Cel pracy

Celem badań było sprawdzenie, czy i na ile zmiany sposobu żywienia przekładają się na zmiany wartości parametrów antropometrycznych i skład ciała.

Metoda

Badaniami objęto 52 osoby przewlekle chore psychicznie. Badania antropometryczne wykonano techniką martinowską, dwukrotnie, przed i po roku od wprowadzonej korekty diety. Bezpośrednio po wykonaniu pomiarów przeprowadzano badanie składu ciała, metodą bioimpedancji BIA, w układzie tetragonalnym, przy użyciu aparatu Bodystad ®1500MDD.

Wyniki

Zmiany sposobu żywienia znalazły odbicie w istotnym obniżeniu masy ciała, wartości wskaźnika BMI i zmniejszeniu obwodu bioder u kobiet ze schizofrenią oraz istotnym wzroście wartości wskaźnika WHR u mężczyzn z grupy z innymi schorzeniami. Analiza wartości wskaźnika BMI wykazała wzrost odsetka kobiet i mężczyzn z normowagą w grupie chorych na schizofrenię oraz zmniejszenie odsetka niedożywionych kobiet i mężczyzn oraz wzrost odsetka osób z normowagą w grupie z innymi chorobami. Analiza składu ciała badanych wykazała korzystne zmiany w postaci wzrostu zawartości i odsetka beztłuszczowej masy ciała i wody oraz obniżenia zawartości i odsetka tkanki tłuszczowej w obu grupach. Zmiany te były istotne tylko u mężczyzn z grupy chorych z innymi schorzeniami i dotyczyły wzrostu zawartości beztłuszczowej masy ciała.

Wnioski

Zmiany w sposobie żywienia sprzyjały utracie masy ciała u osób z nadwagą i otyłych. Towarzyszyły jej zmiany wartości badanych wskaźników. Zmianom ulegał również skład ciała. Polegał on na rzeczywistym obniżeniu zawartości tłuszczu w ciele, przy braku zmian zawartości beztłuszczowej masy ciała i/lub wody. U osób z niedożywieniem lub niską masą ciała, zmiany w sposobie żywienia sprzyjały poprawie staniu odżywienia.

Published: January 2023

W ostatnich latach znacząco zwiększyła się częstość rozpoznawania zapaleń mózgu o etiologii autoimmunologicznej, zarówno w populacji pacjentów dorosłych, jak i dzieci i młodzieży. Fakt ten jest niewątpliwie związany z dynamicznym rozwojem nowych metod diagnostycznych, jak również postępem wiedzy medycznej. Szczególnym rodzajem spośród powyższych jest zapalenie mózgu z obecnością przeciwciał przeciwko receptorowi NMDA. Ze względu na występujące w tej chorobie objawy charakterystyczne dla zaburzeń psychicznych to właśnie psychiatrzy są często specjalistami, którzy jako pierwsi mają do czynienia z pacjentem z powyższym rozpoznaniem. Diagnostyka różnicowa jest niezmiernie trudna, a diagnoza oparta przede wszystkim na danych z wywiadu oraz stwierdzeniu typowych objawów klinicznych. Dlatego w artykule na podstawie narracyjnego przeglądu literatury baz danych PubMed, EMBASE, oraz biblioteki Cochrane z lat 2007-2021 z użyciem słów kluczowych: „anti-NMDAR encephalitis”, „children”, „adolescents” opisano charakterystyczny przebieg choroby, omówiono badania diagnostyczne służące potwierdzeniu rozpoznania oraz przedstawiono aktualne wytyczne dotyczące leczenia. Ze względu na częstość występowania zapalenie mózgu z przeciwciałami przeciwko receptorowi baz danych PubMed, EMBASE, oraz biblioteki Cochrane NMDA jest chorobą, którą należy brać pod uwagę w diagnostyce różnicowej w codziennej praktyce psychiatrycznej.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Hypertension is most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CD) and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in adults worldwide. Even though over last decade there has been improvement in increasing the awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension remain one of main public health challenges. In order to make progress in dealing with this problem it important to understand in which areas of the treatment strategy appropriate changes have not yet been implemented. First step to do this is to improve our understanding of the factors that affect the treatment and control of hypertension. International Guidelines for hypertension recommend the same hypertension management for both sexes, however studies reveal that there are actual differences in hypertension management.
Purpose of the study: The aim of this study was to conduct a paper review to provide most comprehensive contemporary estimates of sex differences in the awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension.
Material and method: A literature review was conducted in English language databases, based only on original articles, regarding awareness, control and treatment of hypertension, using key words: ‘hypertension’, ‘sex- differences’, ‘hypertension treatment’, ‘gender gap’, ‘public health’.
Results and conclusions: Based on researched studies we can state that woman have higher awareness, treatment and control rates for hypertension than men worldwide [4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. This suggests that, the guidelines for the treatment and management of hypertension should be gender specific.

