White paper on the future of plasma science and technology in plastics and Textiles
Plasma Processes and Polymers, 2019Co-Authors: Uroš Cvelbar, James Walsh, Stephan Reuter, Thierry Belmonte, | Carles Corbella, Camelia Miron, Nataša Hojnik, Andrea Jurov, Harinarayanan Puliyalil, Jan SchäferAbstract:This white paper considers the future of plasma science and technology related to the manufacturing and modifications of plastics and Textiles, summarizing existing efforts and the current state-of-art for major topics related to plasma processing techniques. It draws on the frontier of plasma technologies in order to see beyond and identify the grand challenges which we face in the following 5–10 years. To progress and move the frontier forward, the paper highlights the major enabling technologies and topics related to the design of surfaces, coatings and materials with nonequilibrium plasmas. The aim is to progress the field of plastics and Textile Production using advanced plasma processing as the key enabling technology which is environmentally friendly, cost-efficient, and offers high-speed processing.

unraveling the myth of the subsistence economy Textile Production in nineteenth century northern thailand
The Journal of Asian Studies, 1992Co-Authors: Katherine A BowieAbstract:For decades, scholarship on the Thai peasantry has proceeded as if the history of the peasantry were known. Scholars have luxuriated in tourist-brochure images of primeval abundance, reiterating unchallenged the famous adage from the thirteenth-century stele of King Ramkhamhaeng, “There is fish in the water and rice in the fields.” Little hyperbole exists in Thadeus Flood's statement, “For the past century much Western imperialist scholarship and Thai royalist scholarship has sought to perpetuate the image of benign Thai royalty ruling over a happy, carefree, and subservient populace dwelling in a land of sunshine and smiles” (1975:55). For observers of modern Thai society, demonstrations by discontented peasants and assassinations of their leaders have destroyed the myth of a rustic paradise. Nonetheless, the theme of self-sufficiency continues to dominate the literature on Thai history.

decision support and intelligent systems in the Textile and apparel supply chain an academic review of research articles
Expert Systems With Applications, 2014Co-Authors: Eric W T Ngai, Paul Alexande, S. Peng, Karen Kaleung MooAbstract:This article provides a comprehensive review of research articles related to the application of decision support and intelligent systems in the Textile and apparel supply chains. Data were obtained from 77 articles published from 1994 to 2009 in 35 journals. The articles were categorized according to their applicability into three basic sectors - Textile Production, apparel manufacture, and distribution/sales. They were further categorized into 16 subsectors based on their operational and management/control processes. A comprehensive list of categorized journal articles identified in this study provides insights and relevant references for both researchers and practitioners on the application of decision support and intelligent systems to various stages of a Textile and apparel supply chain. In light of the developed classification framework, we identify gaps in extending the use of the decision support and artificial intelligent systems in the industry and suggest potential and applicable research areas for further consideration in this subject area.

Towards Reflexive Responsibility in a Textile Supply Chain
Business Strategy and The Environment, 2018Co-Authors: Natasja Börjeson, Magnus BoströmAbstract:Modern industrial society has transformed the Textile sector. Brand†owning companies today seldom own the Production process but instead rely on global supply chains consisting of a myriad of suppliers and sub†suppliers. The global scope of this sector, along with the complex and uncertain health and environmental risks associated with Textile Production, create extensive challenges for companies striving for sustainability. This paper explores the possibilities for responsible management of high†risk chemicals in Textiles and focuses on a case study of a Swedish outdoor company. The concept of reflexive responsibility is used to understand and discuss potential possibilities and challenges. The paper describes the process and illuminates the complexity, balancing acts and avenues for upstream responsibility faced by a brand†owning company. It contributes to an understanding of how important steps towards responsibility can be taken. It also addresses the limits of responsible supply chain management of one organization, albeit a highly committed one. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
