Abstract:
One of the problems faced by middle to lower economic class people in big cities is drying clothes, both in the dry season and in the rainy season. Artificial clothes drying equipment is needed that can replace the role of solar energy. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of electric energy clothes dryers and the length of time needed to dry clothes on a household scale. The clothes dryer works by using a heat-pump based on the vapor-compression cycle. The total power of the heat pump is 200 watt. The working fluid of the heat-pump is R134a. The working fluid used to dry clothes is air, using a closed airflow system. The research was carried out experimentally by varying the amount of clothes in the drying chamber. The clothes dryer performance (COP) of the heat pump is 7.94. Drying time for 15, 25 and 40 clothes respectively for 210 minutes, 330 minutes and 450 minutes.

Abstract:
The phenomenon of hijab trend in Indonesia runs concurrently with the increasing number of working women who wear hijab particularly at a number of offices in major cities, both private and state agencies. However, the formal Muslimah’s work clothes currently follow the trend with no regard to the suitability of the function of the work clothes and Islamic shari’a. This study aims at obtaining the criteria for Muslimah’s work clothes, in terms of silhouette and materials used. The research method employed is literature review on the criteria, as well as the analysis of a number of Muslimah’s work clothes images obtained from personal documentation, magazines, and online shops. The finding shows three groups of Muslimah work clothes: closed to shari’a criteria, to basic concept of work clothes, and to both groups. The perspective of modernist Islamic in Indonesia, regarding the forms of hijab is used as a benchmark for analyzing the Islamic shari’a criteria. Work clothes in accordance with the Islamic criteria, work functions and trends, are expected to help Muslimah workers dressed in syar’i, professional, and trendy hijabs.

Abstract:
The most intuitive and natural approach for building garments takes its inspiration from the traditional garment industry where garments are created from two-dimensional patterns and then seamed together. MIRACloth uses this approach. Working with 2D patterns is the simplest way of keeping an accurate, precise and measurable description and representation for a cloth surface. In the traditional garment and fashion design approach, garments are usually described as a collection of cloth surfaces, tailored in fabric material, along with the description of how these patterns should be seamed together to obtain the final garment. Our virtual garment design system reproduces this approach by providing a framework for accurately designing the patterns with the information necessary for their correct seaming and assembly. Subsequently, these are placed on the 3D virtual bodies and animated along with the virtual actor's motion. In the following sections, we describe the different components — mechanical model, numerical resolution, collision detection and collision response — to develop for the simulation of clothes, then, we provide the different steps and tasks involved in dressing virtual actors, constructing and animating garments on them.

Abstract:
Clothes are not only for body protection and covering, but they also have social and emotional aspects attached to them. For them to be appealing, they need to have a proper fit while remaining fashionable and aesthetically pleasing to the eye (Anderson, Brannon, Ulrich, Presley&Woronka, Grasso&Gray,2000; Yoo, 2003). Swaziland has a large population of plus-size women who are working in different departments and need to dress for the job on a daily basis. Their apparel sizing and fit preferences and problems are not known. This research investigates apparel sizing and fit preferences and problems of the plus-size Swazi working women. It concentrates specifically on the functional, aesthetic and economic fit preferences, as well as on determining size labelling preferences, knowledge and clothing styles preferences and problems. This was a descriptive study using a quantitative approach. Purposive sampling was used. This design was chosen as it focused on studying plus-size working women who were experiencing fit problems with the apparel they bought from local apparel retail shops. A survey using a questionnaire to collect data was done in exploring apparel sizing and fit problems and preferences of plus-size working women of Swaziland. A sample of plus-size Swazi working female teachers (n = 249) between the ages of 25 and 60 years who had indicated that they wore clothes of size 16 to 28+ or size 40 to 52+ participated in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to answer set objectives. The results of the study indicated that the plus-size Swazi working women preferred clothes that were functionally comfortable, fitted well and were made in comfortable fabric. They also indicated that they preferred clothes that were well sized, had a fit that was functional, sensually and emotionally pleasing in respect of style, the fabric used and comfort. The study also reflected that plus-size Swazi working women experienced sizing and fit problems in most of the apparel they bought from local retail outlets. A high number of the plus-size women consumers reported experiencing difficulty in finding clothes that were aesthetically pleasing. They could not find clothes that were fashionable in their size nor clothes that could satisfy their emotional and symbolic egos. A high number of respondents also indicated that they experienced a lot of fit problems on several areas of their bodies. The waist, hips, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms seemed to be the most problematic body areas respondents reported to be having fit problems. The lengths were also a challenge as most had problems with sleeve and pants length. Findings in this study also reflected that sizing in clothes was still a major problem for most of the plus-size consumers. Many of the respondents had problems understanding information on the size tags. The sizing systems were most probably confusing for the consumer as some came in varying numbers and letters. This study may contribute to a better understanding of sizing and fit preferences and problems experienced by the plussize Swazi working women with regard to work apparel. Consumers come in different shapes and sizes. The clothing producer has a task of ensuring that clothes are made to fit most of the prevailing figure types, rather than the common ideal figure.<br>Dissertation (MConsumer Science)--University of Pretoria, 2011.<br>Consumer Science<br>unrestricted

