Objectives: For the purpose of evaluation of exhaled NO as an index of airway inflammation, we assessed changes in fractional exhaled NO (FeNO) across a work shift and its relationship with respiratory complaints. Material and Methods: Chronic and work-aggravated respiratory complaints were assessed using a questionnaire in 89 male textile workers. FeNO and spirometry were performed before and after a work shift and all the changes were registered. Results: A significant increase in FeNO after a work shift was observed. Post-shift FeNO was significantly higher among the subjects with chronic respiratory complaints. There was an obvious decrease in FVC, and FEV₁ after a work shift; however, we couldn’t find a significant relationship between changes in respiratory parameters and concentration of inhalable dusts. Conclusions: FeNO increase after a work shift along with pulmonary function decrement and higher post-shift FeNO among subjects with respiratory complaints makes across-shift FeNO a non-invasive test for assessment of airway hyper-responsiveness in textile workers.

At the turn of 19th and 20th centuries the first academic writings on the Lodz textile industry were developed.Their authors were descendants of Lodz factory owners who studied at German universities (Frida Bielschowsky, Kurt Schweikert), as well as researchers not connected with Lodz (Róża Luksemburg, Alfred Scholz). The common feature of these research papers was their historical and economical view of the subject. The article characterizes the main thesis of the writings and shows the influence of Marxist theory as well as the ideas of the younger German school of economics. The sources of glorification in the presentation of the achievements and influence of German industrialists were also discussed.The article contains a thesis on the permanency of the Lodz industrial image which was created in the discussed academic writings.

The purpose of this article is to analyze and clarify the circumstances which led to the current condition and degradation of the watercourses and rivers of Łódź. These rivers were the decisive factor in initiating and stimulating the industrial development of the city. A detailed analysis examined changes in the management of river waters in the vicinity of the socalled water-front factory settlements (referred to locally as “posiadła”) in the River Jasień valley. This was the location of one of the first industrial settlements within the city of Łódź and took place shortly after the city was included by the Polish Kingdom authorities (in 1821) in the group of so-called factory cities intended for the development of the textile industry - initially with emphasis on the cloth and linen making industry, with further transformation into the cotton industry. The article presents the forms and methods of use of the River Jasień in the period from the beginning of the 19th century up to the present. The specification assumed therefore the period of agricultural usage in the form of water mills, through textile manufacture, industrial production and the period after the fall of the textile industry. The River Jasień is an outstanding example of the way, in which people have “treated” the river during the successive stages of technological development of textile production. How close to the river they settled at the early stages of industrial development, slowly “moving away” from the river, leading to its gradual degradation, and abandoning it, restraining it to a covered channel, to ultimately forgetting it ever existed. The changes in these man - river relationships, as described in this document, can lead to conclusions for the future direction for the current spatial policy of the city. Also about these riverside post-industrial areas, with regard to the need to restore their original values and the need to protect and conserve their unique natural character and cultural heritage.

This paper aims to investigate the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the successful introduction of Six Sigma in Small and Medium Sized Turkish Textile Enterprises. A survey-based approach is used in order to identify and understand the current quality practices of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). CSFs and impeding factors are identified and analyzed. The involvement and commitment of top management, linking quality initiatives to employee and information technology and innovation are found to be important CSFs for textile SMEs. The leadership and commitment of top management, strategic vision, and data collection and measurement, are found to be the most CSFs for the successful introduction of Six Sigma, whereas the lack of knowledge of the system to start the initiative and the presence of ISO-certification in the company are found to hinder its implementation. The lack of qualified personnel and incompetence with new technologies are found to lower the performance of Turkish textile SMEs.

The global textile industry has a significant environmental impact since the current system for producing, distributing and using clothing exhausts natural resources. However, while there has been a growing awareness of negative environmental impacts among customers, more and more clothing companies have aligned themselves with the principles of sustainability. This paper investigates whether and how clothing companies express the notion of environmental sustainability in their names. The data consist of 114 company and brand names in the sustainable Finnish textile industry, supplemented with information taken from the webpages of these companies. The analysis focuses on the semantic features of the names, and it is based on a cognitive-discursive view and metaphor theory. The choice of language has been examined as part of name semantics. Many companies have written the story behind the brand name on their website. Names can convey direct notions of sustainability and circular economy (Pure Waste, Relove, Upcycler). Names that consist of words referring to nature (Cocoon house, Weekendbee) have an indirect relation to corporate sustainability. Some names consist of a personal name, which underlines the responsibility of the brand, or a place name, which may highlight locality. Valuing local production is also behind the choice of Finnish as the language of the name.

