PENINGKATAN KREATIVITAS SENI DALAM DESAIN BUSANA

Creativity in cloth designing is one of aspects to improve fashion products. The products in garment industry include many kinds of clothes in the markets, such as women's, men's, children's and adults' clothes for many occasions like parties' and work's clothes. To compete in the markets, fashion designers have to be creative in designing the clothes. Creativity is new ideas in designing to create novel designs and products suitable with the current trends. To trigger creativity in the learning of fashion design, the role of learning sources is important so that the students get inspired by the novelties to create new fashion. The learning sources include electronic media (TV, video and the internet), printed media (fashion books and magazines, tabloids, and newspapers) as well as direct sources observed in daily life. Varied learning sources will improve creativity in fashion design learning. Key words: learning sources, creativity, cloth design

To Foster Creativity and Success, Remove Intentional and Unintentional Discrimination

This paper examines the benefits of diversity to the organization – such as innovation, growth, and creativity – as well as the challenges to diversity, including both the obvious, well-known forms of discrimination and the more subtle forms. The subtle forms of discrimination include not hiring people who are unattractive, overweight, short, have speech impediments, have strange names, and/or wear different kinds of clothing. The authors conclude that it is crucial to strive for a diverse workforce and work on eliminating both intentional and unintentional bias. Any country or organization that wants to prosper in today’s Knowledge/Creative Economy must train its people to welcome those who are different. In addition, it is important to level the playing field at birth so that rich and poor have the same opportunities.

The geography of weaving in early nineteenth-century south India

Most research on the handloom industry is focused upon the export trade and production for export, and, by extension, upon the Coromandel Coast. This article, by contrast, explores the physical and human geography of weaving for the ‘domestic’ market in the ‘inland’ regions of south India. Using visual sources such as Company paintings, together with archival materials and statistical data, it reconstructs everyday modes of dress and clothing in the early nineteenth century in order to obtain a picture of the ‘kinds’ of cloth produced: this analysis shows that the largest proportion was white or predominantly white, and of coarse to middling quality. It goes on to map different systems of cloth production, and the pattern of weaver settlements, and shows that both were significantly different from those described for the Coromandel Coast. In the inland regions, coarse and durable kinds of cloth were woven almost everywhere by plebeian weavers scattered through the countryside; patterned and fine varieties were woven by specialist, full-time weavers who usually lived in large settlements. The article describes a diversity of markets and production systems, unpicks the meanings of part-time and full-time work, and their significance. The data and analysis serve to complicate the debate on the nature of the textile economy in early modern India.

Learning a Tracking and Estimation Integrated Graphical Model for Human Pose Tracking.

We investigate the tracking of 2-D human poses in a video stream to determine the spatial configuration of body parts in each frame, but this is not a trivial task because people may wear different kinds of clothing and may move very quickly and unpredictably. The technology of pose estimation is typically applied, but it ignores the temporal context and cannot provide smooth, reliable tracking results. Therefore, we develop a tracking and estimation integrated model (TEIM) to fully exploit temporal information by integrating pose estimation with visual tracking. However, joint parsing of multiple articulated parts over time is difficult, because a full model with edges capturing all pairwise relationships within and between frames is loopy and intractable. In previous models, approximate inference was usually resorted to, but it cannot promise good results and the computational cost is large. We overcome these problems by exploring the idea of divide and conquer, which decomposes the full model into two much simpler tractable submodels. In addition, a novel two-step iteration strategy is proposed to efficiently conquer the joint parsing problem. Algorithmically, we design TEIM very carefully so that: 1) it enables pose estimation and visual tracking to compensate for each other to achieve desirable tracking results; 2) it is able to deal with the problem of tracking loss; and 3) it only needs past information and is capable of tracking online. Experiments are conducted on two public data sets in the wild with ground truth layout annotations, and the experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed TEIM framework.