In the majority of the developing nations like India, the flower waste age happens to a great extent during capacities, loves, services, celebrations, and so on. Debasement of floral waste is an extremely sluggish interaction. Flower squander debasement likewise expands the interest for agro-based items. In India, a large amount of flowers are offered to sacred places, and many flowers are wasted. Abandoned sanctuaries are carried into the sea or dumped in accessible locations in the country, causing extreme environmental pollution and health hazards. Thus the current study was embraced to foster an effective microbial consortium from cow manure for degradation of blossom squander. Cow compost harbors a different gathering of microorganisms that might be useful to people because of their capacity to deliver a scope of metabolites. This assists with corrupting profoundly complex natural mixtures and converts it into straight forward stable final result Bio-Compost. Therefore, in the current work rather than individual disengages an endeavor is made to foster microbial consortium from cow dung for debasement of floral waste. Also in this research microbial consortia developed from cow dung which is very effective for degradation of floral waste within 45 days and helps to produce effective biocompost speedily from floral waste and this biocompost are much better than commercial available biocompost and chemical fertilizer.

Authors: Hussain Mukhtar , Kumar Arvind
Published: January 2023

Among the most common abiotic stresses that retard the development and growth of plants is salt stress. This study examined the impact of various salt levels (NaCl and Na2SO4) on the germination behaviour of sesame cultivars. Under various simulated salt concentrations (0.05M, 0.01M, 0.15M, 0.2M, 0.25M, 0.3M, 0.35M, 0.4M, and 0.5M), the degree of salinity tolerance of two sesame cultivars, viz., GT-10 and JTS-8 were assessed. The radicle, hypocotyl length, and fresh weight measurements were made separately after 96 and 144 hours. The results revealed that germination and seedling growth drastically decreased as the salt concentration increased. In comparison to GT-10, JTS-8 exhibits greater tolerance to different NaCl concentrations and greater sensitivity to varying Na2SO4 concentrations.

Published: January 2023

O artigo analisa o acesso à Justiça, a cidadania, os direitos humanos e a democracia, a partir da atuação da advocacia e da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil (OAB), com amparo na revisão de literatura sobre o tema. Buscou-se identificar a atuação desses dois atores sociais em benefício da cidadania, desde seu histórico constitucional; e determinar os sentidos criados, no marco da atuação da advocacia e da OAB, para o acesso à Justiça, direitos humanos e democracia. Consagrada pela Constituição Federal de 1988, em seu art. 133, como indispensável à Justiça, a advocacia encontra seu espaço-tempo de organização e proteção institucional na OAB, ao longo de 92 anos de existência, atuou em momentos centrais na história brasileira, em especial pelo direito de defesa. O argumento principal é de que a advocacia e a OAB, por meio de suas atuações, produzem novos sentidos sobre o acesso à Justiça, cidadania e democracia. Palavras-Chave: OAB; cidadania brasileira; advocacia; Estado Democrático de Direito; direitos humanos.

On eigenvalues of real symmetric interval matrices: Sharp bounds and disjointness
Authors: Faragó Gábor Zoltan , Vajda Robert
Published: January 2023