This paper provides a descriptive analysis of the innovation and business strategies of Canadian textile firms. The results show that the textile industry is in a state of decline due mainly to competitive pressures resulting from economic and regulatory changes. The results also show that while the industry recognizes the need for innovation, the current strategies and practices do not seem to be aligned to their strategic goals of fostering innovation.

In this paper the configuration of the value chains in the automobile and the textile industries building on a theoretical review of the value chain concept, its different typologies and governance models are analised. At the empirical level these chains are classified according to the most relevant participating actors, their interrelations and their methods of upgrading their competitiveness. In both chains a firm-level analysis of their quantitative indicators for competitiveness was carried out. Regarding the automobile industry assemblers generate significant agglomeration economies by attracting international suppliers. The modular production system of the sector generates great flexibility for the manufacturer but it also represents important opportunities for supplier companies aiming to improve their competitive position in these chains. As for the textile industry, our paper shows the clear leadership of the large distribution chains which have radically changed the sector transforming it into an industry driven by the buyers or distributors. Results indicate that the distribution companies are those that have the potential to generate greater added value when these companies have created integrated structures at the end of the chain.

Circular economy is the answer to the inevitable need to reduce the impact on the environment. Closing production cycles means desisting from the current linear model, which delivers huge amounts of waste. The circular economy model is based not only on eco‑efficiency, but also on the right approach in product design and re‑use. The overriding objective of the circular economy is to minimize the amount of waste produced or to eliminate it completely. The textile and apparel industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, generating waste mainly in the form of clothes. The problem of huge quantities of unused clothing is further compounded by the idea of fast fashion and excessive consumption. This article outlines the steps that should be taken to implement the basic assumptions of the circular economy in the textile and apparel industry, thus demonstrating the potential for this concept in the garment industry. The author also explains the basic guidelines of closed‑loop economy and points to the specific characteristics of the textile and apparel industry and its environmental impact.

PL

Gospodarka okrężna to odpowiedź na potrzebę zmniejszania oddziaływania na środowisko naturalne. Zamykanie obiegów produkcyjnych to odejście od dotychczasowego modelu linearnego, dostarczającego ogromne ilości odpadów. Model circular economy opiera się nie tylko na ekoefektywności, ale i na odpowiednim podejściu – od etapu projektowania produktu aż po jego ponowne wykorzystanie. Celem nadrzędnym gospodarki okrężnej jest zmniejszenie ilości produkowanych odpadów do minimum lub zupełne ich wyeliminowanie. Przemysł tekstylno‑odzieżowy jest jedną z najbardziej zanieczyszczających branż na świecie, generuje odpady głównie w postaci ubrań. Problem ogromnej ilości produkowanej odzieży jest dodatkowo potęgowany przez ideę fast fashion i nadmierny konsumpcjonizm. Artykuł przedstawia kroki, które powinny być podjęte w celu wdrożenia podstawowych założeń circular economy, jednocześnie pokazując potencjał rozwoju tej koncepcji w branży odzieżowej. Dzięki wnikliwej analizie możliwe było określenie i wskazanie konkretnych rozwiązań będących szansą na rozwój gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym w przemyśle tekstylno‑odzieżowym. Autorka wyjaśnia także podstawowe założenia gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym oraz wskazuje na specyficzne cechy przemysłu tekstylno‑odzieżowego i jego wpływ na środowisko naturalne.

The paper is based on the archive of the Central Directorate of the Archbishops’ Estates, where one finds position papers concerning land parcelling, leasing of processing facilities (mangles, fulling machines, bleaching works), catering and other facilities (such as Jewish restaurants). Proto-industrial textile production reigned supreme in Frýdek-Místek region by the end of the 18th century, but it was precisely because of this that a mangle in a new village was up against fierce competition. A fight broke out among the lessees of this originally ‘monopoly’ machine to counter efforts to set up a competitive facility right in the town of Místek, to beat off the competition on the Silesian side of the border, and to alleviate government pressures aiming to remove various barriers to doing business. The relationship between the town and the country is manifested on several levels: head-tohead competition, mutual dependence and necessary coexistence, because only people in the town were wealthy enough to lease emphyteutically the seigneurial operations, and there were thriving markets that attracted traders from afar.

