Game Asset Design As A Culture Conservation Effort Through New Media

Indonesia has a very rich culture, but not much is known by the wider National community, even though some are known but are slowly being forgotten because they have been defeated by technological developments. The purpose of this research is to conserve culture in Toba Batak through new media packaged in digital game technology. Through this method, it is hoped that it can indirectly introduce regional culture to its target audience, namely youth people from the millennial generation. The methods Narrative Literature Review (NLR) that used are collecting data, analyzing data, determining assets, illustrating assets (sketching, coloring), assisting with asset illustrations, revising, and finalizing 2D asset designs. This design asset is succeeded creating 6 (six) game assets design in the form of 2D illustrations of the Batak Toba culture. That is, legendary figures, traditional clothing (men and women), traditional houses, traditional weapons, traditional food, and landscapes. In the future, this asset design will be made into a 3D model to be implemented into the game engine.

글로벌-로컬 혼종문화상품의 정체성과 진정성

This article examines the issue of whether hybridised cultural products created in the colonial Western-centric global-local world system can retain local cultural identity and authenticity through the case of African wax. African wax, a wax-printed fabric, is a raw-dye printed cotton fabric produced in factories by European textile companies based on batik, a traditional Indonesian fabric. It is a hybrid cultural product that is neither a traditional African fabric nor produced in Africa, but has acquired the attributes of African culture through its consumption in Africa. According to the conventional view that local culture should be locally generated and produced with originality, uniqueness, and purity, it is difficult to call hybridised wax prints made in Europe during the colonial period as African local culture. Therefore, based on transcultural theory, which interprets colonial local culture from a post-Western perspective, we found that the agency, creativity, and tradition of African local culture in the consumption process transformed the Indonesian-style European wax into African wax and made the wax print an African local culture. Furthermore, we suggest that if authenticity as a commodity is based on originality and genuineness in the production process, then authenticity as a culture should be based on usability, functionality, knowledge, and spirituality in the consumption process, so that Africans as consumers can recognise the cultural products created by wax prints, just as Europeans as producers naturally accept new cultural products such as fashion shows and exhibitions that reappropriate Africanness created by Africans. African wax is an important example of how hybrid cultural products created through the dynamic process of global-local production and consumption during the colonial period can define local cultural identity and authenticity, and what it takes to become new local global cultural contents today.

Perancangan Busana Panggung Anak dengan Sumber Ide Bunga Matahari

This final project takes sunflowers as a source of ideas to be developed into designs and then realized in the form of children's clothing using tapestry, knitting, and pattern magic techniques, in order to explore techniques in developing sunflower motifs in 3D clothing. For the purpose of using the source of the idea of sunflowers because sunflowers themselves are a depiction of optimism and joy that are suitable for the concept of children's clothing. The method used in the process of creating this fashion work is through design exploration (concepts, determination of the chosen concept then design development from the concept, determination of the selected design, experimental techniques used, determination of the right technique from experiments), execution of works (pattern making, pattern cutting, etc.) making tapestry, laying patterns on fabrics, cutting fabrics, sewing processes, and finishing. The final product is three stage children's clothing with artsy style that uses a combination of tapestry and knitting techniques and the use of ATBM lurik fabrics as traditional fabrics. The choice of lurik cloth in this work is due to the appreciation and respect for traditional Indonesian fabrics and their motif were many variations.

JUBAH DAN KOTEKA: DUALISME BUDAYA DALAM RELIGIOSITAS ORANG PAPUA PEGUNUNGAN

This article aims to discuss clothing, namely the robe and the Koteka in the religious expressions of the Papuan people, especially in the mountainous regions. The robe as a representation of western or Middle Eastern culture, the Romans, Greeks, which exist in the Catholic religious tradition. On the other hand, the Koteka is the traditional clothing for men of the Papuan people of the mountains. But these two objects can be used on one occasion, for example in the Eucharistic Celebration which is considered a big and important celebration. Also during the usual Eucharistic celebrations in the Church. The robes are worn by religious and laity as liturgical officers, while the koteka is worn by lay people who also participate in the Eucharistic Celebration. On the one hand, it displays the uniqueness of the local culture, on the other hand, it shows the richness of the church in inculturation. The methodology in this writing uses qualitative methods, by examining previous books and journals according to the topics discussed. The data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive phenomenological approach. Writing does not make a comparative study between the koteka and the robe, but a phenomenological study of religious culture. In this writing it is found that robes and koteka are two garments from different cultures. But both of them have a very holy and noble value in the celebration of the Eucharist and in everyday life. So that koteka is not something that is primitive and underdeveloped but has a sacred meaning

Factors Affecting Purchase Intention of Hanfu: Considering Product Identification, Cultural Motivation, and Perceived Authenticity.

