Authors:   University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), Beijing, China., Woji Mark
Published: September 2024

This study seeks to investigate the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth across a sample of African countries, utilizing a multi-model econometric approach, an exploratory literature review, and a descriptive empirical framework. This research distinguishes itself from prior studies in several key ways: (1) it is the first to analyze the relationship between economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa and a range of variables, including GDP, FDI, gross fixed capital formation, trade, labor, debt, government effectiveness, rule of law, control of corruption, political stability, absence of violence/terrorism, regulatory quality, and voice of accountability; (2) it incorporates the most recent data available; (3) it presents findings using stacked data; (4) it utilizes various proxies for factors influencing FDI; and (5) it employs a comprehensive econometric analysis with over a dozen unit root tests. The literature review was conducted using qualitative analysis, drawing from extensive databases. The study utilized secondary panel data spanning from 1996 to 2020 (24 years), sourced from the World Development Indicators. Quantitative analysis was performed using the Two-Stage Generalized Method of Moments (2SGMM) regression technique, alongside multiple tests. The findings indicate a positive impact of FDI on economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa. The results suggest that FDI not only contributes positively to economic development but also warrants promotion and encouragement. The study concludes by recommending that governments in developing countries create favorable conditions to attract FDI for their economic advancement.

One of the greatest objectives of space exploration today is to establish a permanent outpost on the Moon that would allow exploration of the lunar polar regions and the exploitation of local water resources. We envision this lunar outpost as a structure made up of inflatable elements, which would utilize solar energy to produce biomass, and thus, both oxygen and food for the astronauts. Due to the extremely low weight of the inflatable elements, we could build a very large infrastructure on the Moon with the help of only a few rocket launches. The low cost and the sustainable nature of such infrastructure can lay the foundation for a permanent human presence on the Moon.

Panopticon on Mars
Authors:   None, Kojima Nina
Published: September 2024

Our advancing technologies should soon enable us to leave Earth and start a new, extraterrestrial life, perhaps on Mars. Although it has been suggested that it is unethical to go and conquer planets we are not made for, this can be avoided by implementing new ethical norms. It can also be argued that we can prevent ethically questionable methods of striving towards our new way of living by technological means, and also by building a new type of society. The main ethical dilemmas that humanity will face on Mars are discussed and a new concept that answers many ethical questions, and which could potentially make human life on Mars less vulnerable, is presented. Panopticon is a disciplinary concept which enables the form of central observation. Not entirely ethical on Earth, it could serve as a good compromise for living in a small society in extraterrestrial and lethal conditions. It seems reasonable that humans can practice virtue ethics on Mars and that an up-dated Panopticon concept can preserve humanity. The Panopticon provides a social mechanism for the very first Martian spaceship, a safe haven that complies with all the ethical considerations avoiding violation of autonomy, bodily autonomy, liberty, and freedom of movement. Consequently, this new social model could help prevent tyranny and other forms of injustice on Mars. Panopticon technology should also enable people who cannot afford to pay for a flight to Mars to participate. Keywords: Panopticon, Freedom of Movement, Liberty, Autonomy,Tyranny, Virtue Ethics

Published: September 2024

Textile industry is a significant environmental polluter, generating vast amounts of waste during production, processing, dyeing, and distribution. Disposing of chemical and solid textile waste poses serious risks to soil, water, and air quality. In order to mitigate this inconvenience, solid textile waste can be reused through redesign or recycling methods. One such method involves repurposing textile waste as adsorbent or as a raw material for carbon adsorbent preparation. In this study, fibrous textile waste, waste cotton yarns and flax fibers were utilized as cost-effective resources for carbon material production. Carbon materials were derived from waste fibers and yarns through carbonization and subsequent activation using KOH as an activating agent. The adsorption characteristics of newly prepared materials were examined through the adsorption of various drugs from water. Factors such as contact time, initial concentration, and pH of the drug mixture in an aqueous solution were studied to understand their impact on the adsorption capacity of carbon adsorbents. The obtained results were analyzed using pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetics models, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. It has been shown that carbon materials obtained by the activation of cotton yarn and flax fibers can be used as highly efficient adsorbents for the rapid removal of drugs from water.

