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:

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:

Clothing performs not only the typical protective and utilitarian functions, but also becomes a means of communication. This position is particularly evident in garment with inscriptions and prints. The growing popularity of such textile fabrics causes the study of the typology of inscriptions on clothing from a linguistic standpoint. The purpose of the work is to determine the main approaches to the study of inscriptions on clothing in modern science in general and linguistics in particular. It has been determined that within the framework of linguistics, inscriptions on clothing are considered in the context of the communicative-pragmatic paradigm. However, there is no unified approach to the interpretation of this linguistic phenomenon, some researchers define it as a separate genre or subgenre of a particular discourse, others – as a new type of media. As a result of the study, it has been established that inscriptions on clothing are characterized by certain linguistic features (use of abbreviations and numbers, prevalence of simple sentences and elliptical constructions, use of colloquialisms, youth slang and puns, specific style of writing, use of imperatives and intertextuality) and perform various functions (communicative, regulatory, informative-representative, expressive-pragmatic, epistemological, aesthetic). Though most modern linguists agree that inscriptions on clothing function as a means of communication, the problems of using the appropriate term (inscription, slogan, message) and studying inscriptions not only on T-shirts, but also on other types of clothing remain unsolved.

Abstract:

To investigate the role of body shape information on clothing size selection, a sample of 143 males were measured and sized using a computerized digital-image based measurement system. Clothing sizes were initially determined by the system using traditional criteria for the long sleeve shirt, jacket and trousers of a military dress uniform. The best-fitting size was determined by trial and error based on subjective feedback and expert judgement, provided by clothing and sizing technicians. Discriminant function analysis was used to determine sizing rules for each garment, based on different sets of anthropometric input variables. Comparisons were made between the prediction performances of discriminant functions derived from traditional variables and those of functions derived from 3D landmark coordinates. The results indicate that the use of three-dimensional landmark coordinates, as input to a discriminant function analysis, is superior to the use of circumference measurements in predicting clothing sizes. The use of these landmarks is thought to improve the classification of cases by allowing a better characterization of body shape.

Abstract:

Fashion style refers to the way of wearing certain categories of clothing related to the concept of taste that refers to a person’s preferences or tendencies towards a particular style. In Indonesia, clothing does not only function as a body covering but also as a person’s style. One way is to use traditional cloth is by wearing batik.Batik clothing, which initially took the form of non -sewn cloth, such as a long cloth, became a sewn cloth like a sarong that functions as a subordinate, evolved with the changing fashion trends prevailing in Indonesia. At the beginning of the development of batik in Indonesia, in the 18th century, batik as a women’s main clothing was limited to the form of kain panjang and sarong. However, in the following century, the use of batik clothing became increasingly diverse as material for dresses, tunics, and blouses.This research uses a historical approach in observing batik fashion by utilizing documentation of fashion magazines and women’s magazines in Indonesia. The change and diversity of batik clothing in Indonesian women’s clothing styles are influenced by changes and developments in the role of Indonesian women themselves, ranging from those that are only doing domestic activities, but also going to school, and working in the public. However, fashion trend factors are also a parameter of change in batik clothing, which result in adaptive and flexible batik clothing.

Abstract:

A Genetic Algorithm-Back Propagation (GA-BP) neural network method has been proposed to predict the clothing pressure of girdles in different postures. Firstly, a Back Propagation (BP) neural network model was used to predict the clothing pressure based on seven parameters, and three optimal functions of the model were derived. However, the prediction error 0.85411 of the network was more than the forecast requirement of 0.5 and the optimal initial weights and thresholds for the network could not be calculated. Therefore, a GA model and the BP neural network model were combined into a new GA-BP neural network model, which was used to predict the clothing pressure based on the three optimal functions. The results showed that the prediction error for this GA-BP neural network model was 0.41652, which was less than the forecast requirement of 0.5. Hence, the model was shown to predict the girdle pressure with acceptable accuracy. Finally, the internal calculation function equation for the GA-BP neural network was derived.

