http://ijaers.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us May With millions of tons of materials discarded annually during production, the fashion sector is one of the largest contributors to textile waste worldwide. Zero-waste fashion design (ZWFD) aims to eliminate waste at every stage of clothing production. This study explores ZWFD concepts and methods, focusing on reducing material waste during production. The research examines design approaches including zero-waste patterns, fabric optimization, and upcycled materials. It also analyzes technical breakthroughs such as digital pattern-making and automated production. Using a mixed-methods approach (consumer survey, n=280; designer interviews, n=15; expert interviews, n=10; case studies, n=5), this study assesses environmental, economic, and social dimensions of ZWFD. Results show that while consumer awareness of ZWFD is moderate (57.9%), willingness to pay a premium remains low (27.9%). High prices (70.7%) and limited design variety (40%) are the primary adoption barriers. Scenario-based environmental indicators suggest ZWFD could reduce textile waste by 66.7% and carbon emissions by 37.5% compared to conventional production. The study contributes to sustainable fashion literature by providing empirical data on consumer perceptions alongside technical environmental estimates. http://ijaers.com/detail/zero-waste-fashion-design-minimizing-material-waste-in-the-production-process/ Md Kowsar Alam Sarker, Liu Lixian, Md Yousof Talukdar http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/1IJAERS-04202612-Zero-Waste.pdf The article presents a comparative assessment of the energy efficiency of cyclic high-pressure reagent injection systems and continuous-operation plunger pumps used for anticorrosion protection of oil and gas well equipment under high pressure, elevated temperature, and chemically aggressive multiphase media. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to solve simultaneously two interrelated tasks: maintaining a stable protective inhibitor film on the metal surface and reducing energy, material, and operating costs associated with reagent dosing. The aim of the work is to provide scientific and techno-economic substantiation of the advantages of cyclic dosing over traditional continuous and periodic injection schemes. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the integrated comparison of three technological approaches based on operational, economic, and physicochemical parameters, as well as in the interpretation of intermittent injection efficiency in terms of adsorption kinetics and the film lifetime effect. It has been established that cyclic systems maintain anticorrosion efficiency at 94% while reducing commercial inhibitor consumption by 73.6%, decreasing energy consumption, lowering pump equipment wear, and diminishing total operating costs. It is shown that switching pumps to a short-time, repeated-duty operating mode using hydraulic accumulators and intelligent control results in a more rational and technologically stable reagent injection regime. The article will be useful to researchers, oil and gas engineers, specialists in corrosion protection, automation, and energy-efficient technologies for field infrastructure. http://ijaers.com/detail/assessment-of-the-energy-efficiency-of-cyclic-high-pressure-reagent-injection-systems-compared-with-continuous-operation-plunger-pumps/ Ilnar Iakhin http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/2IJAERS-0520262-Assessment.pdf The fashion business is one of the most prominent economic sectors on a global scale, and it has a significant impact not only on society but also on the environment. The juxtaposition of zero waste fashion pattern methodology with conventional pattern approaches is the primary focus of the emphasis that is being placed on the promotion of sustainability within the fashion industry. A significant reduction in the amount of waste that is generated by the garment industry during the manufacturing cycle can be achieved through the utilization of zero waste pattern cutting. Furthermore, this method offers an alternative to traditional pattern creating processes that is more environmentally conscious, which helps to develop higher ecological sustainability that is more environmentally responsible. There are two techniques that make up the design process in traditional pattern-making. These methodologies include drafting patterns and draping patterns. A similar approach is taken in the zero waste fashion design process, which incorporates both the "design to pattern" and the "pattern to design" methodologies. In order to investigate the design process, analyze its potential, and assess its applications and influence within the fashion sector, a comprehensive comparison of different techniques is carried out. It is important to note that the zero waste fashion pattern is a technique for the creation of garment templates that aims to reduce the amount of textile waste produced during the manufacturing of apparel to less than 15%. In order to investigate and evaluate the differences between zero waste fashion patterns and standard fashion patterns within the fashion business, this study makes use of qualitative research methodologies, specifically literature reviews and simulations. After doing this research, the researchers came to the conclusion that the Zero-Waste pattern technique has emerged as a more sustainable solution for fostering environmental responsibility within the fashion sector. It is projected that the fashion industry will undergo a transformative change toward more sustainable practices on a broader scale. This shift is anticipated to occur