Digital fashion - how and when?

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Virtual Reality and 3D systems are widely in use in many industries, both for design and marketing. Automobiles are designed by 3D systems, and the same images are further used in sales promotion and also in sales configurations. 3D design systems are also used by several fashion companies. But only a few go beyond that and present virtual products in web sites and in configurator applications like the famous Sales Wall by Adidas, which is regarded to be the company at the forefront in virtualization in fashion.3D software solutions are widely available. Lectra offers tools for designers while Browzwear, Optitex and Clo3D go further by integrating the 3D designs to sales configuration solutions including moving avatars. The Korean golf wear manufacturer Elrod organizes virtual cat walks for presenting their garments, where nothing, i.e. models (avatars), garments, cat walk and scenery, is real. The visual quality of avatars and garments improves continuously. Furthermore, such systems make customized e commerce possible. The aim of the recently completed Horizon 2020 funded project 'fromROLLtoBAG' was to create an integrated consumer driven local production system with the help of virtual design and digital manufacturing. Consumers connected with mobile devices can customize the avatar, insert own measurements and virtually try on garments from suppliers’ collection. Once done the order is transferred to a local manufacturer which with digital printing, cutting and unit assembly produces the product and ships to the customer in one day. Besides offering digital market place to brand companies, the objective of the project was to bring garment production back to Europe.

The separation of green liquor sludge : A comparison between liquors produced in a gasifier and a recovery boiler
- 2009
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Green liquor is produced as when chemicals are recovered in the kraft pulp process. The industrial formed green liquor contains a solid, non-solvable phase, called green liquor dregs and are removed either by filtration, or by sedimentation. This work compares separation properties of green liquor produced in a gasifier unit with green liquor produced in a recovery boiler. The two types of green liquors were found to have almost similar separation properties with respect to both sedimentation and filtration. For filtration, the average specific filtration resistance was about 1012 m/kg at 1 bar filtration pressure.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within the Swedish educational system improved student learning, teaching quality and organizational development has been the focus of attention for many years (OECD, 2015; Gorard 2010; Seidel & Shavelson 2007;). And many of the improvement initiatives have aimed at increasing learning and teaching quality by demanding more transparency and accountability (Everson 2016; Harris & Gorard 2015). To fulfill these requirements some of the solutions have been to implement and use digital management control systems (dMCS’) (such as unikum, schoolsoft, canvas, urkund, incident-reportingsystems and many more) to support follow-ups, decision-making, evaluations and actions in schools (Perry 2016; Leckie & Goldstein 2017). Subsequently are now teachers and principals required to collect, analyze and evaluate large amounts of performance data in dPMS’ to inform teaching and report achievements (DfE 2018).Based on sociology and organizational research, it is known that the use of dPMS’ and performance measures will have unintended consequences (Ashton, 1976; Franco-Santos & Otley,2018 ; Ferreira & Otley 2009). Some of these consequences will be positive e.g. increased focus and attention; others will be undesirable e.g. measure fixation, bias, manipulation of data, ‘window dressing’, and stress amongst teachers and principals (Jones, et al., 2017).The core idea for this paper emerges from the outcomes in a pilot study (Mauléon & Spante, 2015) showing how the use of an dPMS’ (a digital incident reporting system) at a primaryschool had adverse effects for the students being subjected to the dPMS’ and the teachers having to comply with it. It is also based on studies conducted in the US showing how groups of students such as African American, Hispanic and native American boys are disproportionately reported in dPMS’ due to the way in which teachers and principals enact (Weick, 1995) the systems. Over time, the digitally recorded information stigmatizes these particular students potentially affecting their futures (Anfinson et al., 2010).This paper will present further empirical examples from the Swedish educational system of how well intended solutions end up having not only unintended but even negative consequences for students and teachers. We may call these unintentional social side effects, which due to the interpretation and use of the digital management control systems within the educational setting may affect them for years to come. The aim of our paper is thus to investigate the dark side of the use of digital management control systems within the Swedish educational system.

On digital management performance systems, performance measures and unintended consequence in the Swedish educational setting : Presenting an alternative framework for investigating technology- in-use
- 2022

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- SummaryImproved student learning, teaching quality and organizational development has been the center of attention within the Swedish educational system for many years (OECD, 2015; Gorard 2010; Seidel & Shavelson 2007;). Numerous improvement initiatives based upon neoliberal ideas exemplified in New Public Management (NPM) have been implemented. Goals and practices are increasingly linked to centrally imposed performance measures often coupled to detailed, centrally imposed national curriculums, policies and processes (Herr, 2015). Digital performance management systems (dPMS) and performance measures often play a key role in this transformation process as the use of them, under certain contextual conditions, will support these new reforms (Herr and Anderson , 2015; Gillies, 2011; Ball, 2001).Through a review of previous research of digitalization of Swedish schools, research of technology-in-use and glimpses into some empirical examples this paper aims to present an alternative framework exploring ‘the darks sides’ of the use of dPMS and performance measures and to investigate how well intended solutions may end up in unintended consequences - and for who. We can call these unintentional social side effects, which due to the interpretation and use of the dPMS’s and performance measures within the educational setting may have unknown and even adverse effects on both individual, organizational and societal levels.
