Introduction: Pityriasis Lichenoides et Varioliformis Acute (PLEVA) is a rare and benign inflammatory skin disease. This acute form is distinguished from the milder chronic condition, Pityriasis Lichenoides Chronica (PLC). The etiology of PLEVA itself remains unclear, although it has been associated with infection as a trigger.Case: Here, we present the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with abrupt, generalized, pruritic skin eruptions for two months.Case Discussion: The eruptions started as red scaly papules and vesicles and resolved as hyperpigmentations. She denied having any previous dermatological diseases, routine medications, or vaccinations. On examination, she showed generalized multiple hyperpigmented macules, scaly papules, and vesicles over the trunk, extremities, and face, with erosions and crusts in several areas. Eosinophilia and asymptomatic bacteria were found in her urinalysis. A skin biopsy showed diffuse lymphocytic infiltration in the dermal/epidermal junction and perivascular region, with parakeratosis and lymphocyte exocytosis. While the pathogenesis of PLEVA itself remains unclear, a triggering factor of inflammatory reaction, such as infection, may contribute to the development of the disease.Conclusion: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is associated with inflammatory responses, and thus, it can be one of many possibilities. More studies are needed to confirm this association with PLEVA. Due to the lack of a clear pathogenesis and the benign nature of the disease, this rare entity may present difficulties in diagnosis and therapy

Over the last years, the exponential progress of technology introduced a broader population of researchers and developers to the use of Virtual Reality (VR) devices in numerous contexts, e.g., gaming, simulations, and culture dissemination. Recently, cultural heritage has also been supported by motivational experiences and other improvements designed explicitly for specific users (visitors, researchers, and domain experts). In this context, we propose a protocol within a digital environment, using innovative, non-invasive, and non-destructive methods for the technological enhancement, education, and dissemination of ancient human remains. The presented case study is focused on sexual dimorphism in the human skull; several 3D models are digitally generated from female and male skull references exploiting an algorithmic approach with statistical analysis, e.g., Principal Component Analysis (PCA); then, the models are made available in a virtual environment with a Head Mounted Display (HMD) and can also be interacted with via a touchless approach (hands-free). Tests conducted with segmented populations provided promising results.

This paper provides fingerprint and GSM base door lock systems for SMS-based door lock control. ARDUINO microcontroller, GSM module, fingerprint module, keypad, display LCD, servo motor and buzzer are the components of this security system. The entire driver unit is under the control of an Arduino microcontroller. It serves as a means of communication. The GSM method for mobile alarm messages in case of failed password attempts. The password required for authentication is entered using a keypad module. If the password is entered incorrectly, an error message appears on the screen LCD. A message is sent to the registered user via the GSM module, and if there are people or security personnel nearby, the associated buzzer sounds to alert them.

The increasing use of high-value carbon fibre in composites is linked with increasing waste generation. A simple and feasible chopped/hot-press method was proposed for multiple recycled carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The effect of regeneration times on the tension and impact properties of carbon fibre-reinforced polypropylene thermoplastic composites was investigated experimentally. The results showed that the r1-CFRTP specimen decreased by 69.34% in tensile strength and 48.66 % in tensile modulus compared with v-CFRTP. However, its tensile properties were improved with the increase of regeneration times (before 3 times). The impact strength of r2-CFRTP and r3-CFRTP is 12.65%, 20.85% higher than v-CFRTP, while r1-CFRTP and r4-CFRTP are 8.02% and 7.06% lower than v-CFRTP. When the third regeneration makes relatively excellent mechanical properties for recycled carbon fibre/PP composite, the chopped/hot-press method is a meaningful attempt at recycling and reusing the thermoplastic composites.

Fabric quality governing and defect detection are playing a crucial role in the textile industry with the development of high customer demand in the fashion market. This work presents fabric defect detection using the sensitive plant segmentation algorithm (SPSA) which, is developed with the sensitive behaviour of the plant biologically named “Mimosa pudica”i. This method consists of two stages. The first stage enhances the contrast of the defective fabric image and the second stage segments the fabric defects with aid of SPSA. The proposed work SPSA is developed for defective pixels identification in both uniform and non-uniform patterns of fabrics. In this work, SPSA has been done by checking with devised condition, correlation and error probability. Every pixel will be checked with the developed algorithm, to get marked either defective or non-defective pixels. The proposed SPSA has been tested on the different types of fabric defect databases and shows a prodigious performance over existing methods like the Differential evolution based optimal Gabor filter model (DEOGF), Gabor filter bank (GFB), Adaptive sparse representation-based detection model (ASR) and Fourier and wavelet shrinkage (FWR).