With the trend of national cultural confidence and the growing appreciation for aesthetic diversity, traditional apparel from different countries or regions has become a driving force in the clothing industry. Hanfu, an emerging trend that industrializes traditional culture, has garnered increasing attention from consumers. Thus, with the objective of exploring the psychological antecedents of Hanfu consumers' purchase intentions from the perspectives of product identification, cultural motivation, and consumers' perceived authenticity, the present study was empirically conducted with a sample of 823 respondents. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to examine the proposed research model. The results demonstrate that consumers' identification with Hanfu and cultural motivation positively influence object-based and existential authenticity, as well as purchase intention. Furthermore, the mediating effect of perceived object-based authenticity is confirmed, indicating its significance in shaping consumers' purchase intentions, while the mediating effect of existential authenticity is found to be insignificant. Research findings could contribute to the understanding of the psychological mechanisms driving consumers' purchase intentions towards traditional clothing and highlight the importance of consumers' perceived object-based authenticity in the market of traditional cultural clothing.

Content-Based Image Retrieval for Traditional Indonesian Woven Fabric Images Using a Modified Convolutional Neural Network Method.

A content-based image retrieval system, as an Indonesian traditional woven fabric knowledge base, can be useful for artisans and trade promotions. However, creating an effective and efficient retrieval system is difficult due to the lack of an Indonesian traditional woven fabric dataset, and unique characteristics are not considered simultaneously. One type of traditional Indonesian fabric is ikat woven fabric. Thus, this study collected images of this traditional Indonesian woven fabric to create the TenunIkatNet dataset. The dataset consists of 120 classes and 4800 images. The images were captured perpendicularly, and the ikat woven fabrics were placed on different backgrounds, hung, and worn on the body, according to the utilization patterns. The feature extraction method using a modified convolutional neural network (MCNN) learns the unique features of Indonesian traditional woven fabrics. The experimental results show that the modified CNN model outperforms other pretrained CNN models (i.e., ResNet101, VGG16, DenseNet201, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, Xception, and InceptionResNetV2) in top-5, top-10, top-20, and top-50 accuracies with scores of 99.96%, 99.88%, 99.50%, and 97.60%, respectively.

Clothing, Gender, and Sociophonetic Perceptions of Mayan-Accented Spanish in Guatemala

Perceptual sociophonetic work on Guatemalan Spanish has demonstrated that listeners are more likely to link male voices with traditional Maya clothing, the traje típico, when their speech includes features of Mayan-accented Spanish. However, as Maya women are more likely than men to wear the traje típico, this matched-guise study investigates native Guatemalans’ perceptions of Mayan-accented Spanish produced by female voices. The results demonstrate that guises with features of Mayan-accented Spanish were more likely to have traje típico as a response than guises without these features. When compared to the previous studies with male-voiced guises, the findings suggest an interaction between gender and Mayan-accented Spanish. Traje típico responses were more common for female-voiced guises than male-voiced guises and occurred at the highest rate among female-voiced guises with features of Mayan-accented Spanish. Thus, gendered and cultural practices are reflected in the indexical fields of Mayan-accented Spanish in Guatemala, regardless of the gender or ethnicity of the listener. That is, the visual body–language link is significantly more essentialized for the identity of a woman than for the identity of a man in Guatemala, suggesting that gendered stereotypes, language ideologies, and embodied practices mutually reinforce one another in the collective consciousness of the region.

Maintaining Identity of the Built Environments of Religious Cities: Impact of Expansions at the Historic Karbala, Iraq

The architectural landscape of the city of Karbala is a rich heritage which has the possibility to be used in the development and shaping of the urban fabric of the city. It demonstrates the richness of Islamic architecture and the rhythmic movement of architectural styles. Its importance in creating a distinct personality in all social, cultural, architectural, and environmental aspects is uncontested However, recent developments have witnessed a loss of the local style which is a major issue to be resolved. Any development of this area requires good planning methods and policies that deal with the cultural heritage that represents the memory of the society that must be preserved and dealt with carefully and cautiously. This paper examines this issue to unravel the reasons that have led to the deterioration of the urban and cultural identity of the homogeneous fabric of the city. Modern developments have affected its homogeneity that have led to a loss of its unity of concept, resulting in an urban and architectural chaos. In fact, the contemporary scene represents the disintegration of the bonds that link the parts of the city to the civilized existence of the culturally and economically dependent community in addition to urban interdependence. The research employs a set of methods were used in the identity analysis of the traditional urban fabric through the use of a questionnaire form as a method to collect data and information from a specific group of individuals closely related to the study site, as well as to understand and analyze the set of questions posed, as well as observation and analysis of the site based on random demolitions of the urban fabric compared to the experts' opinions that it should be preserved. The findings confirm the view that each city has its character and personality based on the general concept that it has grown up on. Preserving them will give the city a balance in its urban expansion, without falling into urban disasters that may cost the city. It could destroy its cultural and economic treasury together and may destroy its historical cultural heritage in an irreplaceable manner.