Good Hijabi, Bad Hijabi: The Politics of Women's Clothing in Iran

Abstract This paper seeks to examine the revolution in women’s clothing in Iran under different systems of governance, starting from the time immediately before the Pahlavi dynasty to modern day Iran. This is to show how the ever-changing systems of governance of the country coerced Iranian women into dressing in accordance with the political agenda at the time. This paper showcases women taking a stand against the system of governance before, during, and after the Iranian Revolution (18th to 21st century) by developing a subculture that does not confine them to certain kind of clothing. Instead, they mixed their personality with what they chose to wear, often identifying themselves as ‘bad hijabis’ for defying the status quo to make their own political statement.

The Relationship Between Wet Bulb Globe Temperature and Physiological Strain Index in Muslim Women in Hot-Dry Condition in the Climatic Chamber

Background: The heat strain is one of the consequences of heat exposure in the work place. Different factors such as dry, wet, and radiant temperature, the intensity of physical activity, the kind of clothing, and the percentage of body covering affect the heat strain. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the wet bulb globe temperature and the physiological strain index in Muslim women in hot-dry condition in the climate chamber. Patients and Methods: This experimental study was performed on 30 healthy Muslim women with wearing Islamic clothing in two hot-dry climatic conditions with wet bulb globe temperature index (WBGT) of 32℃ ± 0.1℃ and 30℃ ± 0.1℃ respectively in sitting and light workload. The WBGT, oral temperature, and heart rate (HR) were measured. The data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests. Results: The results showed that the average HR at resting, sitting (32℃ ± 0.1℃), and light workload (30℃ ± 0.1℃) were 78.52 ± 12.10, 69.74 ± 11.98, and 110.78 ± 17.91 beat/min, respectively. The average of ear canal temperature was estimated at 36.70℃ ± 0.36℃ for sitting workload and at 36.71℃ ± 0.27℃ light workload. Conclusions: The findings of this study illustrated that the average HR and the core temperature measured in both sitting and light workload in hot-dry climatic condition were less than the threshold limit values established by the national institute for occupational safety and health(NIOSH) and American conference of governmental industrial hygienists (ACGIH). Comparing different HR and core temperatures during rest and activity showed a significant increase in the incidence of heat strain.

Sensitivity-optimized rigging for example-based real-time clothing synthesis

We present a real-time solution for generating detailed clothing deformations from pre-computed clothing shape examples. Given an input pose, it synthesizes a clothing deformation by blending skinned clothing deformations of nearby examples controlled by the body skeleton. Observing that cloth deformation can be well modeled with sensitivity analysis driven by the underlying skeleton, we introduce a sensitivity based method to construct a pose-dependent rigging solution from sparse examples. We also develop a sensitivity based blending scheme to find nearby examples for the input pose and evaluate their contributions to the result. Finally, we propose a stochastic optimization based greedy scheme for sampling the pose space and generating example clothing shapes. Our solution is fast, compact and can generate realistic clothing animation results for various kinds of clothes in real time.

This study performed the evaluation of skin temperature, heart rate, humidity and temperature inside clothing, and subjective sensation to estimate the physiological responses of the human body and its feeling of comfort for developing value-added dox fabric. Experiments were performed on five healthy adult women whose average age was 21, at climate chamber in which temperature, relative humidity and air current were set up below , , 0.2m/s, respectively. Two kinds of clothes were used for the experiments: 100% cotton and dox clothes. The clothes were identical in size and form, and the attire consisted of long-sleeved shirts, long trousers, and socks. The experiment was performed for 30 minutes using ergometer. The results are as follows. 1) It showed low skin temperature of forearm, breast, back, forehead and lower leg in exercise, but high skin temperature of them in recovery. However skin temperature of thigh and foot increased from rest to recovery. 2) It showed significant difference (p

Dear Abbe

We need to be able to block stray light from our inverted microscope with two-photon capability. I know people drape cloth over their microscopes, but I'm not sure what kind of cloth. Is there a special material? Will it really keep stray light from reaching my scope?

