자연 이미지를 활용한 헤어디자인 제안 연구

In October 2022, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea confirmed that school regulations regarding hair length infringe upon students’ rights. Back in 1982, the Ministry of Education introduced ‘Hairdo Freedom’. Since then, the regulations have been adjusted in response to social changes. Nonetheless, witnessing such regulations being lifted remains exceptional. In fact, there have been various discussions regarding regulations for employees as well as students. These changes indicate that our society has transitioned from an era of ‘respect for human rights’ to an era of ‘respect for individuality’. The respect for individuality forms the foundation for the ground for the growth of beauty industry. This necessitates a high level of professionalism in each field because consumers seek out experts who can distinguish themselves with unique styling skills and expertise. Consequently, beauty corporations have strived to introduce new styles on a quarterly or annual basis, while small businesses have also been releasing their own styles. In this new era of information and communications technology (ICT), consumers access information about these experts through their mobile devices. Therefore, it is the right time to develop new and creative ideas to effectively respond to such changes. Throughout the extensive history of art, nature has served as a focal point for aesthetic inspiration. In fact, it holds great symbolic significance as an art motif in design because it offers a wealth of unique images that can inspire people to create imaginative artworks. These days, the trend-sensitive beauty industry has experienced an increase in demand for distinctive and creative designs. Given these circumstances, it seems that nature could serve as a creative and distinctive source of inspiration. Therefore, this study proposes practical hairstyles inspired by such natural images.

Sustainable and eco-friendly 3D printing filament fabricated from different recycled solid wastes and evaluate its impact on interior and furniture design

A designer's work is based on creativity, innovation, and fresh ideas therefore, they are constantly searching for creative designs, especially when it comes to furniture and internal design. Meanwhile, innovative materials and ideas are actively sought after by designers for usage in furniture and interior design. In this scope, our study explores the practical implications of using date palm fronds and plastic waste from drinking water bottle to create a composite with varying loadings of date palm frond nanoparticles (DPFNP) at 10, 20, and 30 wt % and its applications on furniture design. A desktop extruder was used to form the composites into filaments, which were subsequently used to create 3D-printed specimens. The impact of adding (DPFNP) on the composite's mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties was assessed. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) drinking water bottle waste, and filament composites presented similar FTIR spectra; however, filament composites presented increased thermal stability and mechanical strength. The filament with 10 wt% DPFNP has been effectively printed with a 3D printer, demonstrating the practicality of employing the developed filaments and perhaps encouraging new uses in furniture and interior design. As a result, employing DPFNP in the recycled PET (RPET) matrix offers a cheap substitute for making filaments. It could increase the use of 3D printing in furniture and interior design by using more environmentally friendly materials. This result will be considered the first phase of future research investigation on a full-scale furniture prototype, examining its physical, thermal, and mechanical properties.

Optimizing dimensions in furniture design: A literature review

Wooden furniture design necessitates the integration of both technological requirements and aesthetic considerations. To guide designers in achieving this balance, this article explores how established design principles, such as proportions and preferred numerical sequences, can inform decision-making for both technological and aesthetic aspects. The goal is to demonstrate how these principles can be integrated with modern CAD tools. In reviewing the scientific literature, this study compiled and compared mathematical and non-mathematical models that support dimensional decision-making. These models included ancient canons (Egyptian, Greek, and Roman) alongside those of Leonardo da Vinci, Palladio, Dürer, Le Corbusier, Zeising, McCallum, and Brock. Additionally, the article examines numeral systems used in modern technology, such as Renard’s series and convenient numbers. It is proposed that designers should experiment with geometric design templates to achieve balanced proportions. All geometric design principles contribute to aesthetics, creativity and effectiveness in design. The literature identifies two groups of dimensional design templates: organic, inspired by the human body or the Fibonacci sequence, and inorganic, based on numerical order. It’s impossible to pinpoint a single “optimal algorithm” to support dimensional decisions in design. Specific geometric design principles serve as valuable tools, not the ultimate answer.

The necessity of job design for employee creativity and innovation: nothing happens without supervisor support

ABSTRACT Job design is a favourable antecedent of discretionary innovative work behaviours (IWB). Although multiple job characteristics (i.e., job demands and job resources) define the work environment, only a few are supposed to be of dominant and critical importance for employee creativity and innovation. By complementing the common sufficient causality with necessity theorizing, we explored the creativity-enabling and innovation-enabling nature of the Job Demands – Control – Support (JDCS) model components. A multi-method approach (i.e., multiple regression, relative importance analysis, and necessary condition analysis) was applied in a comparative contextualized research design (i.e., a three-study field survey research) involving 358 employees and 86 supervisors from an EU member country. The converging results showed that without experiencing vitally important support from a supervisor, enhancing other job characteristics will not lead to high levels of subordinate’s IWB. The present research also recognized work autonomy as an additional task-related critical success factor, which was only necessary when considering employee innovation as a frequently occurring time-lagged outcome. Contrary to our theory-derived assumptions, job complexity as a representative type of job demand was not necessary for IWB. Practitioners may benefit from the findings because they can better understand the prerequisites and priorities for enabling employees’ IWB via job design.

Spectrally-Selective and High-Resolution Visualization Detection of UVR Based on Efficient Photo-Oxidation

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is like a double-edged sword, which has dual significance to human life and health. Current UV sensors struggle to accurately discriminate and quantify UVA, B, and C simultaneously. Additionally, common colorimetric sensors have low visualization resolution. Herein, we constructed a ratiometric fluorescent UVR sensing strategy with spectrally-selective, accuracy, significant color change, and adjustable sensitivity based on the photo-induced fluorescence quenching properties of carbon dots (CDs) and the photosensitization of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). For daily UVR monitoring, a portable fluorescence reader is developed, which can simultaneously detect dose and intensity. Unlike conventional radiometers, it can sensitively and rapidly discriminate and quantify UVA, B, and C in complex light sources at a lower cost (< 100 $). To ensure the safety of UVR use, wearable fluorescent film sensors (< 0.5 $/piece) we developed for real-time visual monitoring of the cumulative dose of UVA/B during UV phototherapy. Considering individuals with color vision deficiency, we propose a strategy to transform “color analysis” into “count analysis” through creative design, making quantification easier. CDs-PPIX composite offers great potential for UVR detection in our daily lives due to its excellent performance.

Perceptual model for semantic representation of design futures practice cases: Towards the development of a design futures repository

Various media and forms of cases or works have promoted the development and dissemination of "Design Futures", making empirical research focusing on practical cases not only valuable but also urgently needed. While heuristic case libraries enhance creativity and efficiency in traditional design, a resource library for Design Futures has not been established. To fill this gap, our preliminary work includes clarifying the perception of cases by different practitioners through semantic representation to establish a perceptual model. In this paper, we propose the typology of Design Futures practice cases. Using desktop research, expert selection, and empirical methods, we constructed a semantic perceptual space and further extracted it into four categories. Combining multivariate statistical techniques and related visualization methods, we examined the distinctions and relationships between semantic words, dimensions, cases, and their types. We have finally established the perceptual model for semantic representation of design futures practice cases, with 4 main perception dimensions (critical, wellbeing, conceptual, and technological) and 13 key semantics, and explored in depth the implications these semantics may contain individually. We further explored the potential of the model in developing a case library. In summary, our research findings provide a framework for representing, retrieving, and evaluating practice cases and support the development of a Design Futures Repository.
