Consumers recognize the appearance and texture of fabric through viewing photographic images on E-commerce. However, the relationship between evaluations of the actual fabric and its image remains unclear. To understand the evaluation difference between actual fabric and its image, we investigated the relationship of visual evaluations including the price evaluation between actual white fabrics used for dress shirts and their photographic images concerning the online purchase of items presented by their photos. Participants evaluated the impressions of 24 white fabrics (actual fabrics and their images), comparing them with a standard white fabric. Participants also estimated the prices of shirts hypothetically made from different fabrics. We compared the difference between the results for actual fabrics and images. We also carried out a principal component analysis of those impressions and examined the relationship among principal component analysis results, weave structure, and fabric materials and price estimation. In a comparison of actual fabric and image evaluations, the impression of glossiness and brightness differed, with the actual fabrics being rated significantly higher in terms of glossiness and brightness. These differences are due to the difference in media (i.e., direct viewing versus screen display), although the visual environment of the lighting and displays may have had an effect. In principal component analysis, the first principal components were Delicateness and Glossiness for both actual fabrics and their images. The second principal components were Lightness and Coolness for the images of fabrics and Lightness, Coolness, and Softness for the actual fabrics. Fabrics evaluated highly in the first principal component had high price estimations. Thus, it is clear that Delicateness and Glossiness affected the price evaluation for both actual white fabrics and their images. Fabrics with a high value of Delicateness and Glossiness were a poplin made of at least 95% cotton. In contrast, fabrics containing linen and having a small repeating dobby pattern with roughness were evaluated as having low Delicateness and Glossiness and were assessed at a lower price. Additionally, even in the case of blended fabrics such as a cotton–polyester fabric, the expected price was high for diagonal patterns such as stripes and checks. These results will be helpful in the procurement of fabrics with which to make clothing and in the marketing of clothing for E-commerce.

Over forty years ago, the Supreme Court issued its landmark student speech decision, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, proclaiming that students do not \"shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.\" Tinker held that in order for public schools to regulate student speech, schools must demonstrate that the speech would \"substantially interfere\" with school discipline or with the rights of other students. Since this decision, the Court has carved out three narrow exceptions to the Tinker rule, granting schools the authority to regulate sexually explicit or lewd speech, school-sponsored speech, and speech promoting illegal drug use. Recently, in Palmer ex rel Palmer v. Waxahachie Independent School District, the Fifth Circuit upheld the constitutionality of the dress code of the Waxahachie Independent School District (WISD) under intermediate scrutiny. The court thereby affirmed, on different grounds, the district court's denial of a preliminary injunction to enjoin enforcement of WISD's dress code as to Palmer's political speech.

The court noted that school districts should be given great deference in determining why such a dress code would be necessary, but the district should provide some statistical or anecdotal explanation of the correlation between the restricted speech and the stated goals of the school. Because the District reviewed over forty other dress codes and their relative success before implementing this code, the court found this requirement adequately fulfilled.

Because the cemeteries were considered potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, in fall 2001 the Arkansas Archeological Survey, under terms of a contract with Burns & McDonnell, Inc., excavated the Becky Wright and Eddy Cemeteries to remove the interred human remains, associated coffin hardware, and personal items. Burial here may have been based on religious affiliation, but, as demonstrated below, it seems more likely that interment was reserved for marginalized members of society and those lacking strong local family ties. [...] the cemetery seems to have functioned essentially as a public burial ground.

The term hu ronko was also applied to shirts dyed a single color from yellow to dark brown, then painted with parallel black lines with a variety of designs stamped between them, and with solid black areas at the shirt's bottom, sleeve ends, and neck edge (Figs. 2-3). In Kabala and in Freetown I also saw a number of cloths with motifs that indicated that they came from the forest Guinea area discussed above, such as a palm tree and native hut design or palm tree and women pounding food (Fig. 39).

Abstract Objective: To evaluate children's and parents' perceptions of hospital doctors' attire. Design: Questionnaire study asking children and parents to assign positive and negative attributes to five photographs of a male or female doctor dressed formally and informally. Setting: Outpatient department, Children's Hospital, Birmingham. Subjects—203 consecutive child-parent pairs attending outpatient clinics over three months. Main outcome measures: Children's and parents' preferences, assessed by comparing proportions. Results: 70% (286/406) of children and parents rated doctors' dress as important; more children rated it “very important” (27% (54/203) v 14% (29/203), P<0.01, 95% confidence interval for difference 5% to 21%). Of the 99 children responding, 44 regarded the man in white coat as most competent (44% v 20% expected by chance, P<0.01, 34% to 54%) and most concerned (32% v 20%, P<0.01, 23% to 41%). Children also regarded the woman in white coat as most competent; however, male and female doctors in white coats rated lower for friendliness. Asians and regular surgical attenders preferred doctors in white coats. The man in polo shirt and trousers was rated as most friendly (40% v 20% expected by chance, P<0.01, 30% to 50%) and most gentle (37% v 20%, P<0.01, 27% to 46%). The woman in tee shirt and slacks also rated most friendly and gentle; however, both casually dressed doctors rated lower for competence. Parents preferred more casual dress but expressed preferences less strongly, and they poorly predicted which outfits their children preferred. Conclusions: Children regard formally dressed doctors as competent but not friendly; they regard casual dress as friendly but not competent.
