This research examines the adoption of an innovative hijab design for urban Muslim women that is both fashionable and is easy to wear. Participants were 20 young urban hijabistas (M=27) with expertise in fashion design. The data were collected in May 2017, via social media (Facebook). This study used descriptive statistics to analyze six aspects of five hijab designs: style, structures, details, materials, fashionable, and wearables. The result shows that wearable or easy to wear is the best variables in this study. This concept of instant hijab is uniting the bonnet and scarf together, so simpler to wear it. The best design among five hijab that have been examined is design 3 and 4. This instant hijab is easy to wear because we have been patterning and sewing in some parts making it easier to wear. The concept of this instant hijab is uniting the bonnet and scarf together, so simpler to wear it. The bonnet is made from spandex because it has elasticity to follow the shape of the head. Instant hijab designs in this research is as enrichment in the selection of hijab for urban Muslim women.

“…Usually, artificial vascular scaffold are mainly made of polymer materials. And most of them are nondegradable with the diameter greater than six millimeters, while the scaffolds less than six millimeters are challenged by long-term patency after transplantation [ 3 , 4 ]. Accordingly, there has been a great deal of researches toward constructing a tissue-engineered vascular graft which composed by seed cells and degradable polymer scaffolds.…”

“…In specific, these vessels have shown poor long-term patency, which may be due to slow endothelialization. [21][22][23] The purpose of this report is to present our findings resulting from the fabrication of a series of PET plain weave woven fabrics. Our experiments involved use of fabrics with identically designed warp densities and varied weft densities and weft yarns, in an attempt to create surfaces with varying gradients of tightness or porosity.…”

Polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) fabrics with woven structures have proved to be quite effective for use on large diameter artificial blood vessels. However, their use within small-diameter artificial blood vessels has been associated with poor long-term patency, a problem resulting from slow endothelialization on PET and an over hyperplasia of smooth muscle cells. Previous research from our laboratory has revealed that ICAM-1 can be used as a marker to investigate cell adhesion, an effect which was closely associated with cell behavior on the surface of polycaprolactone (PCL) films. Moreover, we found that the coarseness or pore size of the surface exerts considerable influence on cell adhesion and proliferation on PCL films. In this study, we successfully fabricated six types of PET woven fabrics with varying gradients of tightness and porosities. Levels of ICAM-1 expression (membrane ICAM-1 & soluble ICAM-1) were then determined in these woven fabrics. Our results show that increased levels of mICAM-1 and decreased levels of sICAM-1 expression were obtained in HUVECs seeded on these six samples. These findings indicate that cell adhesion and proliferation on fabric surfaces were strongly influenced by their structural parameters, in particular the initial adhesion between the cell and fabric surface. In addition, we also found that extracellular matrix adhesion tends to prefer flat and tight surfaces, which promotes cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, as well as the endothelialization on the surface of PET fabrics. These findings provide some novel insights with regard to the design and application of small-diameter artificial blood vessels. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
