Multifocal linear morphea - a rare presentation with rapid progression and deformities in a young adult: a case report

Morphea or localized scleroderma, is an uncommon skin disorder characterized by skin thickening and hardening. This case report describes a late 20s married woman working at a spinning mill, who presented with a unique and rare manifestation of morphea. Over two years, she developed a linear black color thickening of the skin on her right upper limb, left lower limb, and abdomen, accompanied by deformities and functional impairments. The patient reported a rapid progression of hyperpigmented lesions and weakness, prompting medical consultation. Cutaneous examination revealed distinctive hyperpigmented, atrophic plaques with xerotic changes and flexion deformities. A biopsy from the chest confirmed localized scleroderma. Basic investigations were within normal limits. The patient was managed with weekly pulse therapy involving corticosteroids, resulting in some relaxation of skin tightness. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and promptly treating rare multifocal morphea presentations to prevent severe deformities and enhance the patient's quality of life. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor treatment outcomes and disease progression.

Treatment of Textile Wastewater from Spinning Mill Using Electrocoagulation-Flocculation Process

Textile spinning mills generate wastewater containing high levels of pollutants such as suspended solids, dyes, oils, and organic compounds. This study investigates the electrocoagulation-flocculation (ECF) process as a sustainable treatment method. ECF combines electrocoagulation, where an electric current induces pollutant coagulation, and flocculation, which aggregates these pollutants for removal. Extensive lab experiments were conducted, analyzing setup, procedures, and results. The study found that ECF significantly reduced pollutants, achieving high removal efficiencies for suspended solids, COD, color, and oil/grease. Economic analysis confirmed ECF's cost- effectiveness over conventional methods. A case study demonstrated successful implementation, highlighting operational efficiency and environmental compliance. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and industrial applications.

Development of micro dust reinforced composite for building applications

Recycling and reuse of textile waste is a proficient solution in preventing waste going into landfill and causing pollution. This paper reports the use of microdust generated from fibers in textile spinning mills to fabricate composites using compression molding for prospective applications in the building sector. Ten composite samples of 6 mm and 10 mm were developed by changing the microdust-resin blend proportions ranging resin content of 30%–10%. The tensile, flexural and compression properties, fire retardancy, water absorption and the insulation properties of the composites were determined. The results showed that the 6 mm thick composite board with 70% microdust had the most desired mechanical properties with tensile strength of 6.41 MPa, compressive strength of 3.6 MPa, and flexural strength of 10.2 MPa. These properties are superior compared to commercially available false ceiling board made of gypsum material of similar density and thickness. The thermal insulation value was 0.117 m2 K/W which is equivalent to the commercial sample (0.102 m2 K/W) used in similar applications in the building industry. The sample with 80% microdust (10 mm thick) achieved the highest thermal resistance (0.1879 m2 K/W) which is about 50 % higher than a commercial sample of the same thickness. This study shows that the composite panels overall are comparable to the commercially available panel used in the building industry and provides cost effective and sustainable alternatives for thermal barrier panels while overcoming the issue of landing filling of microdust from the spinning mills.

Opportunities to reduce environmental burden by recycling fabric waste in a woollen fabric company

