Tandem Gait

This study investigated the effects of haptic sensory input by different types of clothing worn on gait performance. Twelve healthy men performed normal and tandem gait tests with blindfolds under three different clothing conditions: (1) wearing only half tights (HT); (2) wearing a skirt-like draped outfit such as a cotton cloth wrapped around the waist and extended to the lower leg (DC); and (3) wearing a trouser-like outfit such as tracksuit bottoms (TS). Although gait speed was significantly increased in DC as compared with HT, this was not observed in TS. Missteps during tandem gait were significantly reduced with DC. In addition, DC made walking easier for individuals as compared with TS. These findings suggest that wearing a skirt-like outfit such as kilts in Scotland or the hakama in Japan may provide haptic sensory cues to enhance individuals’ perceptions of their body orientation as compared with trouser-like clothing that is in continuous contact with the legs.

Abstract The suitability, availability, and use of protective clothing are critical factors determining the actual dermal exposure (ADE) of operators and workers to pesticides. A realistic assessment of occupational exposure to pesticides requires information about the performance of protective clothing during everyday use. In this study, the performance of clothing or gloves has been investigated based on available dermal exposure data in order to provide recommendations for default protection factors that can be used in regulatory exposure assessments. Suitable dermal exposure data from available exposure databases were collated and analysed. The data that met the selection criteria for the analysis of the performance of protective clothing comprised studies in which protective clothing like cotton coveralls, cotton clothing, polyester–cotton coveralls, Sontara coveralls, Tyvek coveralls, butyl/neoprene gloves, latex/PE/vinyl/PVC gloves, or nitrile gloves were worn. Based on available potential and ADE levels, the migration of pesticides through this protective clothing was estimated. Evaluation of exposure data showed that on average only 2.3–2.6% of the pesticides present on the outside of the clothing or gloves migrated through the garments, although there was a large variation with migration up to 99%. Forearms, legs, and chest areas of the clothing tended to have the greatest migration of pesticides. Caution is needed in the selection of the appropriate protection offered protective clothing for specific situations. This study gives valuable information on the performance of protective clothing, for use in exposure assessment and for default setting in exposure modelling, taking into account the type of clothing or gloves worn. As new data become available, it may be possible to further refine the protection factors offered by different types of clothing or gloves, particularly where a common protocol has been used.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a male teacher's clothing and selected students' characteristics on students' perceptions of teachers' characteristics. The sample consisted of 152 male and female high school students. Respondents selected one of four photographs of a male teacher model dressed in four different clothing styles for each of 20 teachers' characteristic statements. The mediating effects of students' gender, formality of clothing, and perceptions of the importance of clothing were also investigated. Significant differences among the four clothing styles were found for all 20 statements. Students' gender and rated importance of clothing had some influence on this relationship. The results supplement previous research on female teachers by suggesting that different types of clothing also influence students' perceptions of male teachers and that students' characteristics have some mediating effect.

The article considers using clothing items during the traditional Mari wedding gift exchange ceremony. In addition to its emblematic function represented by a dress as a whole, the Mari wedding clothing has always been a part of the wedding gift exchange ritual. Though, it rarely was an object of research in this respect. The rite of exchange of the clothing items takes an important place in the Mari wedding procedure, because it pinpoints social relations of different levels, of both individual and group levels. Items of exchange serve as communication mediators and form a pattern of the rite. The research is based on the archival exhibits and written sources of the Russian museum of ethnography. Apart from that, the author’s field materials for the period from 2009 to 2018 obtained through own expeditionary work in various regions of the Mari El were used. Based on the sources, the article analyses information on the extent of the clothing’s significance and usage as an object of the gift exchange ceremony, considers different types of clothing items used for the exchange as well as their possible equivalents, discloses relevant features of these items. The paper specifies levels of the wedding ceremony with an exchange of the clothing items fixed. In particular, a primary secret agreement, marriage proposal, gifting guests with a bride are crucial components of the rite with a public agreement present. The study of the Mari wedding gift exchange seems to be promising, as, despite a transformed wedding ceremony, the procedure itself remains unchanged, being one of the most sustainable mechanisms of the public regulation.
