Full textAbstract:
Millions of tons of textile waste are landfilled or incinerated in the world every year due to insufficient recycle value streams and the complex composition of textile end products. The goal of this review is to highlight pathways for simplifying and separating textile wastes into valuable raw material streams that will promote their recovery and conversion to useful products. The discussion focuses on advances in sorting, separation, decolorization and conversion of polyester and cotton, the two most common textile fibers. Sorting processes are gaining automation using spectroscopic methods that detect chemical composition differences between materials to divide them into categories. Separation, through dissolving or degrading, makes it possible to deconstruct blended textiles and purify polymers, monomers and co-products. Waste cotton can produce high quality regenerated cellulose fibers, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) or biofuels. Waste polyester can produce colored yarns or can be chemically converted to its starting monomers for the recreation of virgin polymer as a complete closed loop. The current strategies for decolorization are presented. Life cycle assessment (LCA) studies found that recycling polyester/cotton blended fabrics for subsequent uses is more sustainable than incineration, and research on producing biomass-based poly-ester also offers feasible avenues for improving textile sustainability and promoting circular processing.

Full textAbstract:
Smart textiles are a class of fabrics that enable digital components like battery and light and electronics to be embedded in them. Smart clothing is of two types, one is aesthetic types and the other is functional types. Aesthetic types are related to light-up and colour changing in nature. Functional classes are related to be used in athletics, extreme sports and military purposes. The health and beauty industry is0 also taking the benefit of the smart clothing while in the use of drug releasing medical textiles, to9 fabric with moisturizer, perfume and anti-ageing properties. Electronics are changing the clothing industry while adding new layers to the very idea of attire. Smart fabrics can sense different environmental conditions. The textiles that have electronics, the clothing acts more like an electronic device rather than just a piece of clothing. The basic materials needed to construct smart textiles are conductive threads and fabrics have been around for 1000 years.

Abstract This paper studied the recycling and the reuse of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) with Source Separation. These practices are commonly utilized in the European Union (EU) and internationally, giving successful recycling and treatment examples mainly for 7 selected - segregated household waste streams: a) paper and cardboard b) plastics, c) metals, d) glass, e) clothing and textiles, f) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and g) Edible Oil Wastes (EOW). Greece implements lower recycling levels, 21%, of the annually produced MSW comparing to the EU. In 2021 the Regional Government of Attica launched a pilot program of rewarding recycling with Source Separation called “THE GREEN CITY”. This program consists of 60 Mobile Green Points (MGPs) that serve a unified citizen awareness and waste collection (7 MSW streams) network throughout Attica. This network includes numerous temporary parking and operation spots for the MGPs. A 56% of them is located next to recreation and green areas, registering at least 70,000 citizens in the program and collecting approximately 400 tons of clean recyclable MSW (April 2022). Therefore, “THE GREEN CITY” program serves the setting target of Directive 2018/851 for at least 55% by weight recycling and reuse of the Greek MSW by 2025.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTHawaiian barkcloth (‘kapa’) is a traditional fabric made from beaten plant fibers. Because of its function in both utilitarian and chiefly ornaments, kapa is intimately tied to the history and traditions of Hawai’i. In the 19th century kapa was gradually replaced with imported textiles and the practice was lost. The traditional methods used to manufacture kapa are now only known from historic descriptions by early missionaries and explorers. Since the 1970s, cultural practitioners began an effort to revive this artform and are experimenting with materials and techniques to reproduce kapa with the quality of historic artifacts.Research has been undertaken at the Bishop Museum using a multi-analytical approach to determine the colorants. The Bishop Museum holds the world’s best collection of kapa, including some of the earliest pieces collected from Cook’s voyage in the 18th century. The research has focused on a comprehensive survey of over 150 pieces of kapa with x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). In some cases, samples were removed and analyzed with UV-Vis-NIR fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and chromatographic techniques, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Scientific results document the use of traditional pigments and dyes as well as the incorporation of imported materials in the 19th century. Results are interpreted by period, design and use, as well as within the context of historic descriptions. An important aspect of this work is close collaboration with cultural practitioners experienced fabrication methods that have been successful in the recreation of kapa. With continued research, the goal is to ultimately gain a greater knowledge of historic materials and techniques for the continuation of this important tradition.

Full textAbstract:
The Trikke codex EBE 1471 preserves a variety of documents, many of which are of interest to historians of material culture. In particular, church inventories, wills, and dowries are especially rich in mentions of different textiles: from the most luxurious cloths of gold to the more modest block-printed cottons. By drawing upon this valuable source, I will offer an as representative as possible compendium of the textiles consumed in the wider Trikke region from the late seventeenth century and on. The great variety of weavings and provenances mentioned in the codex certainly provides ample ground for an analysis of the textile trends prevailing in West Thessaly. Finally, by pairing the textual information with actual remnants this study aims at visualizing the specific period’s eclectic aesthetic and cultural interconnectedness, thereby illuminating its place in the early modern “geography of cloth”, and the dynamics woven within it.

Advancements in wearable technology and smart textiles have also opened new possibilities in the sports and medical fields. One of the examples of a relevant application case can be found in cycling. This paper expands on previous research on stretchable electronics on knit fabrics. It describes the development of stretchable circuits for the lower back position and motion tracking to prevent back pain in recreational (road) cyclists by combining electrical and textile engineering with insights generated in rehabilitation sciences and sports physiotherapy. The research process included developing and testing of the functional circuit integrated into a cycling jersey. Thermoplastic polyurethane films were used for the textile integration process to achieve maximum comfort and after-life disassembly possibility. Reliability tests, e.g. washing (ISO 6330-2012) and tensile tests, were conducted. It is concluded that while mechanical stress during washing cycles remains a serious concern for reliability and durability, the use of water-repellent thermoplastic polyurethane sealing seriously reduces the damage caused by water and detergents.

