Abstract:
Carnival clothing is one form of artists’ creativities in fine art, created in various functions. Those functions are viewed based on utility value and the purpose that consistently are embedded in an art work. In addition, several functions of carnival clothing were constructed on the basis of social and cultural conditions that are effective in a certain place. Each and every type of clothing raises perception to everyone else who sees it. Promotion of fashion style and industry through carnival clothing results in diverse perceptions acceptable to the viewers. Audience’s perceptions are also not apart from the key functions, social ones, and the physical ones of those carnival clothings themselves. Those three functions are the common ones of each art work created as communication tool with everyone else. The carnival clothings are communication tools of the fashion designer to the customers, communication between one customer and another one. On the carnival clothing there are also sources of knowledge science, history, technology, and many other explainable meanings. Through carnival clothings, the detectable issues in physical and non-physical structures are identifiable as well as they play role as the space to make more exploration on the dynamics of a community culture. This article aims to answer the functions of carnival clothing, using aesthetic approach, through the theory of clothing functions Roland Barthes and Edmund Burke Feldman’s art functions.

Abstract:
This article is written based on the author’s field ethnographic material with the involvement of the corresponding literary works on this issue. The article is devoted to the ecological functions of traditional men’s clothing of the peoples of Nagorny Dagestan (the Avars, the Laks, the Dargins). The main purpose of the article is to describe the traditional men’s clothing of the mountaineers of Dagestan, the environmental functions of which were reduced to the regulation of direct heat exchange between the human body and the environment, as the formation of special features of material culture, including clothing, was influenced by natural-geographical factors. The specific features of the traditional men’s clothing of the peoples of Nagorny Dagestan were determined by seasons: depending on the time of year, the specific composition of clothing and the material of manufacture varied.When writing the article, general scientific methods were used: (analysis, synthesis, induction), which allows to consider the role and place of men’s clothing of the mountaineers of Dagestan, to show in it the general and particular in connection with various conditions (social-ecological, ethnographic, ecological) of development of certain Dagestan regions. At the same time, the method of logical research, the task of which is to reveal the role played by individual elements of the system as part of the whole, has become important for this work. Together with general scientific methods, private research methods are used: the detection of the specific, descriptive method, etc.The study resulted in a coherent picture of the varieties of men’s clothing. The author presents them as separate complexes in accordance with seasons, which allows demonstrating the ecological functions of men’s clothing. The field of application of the research results is determined by the possibility of using them in the further study of the ethnography of Dagestan and the Caucasus. The scope of the research results is determined by the possibility of their use in further study of the ethnography of Dagestan and the Caucasus.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to show the principles of nonverbal communication achieved with clothing by using Roman Jakobson’s linguistic method. As demonstrated and established here, clothes and their functions can be translated into verbal and written language. The language of fashion, costume and stage design can be analysed in terms of their function and symbolism. Based on the language function scheme, clothing can be interpreted as the language of communication and as a system. Using purely linguistic methods, examples of various clothing analyses demonstrate the clothing function as a visual sign system, which is equal to the linguistic sign system, language and communication. Different kinds of communication can be achieved through garments, as explained by the examples and discussion selected and described.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how muscle function is affected by cold environments in persons wearing cold protective clothing for the mining industry when performing work-related tasks. 15 subjects were exposed to a low temperature (-15°C) and a moderate temperature (5°C). Protective clothing was similar during both environmental conditions. The subjects performed a total of five test periods and four work periods. A test period consisted of dynamic wrist flexion and maximal voluntary contractions for wrist flexion, elbow flexion and shoulder abduction. Work periods consisted of three tasks; 1) arms above head, 2) arms at hip height and 3) lifting dumbbells of the floor and onto a case. Cold exposure led to lower skin temperatures and higher muscle activity in the wrist flexors during the work period compared to 5°C. In addition, we observed a reduced amount of local oxygenation in the wrist flexors in the cold. In conclusion, cold exposure reduced skin temperatures, which further led to minor negative effect on muscle function.