The purpose of this study is to understand and identify the composition of Rejang Pedawa dance attire and the meaning and function of Rejang Pedawa dance outfit. Rejang Pedawa dance fashion is the same as Rejang dance clothing in general but the difference is at the top that uses ungar and sekar spurs made from pelendo that take the form of flowers and tails of peacocks, and the use of traditional Balinese cloth in almost all of the Pedawa rejang clothing. From the functions and meanings it can be concluded that the Rejang Pedawa dance takes a beautiful form because it is indeed the function of the Rejang Pedawa dance to entertain Bhatara Bhatari who is led to descend to Earth during the Pujawali Saba Pedawa Village ceremony. The meaning of Rejang Pedawa's clothing still maintains the fashion that they received from their ancestral heritage. Traditional dance prioritizes a sense of devotion, so it does not take into account too much of the clothing worn.

Abstract:

The generation of overall wrinkles on garment surfaces can be achieved by either introducing accurate cloth models with full collision response or by providing geometric wrinkle functions. Small wrinkles such as rippled appearance along seam lines have not been fully studied. Boundaries between different panels are often excluded from most garment draping simulations resulting in unrealistic appearance. This paper describes a new method to model realistic wrinkles on clothes via seams. The proposed seam model of tension pucker is simple and is easy to incorporate into a mass spring model with improvements over wrinkled appearance. We present a method that automatically constructs a seam surface along an arbitrary path on the surface of an irregular mesh. As an extension of modeling of seam pucker, we also apply the seam model to 3D garments.

Abstract:

Using a sample of 321 textile and clothing companies for the years 1992 to 2010, this paper analyses the effect of quota phase-outs on firm-level efficiency in Pakistan following the end of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA). It highlights sectoral heterogeneity within the manufacturing industry as a result of MFA expiration. The empirical methodology uses the structural techniques proposed by Olley and Pakes (1996), and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) in order to take care of endogeneity in the estimation of production functions. The results differ for the two industries: MFA expiration lead to an increase in the average productivity of textile producing firms but a significant reduction in the mean productivity of clothing producers. We offer a number of explanations for this outcome, such as a change in the input and product mix, entry by non-exporters in the clothing sector, and sectoral differences in quality ladders. A number of crucial policy lessons can be drawn from the findings of this study.

Abstract:

Silhouette-based gait representations are widely used in the current gait recognition community due to their effectiveness and efficiency, but they are subject to changes in covariate conditions such as clothing and carrying status. Therefore, we propose a gait energy response function (GERF) that transforms a gait energy (i.e., an intensity value) of a silhouette-based gait feature into a value more suitable for handling these covariate conditions. Additionally, since the discrimination capability of gait energies, as well as the degree to which they are affected by the covariate conditions, differs among body parts, we extend the GERF framework to spatially dependent GERF (SD-GERF) which accounts for spatial dependence. Moreover, the proposed GERFs are represented as a vector in the transformation lookup table and are optimized through an efficient generalized eigenvalue problem in a closed form. Finally, two post-processing techniques, Gabor filtering and spatial metric learning, are employed for the transformed gait features to boost the accuracy. Experimental results with three publicly available datasets including clothing and carrying status variations show the state-of-the-art performance of the proposed method compared with other state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:

The centre of clothing distro and skatepark are buildings that are included in commercial and business functions. The centre of clothing distro is community of several clothing brands that have their own distro. The function of distro is to display and sell their products. Various concepts and idealism are offer from every clothing brands. Some concepts are offer such as music, skateboarding, custom motorbikes, surfing, tropics, and other concepts. The concepts of the brand will affect the interior concept that will applicated. The goal is to provide the identity and characteristics of distro, so that attract consumers to come and buy some products. The industrial concept interior is very suitable to be apply in a dis-tro. The material in industrial concept shows natural impression of material such as expose bricks, concrete, floor and some finishing marerials while still displaying the original texture. This makes the industrial concepts more affordable but requires high creativity, so that it is suitable to be apply in a distro. This concept will give a masculine impression, rough but still comfortable. The collaboration of the industrial concept with the concept with the concept of clothing brand can be apply by adding some decoration and artwork that related with the concept.

