Design of Pants with Integrated Hip Pads for Patients with Lower Limb Hemiplegia Due to Polio 소아마비로 인한 하지 편마비 환자용 엉덩이 패드 적용 바지 설계
This study aimed to analyze the physical characteristics of individuals with polio-related disabilities to develop pants with integrated hip pads. The methodology included in-depth interviews conducted with male individuals with polio-related disabilities, after which the pants and hip pads were designed and evaluated for fit. The results of the in-depth interviews showed that waist circumference, hip circumference, inseam length, and pant length are important factors to take into account when designing pant patterns for polio-disabled individuals. The process of developing the patterns was conducted as follows. Since these individuals often show asymmetry in left and right waist measurements, the pattern was drafted to accommodate the difference on each side. Also, since their left and right hip measurements are different, the pattern was designed such that a pad could be inserted into the smaller hip area. Adding ease to the crotch area was also found to be effective in this regard. Lastly, the pants were designed with differing leg lengths, since this is a common feature of individuals with polio disabilities. Consequently, the findings offer valuable insights for designing effective hip-pad-integrated pants tailored to the needs of patients with lower limb hemiplegia due to polio.

Clothing absorbs various odors from the human body and environment, diminishing its aesthetic and hygienic properties. These odors are perceived as unsanitary, increasing demand for successful deodorization methods. This study aims to explore effective deodorization methods using a garment care machine. When garments were exposed to air, ammonia was effectively removed. However, when garments were left untreated inside the machine, air circulation was restricted, resulting in slower deodorization rates. Additional deodorization experiments were conducted using fans, steam, and mechanical action. Fans demonstrated effective deodorization by promoting air circulation and removing hydrophilic odor substances adsorbed or absorbed by the fibers. Steam showed some effectiveness on outer polyester fabrics but reacted with the natural oils in goose down samples, generating new unpleasant odors. Mechanical action alone yielded minimal deodorization effects and was deemed ineffective as a standalone method. The most effective deodorization performance was achieved within a relatively short treatment time when fan, steam, and mechanical action were applied concurrently. The results of this study provide fundamental insights into sustainable garment care and may contribute to the advancement of deodorization technology and the extension of garment lifespan.

This study investigates the mediating role of luxury brand pop-up store experiences in the relationship between social networking service (SNS) usage motivations and post-experience behavioral intentions and examines whether brand knowledge moderates the effects of these experiences on word-of-mouth and purchase intention. A survey was conducted in February 2025, and data from 400 respondents were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, which included frequency, factor, mediation, and hierarchical regression analyses. SNS usage motivations were categorized into relational, informational, and entertainment types, and pop-up store experiences were classified into emotional, social, and educational experiences. Mediation analysis revealed that emotional and social experiences significantly mediated the relationship between SNS usage motivations and word-of-mouth intention, whereas social and educational experiences significantly mediated the relationship between SNS usage motivations and purchase intention. Finally, brand knowledge positively moderated the relationship between emotional experience and purchase intentions but negatively moderated the relationship between educational experience and purchase intention.

Electrical Output Performance of 3D Printed Triboelectric Nanogenerators with Various Type of Carbon Materials/Thermoplastic Polyurethane Filaments
This study evaluated the production and performance of soft triboelectric nanogenerators manufactured via FFF (fused filament fabrication)-based 3D printing using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), graphene/TPU (GR/TPU), and carbon black/TPU (CB/TPU) filaments. Mechanical and electrical properties were tested to systematically investigate structural parameters: solid and re-entrant (RE) structures, thicknesses (10-50 mm), orientations (0° and 90°), and dielectric layers (PET and PTFE). The 3D-printed CB/TPU electrodes exhibited the highest electrical performance, with capacitance values of up to 3.0 × 10-8 F, an impedance reduced to∼10² Ω, and a current density reaching 12 μA/cm2. The solid structure yielded greater conductivity, while the RE configuration enabled flexibility. The maximum output voltage of CB/TPU reached 3.22 V for C25-RE0, approximately 0.5 V higher than that of GR/TPU. PTFE was the most effective dielectric given its strong electron affinity and stable charge transfer. The optimal configuration was the CB/TPU electrodes with a 10 to 25 mm thickness in RE0 combined with PTFE, thereby offering high output stability. The findings confirm the advantages of FFF printing with commercial filaments, guiding the development of wearable and textile-based energy- harvesting systems.