The main goal of this article was to present the talks of Prime Minister Piotr Jaroszewicz with striking workers in Łódź. The meeting took place in the evening of 14 February 1971. The Polish People’s Republic authorities hoped that a direct contact would make it possible to end the dangerous conflict. Prime Minister Jaroszewicz, however, did not achieve the same effect as Edward Gierek in Szczecin and Gdańsk in January 1971. In this situation, the government was forced to withdraw from the December price increase.

Jaroszewicz nie osiągnął jednak takiego efektu, jak Edward Gierek w Szczecinie i w Gdańsku w styczniu 1971 r. W tej sytuacji rząd został zmuszony do wycofania się z grudniowej podwyżki cen.

Podjęta w latach 1823–1824 próba zorganizowania w Uniejowie osady fabrycznej i uprzemysłowienia miasta nie powiodła się. Wytwórczość bawełniana i lniarska, zainicjowana przez cudzoziemskich rzemieślników, nie znalazła odpowiedniego wsparcia ze strony władz miejskich i wojewódzkich. W artykule scharakteryzowano grupę pierwszych uniejowskich „fabrykantów” i zakres podjętej przez nich działalności oraz wskazano przyczyny niepowodzenia w industrializacji miasta.

As a result of significant technological changes in the 20th century in much of the industrialized European cities there has been a gradual relocation and decline of industry. An effective tool of spatial and functional transformation of degraded areas is revitalization. This article attempts to assess the impact of transformation of industrial and urban structure in city areas historically associated with the textile industry. Comparative analysis is related to the largest centers of the textile industry heritage in the UK, France and Poland. The main aim of the article is to identify the spatial arrangement of the textile industry postindustrial objects in a city scale and to describe transformations. It presents the examples of adapting factory buildings for new purposes and creating space as a destination for tourist services and public space for the residents. It shows the results of revitalization processes and industrial heritage potential that gives opportunities for development of educational, cultural and recreational tourism functions.

Rajmund Rembieliński (1774–1841), President of Mazovia Province Commission in 1816–1832, elaborated a new model of civil servant whose priority is public interest. Following the assumptions of economic liberalism, he flexibly adapted them to the conditions and needs of the agricultural country, far behind the Western Europe. Revealing such features as determination, obstinacy, uncompromising attitude and haste, he advocated projects whose implementation created foundations of building and developing textile industry in the Kingdom of Poland. Obeying financial discipline, he skillfully joined state control with promoting initiatives of private entrepreneurs. Aiming at system solutions, he warned against pathologies in economic life and showed how to eliminate them. He got personally involved in designing and town planning works in emerging industrial cities. He created and implemented a wide program of care over craftsmen coming to the Kingdom of Poland. He did not avoid mistakes while assessing expertise and financial possibilities of foreign entrepreneurs. However, it was a typical phenomenon for the countries starting to build capitalistic structures.

Раймунд Рамбелински (1774–1841), исполняющий в 1816–1832 гг. функцию председателя Комиссии Мазовецкого воеводства, выработал новую модель государственного чиновника, целью которого являлось благополучие общества. Он принимал программу хозяйственного либерализма, әластично применял ее к условиям и потребностям земледельческой страны, отстающей по отношению к западной Европе. Проявляя определенные черты: решительность, твердость, бескомпромиссность, поспешность, он форсировал проекты, реализация которых создала прочный фундамент для строительства и развития текстильного производства в Польском Королевстве. Придерживаясь финансовой дисциплины, умело соединял государственный аппарат штатов с выдвижением инициатив частных предпринимателей. Стремясь к системным развязкам, предупреждал о патологии в хозяйственной жизни и подсказывал способы их решения. Принимал личное участие в работах, связанных с планированием и урбанистикой в новых растущих промышленных городах. Создавал и реализовывал широкую программу опеки над прибывающими в Польское Королевство ремесленниками. Конечно, не обошлось без ошибок в оценке профессиональных достижений и финансовых возможностей предпринимателей. Однако, такое явление было типичным для стран, развивающих свои капиталистические структуры.
