Abstract
During the first decade of this century, the Portuguese knitwear industry, and textile cluster, were strongly affected by globalisation and seemed destined to decline. The Portuguese knitwear industry developed for decades a business model based on price as the main competitive factor, and that model was no longer able to support competitiveness against low wages countries. Portuguese knitwear industry made a dramatic change towards a competition based on value to the client. The companies adopted as primary differentiation drives technological innovation, design, fashion, and services customer-oriented, together with more presence on international fairs and exhibitions. The new strategy resulted in the significant growth of exports that reached 40% from 2009 to 2018. The restructuring of the cluster, however, changed it significantly, and the number of companies was reduced by almost 50%. The competitive change made the entire Portuguese textile cluster an international case study where the modern concept of private label business model is central.
The business model of private label adopted by the most competitive knitwear companies considered a full package of services to international clients. It integrated the collection’s design, raw materials development, superior finishing, careful and cost-effective confection and sophisticated logistics. Pedrosa & Rodrigues, SA. is a midcap company from Barcelos County, North of Portugal, and is a highly successful example of the new competitive paradigms. This new model is now leading the Portuguese knitwear industry to a higher level in the value chain and gives it a strong reputation worldwide.

Abstract
Business process management (BPM) in organizations of the clothing industry can be considered as a practice of importance for establishing a stable and progressive business. In contemporary business, which considers the application of best business practices within production-business systems, effective process management becomes important and emerges as a practice that contributes to the overall improvement of the organization’s operations. BPM focuses on improving both internal and inter-organizational operations that take place between organizations within the supply chain of clothing industry. The effective BPM in the organizations of the clothing industry may depend on the establishment of the various elements. The assumption is that influential elements are specifics of the garment industry such as the primary BPM activities, the different dimensions of BPM which are consistent with a comprehensive view of this approach, as well as the mere involvement of human resources in the business processes of the organizations. The defined influential elements are treated as variables of the structural model, created by the implementation of the IBM SPSS AMOS structural modelling program, exploring a number of hypothesized impacts. The results of this research help to understanding the impact of these elements on the strengthening BPM practice in the clothing industry organizations.

Abstract
The manuscript is a section of research completed for the overall impact performance of riot-police-helmet-shells having continuously textile reinforcement. In this research paper, manufacturing of double fabric layered helmet and its impact analysis has been discussed. Moreover, energy contained and blocking forces at various zones at the police-head protector shells were assessed. Results are also compared with the previous work for the impact evaluation of single piece riot-police-helmet-shell. The comparative results show significant difference in values in comparison with single layered riot-police-helmet-shell. These results can lead to the development of Riot-police-helmet-shells that can resist high velocity impact.

Article: Research on double-faced jacquard fabric with compound full-backed structure of three wefts

Abstract
Weft-backed structures with compound weft colours can express the mixed colour effect. However, this structure is not suitable for jacquard fabrics with a double-faced shading effect in the traditional single layer design mode. Taking twenty-thread sateen with a step number (S) of 7 as an example, this paper investigates a design method for compound full-backed structure with three shaded-weave databases (SWDs) by selecting the primary weaves (PWs), designing the compound full-backed technical points and establishing the compound structure database with three SWDs. With this design method, a double-faced shading effect in combination with non-backed and full-backed effects on different sides of the jacquard fabric at the same position is generated. The fabric colour card was produced with three SWDs and three sets of different coloured wefts, and their colour values were measured, followed by an analysis of the compound structures on the reverse side, lightness, colour purity and colour difference (ΔE*ab) of the specimens. The results showed that the three covering effects on the reverse side, partly covered, critical position and totally covered, could be adjusted by controlling the step number and the transition direction of PW-C. For the specimens on the edges of the fabric colour card, their lightness and colour purity values showed a uniform transition effect along with the shading process; their colour differences ranged from 1.23 to 3.69, both in the range of 2–5, and showed a trace or slight colour difference between two adjacent fabric specimens, indicating that the colour shading effect with the three SWDs is stable.