Full textAbstract:
In the last years the media have highlighted the damage of the ozone layer and the resulting increase of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reaching the earth?s surface. Prolonged and repeated, both occupational and recreational, sun exposure of the population causes some detrimental effects. Clothing is considered to be one of the most important tools for UV protection. It is generally accepted that synthetic fibres provide a high UV protection capability of textiles, while cellulose fibres (cotton, linen, hemp, viscose) have a low UV absorption capacity. However, natural pigments, pectin and waxes in natural cellulose fibers, and lignin in hemp fibers, act as UV absorbers having a favorable effect on UPF of grey-state fabrics. Bearing in mind the trend of reintroduction of hemp fibers as a source of eco-friendly textiles, there is a serious lack of study about the potential of hemp materials in terms of UV protection. Folded yarn is a complex yarn composed of two or more component yarns arranged parallel and twisted together to make a ?new quality? yarn. Folding of yarns is an operation undertaken in order to modify single-yarn properties to an appreciable degree. There are very few investigations concerning the relationship between the yarn properties and UV protection effectiveness of the fabric made there from. In addition, there is no any result in the scientific literature about the influence of yarn folding on UV protection properties of textile materials. Having this in mind, for our research the idea was to evaluate the effect of yarn folding in this regard. The plain knitted fabrics composed of single or two-folded hemp yarn were compared in terms of UV protection properties. The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), as the quantitative measurement of the material effectiveness to protect the human skin against UVR, was determined for the textile materials by in vitro test method according to the European standard EN 13758. The knitted fabrics construction and physical properties were also determined. Bearing in mind that plain knitted fabrics are particularly susceptible to relaxation, they were subjected to relaxation and shrinkage by wetting process, and testing procedure was repeated on the water-treated samples. The results obtained indicated that the folding operation influences UV protection properties of knitted fabrics through an influence on a loop configuration, i.e. the fabric openness. Relaxation and shrinkage of the knitted fabrics due to wet relaxation caused the reduction of macro-porosity increasing the UPF of the knitted fabrics. Although the knitted fabric produced from single hemp yarn was characterized by higher UPF, the UVR transmittance of the folded hemp yarn knitted fabric after wet relaxation placed it in the ?excellent UV protection category? (according to European Standard EN 13758-2). This fact together with the better thermal comfort manifested itself in higher air permeability, confirmed the potential of folding operation in terms of UV protection properties of textile materials.

Resumo: A partir do final do século XIX, surgiram diferentes associações de lazer criadas por operários têxteis do Jardim Botânico - bairro situado na Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro -, que contaram com o apoio dos dirigentes das fábricas de tecidos ali instaladas durante o período. Através da análise de jornais operários, da imprensa comercial e de documentos de polícia, que reunia as licenças concedidas aos clubes congêneres da cidade, este artigo investiga como tais trabalhadores se apropriaram dessas supostas concessões - em um conflituoso diálogo com as visões de mundo patronais. À luz da compreensão do conceito de paternalismo operado pelo historiador inglês E. P. Thompson, a intenção é demonstrar que essas associações recreativas financiadas pelas fábricas se constituíram tanto em espaços de diversão entre esses operários quanto em espaços de negociação e disputa por seus interesses compartilhados.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, there has been a renewed interest in Cannabis sativa and its uses. The recreational use of inflorescences as a source of THC has led to the legal restriction of C. sativa cultivation to limit the detrimental effects of psychotropic substance abuse on health. However, this has also limited the cultivation of textile/industrial varieties with a low content of THC used for textile and nutritional purposes. While previously the bans had significantly penalized the cultivation of C. sativa, today many countries discriminate between recreational use (marijuana) and industrial and food use (hemp). The stalks of industrial hemp (low in psychotropic substances) have been used extensively for textile purposes while the seeds are nutritionally versatile. From hemp seeds, it is possible to obtain flours applicable in the bakery sector, oils rich in essential fatty acids, proteins with a high biological value and derivatives for fortification, supplementation and nutraceutical purposes. Hemp seed properties seem relevant for vegetarian diets, due to their high nutritional value and underestimated employment in the food sector. Hemp seed and their derivatives are a valuable source of protein, essential fatty acids and minerals that could provide additional benefit to vegetarian nutrition. This document aims to explore the information available in the literature about hemp seeds from a nutritional point of view, highlighting possible beneficial effects for humans with particular attention to vegetarian nutrition as a supplemental option for a well-planned diet.

Full textAbstract:
The textile industry produces large quantities of waste and scrap materials. Most of this waste requires disposal. Both environmental and economic benefits could be derived by developing commercial products to use these materials. Environmentally acceptable textile products include those that utilize recycled materials, or materials that have not been chemically processed. Such products are often not economically profitable because of the added expense necessary for environmental protection. Development of such a cost-effective textile product requires use of low-cost materials, minimal cost production processes, and finishes that have already been developed and tested.The objective of this research was to develop a semi-disposable, economical, light-weight, comfortable thermal blanket that would be both flame-resistant and antibacterial through a limited number of laundry cycles. Targeted uses would be in medical and health care facilities, disaster relief centers, short term and emergency housing needs, recreational areas such as camping, and in military maneuvers where environmental conditions could be harmful to long-term products.

Stories are always grounded in personal, collective, and ancestral experiences and come in a variety of visual, performance, textile, and text-based forms. Physical culture participation and politics can be better understood by engaging with the stories of people facing ongoing colonial and epistemic injustices, intersectional oppressions, as well as structural and cultural racism. In contrast to dominant trends in the cultural politics of sport, this article offers an ontological, epistemological, and methodological alternative. Following Black and decolonial scholars, we must honor non-Western storytelling modalities to listen to, tell, show, and center many experiences to resist Western colonial culture's binary structures and hierarchies, introduce alternate theorizations, and inject other ways of knowing and being into the sport and physical cultures and into physical cultural studies. This article highlights several areas of Black and decolonial studies that will be essential to efforts at transformative justice in sport and sports scholarship: interdisciplinarity, the bios–mythoi relationship, counter-storytelling, and creation stories.

During the Japanese rule, Taiwan’s sugar industry had a lasting effect on society and the Taiwanese community. While Taiwan was a part of the Japanese colony, the Japanese developed their technology for the industries and the business operations thus, replacing the traditional methods and technologies in the sugar industry of Taiwan. With the growth of the sugar industries, the surrounding areas also improved giving rise to developments around the industrial area and urbanization. This led to the sugar industries being the cultural heritage of Taiwan. Currently many of these industries are being converted into recreational spaces and/or museums for the public through a method of adaptive re-use. On the other hand, the sugar industry in India has been the second largest industry in the agro-based industrial sector. Along with this it also contributes to the socio-economic development of the country by generating employment in the rural parts where most of these industries are located. Among all the states in India Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are the highest sugarcane and sugar producing states in the country. Lately, the production of sugar in the industries in Maharashtra has gone down. As in Taiwan, the sugar industries in Maharashtra do not account for the heritage of the state. The state of Maharashtra has been well known for its production of cotton and its cotton textile mills. Mumbai the financial capital of India has seen the rise and the downfall of these textile mills and their redevelopment too. Today these mills and mill lands are considered the heritage of the city. But the real question is will this heritage survive and be used as a recreational space or will their fate be written by the residents in want of affordable housing? This paper looks at changes from the perspective of Taiwan and India through their heritage sugar and cotton textile industries respectively. Along with this it also takes the Indian sugar industry into consideration which is responsible for the rural development in many parts of India.

This article focuses on the reconstruction of fabrics based on archaeological finds. When a woman’s grave from the late twelfth century AD (Kukruse Burial VI) was unearthed at Kukruse in eastern Estonia, archaeologists involved experts from various fields in studying the materials that were found in the grave – from natural scientists to textile researchers. A set of clothing was reproduced from what was found in the grave of the “Kukruse Woman”.
 The grave that served as the basis for this study featured plentiful amounts of jewellery and bronze embellishments, but textile remains were extremely scarce. It was for this reason that, when it came to weaving the fabrics, other archaeological textile finds that date back to the same period had to be relied on to a degree. The aim was to achieve a visual resemblance to the historic fabric. When weaving the woollen fabrics, the yarn used was from the wool of an ancient Estonian sheep breed, the native Kihnu type, which was spun in a way that is customary for contemporary woollen mills. In order to obtain the required shade of blue, synthetic dyes were used on the yarn. The tools used met the needs of a modern weaver and increased the efficiency of the work. This article interprets handicraft skills on the basis of the crafter’s personal experience, primarily from a weaver’s perspective. Reconstructing an ancient fabric includes not only reproducing the item itself, but also the process of studying and recreating inherited skills that had since been lost.