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Design in the Faculty of Informatics and Design at Cape Peninsula University of Technology
This study highlights the preliminary findings of an investigation into ergonomic considerations in the design of women’s protective clothing. The study investigates the validity of an assumption that there is a dearth in the product offerings of women’s protective wear that are ergonomically designed with a good fit, and offer acceptable levels of comfort for women performing outdoors in the construction industry. The research employs a qualitative research method – including interviews with key actors such as women working in the construction industry, and manufacturers. Pertinent psychological and physiological factors relating to the current protective wear are also interrogated herein. For example, the unique morphological features associated with steatopygia and gynaeoid body types are common in the sub-region, and yet not fully accommodated in the design of contextresponsive work wear. The prevailing attitudes among selected manufacturers and suppliers to motivate them to offer superior products for women in the construction industry are explored. A higher adoption rate of the redesigned women’s protective wear could correlate to reductions in downtime associated with general occupational health and safety issues; as well as an impact of low levels of comfort, protection and garment fit. Similarly, the redesigned garments could inform the development of improved protective wear for women, and ultimately facilitate higher productivity in the work environment. Subsequently, a boosted self-confidence and higher levels of motivation occasioned by a positive body image of women workers would validate the efficacy of the intended ergonomic design intervention. Lastly, the thesis discusses sociotechnical strategies for generating high fidelity data for applications in new product development for women’s protective wear. Furthermore, the findings and recommendations are discussed herein; this is made possible by the data collected.

Abstract:
To study what stereotypes exist regarding psychologists by the general public and determine whether and how this affects hiring preferences, 114 undergraduate business and non-business students at a large southwestern university were asked to participate. The Gough Adjective Check List was administered to determine what stereotypes are held by persons regarding psychologists. A study of visual perception/stereotype and hiring preference as a function of attire was also conducted. Three dress styles were used as stimuli. It was hypothesized that the groups would differ in their stereotypes of psychologists both cognitively and visually. There were no significant differences between the groups as a function of college major. However, a main effect for dress style was found. Possible explanations of findings are discussed.

Abstract:
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att ta reda på vilka faktorer och risker som påverkar köpbeslutet för en konsument gällande en ny innovativ produkt. Uppsatsen kan på så sätt bidra med kunskap och förståelse för företag som vill utveckla den här typen av produkter. Studiens inriktning och syfte togs fram i samarbete med textilföretaget FOV Fabrics. Med utgångspunkt ur syftet och problemet genomfördes en enkätundersökning som kompletterades med semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fyra av enkätrespondenterna. Resultatet av enkätundersökningen analyserades och jämfördes med resultatet av intervjuerna. Enkät- och intervjurespondenterna delades in i två grupper, adoptörer och icke-adoptörer, baserat på om de valt att adoptera produkten i fråga eller ej. Grupperna analyserades och jämfördes för att få en förståelse för varför konsumenter adopterar nya produkter och varför vissa inte gör det. Studien visade att adoptering av nya produkter inte kan göras konkret för produkter överlag, då processen skiljer sig bland produktkategorier. Den här studien visar endast hur köpbeslutsprocessen för specifikt en skjorta i funktionsmaterial kan gå till, vilket även kan gälla för andra plagg med samma material men inte för andra produktkategorier. Studien visade på att adoptörer, bestående av innovators och early adopters, är främst mottagliga för nya innovationer. De består av tekniska, funktionsorienterade individer. Förutom funktionerna skjortan erbjuder (vattenavvisande, smutsavvisande, strykfri, antibakteriell) värderar de passform, komfort och design i ett plagg. Det är innovatörerna som bör adoptera produkten för att produkten ska kunna accepteras av majoriteten av konsumenterna. För att en adoption ska kunna ske av mer skeptiska konsumenter är det viktigt med tillförlitlighet och ett varumärke konsumenten kan lita på, om inte informationen och kunskapen om produkten är tillräcklig.
The purpose of this paper is to find the different factors and risks that affect the buying decision for a consumer when being faced with an innovative product. The study can contribute with knowledge and an understanding for companies that are looking to develop this type of products. The focus and purpose was developed in cooperation with the textile company FOV Fabrics. With the purpose and the problematics as a basis, a survey was completed alongside semi-structured interviews with four of the respondents from the survey. The result from the survey was analyzed and compared with the results from the interviews. All of the respondents were divided into two groups, adopters and non-adopters, based on if they wanted to adopt the product in question or not. The two groups were analyzed and compared to reach an understanding to why consumers choose to adopt new products and why some of them do not. The study showed that adoption of new products is not something that can be defined for all products, as the process differentiates between product categories. This study only shows what the buying decision process looks like for a shirt made of functional material, which can be translated to another garment with the same material, but not through other product categories. The study also showed that the adopters are consisting of innovators and early adopters, which are most receptive to new innovations. They are technical, function- oriented individuals. Besides the functions in the shirt (water repellant, stain resistant, non-iron, anti-bacterial) they value fit, comfort and design in garments. The innovators should adopt the product so it can be accepted by the majority of the consumers later on. To achieve an adoption by the skeptical consumers, reliability is an important factor and a brand that the consumer can trust, if the knowledge and information about the product is not sufficient enough. Please note that the paper is written in Swedish.

