Abstract
With the promotion of education informatization in colleges and universities, virtual simulation technology is increasingly
used in experimental teaching. In the teaching of fashion-related majors, virtual simulation technology can help students
quickly and efficiently understand design theories, which are difficult for them to understand. However, due to the
complexity of the virtual simulation experiment, it is difficult for students to master all the techniques required for the
operation of the experimental system in a short time. In traditional teaching, students passively accept knowledge taught
by the teacher and follow the teacher's operation, thereby affecting the learning effect. Such teaching and learning
process cannot fully functionalize students' sensory system coding, and therefore cannot form long-term memory. To
optimize the application of virtual simulation technology in the teaching of fashion-related majors, this paper proposes a
clothing virtual simulation experimental teaching method based on Gagné information processing theory. To verify its
effectiveness, anthropometry and virtual clothing design experiment was adopted as the research object. Two groups of
students were involved in the experiments. One group was taught traditionally while another group was taught by the
Gagné information processing mode. Through a set of learning and teaching process evaluation, experiment results
demonstrated that Gagné information processing mode can effectively help students to fine-process the knowledge they
have learned, so that important information can be extracted and encoded to form long-term memory. This paper
provides support for future Gagné information processing theory in the teaching of virtual simulation courses and
exercises.

Abstract
The application of new tools and equipment in conventional spinning has increased with the advancements in
operations, handling and optimal yarn production. For example, in the centrifugal electrospinning process (CESP), the
rotor is assembled for its high-speed production. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to introduce a new rotor design
with a triangular groove structure and to investigate its influence on the fast industrial manufacturing of polyethylene
oxide (PEO) nanofibers. In addition, electric voltage (45 kV, 55 kV, 65 kV), concentrations of the spinning solution of
PEO polymer (6 wt. %, 7 wt. % and 8 wt. %) and the flow rate of the spinning solution were analysed at different levels
(45 ml/h, 55 ml/h, 65 ml/h). The subsequent PEO nanofibers were characterized through a scanning electron
microscope (FESEM). It was observed that the diameter of PEO nanofibers changed with the variation in voltage,
concentration and flow rate. The results revealed the best and uniform fibre diameter dimension at 65 kV, with an 8 wt.%
solution concentration and flow rate of 55 ml/h. The outcomes also implied that the proposed triangular groove rotor was
an efficient approach for the improvement in the nano fibres with its high uniformity as compared to the conventional
structure (rectangular rotor structure).

Abstract
Education and health are considered a cornerstone for obtaining targeted development in any society. Moreover, both
sectors promote prosperity greatly. In this changeable epoch, people are thought out as the real wealth of any nation
and this wealth with good human capital serves the economy very efficiently and productively. This research study aims
to analyse how Development Assistance Committee (DAC) aid commitment for education along with institutional quality
is effective for the human development of selected Asian economies. A panel data set over 2011–2018 is used for this
analysis in Asian countries. GMM results show a significant and positive relationship between aid commitment for
education and the human development of these economies. A more interesting result is that financial development
seems to boost up human deployment in the selected Asian economies. The development of the textile industry is
significantly influenced by education, especially considering the effects of OECD's Development Assistance Committee
(DAC) Aid Commitments for education on human development in Asian countries. There is a dire need to reconsider
more allocation of resources and aid to education and health to utilize these inflows at the maximum level for targeted
development.

Abstract
The “top-down” approach was adopted to manufacture nano inkjet inks. Pigment Black 7 and Pigment Red 122 both
100% dried powders were used. The premix of these two pigments was subjected to bead milling to reduce the particle
size to the nano-scale. The inkjet inks prepared were characterized for their particle size, zeta potential, purity, viscosity,
surface tension, foaming properties, and pH using required analysis and spectroscopy techniques. Both inkjet inks were
applied digitally on pre-treated cotton. The printing was performed on a Monna Lisa Evo Tre printer (EPSON). The
printed samples were evaluated for colour fastness to light, rubbing, washing, and laundering using relevant AATCC and
ISO methods. The powders of the same colour index numbers were kneaded and emulsified by a traditional ball milling
method. Emulsions prepared were characterized and applied on singed, desized, scoured, bleached, and pre-treated
pure cotton through a traditional rotary screen-printing method. The printed samples were evaluated for their application
fastness properties for comparative studies. It was concluded that by promoting the use of green chemistry and
nanotechnology, the digitally printed fabric samples displayed better print quality, increased application fastness
properties and good colour gamut as compared to traditionally printed fabric samples. Moreover, the new digital printing
process resulted in reduced chemical, energy and water consumption along with socio-economic, environmentally
friendly effectiveness, with almost zero waste production as compared to the traditional printing method.