Full textAbstract:
The use of cannabis dates back to a time close to that of other cultural crops such as corn, wheat or rice,among others. Initially, the fiber was used to make textiles, however, medicinal and recreational uses werequickly discovered due to the phytocannabinoids present in the plant's flower. Nowadays these elementshave become relevant in human and veterinary medicine and even in zootechnics. Unfortunately, this hasimplied greater cannabis production under the industrial scheme with excessive use of toxic agrochemicalsthat can affect the health of consumers. In the present work, three soil nutritional treatments were evaluatedfor cannabis cultivation: NPK ultrasol fertilizer (15-30-15) leached from worms and compost. The effect ofthese treatments on plant development was measured based on plant height. It was found that organicalternatives (compost and leachate) present results similar to commercial fertilizer, without environmentalimpact and with lower economic cost. It is important to highlight that production techniques must considerhealth and safety, guaranteeing agroecological alternatives free of agrotoxics in all crops for human andanimal consumption.

AbstractIn this work, the authors continue researching issues related to fatigue of aircraft structures made of fabrics. Parachute systems are widely used in military, sport and recreational aviation. Braking parachutes as well as skydiving and troop parachutes are characterized by the repeated use of parachute canopies, which are exposed to wear and fatigue. Until now, parachutes were difficult to design aviation systems due to their complex and unsteady opening characteristics, large changes in the geometry of canopies, suspension lines and tape risers as well as exposure to stochastic atmospheric turbulence. The fatigue of the canopy fabric, suspension lines and tape risers is a problem that must be addressed by textile designers and designers of reusable parachute systems. The authors of this work demonstrate the complexity of operating a parachute in hard multiple use conditions and propose ways to extend the parachute’s service life without compromising safety.

The primary need of people to dress has changed as time passed, because different high-tech fibers, yarns, fabrics, finishing applications, trends and society influences have completely changed. Welfare and comfort properties have become decisive components to make a product appreciated and successful. This paper presents the detailed explanation of clothing comfort, its subgroups and also the Physiological status and psychological status of the people. Clothing also known as clothes, apparel and attire is items worn on the body. Clothing is typically made of fabrics or textiles but over time has included garments made from animal skin or other thin layers of materials put together. The wearing of comfort clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of all human societies. Comfort or being comfortable is a sense of physical or psychological ease, often characterized as a lack of hardship. Persons who are lacking in comfort are uncomfortable, or experiencing discomfort. A degree of psychological comfort can be achieved by recreating experiences that are associated with pleasant. Persons who are surrounded with things that provide psychological comfort may be described as being "in their comfort zone". Because of the personal nature of positive associations, psychological comfort is highly subjective. As the year goes the word comfort is been used in all areas such as food, work, people and clothing. Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment and is assessed by subjective evaluation. The human body will release excess heat into the environment, so the body can continue to operate. The heat transfer is proportional to temperature difference. Maintaining this standard of thermal comfort for occupants is one of the important goals of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) design engineers. And in designing of clothes is the most important goal of a fashion designer. There are six primary factors that directly affect thermal comfort that can be grouped in two categories: personal factors - because they are characteristics of the occupants - and environmental factors - which are conditions of the thermal environment. The former are metabolic rate and clothing level, the latter are air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air speed and humidity. Even if all these factors may vary with time, standards usually refer to a steady state to study thermal comfort, just allowing limited temperature variations. The study was conducted to know the responses about comfort clothing in Physiological status and psychological status acceptance. Since there are large variations from person to person in terms of physiological and psychological satisfaction, it is hard to find an optimal temperature for everyone in a ABSTRACT 62 International Journal for Modern Trends in Science and Technology given space. Survey is been collected to define conditions that will be found comfortable for a specified percentage of occupants, being comfortable is a sense of physical or psychological factors. Understanding clothing comfort, Need and consumer trends basic and universal need of consumers in clothing is comfort and they look for good feel and comfort when they buy clothing and other textile materials. Clothing is very important in our life that we use every day to obtain physiological and psychological comfort and also to ensure physical conditions around our body suitable for survival. Therefore, it is extremely important for the survival of human beings and improvement of the quality of our life to have good understanding of the fundamentals of clothing comfort. From the viewpoint of the manufacturers of clothing and textile materials, understanding of clothing comfort has substantial financial implications in the effort to satisfy the needs and wants of consumers in order to obtain sustainable competitive advantages in modern consumer markets. Consumer always expects some additional functional qualities from the clothes they purchase. Clothing is manufactured in a wide range of thermal, tactile and physical properties to meet consumer needs. Depending on the nee. and expectations of the consumer's, the clothing and textile manufacturers provide wide range of options to enhance human comfort. For example, clothing made from blends and natural fibres are preferred to man-made fibres for all comfort attributes except smoothness or woven fabric are preferred to knits for smoothness, thickness and openness. To understand the basics of clothing comfort, sensory tools as well as the equipment’s to evaluate the comfort related characteristics of textile materials have been developed. Large number of studies has been carried out and many equipment are developed in the textile and clothing area such as mechanical, thermal and surface testing, so as to evaluate the related physical properties, but the body between measurement and the consumer feeling of comfort are still difficult to establish. Consumers want everything from the clothing, i.e. it should look good, feel good, perform well, said like their clothing to match with their chosen attitudes, roles and images. Consumers are now allowing touch, smell, intuition, and emotion to influence their decision on clothing selection more than their aesthetic sense. Asa result, great importance is being attributed to the wearing experience and thus comfort is being reinforced as a key parameter in clothing. It is also true that requirements of consumers on comfort changes with products and situations. Clearly, understanding and satisfying the needs of consumer towards clothing products are crucial for the long-term survival and growth of clothing and textile demand. Understanding and enhancement of clothing comfort is definitely one of the important issues.

Full textAbstract:
Population growth, urbanization, and modernization are all contributing to sewage disposal issues and lake poisoning. The physical, chemical, and biological properties of water are typically used to describe its quality. Numerous factors, including BOD, temperature, electrical conductivity, nitrate, phosphorus, potassium, dissolved oxygen, etc., can be used to measure the quality of water. Because they pollute water or induce chronic poisoning in aquatic creatures, heavy metals like Pb, Cr, Fe, and Hg are particularly concerning. This review study stresses the Lake Hawassa water quality status using various research findings from both published and unpublished web documents. It was noted that the water from Lake Hawassa is extremely contaminated and may not meet the requirements for drinking and recreational uses, although with great care, it benefits aquatic life and irrigation. Pesticides were found in significant concentrations in Lake Hawassa's water, sediments, and fish species as a result of its exposure to effluent from industrial, urban, and agricultural runoff. As a result, the lake has become poisoned, threatening the aquatic ecosystem's biodiversity, which includes fish. Therefore, in order to protect Lake Hawassa's water supply, the government should implement the necessary controls to prevent the discharge of pollutants from agricultural fields, ceramics, textiles, plastics, urban storm water, leather tanning, and food processing sectors.