Abstract:
Uppsatsen beskriver vidareutveckling av en längdskidåkningsjacka till en värmande, mer multi- funktionell jacka med avslappnad passform, i samarbete med ett svenskt konfektionsföretag specialiserat på längdskidåkning. I uppdraget ingick att undersöka hur användningsområdet kan breddas utan att jackans funktion vid längdskidåkning försämras. En kravspecifikation utformades med hänsyn till synpunkter från utövare och återförsäljare samt produktionsmässiga förutsättningar. Arbetsprocessen dokumenterades och förankrades i vetenskaplig litteratur och resultatet validerades genom framtagning av en herrjacka som möter de framtagna kriterierna. Ett funktionellt plagg måste framför allt ha riktigt bra passform och komfort; specialiserade finesser kan bli störningsmoment för den som inte behöver dem. Funktionskläder för sport, träning och friluftsliv måste ofta uppfylla höga och motsägelsefulla krav; det kan krävas extrem rörelsefrihet, hög slitstyrka men låg vikt, väderskydd men effektiv ventilation under intensiv ansträngning. Högpulsaktivitet i vinterklimat ställer särskilda krav på klädsystemets temperaturreglerings- förmåga och rörelsefrihet; båda är avgörande för såväl komfort som prestation. Litteratur- översikten behandlar därför termisk och ergonomisk komfort, mönsterkonstruktion för rörlighet, passformsutvärdering, och beräkning av viddtillägg. Jag diskuterar även behoven av konstruktionsunderlag applicerbara på funktionsplagg, systematisering av passforms- utvärdering, och preciserad terminologi. Idag krävs ofta många prototyper för att uppnå god passform, komfort och funktionalitet; denna tidskrävande och kostsamma process bör kunna effektiviseras genom dokumentation och metodstandardisering.
This bachelor’s thesis describes the development of a cross-country skiing jacket for a Swedish niche brand. The assignment required investigation of possibilities to diversify the garment’s usage range while maintaining functionality for the original target group. The concept is a warm, multifunctional men’s jacket in a relaxed fit, complementing the present collection. Market research and literature studies were used to clarify user needs, retailer requests and production constraints. Functional requirements for sportswear are tough and often contradictory: high durability at low weight, weatherproof yet breathable. It is essential, both for comfort and performance, that clothing systems for high intensity activities in cold climate have outstanding thermoregulatory properties and mobility; literature on thermal and ergonomic comfort, patternmaking for mobility, fit evaluation and garment ease is reviewed. The results were validated through the production of a sample garment, while striving to document the process methodically. Numerous samples are usually required to achieve good fit, comfort and functionality; this process tends to be especially time-consuming and costly for quality functional clothing. Benefits of consistent documentation and standardized methods are discussed, as well as the lack of precise terminology and of patternmaking texts applicable to functional garments, systematization of fitting, and fit evaluation.