Abstract
To improve somatotype and realize rapid customization of clothing, this study proposed a body-shape recognition
method based on the front and side body photos. The shape parameters such as angles, heights, lengths, and ratios at
the waist-abdomen-hip position were measured or calculated based on the manual and three-dimensional (3D) point
cloud data of 180 young men. Through analysis, four morphological parameters were determined to classify the
waist-abdomen-hip shape and establish the classification rules of the four body types (fat, normal, forward fat and
obese). Finally, according to the front and side photos of the human body, the orthogonal silhouettes were extracted to
obtain the four parameters that can be used to distinguish the waist-abdomen-hip body shape of young men, and the
photo-based recognition method of the waist-abdomen-hip body shape could be realized automatically. The verification
results showed that the recognition accuracy ratio reaches 93.3%, indicating that the waist-abdomen-hip shape
identification system using this body-shape recognition method based on body photos is effective and can provide a
basis for personalized clothing customization to satisfy the individual needs of the consumers.

Article: Sensory analysis and Principal Component Analysis: a sustainable approach for quality control of stretch denim fabrics

Abstract
This study proposes a simplified approach to optimise the portfolio of denim manufacturers by reducing the cost of
unattractive or undifferentiated assortments for future consumers based on their ability to perceive and discriminate
sensory comfort. A key factor in a successful textile value chain is end consumers, who can be considered naive
evaluators when it comes to sensory analysis, as they tend to touch apparel fabrics to perceive the sensory comfort they
feel when wearing them. In this context, 16 naive assessors were recruited to quantitatively characterise six bipolar
sensory attributes as hand descriptors of an assortment of five washed stretch denim fabrics based on tactile properties.
Statistical analysis of the extensive data was performed using the multivariate technique PCA. Two principal components
that explained 70.46% to 76.67% of the total observed variance for the five washed denim fabrics provided an adequate
summary of the sensory data reported, so relationships between sensory attributes as hand descriptors and ratings
given by the 16 untrained assessors were examined. Statistical tests showed that all six bipolar attributes were important
for sensory analysis and that inter-rater agreement was low. However, considering the sensory perception of the
untrained evaluators (i.e., consumers), it was concluded that four of the five washed stretch denim fabrics could be an
option for product portfolio diversification. Thus, from a strategic and sustainability perspective, PCA for sensory analysis
may be helpful in the quality control of washed stretch denim.

Abstract
To understand the influence of flat collar, closure collar, and shawl collar on the perceptual impression of women's suits,
12 pairs of adjectives used to describe the collar type of suits were determined by using the method of perceptual
engineering and semantic difference. With the help of virtual fitting technology, 22 kinds of suit simulation pictures were
drawn. Through the questionnaire survey, this paper studied the perceptual evaluation of different collar types of
women's suits and then used the mean statistics and corresponding factor analysis to process the survey data. The
results show that 1) the factors of stability, elegance, and style have influenced the collar design of women's suits;
2) different collars brought consumers different emotional feelings, for example, the shawl collar was simple and soft,
the flat collar was professional, closure collar was elegant. The results can be used to guide the design of the female
suit collar.

Abstract
The textile industry of Pakistan is a growing sector that contributes to the economy. Pakistan exports depend heavily
upon textile goods. A minor defect in the finished good can cause a major loss of the export goods. Due to the involving
the number of workers checking the product repeatedly can be very expensive therefore the quality engineering
techniques of Statistical Control Charts are used in the textile industry. This research study aims at developing process
control charts for the textile industry in Pakistan. For this purpose, the textile industry was taken into consideration.
P-chart was developed to monitor the variation in the process with a Six Sigma standard deviation. The collection of
data was for six months from various departments of the textile industry. The attribute data were collected for the
analysis from 4 different units of the industry. The construction of the P-Chart includes the Control Limits (CL), Upper
Control Limits (UCL), 3 sigma deviations from the mean Control Limit (CL), Lower Control Limits (LCL), –3 sigma
deviation from the mean Control Limit (CL). The result showed that the processes of the production units were under
control, however, the mean was not centred which was due to some common cause of the process which is acceptable.
The P-chart can serve as a standard for the new process to be developed.

Abstract
Compression socks regulate blood flow in venous systems and are used for therapeutic purposes. The present study,
it was aimed to analyse the influence of multiple levels of wearing and washing temperature on compression pressure.
9 pieces of compression socks samples with 3 different combinations (with different polyamide/ elastane body and inlaid
yarn) were developed using compression socks knitting machine with a 1×1 laid in, 1×1 knit-miss structure. After the
production of the samples, to simulate the “wearing and washing effect” a test protocol was designed. Compression
pressure values were measured by using MST Professional II Medical Stocking Tester in different phases and results
were evaluated statistically. The results show that when compression socks are worn for 15 days and washed 5 times,
their compression pressure and graduation values change. After wearing compression socks on wooden leg pressure
values shows a slight decrease due to a long period of stretching. In addition, after wearing and washing cycles it is
seen that the pressure values increase as the washing temperature increases. 50˚C results show the highest increase
at compression pressure. Statistical results show a correlation between temperature and compression pressure. Many
researches were carried out on the production factors of compression socks, however, there are very few research
studies on the usage performance of socks. The study contains results for both the literature and the producers/end
users.

