Physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, fast-paced lifestyle, as well as genetic predispositions lead to the appearance of diabetes mellitus, and with it many other complications, of which diabetic foot syndrome is very common. In order to avoid complications with the diabetic foot, one of the forms of prevention is wearing specially designed footwear that protects and reduces the pressure on the foot and thus the risk of ulcers. Insoles also play a big role in preventing complications. The paper will present a conceptual solution of a model of footwear for patients with diabetes mellitus and a prototype of an insole made of knitwear, which was previously printed with medical clay, honey and extracts of the plants Rosmarinus officinalis and Zingiber officinale. Samples of knitwear that were printed with a paste containing Rosmarinus officinalis extract showed exceptional antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Replaceable insoles for footwear are intended for the prevention of complications from Diabetes mellitus.

It is known that gloss has a significant impact on colour measurement. The UV varnish used for surface finishing, spot effects, as well as special effects, such as 3D effects and formation of Braille, has a pronounced gloss effect. In this work, a comparison of the spectrophotometer measurement geometry influence on the colour measurement of an unprinted PVC sample covered with UV varnish was done. UV varnish was applied successively in layers, and patches with different number of varnish layers, from 1 to 12, were formed. Two spectrophotometers with different measurement geometries were used for the measurement: Konica Minolta CM-2600d with d/8 measurement geometry, with spectral reflection included and excluded, and different measurement aperture 3 and 8 mm, and X-Rite eXact with 45/0 measurement geometry. By comparing the measurements, it was estab-lished that there is a significant difference in the measured values between different measuring device geometries on the given samples, and that the number of UV varnish layers has a significant influence on this differenc

Kullanim sirasinda farkli islemler baskili tekstil urunlerini etkiler ve bu islemlerden en yaygin olanlarindan biri yikama islemidir. Yikama islemi tekstil yapisinin ve tekstil liflerinin modifikasyonuna neden olur. Bu arastirmanin amaci, elyaf baskili pamuklu orme tekstil malzemelerinin baski kalitesi parametrelerine yikama isleminin, yikama islem sicakliginin ve baskili malzemenin ozelliklerinin etkilerini belirlemektir. Renk indeksi uzerinden spektrofotometrik analiz ve makro daginiklik analizi kullanilarak etkiler belirlenecektir. Arastirma sonuclari, yikama islemlerinin sayisinin arttirilmasinin ve ayni zamanda yikama sicakliginin arttirilmasinin, yikanmis ve yikanmamis numuneler arasindaki renk farkinin artmasina neden oldugunu gostermektedir. Ayni zamanda, substrat ozelliklerin renk farkliliklari uzerinde buyuk etkisi oldugunu da gosterir. Bunun yaninda, yikama islemi ayni zamanda baski kalitesinde gozle gorulur degisikliklere neden olur ki bu yine substrat ozelliklerine baglidir.