In this paper, the eigenvalue problem of real symmetric interval matrices is studied. First, in the case of  $2 \times 2$ real symmetric interval matrices, all the four endpoints of the two eigenvalue intervals are determined. These are not necessarily eigenvalues of vertex matrices, but it is shown that such a real symmetric interval matrix can be constructed from the original one. Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the disjointness of eigenvalue intervals. In the general $n\times n$ case, due to Hertz, a set of special vertex matrices determines the maximal eigenvalue and a similar statement holds for the minimal one. In a special case, namely if the right endpoints of the off-diagonal intervals are not smaller than the absolute value of the left ones, he concluded the vertex matrix of the right endpoints provides the maximal eigenvalue. Generalizing it, it is shown that in the case of real symmetric interval matrices with special sign pattern, a single vertex matrix determines one of the extremal bounds.
Automated Hotel Booking and Cancellation Web-Based Application: A Prototype
Authors: G. Albino Michael , Alvarez Cyrel B. , B. Murillo Shermaine , S. Tuzon Aubrey Jaye , P. Paña Kris Danica
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to provide new insights into the factors that influence cancellation behaviour with respect to hotel bookings. Cancellations of bookings are one of the most common concerns in the hotel sector. Before the specified arrival date, the client would cancel their reservation. The cancellation has had a major impact on hotel operations as well. The researchers developed a prototype system called Automated Hotel Booking Cancellation that can assist a hotel in better anticipating consumer cancellations and booking transactions. The researchers utilized a survey questionnaire following the ISO 25010 Software Quality Standard to assess the system's usefulness, functionality, accuracy, security, reliability, and maintainability. The results show "strongly agree" in all the domains with an overall mean = 3.46. IT Experts and respondents evaluated the proposed prototype and gained a "Strongly Agree" rating in all the domains under the survey. The domain on the usefulness of the system gained the highest mean = 3.89 with an interpretation of "strongly agree," and the lowest was the domain of security with a mean = 3.15 or "strongly agree," which ranked 6 in summary.

The researchers concluded based on the findings that the developed prototype web-based system was useful and functional to the needs of the target users/beneficiaries. The user interface of the web-based system was user-friendly, representing an object-oriented user interface for the users. An improvement recommended on the cancellation to automatically predict cancellations that can be incorporated into the system using Machine Learning Algorithms to ease the process of cancellation were recommended for future researchers who want to pursue advanced studies about the topic.

Authors: Tafara Lamessa , Bikila Haile , Feyisa Ilili , Desalegn Markos , Kaba Zalalem
Published: January 2023

Background

Pregnancy is a time when the body is under a lot of stress, which increases your dietary needs. Under nutrition is a worldwide health issue, especially among pregnant women. Malnutrition during pregnancy can result in miscarriages, fetal deaths during pregnancy, pre-term delivery, and maternal mortality for both the mother and her fetus. Therefore, this research aimed to assess the prevalence of under nutrition and associated factors among pregnant woman attending antenatal care services at public hospitals in west Ethiopia.

Objective

To assess the prevalence of under nutrition and associated factors among pregnant women attending Antenatal Care service in Public Hospitals of western Ethiopia.

Methods

Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 10 to May 10, 2020 among 780 pregnant mothers. The study participants were selected by systematic random sampling methods from antenatal care clinics of the hospitals. Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data and Mid-upper arm circumference, height and weight were measured to determine the magnitude of under nutrition among the study participants. The data were entered to Epi Info version 7.2.3, and then exported to SPSS version 24 for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors considering adjusted odd ratio (AOR) at p-value ≤ 0.05 to measure the strength of association between dependent and independent variables.

Result

The prevalence of under nutrition among pregnant women was found to be 39.2% (95%CI: 35.7%, 42.6%). Rural residence [(AOR = 1.97, 95% CI: (1.24, 3.14)], substance use [(AOR: 3.33, 95% CI: (1.63, 6.81)], low dietary diversity of women [(AOR = 7.56, 95% CI: (4.96, 11.51)], mildly food insecure household [(AOR = 4.36, 95% CI: (2.36, 8.79)], moderately food insecure household [(AOR = 3.71, 95%CI: (1.54, 8.79), and severely food insecure household [(AOR = 6.96, 95% CI: (3.15, 15.42)] were factors significantly associated with under nutrition.

Conclusion

The study showed that the prevalence of under nutrition is very high among pregnant women. Factors associated with under nutrition of pregnant women were rural residency, household food insecurity, dietary diversity and substance use. All concerned bodies should made efforts to reduce the risk of under nutrition by reducing substance use and improving household food security there by to increase women’s dietary diversity.
Data-driven multiscale dynamical framework to control a pandemic evolution with non-pharmaceutical interventions
Authors: Reingruber Jürgen , Papale Andrea , Ruckly Stéphane , Timsit Jean-Francois , Holcman David
Published: January 2023

