Research on Structural Design of Pants and Pattern Generation System

In the developing of 2D non-contact anthropometry and application system, automatic pattern generation of men’s pants system is important component. Based on 3D point-cloud data of human body, this paper probes the calculated formulas of key parts’ width in front and back pieces of pants. First, obtain the total girth and the front/back girth of waist, abdomen, buttocks, thigh, knee and ankle, and set the coefficients to establish the regression equation by using SPSS. Meanwhile, 6 kinds of devised styles are summarized by observing styles of men’s pants, which are divided into landscape orientation, lengthways orientation and slant segmentation all included straight line and curve. After the users enter into automatic pattern generation of men’s pants system, they can choose devised styles in the interface of design, and then related patterns can be automatically generated in the interface of pattern. VS software is used to make programming, ganged style of pants in human body is realized by MATLAB, and so the pattern can be automatically generated according to the rules of pattern and devised styles. This study completes part of the work for the conversion from 3D garment pattern to 2D, to make up that the 2D non-contact body measurement system cannot directly obtain 3D sizes, and provides the basis for automatically pattern generation of pants.

Boys Keep Swinging: The Fashion Iconography of Hedi Slimane

The arrival of designer Hedi Slimane at Christian Dior in 2000 marked an epoch change in men's style. Slimane's reputation is founded on having streamlined and rejuvenated the male silhouette through the promotion of a skinny style appropriated from youth subcultures. Slimane's rebranding of the Dior menswear line (from the fusty Christian Dior Monsieur to the hip Dior Homme) adapted a range of urban street styles to suit the in-house tradition of classicism and bourgeois elegance. This article sets out to assess the designer's conscious reworking of masculinity, replacing virile men with skinny boys, perceived as the clearest paradigm shift in male fashion imagery since Armani, as well as tracking Slimane's impact on the landscape of contemporary fashion. Along with Tom Ford, Slimane is emblematic of the rise of the “creative director” engineering not only the various collections but also the brand's visual identity right down to store design and the architecture of the Dior Homme boutiques worldwide. This article situates Slimane's designs more broadly within the history of popular culture and the visual arts through a contextual focus on his cultural references and influences (notably David Bowie's Berlin and the British rock music scene), alongside coverage of his recent photographic work on American youth cultures.

Fragile Self-esteem and the Interpersonal Circumplex: Are Feelings of Self-worth Associated with Interpersonal Style?

The interpersonal content and cohesion of secure and fragile forms of self-esteem were examined across three studies using undergraduate participants. Each study focused on a single marker of fragile self-esteem: unstable self-esteem (N = 327), low implicit self-esteem (N = 288), or contingent self-esteem (N = 347). Across these three markers, self-esteem fragility was found to be strongly associated with the interpersonal styles of men but not women. Men with fragile high self-esteem were characterized by a blend of dominance and hostility, whereas other individuals with high self-esteem were characterized by a blend of dominance and nurturance. The interpersonal styles associated with true and uncertain forms of low self-esteem were diverse and ranged from hostility to nurturance. These findings suggest that secure and fragile forms of self-esteem possess significant interpersonal content and are distinguishable with regard to their interpersonal styles. Implications for the interpersonal nature of fragile self-esteem are discussed.

남성 잡지 표지 모델의 섹슈얼 이미지

감성사회, 무한경쟁사회로 진입하면서 남성의 스타일이나 이미지는 힘과 권위로 상징되던 과거 스타일에서 많은 변화를 보이고 있다. 오늘날 남성 스타일과 이미지에 관한 정보는 소비대중의 요구와 매체들의 보도에 의해 필요와 학습의 과정을 거치면서, 정보의 제공자나 수용자 모두에게 적절한 이익을 주고 있다. 일반적으로 잡지의 표지는 잡지의 컨셉과 이미지를 대표하며, 표지 모델은 잡지의 상징적인 이미지, 시대성, 대중의 호감도와 밀접한 연관성을 지닌다. 따라서 라이프스타일 잡지의 표지 모델에 관한 연구는 현재 스타일의 흐름을 단적으로 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 의미가 있다. 본 연구는 남성 잡지 표지 모델의 섹슈얼 이미지에 관한 연구로 현대 남성의 이미지를 호모 섹슈얼, 크로스 섹슈얼, 메트로 섹슈얼, 위버 섹슈얼의 이미지로 구분하여 연구하였다. 연구의 결과 국내 남성 잡지에서 나타나고 있는 섹슈얼 이미지는 위버 섹슈얼이 압도적이었으며, 메트로 섹슈얼이 그 다음을 차지하였다. 결과적으로 현대 남성들의 이 같은 섹슈얼 이미지는 남성 성역할의 변화와 함께 남성 이미지의 범위 확대를 뜻하는 것으로 파악할 수 있다. As we enter an era of emotional and endlessly competitive society, there has been a lot of changes happening to the styles and images of men, traditionally associated with strength and power. Today, the media is giving information on today's trendy men's styles and images to meet the growing demand by consumers, and giving appropriate gains in the process to all - both information providers and consumers. Generally speaking, the cover of a magazine represents the concept and image of the magazine. The cover model is closely tied with the symbolic image of the magazine, the current times, and what the general public wants. Therefore, research on the cover models of a lifestyle magazine has significance in that the current style trends will be able to be understood directly. The present research investigated the sexual images of men's magazine cover models. In carrying out the research, the sexual images were classified into the following: homosexual, cross sexual, metro sexual, and uber sexual. The research findings showed that uber sexual is the dominant sexual image in men's magazines in Korea, followed by metro sexual. In conclusion, the findings suggest an expansion of the traditional image of men, happening with the changes in traditional sex roles.

