Protecting emergency workers and armed forces from volatile toxic compounds: Applicability of reversible conductive polymer-based sensors in barrier …
2019
International audience; Barrier materials have wide applicability in both professional (military, medical, industrial) and non-professional(leisure and sports) fields. This paper focuses on the preparation of real conductive polymer (CP) sensors, for thestudy of the permeation of volatile toxic compounds through barrier materials. Use of such a CP sensor can helpimprove the quality of barrier materials used in protective clothing. Several types of platforms have beenmanufactured or purchased for use as comb sensors with different electrode dimensions, and a suitable methodof applying the detection layer of conductive polymers (polyaniline and poly-pyrrole) has been developed. Prepared senso…
Fashion-driven Textiles as A Crystal of A New Stream for Stakeholder Capitalism – Amazon's Endeavor
2020
Fashion reflects changes in socio-economic and cultural life which, in turn, changes fashion, and apparel boosts such change. Thus, in response to a shift in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond an economic value, the fashion industry has been gaining momentum worldwide. In the digital economy, the fashion industry is in the midst of global dynamic change stimulating volatility, velocity, variety and dynamism, which necessitate a digital solution. Digital business leader Amazon has succeeded in constructing an R&D-driven disruptive businesss model. This can be attributed to a virtuous cycle among user-driven innovation, advancement of the …
SIA "New Rosme" finanšurādītāju analīze un novērtēšna
2016
Diplomdarba mērķis ir veikt uzņēmuma SIA „New Rosme” finanšu analīzi un ar iegūto rādītāju palīdzību konstatēt uzņēmumā radušās problēmas un meklēt risinājumus, lai turpinātu tā turpmāko attīstību. Uzņēmums 2014.gadā aizvēra 4 veikalus Krievijā, nestabilās ekonomikas dēļ. Šī iemesla dēļ, autore izvirza uzdevumu izvērtēt uzņēmuma finansiālo stabilitāti un noskaidrot vai pastāv maksātnespējas iespēja un draudi uzņēmuma turpmākai darbībai un attīstībai. Darbs sastāv no teorētiskās un praktiskās daļas: Teorētiskajā daļā autore apskatīs finanšu analīzes nozīmi un būtību. Praktiskajā daļā tiks veikti finanšu rādītāju aprēķini, balstoties uz teorētiskajiem aspektiem un SIA „New Rosme” finanšu pārs…
Fusayolas de la necrópolis de Olival do Senhor dos Mártires (Alcácer do Sal, Portugal) : tipología, función y simbolismo
2018
La presencia de un conjunto significativo de fusayolas entre los ajuares de la necrópolis de la Edad del Hierro de Olival do Senhor dos Mártires (Alcácer do Sal, Portugal) plantea cuestiones de gran interés sobre los límites entre la función de estos elementos y su significado simbólico y escatológico. En este estudio se abordan esas cuestiones, analizando por un lado las características físicas, tecnológicas y morfológicas de las piezas, y por otro los posibles códigos simbólicos y religiosos que las convierten en elementos integrales del ajuar funerario en distintas comunidades del sur peninsular.
Assessment of bioavailability and effects of chemicals due to remediation actions with caging mussels (Anodonta anatina) at a creosote-contaminated l…
2002
A study was conducted at Lake Jämsänvesi in Central Finland, to identify the potential ecotoxicological risks of the remediation operation of a creosote-/PAH-contaminated lake sediment, made by capping during the years 1998-1999. Mussels (Anodonta anatina) were deployed to the lake at the same time as the remediation operation was started in November 1998. The contaminated area (0.5 ha) was covered by a filter geotextile (polypropylene), gravel and sand (1-1.5m) which were spread out on the ice and let to sink onto the bottom of the lake when the ice melted in May 1999. The possible impacts of capping to the adjacent environment were assessed from mussels exposed and particulate material se…
Uptake of organic xenobiotics by benthic invertebrates from sediment contaminated by the pulp and paper industry
2007
Abstract Uptake of pulp and paper mill-derived pollutants by benthic invertebrates from sediment in Southern Lake Saimaa, eastern Finland, was studied. Two groups of benthic invertebrates (Diptera and Oligochaeta) were analyzed for their concentrations of resin acids (RAs), chlorophenolics (CPs) and β -sitosterol. The samples were collected 1 and 3 km downstream from the mill. In laboratory experiments Chironomus plumosus (a dipteran) and Lumbriculus variegatus (oligochaete) were exposed for 14 d to sediments collected from the same locations. The concentrations of RAs, CPs and β -sitosterol were higher in the areas downstream from the mill than those in the upstream reference area in both …
Capturing the Resilience of the Textile Companies as a Specific Response of the Fashion industry
2021
This chapter examines the most recent innovative activities of textile companies in Spain and their expansion into sanitary textiles and digitalization. In light of the global crisis caused by the COVID-19, we consider highly relevant to review the challenges of one of the most important fashion sectors, e.g., the textile industry, through this evolutionary period and the resilience of clusters. From this territorial perspective, we explained the industry’s restructuring and survival through three main elements: companies, relationships, and institutions. Companies are fundamental because they pave the way forward with their strategic responses. Relationships or clustering is the interactio…
Usos y costumbres del vestido en la Valencia moderna : (del siglo XVI al siglo XIX)
1998
Los genoveses y el negocio de la seda en Valencia (1457-1512)
2020
We study here the presence of the numerous Genoese silk dealers in Valencia at the end of the XVth century: merchants, artisans, workers. This settlement signified a crucial economic change in the Valencian traditional silk industry with its Moorish background, and this, in consequence, facilitated reconversion of the textile industry and an increase in its trade. Moreover, international migration and the role of the Genoese silk industry facilitated social mobility during the low Middle Ages and contributed to the origin of the modern European system of relationships in the Mediterranean. On étudie ici la présence de nombreux soyeux génois à Valence a la fin du XVe siècle: marchands, art…
Capilaridad de la manufactura textil en la Plana de Castelló. El caso de Onda en el siglo XV
2010
Onda, a locality with an oscillating population between 300 and 600 dwellings in the 15th century and with Moslems and Jews in the local work, becomes a new piece of the puzzle that lets us see the capillarity of the wool textile manufacture in “La Plana de Castelló”. This capillarity can be seen in the production of clothes, just like in the raw material trade or in the movement of craftsmen. To approach this situation we have basically used the series of documents of the judge of the village kept in the “Archivo del Reino de Valencia”.<br><br>Onda, localidad con un volumen demográfico oscilante entre 300-600 fuegos en el transcurso del siglo XV, con presencia de mudéjares y ju…
