Transnational regulation of temporary agency work compromised partnership between Private Employment Agencies and Global Union Federations

This article critically assesses the potential for the international regulation of temporary agency work (TAW) through building partnership between the Global Union Federations (GUFs) and major Private Employment Agencies (PrEAs). Given the limits of existing national and international regulation of TAW, particularly in developing countries, and the current deadlock in dialogue through the International Labour Organization, the argument of this article is that Transnational Private Labour Regulation (TPLR) offers a unique opportunity to establish a basis for minimum standards for temporary agency workers. This article goes on to propose three potential TPLR frameworks that, although compromised, are transparent, fair and sufficiently elastic to accommodate the distributive and political risks associated with partnership. They also offer important gains, namely increasing the competitive advantage of the PrEAs involved, minimum standards for agency workers and ‘field enlarging’ strategies for the GUFs and their affiliates

Application of carrying capacity management in Vietnamese national parks

Implementing carrying capacity is a prerequisite for national parks (NPs) striving to meet the three mandates of park management, namely, recreational use, conservation, and economic value. This study attempts to investigate the application of carrying capacity management in Vietnam’s park system and to assess its application for further development of the concept. Findings show that there are three different approaches to the implementation of carrying capacity in Vietnamese parks, including (1) a laissez-faire approach, (2) a relaxed approach, and (3) a strict approach. It is suggested that economic consideration is one of the major constraints to the implementation in developing countries such as Vietnam. This study not only contributes to the literature on capacity management in NPs, especially in the context of developing countries, but its findings are also valuable for park authorities to achieve the triple mandates of park management

Rotor losses for PMS machines with concentrated windings

The aim of this paper is to describe a novel method for losses computation in the surface mounted magnets of synchronous machines with non-overlapping concentrated windings. That method can be applied as well as in the case of non-jointed magnets than in the case of edge-to-edge magnets forming a continuous ring

Modeling resolvers for their application in high performance drives

An almost completely digital angular position measurement chain, based on a resolver, is presented. Its static and dynamic performances are assessed. An electromechanical model of the resolver is developed, which, besides the fundamental inductive coupling, takes the main parasitic elements into account. This model describes the combined influence of mechanical speed and electrical loading, enabling the precise evaluation of the dynamic error

Torque-to-Weight Ratio Maximization in PMSM Using Topology Optimization

This paper focuses on the maximization of the torque-to-weight ratio of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) using a topology optimization method. It aims at finding the optimal design that either maximizes the torque for a given weight or minimizes the weight for a required torque. The analysis presented in this paper besides considers radial and tangential permanent magnets. The paper shows that the optimization always leads to the same optimal motor topology, which is scaled to achieve the required torque. In addition, a scale law is highlighted for computing the PMSM torque according to its size and is used to plot a Pareto curve that provides the achievable torque-to-weight ratio according to the motor weight