Before the availability of vaccines, many countries have resorted multiple times to drastic social restrictions to prevent saturation of their health care system, and to regain control over an otherwise exponentially increasing COVID-19 pandemic. With the advent of data-sharing, computational approaches are key to efficiently control a pandemic with non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Here we develop a data-driven computational framework based on a time discrete and age-stratified compartmental model to control a pandemic evolution inside and outside hospitals in a constantly changing environment with NPIs. Besides the calendrical time, we introduce a second time-scale for the infection history, which allows for non-exponential transition probabilities. We develop inference methods and feedback procedures to successively recalibrate model parameters as new data becomes available. As a showcase, we calibrate the framework to study the pandemic evolution inside and outside hospitals in France until February 2021. We combine national hospitalization statistics from governmental websites with clinical data from a single hospital to calibrate hospitalization parameters. We infer changes in social contact matrices as a function of NPIs from positive testing and new hospitalization data. We use simulations to infer hidden pandemic properties such as the fraction of infected population, the hospitalisation probability, or the infection fatality ratio. We show how reproduction numbers and herd immunity levels depend on the underlying social dynamics.
Test-retest reliability of the single leg stance on a Lafayette stability platform

Published: January 2023

The validity and reliability of the Lafayette stability platform are well-established for double leg testing. However, no evaluation of single leg (SL) stance on the platform was discovered yet. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the reliability of conducting the SL stance on the Lafayette platform. Thirty-six healthy and active university students (age 23.2 ± 3.2 years; BMI 21.1 ± 3.1 kg/m2) were tested twice, one week apart (week 1; W1, week 2; W2). They stood on their dominant leg with eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) in random order. Three successful trials of 20 seconds each were recorded. The duration during which the platform was maintained within 0° of tilt was referred to as time in balance (TIB). At all-time points, TIB was consistently longer in EO (EOW1: 17.02 ± 1.04s; EOW2: 17.32 ± 1.03s) compared to EC (ECW1: 11.55 ± 1.73s; ECW2: 13.08 ± 1.82s). A ±10 seconds difference was demonstrated in the Bland-Altman analysis in both EO and EC. Lower standard error of measurement (SEM) and coefficient of variation (CV) indicated consistent output. High intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values were seen between weeks (EO = 0.74; EC = 0.76) and within weeks (EOW1 = 0.79; EOW2 = 0.86; ECW1 = 0.71; ECW2 = 0.71). Although statistical measures (i.e., SEM, CV, and ICC) indicated good reliability of Lafayette for SL tasks, the wide agreement interval is yet to be clinically meaningful. Factors underlying the wide variation need to be identified before Lafayette is used for TIB assessment.

Las Junior Cooperativas en la Nueva Ley de Cooperativas de Euskadi
Authors: Arregi Uzuriaga Aitziber , Alzola Berriozabalgoitia Izaskun
Published: January 2023

La Ley 11/2019, de 20 de diciembre, de Cooperativas de Euskadi ha incluido en su regulación a las junior cooperativas como un nuevo tipo de cooperativas señalando que éstas “merecen identificación y regulación específicas”. La inclusión de las junior cooperativas dentro de la nueva ley ha supuesto un paso hacia delante, ya que constituyen de facto, una nueva clase de cooperativa, distinta del resto de cooperativas contempladas en la Ley. Y es que, este reconocimiento ha sido necesario, ya que, en la práctica, si bien este tipo de cooperativas ya existían con anterioridad a la aprobación de la Ley, salvo una Instrucción de Servicio dictada por el Registro de Cooperativas, éstas carecían de mención y regulación. No obstante, y si bien el reconocimiento normativo ha sido imprescindible, todavía queda camino por recorrer ya que las junior cooperativas siguen encontrando diversos problemas.
A diszjunkció mint Pozitív Polaritású Elem

Published: January 2023

A diszjunktív tagadó mondatok logikailag potenciálisan kétértelműek: amennyiben a diszjunkció a tagadáshoz képest tág hatókört (TD) vesz fel, az „egyik vagy másik nem” értelmezés áll elő, míg a diszjunkció a tagadáshoz viszonyított szűk hatóköre (SZD), az „egyik sem” olvasatot eredményezi. A korábbi elméleti szakirodalom szerint a nyelvek egy csoportjában – melybe többek között a magyar is sorolható – az SZD olvasat nem elérhető, ugyanis ezekben a nyelvekben a diszjunkció egy Pozitív Polaritású Elem (PPE). A nyelveket diszjunkciójuk alapján két csoportba (+/–PPE nyelvek) soroló elmélet alapján kezdetben számos nyelvet kategorizáltak a +PPE nyelvtípusba, azonban az újabb szakirodalomban egyes ilyen nyelvek esetében egymásnak ellentmondó megfigyeléseket és kísérletes eredményeket találunk a diszjunkció +/–PPE státuszát illetően. Ezek az ellentmondások felvetik annak a lehetőségét, hogy egy nyelv diszjunkciójának +/–PPE státusza mellett más, eddig nem tanulmányozott tényezők is szerepet játszhatnak a diszjunktív tagadó mondatok SZD olvasatának elérhetőségében.

