This article identifies, systematizes, analyzes and maps proposals and experiences for the application of nanotechnology to the textile industry and as hypotheses in which fabrics, classified as “smart”, have been fed industrially in fashion design in 2020. Therefore, it is considered design and human beings have an inseparable link, making it essential to raise aspects not yet fully mapped of the relationship of “smart fabrics”, that is, those sought through the implementation of nanotechnology in stages of the textile production process, with design fashion, which aims to establish an interface between human beings and clothing. In this sense, the method used for this qualitative investigation essentially contemplates a descriptive-observational modality of study of recognition. The choice of this theme is due to the scientific development of nanotechnology, which allows, through its technological manipulation, the modification and reinvention of materials and processes, so that structures can work at molecular and atomic levels, self-organizing and realigning itself in response to external stimuli, becoming in the end a resource for the improvement of textiles (JORDÃO, 2009). However, despite constant research and the development of the technical capacity of this resource, the study of the relationship between “smart fabrics” and fashion design is still quite scarce. It is known that such information is fundamental for the consolidation of this innovation process in the textile industry and, consequently, for the satisfaction of users (SENAI-SP, 2012; SOLOMON, 2011; SAWHNEY et al., 2008; COLCHESTER, 2007). In addition, according to May (2007, p.164), there are several products on the market that use nanotechnology without the knowledge of society,since the products are not labeled with this information and there is no specific regulation. Among these products are fabrics. The verification ofthis data makes this article pertinent to society, which is insipient to the subject. And, from a marketing point of view, the research is relevant, as itmay help to educate fashion designers, brands and users about the “smart fabrics” available. The combination of the above factors and the understanding of the situations in which “smart fabrics” are integrated into fashion design arerelevant elements to the theme of the conference “Design as common good”, since the research seeks to identify, systematize, analyze and map , through the proposed methodological tools, paths and directions of fashion design, addressing relevant issues such as their role in contemporary times, as well as directing new possibilities, using “smart fabrics” as a material resource in this process, serving as a parallel for other converging needs in other areas. The results of this study thus provide inputs to fashion designers and users, as well as associations of technical standards, the textile industry and the innovation sector, seeking to fill the gap identified about the lack of information in relation to situations where nanotechnology is being integrated into fashion design in 2020.

The Relationship

This article discusses the mobilization of the nation for fashion, based on how the relationship between fashion and nation unfolds in the case of fashion design practice and the fashion industry in Denmark. The otherwise globalized fashion industry is equally involved in what I term “catwalking the nation,” both as a way to construct a cosmopolitan nationalist discourse for the post-industrial nation and as a strategy for local fashion industries to promote collective identity in order to strengthen potential market share, which is the focus of this article. What may at first appear in the Danish case as an absurd and non-productive relationship is actually significant, I would argue, despite its complexity. It has the potential to stimulate critical fashion design practice and give fashion designers a voice, allowing them to take an active part in contemporary public debates on important issues such as nationalism and cosmopolitanism in the age of globalization.

The Relationship

The existence of the relationship between fashion and art dates back to old times. The aim of Worth and Poiret with the arising of haute couture in 19th century was the acceptance of fashion designers as artists. Even though this situation has never realized completely, many designers continued designing clothing with the sense of art and still do. The subject that unites design and art on the common ground is that there is an effort of creating an esthetical product at the end of both activities. In this direction, art lessons have always been a part of design education. As in every design field, in fashion design field art lessons take place in the curriculum. Art provides the inspiration for the designers; students and other designers design clothing by being influenced by the art. Thus, art becomes an eternal research field for designers, art literacy comes into prominence in this respect. The aim of this research is to discuss the relationship of art and fashion within its historical development and reveal the art literacy of the students of the department of fashion design. The research has been carried out in Eskisehir Anadolu University Faculty of Architecture and Design Department of Fashion Design. The method of the research is descriptive. In order to obtain the research data along with literature review art literacy scale that is developed by Assistant Professor Doctor İzzet Yucetoker has been used. Scale 96 has been applied on fashion design student.Keywords: fashion, art, fashion design, art literacy.

Fashion design with ecology orientation has become a trend because of the environmental crisis. In recent years, ecological and environmental crisis has become a big issue. With our social and economical activities development, human beings have consumed so many natural resources that it has created the crisis on ecology and environment. In 21 century, ecological fashion industry has become a booming industry. The fashion design has entered a new era of putting people first and going green design. The consciousness of cost effectively consumption has been recognized all over the world. Compared with that in developed countries, the development of ecological design is relatively late and slow in China. China has a big room in developing ecological fashion industry. This paper would analyze the issues of Going Green Fashion Design by making research on ecological materials and fabrics, virtual efforts, and wearing method. Ecological fashion design has created a new room for both fashion designers and fashion enterprises. Fashion industry has confronted a Going Green Reform, which makes us better health and better life. Efficiently using limited nature resources is most important concept for all designers. Fashion designers should take this as their duties and responsibilities.

