Purpose – This paper analyses the sustainability-oriented transformation of industries from the lens of sustainable entrepreneurship. We investigate the co-evolution between pioneers introducing radically more sustainable offerings and (mostly large) market leaders with their responses. While sustainability pioneers introduce new products in niche markets, incumbents advance them into the mass ...

The relationship between a female's clothing choice, sexual motivation, hormone levels, and partnership status (single or not single, partner present or not present) was analyzed in 351 females attending Austrian discotheques. We digitally analyzed clothing choice to determine the amount of skin display, sheerness, and clothing tightness. Participants self-reported sexual motivation, and we ass...

flexibility is one of the most important indicators of a supply chain .a flexible supply chain in the face of market changes and customer needs, must be responsive to the changes and needs, to be able to attract customers in the a competitive marketplace. being aware of the flexibility of a supply chain helps managers to solve problems and overcome deficiencies and increase the competitive adva...

In this paper, a new framework is proposed for clothing style recognition in natural scenes. Clothing region is first detected through the fusion of super-pixel segmentation, saliency detection and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Next, a group of fashion attribute detectors are trained to get the likelihood of each attribute in the clothing image. Finally, the correlation matrix between clothing ...

This study was conducted to improve the construction of impermeable clothing protecting against liquid chemical agents in order to lower the thermal strain caused by the clothing during work. Previous studies indicated that light work in a hot environment in this kind of clothing could last 30 min only. We propose a modification of the construction; new models of protective clothing were tested...

background: work clothing can limit heat exchange between humans and the environment and cause thermal strain and heat-related disorders in workers. it can thus reduce both efficiency and productivity. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of work clothing material on physiological strain index (psi) in climatic chamber. methods: an interventional study was conducted on 18 male s...