현대패션에 나타난 케이프디자인의 특성

This study analyzes the formative changes and trends of cape design in modern fashion. In this study, a total of 496 cape designs were collected through the four major fashion collections of Paris, Milan, New York, and London from 2006S/S to 2010F/W, and a literature overview on capes was performed. The results of this study show that the cases with collars and hoods attached outnumbered the non-collared designs. In addition, the cases of lengthy cape in the hip or knee line represent more portions in designs. As to the material, it indicated that generic cloth was used the most. In most cases, decorations with various details and trimmings were also used. For expression characteristics, cases only with unique texture to cloth material and formative beauty were the most remarkable without decoration. For the formative feature, the independent item style was found the most, even though it was worn together with other kinds of clothing. Integration with other types also appeared such as cape jacket, cape dress, cape one-piece, or cape coat. Cape design features in contemporary fashion and could be characterized as feministic elegancy, harmony of practical value and fashion, authoritativeness, and decorativeness from the design trend analysis.

How were the pupils dressed in a country village in northern Finland in 1909–1939?

In this article, we analyse schoolchildren's clothing at the village school of Rautiosaari in northern Finland between 1909 and 1939. Accordingly, we describe the kind of clothes that schoolgirls and schoolboys used during the target period. Interviews with elderly people were used as sources for the study. The research had a micro-historical approach. The starting point was a group interview with 10 people supplemented by several individual interviews. In addition to interviews, the data included observations of existent relevant environments and historical documents such as photographs, official archive records, magazines and newspapers, local history publications, and other literature. Clothes and schoolchildren as their users create a lively educational discourse covering the chronological continuity in the flow of history which the researchers interpret.

Grit Lit: A Rough South Reader ed. by Brian Carpenter, Tom Franklin

BOOK REVIEWS Grit Lit: A Rough South Reader. Ed. Brian Carpenter and Tom Franklin. Columbia: U of South Carolina Press, 2012. 336 pp. $24.95 paper. SOMEBOOKSHAVEAWFULTITLES—MISLEADING OR VAGUE OR TOO LONG OR overly clever or pseudo-poetic. Grit Lit: A Rough South Reader isn’t one of them. And as if this anthology’s title isn’t clear and evocative enough, the cover photo is a close-up of the scuffed, filthy boots and blue-jeaned ankles of an anonymous person lying in the open bed of a pickup truck. We can’t see above the ankles but can assume that this person is either drunk, sleeping, lazing, or dead. This collection of twenty-eight stories, novel excerpts, and memoir pieces presents life on the wrong side of the tracks, on the hotter side of the Mason Dixon line. Brian Carpenter’s twenty-page critical introduction makes a case for the book’s contemporary focus, beginning with Harry Crews rather than William Faulkner or Mark Twain. It then discusseskeyelements of the “Rough South” genre (whichhecategorizes as a subgenre of “Grit Lit”), namely that it tends to be “hypermasculine” as well as “mostly poor, white, rural, and unquestionably violent—Grit Lit’s wilder kin or Grit Lit with its back against the wall and somebody’s going to get hurt” (xxvii). In these pages, a lot of somebodies get hurt. Carpenter isn’t the first to emphasize the undeniable influence of violence on character-formation, but his point is well articulated and hard to refute: in Rough South literature, violence is both destiny and “a means of moral reckoning” (xxii). In many of these pieces, violence also provides a thrill—for the characters committing it, and vicariously for the reader. When Harry Crews, in the excerpt from his memoir A Childhood: The Biography of a Place, describes a man named Bad Eye chopping off the hand of his neighbor, Jay, with an axe for trying to scale the fence into his yard, a reader can’t help imagining Crews smiling a little as he wrote the gory scene. Jay tied off his arm with his belt and then fainted in the ditch. When he woke up, Bad Eye was sitting on the woodpile with the bloody stump of a hand. “This here hand belongs to me now, sumbitch. Found it on my land.” (12) 620 Mississippi Quarterly Fueling much of the violence in this book is an excess of alcohol—typically, liquor (or likker) drunk straight from the bottle, and not purchased in any store. Booze in these works exists for the reasons it exists outside of them: for entertainment, habit, escape. And as in real life, booze has a way of igniting the violence that otherwise would fester as silent rage and humiliation. “He was a damn good boy when sober,” a character explains about his nephew in the excerpt from Tim McLaurin’s novel The Acorn Plan, “but lately Billy got a mean streak in him when he drank too much” (111). That mean streak leads Billy to pick a knife-fight with a soldier passing through town. Yet what ultimately underlies and unites these works, beyond a shared geography of the rural South, is poverty—and it’s poverty that seems to beget the boozing and the violence and any number of destructive and self-destructive acts. The poverty in Grit Lit includes the metaphorical kinds—ethical, spiritual, an impoverished sense of opportunity—yet the metaphorical kinds all spring from the literal. In “Deciding to Live,” Dorothy Allison writes about her childhood as “that long terrible struggle to simply survive” (17). Even when she finally moves away, she hasn’t really escaped: I took a bus to the city and spoke to no one, signed the papers that made me a low-level government clerk, and wound up sitting in a motel room eating peanut butter sandwiches so I could use the per diem to buy respectable skirts and blouses—the kind of clothes I had not worn since high school. (18) To the extent that a theme runs through Grit Lit, it is the effect of poverty on individual psyches and entire communities where the...