Full textAbstract:
Concussions, a prevalent public health concern in the United States, often result from mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), notably in sports such as American football. There is limited exploration of smart-textile-based sensors for measuring the head impacts associated with concussions in sports and recreational activities. In this paper, we describe the development and construction of a smart textile impact sensor (STIS) and validate STIS functionality under high magnitude impacts. This STIS can be inserted into helmet cushioning to determine head impact force. The designed 2 × 2 STIS matrix is composed of a number of material layered structures, with a sensing surface made of semiconducting polymer composite (SPC). The SPC dimension was modified in the design iteration to increase sensor range, responsiveness, and linearity. This was to be applicable in high impact situations. A microcontroller board with a biasing circuit was used to interface the STIS and read the sensor’s response. A pendulum test setup was constructed to evaluate various STISs with impact forces. A camera and Tracker software were used to monitor the pendulum swing. The impact forces were calculated by measuring the pendulum bob’s velocity and acceleration. The performance of the various STISs was measured in terms of voltage due to impact force, with forces varying from 180 to 722 N. Through data analysis, the threshold impact forces in the linear range were determined. Through an analysis of linear regression, the sensors’ sensitivity was assessed. Also, a simplified model was developed to measure the force distribution in the 2 × 2 STIS areas from the measured voltages. The results showed that improving the SPC thickness could obtain improved sensor behavior. However, for impacts that exceeded the threshold, the suggested sensor did not respond by reflecting the actual impact forces, but it gave helpful information about the impact distribution on the sensor regardless of the accurate expected linear response. Results showed that the proposed STIS performs satisfactorily within a range and has the potential to be used in the development of an e-helmet with a large STIS matrix that could cover the whole head within the e-helmet. This work also encourages future research, especially on the structure of the sensor that could withstand impacts which in turn could improve the overall range and performance and would accurately measure the impact in concussion-causing impact ranges.

Full textAbstract:
Cannabis Sativa L., Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Hybrid are widespread plant species that find legal use in many countries around the world. The first of them has found considerable application in medicine, cosmetics, building construction, textile and food industries. Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Hybrid are used as raw materials for the extraction of oils that are used as pain relievers as well as for recreation purposes. The aim of the present study is to compare the polyphenolic composition of extracts from the three types of plants, by the maceration method of dry green leaf mass consisting of inflorescences and leaves. Ethanol (99.9 %) is used as an extractant, and the duration of the maceration process is seven days, at room temperature and stirring. The polyphenol composition is determined using HPLC-DAD method.
 The following polyphenol composition is found in extracts of Cannabis Sativa L.: epigallocatechin, rutin, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol. On the other hand, quercetin and kaempferol are detected in the Cannabis Indica samples, while epigallocatechin, quercetin and kaempferol are present in the hybrid sort. In addition, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using sunlight or microwave irradiation was carried out to evaluate the reduction properties of three cannabis extracts. The least quantity of silver nanoparticles was obtained in the presence of Cannabis Sativa L. extracts. From the other two species of cannabis, microwave irradiation produces more silver nanoparticles, with smaller sizes, while exposure to direct sunlight produces fewer particles,but with larger sizes.

Full textAbstract:
Enhancing recovery is a fundamental component of high-performance sports training since it enables practitioners to potentiate physical performance and minimise the risk of injuries. Using a new sports legging embedded with an intelligent system for electrostimulation, localised heating and compression (completely embodied into the textile structures), we aimed to analyse acute recovery following a fatigue protocol. Surface electromyography- and torque-related variables were recorded on eight recreational athletes. A fatigue protocol conducted in an isokinetic dynamometer allowed us to examine isometric torque and consequent post-exercise acute recovery after using the sports legging. Regarding peak torque, no differences were found between post-fatigue and post-recovery assessments in any variable; however, pre-fatigue registered a 16% greater peak torque when compared with post-fatigue for localised heating and compression recovery methods. Our data are supported by recent meta-analyses indicating that individual recovery methods, such as localised heating, electrostimulation and compression, are not effective to recover from a fatiguing exercise. In fact, none of the recovery methods available through the sports legging tested was effective in acutely recovering the torque values produced isometrically.

Full textAbstract:
Cannabis sativa L. is divided into three main groups: drug-type, intermediate-type, and fiber-type. The presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exceeding 0.2–0.3% in drug-type and intermediate Cannabis that utilized for recreational and medicinal purposes renders them illegal due to potential mental health implications. Fiber-type contains high cannabidiol (CBD) and low THC, making it suitable for household use such as textiles and animal feed. Accurate classification is essential to prevent misuse of the plant. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), used respectively for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of THC and CBD particularly in female inflorescences, categorized 85 samples of 46 cultivars used in this study into three distinct chemotypes. While chemotype analysis of a very specific organ of the plants accurately identifies Cannabis groups, it requires time-consuming plant development to maturity. Genotype analysis targeting tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase (THCAS) and cannabidiolic acid synthase (CBDAS) genes offers a faster alternative for classifying Cannabis types, allowing for sample determination from any part at any developmental stage of the plant. DNA sequencing allowed a phylogenetic analysis based on these genes, classifying all 85 samples of 46 cultivars into the same three groups identified by chemotype analysis. This study is the first to successfully examine the relationship between chemotype and genotype in 85 samples of 46 cultivars. Rapid identification of Cannabis types through genotype analysis lays the groundwork for future development of detection kits.

Full textAbstract:
Cannabis sativa L., an annual, dioecious, short-day plant from the Cannabaceae family, presents versatile applications encompassing cannabinoids and terpenes for medicinal or recreational utilization, as well as oil production for culinary, cosmetic, and animal feed purposes. Additionally,the plant's resilient fiber can be processed as paper, biodegradable plastics, textiles, and as construction materials (i.e., hempcrete). On a global scale, the cannabis market is projected to attain a value of $272 billion by 2028. Despite its considerable potential, some countries, including African nations, uphold prohibition due to entrenched stigma, curtailing Africa's potential involvement in the cannabis industry. Unlike regions such as the United States and Europe, where outdoor cannabis cultivation occurs once annually, Africa's climatic conditions and fertile soils allow for up to three growth cycles each year, positioning the continent as a potential frontrunner in global cannabis production. This prospect holds the potential to significantly enhance Africa's socioeconomic development by fostering job creation, addressing youth unemployment, increasing its GPD, and spurring infrastructure development. However, these inherent advantages remain underutilized due to an enduring lack of cannabis education programs that can counteract social stigma. We recommend African countries to contemplate emulating the 2018 US Farm Bill, which allows the cultivation of cannabis cultivars with diminished levels of Δ9-THC (up to 0.3%), commonly known as hemp. Hemp possesses diverse applications, encompassing medicinal uses involving CBD, THCV, CBG and other non-psychotropic cannabinoids, alongside fiber, feed, and oil production. This strategic step could yield substantial job prospects and entrepreneurial ventures, potentially generating an annual revenue surpassing $7.0 billion from cannabis and hemp flower sales exclusively.