The study objective is to analyse the effect of big-five entrepreneurs' personality traits on entrepreneurial marketing while considering the mediating role of self-efficacy. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire; a study of 199 usable questionnaires out of 290 was carried out among young entrepreneurs. Structural equation modelling was used to test the study hypothesis. The results show a significant relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial marketing. Openness, Extroversion, and Agreeableness personality traits are positively linked with entrepreneurial marketing. The findings also show a positive association between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial marketing. The current study contributes to the literature by analysing an entrepreneur’s personality characteristics in entrepreneurial marketing.

The present study aimed to investigate the permeability of dry-laid, mechanically bonded nonwoven fabrics for filters of five different samples. Various permeability properties were investigated in the experimental part, such as water vapour permeability, air permeability, thermal conductivity, porosity parameters, and surface openness, which affect the permeability properties. The results of the study and statistical confirmation showed that the nonwoven structure has a great influence on filtration performance. It was found that the sample with the largest mass and thickness had the optimal filtration properties, as it had the smallest open area and thus the lowest water vapour permeability, average air permeability, and highest thermal conductivity. Statistical analysis confirmed that water vapour permeability correlates strongly with fibre diameter and bubble point, air permeability correlates strongly with thickness and mass, and thermal conductivity correlates strongly with fibre diameter, thickness, and mass of the nonwovens studied.

The paper describes the results of implementing methods of developing time management habits among bachelor’s degree students. The research was carried out under the auspices of the Human Potential Management Laboratory of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, within the framework of the elective course ("Leadership - The Art of Management") of the undergraduate level of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the same university. The paper presents 2 practical methods of teaching time management and its results: 1. Assessment of students' time management habits through Haddon's test and results; 2. A method of developing time budget management habits by evaluating the actual day and week and determining the desired time budget for the week. Teaching students of time management skills are important, especially in countries where the school and university infrastructure does not provide an opportunity to be aware and totally introduce a healthy lifestyle among young people. Making students aware of the importance of a variety of activities in their time and showing them opportunities in this direction will teach them the skills necessary to balance life. Teaching time management helps the student to write down/plan his goals in time and take concrete steps towards success.

This paper interrogates the concept of threshold concepts (TCs) of acids-bases in the teaching and learning of general chemistry of first-year university students. Acids-bases chemistry has been identified by chemistry scholars worldwide as one of the threshold concepts (TCs) in chemistry that seems to be difficult and the culprit of most failures in chemistry. Acids-bases reactions are also central to learning of other chemical reactions within the discipline of chemistry and other science concepts in life sciences (biology) and physics. The paper is based on the challenges students experience in general chemistry, which tend to discourage students from studying chemistry or pursuing their studies in chemistry-oriented professions, such as medicine, engineering, agriculture, natural resources, and chemistry education; or responsible for students dropping out of the university education completely. To address this problem, we explored lecturers’ and students’ challenges that students experience in learning TCs of acids-bases chemistry and the students’ perspectives of chemistry. A qualitative research methodology was employed in the study. Data was collected through classroom observations and student focus-group conversations. A thematic approach was employed to analyse data. Five chemistry educators and their classes were purposely sampled. Vygotsky’s social cognitive development theory was used as a theoretical framework to understand the teaching-learning of acids-bases chemistry. Findings suggested that some students’ experiences transformed them into self-directed learners. Researchers can investigate other avenues to the portal in teaching-learning TCs.