PurposeWool fiber is accepted as one of the natural and renewable sources and has been used in the apparel and textile industry since ancient times. However, wool fiber has the highest global warming potential value among conventional fibres due to its high land use and high methane gas generation. This study aimed to recycle the wool fabric wastes and also to create a mini eco-collection by using the produced yarns.Design/methodology/approachThis manuscript aimed to evaluate the fabric wastes of a woolen fabric producer company. Fabric wastes were opened with two different opening systems and fiber properties were determined. First, conventional ring yarns were produced in the company’s own spinning mill by mixing the opened fibres with the long fiber wastes of the company. In addition, opening wastes were mixed with different fibres (polyester, long wool waste, and Tencel fibres) between 25% and 70% in the short-staple yarn spinning mill and used in the production of conventional ring and OE-rotor yarns. Most of the yarns contained waste fibres at 50%. Recycled and virgin yarns were used as a weft and warp yarn and a total of 270 woven fabric samples were obtained and fabric properties were examined. Also, a fabric collection was created. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was made for one of the selected yarns.FindingsAt the end of the study, it was determined that it was possible to produce yarn and fabric samples from fiber blends containing high waste fiber ratios beyond 50%. All the woven fabric samples produced from conventional ring and OE-rotor yarns gave higher breaking, tearing and stitch slip strength values in the weft and warp direction than limit quality values of the company. In addition, abrasion resistance and WIRA steam stability properties of the fabric samples were also sufficient. Environmental analysis of the recycling of the wastes showed a possible decrease of about 9940034.3 kg CO2e per year in the global warming potential. In addition, fiber raw material expenses reduced yarn production cost about 50% in case of opened fabric waste usage. However, due to insufficient pilling resistance results, it was decided to evaluate the woven fabrics for the product groups such as shawls and blankets, where pilling resistance is less sought.Originality/valueThe original aspects of the article can be summarized under two headings. First, there are limited studies on the evaluation of wool wastes compared to cotton and polyester fibres and the number of samples examined was limited. However, this study was quite comprehensive in terms of opening type (rag and tearing), spinning systems (long and short spinning processes), fiber blends (waste 100% and blends with polyester, long wool waste and Tencel fibres) and yarn counts (coarser and finer). Recycled and virgin yarns were used as a weft and warp yarn and a total of 270 woven fabric samples were obtained using different colour combinations and weave types. All processes from fabric waste to product production were followed and evaluated. Life cycle assessment (LCA) and cost analysis was also done. The second unique aspect is that the problem of a real wool company was handled by taking the waste of the woolen company and a collection was created for the customer group of the company. Production was made under real production conditions. Therefore, this study will provide important findings to the research field about recycling, sustainability etc.

Sustainable development of three distinct starch based bio-composites reinforced with the cotton spinning waste collected from fiber preparation stage

Composites are new materials that combine two or more distinct components with diverse properties to create a new material with improved properties. The goal of this endeavor was to use fiber preparation wastes, or waste from cotton spinning mill blow room and carding, to produce bio composites based on starch. The matrix was prepared using the starches of potatoes, maize, and arrowroot, and any remaining reinforcing material was used. A hand layup technique was used to make the bio-composites. Tensile, bending, density, water absorbency, and SEM testing were among the studies used to illustrate the starch-based biodegradable materials. The maximum tensile strength of 0.49 MPa is displayed by sample AB. The resistive bending force of 3.71 MPa is greatest in Sample AB. The most uniform combination of reinforcing material (wastage cotton) and matrix is seen in PB's SEM picture. Among the samples, AB had the greatest density value, measuring 0.35 g/cm3. The sample PC had the highest absorption findings in both water and the 5 % HCl combination because carding waste had more fiber than blow room and fiber absorbs more water. The resultant bio-composites made of starch had the potential to replace Styrofoam.

Carding Behavior and Bearing Capacity of a Newly Developed Cylinder Card-Clothing Compatible with Cotton and Terylene Fibers by Nb Alloying of AISI 1090 Steel.

Changing the metallic card clothing on a carding machine is costly when the spinning mills want to card different fibers from cotton to terylene or vice versa. This article proposes a newly developed cylinder card clothing compatible with cotton and terylene fibers by Nb alloying of AISI 1090 steel so that the spinning mills can change the type of fiber without changing the card clothing. Based on an idea developed from classical carding balance theory to study the adaptability of the cylinder card clothing for cotton and terylene fibers, the wall shear stress was used as the basis for compatibility analysis of carding behavior and bearing capacity with cotton and terylene fibers and as the focus of this study. Nb alloying of AISI 1090 steel showed good wear resistance in carding areas after heat treatment with high hardness above 840 Hv0.2 and extremely fine grain grade of 13.5 class, which increased about 25% compared to conventional 80 WV. The testing results in the spinning mills, including one cotton and two terylene fibers, showed good performance with this newly developed card clothing. In conclusion, the card clothing made of Nb alloying of AISI 1090 steel can handle different fibers with acceptable carding performance.

