    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; waste; surplus; redesign; remake; design; method; clothing; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : In relation to waste hierarchies, activities such as redesign, reuse, and remanufacturing are often promoted because they can recover more resources than other activities. For example, studies have repeatedly shown that reuse and remanufacturing have more beneficial effects for the environment than recycling on the fibre level. READ MORE

  4. 2. Manufacturing Decisions and A Multi-Tier Supply Location Decision-Support Model for Enhancing Sustainability in Textile and Clothing Supply Chains

    Author : Petchprakai Sirilertsuwan; Lantz Björn; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; carbon emissions; global supply chain network design; location decisions; manufacturing decisions; supplier selection; supply chain performance measurement; sustainable supply chain management; total cost calculation; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Abstract : A recent trend towards sustainability has led to increases in various sustainable practices, but sustainability has still not been fully implemented into manufacturing and supply location decisions. A fragmented product supply chain, which has various locations and multi-tier suppliers, leads to difficulties in traceability to ensure the supply chain has business, environmental, and social/socio-economic sustainability, known as the triple bottom line (TBL).

    Author : Vidmina Stasiulyte; Clemens Thornquist; Daniëlle Bruggeman; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : Fashion is primarily a visual ontology consisting of definitions, theory and methods that are based on visual language. This research revises fashion by approaching it from a different—sonic—perspective wherein sound is considered not as a negative aspect but as a potential source of a new theory and facilitator of the evolution of new methods.

    Author : Luis E Blanco Romero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Dermal exposure; pesticides; determinants of dermal exposure to pesticides; subsistence farmers; fluorescent tracer; visual scoring system;

    Abstract : Background: We know little about the levels of exposure to pesticide in subsistence farmers mainly because of lack of easy to use and low cost pesticide exposure assessment methods. Aim: This thesis aimed to develop a semi-quantitative approach to assess dermal exposure to pesticides relevant for conditions in developing countries. READ MORE

  7. 5. Enabling Surface Cleaning Robot for Large Food Silo