Antibacterial textiles are widely used in terms of providing hygiene and comfort by protecting human health. Due to its importance in the health sector and increasing customer demands, the trend towards these textiles is increasing day by day. In this study, the antibacterial properties of cotton and cotton/polyester woven fabrics which had applied impregnation and coating processes were examined and compared. For this purpose, nano silver-containing chemicals were applied to the fabrics by impregnation method to give antibacterial properties. After this, the fabrics were coated with tungsten and barium sulphate which have different properties, and coating fabric with antibacterial and radiation shielding properties is obtained. To examine some properties of these antibacterial fabrics, tensile strength, washing fastness, friction fastness tests and SEM analysis were applied to the fabrics. The coating and impregnated fabrics were compared with the fabrics that had been coated only.

The research performed in recent years regarding synthetic filament yarns is improving the structures and properties of such yarns, and diversifying their usage areas. Most of the current studies being carried out in this field are in the form of bringing functionality to filament yarns. And one of these functional properties is the production of flame-retardant yarns from different types of polymers. In this study, polypropylene (PP) raw material was mixed with organophos- phonate based flame retardancy additive at rates in between 1% and 8% in the feed hopper of a laboratory-type melt spinning machine during PP filament yarn production and then knitted fabric structures were obtained from these yarns. Then the flame retardancy properties of these PP knitted fabrics were tried to be determined by vertical flammability tests and Limit Oxygen Index (LOI) tests. Test results indicated that after flame time and char length values had significantly decreased and values of LOI had increased in knitted fabrics by the increase in additive rate. In conclusion, it was observed that the increase in the rate of flame retardancy additive had significantly improved the non-flammability properties of the PP samples.

In this paper, an analysis of drape characteristics of textile waste derived from their 2D colour digital images was made. There have been proposed algorithms and procedures for obtaining 3D shapes of real drape. The description of the drape characteristics of fabrics was made by a total of 17 features. The advantages of the proposed methods and tools are that they don't need complicated calculation methods or a lot of time to measure and obtain a three-dimensional model. A predictive model was created from the obtained data for automated prediction of the drape coefficient of textile waste. The proposed methods and procedures can be applied in the analysis of fabric drape on video files obtained after exposure of the textile fabrics at different airflow rates.

In this study, a comparative assessment of the mechanical properties of chopped carbon fibre (CF) reinforced polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyamide 6 (PA6), and polyamide 12 (PA12) composites was performed. A variation in the composites was obtained by changing the fibre volume fraction of the composite elements under the same manufacturing method and conditions. After blending reinforcement and matrix materials using the extrusion method, the composite materials were manufactured in the shape of plates with thermoforming. The composites’ tensile and 3-point bending tests were carried out, and the surface morphology of the fractured surfaces was examined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). As the fibre content in all matrices increased, the efficiency of the fibre in the composites decreased. Finally, ANOVA analysis and mathematical model development by the least square optimization method were performed to analyse and fit experimental data. As a result of the ANOVA analysis, it was seen that the matrix type was more effective on the composite than the fibre type. The error of the modelling performed is less than 20% for the tensile and three-point bending tests.

Today, with the development of technology, radiation exposure is more common. Therefore, alternative methods have been developed because shielding, which is used as the most effective method for radiation protection, has risks in terms of health. With the awareness of consumers, the use of antibacterial textile products has increased in terms of hygiene and comfort. In this study, for this purpose nano-silver which has antibacterial properties was applied to woven fabrics with the impregnation method and the fabrics were coated with tungsten and barium sulfate, which have radiation shielding properties. The radiation shielding properties of fabrics against 137 Cs source emitting γ radiation were investigated. In this study, woven fabrics with radiation protection and antibacterial properties, which are very important for the health sector, were obtained and compared with each other.