Abstract:
Since early the early 20th century the electrical tumble dryer became an appliance to dry clothes. During many years of improvements different configurations to solve issues on decreased drying time and more energy efficient solutions has been performed. Several different configurations have been developed; air vented dryers, condensing dryers and the most recent heat pump dryers. The heat pumps in drying technology became the next solution based on improved drying time and decreased energy consumption. With today’s focus on energy consumption, with energy demanding appliance such as the clothes dryer; new technology that satisfy the customers need must be available. By introducing the heat pump to the drying technology, a suitable refrigerant must be chosen. The choice should be based on several factors; the performance of the heat pump and the refrigerants GWP and ODP values, its toxicity and safety for the consumer. This report is based on a heat pump dryer made for an R134a system. R134a has a global warming potential (GWP) 1300 times the value of R744 (carbon dioxide). This report will present the feasibility of replacing the R134a system with a system designed for carbon dioxide as refrigerant. Carbon dioxide or R744 is a natural refrigerant, and it is in contrast to other commonly used refrigerants operating in the transcritical region. This implies that the heat rejection is performed with gliding temperature exchange, not by condensation as for the R134a. This is due to the low critical temperature of carbon dioxide; a critical pressure of 73.8 Bara and a critical temperature of 31.1&amp;#730;C. Despite the required high pressures, the heat exchange properties of carbon dioxide in the critical region are very good, and new technology can take advantage of this. By SINTEF developed simulation tool HX SIM Basic 2007, based on results from the R134a cycle, heat exchangers have been designed to reach the optimal solution. The capacity of the heat changers and the compressor will be the same as the R134a system. The system is built with a manual throttling valve in parallel to a capillary tube, during the experiments the system will be tested to find the most optimal set point. Evaporating pressures from 40 to 50 Bara and gas cooler pressures from critical pressures to 120 Bara have been applied in the experiments. The main purpose of the experiments is to find a system design that will fulfil both energy saving requirements and have a simple enough construction for it to be a market product. Based on the experiments on this first prototype and the results obtained; a conclusion is that the dryer with CO2 as refrigerant is using marginally more energy than the R134a system. However this is a first prototype and its potential should be investigated further.