EnZolv delignification of cotton spinning mill waste and optimization of process parameters using response surface methodology (RSM)

BackgroundEnZolv is a novel enzyme-based, eco-friendly biomass pretreatment process that has shown great potential in the field of textile engineering and biotechnology. It employs laccase from Hexagonia hirta MSF2 and 2% ethanol in the process of delignification. The process is designed to evaluate optimal conditions to remove lignin and other impurities from cotton spinning mill waste (CSMW), without compromising the quality and strength of the fibers. CSMW is a low-cost and readily available source of cellulose, making it an ideal candidate for delignification using EnZolv. By optimizing the pretreatment conditions and harnessing the potential of enzymatic delignification, this research aims to contribute to more sustainable and efficient ways of utilizing lignocellulosic biomass in various industries for the production of biochemical and bioproducts.ResultsThe present study emphasizes the EnZolv pretreatment in the delignification of cotton spinning mill wastes irrespective of the cellulose content. EnZolv process parameters such as, moisture content, enzyme load, incubation time, incubation temperature, and shaking speed were optimized. Under pre-optimized conditions, the percent lignin reduction was 61.34%, 61.64%, 41.85%, 35.34%, and 35.83% in blowroom droppings (BD), flat strips (FS), lickerin fly (LF), microdust (MD) and comber noils (CN), respectively. Using response surface methodology (RSM), the statistically optimized EnZolv pretreatment conditions showed lignin reduction of 59.16%, 62.88%, 48.26%, 34.64%, and 45.99% in BD, FS, LF, MD, and CN, respectively.ConclusionTraditional chemical-based pretreatment methods often involve harsh chemicals and high energy consumption, which can have detrimental effects on the environment. In contrast, EnZolv offers a greener approach by utilizing enzymes that are biodegradable and more environmentally friendly. The resulting fibers from EnZolv treatment exhibit improved properties that make them suitable for various applications. Some of the key properties include enhanced cellulose recovery, reduced lignin content, and improved biophysical and structural characteristics. These improvements can contribute to the fiber's performance and processability in different industries and future thrust for the production of cellulose-derived and lignin-derived bioproducts.Graphical

The health and economic burden of dust pollution in the textile industry of Faisalabad, Pakistan

BackgroundExposure to dust in textile mills adversely affects workers’ health. We collected epidemiological data on textile workers suffering from respiratory diseases and assessed work absence associated with illnesses in Faisalabad, Pakistan.MethodsWe recruited 206 workers using multistage sampling from 11 spinning mills in Faisalabad, Pakistan. The data were collected using 2-week health diaries and face-to-face interviews. The data pertains to socio-demographics, occupational exposures, the state of the workers’ health, and other attributes. A theoretical framework of the health production function was used to estimate the relationship between cotton dust exposure and respiratory illnesses. We also estimated functional limitations (e.g., work absence) associated with dust exposure. STATA 12 was used to calculate descriptive statistics, an ordered probit for byssinosis, a probit model for chronic cough, and three complementary log-log models for blood phlegm, bronchitis, and asthma to measure dose–response functions. A Tobit model was used to measure the sickness absence function.ResultsWe found that cotton dust exposure causes a significant health burden to workers, such as cough (35%), bronchitis (17%), and different grades of byssinosis symptoms (22%). The regression analysis showed that smoking cigarettes and working in dusty sections were the main determinants of respiratory diseases. Dusty work sections also cause illness-related work absences. However, the probability of work absence decreases with the increased use of face masks.ConclusionThe study’s findings imply the significance of promoting occupational safety and health culture through training and awareness among workers or implementing the use of safety gadgets. Promulgating appropriate dust standards in textile mills is also a need of the hour.

Kinderarbeit in Fabriken: Das Beispiel der Spinnerei Kunz in Windisch AG

At the beginning of industrialization in Switzerland in the first half of the 19th century, many 7 to 14 years old children had to work in factories. In this article, sources are used to report on the example of Heinrich Kunz’s mechanical spinning mill in Windisch, Aargau. Boys and girls were often employed for dirty jobs: cleaning halls, sorting waste, oiling the spinning machines, and this initially for up to twelve or more hours a day. In the process, they missed school lessons, which were required by law. The factory owner did not comply with the regulations and came into conflict with the education authorities.