3D pose estimation and motion analysis of the articulated human hand-forearm limb in an industrial production environment

This study introduces an approach to model-based 3D pose estimation and instantaneous motion analysis of the human hand-forearm limb in the application context of safe human-robot interaction. 3D pose estimation is performed using two approaches: The Multiocular Contracting Curve Density (MOCCD) algorithm is a top-down technique based on pixel statistics around a contour model projected into the images from several cameras. The Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm is a bottom-up approach which uses a motion-attributed 3D point cloud to estimate the object pose. Due to their orthogonal properties, a fusion of these algorithms is shown to be favorable. The fusion is performed by a weighted combination of the extracted pose parameters in an iterative manner. The analysis of object motion is based on the pose estimation result and the motion-attributed 3D points belonging to the hand-forearm limb using an extended constraint-line approach which does not rely on any temporal filtering. A further refinement is obtained using the Shape Flow algorithm, a temporal extension of the MOCCD approach, which estimates the temporal pose derivative based on the current and the two preceding images, corresponding to temporal filtering with a short response time of two or at most three frames. Combining the results of the two motion estimation stages provides information about the instantaneous motion properties of the object.Experimental investigations are performed on real-world image sequences displaying several test persons performing different working actions typically occurring in an industrial production scenario. In all example scenes, the background is cluttered, and the test persons wear various kinds of clothes. For evaluation, independently obtained ground truth data are used.

Cloth and the Corpse in Ebira

Ebira-speaking people inhabit a region to the south-west of the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers in Nigeria. The social environment is dominated by Islam, with a Christian minority. Nevertheless, in the late 1960s, when I began the research drawn upon in this article, much of the pre-Islamic/pre-Christian ritual tradition remained intact; and all three religions presuppose a continuity of human existence beyond death. Yet the question of what persisted, and how, beyond the corpse and the grave remained unanswered in local metaphysics; and none of the Ebira words used for “body” or “person” were used of the deceased. Rather, the link between living and dead, enacted in rite and performance, was manifested by means of cloth; for the one index of that continuity was a textile woven by local women of hand-spun cotton with indigo and white stripes, one pattern for the corpse of a man, and another for a deceased woman. This kind of cloth would be draped around the doorway of a house signifying the presence of the deceased, and later it would be taken down and used to wrap the corpse for burial. The lineage of the deceased's mother supplied the cloth, this constituting one of the means whereby relationships between lineages subsisted. The only other use for this kind of cloth, and then only if striped as for a man, was in the clothing of masked performers. It was as if people entered the world of the dead and returned, re-embodied in masquerade, wearing the same kind of cloth; and it was this, more than any other single aspect of social practice, that manifested the continuity between living and dead. Masked performers also enabled access to a healing energy determined by (male) ancestral precedent. Indeed, masquerade was an aesthetic, structuring, therapeutic, and cognitive locus of much of Ebira social practice, a locus in which a form of textile was essential in the gathering together of ideas-and-practices wherein the relationship between living and dead was constru(ct)ed.