Full textAbstract:
Bizerte lagoon is a valuable socio-economic ecosystem which is renowned for its significant biodiversity and its strategic position in the Mediterranean and in northern Tunisia. It is characterized by an important biodiversity and a high biological productivity, which makes of it a nursery for several marine species. It is also a place of brood stock maturation for others and a feeding area for many migratory species. Its shores and maritime space host lots of human activities, such as coastal fishing, shellfish farming, maritime traffic, recreational fishing and nautical sports, besides 277 industries spanning several sectors of activity such as leather and textile as well as the refining of hydrocarbons and the steel industry. These activities cause severe pollution and result in many anthropogenic disturbances. The aim of this work is to study the sanitary state of Bizerte Lagoon using a biological and ecosystem approach that exploits bio-ecological indicators at the scale of specimen, population, community or whole ecosystem. The findings of this study have revealed the following facts: the peri-lagoon part of the Northeast zone is distinguished by an interesting biological diversity. According to statistical descriptors, the most abundant and frequent zoological groups are gastropod mollusks followed by crustaceans. In terms of diversity indexes, the values obtained showed that the Northeast zone has a poor to mediocre ecological status. This research demonstrates that Bizerte Lagoon is undergoing an anthropic pressure that has been jeopardizing the biodiversity of this ecosystem.

Full textAbstract:
Buoyant swimwear is becoming more common in recreational swimming use, so the performance of buoyant fabric is important when designing functional swimwear. In this study, potential buoyant inlaid knitted fabrics for buoyant swimwear are investigated. Three types of knitted structures, half milano, full milano and 1 × 1 rib, are selected and various kinds of tubes and foam rods in different diameters are prepared for inlaying during the knitting process by using a 7 G hand-knitting machine. The mean differences among the levels of three independent variables, (1) inlaid material, (2) yarn and (3) knitted structure, on three dependent variables (net buoyant force, compression and tensile properties) are analyzed by using a multivariate analysis of variance. The result shows that the net buoyant force and mechanical properties of the fabric are significantly different due to the inlaid material and knitted structure, but not the yarn. The net buoyant force increases with fabric thickness and the outer diameter of the inlaid material. The inlaid fabrics are less compressible than the control fabric and show better recoverability with an increase in the diameter of the inlaid material. For the tensile properties, the inlaid material reinforces the fabric in both the wale and course directions, in which the stiffness in the course direction is significantly increased. The inlaid fabric is stronger and resistant to breakage in the course direction when the diameter of the inlaid material is increased. The findings of this study contribute to developments in the textile and sportswear industry.

The author explores how the development of industry and trade in Kyiv in the second half of the 19th century was visualised in the exhibition “Shevchenko in the language of the city” that took place at Taras Shevchenko National Museum from November 4 of 2020 through March 31 of 2021. Scholars addressed urban development in Ukraine on a number of occasions, especially in the Soviet times. Contemporary historians also tackled the issues related to the industry and trade of Ukrainian cities. However, there is still room for improvement as new challenges arise. Classic narrative strategies are not enough in the museum environment. Researchers and curators have to work together in order to develop a visual strategy for curatorial projects based on published and unpublished data and images. “Shevchenko in the language of the city” is a curatorial project aimed at visualising socio-economic life in Kyiv in the times of the great Ukrainian poet. Curators focused on sugar, brick, ceramic and textile industries as key to the Kyivan economy of the second half of the 19th century. They sought to demonstrate the spectrum of the Kyivan economy to museum visitors through a range of visual sources. The author analyses how maps, installations, and infographics were used for this purpose. He looks in particular at the map of sugar factories and infographics that visualise industrial development in Kyiv from 1848 through 1908. The author also examines the use of digital tools for recreating the economic space of Kyiv and its impact on everyday life.

We and our habitat are forms of energy, endowed with life, and irrevocably earthlings. A cosmological-to-locality appreciation of energy in food and nutrition science, practice and policy is overdue. Our livelihood, and any function we have, are energy dependent, as is planetary habitability. Energy cognisance has become an existential necessity in an increasingly self-destructive ‘anthropocene’ era when our own energy equilibrium is compromised. This is manifest in destruction and loss of our ecology, our livelihood expectations, and practices, and, in turn, our wellbeing and health. Most problematic has been the domination, skewing and loss of biomass caused by humans, both their over-population of the earth, and their exploitation of its natural resources. These resources provide fuel for warmth, cooking and transport, textiles, and clothing; are subject to land and aquatic harvest, are replaced by dwellings and infrastructural buildings, and yet are recreational assets. Wastage has been of scant regard. Energy misuse besets the entire food system. This has followed the development of the wood and coal-fired steam engine, the advent of gasoline powered internal combustion engines, use and transmission of electricity, and an insatiable arms industry. Now, we are at the brink of extinction. Profiteering and conflict over energy control has fostered unfettered industrial materialism, a major extinction risk factor. Not only is energy the power we need, but it has also underwritten the powerful. Can we be sufficiently insightful and collaborative to change this energy trajectory and survive healthfully on a habitable planet? Individuals, households, and communities, as opposed to unaccountable monopolies, could achieve control of the energy systems on which our livelihoods depend and render them sustainable, accessible, and affordable. Interconnected food and energy system ownership could be devolved to ‘The Commons’ as a cooperative, sustainability strategy. The social momentum and appropriate technology for energy conservation, renewability and personalisation is now available for mobilisation to address our food, nutrition, and health insecurity.

The article defines that the Industry 4.0 development paradigm light industry should develop in the directions of using information and communication technologies (ICT). The active development of artificial intelligence presupposes the introduction into the educational process of training future teachers of professional training of modern technologies for manufacturing clothes, in particular seamless. It has been found out that clothes made on special equipment and devoid of traditional side seams, or even any manufacturing and assembly seams, are called seamless. It has been proven that the creation of such textile products is a real revolution in clothing production, a concept that combines various techniques and processes, which are not always simple and elementary. It has been proven that the seamless technology of clothing production is one of the most promising directions in light industry. A variety of materials are used for the production of seamless clothing, mainly artificial and synthetic polymer. It has been proven that the range of products made using seamless clothing technology is quite significant, namely: clothing for swimming, sports and active recreation, thermal clothing, underwear and children's underwear, protective medical clothing, shoes, gloves, etc. In the research process, it has been proven that seamless clothing is a grandiose result of innovative developments and modern achievements, which has a considerable number of quality advantages: ease of use, invisibility under clothing, absence of cuts and folds on the body, perfect fit, slimming effect, freedom of movement, flawless permeability air and moisture, high quality (does not stretch and does not fray), affordable price. It was determined that with the help of a wide selection of innovative equipment, it is possible to solve the problems of modern sewing factories in the production of seamless clothing. It was found that special tapes are used to seal the seams, which are heated by a stream of hot air and pressed with a roller to the seam, welding it with a fabric cover. Control of machines for seamless connection is carried out using a touch screen. The entire workflow can be developed and saved as process parameters, setting temperature, pressure and welding speed.