Abstract:
Cerrillos is an Early to Middle Paracas civic-ceremonial site located in the upper Ica Valley of Perú. The site is known for its finely plastered adobe architecture, beautifully decorated ceramics, and complex textiles, many of which are decorated with camelid hair. Cerrillos was located in a strategically important place where the mountains meet the coastal desert and the Ica River bends south, a likely intersection in a road system that connected Cerrillos to contemporary sites in the Paracas region and beyond. This paper focuses on several early textiles, ceramics, and other artifacts, including ceramic palettes used for gold working and wooden earspools, that suggest that Cerrillos was involved in a cultural phenomenon or interaction sphere that linked sites as far away was Chavín de Huántar through the interchange of goods, beliefs, and practices. The paper presents a complete description of the textiles excavated at Cerrillos between 1999 and 2002, focusing on two fabric fragments with images of the Staff Deity and one with an abstract Chavín-like design. The ceramics discussed in the text demonstrate the wide variety of styles found at Cerrillos, including some that resemble the Janabarriu of Chavín de Huántar and several others that are either not Paracas or an Early Paracas style that has never been previously described.<br>Cerrillos es un sitio cívico-ceremonial con ocupación entre las épocas Paracas Temprano y Medio, localizado en el valle alto de Ica, Perú. Es conocido por su arquitectura de adobe enlucida de manera fina, cerámica bellamente decorada y textiles complejos, muchos de ellos decorados con fibra de camélido. Estuvo localizado en un lugar de importancia estratégica, donde las montañas se encuentran con el desierto costero y el río Ica gira hacia el sur, una probable intersección en un sistema de caminos que lo conectaba con sitios contemporáneos en la región de Paracas y más allá. Este artículo se enfoca en diversos textiles, cerámica y otros artefactos tempranos, entre ellos paletas de cerámica usadas para trabajar el oro y aretes en forma de argollas de madera, lo que sugiere que este complejo estaba involucrado en un fenómeno cultural o esfera de interacción que vinculaba sitios tan lejanos como Chavín de Huántar mediante el intercambio de bienes, creencias y prácticas. Este artículo presenta una completa descripción de los textiles excavados en Cerrillos entre 1999 y 2002, y se enfoca en dos fragmentos textiles, uno con imágenes del Dios de las Varas y el otro con un diseño abstracto parecido al chavín. La cerámica tratada en el texto demuestra la amplia variedad de estilos encontrados, entre ellos algunos que se parecen al Janabarriu de Chavín de Huántar y varios otros que no corresponden al estilo Paracas o que semejan un estilo Paracas Temprano que nunca antes ha sido descrito.

Abstract:
Urban monkeys came with unsavoury baggage, making a simian ancestry for mankind problematic. The poor perception stemmed from the slum-dwelling organ grinders infesting London’s streets, gin-drinking satyrs in Cross’s Menagerie, and from the ferocious baboons in the dog-fighting dens. Apes were little known, largely considered unintelligent, and the few zoo youngsters exposed to journalists were dressed in working-class clothes, emphasising their disreputable status. Worse still for pious folk, the biblical exegetics of Dr Adam Clarke had pointed to Eve’s tempter, not as a snake, but as an ape. This gave Saull’s suggestions of our ape origin an unacceptably Satanic ring.

Abstract:
AbstractReligious beliefs are central to the identity of many people, often signalled by their physical appearance, for example, clothing, hair or jewellery. If prevented from such a form of self-expression, some take action against what they consider a contravention of their human rights. The predominance of this discourse can obscure the possibility that there are others who are forced to signal a religious viewpoint which they may not subscribe to. This chapter explores the wearing of hijab by Afghan women who have lived in Australia less than 10 years. While some choose to wear hijab, there were others who spoke of being forced to wear hijab as a form of domestic violence. Furthermore, whereas for some, not wearing hijab represents a freedom to dress in accordance with their understandings of Australia as a secular society, a few felt that wearing clothes which marked them as Islamic increased the likelihood of attracting xenophobia and discrimination. Hence, for many women, decisions around hijab represented compromise between the demands of their family, the Afghan community and the wider Australian society, rather than a free choice. Consequently, if social workers assume women’s religious beliefs and identity are congruent with their appearance they may inadvertently be contributing to women’s oppression. As such, this chapter explores notions of anti-oppressive practice when working with Muslim women living in non-Muslim majority countries, particularly in respect of dress codes which are associated with Islam.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter sets the stage for the normative critique of the book by providing a descriptive account of sweatshop labour. To that end, it first historically contextualizes sweatshop labour as an early practice of industrial subcontracting. Modern sweatshops that emerged as the result of the globalization of supply chains from the 1960s onwards share important similarities with these early sweatshops, with regards to both the working conditions and the lack of accountability along (global) supply chains. The chapter outlines key characteristics of modern sweatshops, in particular their low wages, long hours, and dangerous and unhealthy working conditions. It demonstrates how these are embedded in, and sustained by, the structural conditions of global capitalism, gender oppression, imperialism, racism, and the global border regime.

