This study looks into how sustainable leadership affects the economic, environmental, and social facets of sustainable performance for textile sector workers. Based on theories of organisational behaviour and sustainable leadership, the study looks at how leaders who put sustainability first affect social well-being, eco-friendly practices, and worker productivity. Through surveys and interviews with employees and leadership representatives, data was gathered from workers in different textile organisations in the Indian states of Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir union territory. The results show that sustainable leadership improves social performance by encouraging employee involvement and well-being, improves environmental performance through green practices, and increases economic performance by promoting productivity and innovation. The study emphasises how important leadership is in coordinating organisational objectives with sustainability, and it provides managers and policymakers with practical advice on how to include sustainable leadership frameworks for sustained performance enhancements in the textile sector.","PeriodicalId":13638,"journal":{"name":"Industria Textila","volume":"76 05","pages":"703-713"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.35530/it.076.05.2024187","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147895793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying these risks helps firms assess their current situation and take stronger steps toward the future. In this study, the DEMATEL method was used to calculate the interactions and weighting of risk factors based on expert opinions, enabling a realistic and applicable occupational health and safety management approach. The analysis revealed that management perceptions, education, and employee expectations have the greatest impact on other criteria, while chemical factors are the most influenced by them. The criteria that do not significantly affect any of the criteria are employee psychology, biological factors, and technology. Implementing occupational health and safety practices while considering these factors will lead to more effective and efficient outcomes. Textile firms must prioritise such analyses and recognise their role in enhancing overall efficiency. Furthermore, firms that successfully foster an occupational health and safety culture will be better positioned to achieve their sustainability goals. By integrating these practices into their operational strategies, textile firms can create a safer and healthier environment for employees, ensure production continuity, and contribute to long-term growth and stability. Ultimately, understanding risk factors is key to aligning occupational health and safety with broader sustainability objectives, benefiting both firms and their stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":13638,"journal":{"name":"Industria Textila","volume":"76 05","pages":"696-702"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.35530/it.076.05.202512","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147907525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the primary purpose of this research article is to investigate the impact of ICT on capital market uncertainty in Iran. In this study, the GARCH model has been used to estimate the capital market uncertainty index. The results of ARDL model estimation using quarterly data in the period 2011: 1 to 2020: 4 in the short and long term showed the effect of the ratio of online transactions to the total volume of transactions as an ICT indicator on capital market uncertainty in the short term. Long-term are different. In the short run, increasing the ratio of online transactions to the total volume of transactions has increased capital market uncertainty. It has reduced capital market uncertainty in the long run. Other model results showed that inflation, economic growth, and exchange rate significantly affect the performance uncertainty of the total stock exchange index as an indicator of capital market uncertainty. And it takes about 7.5 seasons on average to completely offset the imbalance in capital market uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":13638,"journal":{"name":"Industria Textila","volume":"99 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139163962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results further suggest that SEHRM substantially mediates the relationship between e-HRM practices and firm performance. To establish SEHRM systems, an emphasis must be placed on e-HRM practices that improve employees' abilities and motivation. Once employees comprehend the importance of EHRM, they will be attracted towards this system routinely for activities such as goal planning and performance evaluation. Creating SEHRM helps improve the functions of the business.

The batch adsorption method was used for the experiments. The magnetic nanoparticles, synthesised by an inexpensive and environmentally friendly precipitation process, were characterised by FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET surface area, and XRD analyses. The optimum pH values determined for Fe3O4 and Fe 3O4@HA were the original pH (6.4) and 4, respectively. The equilibrium state was reached after 60 minutes for both adsorbents. The values for Fe 3O4 and Fe3O4@HA were determined as 3.4 mg/g and 3.1 mg/g, respectively, when 10 mg/l initial dyestuff concentration and 2 g adsorbent were used. The results obtained in the adsorption experiments performed for both adsorbents were compatible with the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo- second-order kinetic model. Fe3O4 was found to be more efficient than Fe3O4@HA in terms of reuse and Fe3O4 can be used 5 times without any significant loss of adsorption capacity. The results showed that Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@HA can be environmentally friendly alternative adsorbents for the removal of hazardous azo dyestuffs from water, and have regeneration possibilities.","PeriodicalId":13638,"journal":{"name":"Industria Textila","volume":"35 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139164588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the production of cotton is also known to have a significant impact on the environment, particularly freshwater resources. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable, with 40% of the world's water-deprived people living in the region. Cotton is a vital cash crop in sub-Saharan Africa, serving as the main source of livelihood for over 2 million rural families, but its production is also water-intensive, requiring around 20,000 litters of water per kg of cotton yield. In addition, cotton farming in the region is largely dependent on rain, but countries are looking to expand their production and acreage through increased irrigation, putting further pressure on already stretched water resources. This essay investigates the sustainability of sub-Saharan Africa's cotton industry, using Mali as a case study. The region can increase its output significantly, but this must be done sustainably to avoid exacerbating the negative impact on freshwater resources. The study also discusses the water crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, cotton farming in Mali and the region, and the potential consequences of increased cotton production on families and the environment. Mali, currently the highest cotton producer on the continent is a convenient case study reflecting conditions in other sub-Saharan countries. By studying the scientific literature on the progression of cotton production and attendant problems in Mali and some other West African countries, I hope to inform policymakers in the region about some proven ways to improve cotton yield and processing while leaving water resources pristine. The plan centres on producing cotton in an eco-friendly manner through the adoption of organic cotton, and GM cotton and irrigation in suitable areas. At the same time, there is a need to reduce the grey water footprint by reducing chemical usage and treating effluents before discharge.","PeriodicalId":13638,"journal":{"name":"Industria Textila","volume":"14 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139165312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