Physiological Effects of a Modification of the Construction of Impermeable Protective Clothing

This study was conducted to improve the construction of impermeable clothing protecting against liquid chemical agents in order to lower the thermal strain caused by the clothing during work. Previous studies indicated that light work in a hot environment in this kind of clothing could last 30° min only. We propose a modification of the construction; new models of protective clothing were tested in wear trials. Then the results were compared with a basic model of impermeable protective clothing. Results indicated that all new models of protective clothing allowed workers to work 39–64% longer than in a basic model of protective clothing. Thus new clothing significantly improved comfort of work in impermeable protective clothing because of the lower thermal strain that it imposed on the user.

Effect of clothing constructions on core temperature during exercise and recovery at an ambient temperature

In this paper we investigated the human thermoregulatory responses, especially core temperature behavior during exercise and recovery at ambient temperature of 10 °C and 50 % R.H. under the conditions of wearing three kinds of clothing with same weight and different constructions. Six healthy men wore three kinds of clothing: one insulating the upper half of the body thinly and the lower half of the body heavily (clothing A, the weights in the upper and lower halves of the body were 489 g and 1278 g, respectively.), the second one insulating the upper half of the body heavily and the lower half of the body thinly (clothing B, 1212 g and 559 g, respectively.), and the third one insulating the upper and lower halves of the body moderately (clothing C, 899 g and 879 g, respectively.). The level of rectal temperature was the greatest during exercise in clothing C and the lowest during recovery in clothing A. The increasing and decreasing rates of core temperature during exercise and recovery, respectively, were the smallest in clothing B. These findings are discussed in terms of different cooling efficiency from the lower extremities and disfunction of counter current heat exchange system among clothing A, B, and C.

중국 동북 3성 스트리트 패션 분석(제1보) -2006년 봄 대련시를 중심으로-

In apparel industry, the production of clothing for the global market, has it#s origin in its characteristics depending on hands on working style, according to the globalization of a fashion industry. These days, however, the globalized production is unable to keep pace with the short cycle of production due to the unpredictable change of the taste or demands in the local area, as a result, the industry has come to take a focus on the production and consumption in the circumscribed region. In this stream, the northeastern area, specially, Dalian which is renowned for a center of fashion was designated as a city of this study as a representative. The cultural, racial and geographical uniqueness, asks for the analysis, based on the individual local area on the part of Korean fashion company desiring to launch into China fashion market. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the style, color, and items of street fashion in Dalian. I would contribute to the understanding the preference of fashion in northeastern area, thereby, affording a fundamental resources for designing strategies for Korean fashion brands in China. The period of investigation is about 5 weeks from 14 May 2006 until 18 June 2006, with combined use of camcorder and digital camera. The site was Victory Shopping Plaza, in center of city, also with Mycal, Ansung, Dasang department store situated in the Economic Development area. The result of this study are as follows: 1. Preferred clothing styles are casual styles(68%) rather than formal styles(32%). In the casual styles, sports casual(36.0%), character casual(29.5%), jean casual(2.6%) were listed. All kinds of clothes are tightly fitted due to the stretched fabric and knit fabric. 2. Preferred colors are white(31.1%), red(16.6%), black(15.8%) khaki(7.8%) and blue(7.6%) for tops, and black(34.6%), blue(27.2%), white(15.4%), brown(14.6%) for bottoms. 3. Preferred clothing items are T-shirt(36.5%), jumper(33.6%), jacket(20.0%), blouse(8.7%), etc.(1.2%) for tops, pants(91.4%), skirts(8.6%) for bottoms. In the pants, cigarette pants(34.6%), bell bottom pants(21.0%), cargo pants(19.9%), straight pants(15.9%) were listed respectively. In the skirts, flare skirt(3.9%), tight skirt(2.2%), semi tight skirt(1.7%), pleats skirt(0.8%) were listed.