Abstract:
One of actual global problem is clothes and packing materials biodegradability leading to tremendous water contamination. In order to develop ecologically friendly, game-changing in global industry fabric production, we propose a concept to implement kombucha. Kombucha is a symbiotic bacteria and yeast multispecies consortium producing the most abundant polymer on Earth - bacterial cellulose. There are many advantages of bacterial cellulose that are widely used in medicine, material science, food industry and waste management. Unfortunately: long time of bacterial cellulose polymerisation process, lack of its control, diversity in biological composition, finally, acidic smell and disturbances of kombucha growth - all this issues limit the interest of kombucha use to replace easy-accessible and widely applied synthetic materials. In this chapter will be described a revolutionary concept to develop practical and sustainable use of bacterial cellulose as natural alternative for synthetic materials, particularly for a synthetic fabrics and plastics replacement. The optimal cultivation conditions and examples of bacterial cellulose in applications for daily life will be explained.

Abstract:
The fashion industry is considered to be the second most polluting industry, largely due to the production model of fast fashion, which tends to maximize profits at the expense of the environment and workers’ rights. The development of technology and fast fashion are intertwined: The invention of the cotton gin pushed the world from the agricultural era toward the industrial revolution, and the invention of synthetic dyes created a demand for bright clothing. Today, technology plays a significant role in the marketing and sale of fast fashion. Social networks and trading applications have led to shortening the duration of wear and increase in the amount of clothes sold and thrown away shortly, mostly in the global south, presented as donation. At the same time, the development of technology is the main factor in the development of sustainable fashion; mostly in the fields of production efficiency, disposal of clothes, and increased transparency. This chapter highlights the most recent developments and trends in the field of sustainable, technology-based fashion. While reviewing the environmental consequences of fast fashion, as well as the historical connection between technology and fashion. This includes reference to fast fashion corporations and consumer protests that were distributed and operated by technological means.

Abstract:
Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in driving economic growth and absorbing labor. MSMEs' contribution to the Indonesian economy includes their ability to absorb 97% of the total workforce available. Tofu is one of Indonesia's micro, small, and medium enterprises. According to previous research results on posture assessment in the filtering workstation, the assessment workstation's working posture received a score of 13, indicating a very high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and necessitating immediate corrective action. This research aims to analyze workers' working times and motions. The research results show that the standard time for workers filtering tofu pulp using a swing is 31.21 minutes, while the standard time for workers filtering tofu pulp using a pressing cloth is 14.4 minutes. Based on the analysis of work motions using the Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards (MODAPTS) approach, 14 motions do not align with the principles of motion economy. We can take several measures to ensure alignment of motions with the principles of motion economy and reduce the risk of MSDs, such as eliminating rotational and walking movements, simplifying movements by relocating work facilities to the left and right of the workers, and designing a filtering machine.

Abstract:
Fire protective clothing is crucial in many applications, in military/government (Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Law Enforcement) and industry (working with furnaces, casting, machining and welding). Fire resistant clothes provide protection to those who are at risk for exposure to fire hazards (intense heat and flames) and provide inert barrier between the skin and fire and shields the user from direct exposure to fire and irradiation. Flame retardant and chemical protective apparel consumption was 997 million m2 in 2015. This market size expected to grow more due to substantial increase in military and industrial demand. Advanced materials have long history in these areas to protect human life against the hazards. There are two main application techniques for producing fire resistant clothing: 1) Using fire retardant materials directly in the textile, and 2) Spray coating on the garments. Over the time these physically and chemically treated cloths begin to degrade and become less protective due to UV and moisture exposure, abrasion, wear, and laundry effects which will shorten the useful wear life of those cloths. The study compared the improved fire resistance of fabrics when treated with recycled graphene solution.