Lightweight, multifunctional smart MXene@PET non-woven with electric/photothermal conversion, antibacterial and flame retardant properties

Flexible wearable devices combining conductive materials with traditional textiles have extensive research attention. Herein, considering the adhesive fastness and dispersibility of the conductive layer, an attempt was made to introduce chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HACC) onto polyethylene terephthalate non-woven (PET non-woven fabrics) substrate through cation-π interactions and then loaded with conductive and well-dispersed MXene. The fabric has satisfactory electrical conductivity (1.77 × 10−2 Ω.m), fast electro-thermal conversion performance, and photothermal conversion performance (surface temperature up to 80.0 °C at a supply voltage of 4 V and light intensity of 300 mW/cm2) due to the continuous conductive network formed by the MXene-wrapped PET fibrics. In addition, the antimicrobial efficiency of the non-woven fabric against Escherichia coli (E. coli) could reach 99.99% under the synergistic effect of HACC and MXene and simulated sunlight irradiation at 300 mW/cm2. At the same time, MXene forms a dense protective layer when burned, which improves the flame retardant properties of the fabric. As a result, this intelligent non-woven fabric demonstrates limitless potential for creating adaptable wearable technology that may satisfy users' needs for a variety of uses.

Eco-friendly composite nanofibrous membranes loaded with chitosan microcapsules for enhanced antibacterial and deodorant application

Traditional textiles are conductive to breed germs that might cause infection or unpleasant odor, especially in public hygiene products. Moreover, biosafety, environmental protection and cost are crucial considerations for antimicrobial materials. Herein, we developed a biocompatible microcapsules/nanofibrous membrane using eco-friendly and facile strategy. The microcapsules loaded with the Epigallocatechin and gallate (EGCG) were synthesized through an ion-crosslinking reaction between chitosan (CS) and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). Additionally, the addition of octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (STAC) could further enhance the antibacterial activity. Following that, the microcapsules were combined with the polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers. The resultant composite nanofibrous membrane exhibits a slow release effect, an enjoyable deodorant activity, and strengthened antibacterial activity through contact-killing and biocide-releasing. Besides, the membrane behaved a low degradation rate, without compromising its mechanical and hydrophilic properties after a 20-day degradation. These findings provided a biocompatible and practical approach for antimicrobial and odor-proof material for hygienic and sanitary products.

Design of a new clean and comfortable temperature-sensitive polyethylene-based copolymer textile

With the rapid development of science and technology, compared with traditional textiles, which provide basic functions such as shelter from the body and cold, intelligent textiles can create a more comfortable and safe environment for people, improve work efficiency and meet people’s demand for diversified functions. At present, polypropylene material has the characteristics of temperature sensitivity, washing resistance, friction resistance, good whiteness and softness, and is widely used in textile, clothing and other industries. In this paper, The temperature sensitivity of cross-linked cotton fabric was characterized by measuring and analyzing the equilibrium swelling ratio, wetting time and surface contact angle. The temperature at which polymer properties suddenly change is 35°C, and the initial wetting time of cross-linked cotton fabric is longer than that of original cotton fabric. When the temperature exceeds 150°C, it loses its temperature sensitivity, resulting in the cross-linked cotton fabric being insensitive to temperature. The most suitable polymer concentration is 1%–8%. According to the DSC curve of P(MEO2MA-co-EGMA360) in the range of 60°C–20°C, the glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined. There is an obvious endothermic peak on the DSC curve near −26°C, which indicates that the glass transition temperature of P(MEO2MA-co-EGMA360) is −26°C, and P (MEO2MA-EGMA360). It is in a viscous state at room temperature. The air permeability and moisture permeability of cross-linked cotton fabric can be adjusted by changing the temperature, and the wearing comfort of the fabric can be improved. The test results of fabric wearability show that after crosslinking reaction, the washing fastness and rubbing fastness of fabric are within acceptable range, while whiteness, softness and mechanical properties are not affected. Considering comprehensively, when the polymer concentration is 8%, the drying temperature is 130°C and the drying time is 2 min, the finished fabric has the best indexes. This is mainly due to the spontaneous “self-adjustment” of aggregation morphology between the hydrogen bonding between polymer and water molecules and the hydrophobic interaction between molecules themselves in order to maintain a delicate dynamic balance, thus reaching a new thermodynamic equilibrium state. When the temperature exceeds the transition temperature, the surface of P(MEO2MA-co-EGMA360) film changes from a dense film structure to a porous structure, so that the air and moisture permeability can be adjusted and the wearing comfort of the fabric can be improved.