Authors: Geysoğlu Mustafa , Cengiz Çallioğlu
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to develop a nanofibrous wound dressing material through the emulsion electrospinning method utilizing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer and rosemary essential oil (REO). The study involved the preparation of PVA/REO emulsions at varying REO ratios (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 wt%). First, the emulsion properties, such as viscosity, conductivity, and surface tension, were determined. The incorporation of REO resulted in a discernible enhancement in viscosity, accompanied by a minor reduction in conductivity. There was no appreciable alteration in surface tension. The emulsion electrospinning approach was used to produce the nanofiber composite material from these emulsions. Subsequently, the surface morphology of these nanofiber composites was investigated via the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Although REO increased the diameters of the nanofibers produced, it was observed that the nanofibers were smooth, beadless, and exhibited uniform structural properties. Besides, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify chemical compounds in rosemary essential oil. According to GC-MS analysis, 25 components were identified in REO, and 1.8-cineole (eucalyptol) was identified as the major component (58.7%). The study found that the addition of REO had a significant effect on the emulsion properties and morphology of the nanofibers. The emulsion electrospinning approach was got through to be a promising method for producing composite nanofibers from two immiscible liquids, such as an essential oil and an aqueous polymer solution.
Soil degradation of denim fabrics produced by different finishing treatments
Authors: Sülar Vildan
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the effects of some washings and special treatment processes on the biodegradation of denim fabrics. Finishing treatments and special processes were applied systematically on a raw denim fabric to evaluate the effect of individual applications on biodegradation. According to the results, all the finishing processes applied to obtain a worn appearance influence denim fabrics' mechanical and biodegradation properties. Stone washing and its combination with bleaching were determined as the most aggressive applications for denim fabrics. Although a significant decrease was observed, three months of biodegradation is enough to obtain nearly fully damaged fabrics.

Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of ambient temperature on the rate of color change of thermochromic inks, which belong to the group of smart materials. Magenta reversible thermochromic ink was used, which was printed by manual screen-printing technique on different types of textile materials. The activation temperature of the used ink is 31°C. The experiment results indicate a relationship between the ambient temperature and the speed of color change, such that higher ambient temperatures cause slower color change and vice versa. Understanding the effect of ambient temperature on the color change of a thermochromic print is important for its more effective use.

Published: September 2024

Pectin(P)/chaste berry oil (CBO) nanoemulsions (NEs) and nanofibers (NFs) were generated and characterized in this study. First, processing conditions of CBO NEs were optimised employing ultrasonication process by using aqueous pectin solutions. An ultrasonication time of 5 min in the absence of a surfactant, i.e., Tween 80, delivered the smallest droplet sizes of 329±10 nm. Electrospinning solutions containing P/CBO NEs were prepared with the addition of polyethylene oxide (PEO), dimethyl oxide (DMSO), and Triton X-100. Electrospinning processing conditions were optimised to obtain stable and homogeneous fibrous membranes of P/CBO NEs. Neat pectin nanofibers exhibited a fiber diameter of ca. 400 nm. Addition of CBO increased the fiber diameters (ca. 500 nm) and pore sizes generally.

Published: September 2024

Waste management has become a critical issue for sustainable development in manufacturing industries and therefore in textile processing. In the light of this argument an approach for the valorization of a waste come out in yarn spinning processes is presented in this paper. The waste valorized in this context is the dust absorbed from the spinning mill by air conditioners during yarn production. The "air conditioning dust (ACD)" belongs to a cotton yarn spinning line was subjected to a dye extraction process by soxhlet and the solution obtained from the extraction period was used in the coloration of the wool. It was observed that ACD has potential for the coloration of the wool in brown shades. Since the waste was assumed as containing cellulosic structures along with some other dust, the process was called as natural dyeing and different mordants during the dyeings were tested. Additionally, the different dye bath pHs were investigated too. For the evaluation of the results, fastness values and the color analysis of the dyed samples were conducted. It was observed that the ACD has the potential for the coloration of the wool and so can be valorized by this way.

