Abstract:

Outdoor thermal comfort holds a pivotal role in the functionality of urban open spaces with these areas contributing significantly to thermal comfort and thereby elevating the overall quality of city life. The influence of thermal comforts on the built environment impacts outdoor activities and may contribute to the decline of environmental quality, posing a complex challenge. Consequently, there is a growing emphasis on outdoor thermal comfort studies, recognizing it as a multifaceted issue shaped by various factors. These factors encompass both direct and indirect influences, such as physica

Abstract:

The study specifies the sports clothing wearer comfort requirements for sportswear. Two essential components of comfort are considered – physiological and physical comfort. Comfort level for non-professional sportswear has been determined analysing the thermophysiological comfort, as well as the level of physical comfort. The research resulted in development of the algorithm for prediction of physiological and physical comfort in sportswear. The athlete’s thermophysiological comfort is predicted by measuring experimentally the thermal resistance and water-vapour resistance for specimens of fab

Abstract:

Although physical comfort is a self-evidently important goal in interior design projects, whose definition is usually assumed to be obvious and straightforward (a measurable outcome of the interaction of material and anatomical variables), in practice comfort has proven itself one of the most mysterious of human spatial possibilities. Comfort has radically shifted its meanings across historical epochs and across cultures. Rather than a simple and quantifiable spatial reality, comfort should be understood as a malleable social ideology – comfort as the unstable consequence of cultural ideas abo

Abstract:

Earplugs are commonly used to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, but their efficacy is often hindered by discomfort, impacting consistent and correct use. Comfort of earplugs can be comprehended through four dimensions: physical (related to biomechanical and thermal interactions with the earcanal), acoustical (linked to noise perception), functional (including usability and efficiency) and psychological (related to well-being and satisfaction). The evaluation of (dis)comfort involves intricate interactions among components of a triad formed by the user, the earplug, and the work environment.

Abstract:

The notion of comfort with respect to rides, such as roller coasters, is typically addressed from the perspective of a physical ride, where the convenience of transportation is redefined to minimize risk and maximize thrill. As a popular form of entertainment, roller coasters sit at the nexus of rides and games, providing a suitable environment to measure both mental and physical experiences of rider comfort. In this paper, the way risk and comfort affect such experiences is investigated, and the connection between play comfort and ride comfort is explored. A roller coaster ride simulation is

The aging process is characterized by a decline in living abilities that can affect the physical and mental well-being of the elderly. The various problems experienced by the elderly require facilities that provide comfort and interior design that supports their physical and mental health. This study aims to analyze the relationship between physical health, psychological health, and space comfort in improving the quality of life of the elderly at the Elderly School of Happy Culture House (SLRBB) in Depok City. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques thr

Abstract:

Aim: This study examines the effects of urban public spaces, which have physical environmental elements (heat, light, sound, etc.) that vary according to seasons and time of day, on the environmental assessments and quality of life of city residents. Objectively and subjectively investigating the combined effects of such multiple physical environmental elements on people's environmental perception and thermal, auditory, visual and general comfort can make significant contributions to the design and application fields.

Abstract:

A framework-based testing approach was employed to evaluate the comfort performance of a plus-size caesarean undergarment design for plus-size caesarean patients in Malaysia. A paired sample t-test was conducted to compare comfort performance across three comfort indicators: clothing comfort, physical comfort, and psychological comfort, at two-time points. The results showed a mean comfort score of 4.48 in the first hour and 4.61 in the fourth hour, indicating a significant improvement in comfort. The statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (Sig. 2-tailed), suggesting a highly signifi

Abstract:

Exoskeletons and exosuits (exos) are wearable devices that physically assist movement. User comfort is critically important for societal adoption of exos. Thermal comfort (a person’s satisfaction with their thermal environment) represents a key design challenge. Exos must physically attach/interface to the body to apply forces, and these interfaces inevitably trap some heat. It is envisioned that thermal comfort could be improved by designing mode-switching exo interfaces that temporarily loosen around a body segment when assistive forces are not being applied. To inform exo design, a case ser

Abstract:

Electroencephalography method was used to evaluate clothing tactile comfort. Physical properties, such as compression, surface and heavy performance, were studied by objective and subjective evaluation. Electroencephalography data were analyzed by Curry 7 and EEGLAB. The results showed that P3 wave could be utilized to evaluate the surface roughness of clothing. When the subjects came into contact with smoother fabric, the latency of P3 wave was shorter and its amplitude was smaller.

Abstract:

We aim to investigate nurses’ feelings of comfort or discomfort with three different types of touch: task-oriented contact, touch promoting physical comfort, and touch providing emotional containment. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 198 nurses. We present results of multiple regression analysis identifying some antecedents of nurses’ feelings of comfort with touch, namely, attachment style, worry, gender, and length of service. Worry is negatively associated with task-oriented contact and touch promoting physical comfort. Attachment security and length of service are associated

Indoor environmental comfort is closely related to human health and well-being. This study aimed to establish a quantitative evaluation model for indoor comprehensive environmental comfort based on multiple physical environmental parameters. Firstly, based on the subjective evaluation characteristics of indoor environmental comfort and the principles of a multi-factor comprehensive evaluation, a comprehensive environmental comfort evaluation method utilizing the utility function approach was proposed.

However, there is lack of work on thermo-physiological comfort ofknitted fabric. Hence the present study is conducted to fulfill this gap by analyzing physiological comfortin sense of air permeability, absorbency, vertical wicking and drying time of plain knitted fabric. Clothingcomfort is mainly affected by type of fibres, yarn properties, structure of fabric, finishing treatments, andclothing conditions.

Introduction. The challenges of placing virtual objects in a real-world environment limit the potential of augmented reality (AR) technology. This situation identifies a gap in scientific knowledge that requires additional research. Therefore, the main task of this study was to develop a method for optimal placement of virtual objects, in which the objective function of comfort was minimized. This approach is aimed at improving AR systems and developing the corresponding theory.Materials and Methods.

In this paper, the authors describe a scenario of three insole materials: flank leather, cellulose material and composite leather. Quantitative research was done using five upper materials: calfskin full and top grain leather, “buffalo” bovine leather, a soft type of grain leather, and aniline veal skin type “cool”.

This study investigated the hypothesis that excessive physical comfort adversely affects mood states generally associated with superior mental performance. This hypothesis was explored in an experiment on office chairs. Eleven subjects evaluated three chair designs varying in comfort for eight hours on three separate days. The subjects performed a word processing task from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Comfort and discomfort were evaluated using the Shackel Scale and the Corlett Scale. Mood states were evaluated using a mood profile survey. The results suggested that the most comfortable chair induced ment