as a result of the increased awareness of zero-waste design patterns and their capacity to positively influence the environment and generate better social progress. http://ijaers.com/detail/exploring-the-zero-waste-fashion-strategy-for-enhancing-fabric-utilization-in-sustainable-fashion/ Rahman Md Naimur, Zishun Yuan, Md Rokonuzzaman http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/3IJAERS-0520261-Exploring.pdf The Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA), as established by Regulatory Standard No. 17, is a crucial tool for identifying occupational risk factors and proposing interventions that promote a safer and healthier work environment. In healthcare services, continuous exposure to intense physical demands, inadequate postures, and high cognitive requirements significantly contributes to the development of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) and repetitive strain injuries (RSIs). Physicaltherapy plays a strategic role in both the prevention and rehabilitation of healthcare professionals. Its scope includes the ergonomic assessment of workstations, the implementation of compensatory and educational exercise programs, and the functional rehabilitation of worker saffected by occupational injuries. The integration between EWA and physiotherapeutic practice promotes not only a reduction in the incidence of RSIs and WMSDs but also improvements in quality of life, increased occupational safety, and enhanced organizational efficiency. Therefore, the systematic application of EWA, combined with physiotherapeutic interventions, constitutes a fundamental resource for promoting occupational health, especially among healthcare professionals, a group highly vulnerable to ergonomic risks. http://ijaers.com/detail/the-contribution-of-physiotherapy-in-ergonomic-analysis-prevention-and-treatment-of-musculoskeletal-disorders-and-repetitive-strain-injuries-in-healthcare/ Bruna Morais da Silva, Claudiana dos Santos Henrique, Leticia da Silva Cantao, Marcelly Soares dos Santos, Maria Eduarda de Oliveira Lopes, Maria Izabela da Costa Paixao, Nicoly Alves Ferraz, Pollyana Cardoso Franco, Raissa Oliveira Salomao, Daniel Rodrigues Silva http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/4IJAERS-05202699-Thecontribution.pdf The review paper highlights the low cost and biodegradability of jute as a sustainable substitute for synthetic fibers. It examines the impact of several surface modification techniques on the morphology, crystallinity, and interfacial behavior of jute, including alkali, silane, plasma, bleaching, and benzoylation. Alkali treatment increases crystallinity but does not lessen hydrophilicity. Benzoylation and silane enhance interfacial bonding but have no influence on mechanical strength. Roughness and activation are improved by plasma treatment; however, hydrophilicity is not addressed. In addition to a unique silane-plasma treatment worth investigating, the research suggests synergistic techniques, especially the alkali-silane combination, which enhances hydrophobicity and tensile strength. In general, it provides information about creating composites with sustainable fiber reinforcement. http://ijaers.com/detail/optimization-of-jute-fiber-surface-treatment-via-integrated-approach-a-conceptual-review/ Nafiz Mehmud Khan, Zakaria Ahmed, Tanim Ahmed, Md. Taibur Rahman Tushar, Atiqur Rahman http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/5IJAERS-0520265-Optimization.pdf This paper examines the revival of hand embroidery in Pakistan through the framework of "Thread Tales," contextualizing it within global artisan movements and cultural sustainability, and portraying embroidery as a medium that is expressive, narrative, and culturally regenerative. The study investigates the integration of storytelling within traditional stitchwork and the persistence of these embodied practices amid mechanized production. It accomplishes this by utilizing qualitative mixed-methods research, encompassing interviews with Pakistani artisans, visual analysis of handcrafted embroidery samples, observational field notes from textile-producing regions, and a critical synthesis of literature from feminist craft theory, postcolonial studies, and global fashion discourse. The research investigates motifs, textures, and material choices as vehicles for cultural and emotional transmission via visual ethnography and auto-ethnographic creative practice. The findings indicate that hand needlework functions as a cultural text that conveys themes of identity, memory, belonging, and resilience, particularly through the utilization of color, repetition, symbolic patterns, and the tactile irregularities of hand-stitched surfaces. The study's creative part is a "Thread Tale" made up of three embroidered pieces that show how traditional methods can be rethought using modern visual language to tell stories about individuals and groups. These results show that handicrafts can be a creative way to fight against industrial homogeneity because they offer depth, intimacy, and cultural continuity that mass production can't. The findings of the research show that hand embroidery, as shown in "Thread Tales," has a lot of potential to bring fashion back in line with place, culture, and human experience. It also supports fashion practices that are good for the environment and says that embroidery is more than just a decorative element; it is a living storehouse of cultural knowledge and changing identity. http://ijaers.com/detail/thread-tales-reviving-pakistan-s-hand-embroidery-traditions-in-the-machine-age/ Simran Khan, Dr. Xinhua Li, Mahnoor Munir http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/6IJAERS-0520263-Thread.pdf