Mindezek fényében tanulmányunk azt célt tűzte ki, hogy empirikus módszerekkel vizsgálja (i) a magyar diszjunktív tagadó mondatok két lehetséges hatóköri olvasatának elérhetőségét, valamint (ii) a mondatprozódiának ezen értelmezések elérhetőségére gyakorolt potenciális hatását. Az elfogadhatósági kísérletünkben gyűjtött ítéletek azt mutatják, hogy a magyarban az SZD olvasat jelölt ugyan, de messze nem elérhetetlen. Prozódiai percepciós kísérletünk eredményei pedig arra utalnak, hogy a prozódia jelentősen képes befolyásolni a két lehetséges értelmezés elérhetőségét, és a számára kedvező prozódia mellett az SZD olvasatot a beszélők az esetek közel felében elfogadják. Ez a kimenetel a prozódia jelentős – és mindeddig felnőtt beszélők körében semelyik nyelvben ki nem mutatott – szerepét támasztja alá a tagadott diszjunktív mondatok értelmezésében. A tanulmány eredményei új kutatási kérdéseket vetnek fel a diszjunkció parametrikus PPE-elmélete számára.
Workforce Planning Tool for the consulting industry using LinkedIn data
Authors: Oda Takeshi
Published: January 2023

I developed a Workforce Planning Tool to help a management consulting executive to launch a new service line and plan the organization structure aligned with its growth goal. As rapid change in talent demands in the management consulting industry, the tool aimed to give a simulation of career progressions for emerging professionals whose pattern is not well known in traditional consultants and recommend recruiting plan to maximize future revenue growth. Literature review confirmed applications of stochastic processes to organizations dynamism, e.g., recruiting, promotion and resignation. Additional review found operations research methods to solve human resource assignment problems. In this study, I used LinkedIn user profile from a bench mark firm to imitate a new organization. 502 LinkedIn profiles from Deloitte Digital UK was trained on a Semi-Markov model to forecast future organization structure. Semi-Markov Chain was implemented via msSurv R package to model the transition probabilities between job titles. Finally, a Linear Programming was solved to generate optimized number of additional recruits to maximize revenue growth in five years. It obtained approximately 535% revenue growth with additional 269 recruits for five years planning horizon. The sensitivity analysis revealed that retention of Associate level is critical to make the organization structure grow healthy. The tool also demonstrated the capability to control preferable ratio between staff and managers through solving optimized recruiting plan. With the capability the different recruiting plans were obtained for the typical organization strategies (1) Junior leveraging and (2) Gray Hair model. While demonstrated the usefulness of LinkedIn data as an organization benchmark on Workforce Planning, lessons such as lower sample size, time consuming data collection were left for a future opportunity.

The main motivation behind this paper is the question ‘What is the factorization of

n
when
n is an even positive integer?’ which
was and
is frequently asked on the Internet by many high school and university students and, to my knowledge, even the specialized textbooks and research articles have not yet answered the question, and over time the question itself is transformed into a problem that needs to be solved. In the present article, the question is positively answered and the problem is solved through the detailed study of the factorization that leads directly to an apparently new type of indefinite irrational integrals.
The impact of corrosion on the fatigue life of steel bridges
Authors:   , Macho Martin
Published: January 2023

