MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF WEFT-KNITTED FABRICS FOR TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS

AUTEX Research Journal, 2004
This paper is in four parts. The first is related to general considerations and experimentalanalyses, and each of the others is related to different approaches to the theoreticalanalyses of the mechanical behaviour of weft-knitted fabrics and weft ...

Biographies, ontological security and the socio‐spatial politics shaping teachers' mobility in remote Australia

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The global teacher shortage continues to intensify, with disparate impacts across geographic and socio‐economic communities. In Queensland, Australia, where this study originates, post‐COVID teacher shortages have intensified workforce pressures, leaving several regional, rural and remote schools as some of the ‘hardest‐to‐staff’ in the ...

‘In a small school, it's just capacity all of the time’: Delivery and experiences of a national early career teacher development initiative across diverse school settings in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective early career support is associated with a variety of professional and personal benefits for teachers and their schools. However, research indicates that the contextual features of schools, such as their size and geographic location, influence the support that new teachers receive.

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

An Investigation On Air and Thermal Transmission Through Knitted Fabric Structures Using the Taguchi Method

AUTEX Research Journal, 2017
Knitted fabrics have excellent comfort properties because of their typical porous structure. Different comfort properties of knitted fabrics such as air permeability, thermal absorptivity, and thermal conductivity depend on the properties of raw material

Two Pathways to ‘No’: Context‐Conditioned Sufficient Pathways to Formal SBTi Non‐Engagement Among Apparel and Footwear Suppliers in Bangladesh and China

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The apparel and footwear (A&F) industry accounts for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, much of it arising from supplier activities. While leading brands increasingly commit to science‐based targets (SBTs), formal engagement with the Science‐Based Targets initiative (SBTi) remains limited among suppliers, especially in key sourcing ...

Riding on a Pegasus: Is ‘Sustainability’ Still a Myth in Bangladesh's RMG Sector?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although a growing number of studies explore sustainability, the role of stakeholders and institutions in shaping environmental sustainability initiatives remains overlooked particularly from the upstream fashion supply chain contexts. Drawing upon the framework proposed by Lee, our study aims to fill this gap by examining the interplay ...