Phenomenal States

This chapter applies the psychological account from chapter 3 on how we rank human beings above other animals, to the particular case of using mental states to assign animals moral status. Experiments on the psychology of mental state attribution are discussed, focusing on their implications for human moral psychology. The chapter argues that attributions of phenomenal states, like emotions, drive our assignments of moral status. It also describes how this is significantly impacted by the process of dehumanization. Psychological research on anthropocentrism and using animals as food and as companions is discussed in order to illuminate the relationship between dehumanization and mental state attribution.

This book argues that we are obligated to treat all sentient animals as “ends in themselves.” Drawing on a theory of the good derived from Aristotle, it offers an explanation of why animals are the sorts of beings who have a good. Drawing on a revised version of Kant’s argument for the value of humanity, it argues that rationality commits us to claiming the standing of ends in ourselves in two senses. As autonomous beings, we claim to be ends in ourselves when we claim the standing to make laws for ourselves and each other. As beings who have a good, we also claim to be ends in ourselves when we take the things that are good for us to be good absolutely and so worthy of pursuit. The first claim commits us to joining with other autonomous beings in relations of reciprocal moral lawmaking. The second claim commits us to treating the good of every sentient animal as something of absolute importance. The book also argues that human beings are not more important than, superior to, or better off than the other animals. It criticizes the “marginal cases” argument and advances a view of moral standing as attaching to the atemporal subjects of lives. It offers a non-utilitarian account of the relationship between the good and pleasure, and addresses questions about the badness of extinction and about whether we have the right to eat animals, experiment on them, make them work for us, and keep them as pets.

This chapter addresses the classical question of the relationship between enlightenment and religion. In doing so, the chapter compares Jürgen Habermas's thought to that of Pierre Bayle and Immanuel Kant. For, although Habermas undoubtedly stands in a tradition founded by Bayle and Kant, he develops a number of important orientations within this tradition and has changed his position in his recent work. The chapter studies this change to understand Habermas's position better. It also draws attention to a fundamental question raised by the modern world: what common ground can human reason establish in the practical and theoretical domain between human beings who are divided by profoundly different religious (including antireligious) views?

This article engages with how religion and economy relate to each other in faith-based businesses. It also elaborates on a recurrent idea in theological literature that reflections on different visions of time can advance theological analyses of the relationship between Christianity and capitalism. More specifically, this article brings results from an ethnographic study of two faith-based businesses into conversation with the ethicist Luke Bretherton’s presentation of different understandings of the relationship between Christianity and capitalism. Using Theodore Schatzki’s theory of timespace, the article examines how time and space are constituted in two small faith-based businesses that are part of the two networks Business as Mission (evangelical) and Economy of Communion (catholic) and how the different timespaces affect the religious-economic configurations in the two cases and with what moral implications. The overall findings suggest that the timespace in the Catholic business was characterized by struggling caused by a tension between certain ideals on how religion and economy should relate to each other on the one hand and how the practice evolved on the other hand. Furthermore, the timespace in the evangelical business was characterized by confidence, caused by the business having a rather distinct and achievable goal when it came to how they wanted to be different and how religion should relate to economy. There are, however, nuances and important resemblances between the cases that cannot be explained by the businesses’ confessional and theological affiliations. Rather, there seems to be something about the phenomenon of tension-filled and confident faith-based businesses that causes a drive in the practices towards the common good. After mapping the results of the empirical study, I discuss some contributions that I argue this study brings to Bretherton’s presentation of the relationship between Christianity and capitalism.

Substrate Binding Domain

Fbw7 (F-box WD40 protein 7) is a major tumour suppressor, which mediates the degradation of several potent oncogenes. PKC (protein kinase C) comprises a serine/threonine kinase family that can promote transformation when dysregulated. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between Fbw7 and PKC. Multiple members of the PKC superfamily interact with the substrate-binding domain of Fbw7. However, we find no evidence for Fbw7-mediated degradation of PKC. Instead, we demonstrate that Fbw7 is a novel substrate for PKC. Two residues within the isoform-specific N-terminus of Fbw7α are phosphorylated in a PKC-dependent manner, both in vitro and in mammalian cells (Ser10 and Ser18). Mutational analyses reveal that phosphorylation of Fbw7α at Ser10 can regulate its nuclear localization. Cancer-associated mutations in nearby residues (K11R and the addition of a proline residue at position 16) influence Fbw7α localization in a comparable manner, suggesting that mislocalization of this protein may be of pathological significance. Together these results provide evidence for both physical and functional interactions between the PKC and Fbw7 families, and yield insights into the isoform-specific regulation of Fbw7α.