Unravelling the Challenges in Cotton Processing Industries: A Comprehensive Constraint Analysis

The textile industry is one of India's oldest industries and has been there for a long time. Cotton has a major economic influence in India, where it is mostly used in the textile sector. One of the most often produced and exported items from India is cotton yarn. The goal of the current study is to examine and record the challenges faced by the cotton processing units along the value chain of the crop. The study was conducted in Adilabad and Nalgonda districts of Telangana state. The required data was gathered from a sample size of 10 ginning mills, 10 spinning mills, 10 weaving mills, one dyeing and printing mill and one garment manufacturing unit, using well-structured and pretested schedule by personal interview method. To analyze the collected data Garrett ranking methodology was employed. The research found that, higher cost of machinery, higher rate of interest, exorbitant prices of raw material, underutilization of installed capacity, higher working capital requirement, shortage of electricity, lack of technical human resource, competition from the big and organized sector and lack of marketing cooperatives were the major problem faced by the different processing units of cotton. Therefore, the study suggests that the government provide subsidies for the purchase of machinery, at least for small-scale businesses, impart training to the youth and establishment of marketing cooperative at every successive stage of the cotton processing in order to make the processing units more competitive in business.

Sound Absorption of Tufted Carpets Produced from Coarse Wool of Mountain Sheep

ABSTRACT Coarse wool from Polish mountain sheep, often treated as a useless by-product of sheep husbandry, was used to produce pile carpets with tufting technique. Raw wool was used in the small-scale spinning mill to spin prototype rug yarns, which were then used for the production of carpets. The carpets with cut and loop piles of two different heights and densities were manufactured. During examinations, the basic parameters of raw wool, yarns, and tufted fabrics were determined. Then, the soundproofing properties of carpets were analyzed. To characterize the acoustic properties of the carpets, the sound absorption coefficient and transmission loss were measured. The measurements were carried out in one-third octave bands in the frequency range of 80–5000 Hz using the impedance tube method. It was stated that the wool of Polish mountain sheep is coarse, highly differentiated both in thickness and length and contains a significant content of medullated fibers and kemp. Despite its poor characteristics, the wool can be used for the production of rag yarns suitable for the production of pile carpets with tufting technique. The carpets possess acceptable sound absorbing capacity comparable to other similar products obtained from other wool types, which is dependent on both pile types and their parameters. The carpets exhibit low transmission loss, which is influenced, to a lesser extent, by the change in the parameters of the pile layer.

Employee Referral is one of the external sources of recruitment and an internal recruitment method employed by organizations to identify potential candidates from their existing employees' social networks. An employee referral scheme encourages a company's existing employees to select and recruit the suitable candidates from their social networks. As a reward, the employer typically pays the referring employee a referral bonus. The purpose of this study is based on encouraging employees to help the recruitment team in recruiting by referring right candidates.

EVALUATION OF NOISE ON RING SPINNING MACHINES

The ring spinning system is a system that continuously spins yarn and winds bobbins. This yarn, after leaving the delivery rollers, takes the twist of the rotating spindle and traveler, and is wound onto the bobbin, which goes as overlapping on the spindle. The degree of weight in the spinning mills increases. On top of that, one of the reasons is working at its higher speeds to improve the production rates in the production process in a competitive environment of development. The evaluation and evaluation of speed balance almost as a whole is increasing, and in the evaluation of more energy in sound. assessment does not qualify as a problem of poor human health and condition in many countries. It is at a level to serve people. “Production rather than production consists of elements freed from the emergence of high-level indicators. Fuzzy logic can be developed by tool from tool pilots with predictive and general applicability to the planning of aircraft by human being difficult to craft. In this model, the appropriate gear wheel on the appropriate type gear wheels.