Abstract:
Industrial safety clothing is supposed to have capability to adjust its inside microclimate, to protect the human body from dangerous environments, and to improve productivity. So, it is important to select proper materials, forms, and wearing methods of work-clothes. Agricultural Safety Clothing (ASC) should protect the human body from environmental conditions such as cold, heat, and humidity as well as from working conditions. Agricultural Safety Clothing should also enhance the safety, comfort, and efficiency of works. However, they have increased the use of pesticide to harvest more crops, which has caused various side effects, and insects have become resistant to pesticides. For these issues, we aimed to develop the newly agricultural safety clothing based on highly technology finish textiles, and to estimate pesticide protective performance properties. And we were to evaluate the pesticide barrier property and safety performance properties of newly designed ASC being made with high-tech proof finish spun-laced nonwoven fabrics. The results of this study were as follows: 1). New high-tech proof finished ASC has respectively negligible or sometimes inconclusive amount of pesticide residue. Hence, newly designed ASC with high-tech proof finish fabrics was evaluated as the safety ASC better than the conventional safety clothing.

Abstract:
In each area of activity, an employer must face and deal with novelties concerning materials, technologies, equipment, know- how, IT applications and software, which help him/ her complete specific tasks. Also, companies are struggling to diversify their products, to adapt them to the market demands and to cope with competition. For this reason, companies need to invest, develop and update their technology, equipment and to train their employees. In clothing companies, there is a big variety of CAD systems which are used for the same purpose: the elaboration of the technical documentation. Under these circumstances, the employees must learn the new functions and tools specific to the new software in a very short time and solve their usual activities by using the new software, with accuracy and professionalism. This paper presents interactive lessons about how to teach/ learn different software (for clothing industry), suitable for all persons who are working in the design field and who are forced to adapt to new situations in their professional life. As these lessons contain comparative demonstrations, learners can understand how to select and use the commands for designing clothes or apparel products in a proper manner, and which are the correct sequences of commands used for doing the same task in the CAD systems taken into consideration. These e-learning lessons offer learners the possibility of achieving their goals by themselves or in small groups, according to their purpose or needs.

Abstract:
The production and consumption of clothing products is characterised by rapid and continuous cycles of purchase, use and disposal of clothes, which leads to several environmental and social impacts. In order to change this reality and promote sustainability, this sector has to undergo deep transformations (Fletcher &amp;amp; Grose, 2011). In this context, designers play a significant role. In addition to being in the position of decision-making about materials and methods used in the productive process, the questions raised by sustainability demand design skills (Brown, 2010; Gwilt &amp;amp; Rissanen, 2011; Fletcher &amp;amp; Grose, 2011). However, the role reserved to fashion designers in this context is “more complex than traditional design activities” (Fletcher &amp;amp; Grose, 2011, p. 162). Design practice for sustainability demands different competences from the designer. In view of that, this paper explores the competences in design and fashion design for sustainability, and aims at verifying similarities and differences between them, in order to analyse the knowledge inherent to sustainability through design thinking. The methodology used for the study was deductive, conducted through qualitative exploratory research, outlined by bibliographic research and developed based on several books about design, fashion and sustainability. The identification of the competences took four aspects into account: types of thinking, types of knowledge (know what to do and why), skills (know-how) and attitudes (be willing to do). Design and fashion design competences for sustainability were compiled separately and then compared for similarities and differences. As a result, we found that great part of design competences are important for sustainable practices: approximately 58% of attitudes, 36% of thinking, 58% of knowledges and 41% of design skills are common to sustainable fashion design competences. The comparison shows the importance of attitudes to the work with sustainability – once its addition was significant –, and the need of acquiring specific knowledge of fashion design for sustainability. Research also shows that, for a professional with design competence, the development of thinking and skills needed for working with fashion design for sustainability is easier.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3266