Authors: Benli Hüseyin
Published: September 2024

The issue of waste management is one of the most important issues both today and in the future. Therefore, lots of scholars are endeavoring to add to the economy substances such as paper, glass, and vegetable waste. In this study, the pistachio tree (Pistacia vera L.) branch was used for the first time as a bio waste material as a natural dye source for coloring textile material. For this purpose, waste pistachio branches were collected from Gaziantep province in the south of Türkiye. And then, the dried and grinded branches of pistachio were used for the dyeing of textiles. Dyeing was started at room temperature. The simultaneous-mordanting method was used. The method was performed at a materials-to-liquor ratio of 1:40 for one hour at 100°C. And then it was cooled, washed with soap (1 g/L non-ionic surfactant), and then dried at room temperature. Alum (KAl(SO4)2.12H2O) and iron sulfate (FeSO4.7H2O), which are environmentally friendly, were used as metal salts to increase the efficiency of the dyeing process. The CIE L*a*b* values and K/S values of the dyed fabrics were measured using a spectrophotometer. In addition, washing, perspiration, and rubbing fastness tests were applied to colored fabrics. The results show that fabrics can be colored with sufficient fastness using pistachio tree branches.

Published: September 2024

This paper describes the analysis of raw material composition and structural parameters on the mechanical properties of fabric for the production of airbags. It is about polyamide and polyester fabrics. The breaking force and breaking elongation measurements were performed on a dynamometer, while air permeability measurements were performed on an air permeability device. Five different measurements were taken for each sample and the mean values were determined. All sample analyzes were conducted in a standard atmosphere and the samples were left for 24 h before testing. The mechanical characteristics of fabrics depend on their structural parameters, as well as on the technological conditions of fabric production in the weaving process. Fabric tearing is mainly the result of individual fibers tearing. In fabrics, individual fibers or threads are interwoven, so the application of an external load leads to a rearrangement of the fabric structure, which to a greater or lesser extent results in the stretching of fibers and threads along the axis, which results in anisotropy of mechanical properties. It is noticeable that higher breaking force values were observed for polyamide fabric compared to polyester fabric. Higher breaking force values were observed for the polyamide fabric. Higher air permeability is noticeable with polyester fabric.

Published: September 2024

The global rise in population and growing demand for high-quality crops are the main challenges for agrotextiles improvement. The world needs more sustainable and eco-friendly nonwoven crop covers to replace the use of synthetic nonwoven crop covers to prevent pollution. The article considers the problem of processing textile waste from the post-consumer sector (PCW). The main directions of their use in producing nonwoven fabrics are briefly described. The use of post-consumer textile waste (PCW) based on used cotton T-shirts in the manufacture of nonwovens by wet laying process using the circular economy principle is considered. Samples of nonwovens were obtained and characterized through the mass per unit area, thickness, mass per unit volume, and linear density, and the attained results were compared with market-available ones. The thickness and linear density of obtained samples were slightly higher than the market-available samples, but the mass per unit volume was very similar to market-available ones. The coefficient of variation in the thickness of the obtained materials was about 10 %. The obtained materials can be used in the manufacture of crop covers in agriculture.

Published: September 2024

The mechanical deformation behaviour of textiles can be divided into textile drape and drapability. Both determine the overall appearance, aesthetics and fit of garments. In garment simulation, this behaviour must be simulated as realistically as possible in order to enable a meaningful evaluation of design and construction. It is important to understand the relationships between physical textile properties and textile fall. In this study, the real and simulated textile drop are examined and compared. The drop coefficient serves as a numerical measure. The real textile drape according to Cusick and the simulated textile drape are determined for three cotton fabrics with different weave constructions. A subjective image comparison evaluates the simulation quality. As a result of this study, a considerable deviation between simulated and real fabric behaviour can be observed, especially with regard to the anisotropy of textile material. Therefore, further research should focus on the development of simulation algorithms that take into account the anisotropic nature of textiles and ensure that the simulations accurately reflect the behaviour of the fabric in different directions. In addition to the need to ensure access to the simulation algorithms, the introduction of standardized data collection methods is essential for the further spread of simulation in the apparel industry. A coordinated effort to define these standards and best practices will facilitate collaboration and enable more accurate and reliable simulations across different organizations and platforms.