A New Method to Calculate Cotton Fiber Length Uniformity Using the HVI Fibrogram

Knowledge of cotton fiber length uniformity is important for the cotton industry. The accurate and reliable measurement of fiber length uniformity would allow cotton breeders to release new cotton varieties with improved fiber length variation. This knowledge would also help spinning mills to optimize their machine setup, which would improve yarn processing performance. Currently, the high volume instrument (HVI) is most commonly used to characterize the cotton fiber length variation. The HVI length measurement is based on the fibrogram principle. The HVI length measurement characterizes 2 points, 1.8% as the upper half mean length (UHML) and 7.8% span length as the mean length (ML) from the fibrogram, and reports UHML and uniformity index (UI). The ratio of ML to the UHML is used to calculate the UI and is expressed as a percentage. UI measurement does not represent the shorter fibers as the above two span lengths only represent the longest fibers within a sample. We propose to calculate the uniformity of the cotton fiber length using the complete fibrogram as an alternative. First, the area of the measured fibrogram curve is calculated. Second, the area of a theoretical mono-length fibrogram with a length equal to the maximum length of the fibers for the same sample is calculated. Finally, we calculate a new length uniformity as the ratio of the measured fibrogram area to the mono-length fibrogram area expressed as a percentage. Based on the results obtained using a set of 991 commercial samples, the new length uniformity shows promise. We also applied this new length uniformity to a set of 60 commercial-like samples and developed partial least square regression (PLSR) prediction models to predict yarn quality. The results obtained demonstrate that the new length uniformity predicts yarn quality better than the current UI.

Potentiality of sustainable corn starch-based biocomposites reinforced with cotton filter waste of spinning mill

The textile sector is among the leading industries globally in terms of releasing pollutants and producing waste. Despite being reusable, many wastes are squandered by disposing to landfills or incineration, creating a serious environmental threat. Because the cost of raw materials makes up a significant portion of the total product cost, manufacturers can obtain significant profits by exploiting waste generated during the manufacturing process. Herein, an attempt has been taken to utilize cotton filter waste (CFW) (collected from the humidification plant of the spinning mill) as reinforcement in manufacturing biocomposites with the corn starch (CS) matrix. Starch was considered to be the most suitable matrix as it is sustainable, abundant, natural, biodegradable, and, more importantly, capable of showing thermoplastic behavior under high temperatures. Sheets of corn starch composites reinforced with different wt% of cleaned cotton filter waste were fabricated using hand layup and compression molding techniques. The 50 wt% cotton waste was found to be optimum loading in terms of tensile strength, Young's modulus, bending strength, toughness, impact strength, and thermal Conductivity of the biocomposites. SEM micrographs revealed good interfacial adhesion (bonding) in matrix and filler interfaces, with the most substantial bonding for composites containing 50% fibers that concomitantly enhanced the mechanical properties of composites. The obtained biocomposites are deemed to be a sustainable alternative to non-degradable synthetic polymeric materials like Styrofoam for packaging and insulation applications.

Strands of Modernization: The Circulation of Technology and Business Practices in East Asia, 1850–1920 ed. by David B. Sicilia and David G. Wittner