The study focused on determining essential government policies and trade barriers affecting the textile industry's export performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study has analysed the effect of government export policies on the export performance of the textile industry. This study has also compared factors among three South Asian textile industries, including Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. The study identified nine essential government export policies and trade barriers based on Industrial Organization View (I/O View). A panel regression model was used to analyse the significance of each government policy and trade barrier affecting textile export performance. Results of the study showed that currency exchange rates, the cost to export, time to export, political stability of the country, quality of infrastructure in the country, freedom from corruption, business cost of terrorism and economic stability in the country have a significant effect on export performance of the industry. In contrast, taxes on doing business have an insignificant effect on export performance. The Seemingly Unrelated Estimation (SUEST) test compared the differences in export performance of Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi textile industries due to government policies. The results showed that a higher level of time to export, cost to export and business cost of terrorism lead to the low export performance of the textile industry. At the same time, a higher level of currency exchange rates, political stability of the country, quality of infrastructure, freedom from corruption and economic stability in-country lead to the high export performance of the textile industry. Further, taxes on doing business have an insignificant effect on export performance. This study is among the few contributing to the textile industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to uncertain circumstances, it becomes hard for the government to identify important factors which could help textile exporters to survive and grow during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study has identified important government policies and trade barriers affecting textile exports based on strong theoretical support and has also compared and elaborated on the importance of each factor across three South Asian countries. This study will help policymakers reconsider export- related factors to enhance their textile exports and revive their economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although mathematical skills are an important component for business students, many students struggle to understand and meet the demands in different subjects. There is a considerable heterogeneity among the different subjects and the need for good mathematical skills varies from subject to subject. To analyse this, we apply the Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) framework. The data are collected by asking students at a business school in Norway. The results are linked to the exam grades in the various subjects. The sample consists of approximately 150 students. As a research method, the standard linear regression model is used. The results show that there is a strong positive correlation between ATMI and success in the various subjects. This applies specifically to the dimension of self-confidence in mathematics. However, there is a considerable variation between the subjects, and in some non-quantitative subjects such as marketing, no correlation was found in this study between ATMI and exam grades. As control variables in the model, gender and Grade Point Average (GPA) from the upper secondary school were included. These variables had a rather small influence on the results for the subjects, but with significant statistical effects on some subjects. This article provides insight into a key factor that can help explain how students are performing in the various business subjects

This topic is directly related to conducting the educational process. Consequently, the current education system of teachers at this school level is briefly presented which underlines their insufficient pedagogical and teaching training. Then, the several efforts that have been made to resolve the issue of teachers’ incompetence are outlined and analyzed, as well as the ascertainments and proposals that emerged from the attempts to resolve the issue are presented and discussed. Finally, the observations of the research study are discussed, and the corresponding conclusions are presented.

The paper shows the elastic and antibacterial features of the textile structures (Layer I and III) which make up a three-layer composite material with well-defined features, aimed at the treatment of human burns. The textile structures obtained through weaving (5 variants) and interweaving (3 variants) were further treated with active substances: collagen, colloidal silver, CMC, clay, hyaluronic acid, polyurethane, etc. By using specialized software, fundamental statistical indicators were calculated for the modulus of elasticity and anisotropy variables: mean, dispersion and standard deviation, median and quartiles, skewness, and kurtosis for asymmetry and highlighting the cases in which interventions should be carried out. The histograms and box-plot graphs of the modulus of elasticity and anisotropy variables were obtained. For the functionalized textile structures, with different levels of anisotropy, the antibacterial activity was evaluated on Gram-positive microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 8739) and Candida albicans, variety ATCC 10231 by determining the logarithmic and percentage reduction of microorganism populations. The hemocompatibility was determined by evaluating the hemolytic index (ASTM F756-13). The results obtained led to the definition of the combinations of structures of the multilayer matrix.

The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for an out-of-class EFL programme to be established in a Japanese university in the context of the globalisation of higher educational institutions according to MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) policies. The methodology centres on a mixed methods approach with the analysis of two parts each with two steps. Part 1 was an external evaluation consisting of (1) interviews and (2) visits to five other comparable universities with established programmes. Part 2 was an internal evaluation consisting of (1) a survey of students’ perceptions of learning English and (2) the feedback from two facilitators who lead a trial out-of-class English programme over a one-year period. Results from the external evaluation indicate that without the support of the institution, faculty-led initiatives will result in small programmes with limited facilities while institution-led initiatives have the potential to create a larger impact within the institution. The internal evaluation revealed a number of hindrances to implementing an out-of-class programme including perceptions of the students’ foreign language learning and how they like to pass their time out of class. Points for the university to consider are recommended. While this investigation focuses on one university at a set time, others in similar situations may find the results of interest to themselves.