Abstract
Previous research on the subject has reported that competency-based management has a constructive impact on organizational and employees’ performance. One way of presenting human resource competencies is through a formal framework. This study is part of a project to validate a scientifically developed competency framework and assesses the prospects of its application in specific industrial sectors of Pakistan. This methodological work was carried out with background learning in the first phase and a survey was conducted in second phase involving practitioners and experts from the textile industry. Their responses were used to validate the face and content of the framework. Participants were given a presentation on the methodology followed in developing the competency framework and provided a questionnaire for feedback. Out of 75 participants from the textile industry, the majority were from human resource, sales, marketing, information technology, finance, operations, engineering, quality and logistics at managerial level. Participants validated the framework design and contents without suggesting any changes. This study gave confidence about the framework, its development methodology, its format and presentation before bringing in practice.

Abstract
Textile prostheses have been used in abdominal surgery since ancient times. Industrial development of the last one hundred years changed it from simple cloth to highly improved materials that are better integrated and provide superior functional outcomes.
Understanding of the physicochemical properties of surgical meshes is essential for the rational choice of the optimal device. This needs to be closely adapted to mechanical and biological conditions of the anatomical region that will be placed in. The quality of the materials and the manufacturing technique are also of great importance, influencing both the mechanical parameters and the integration of the prosthetic material. Although a hard-to-reach concept, the ideal mesh should have high porosity, a monofilamentous structure and it should be composed of durable, non-carcinogenic, non-allergenic, and highly biocompatible materials. These qualities will ensure a good integration of the prosthesis and will make it easy to handle intraoperatively, resulting in a satisfactory clinical outcome.
Based on the above considerations, this article aims to bring to light useful manufacturing information regarding textile prostheses used in surgical reconstructions, in order to support surgeons in making the correct and rational choice of the prosthetic material, based on its physicochemical properties, thus avoiding postoperative complications. Textile implants apply to various surgical fields such as abdominal or thoracic wall reconstruction, visceral defect repair, pelvic floor stabilization or tissue replacement.
Postoperative complications of mesh use include chronic pain, infection, ulceration of the wound, adhesion formation, intestinal obstruction, recurrence of parietal defect, rejection of the prosthesis, and mesh granuloma.

Abstract
This research study explores the diversification opportunity among 18 European stock market indices for the sample period from January 2001 to December 2019. However, financial education plays an important role in the development of the textile industry, considering the dynamics of the companies listed on the European stock exchanges. The correlation matrix, pairwise cointegration and Johansen cointegration reveal that selected 18 European stock market indices do not reduces the portfolio risk because exhibit higher positive correlation among them, and their movement pulsed in tandem. Potential investors are attracted by high investment opportunities in order to maximize their return based on portfolio diversification. Financial education can effectively contribute to the sustainable growth of the textile industry in Europe. This empirical research provides an integrated perspective on the long-term evolution of certain major European stock exchange indices. The findings have significant implications for investors interested in selecting these European stock indices in order to diversify their portfolio risk. Our study also imply that selected stock indices have been strongly affected by similar political and financial belies across Europe thus, eliminating the possibility of portfolio risk diversification.

Abstract
Despite the large application of the machine embroidery in textile and apparel design and high-tech clothing items, there is а lack of systematic arrangement of the digital stitch lines, used by embroidery machines and embroidery designers. Since 2010 information on embroidery stitch lines could be mostly found in the web sites of the embroidery machine manufacturers and software product manuals. However, in the instruction manuals the instruments for creating various embroidery objects are simply described without providing systematic information on the types of the stitch lines. Even more, different names of the stitch lines and different ways to achieve the same design are observed. Single authors offer their own classifications based entirely and logically on the stitches of the hand embroidery. Another group of authors relied on already developed techniques and strategies for digitizing stitches in various software products or took into account the final appearance of the stitch lines or their application. Our study aimed to develop a detailed and systematic classification of the digital stitch lines in the machine embroidery, which has not been presented in the literature.