Reviewed by: Strands of Modernization: The Circulation of Technology and Business Practices in East Asia, 1850–1920 ed. by David B. Sicilia and David G. Wittner Mila Davids (bio) Strands of Modernization: The Circulation of Technology and Business Practices in East Asia, 1850–1920 Edited by David B. Sicilia and David G. Wittner. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2021. Pp. 208. This collection of essays aims to highlight the circulation of technology and business practices within East Asia and the central role that Japan played in this process in the 1850–1920 period. Hybridization in the transfer of technology and business methods is a recurring theme in several chapters, with an important role for the agency of local actors. In doing so, the book contributes to the increasing number of studies [End Page 641] that consider the regions beyond the West not only as passive recipients of "advanced" Western technology but also pay attention to their active role as customizers, initiators, and also intraregional sharers. In the general introduction, the reader is introduced to the late nineteenth-century Japanese, Chinese, and Korean context by financial historians David Sicilia and David Wittner, who specialize in East Asian history. As they and many of their likely readers work largely outside the circle of historians of technology, they extensively explain the broad view of technology with which readers of this journal are quite familiar. Although modernization is central to the volume's title, the concept is not discussed extensively or problematized. An exception is the chapter by William Steele, in which he nuances the dominant narrative of Asian modernization as Westernization. The development of the rickshaw in Japan and its spread across Asia illustrate how local initiatives also contributed to modernization, underscoring the idea that modernity and modernization are neither uniform nor monolithic processes. The discussion about modernization in Asia as cited by Steele, however, does not resonate as such in the introduction. It is not connected with the active role of actors in Asia itself. The editors clearly use the concept to refer to the desire of governments to acquire Western technologies, practices, institutions, ideas, attitudes, etc. Wittner—who also published about the Tomioka Silk Filature and the Osaka Cotton Spinning Mill in T&C's April 2022 volume—illustrates how technology transfer in the Meiji period was largely determined by the wish to "modernize" and how the symbolic value of selected and imported technology was of greater importance than its contribution to technological and business functioning. For the Meiji government, the Tomioka silk mill was first and foremost a showcase of "modernity." The choices for the factory setup (brick and iron) and machines (imported from "advanced" France) underlined the "modernity" and "progress" of Japan. Sketching the role of Shibusawa Eiichi—a prominent businessman who for a short period was also involved in the Meiji government—who stressed the value of indigenous technological knowledge and expertise, Wittner shows that what is considered "truly modern" changes over time. Some other chapters, especially Kimura Masato's, highlight the role of Shibusawa as a driver of the transfer of Western technology and business practices to Japan and of the modification of those practices. The role of individuals in the transfer of ideas and business practices is also illustrated in Chen Yu's chapter about the Chinese entrepreneur and businessman Zhan Jian, who was inspired by what he saw as the successful Westernization of Japan and what he wanted to achieve in his own province, Jiangsu. A new aspect to the studies on international expositions is added by Jeffer Daykin—who illustrates how Japan deliberately chose to take over a setup for international exhibitions in which direct comparisons between artifacts were central, an approach that had been abandoned in the West at that time. [End Page 642] Unfortunately, only a few chapters provide a good overview of the promised intra-East Asian technology transfer from Japan. Apart from Steele's chapter on the rickshaw, Japan's role is also evident in the story of the spread of printing in China. Hon Tze-ki illustrates how the partnership with a major Japanese textbook publisher gave the Chinese company Commercial Press the opportunity to enter the market and...

The Role of Business Finance in Sustainable Development: Insights from Spinning Mills

Corporate finance and agricultural economics are critical to spinning mills for sustainable development and financial sustainability. This study aims to investigate the crucial role that corporate finance plays in fostering sustainable growth in the context of spinning mills. Spinning mill profitability is influenced by the cost, availability, and sustainability of agricultural goods such as cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. The study comes to the conclusion that although the textile industry and spinning mills in particular is vital to the expansion of the global economy, there are often significant social and environmental consequences associated with its operations. Spinning mill financial performance is influenced by the agriculture economics that drive the raw material market dynamics. Effective corporate finance strategies consider these elements in order to avoid risks and maximize opportunities for sustainable development. Business financing initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development ought to consider social concerns such as community involvement, worker rights, and rural development. Using a comprehensive approach, the proposed study would look into the connection between agricultural finance and sustainable growth in spinning mills. Furthermore, the study sheds new insight on how a thorough understanding of agricultural economics may help spinning mills assess the social impact of their operations and allocate resources more wisely.

Low-bagging (growth) stretch denim yarn production by spinning optimization of cotton-wrapped dual-core elastane and T400 multifilament

Cotton-wrapped elastane core yarns have been widely used in producing stretch denim fabrics due to their comfortable stretching and recovery, but they suffer from undesirable fabric growth under prolonged or repeated stress. To reduce that problem, an additional semi-elastic multifilament has been incorporated with the elastane core, called dual-core yarn. Herein, it was intended to produce well-engineered dual-core yarns possessing high elasticity with low bagging. Twenty types of cotton-wrapped elastane/T400 multifilament dual-core yarns with different combinations of elastane and T400 tension draft were produced on industrial scale in a spinning mill. Structural parameters, tensile properties and elastic recovery behavior under cyclic loading of the yarns were thoroughly studied. For an optimum combination of elastane/T400 draft, the dual-core yarn attained excellent tenacity and elongation with significantly low evenness, imperfections and hairiness values. More importantly, the results of the cyclic loading study explicitly revealed a remarkable reduction in plastic deformation and stress decay indicating low growth and high resilience of yarn after deformation. The dual-core yarn containing high strength, high elongation and low growth obtained here can have durable stretch jeans with high body movement comfort and long-lasting shape retention.