Attachment theory and its relation to adult men who sexually offend.

There is extensive research examining the attachment styles of men who sexually offend. The results indicate that this population often has insecure attachment styles with significant deficits in their attachment behaviors. It has been theorized that such deficits are influential factors in both the

Love Styles: A Cross-Cultural Study of British, Indian, and Portuguese College Students

This study was undertaken to examine young women's and men's styles of love in three cultures: England, India, and Portugal. 562 students completed the Love Attitudes Scale (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986), as measures of Lee's love styles. Cultural background and gender were investigated as correlates of love styles among British, Indian, and Portuguese university students. Men viewed love as more permissive, more friendship oriented, more pragmatic, more agapic, but less manic than did women. Culture differences or Gender x Culture interactions were also found. We discuss the importance of studying love with data collected from more than one culture.$$culture, gender, love styles.

Gender Salience and the Use of Linguistic Qualifiers and Intensifiers in Online Course Discussions

Past studies of online discourse found social presence to be a critical element in the learning process. Social presence connotes the extent to which students perceive themselves as intellectually connected to the other participants in an online dialogue. Impediments to the development of social presence can disrupt knowledge formation as a group activity. This study analyzed differences in the language styles of men and women as one such impediment. When students self-categorize by gender, the expository speaking style of men may crowd out the epistolary style of women, leading women to cognitively disengage from the group learning process. However, in online course environments, where self-categorization is by shared identity, such crowding out is less likely to occur. This study found no evidence of a male crowding-out effect.

Tomando Control

The purpose of this study was to pilot test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a culturally appropriate and culturally relevant Spanish-language cognitive-behavioral diabetes self-care educational intervention for Hispanic Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study site was an urban community health center in the Northeast, at which 16 Latino patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited. This was a 1-group pretest-posttest pilot study, during which qualitative and quantitative data were collected on demographic, physiologic (HbA1c, body mass index, lipids), psychosocial (diabetes-related distress and health beliefs), knowledge, and language-based acculturation variables at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Data were collected using questionnaires, laboratory data, and chart review. The intervention was culturally appropriate in terms of language, social emphasis, nutritional guidance, and acknowledgment of cultural health beliefs. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was used to evaluate response variables of glycemic control, lipid levels, and psychosocial and knowledge outcomes. The intervention acceptability process was evaluated by attendance and attrition. This pilot study demonstrated excellent acceptance for and feasibility of this intervention. Most study participants (9 women, 7 men) were middle-aged married individuals who had had diabetes mellitus for an average of 8 years; English was a second language for all of them. Most were overweight and had suboptimal glycemic control and lipid profiles and moderate levels of knowledge at the outset of the study. Most had received a one-on-one diabetes educational session prior to the intervention. Over the 6 months of the study, most of both men and women showed an increase in knowledge scores, improvement in lipid profiles, and reduction in HbA1c levels. Men demonstrated a temporary increase in emotional distress much greater than that reported by women during the first 3 months of the study. The findings suggest that a culturally relevant type 2 diabetes mellitus educational program, particularly one that addresses different learning needs and styles of men and women, can have a positive impact on Hispanic Americans with diabetes. Implications for practice include awareness of gender-based differences in response to self-management education, the importance of providing realistic samples of meals prepared in a manner consistent with American Diabetes Association principles, and the rationale for offering a brief and focused refresher course 6 to 9 months following this type of intervention.

Humour's role in the relation between attributional style and dysphoria

The present study empirically investigated the role of adaptive and maladaptive components of humour in the relation between attributional style and dysphoria. Four hundred eighteen students (134 male, 282 female; 2 respondents did not indicate gender) completed questionnaires measuring attributional style, humour styles and depressive symptoms. Among men and women, higher levels of affiliative and self‐enhancing humour, and lower levels of self‐defeating humour, were each associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Additionally, higher levels of affiliative humour provided a buffer against the deleterious effects of a negative attributional style in men, but not women. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Attachment Styles and Violence Within Couples

This study examined whether an individual's attachment style and/or a couple's combination of attachment styles predicted violence within the marriage and explored whether other variables moderated the risk of violence. Measures of attachment style were administered to 41 discordant couples who presented to four different clinics. The couples' presenting complaints were not violence, and those who did report violence on questioning did not manifest severe violence, i.e., requiring shelters or legal intervention. Self-report measures of violence and marital satisfaction, including problem-solving communication, were also given. Using analysis of covariance and logistic regression, the relative contributions to strength of predicting being a victim of conjugal violence were calculated. An anxious attachment style was a significant predictor of females being victims of violence and of men not being victims. A dismissive style in men was predictive of men being victims when entered into the model with problem solving communication. The combination of anxiously attached females and dismissive males was a potent predictor of violence, and longer duration of marriage and poor problem-solving communication added power to the prediction. Marital interaction, which is influenced by couples' attachment styles and problem-solving communication, is a significant factor in marital partners experiencing physical violence. For couples with milder levels of violence, a more nuanced approach (compared with the legally based approach used for severe violence) seems indicated.