Liquid chromatography as analytical tool for the study of natural and early synthetic dyes in traditional Saxon textiles

Confirmed since the twelth century, the Saxon community in Transylvania developed over the years in a rigorous powerful society, with its own lifestyle, social, economic, cultural and artistic standards. Together with research in historic documents, this society is now revealed by material studies of eighteenth– twentieth century objects in the Emil Sigerius collection, preserved in the ASTRA Museum, Sibiu, Romania. Embroideries made in Saxon households as well as representative Saxon coats manufactured in workshops, and dated between 1892 and 1908 (years embroidered on objects), were studied in terms of dye analysis, in order to understand if adoption of new materials goes together with the stylistic improvements. Dye analysis were performed by liquid chromatography with UV–vis and mass spectrometric detection (LC-DAD-MS), nowadays the most appropriate technique for the characterization and identification of colour components in heritage textiles. MS detection, with a triple quadrupole mass analyser, was used to achieve clear identification of each dye in a complex matrix. Construction of suitable spectral libraries through studies on standard dyes and dyed textiles definitely improved the ability to detect natural and early synthetic with greater certainty. Identification of fuchsine (1856), methyl violet (1861), orange II (1876) brilliant green (1879), quinoline yellow (1881) and rhodamine B (1887) in textiles dated about 20 years after the dyes first synthesis prove that transition from natural to synthetic dyes in the Saxon community was very fast, especially for textiles made in specialized workshops. The analytical configurations used prove their competence in textile studies, based on natural and early synthetic dyes research, and promotes the use of advanced analytical techniques in heritage science applications.

Chinese Elements in Film Mulan (2020) and Its Intercultural Transmission

This paper aims to analyze Chinese elements and their intercultural transmission in the film Mulan. Disney's live-action film Mulan set off a global craze after its release in 2020. A large quantity of Chinese elements appeared in the film have aroused foreign audiences’ interest, attention and heated discussion, thus spreading Chinese culture worldwide. Based on Stuart Hall's Encoding and Decoding theory, this paper finds that the film reflects both material and spiritual cultural elements of China, such as tulou architecture (the earthen buildings constructed in Fujian province in southern China), traditional clothing, kung fu. However, the results of the study reveal that the film encodes and decodes these elements at various levels so that it produces different cultural psychology for the target language audience. Therefore, in the process of intercultural transmission, appropriate methods, including in-depth exploration of Chinese elements and correct encoding and decoding, must be adopted.

Ethnomathematics in Making Woven Fabrics in the Sipirok Community

Ethnomathematics is one method of learning mathematics that is expected to be another alternative that seeks to make students interested in learning mathematics. Besides being theoretical, ethnomathematics teaches how mathematics may be employed in real-world circumstances. This study aims to understand more about how mathematics is used in the production of traditional Sipirok woven fabrics. The author employed a qualitative research method in this study, and the data was gathered through observation, interviews, and recording. One of the weavers of Sipirok woven fabric provided the sample. According to the findings, there is mathematics in manufacturing Sipirok woven fabric, specifically in the loom used and woven fabric motif. Thus, ethnomathematics can support students' mathematics learning and aid in understanding the teacher's instruction. It is suggested that other researchers study Indonesian cultures that incorporate ethnomathematics, as many unexplored Indonesian cultures remain.

Vitamin D Levels in Children During Winter and the Relationship Between Sunscreen and Sun Protection Behaviors.

Sunlight is the major source of vitamin D, thus, the use of sunscreens could result in vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. Our study aimed to assess serum vitamin D levels in healthy children aged 0-18 years in the winter season and determine the association between sunscreen use and sun protection behaviors on vitamin D status. The demographic data, clothing style, skin type, history of sunburn, history of visiting seaside towns in summer, sun protection behaviors including sunscreen use, wearing sunglasses and hats, and further detailed information about sunscreen use were recorded. Vitamin D status was assessed by measuring blood levels of total 25(OH)D during winter. Three hundred seventy-six children (172 boys and 204 girls) with a mean age of 128.38±56.39 months were enrolled. The mean serum level of 25(OH)D was 15.32±8.64 ng/mL. The mean values of vitamin D were associated with age, sex, traditional clothing style, having a sunburn history, and sunscreen use (P < 0.05). Adolescents and girls had vitamin D deficiency and inadequacy more than younger children and boys (P < 0.05). Sunscreen use in the adequacy group was lower than in the inadequacy and deficiency groups (P = 0.001). There was no significant difference between vitamin D status according to the sunscreen details (sun protection factor, product source, season, and body areas) (P > 0.05). Sunscreen use appears to reduce vitamin D levels measured in winter. Children, especially girls and adolescents, should be exposed to sufficient sunlight to maintain normal serum vitamin D levels. Vitamin D supplementation should be given to children, especially during winter.