Összefoglaló. A kender (Cannabis sativa) gyógyhatásainak megítélése napjainkban változóban van, egyúttal igen ellentmondásos. Munkánk célja a kenderrel és készítményeivel kapcsolatos jogszabályi környezet alakulásának a kender gyógyászati alkalmazásának történetével párhuzamos bemutatása. A kenderrel és tartalomanyagaival kapcsolatos, jelenleg hatályos hazai jogszabályok és nemzetközi egyezmények áttekintése mellett bemutatjuk a kender alkalmazásának történetét a szakirodalmi adatok és a gyógyszerkincs átalakulásának tükrében. A kender ipari pályafutása textilipari alapanyagként kezdődött, de már ezt megelőzően is alkalmazták kábítószerként és gyógyászati célokra. A 20. század során a pszichoaktív szerként való felhasználás vált elterjedtebbé, de a növény hatóanyagainak jobb megismerésével a gyógyászati alkalmazás súlya is nőtt. Jelenleg a kender több vegyülete (kannabidiol, tetrahidrokannabinol) van forgalomban gyógyszerként világszerte, de félszintetikus kannabinoidot (nabilon) tartalmazó készítmények és különböző kannabisztermékek is forgalomban vannak gyógyszerként. Napjainkban alkalmazására jellemző, hogy a racionális gyógyászati használat mellett jelentős a túlzó elvárásokon alapuló, szakszerűtlen alkalmazás. Ez részben a kenderrel kapcsolatos jogi szabályozás anomáliáival is magyarázható. Ennek következménye, hogy élelmiszerként elérhetők a kender epilepsziaellenes hatóanyagát tartalmazó termékek, amelyeket számos gyógyhatás reményében használnak orvosi kontroll nélkül. Megállapítható, hogy az új tudományos eredmények, a területen érdekelt vállalkozások céljai, a fogyasztói igények, a piaci realitás és a jogi szabályozás nem minden esetben és szempontból van összhangban. A kannabinoidok hosszabb távú jövőjét a bizonyítékokon alapuló gyógyászatban nagyban befolyásolják azok a kutatások, amelyek segítségével pontosabb kép alkotható haszon-kockázat profiljukról. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(45): 1808–1817. Summary. The opinion about the medicinal value of cannabis (Cannabis sativa) is changing but still remains controversial. The aim of our work was to present the evolution of the regulatory environment of Cannabis and its preparations in parallel with its history as medicine. We reviewed the current national legislation and international conventions on Cannabis and its constituents along with the historical and contemporary medicinal application of Cannabis. The utilisation of Cannabis started in the textile industry, but it was applied for recreational and medicinal purposes beforehand. During the 20th century, it was best known for its psychoactivity whereas its medicinal importance increased after elucidating the bioactivities of the active compounds of the plant. Currently different phytocannabinoids (cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol) are marketed as medicines, but semisynthetic cannabinoids and different cannabis-based products are also approved as medicines. Today, there is a trend that goes beyond the rational and medicinal application thus results in improper form of utilisation. This phenomenon could partly be explained by the anomalies of legislative regulations. As a result, products containing the antiepileptic component of cannabis are available as food and used for different medicinal purposes without medical supervision. Evidently, there is no harmony between the new scientific discoveries, the goals of companies involved, the demands of consumers, market realities and current laws in several aspects. Ongoing studies will help to clarify the benefit-risk profiles of cannabinoids and provide major influence on the future of these compounds in the evidence-based medicine.

We are witnesses of “Industry 4.0”, the 4th industrial revolution. In just a few years, we became a highly analytical society where at any given time massive datasets are produced, collected and analysed. Cities and countries have the vision of becoming smart societies, optimising the performance and wellbeing of their citizens. One can easily track and log all daily activities. The biggest challenge, though, is the management of an overwhelming amount of data.
 Sports industry is no different. Sports is a reflection of the society. Athletes (of any level, from recreational all the way up to world-ranked), patients and practitioners (Physical Education teachers, coaches, analysts, physicians, therapists, etc.) are keen to track-down analytical parameters as well. Innovation and technology can help preventing and minimising sports injuries, enhancing sports technique or aid assessing the performance delivered.
 The industry of smart sport equipment is growing up at a very fast pace. The number of wearable devices worldwide is expected to increase from 325 million in 2016 to over 830 million in 2020. The smart wearables for sports and fitness generated US$3.5 billion in 2014 (Market Wired, 2016). The forecast is that smart garments sector will worth about US$34 billion by 2020 (Lamkin, 2016). The smart textiles and smart fabrics market is expected to reach US$9.3 billion by 2024 (Grand View Research, 2015).
 These products can cater a wide range of consumers. The ones who are looking forward to more or less fashionable sportswear, sports accessories, information technology & electronics consumers, etc. The common denominator among these consumers is being innovation-driven. There are commercially available smart wearables (or gear) to be used in all main sports, including aquatics, athletics, boating, cycling, gymnastics, invasion games, net sports, winter sports, and much more. Sports equipment and clothing can be instrumented with sensors, providing real-time analytical details on the subject’s behaviour and performance. Data can be logged and analysed later on. Alternatively, it can be transmitted real-time to portable terminals (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches or laptops) and displayed immediately.
 With this outlook as backdrop, there is an opportunity for sports sciences to play a key-role in the reshape of the sports landscape. Sports researchers can help on the design and validation of smart sport equipment, and be involved as end-users of these products. As end-users, sport researchers will not be spending so much time collecting and handling data. Rather, the job scope will shift more into analysis, interpretation and application of the findings. This will enable to provide swift real-time feedback to patients, athletes, coaches and others stakeholders in the sports fraternity. Data can be uploaded to a cloud and be available everywhere at any given time from any device. The design, and validation of new cutting-edge devices, of innovative solutions, are a great opportunity to bridge academia with industry. To carry out these projects is paramount to have interdisciplinary research teams with a wide array of skills, different expertise and backgrounds. The project will not end by the publication of a series of research papers. This should be followed-up by obtaining a patent. Also, it can help highly-trained graduates to join the workforce and even to foster the setup of start-ups.
 Several universities, mostly in Asia and Europe (notably the United Kingdom), are now offering courses in “Sports Technology” to undergraduate students. Some tertiary institutions, are offering also undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in this field. The curricula of such programmes touch topics such as innovation, design, and sports engineering with a strong emphasis in sport sciences. Sports technology is an exciting, cutting-edge and reasonable new field. Moreover, it is possible to set a pathway between academia (research and teaching) and industry (services). Ultimately, it is deemed to provide an added economical return to society, which one should not disregard.

