In this paper, a study on the design and development of functional shoe linings that are thermally comfortable is presented. The comfort of foot wear, in this case, trekking boots, that is perceived by the user greatly depends on the ability of the boot to maintain the foot surface in an equilibrium state in terms of thermo-physiological comfort (Schols et al., 2004).

Diversos estudos publicados (Wilkinson e Dale, 1999; Wright, 2000; Renzi e Capelli, 2000; Karapetrovic, 2003; Poksinska et al., 2003; Karapetrovic e Jonker, 2003; Zu...
Holistic approach to management, fullfilling all the stakeholders’ requirements, characterizes management systems (MS) integration. Other distinctive features are the interactions enhancement between several sub-systems and the hiper-technological context where it develops. All these characteristics mimic a sociological, cultural, political, artistical and intellectual era: Renaissance. Taking into account the ...
The integration of management systems, to be effective, requires several organisational features. An integrating concept enabling a common language, a proactive approach, a holistic vision, sustainable objectives and consistence and coherence on action are among those features.