Abstract
Seam strength is a key factor both in terms of aesthetics and the life of the apparel. There are many factors affecting
seam strength, some of which are relevant to fabric construction and treatment, and the others are about sewing thread
and sewing parameters. This research paper focuses on the effects of fabric construction, sewing parameters and the
dyeing process on the seam strength of knitted fabrics. For this purpose, seven single jersey knitted fabrics were
produced, differing in loop length and yarn twist. The samples were dyed and then sewn with different sewing
parameters. The seam strength values were calculated and statistically evaluated. The results showed that fabric
construction, sewing thread type and count, stitch density and dyeing process profoundly influence the seam strength
of single jersey fabrics. When comparing the effects of dyeing, it was found that dyeing leads to a decrease in seam
strength values.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyse the normal and abnormal loss of a jeans manufacturing company in India. Personal
interview and observation method are used in this study. Abnormal loss in quantity and rupee value is computed for
40 days of production based on the observed data. Mean abnormal losses are computed and one sample t-test is
applied to test the hypotheses that the mean abnormal loss is not equal to zero. The study revealed that a normal loss
of 3 to 5% is expected in any garment manufacturing company due to loss during the cutting and shrinkage process.
The p-values of one sample t-test were less than 0.05 for all the tested hypotheses, hence, all the null hypotheses
(H01 to H05 mean abnormal losses equal to zero) were rejected. Further, it was found that fabric is the big contributor in
terms of abnormal loss. Hence, proper training for workers and recruiting of trained workers are advised to reduce
abnormal losses.

Abstract
Theory of constraints (TOC) is an approach to production planning and control by focusing on the constraints of an
organization to increase throughput by effectively managing constraints. TOC approach has been applied in many
sectors, and efficient results have been taken. One of the application areas of TOC is product mix decisions. Product
mix decisions are important for multi-product manufacturing systems because they affect the performance measures of
the companies. This study aims to present how TOC is applied to determine the optimum product mix in a multipleconstraint
environment in the textile industry. To achieve this, we first select three basic products of a textile company
and examine the production processes of these products from TOC perspective. Next, we perform a bottleneck process
and identify three bottlenecks for the problem. Then, based on our bottleneck process results, we generate three
scenarios. Upon assessing these scenarios, we determine the most appropriate product mix by implementing the TOC
approach. Finally, we employ a goal programming approach to solve the product mix problem and compare its results
with those obtained by the TOC.

Abstract
Sutures are used in surgery to approximate wounds for the healing purpose after injury or elective interventions or for
hemostasis ligation. During the millennial evolution of sutures, natural fibres have been almost completely replaced by
synthetic materials. Experience from the last years has shown that silk and catgut chromium threads are natural fibres
still used in surgical theatres, but they might have registered a decrease in preferences due to inflammatory response.
Despite the continuous improvement in this field, there is not a perfect universal suture affordable and right for every
patient. There are rare, but possible complications such as local irritation, foreign body response, granulomas or fistulas.
Various studies conducted over time, some presented in this paper, have shown that actual surgical threads are safe
and taking into account the indications, we should obtain maximum results with minimum adverse reactions. An ideal
combination of delayed absorption and elasticity allows a tension-free closure and supports the healing process of most
tissues and makes the surgical thread a preferred option for surgeons. The purpose of this article is to overview the
suturing materials and to optimise surgical techniques by increasing the benefits of each suture material with minimal
adverse reactions.

Abstract
Due to recent developments in composite formulations and coating technology, polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated textiles
are becoming increasingly popular in the textile industry. The most critical properties of PVC-coated textiles are their
mechanical characteristics and morphological properties because they control their cost well. This study focuses on the
impact of filler diameter and content on the mechanical properties of the PVC foam layer used for coated textiles stuffed
with calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The mechanical properties of the PVC foamed layer (breaking load, tearing strength
and elongation at break) were studied. The applied contents were found to significantly influence the mechanical
properties of the PVC foamed layer. The addition of CaCO3 fillers improved their mechanical properties. The results also
showed that mechanical properties were enhanced using calcium carbonate with different particle sizes; the smallest
particle size gave the highest mechanical resistance. The morphology of the different samples showed that the
employment of calcium carbonate increases foam formation. A higher CaCO3 content can deteriorate the PVC foam
layer structure. Using a small filler particle diameter decreased pore sizes and ameliorated the regularity in pore size
distribution.

Abstract
In recent years, the emergence of online platforms specializing in upcycling fashion marketing has provided affordable
markets in line with the changing expectations of environmentally conscious consumers. This research applies
questionnaires to collect data on consumers' intentions to purchase upcycling fashion products and aims to identify
consumers' green behaviour. The results showed that there is a growing awareness among all generations of
respondents about the use of upcycled fashion products and revealed that social influence, attitude, perceived risk,
environmental concern, and usefulness have a significant positive impact on consumer purchase intention towards
these products. This research can help the upcycling fashion business in Romania figure out how green consumer
behaviour can improve the flexibility of specialized online platforms so that marketing strategies can be made.