The purpose of this study was to define the hikers in Taipei for the demand of smart clothing functions. The study investigated three dimensions, which were mountaineering hiker demographic variables, hiking experiences, and the low & high hierarchy demands of the smart clothing functions, totally included 33 functions variables. The study collected 360 subjects from hiking tails, jogging trails, and the mountaineering association in Taipei. Each group selected 120 subjects. Sampling periods was April and May in 2006. The method used structured questionnaire by face-to-face interview and then collected data by statistical techniques. Ten questionnaire administrators were trained to make sure how they could interaction with hikers and explain questions about the purpose of this study. The results from this study showed the three important demands of smart clothing functions were “monitoring pulse, monitoring heart rate, and monitoring physician condition reaching danger alarm” and less concerned about “entertainment”.Four function models was “immediately show data”model which was necessary. Based on demographic variables and hiking experience variables, the study applied the cluster analysis to group three types of hiker, which are “young and less experiencing hikers”(YL), “elder and frequently using the hiking trails near the urban areas hikers” (EU) and “elder and frequently using the rural trails hikers” (ER). The significant differences by one-way ANOVA among the three types of hikers were monitoring muscular fitness and flexibility functions, but after Scheffe test, monitoring muscular fitness was still significant. From the discriminant analysis, the findings about discriminant function1 explained 91.40% of variance totally and Wilks’ Lamda was .892(p<0.005) so that the study used CAN1 equation: CAN1 =-0.732*the demand of monitoring muscular fitness +0.396*the demand of providing GPS information +0.352*the demand of deodorization +0.23. Conclusions from this study indicate demands of smart clothing functions among hikers had 3 necessary functions: “monitoring pulse, monitoring heart rate, and monitoring physician condition reaching danger alarm”. These functions all belonged low hierarchy demands. In the light of the character of smart clothing functions from the study, the monitoring muscular fitness, providing GPS information and deodorization functions could clearly distinguish into three types of hikers (YL, EU & ER groups). The study and development of smart clothing was justified by the demands to respond successfully to hikers. According to the result to suggest that related designers and industrial experts make fitting demand functions of smart clothing.

Because functional clothing emphasizes the combination of comfort, function, health and safety, and is suitable for both men, women and children, it has made the consumer community more extensive in recent years, and the changing climate in Taiwan has prompted the functional clothing market to continue to develop and expand. However, most of the related literature in the past discussed issues such as the material, sectional structure, design, and brand marketing of functional clothing. They rarely made specific recommendations for functional clothing products, nor did they combine with real data to make consumers purchase preferences. Therefore, in this study, based on the customer transaction data of functional clothing case companies, a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on item category similarity was used to calculate similar product items and recommendation. Based on this, a specific recommendation mechanism is constructed to provide potential customers with more appropriate products are also expected to be the basis for the industry to develop future marketing strategies.

Abstract:
From the late Sixties on, industrial development in Italy evolved through the spread of small and medium sized firms, aggregated in district networks, with an elevated propensity to enterprise and the marked presence of owner-families. Installed within the local systems, the industrial districts tended to simulate large-scale industry exploiting lower costs generated by factors that were not only economic. The districts are characterised in terms of territorial location (above all the thriving areas of the North-east and Centre) and sector, since they are concentrated in the "4 As" (clothing-fashion, home-decor, agri-foodstuffs, automation-mechanics), with some overlapping with "Made in Italy". How can this model be assessed? This is the crucial question in the debate on the condition and prospects of the Italian productive system between the supporters of its capacity to adapt and the critics of economic dwarfism. A dispassionate judgement suggests that the prospects of "small is beautiful" have been superseded, but that the "declinist" view, that sees only the dangers of globalisation and the IT revolution for our SMEs is risky. The concept of irreversible crisis that prevails at present is limiting, both because it is not easy either to "invent", or to copy, a model of industrialisation, and because there is space for a strategic repositioning of the district enterprises. The book develops considerations in this direction, showing how an evolution of the district model is possible, focusing on: gains in productivity, scope economies (through diversification and expansion of the range of products), flexibility of organisation, capacity to meld tradition and innovation aiming at product quality, dimensional growth of the enterprises, new forms of financing, active presence on the international markets and valorisation of the resources of the territory. It is hence necessary to reactivate the behavioural functions of the entrepreneurs.