Abstract:

The world trend of increase in the senior citizen population has become increasingly more pronounced. Closer attention and greater effort in managing the associated issues are thus more pressing. Furthermore, all of us will turn into old age sooner or later. It is to the benefit of everyone to continuously examine the improvement in the welfare of the elderly. We have explored the smart clothing with silk prospect for the senior citizen. We have stressed comfort, safety, and convenience in our work. Some rooms have been reserved for further expansion to add on more appropriate functions and for elimination of the outdated. Helpful systems approaches with the combination of both "top-down" and "bottom-up" route have been used for the investigation. Biomimetics, i.e. helpful lessons or inspiration from Mother Nature is applied whenever appropriate to improve the potential of our smart clothing. Attractive features of modern silk including light weight, low thermal conductivity, good absorbency, low wrinkle, strong, bio-compatible and bio-degradable will be tailored into the smart clothing for better functions. More medical assistance issues including the potential of working as a second skin will also be explores. It is our hope that our total effort will help the elderly to live a better life physically, physiologically, and psychologically. Introduction The world trend of increase in the senior citizen population has become increasingly more pronounced. Closer attention and greater effort in managing the associated issues are thus more pressing. Furthermore, all of us will turn into seniors sooner or later. It is to the benefit of everyone to continuously examine the improvement in the welfare of the elderly. Clothing is one of the closest contacts with our body. There are many interactions between our body and the cloth we wear. It is of particular importance to deal with such issues in senior persons as the aging process may have progressively deteriorated some of their vital functions. Clothing with the proper intelligence will be more feasible to meet the challenge. We have explored the smart clothing with silk prospect for the senior citizen. Our approaches As we are becoming older in old ages, most of us will experience some physical and psychological deterioration that will affect our daily life. Some may become slower in responses. Others may have a fading memory. Some may have a physical issue of balancing themselves. Some may have hygiene issues such as unpleasant odor, incontinence. Some elderly may generate constant anxiety including worrying with or without causes. There may be insecure feeling towards many real or imaginary issues in life also.

Abstract:

For over 2,000 years traditional Korean women divers have dived with little clothing, subjecting themselves daily to a severe cold stress that has caused alterations of several thermoregulatory functions. Since 1977 these divers have used wet suits that have eliminated the cold-water stress, and by 1982 their thermoregulatory functions had returned completely to control levels. This indicates that the traditional divers indeed developed cold acclimatization, a phenomenon that has been difficult to document in humans.

Abstract:

A bra use can reduce physiological and physical functions because of clothing pressure, which can be a problem for new senior women starting to lose physical function. The present study presents a bra top design development method for promoting new senior women’s physical activity by identifying problems related to bras’ effects on women’s health and minimizing clothing pressure. The analysis utilized the 3D scan data of 42 adult women (age range: 50s) from the 5th Size Korea Project. Bra top design elements were extracted based on new senior consumers’ needs. We developed an average wireframe reflecting the new senior’s physical characteristics, and a standard body form was developed through surface modeling. To produce a consumer-oriented bra with a body shaping effect and reduced clothing pressure that would not affect physical activities, a three-dimensional pattern was developed applying an optimal reduction rate of 80%. To verify the bra’s adequacy for the body form of new senior women, two market-available bras were selected and fit-compared to the developed product. The developed bra received higher expert appearance evaluation and 3D virtual clothing evaluation scores. This study is significant because by using virtual fitting technology, it provides foundational data to quantify the quality of fashion products.