Abstract:
The conservation and restoration of archaeological woven fabrics are faced with many practical challenges. In case of damask fabrics, besides the identification of structural characteristics of the woven fabric, one of these challenges is referred to the reconstruction of the ornamental depiction. In the attempt to obtain a better correlation between the structural characteristics and ornamental depiction of damask fabrics, the traditional working techniques are based too much on subjectivity of archaeological understanding and interpreting of the textile conservator-restorer. The digital techniques can create a scaled unit of repeat of damask design and can simulate ultra realist the damask fabric, thus saving time, money, effort and other valuable resources. The paper presents the results of research on one monochrome silk damask woven in Italy from about the 16-17th centuries. The large scale of the pattern, richly ornamented with stylized vegetal motifs which show the Far East influence, was used extensively for home textiles, especially for curtains and wallpapers, but as well in fashion clothes. A detailed photographic documentation of the damask fragments was made for the stage of reconstruction of scaled unit of repeat. For this purpose was used a graphic art software to obtain the motifs configurations, which then, like the pieces of a puzzle, have been arranged in the damask repeat pattern. In order to simulate the damask fabric were used the programs ArahPaint and ArahWeave of integrated software Arahne CAD/CAM for weaving. At the beginning, the damask repeat pattern was designed and saved in ArahPaint program. To create the two-dimensional simulation of woven fabric, the damask repeat pattern was imported in the Jacquard conversion window of ArahWeave program and have been introduced all structural characteristics of the fabric, previously determined by using non-destructive methods of evaluation. This paper aims to draw attention to the digital reconstruction of archaeological woven fabric not only as a method for the dissemination of research findings, but further, as a viable possibility to be woven.

Abstract:
Abstract The hydrodynamic behavior of a plane fabric filter was investigated. The emphasis was put on the influence of cloth weave onto flow structure downstream from the filtering media. Experiments were performed on a 50:1 scaled-up glass model of a 3-ply twill textile sample used in water treatment applications. Air was used as working fluid. The Reynolds similarity criterion was applied to design the experimental facility used throughout this work. This entailed a mean flow velocity of 0.07 m/s. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was used to observe and analyze the flow structure past inter-yarn pore models of various shape. Comparisons of mean velocity profiles upstream and downstream from the model were made to determine the distance over which wake effects remain noticeable case depending.

Abstract:
This contribution presents the functionalities and multimedia contents of the e-learning module on virtual prototyping of garments within the ERASMUS+ project entitled e-Learning Course for Innovative Textile Fields - Advan2Tex. Use of advanced information technologies and systems can assure the textile and garment manufacturing companies competitive advantages, such as high and constant quality of products, productivity, flexibility, and quick response to the requirements of fashion and market. A wide range of new technologies, above all those using fascinating possibilities of computer graphics, together with a new generation of computer based systems, assure the textile companies the ability to react extremely fast to the customer demands offering quality and future-oriented services. This enables greater commercial presence and contributes to company's better marketing position. The universities, research institutions and software producers apply nowadays a whole range of new technologies to create the advanced computer solutions that will in the future support the whole cycle starting from the virtual design of fabric and garments through automated production up to virtual merchandising. Therefore, the students and textile professionals, already working in textile industries, should be given the knowledge needed for successful work with the new technologies, which will contribute to developing the textile information society of the future. This module of the e-learning course for innovative textile field informs the readers and course participants about new emerging technologies, which have a great potential for the textile-related industries: virtual prototyping of garments and 3D scanning. After a short introduction a chapter on recent advances in computer-aided technologies for textile applications starts this module. The most widely used CA* technologies are briefly described together with some new technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, 3D scanning and 3D printing. CIM concept of the factories of the future is presented. The third chapter deals with the simulation of specific mechanical properties of textiles. Geometrical, physical and hybrid cloth models are presented together with explanation graphics. Virtual reproduction of mechanical behaviour of textile forms uses the mechanical properties, measured by the measuring systems for objective evaluation of textile fabrics and different models for simulation of textiles. Modelling and simulation of virtual humans is presented in the fourth chapter. The chapter starts with 3D scanning describing the special equipment for capturing the human body in both standing and sitting postures. Reconstruction techniques needed for assuring the reliable 3D body models are described. These models can be then used for importing in commercial CAD/PDS systems. The fifth chapter introduces the garment prototyping and virtual fitting technologies. Described are all the attributes required for virtual prototyping of garments. This chapter also informs about the virtual fitting of garments for people with special physical needs - paraplegics. The results of several studies on this important topic are included at the end of the chapter. Each chapter has a list of used literature. The module is concluded by the Summary and multiple choice questions of three levels of difficulty.
