Publication Open Access Fast Fashion’s Waste Crisis: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review of Global Evidence (2015–2025)(University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication, 2026-06-01) Dayapathirana, N; Siriwardhane, D; Galdolage, S; Ranasinghe, ABackground: The rising prominence of the fast fashion business model has generated significant concerns regarding textile industry waste and the availability of mitigation strategies. Analysing the consumption patterns driven by fast fashion is essential to determining their long-term environmental impacts. Objective: This study aims to synthesise existing research on fast fashion, textile waste, and sustainability to identify the principal areas of academic inquiry and research trends over the last decade. Methodology: The research analysed 124 articles indexed in Scopus between 2015 and 2025. Following the PRISMA protocol, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to determine publication trends, key authors, and dominant thematic clusters within the identified literature. Results: Three primary research domains were identified: 1) consumer behaviours, motivations, and psychological drivers; 2) environmental impacts of fast fashion; and 3) circular economy principles and sustainable consumption strategies, including industrial interventions. Unique Contribution: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the fast fashion and textile waste literature, filling an existing gap by establishing a wide-ranging research agenda that bridges the divide between consumer psychology and waste management. Conclusion: While sustainable fashion is an accelerating research field, a significant gap remains between theoretical research and the practical application of sustainable consumption and waste disposal models in the fast fashion sector. Key Recommendation: Future research should explore the interconnectedness of consumer purchasing habits, textile disposal behaviours, and the efficiency of existing waste management infrastructures to foster a truly circular economy.Publication Embargo PROBEXPERT: An Enhanced Q&A Platform for Reducing Time Spent on Learning and Finding Answers(IEEE, 2022-07-18) Thennakoon, K; Ekanayake, D; Marapana, T; Ranasinghe, A; Wijendra, D. R; Gamage, AThe World Wide Web contains a wide range of material from a variety of fields. However, when concerns towards the computer science domain, information users find on the internet may not be up-to-date due to the rapid pace of change and having to spend less time on the internet for researching and debugging tasks is an added luxury. Having an expertise level while providing answers through a platform is convenient for users, yet when a user signs into a platform, the user must start from the beginning, regardless of the level of competence in the field. Moreover, not having a proper way to evaluate the existing programming knowledge is another obstacle. To address mentioned complications, researchers of this paper have introduced a new e-learning platform- ‘ProbExpert’. The platform has been constructed with machine learning and deep learning approaches such as NLP, keyword extraction, semantic information analysis, cosine similarity, and information summarization. With aforesaid technologies, ProbExpert provides systems in automated answering, optimized answer generation, structured question-based quiz evaluation together with a fully automated portfolio generation with a novel user ranking algorithm based on the bell curve.