Small and medium-sized textile enterprises generally experience financial difficulties, with a high default risk because of the textile industry’s characteristics of low concentration, long industrial chains, and large seasonal fluctuations. Using a two-echelon supply chain model of the textile industry comprising a core retailer and capital-constrained supplier, this study investigates disclosed and undisclosed factoring while considering the default risk of both the supplier and retailer under two guarantee mechanisms: no guarantee and a third-party partial credit guarantee. Utilizing a Stackelberg game model, this study finds that both the default risk and financial institutions’ loan-to-value ratio for accounts receivable significantly affect optimal financing decisions and financing efficiency. First, excessively pursuing higher loan-to-value ratios lowers financing efficiency. In addition, a partial credit guarantee from a third party can effectively reduce the financing interest rate but cannot improve financing efficiency if the supplier assumes the guarantee fee. Thus, while introducing a guarantee mechanism to control financing risk, financial institutions should consider supply chain participants, rather than the supplier, to assume the guarantee fees. Furthermore, both the supplier and retailer should finance through disclosed factoring regardless of a guarantee. Our findings offer textile industry-specific financing insights regarding the options of guarantee and factoring financing type based on the accounts receivable.

This paper explores the challenges associated with public procurement processes in the Czech Republic, as well as globally. In particular, it focuses on small-scale construction projects in the education sector and the problems associated with them, including policy making, pricing, efficiency, and the length of the procurement process. The paper also examines the risks associated with public procurement in the construction industry and how these risks can be managed through risk management. Moreover, it analyses the specific problems in the education sector, including imbalanced contractual conditions and unfair arrangements, which often shift the responsibility for risk aftermath to contractors. To gain insight into these issues, a research questionnaire was conducted among construction companies participating in the public procurement process. Based on the questionnaire results and a comparison between public and private procurement processes in the Czech Republic and Germany, the paper identifies flaws in the system and proposes potential solutions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for small changes to be implemented to improve the system, even though corruption remains a major issue that needs to be addressed. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders on how to address the issues surrounding public procurement in the education sector in the Czech Republic and beyond.

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology in textile sector for the fabrication of functional textiles with different properties such as antibacterial, hydrophobicity, UV-protection, flame retardancy, anti-static and self-cleaning. In current COVID-19 crises, the development of antimicrobial textiles through the deposition of nanoparticles has emerged as a research subject of particular interest. Recently, the green-synthesis of nanoparticles from plant extracts has become an effective alternative to conventional physical and chemical synthesis methods due to being environmentally benign and nontoxic. In this review article, the significance of nanotechnology in antibacterial finishing of textiles, mechanism of antibacterial activity of nanoparticles, significance of green synthesis methods for nanoparticles have been discussed. The green-synthesis of different nanoparticles from the citrus plant extracts and their application on textiles for imparting antibacterial activity is reviewed in particular. The chemical composition of citrus plant extracts and their role as bioreductants in the synthesis of nanoparticles is also highlighted. Moreover, different qualitative and quantitative standard testing protocols employed for the antimicrobial characterization of plant extracts and textiles have been discussed. The major challenges and limitations associated with the plant-based biosynthesis of nanoparticles have also been highlighted.

A direct oxidative alkylarylation reaction of N-arylacrylamides with simple alkanes for the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles under metal-free conditions was demonstrated. By using PhI(OAc)2 [(diacetoxy)iodobenzene] as an oxidant, a series of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing different aryl or alkyl substituents were generated in moderate to excellent chemical yields via a radical-initiated alkylation/cyclization process. The reported method features good functional group tolerance and wide substrate range, and provides an effective method for the preparation of various alkyl substituted 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles.

This research paper aims to estimate the tear and tensile strength of woven fabrics while considering a number of construction factors. Construction variables include ends per cm (EPCm), picks per cm (PPCm), an overall configuration of yarn, and fabric’s areal density or grams per square meter (GSM). While the statistical relationship in deciding the fabric strength is very complicated considering all variables, the correlation-regression model is used to explain the influence of structural parameters on the tear and tensile strength of various fundamental fabrics’ designs. With different thread densities varying reed counts, and heald count using 100 percent cotton yarn having 36.9 tex, eight different designs of plain, twill, and sateen are prepared for the study. Four regression models, built to predict the tear and tensile strength of the sample woven fabrics, are vital components of this research. It is noticed that the setting of yarn affects the tensile strength of the fabrics, and the fabric pattern determines the tear strength of the fabrics. For higher tear strength, matt weave, and tensile strength, a twill structure is desired within this scope of the fabric structures.