This study investigates the psychological mechanisms through which actual-ideal self-discrepancy (AISD) is associated with luxury consumption behaviors among South Korean Generation-MZ consumers. A theoretical model integrating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions is proposed, with anxiety as a mediator and self-oriented perfectionism as a moderator. Using data from 217 male and female consumers who had purchased luxury goods in the past year, the study employed SPSS and PROCESS macro for analysis. The results indicate that AISD positively influenced anxiety, impulsive buying, and conspicuous consumption. Anxiety respectively partially and fully mediated the relationship between AISD and impulsive buying and the relationship between AISD and conspicuous consumption. Self-oriented perfectionism does not moderate the relationship between AISD and impulsive buying but negatively moderates the relationship between AISD and conspicuous consumption. These findings provide insight into the emotional and personality-driven mechanisms of luxury consumption and offer practical implications for luxury brand strategies targeting consumers with varying psychological traits.
This study comparatively analyzed thermal stress on the hands caused by three gloves designed for use with level-C protective clothing under controlled conditions (28.0 ± 0.5℃, 60.0 ± 1.0% relative humidity, 0.2 ± 0.1 m/s): Glove A (nitrile), Glove B (Byron-butyl composite with laminated coating), and Glove C (nitrile with inner nylon knit liner). Measurements included in-glove relative humidity, skin and glove surface temperatures, and subjective thermal sensations during exercise. Thermographic images were analyzed using a YOLO-based detection model and Mathematica preprocessing. The in-glove relative humidity exceeded 90% within 5-7 min and 13-17 min on the dorsal side and the palm, respectively. Thereafter, humidity continued to rise on the back but declined slightly on the palm, indicating regional differences in perspiration and evaporation. Skin temperatures reached approximately 35℃ and 34℃ on the back and palm, respectively, and glove surface temperatures were comparable to skin temperatures, with no significant differences among gloves. Before exercise, Glove C was perceived as warmer and more humid; after exercise, discomfort increased across all gloves. Overall, the combined use of gloves and protective clothing caused rapid heat and moisture accumulation, reducing hand thermal comfort.

Investigation of User Satisfaction and Improvement Areas for Ready-Made Lumbar Support Braces Based on Consumer Interviews 소비자 인터뷰를 통한 시제품 허리보호대 만족도 및 개선 사항 조사
This study evaluated the functionality and wear comfort of five types of ready-made lumbar support braces by conducting in-depth interviews and surveys of eight middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s with a history of lumbar disorders. The number and arrangement of stays, as well as the height and material of the brace, significantly affected comfort and fixation. Lumbar support braces with two or four stays offered exceptional fixation and compression due to the appropriate number and placement of stays in these devices. Brace 3 exhibited excellent body conformity and comfort, although its fixation was relatively limited. The highly rigid brace 5 effectively relieved pain but restricted movement, making it uncomfortable for daily use among those experiencing moderate pain. The participants suggested improvements such as minimizing contact with sensitive areas (e.g., the chest and pelvis), using mesh materials with superior breathability and flexibility, incorporating four or more stays into braces, and employing Velcro fastenings. They also highlighted the need for design considerations based on gender, age, and pain severity, as well as clear usage guidelines for suitable conditions and pain levels for each product.

Development of a Representative 3D Head-Face Model for School-Age Children
This study develops a representative 3D head-face model for school-age Korean children using a systematic 3D modelling workflow to capture characteristic head-face dimensions. Ten 3D scans of children aged 7-13 were used to define 26 head and facial landmarks, and inter-measurer reliability was assessed among five trained measurers. Fifteen of the 26 landmarks showed high reliability (ICC > 0.6), with especially consistent measurements for prominent features such as the lips and chin. The newly proposed cheek-protrusion landmark also demonstrated high reliability and effectively characterized pediatric facial morphology. Compared with the EN 960 model, which relies on a scaled-down adult template, the proposed model provides a more realistic representation of children’s head-face shapes, reflecting their unique anatomical features. This improved fidelity is expected to inform the design of child-specific protective equipment, including helmets, masks, and eyewear― enhancing fit, comfort, and safety. The model and reliability data offer a practical basis for future pediatric ergonomics research and the development of tailored head-face products.

