Addressing hamstring muscle soreness in female NCAA athletes: design and evaluation of a user-centered compression sleeve for recovery

Fashion and Textiles
Compression garments are used by athletes for post-exercise recovery and injury prevention, yet their effectiveness depends on the interaction between textile properties, garment construction, and user-specific biomechanics. Despite growing participation

Economic approaches to measuring labor exploitation in agriculture: A systematic literature review of indicators and methodologies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Agriculture remains highly vulnerable to labor exploitation, affecting almost two million workers worldwide and drawing increasing attention, particularly within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 8 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. However, the informal nature of exploitation and fragmented data complicate its analysis.

Undiversity, inequity, and exclusion in supply chains: The unintended fallout of economic sanctions and consumer boycotts

Production and Operations Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Economic sanctions and consumer boycotts are common tools to punish organizations for undesirable behavior and attempt to coerce them to change their actions. However, these tools occasionally spill over beyond the intended recipients and affect guiltless supply chain members, jeopardizing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.