Full textAbstract:
Dress, clothes, and accessories receive and give meaning through their nearness to the human body. As P. Stallybrass writes: “Bodies come and go: the clothes that have received those bodies survive.” It is through the close interaction between dress and person that they both receive their meaning. Clothes shape the human body, and we in return shape our clothes. Dress communicates class, gender, nationality, and marital status, and we leave behind parts of us in its smell, wrinkles, wear, and tear: “Clothes receive the human imprint.” Archaeological and historical dress — no matter how ancient — remain intrinsically linked to their wearers. These are objects of use, affection, value, and memory, and through the study of the dress of past people, we may wear their habits and inhabit their spaces however briefly. The visual appearance of people, in more recent times as well as throughout history, is a clear marker of identity and an important communication medium. For this reason, costume and jewelry serve as an “anchor point” to involve people of the 21st century in studies of the life of prehistoric and ancient societies. This is worth considering, as archaeological textile research needs a strong commitment to public outreach and education, as well as to be integrated into the challenges of our time and to participate in current debates. Through the lens of deep history, it can inspire people to think about such questions as identity, resource use, and shared heritage, among others. Dissemination of textiles and clothing for the broader public in museums is realized through various channels. These range from the exhibition of individual objects, such as textiles, garments, jewelry, and dress accessories, to virtual recreations, and encompasses workshops, citizen science projects for the recreation of historical garments, media-effective historical fashion shows, and reinterpretations of aspects of historical garments through contemporary fashion. This remains an ongoing process, since the interpretation of the past will never be complete, and every generation formulates new approaches. The EuroWeb COST Action (2020–2024) serves as an innovative hub to gain understanding of historical as well as recent dress identities. For this contribution, different aspects of the history of fashion from various museums have been selected as case studies, to demonstrate the wide span of possibilities for displaying and experiencing Dress Identities. Our journey starts with Etruscan jewelry as displayed at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen in Munich (Germany), leading to Early Medieval dress, recreated from various sources as a physical dress ensemble as well as a virtual one, and used for science communication at the Natural History Museum Vienna (Austria) and Halle an der Saale (Germany). As both of the first examples derive from archaeological contexts, we do not have complete garments. This was why we also wanted to explore the possibilities for dissemination of “folk historic costumes”, like a traditional mourning dress as displayed at the Museum Amager (Denmark).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe research was focused on the heating capacity of developed, isolated from water penetration, knitted textile heating element with incorporated conductive silver (Ag)- plated yarns, which can be used in manufacturing heating textile products intended for recreation, sports, or health care for elderly. The aim of the investigation was to obtain an appropriate temperature on a human skin, generated by the textile heating element surface at a lower voltage depending on a variety of wearing conditions indoor. Depending on the supplied voltage to the heating element, an incoming electric energy can be converted into different heat. Therefore, the electrical and achieved temperature parameters of heating elements are very important by selecting and adapting required power source devices and by setting the logical parameters of programmable controllers. The heating–cooling dynamic process of developed textile heating element was investigated at different simulated wearing conditions on a standard sweating hot plate and on a human skin at applied voltages of 3V and 5V. It was discovered that a voltage of 5 V is too big for textile heating elements, because the reached steady state temperature increases to approximately 39–40°C, which is too hot for contact with the human skin. The voltage of 3 V is the most suitable to work properly and continuously, i.e., to switch on when the adjusted temperature is too low and to turn off when the necessary temperature is reached. Based on the values of reached steady-state heating temperature, the influence of the applied voltage, ambient air flow velocity, and heating efficiency, depending on various layering of clothes, was determined. Recorded temperatures on the external surface of the heating element provided the possibility to assess its heat loss outgoing into the environment. It was suggested that heat loss can be reduced by increasing thermal insulation properties of the outer layer of the heating element or using layered clothing. On the basis of the resulted heating characteristics, recommended parameters of power source necessary for wearable textile heating element were defined.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWidespread use of plastics and improper management of plastic waste have resulted in generation of microplastic particles in the environment. These microplastic particles are pervasive contaminants having potential to invade almost all the environmental matrices and biotic species including humans. Therefore, immediate concern is necessary to investigate the level of contamination and probable risk imposed because of microplastics. Present investigation has been carried out for estimating the presence of microplastics in terrestrial environment of Indore, which is considered as commercial capital of the state of Madhya Pradesh (India). Soil samples (30 in no.) were collected from agricultural and recreational areas of the city and analysed for the presence of microplastics. Approximately 11 particles/kg and 68.25 particles/kg were found in the agricultural and recreational site soil samples, respectively. Chemical composition analysis revealed that most of the microplastic particles belonged to polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, and polyamide. Significant presence of various fibres made up of polyester, polyacrylic, and cellulose acetate was also seen, which could be attributed to the presence of textile industries in and around Indore. Ecological risk assessment aided in concluding that study area soil is under the ‘very low’ risk category; however, considering the long‐term impacts of microplastics, suitable control measures for plastic waste are needed to be adopted.