Published: September 2024

In this study, the color removal performance of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer was examined in real reactive dyeing bath wastewater (that is, waste water in which the dye is in hydrolyzed form and contains other auxiliary chemicals used in dyeing besides the dye). These experiments were carried out on three reactive dye bath wastewaters, one for trichromatic light color, one for trichromatic dark color, and one for turquoise color dyeing, supplied from a dyehouse. Studies conducted on real plant dyeing wastewater showed that the optimum conditions were 50-100 mg/L dendrimer and 15-30 minutes centrifugation. Color removal efficiency was between 75-90%. In the light of all these results, it can be said that dendrimer technology can be an alternative to other existing techniques in decolorizing reactive dye bath wastewater.
Theoretical analysis of compression of rib knitted fabric
Authors: Adžić Tijana , Stanković Snežana
Published: September 2024

Lateral compression of polymer fibrous materials is of great interest for various applications such as textile products, and fiber-reinforced composites. The ability of the fabric to deform under the force applied normally to its plane is determined by fiber properties, the compressibility and surface properties of the constituent yarn, and the fabric's structural characteristics. Many scientists have been working on modeling fibrous assembly's compression and recovery behavior. Van Wyk's compression theory was the first theoretical model explaining the compressional behavior of fiber mass. This theory is the simplest but most realistic model of compression. The process of plying or folding yarns balances the torque of the novel linear fibrous assembly and improves evenness, strength, and surface characteristics. Some properties of folded yarns have been extensively investigated but, there are no investigations of the effect of the ply twisting of yarns on the compression ability of rib knitted fabrics. This investigation continues the research attempting to provide insight into the potential of yarn folding in terms of compressional behavior. A mechanical model based on van Wyk's compression theory was applied to describe the multicyclic compression behavior of rib knits, both in the compression and relaxation phases. A high correlation between experimentally and theoretically obtained compression curves was established.

Authors: Das Subrata , Soundararajan Sharmila
Published: September 2024

A brief discussion of body armour is provided in the current work, with a focus on the use of shear thickening fluid and the technological issues that prevent its widespread adoption. This paper first discusses the many categories of body armour. Furthermore, several methods for improvising energy absorption for body armour have been offered, along with assessment requirements for bullet-resistant jackets. The review covers the components of sheer thickening fluid as well as how it is incorporated into the fabric. Shear thickening fluid (STF) application amplifies the impact. The Kevlar fabric performs better in terms of impact resistance when shear thickening fluid (STF) is applied. Furthermore, several new STF-based applications are presented to illustrate the challenges that still need to be addressed and provide some more deterministic directions for future research.

Authors: Korkmaz Memiş , Kaplan Sibel
Published: September 2024

Today, as personal thermal management gains importance for both increased comfort and energy saving advantages, body cooling through the clothing system by using natural energies has come to the fore. In this study, as the first step of a cooling garment design project, radiative cooling films having porous structures with tailored optical structures to enhance UV-VIS-NIR reflectivity were produced from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), via non-solvent-induced phase separation method using two solvents and water. The porous structure of PVDF films was optimized by differing polymer (5 and 10wt. %), water concentrations (3-10%) and drying conditions. Besides SEM analyses to determine the pore characteristics, cooling performances were evaluated by a hotplate apparatus combined with a halogen lamb as a sun simulator. Indirect emissivity calculations were carried out from the IR camera images of the films heated at the same temperature with a fabric whose temperature was measured with sensors. According to SEM images, PVDF films having 10 wt.% polymer and 3% water concentrations had the most porous structure. The emissivity of the optimized PVDF film with a hierarchically porous structure was enhanced to 96.6% with a temperature decrease of 1.06°C under a solar irradiance of 600 W·m-2 indicating a good potential for a further cooling structure as a nanocomposite and coated fabric forms.

