In this paper, a comparative analysis of historical and contemporary fashion designs was conducted using quantitative methods and indices. Elements such as silhouettes, color palettes, and structural characteristics were analyzed in order to identify models for reinterpretation of classic fashion costume. Clothing from four historical periods was studied: Empire, Romanticism, the Victorian era, and Art Nouveau. An image processing algorithm was proposed, through which data on the shapes and colors of historical and contemporary clothing were obtained from digital color images. The most informative of the shape and color indices of contemporary and historical clothing were selected using the RReliefF, FSRNCA, and SFCPP methods. The feature vectors were reduced using the latent variable and t-SNE methods. The obtained data were used to group the clothing according to historical periods. Using Euclidean distances, the relationship between clothing by contemporary designers and the elements of the historical costume used by them was determined. These results were used to create an educational and methodological framework for practical training of students in the field of fashion design. The results of this work can help contemporary designers in interpreting and integrating elements of historical fashion into their collections, adapting them to the needs and preferences of consumers.

Technological advancement alongside global epidemics stimulated the widescale implementation of e-learning. However, it is reported that e-learning is in the experimental phase and still requires fundamental improvements, particularly in disciplines that go beyond theoretical knowledge. The current study examines the nexus between e-learning readiness, psychological motivation, technological skills, and employability skills among hospitality management undergraduates. It also explores the moderating effects of student engagement on the linkages among these variables. To that end, this study adopted a quantitative approach and used a self-administered questionnaire survey to collect primary data. The sample included a total of 428 participants who were recruited from undergraduates of hospitality management programs in Egyptian universities using the convenience sampling technique. Data analysis included performing PLS-SEM using Smart PLS 3.0 software. The results confirm the positive effects of psychological motivation and technological skills on both e-learning readiness and the employability skills of hospitality management undergraduates. The study also underscores the mediated role of e-learning readiness in the linkages between study predictors and outcomes. Additionally, the findings highlight the moderating effect of student engagement in supporting e-learning readiness and eventually employability skills. This study adds to the hospitality management body of knowledge and provides valuable insights for education institutions and policymakers to optimize e-learning experiences. Full article

The present survey examines the intersection of methodological advancements and technological innovations in e-learning, emphasizing their transformative impact on modern education. It systematically explores instructional design frameworks, adaptive learning systems, immersive technologies, and data-driven analytics, highlighting their role in fostering personalized, scalable, and inclusive learning environments. Through the integration of pedagogical theories with advanced tools like artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), this study demonstrates how e-learning systems enhance engagement, retention, and accessibility. The survey addresses critical challenges such as the digital divide, data privacy, and resistance to adoption, offering evidence-based strategies to mitigate these issues. It underscores the importance of bridging equity gaps while maintaining scalability and sustainability, particularly in underserved regions. By synthesizing state-of-the-art research and practical applications, this work provides actionable insights into the future of e-learning, advocating for a balanced approach to innovation that aligns technological capabilities with the diverse needs of global learners. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on sustainable, inclusive, and effective digital education ecosystems. Full article