Abstract:

Clothing and fashion allow the multiplication of multiple personalities into one human being. The tendency to be "someone else", even if it is only with some detail in the clothes, is based on the possibility of transformation of the individual. That transformation is done by masking man, more precisely, the aspiration of one person to transform at least for a short period of time. The possibilities offered by fashion, that a person can be someone else with the help of clothes, cosmetics or make-up are really great. One of the most important functions of clothing and apparel is to achieve a sense of spiritual balance. In fact, with the help of clothing, certain shortcomings of a person are compensated and, in that way, a certain psychological balance is achieved. The extent to which following fashion reduces the feeling of inferiority is seen in the fact that in most countries fashion is most closely followed by young people and immigrants, because it seems to them that dressing according to the latest fashion equals them with others.

Abstract:

As high polymer materials, textile materials are easily to be carbonized and then disappear, so it is almost impossible to study the origin of it from physical evidence. Based on the objective historical facts, through analysis and inference, the paper believed that textile materials, as soft materials, are better than stone tools in the aspects of obtaining, making, functions and uses. Two hypotheses about the origin of textile materials are proposed. The first is that textile materials originate from tools, and the origin time of it is not later than stone tools. The second is that signs and clothing application of textile materials both evolve from its usage as tools, so the origin sequence of textile materials is tools, signs, and clothing.

Abstract:

In this study, we proposed an intelligent health monitoring system based on smart clothing. The system consisted of smart clothing and sensing component, care institution control platform, and mobile device. The smart clothing is a wearable device for electrocardiography signal collection and heart rate monitoring. The system integrated our proposed fast empirical mode decomposition algorithm for electrocardiography denoising and hidden Markov model–based algorithm for fall detection. Eight kinds of services were provided by the system, including surveillance of signs of life, tracking of physiological functions, monitoring of the activity field, anti-lost, fall detection, emergency call for help, device wearing detection, and device low battery warning. The performance of fast empirical mode decomposition and hidden Markov model were evaluated by experiment I (fast empirical mode decomposition evaluation) and experiment II (fall detection), respectively. The accuracy and sensitivity of R-peak detection using fast empirical mode decomposition were 96.46% and 98.75%, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of fall detection using hidden Markov model were 97.92%, 90.00%, and 99.50%, respectively. The system was evaluated in an elderly long-term care institution in Taiwan. The results of the satisfaction survey showed that both the caregivers and the elders are willing to use the proposed intelligent health monitoring system. The proposed system may be used for long-term health monitoring.

Abstract:

Offline stores are seriously challenged by online shops. To attract more customers to compete with online shops, the patterns of customer flows and their influence factors are important knowledge. To address this issue, we collected indoor positioning data of 534,641 and 59,160 customers in two shopping malls (i.e., Dayuecheng (DYC) in Beijing and Longhu (LH) in Chongqing, China) for one week, respectively. The temporal patterns of the customer flows show that (1) total customer flows are high on weekends and low midweek and (2) peak hourly flow is related to mealtimes for LH and only on weekdays for DYC. The difference in temporal patterns between the two malls may be attributed to the difference in their locations. The customer flows to stores reveal that the customer flows to clothing, food and general stores are the highest; specifically, in DYC, the order is clothing, food and general, while in LH, it is food, clothing and general. To identify the factors influencing customer flow, we applied linear regression to the inflow density of stores (customers per square meter) of two major classes (clothing and food stores), with 10 locational and social factors as independent variables. The results indicate that flow density is significantly influenced by store location, visibility (except for food stores in DYC) and reputation. Besides, the difference between the two store classes is that clothing stores are influenced by more convenience factors, including distance to an elevator and distance to the floor center (only for LH). Overall, the two shopping malls demonstrate similar customer flow patterns and influencing factors with some obvious differences also attributed to their layout, functions and locations.