남영란 Young-ran Nam , 이미연 Mi-yeon Lee , 윤미경 Mi-kyung Yoon
This study proposes improvements to the Air Force flight suit sizing system to reflect evolving body measurements of personnel. Data from the Air Force Database (2021, 2024) and Size Korea (2015, 2021) were analyzed to assess anthropometric changes in Air Force personnel and adult males, using SPSS 22.0 for descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA. The results revealed significant increases in height (1.1 cm) and chest circumference (4.0 cm) among Korean adult males. Air Force personnel exhibited similar trends with increases of 1.0 cm in height and 0.8 cm in chest circumference. The current sizing system covered only 86.6% of personnel, indicating a need for improvement. The proposed sizing system comprises 35 sizes, introducing seven standard and seven special body type sizes to the existing 21, improving coverage by 10.8%. This data-driven approach provides a scientific methodology for modernizing military clothing sizing systems and is expected to significantly enhance flight suit fit for current Air Force personnel.

This study proposes a methodology to address the challenges presented by the unstructured and multimodal nature of the technical package, which is a core dataset in the apparel manufacturing industry. The technical package often includes textual inconsistencies, such as abbreviations, synonyms, and typographical errors, and presents challenges in integrating information from images, which hinders interoperability and automation. To overcome these limitations, a hierarchical ontology schema was designed to model domain-specific concepts in apparel production. Subsequently, a T5 model was fine-tuned based on terminology extracted from industrial technical packages to achieve high-performance term normalization. The normalized data was then used to construct a knowledge graph within a Neo4j database. The practical utility of the resulting knowledge graph was validated through analytical queries that identified key materials affecting manufacturing time, latent design patterns, and indicators of product complexity. By transforming unstructured production data into a machine- readable and inferable knowledge asset, this study establishes a foundational framework for intelligent apparel manufacturing systems.
The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in the production and consumption of domestically produced machine-woven cotton textiles during the 1920s, a period marked by an active domestic product promotion movement. The research methods consisted of: Newspaper articles and advertisements related to textiles, fabrics, clothing, and the Korea production movement were collected, along with forty-one women’s magazines to supplement the data. A total of 203 relevant newspaper articles and advertisements were selected to analyze developments in the Korean textile industry and the characteristics of machine-woven cotton textiles during this decade. The results of this study are as follows. First, in the 1920s, Korean textile companies expanded their production capacity in response to the influx of imported textiles, investing in new looms and other machinery to facilitate the mass production of domestically produced machine-made textiles. Second, in the 1920s, Koreans increasingly purchased domestically produced textiles, such as traditional fabrics and cotton produced by domestic companies, to counter Japan’s economic encroachment. Third, domestically produced cotton textiles were developed and manufactured to compete with Japanese cotton textiles. Examples include Hanyangmok, Dongyangmok, Taegeukseong, Wasamok, Wasadan, Songgojik, and Sumok.

The textile and fashion industry is one of the most environmentally impactful sectors globally, making the digital product passport (DPP) a critical instrument for advancing sustainability and circular economy goals. This study analyzes research trends on DPP within the textile and fashion industry using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from articles published between 2020 and March 2025 using Google Scholar. Following the PRISMA framework, 489 relevant publications were identified and analyzed using VOSviewer for keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis. The results reveal a sharp increase in scholarly attention after the European Union’s announcement of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation in 2022. The analysis identified five main research domains: production and waste management, policy and adoption barriers, analytical and theoretical discussions, sustainability and circular textile systems, and technical implementation with transparency issues. Transparency, traceability, and blockchain emerged as central themes, underscoring the role of reliable data and digital technologies in enabling sustainable practices. Despite growing interest, empirical studies-particularly those on consumer responses, stakeholder collaboration, and implementation strategies- remain limited. This study contributes to the literature by mapping the academic landscape of DPP in textiles and suggesting directions for future research and practice to support sustainable transitions in the fashion sector.

Clothing pressure is a key factor in the functionality and comfort of sports compression wear. Using 3D virtual fitting and dynamic avatars to reflect body movements and fabric properties, this study proposes a design process that extracts clothing pressure boundaries and applies them to pattern development. Compression pants made of five tricot fabrics were simulated in CLO 3D, while the dynamic avatars, representing upright posture, box jumping, burpee, and running motions, were generated using Mixamo. Boundary lines were extracted by linearizing clothing pressure data above a defined threshold, with the results showing that, in upright posture, fabric properties and avatar body shape were the main factors influencing boundary formation, particularly around the knee, shin, and calf. In dynamic motions, meanwhile, posture changes had a greater impact on boundary distribution, with high pressure appearing at the front waist, thigh, and shin, and at the hip and calf on the back. Fabrics with higher elastic modulus and thickness produced broader and more intensive pressure zones, with their properties exerting greater influence on design line determination than motion. This study introduces a novel methodology that combines dynamic avatar-based pressure simulation with quantitative boundary extraction, offering a new approach to sports compression wear design.