Full textAbstract:
Engaging with scholarship on hegemony, park history, and in particular with Sevilla-Buitrago’s analysis of Central Park as a pedagogical space, this article traces the establishment of two parks in the Swedish textile industry centre of Norrköping. These parks, bearing very similar names – Folkparken and Folkets Park – were established just six years apart. But though both parks linked “park” and “people” ( Folk), their intended political effects were radically different. The 1895 Folkparken was an elite attempt to create a de-politicised landscape park, while the 1901 Folkets Park was instead the labour movement’s attempt to create their own space. Exploring this latter park enables telling a story of park production beyond elite dominance. Like dozens of similar labour-controlled parks across Sweden, the People’s Park allowed Norrköping’s labour movement to shape their landscape long before the Social Democrats made any significant inroads into parliamentary politics. Combining a platform for socialistic agitation, with a theatre and space for recreation, this park quickly became central to Norrköping’s working class. Thereby, it could both enable social-democratic presence at an everyday level, and function as an important resource during periods of intense class-struggle.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractResearch into water management in Roman towns has traditionally focused on its supply by means of aqueducts and its use in the thermal baths and domus of the elites. However, the urban functions of water included uses that went far beyond recreational, social activities and also included its supply to production facilities. Numerous artisanal activities required large amounts of water, including pottery, textile activities, wickerwork and manufacturing bone or metal instruments. All these activities are commonly identified in Roman towns. In each case, the workshops could have obtained water not only from wells and cisterns, but also through a connection to the urban supply network, thanks to an aqua publica concession. In this study, we compile both archaeological and textual evidence, including literary and legal texts, on the private use of aqua publica for productive activities in urban contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Ever since the first edition of Frieze New York in 2012, the art fair pays tribute each year to “alternative spaces and artist-run initiatives that have defined and transformed the cultural life of contemporary cities.”[1] In 2013 Frieze New York celebrated FOOD, the artist-run restaurant initiated in 1971 by Gordon Matta-Clark in the neighborhood of SoHo, the old textile industry district South of Houston Street in Downtown Manhattan, New York. For the 2015 edition, Frieze commemorated the Flux-Labyrinth, a room-filling installation conceived by the artist George Maciunas in 1974. Not unlike Matta-Clark’s FOOD, Maciunas’s Flux-Labyrinth was a project that was firmly rooted in the artists’ colony of SoHo. Whereas the 2015 recreation of the original Flux-Labyrinth included many of the original sections, it also included sections designed by contemporary artists.[2] “Hidden among the grid of galleries,” the reconstruction of the labyrinth was promoted as “a space in which to play and discover a new awareness of our bodies.”[3] Any additional information about the historical genesis and meaning of the project by Maciunas, however, was not provided, preventing visitors to the fair from discovering the interrelatedness with the Fluxus movement in general, and with the urban realm of SoHo in the late 1960s and early 1970s in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: The study aims to determine whether all uses of Marijuana are considered haram (prohibited) or if there are any exceptions. Methodology: It employed a qualitative methodology and rigorously examined relevant materials from a jurisprudential perspective, including textual and contextual aspects. Data for this study were sourced from various materials, including books, journal articles, reports, conference papers, and websites. Findings: The research highlights the differences between hemp and Cannabis sativa, both types of marijuana plants, distinguished by their varying levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Hemp contains less than 0.3% THC, while Marijuana can have THC levels up to 28%. Marijuana is primarily used for recreational purposes, whereas hemp has numerous industrial applications such as textiles, rope, paint, clothing, shoes, paper, bioplastics, insulation, lotions, and more. Ultimately, the ruling on marijuana use varies between forbidden (haram) and permissible (halal), depending on the intent behind its use. This is consistent with the Islamic legal principle that the determining factors influence the law. Originality: The study's findings will assist policymakers in effectively managing hemp, creating job opportunities, and significantly increasing tax revenue while implementing measures to prevent and control its use. The scientific value of this research lies in analyzing marijuana consumption from the perspective of the Sharia, which aligns with the higher objectives of Islamic law: preserving the mind and wealth.

During the growing time of technology, the organizations cannot increase their employee’s commitment by providing salaries on time. When the organization offer different welfare measures to their employees, there is an opportunity to increase the commitment of the employee. The aim of the study is to analyze labour welfare measure and its relationship with employee's commitment. A sample of 76 respondents (84.2% male and 15.8% female) from Jyothy Laboratories Limited were participated in the study and the census method was adopted in the collection of data from individual respondents. The findings of the research indicated that the labour welfare measure especially health insurance, housing facility, hygienic toilet facility, transport facility, rest and lunch room facility, compensation on death and recreational facilities creates a positive approach on employee’s commitment, while the other factors create variables creates a negative approach on employee’s commitment. The factors of labour welfare measures namely statutory welfare measure and non-statutory welfare measure are highly influenced by the employee’s commitment like affective and normative commitment. But in the case of continuance commitment, social security measure alone creates an impact, the remaining variable are not create any impact on continuance commitment.

Full textAbstract:
Cannabis sativa L. (hemp) is a plant of significant global interest due to its diverse range of over 700 bioactive secondary metabolites. The plant's extensive historical and contemporary uses balance its controversial status. This review offers a thorough examination of C. sativa , focusing on its taxonomy, traditional and local uses, pharmacological importance, and phytochemistry. A review of observational studies and literature published between 1995 and 2024 was conducted. Sources were gathered from various databases, such as Google Scholar, NIH, PubMed, and Web of Science, to ensure a broad inclusive analysis. The taxonomy of Cannabis sativa has evolved significantly since Linnaeus’ eighteenth-century classifications, with ongoing debates about its species and strains. Traditionally, C. sativa has been utilized for medicinal purposes, textile production, and as food. The plant's primary cannabinoid compounds, Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are synthesized in glandular trichomes and play crucial roles in its medicinal and recreational uses. These compounds engage with cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and other receptors, including GPCRs - involved in pain modulation. Despite legislative challenges and controversies surrounding its psychoactive properties, C. sativa has considerable medicinal potential for improving better lifestyles.

Full textAbstract:
Millions of sports and recreation-related injuries occur each year. Different shock-absorbing solutions, such as polyethylene and polyurethane foams, are used in helmets and protective equipment, but one area most sports-gear manufacturers have not explored is the usage of shear thickening fluids (STFs). An STF is a material that is soft under normal conditions but acts rigid when stressed or pressured. STF composites were fabricated and tested with the goal of exploring their viability for use in shock-absorption applications, especially for sports.
 The role of fabric- and particle-type, particle-to-carrier fluid ratios, nano-particle additives, and the thickness of the composite were studied, and were all hypothesized to have an effect on the impact-resistance of the fabricated STF-composites. Drop-tests were conducted by releasing a 1.1-lb. weight from an electromagnet onto the composites. An impact-force sensor was placed underneath. The weight and height of the drop were chosen to simulate the hardest recorded NFL hit.
 All hypothesized factors were found to affect impact resistance. The combination of nylon-fabric impregnated by an STF mix of propylene-glycol and silica-nanoparticles, with a cerium-oxide nano-particle additive, displayed better shock-absorption behavior than other fabricated composites. All of the STF-composites also outperformed tested commercial shock-absorption materials despite being thinner and more flexible. These results demonstrate the potential of using STF-impregnated textile fabrics for protective composites for sportswear, as well as for non-sport shock-absorption applications, like in military vests and helmets, and aerospace applications. Further research is necessary to work towards a final product which can be used.

This paper explores Elaine Reichek's 1994 installation A Postcolonial Kinderhood in relation to the histories it resurfaced, namely those of American Jewry, modernism, architecture and interior design. Situating the work in the mode Hal Foster designated as ‘archival’, the paper contends that Reichek’s investment in these histories was decidedly post postmodern, which is to say, with A Postcolonial Kinderhood, Reichek attempted to weave history back together, rather than pull it further apart. This was achieved literally with embroidery, through the eleven hand-stitched samplers that lined the installation’s four walls. Part of the installation’s broader recreation of Reichek’s childhood home in 1950s Brooklyn, these samplers evoked America’s colonial period – the English textile form had been brought over by colonial settlers in the seventeenth century – as well as the subsequent (and various) Colonial Revivals in American architecture and interior design. Yet while Reichek’s samplers faithfully replicated the design, scale and composition of earlier precedents, she updated the form’s textual component by hand-stitching remarks made by friends and family on the subject of their Jewish identity. Through these texts, Reichek brought her samplers into the 1990s while connecting her installation’s address of Jewish identity to a much longer American history. During a period in which the category ‘Jewish art’ was being reformulated as a distinct subset of American art, A Postcolonial Kinderhood presented both ‘Jewish’ and ‘American’ as too entangled with one another to be separated out into two static categories. Pointing beyond the specifics of this particular tangle of art and identity, this paper will hold up A Postcolonial Kinderhood as exemplary of the historical reckoning that played out in American art of the 1990s.