Abstract:

The microbiota inhabiting the intestinal tract provide several critical functions to its host. Microorganisms found at the mucosal layer form organized three-dimensional structures which are considered to be biofilms. Their development and functions are influenced by host factors, host-microbe interactions, and microbe-microbe interactions. These structures can dictate the health of their host by strengthening the natural defenses of the gut epithelium or cause disease by exacerbating underlying conditions. Biofilm communities can also block the establishment of pathogens and prevent infectious diseases. Although these biofilms are important for colonization resistance, new data provide evidence that gut biofilms can act as a reservoir for pathogens such as Clostridioides difficile. In this review, we will look at the biofilms of the intestinal tract, their contribution to health and disease, and the factors influencing their formation. We will then focus on the factors contributing to biofilm formation in C. difficile, how these biofilms are formed, and their properties. In the last section, we will look at how the gut microbiota and the gut biofilm influence C. difficile biofilm formation, persistence, and transmission.

Abstract:

Currently, there are about 80 million people with various types of disability in the European Union, but this number is expected to grow in the coming years, mainly due to the increasing proportion of older citizens. At European Union level, disability is seen as a problem of the whole society. This requires continuous training and adaptation in all spheres of life, for receiving and maintaining these persons in the mainstream of social life, in order to ensure all the facilities. There are powerful incentives for research and innovation in the social field (services for the benefit of people), medical field (diseases whose origin is unknown, customized medical protocols, non-conventional monitoring instruments etc.), or technology field (robotics, informatics, textiles etc.) in an equal manner. An important role is played by the adaptive clothing characterized by comfort, accessibility, safety and style. The paper includes aspects regarding the making of some experimental models of textile elements with electronic functions intended for vital functions monitoring systems.

Abstract:

Clothing pressure is a very important variable in compression garments that is frequently omitted in other studies, despite the possibility of altering the experimental design and results. Most studies focus on testing the effects of released products rather than on how to design them. The aim of this study is to identify methods to increase stability of an extremity by developing compression pants with a design that assigns differential pressurization. CP1 (clothing pressure knee region: 0.95–1.03 kPa), which reinforces the knee joint, and CP2 (clothing pressure knee region: 1.67–2.12 kPa), which reinforces the knee joint and hamstring, are developed. In addition, CCP (clothing pressure knee region: 0.44–0.58 kPa) was developed as a control garment. Seven subjects wearing CP1, CP2, or CCP, performed single-leg landing from 40 cm height, for motion analysis. As a result, the angular velocity of the hip and knee, as well as the knee joint range of motion was increased significantly when CP1 are worn. Therefore, CP1 is efficient in absorbing the energy of the impact, making it much practical in terms of stability. The peak vertical ground reaction force showed little difference when different design of compression pants were tested. Meanwhile, CP2 significantly increases the knee moment. It is important to add that even a subtle manipulation of the level, location, or the method of pressurization significantly changes the stability of joints and the performance of exercise. This research shows that the functions of compression garments differ according to the level of pressurization and differential pressurization.

Abstract:

IntroductionClothing is an important aspect of nearly all human societies from performing social and cultural functions to indicating social status, a form of protection and a way for self-expression. It can help or hinder the ability to fulfil everyday activities and social roles and with the rising industry of wearable technologies, smart textiles are adding health-monitoring functions to clothing. The influence that clothing can have on the life of someone with a physical disability is significant, and further research is needed to understand it better. To achieve this, a scoping review will be performed with the aim of understanding the role of clothing in participation (ie, at home, in the community, etc) of individuals with a physical disability. This article presents the protocol and procedure to be adopted.Methods and analysisAn in-depth iterative analysis of the scientific literature from six databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO and ERIC) as well as a hand search of grey literature and reference lists will be performed. After an abstract and full-text review of references by three reviewers independently, data from the selected articles will be tabulated and synthesised with a qualitative and quantitative approach using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as a unifying conceptual framework. A multidisciplinary consultation group of experts from various stakeholder groups will be involved in multiple steps to ensure validation and relevance of the data.Ethics and disseminationAs this is a review involving analysis of data available in the public domain and does not involve human participants, ethical approval was not required. Results will be presented in a co-constructed format with the expert consultation group to ensure validity and maximise its practicality moving forward. Our dissemination plan includes peer-reviewed publications, presentations and stakeholder meetings.