Decades-old steel bridges have to endure an unfavourable environment that causes the ageing and deterioration of material properties. Moreover, railway bridges in particular are exposed to a large number of stress ranges that may lead to fatigue damage. The combination of both phenomena has a significant impact on the condition of bridges and their remaining service life. However, there is no relevant background information that can be used in assessment of this phenomenon. There are almost no recommendations for civil engineers how to take into account the corrosion weakening for the assessment of bearing capacity and fatigue strength of riveted members. For this reason, the subject of the doctoral thesis was to analyse and describe the relation between corrosion and fatigue. The research was based on experimental fatigue tests performed on corrosion-weakened specimens taken from a bridge structure more than 120 years old. The relationships between various parameters characterizing the corroded surface of the specimens and the fatigue life were investigated. Subsequently, a methodology was developed to predict the remaining service life of existing steel riveted bridges considering the effects of fatigue and corrosion. The derived relationships were implemented in the methodology. In the next phase, using MATLAB software, an analytical software tool (called FALCom) for the prediction of the remaining fatigue life has been developed. The results of experimental research were integrated into this tool. Various scenarios regarding the future maintenance of bridges were included in the program, thus making it possible to calculate the remaining service life of bridges, including corresponding costs. The application of the developed methodology and the use of the program is shown in the doctoral thesis through a case study aimed at the assessment of the residual life of a railway bridge.
Production and characterization of polyurethane/expanded graphite composites for industrial food preservation
Authors: Güngör Ertuğral Tuğba
Published: January 2023

Thermal insulation materials extend the shelf life of food and reduce energy consumption. Polyurethane (PU) insulation materials are often used to keep food hot and cold. Improving the thermal insulation properties of PU can significantly contribute to energy savings and lower food-related costs in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Polyurethane/expanded graphite (PU/EG) composites were obtained by hot-pressing by adding expanded graphite (EG) to PU foams. Composites with 0.05%, 5%, and 10% EG were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

The paper describes the chemical modification of PVC consisting in the introduction of amino groups (1,4-dioxane, diethylenetriamine), and then cross-linking with dichlorodiethyl ether. The optimal extraction time was obtained for the polymer that had more chlorine atoms substituted with diethylenetriamine groups and ether. The obtained polymers were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (CHN) and differential thermal analysis (DTA).
Against Christianization: Socio-Religious Movements in Magelang after the Java War
Authors: Fatkhan Muhammad , Abdurrahman Dudung , Hak Nurul
Published: January 2023

This paper explores the aftermath of the Java War on the socio-religious climate in Magelang. The rate of Christianization in that landscape accelerated following the war between the colonial regime and local residents. The discussion reconsiders the strategies of two leading figures of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah in stemming Christianization in the 19th-century Magelang. The Christian missionary agenda in Magelang was accomplished by eliciting the community’s sympathy. The missionaries built public hospitals and churches for local residents and hence held the congress of Catholic political associations and De Gereformeerde zending in Midden-Java in Magelang. The Dutch government also issued various policies to suppress Islamic movements. This paper finds that Dalhar Abdurrahman and Ahmad Dahlan responded to the missionary agenda in Magelang with non-confrontational strategies. Dalhar divided the socio-religious landscape of Magelang into two regions, the South and the North, based on the situation of Christian development. Dalhar also build a pesantren in Watucongkol and initiated the foundation of the Magelang Branch of NU to coordinate Muslim reformists. Dahlan halted Christianization by establishing a modern educational institution called Kweekschool Islam in an effort to compete with Dutch schools in Magelang. Dahlan also frequently engaged in dialogues and debates with the Christian missionaries.

3D printing is a well-known technology for producing 3D objects by depositing successive layers of material. Among its many applications, the fashion industry has taken advantage of this technology to revolutionize its brands. Due to the unique properties of textiles, such as comfort, flexibility, etc., attempts have been made to create textile-like structures. Structures with different geometries were designed and printed using different materials ranging from rigid to flexible. In this study, three different basic geometric structures were designed using the Blender program (a free open-source 3D modelling software). Each geometric structure was designed in two different sizes with smaller and larger basic structural elements. In this case, six different models were created. The aim of this study was to compare the textile-like surfaces of different basic geometric shapes produced with 3D printers. It also aimed to investigate the use of surfaces designed with basic geometric shapes in the textile-like material for fashion industries. In the production phase, the fused deposition modelling (FDM) process was chosen, and ABS and TPU materials were used. Various tests were performed, such as weight tests, and tensile and flexural strength tests on models with different basic geometric shapes and sizes. An examination of the test results showed that the different geometric shapes of the various basic structures and the different materials used have an overall effect on the final properties of the structures. It was concluded that the obtained results can be used as a reference and could be helpful for researchers in the use of 3D printers in the textile-like material and fashion material industries.

Published: January 2023

A mathematical model is presented to simulate the electric resistivity of leather samples as a function of humidity. It will be shown that absolute and not relative humidity is the crucial parameter. The model assumes that the leather includes channels that can absorb water from the surrounding environment. This effect primarily determines the electric conductivity of the leather samples. The theoretical results from the model are quite closely in line with experimental measurements.
