Summary: Clothing consumption is increasing globally, leading to unsustainable levels of post-consumer waste. This paper addresses the causes of garment failure and proposes solutions to increase their durability. Pilling and colour fading are the most common causes of garment failure. Technical durability and effective management of product development and manufacturing processes are important for improving garment durability. Collaboration, testing, and improved technical skills are necessary for implementing technical solutions.

Summary: This article proposes a novel approach to enhance the performance of personalized fashion recommendation systems using a conflict rule processing mechanism. By utilizing subjective evaluation and fuzzy logic, the relationship between fashion-style words and garment component elements is established and applied to the personalized fashion recommendation system. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed mechanism and its ability to improve the success rate of recommendations.

Summary: This article examines the cultural geography of fashion cities, focusing on independent fashion designers' relationships with their city. It highlights the complexities of fashion cities, emphasizing the interplay between industry, culture, retail and design. The concept of the fashion city itself is elusive, with cities presenting multiple characteristics that make them unique at a particular moment.

Summary: There has been an increase in sustainability awareness in the fashion industry, and consumers perceive slow fashion as having higher word of mouth and status. This perception is influenced by non-conformity, pro-environmental, and frugality signals. Customization enhances consumers' sense of ownership, thereby increasing status.

Summary: This paper explores the significance of the forward convergence constraint in time analysis and discusses how a combination of tense logic and alethic logic can achieve both linear order and branching. It also reviews several examples of alethic-tense logics and provides a brief philosophical discussion.

Summary: This study explores and analyzes the VR fashion space and fashion experience through immersive VR and fashion shows. The results suggest that the physical representation of a fashion show can induce a sense of presence, and participants may experience cognitive confusion and creative inspiration in the fashion show space.

Summary: The design algorithm for binary reversible circuits based on the decomposition of permutations as cascade of disjoint cycles (CD algorithm) is extended to the ternary domain. Its performance is evaluated by comparing it to the transformation based MMD algorithm using all 362,880 ternary reversible functions of two arguments as a benchmark. The results show that the MMD algorithm generally achieves comparable or lower costs than the CD algorithm, and the CD algorithm consistently achieves lower costs than decomposition into transpositions and 3-cycles.

Summary: This paper presents a novel fuzzy control strategy for generating limit cycles with specific behaviors in nonlinear complex dynamics. The proposed controller utilizes interval type-3 fuzzy logic, enhancing the quality of the closed-loop response and robust performance. An adaptively learned backstepping controller based on fuzzy control is employed to analyze convergence and robustness. Various simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the fuzzy-based control law and adaptation rules.

Summary: The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is mutated in around half of human cancers, leading to the emergence of the prion p53 hypothesis which suggests that mutant p53 promotes tumor progression. This report challenges the hypothesis by reviewing p53 behavior in light of our current understanding of amyloid proteins, prionoids, and prions.

Summary: This paper proposes a strategy optimization based on fuzzy logic control (FLC) and driving cycle recognition for energy management in fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), aiming to achieve near-optimal fuel economy and stable battery charge sustenance. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can effectively smooth the output of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and enhance the total fuel economy.

Summary: This paper delves into the historical evolution and current situation of Adlib Ibiza fashion, highlighting its role as a tool for promoting tourism rather than an independent economic sector. The study also reveals the strong link between the brand and its businesses, which may contribute to a potential decline in the future.

Summary: Directed cycles (DCs) have all nodes connected, allowing for intransitive logic and selection based on minimizing entropy loss and maximizing information entropy gain. The intransitive logic underlying DCs enhances their programmability and impacts evolution, playing a crucial role in the persistence, adaptability, and self-awareness of living organisms.

Summary: Cultural evolution is not only caused by social learning, but involves multiple mechanisms acting together, and research should be more diversified. Research should span different levels of organization, including neural, cognitive-behavioral, and populational levels, to delve into various aspects of cultural evolution. Studying mechanisms across levels can increase explanatory power and reveal gaps and misconceptions in knowledge.

Summary: In summation experiments, the response to a compound stimulus is evaluated after conditioning the response to each of its components. This study introduces a new method to quantify generalization from components to compound in summation experiments, and applies it to various measurements in different species. The findings suggest that the sensory modality of stimuli plays a significant role in the degree of summation.

Summary: The research found that negative content is more likely to be transmitted in traditional transmission chain experiments and more likely to be shared online. Threat-related information is successful in transmission chain experiments but not in sharing, while information eliciting disgust has no advantage in either case.

Summary: This study bridges the gap between associative and normative theories of animal learning, showing that associative systems can exhibit probabilistic inference by transforming associative strengths into response probabilities. It also suggests a normative interpretation of stimulus generalization as a heuristic for inferring redundant or independent information about reinforcement.

Summary: We analyzed over 2 million tweets related to the nature documentary "Our Planet" and found that the sentiment was largely negative at the time of release, primarily due to a highly retweeted negative tweet. Species mentioned in the documentary were associated with more negative sentiment compared to control species. Our results highlight the challenge of evoking positive sentiment towards environmental issues on social media.

Summary: This study focuses on how culture can be produced and maintained through convergent transformation, without the need for copying or selection processes. The results show that high-fidelity copying and convergent transformation are not opposing forces, but can work together to contribute to cultural stability. Furthermore, the analysis highlights how non-random transformation and high-fidelity copying have different evolutionary signatures at the population level, allowing for their distinct effects to be distinguished in empirical records.