Abstract:
Temperature is an important influencer of homeostatic comfort for humans, and its influence extends beyond life-preservation functions into cognitive and emotional effects. To augment metabolic processes in cold climates, many on-body heating solutions are currently available in the commercial market, ranging from chemical heat packs to electrically heated accessories and clothing. These products typically prioritize heating the body core in extreme conditions. By contrast, the experience of thermal comfort in the band around homeostatic comfort temperatures is much more strongly driven by experience of temperature in the body’s periphery: the hands, feet, and face [1]. Thermal sensitivity is highest in the distal extremities and has been established as the best correlate of overall perception of thermal comfort [2], [3]. In the medical context, this is especially significant in treating vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud’s Syndrome, where a spastic vascular response in peripheral vessels results in an over-reaction to cold temperatures proximal to the thermoneutral zone [4].

Abstract:
Physical deformation mechanisms are emerging as compelling and simple ways to adapt radio frequency (RF) characteristics of antennas in contrast to digital steering approaches acting on topologically fixed antennas. Concepts of physical reconfigurability also enable exceptional capabilities such as deployable and morphing antenna arrays that serve multiple functions and permit compact transport with ease. Yet, the emergent concepts lack broad understanding of effective approaches to integrate conformal, electrically conductive architectures with high-compliance foldable frameworks. To explore this essential interface where electrical demands and mechanical requirements may conflict, this research introduces a new class of origami-based tessellated antennas whose RF characteristics are self-tuned by physical reconfiguration of the antenna shape. E-textile materials are used to permit large antenna shape change while maintaining electrical conductivity. Dipole and patch antennas are considered as conventional antenna platforms upon which to innovate with the e-textile origami concept. Multiphysics modeling efforts establish the efficacy of foldable antenna geometries for broad tailoring of the RF characteristics. Experiments with proof-of-concept antennas confirm the large adaptability of wave radiation properties enabled by the reconfiguration of the e-textile origami surfaces. The results suggest that e-textile antennas can be integrated into clothing and mechanical structures, providing a non-invasive way of quantifying deformation for a wide range of applications.

Abstract:
Abstract Digital evaluation of touch-feel in textiles is useful to design fundamental functions of clothing. Here, it is necessary to design textiles for a detailed evaluation of the sensitivity in human’s feelings to consider the life-style creation in various aspects. Then, the objective of this paper is to propose a design method for plain-woven fabrics by touch-feel estimation considering the weaving process with the constitutive relations of yarn. Here, a diagram for control weaving is defined by the diameter of the yarn and displacement quantity of the weaving and the cramping by defining the theoretical thickness. For the effective design to consider various processes, unit-cell of plain-woven structures are fundamentally classified as open set models and closed set models. One of the unit-cell models in the finite element method (FEM) for the plain-woven structure is adopted because the adopted model can consider initial-stress distribution in the weaving process. For touch-feel estimation, an analysis model is constructed by warp, weft, and plungers that cramps the woven structure. A series of diagrams to compress with plungers is shown after constructing a plain-woven structure. As for analyzing the weaving process and the touch-feel estimation in one model, realization of the effective engineering is enabled. This procedure yields that the relationship between the displacement and simulation time suggests for consideration of initial-stress.

Abstract:
Increased permeability of clothing material can reduce the heat load caused by Nuclear-Biological-Chemical (NBC) protective clothing, but implies reduced protection. The goal of the present work is to study the influence of the air permeability on human comfort and safety. A numerical study is presented of the air flow with heat and mass transfer around a cylinder, mimicking a human limb, placed in a turbulent external air flow and surrounded by protective clothing. The problem is described in terms of the relevant dimensionless numbers. The dependence of the flow field underneath the clothing and the heat and mass transfer to the limb are studied as a function of the Reynolds, Darcy and Damko¨hler numbers, which are a measure for the wind speed, clothing permeability and adsorptivity of the poisonous gas, respectively. The air flow simulations are validated with experiments, in which the flow field around a bare cylinder and in the space between a cylinder and its porous cover, is measured with LDA. Scaling rules for heat and mass transfer are presented.