Ramped pyrolysis radiocarbon dating was carried out on lime lumps from what was believed to be the oldest remains of Turku Cathedral, Finland, the first sacristy. Lumps extracted from bulk mortar from five sampling locations were analysed. For each sample, 5–6 fractions of CO2 from different temperature fractions were radiocarbon dated.One of the five samples exhibited significant contamination for its lowest temperature fractions. For the remaining samples, the age-temperature profiles were well-behaved, exhibiting a plateau of dates that were in statistical agreement and indicative of samples where only a single carbonate source (lime binder from the construction phase) is contributing to the radiocarbon dates. For each of the five samples, the combined radiocarbon age resulted in a calibrated age with a large probability distribution mode (typically > 85% probability) in the late 13th century AD. Combining the radiocarbon dates from all five samples (21 fractions in statistical agreement, χ2-test: df = 20, T = 7.1, 5% = 31.4) provided an age of 709 ± 11 yr BP and a calibrated age of 1276–1296 cal. AD (95.4%). This result finds excellent agreement with historical sources, previous mortar dating work, and a single radiocarbon date on organic material also embedded in some of the bulk mortar.The results demonstrate that ramped pyrolysis, applied to well-selected lime lumps, is (A) a useful diagnostic tool for establishing how reliable a sample is and (B) an accurate, precise, and repeatable technique for radiocarbon dating mortar. The results further confirm that Turku Cathedral's first sacristy was constructed from stone and mortar in the late 13th century AD.Additionally, using Turku Cathedral sacristy as a case study, two Bayesian models were presented to illustrate how, in general, mortar dating and Bayesian statistics might, in future, be applied to examine building construction dynamics for the case of (chronologically) ordered or unordered mortar derived radiocarbon dates.

Natural dye is one of the solutions to alleviate environmental damage caused by the textile industry. Existing synthetic dyes have been proven to adversely affect the environment and human. Hence, revisiting natural dyes becomes a correct decision to alleviate existing environmental problems. Eco-print is one of the natural dyeing methods done by using plants typically found in the surroundings. This method has become the subject of various developments, both in its mordanting and making processes. Its visual aesthetics should also receive attention to avoid stagnation. Further development and innovation are necessary. The purpose of this study was to develop the visual aesthetic aspect of the eco-print method. It particularly focused on developing the design and production technique in terms of concepts, materials, and working techniques. This work also adopted a screen printing technique to enrich the motifs and colors. The method utilized in this research was art-based research with the premise of adapting artistic creativity to social research using an artistic practice approach because both are holistic and dynamic. The result showed that eco-print and screen printing methods could be combined, as the latter significantly enhance the eco-print product’s visual aesthetics. However, the result of this combination exhibited poor color fastness, implying the need for further study.

8 páginas.- 7 figuras.- 2 tablas.- 44 referencias.- Supplementary material associated with this article can be found, in the online version, at doi; 10.1016/j.culher.2023.02.006, The study of the potential use of essential oils in the field of Cultural Heritage has increased in the last decade due to their demonstrated antimicrobial potential and absence of toxicity. This work aimed at assessing, for the first time, the volatile antifungal activity of two essential oils (EOs) (Origanum vulgare and Syzygium aromaticum) against fungi isolated from biodeteriorated archaeological mummified skin. The object of study was a mummified Mustela frenata from the Tiahuanaco culture of Bolivia. The fungi found on the archaeological animal's skin were preliminarily isolated and identified by DNA-based analysis. Subsequently, the volatile essential oil biocidal activity was evaluated on parchments inoculated with the isolated fungi (Aspergillus tabacinus, Aspegillus tennesseensis, and Trichoderma longibrachiatum). Vapour tests were conducted in Petri dishes and parchment specimens to assess the fungicidal effect of volatile components of EOs. The volatile EOs used in this study showed antifungal activity against the tested fungi. The oregano showed to be the most effective EO in the in vitro and parchment tests for the three fungal strains. The use of EOs, particularly oregano EO, represents a promising green strategy for the sustainable conservation of organic-based cultural assets.
