Sleep-wake behaviour during the first 12 months of life and associated factors: a systematic review

This paper aims to provide a systematic review of the literature on the associated factors with infant sleep-wake behaviour during the first 12 months of life, namely (1) the factors positively and negatively associated with sleep-wake behaviour and (2) the factors positively and negatively affected by sleep-wake behaviour. This systematic review was based on a standard protocol constructed according with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement and included 146 papers. Two typologies of factors were found in the literature: factors positively and negatively associated with infant sleep-wake behaviour and effects of sleep-wake behaviour. Different factors were identified as being positively and negatively associated with the different sleep-wake behaviours and positively and negatively affected by the different sleep-wake behaviours during the first 12 months of life. Some inconsistent results could be explained by methodological differences between the studies.This work was supported by FEDER Funds through the Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade – COMPETE and by National Funds through FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia under the project: PTDC/SAU/SAP/116738/ 2010 and SFRH/BD/113005/2015 PhD grant.

Comfort-related properties of woven fabrics produced from dri-release® yarns

The aim of this study was to manufacture active-wear fabrics that have a high clothing comfort, hence, a high added value. In the first stage of the study, a new double-layer woven fabric was designed to be used for active-wear and four different fabrics were manufactured by utilizing cotton, Tencel LF®, bamboo and Modal® yarns in addition to Dri-release® yarn. Then, thermal comfort properties of these fabrics were analyzed, statistically reviewed and compared to each other. At the end of the study, fabrics with optimum usage properties were suggested

Porównanie marży zysku tkanin produkowanych za pomocą ręcznych i automatycznych krosien-przypadek miasta Buldan w Turcji

The ever-changing senses of consumption and the fashion factor in the world have caused an ongoing increase in the demand for hand woven textiles in recent years. Therefore the prices of hand woven textiles, where the supply is limited, are on the rise. It is known that Buldan city, one of the centers of hand woven production in Anatolia, has significant commercial potential in this respect. The purpose of this study is to provide an insight into the industry by comparing the profit margin of products woven on hand looms and automatic looms in the textile industry in Buldan city and to raise awareness regarding the importance of production on hand looms. “Scarf”, which is the textile item most produced in Buldan, was selected for study. In the study the unit costs of scarves woven with insect silk, floss silk, cotton and linen yarn, which are widely used in production, on hand looms and automatic looms were calculated and profit margins obtained from average sales prices were compared. At the end of the study, it was seen that the profit margin of hand woven textiles was almost twice as high as those woven on automatic looms.Ciągłe zmiany w zapotrzebowaniu tekstyliów i czynnik mody spowodowały ostatnio postępujący, wzrost zapotrzebowania na tkaniny tkane ręcznie. Wobec tego ceny tego typu tkanin , których podaż jest ograniczona , znacznie wzrosły. Miasto Buldan, jedno z centrów wytwarzania tkanin ręcznie, posiada duży potencjał handlowy w tej dziedzinie. Celem prowadzonych badań była analiza porównawcza granic zysku przy produkcji ręcznej i automatycznej a także przekonanie producentów o opłacalności produkcji ręcznej. Brano pod uwagę koszty jednostkowe produktu tkanego z jedwabiu, bawełny i lnu oraz koszty energii,pracy ludzkiej oraz możliwe do uzyskania ceny za produkt gotowy

Comparison of jacket production processes designed by fabric materials and leather

Leather and leather products industry has shown a significant improvement in export area, as a result of intensive shuttle trades and demand that comes from crumbling Eastern Bloc countries in 1990's. This development has caused capacity increasing and thus makes large investments in this sector. Leather garment industry differs from woven or fabrics industry at various points. Differantation seems in raw materials features such as size, thickness, biological, chemical or physical homogenity. Due to the natural structure, leather shows different attributes in different regions. This study examines the diversity of production processes of leather and fabric designed jacket