Gender differences in autobiographical memory styles of older adults

Older adults provided oral life histories in a semi-structured interview format. The transcribed narratives were coded for the presence of specific, one-moment-in-time episodes. Participants differed systematically in the degree to which their narratives were marked by descriptions of specific events. Women's memory styles were markedly more specific or episodic than were men's styles. Participants' ratings of the ways that they use memory in daily life suggest that women place a greater value on purposeful reminiscence than do men.

Writes of Passage: Stylistic features of male and female undergraduate history essays

As a student enters an academic field and seeks to become a member of a discourse community, they must learn to write in ways that are appropriate to that discipline. Academic success depends on determining what the rules are and on learning to follow them. A study of undergraduate writing in history is reported. Essays by 87 students were analysed and sentences were classified according to their bold, tentative or evaluative features. Findings were analysed by gender and by essay grade. They showed that there was more similarity than difference overall in the writing styles of men and women but that, in addition, men tended to use more bold constructions than women. The writing contained a predominance of assertive statements, lending weight to the view that argument is a key feature of academic writing. However, there was a greater occurrence of very assertive or bold statements in work receiving lower grades, which suggests that students must not write too boldly. Similar findings are reported in relation to the use of tentative and evaluative statements, leading to the conclusions that 'good' writing in history is a very finely judged performance and that learning to write history may be a very complex process.

Pantaloons & Power: A Nineteenth-Century Dress Reform in the United States

Clothing is often an indication of an individual's status, and gender. By the early nineteenth century clear definitions had developed regarding how American women and men were supposed to appear in public and how they were meant to lead their lives. As men's style of dress moved from the ornate to the moderate, women's fashions continued to be decorative and physically restrictive. This visible separation of the sexes was paralleled in other arenas - social, cultural, and religions. Some women defied this convention and cut their skirts short, abandoned their corsets, and put on trousers. In Pantaloons and Power Gayle V. Fisher shows how the reformers' denouncement of conventional dress highlighted the role of clothing in the struggle of power relations between the sexes.

Gender differences in content and style of argument between couples during divorce mediation

AbstractAnalysis of the negotiation process of thirty Israeli couples, chosen randomly, who participated in divorce mediation shows several gender differences in both style and content. Men tend to use more legalistic arguments that are based on principles of law and customary practice. Women tend to use more relational arguments based on interpersonal responsibility to a relationship. Men's style tends to be unemotional and reserved, women's style emotional with more expression of insult and pain. Psychological theories help explain these gender differences. Couple therapists, divorce counselors, and mediators should be aware of these differences and their practice implications.

Gender, Attributional Styles, and Direction of Lethal Violence

The present study is a partial test of Unnithan, Huff-Corzine, Corzine, and Whitt's integrated model of suicide and homicide, focusing specifically on gender differences in the suicide-to-homicide ratio (SHR). In light of prior research on the differential attributional styles of men and women, the underlying assumption of Unnithan et al. regarding attribution of blame and direction of lethal violence is assessed. Using aggregate national suicide and homicide rates for the years 1979 through 1997, SHRs and lethal violence rates (LVRs) are calculated and compared by gender. Analyses reveal that women's SHRs are substantially higher than those for men. In addition, it is found that trends in LVRs over time are significantly different for men and women, exhibiting a cyclical pattern in the case of men and a linear pattern in the case of women. Implications of these findings for the integrated model and for future research are discussed.

The Smuggler and the Beauty Queen The Border and Sovereignty as Sources of Body Style in Gibraltar

This article explains the relatively neglected topic of how borders influence the habitus and body styles of border populations. It extends notions of habitus and performativity to the field of national identification. Using data from the British Crown Colony of Gibraltar, it examines two contexts in which the dominant body styles of men and women shaped as forms of resistance to political harassment enacted by the neighboring country, Spain, at the colonies border: smuggling and beauty contests.Smuggling is both economically lucrative and part of the Gibraltarians’ struggle for political recognition and self-determination. The image of ‘the smuggler' and his or her behaviour have become emblematic of this conflict. Related to the question of sovereignty and the border is the exclusion of Gibraltar from participation in many international events such as the Olympics and the Eurovision Song Contest. The only such event in which Gibraltar participates on an equal footing with other nations is the Miss World Contest, the preparatory heats for which have become major occasions in the Gibraltarian calendar, spawning a mass of local beauty contests. These examples illustrate not only how borders create and maintain national differences and distinctions, but also how such differences can come to be inscribed on the bodies of those who live at borders.