Abstract
Owing to the excellent integrated structure, notch-insensitivity, delamination-free characteristics, 3D braided composites have a broad range of engineering applications. In this paper, the notch size effects on two types of 3D braided composites were experimentally examined. Style I incorporated 40% of longitudinal lay-in yarns. Style II was the pure braids. The Point Stress Criterion (PSC) was applied to predict the open-hole strength of 3D braided composites. It is found the 3D braided composites can keep higher proportion residual strength after involving the different circular hole sizes compared to plain woven laminates. The open-hole pure braided specimen shows better performance than that the braids with longitudinal yarns, the lay-in longitudinal yarns improve neither specimens’ un-notched strength, nor the modulus. The predicted open-hole strength were compared with experimental results. The traditional analytical method can predict the open-hole strength of 3D braided composite to some extent. Under uniaxial tensile stress, the failure behaviour of two types of 3D braided specimens are different. For un-notched specimen, clear cracks usually show up on the Style II specimen, while it is not true for Style I coupon. For notched specimen, the crack of both notched specimens will propagate along the notch and finally render the specimen to fail.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous surfaces were produced by using two different polymers (PA 6,6 and PVA) at three different levels of polymer feeding rate (0.2, 0.6 and 1.0 ml/h, respectively) and three different levels of production time in electrospinning (5, 10 and 15 minutes, respectively) and the effect of polymer type, polymer feeding rate and production time was determined by analyzing unit weight and thickness of the nanofibrous membranes as well as fibre fineness and pore size distributions. The results showed that much finer fibres were produced by PA 6,6 polymer compare to PVA. The minimum average fibre fineness was 150.96 nm (by PA 6,6 polymer; 0.2 ml/h; 5 min.) while maximum fibre fineness was 243.43 nm (by PVA polymer; 0.6 ml/h; 15 min.). Similarly, the pore sizes of nanofibrous surfaces produced by PA 6,6 were smaller compare to the ones produced by PVA polymer. The results also indicated that coarser fibres were produced as the polymer feed rate and electrospinning time increased. In the second part of the work, composite structures were obtained by combining nanofibrous surfaces with PP non-woven material and their air permeability and filtration efficiency by using an aerosol having 0.2–0.33 mm diameter range were analyzed. The air permeability of PA 6,6 nanofibrous surfaces were much higher compare to the ones produced by PVA and quite high filtration efficiency (99.901 %) was obtained with PA 6,6 nanofibrous surfaces. Also, potential of these nanofibrous surfaces was evaluated by analysing chemical groups eliminated following their exposure to cigarette smoke which was chosen as a specific case study.

Abstract
In this article, it is aimed to determine the effect of the antibacterial finishing process applied to bed linen fabrics, which are widely used in the market, on some mechanical properties of the fabric. Antibacterial finishing process was applied to the fabric produced for this purpose under operating conditions and wrinkle strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance levels were made on these fabrics. Measurements were made before and after antibacterial finishing. The resulting results were evaluated among themselves and processed in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 program. Since the number of processed data is less than 50 according to greige fabric and antibacterial treated fabric measurements, it has been tested with Shapiro-Wilk analysis. The homogeneity of the test variances of the data was done with Levene homogeneity test. Tear strength, creasing angle and abrasion resistance test results are focused on how scientifically meaningful the effects of process parameters and interactions on fabric properties are in accordance with statistical analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the results obtained from the tear strength, wrinkle angle and abrasion resistance tests were statistically significant and as a result, the antibacterial process parameters negatively affect the wrinkle strength, tear strength of the cotton fabric; it was found to affect the wear resistance positively.

Abstract
Wound dressing is a key factor of the wound management system, having as main objective the stimulation of the healing process for a variety of inflammatory skin diseases. To maximize the therapeutic effects, innovative medical devices with integrated drug delivery system become of real interest during the last decade. For the realization of the optimal woven fabrics used as a substrate for various active principles, such as propolis and cinnamon essential oil, the multivariate linear regression analysis was used to elaborate the conceptual models on the basis of which the experimental models of the textile supports were designed. Using as input data the characteristics of the selected yarns (breaking force, elongation at break, torsion/twist, hygroscopicity), one can predict the structural parameters of the woven fabrics (raw materials, yarn density, lengths of the underlaps) and also the assembly and adjusting parameters for the machinery from weaving preparation and weaving sectors (advance and height of the drum, reed width, drawing-in, input/output of the gripper, cross unevenness reed, stationary in maximum open lease, the moment of the grippers opening, impulse time, the moment of the shaft smoothening, etc.). The validation of the elaborated conceptual models it was confirmed by the registered yields in the range of 88–96 %, during the weaving process.