Published: September 2024

Leather making is a very long process and consists of many different chemical and mechanical operations. The most important operation of the whole leather making process is the tanning, which is performed mainly by vegetable or chrome tanning. With this work, we wanted to establish a connection between the way leather is tanned and its physical and mechanical properties. For this purpose, certain physical and mechanical properties of bovine, sheep and goat leather, which were obtained by chrome and vegetable tanning, were examined. Tests were performed on commercially available leathers. The selected leather samples were tested for thickness, mass per unit area, apparent density, braking force and breaking elongation, while other dimensions were calculated based on previously measured values. After the measurements, the results were compared according to the type of leather and the method of tanning. The obtained results showed better physical and mechanical properties of chrome-tanned leather compared to vegetable-tanned leather, with the highest breaking strength of chrome-tanned bovine leather (70.7 N/mm2). However, for a more precise analysis, when examining the physical and mechanical properties, it is necessary to have more precise data of the origin, tanning parameters and applied leather finishing. The chrome tanning process has advantages in terms of the shorter duration of the tanning process, but chrome tanning process has significant limitations in terms of environmental requirements, which is why the vegetable tanning process is becoming more relevant again.

Published: September 2024

Textile fibers are produced in a natural way, and more and more often we have the opportunity to see impossible textile structures that retain desirable properties, such as non-creasing, long-term coloring, temperature stability, resistance to insects and the like. For the expansion of the use of printed textiles, a well-organized system in which technology is connected with economy, ecology, resources, informatics and marketing will have a great merit. Many filament (material) input methodologies are similar, and the difference is in the materials used, as well as in the process of general application and combining and joining of materials, so that the product is used for a long time. Fashion trends are something that negatively affects products, but this is solved by recycling and refurbishing clothes or shoes. The key moment for the development of 3D printing in the textile industry will be widely available printing technology, broadband internet and broad social acceptance of innovative materials. This paper presents the technologies that use different filaments in the production of textile fibers, and then also final products that do not have to be only clothing, but also for the needs of construction, defense and agriculture. The reason that every industry is looking for the use of artificial material that has similar characteristics to natural ones, where some properties will be improved and competitive in the market.

Berdasarkan riset terhadap beberapa data, ditemukan bahwa jumlah sampah di Kota Yogyakarta cenderung meningkat seiring dengan naiknya populasi. Salah satu penyebab utama masalah sampah di Kota Yogyakarta adalah masyarakat tidak tahu cara membuang sampah di tempat yang sudah disediakan. Selain itu, masyarakat tidak tahu bagaimana mengelola dan memilah sampah melalui program bank sampah. Akibatnya, jumlah sampah yang dikelola sangat kecil dibandingkan dengan jumlah sampah yang dihasilkan dan sampah harus diolah dengan baik agar tidak berefek negatif pada lingkungan. Pemilahan sampah dapat membantu dalam pengumpulan dan daur ulang sampah yang masih dapat digunakan kembali.  Namun, pemilahan sampah masih sangat jarang dilaksanakan oleh masyarakat karena kekurangan pengetahuan mengenai jenis-jenis sampah. Tujuan dari kegiatan yang diadakan oleh tim PPK ORMAWA HUMANIKA Universitas AKPRIND Indonesia adalah untuk mengedukasi masyarakat Kelurahan Warungboto tentang jenis sampah dan cara memilahnya secepat mungkin. Kegiatan ini akan mempermudah pengumpulan dan daur ulang sampah yang masih dapat digunakan kembali. Metode yang digunakan dalam penyampaian materi adalah ceramah termasuk diskusi dan pengenalan, serta pemisahan sampah organik dan anorganik. Berdasarkan kuesioner juga diketahui bahwa program sosialisasi ini berdampak baik, dimana peserta yang belum mengerti mengenai pemilahan sampah, kini sudah mengenali jenis-jenis sampah dan cara pemilahannya.
Explicando a máquina territorial primitiva
Authors: Carrer Carlos Fernando
Published: September 2024

O intuito deste artigo é explicitar o modo de funcionamento daquilo que, em O anti-Édipo (1972), o filósofo Gilles Deleuze e o psicanalista Félix Guattari chamam de “máquina territorial primitiva”, privilegiando, para tanto, a recepção crítica dos autores em relação às ideias defendidas pelo antropólogo Claude Lévi-Strauss em As estruturas elementares do parentesco (1949). Veremos que os autores tentarão marcar sua distância em relação a Lévi-Strauss argumentando que 1) a máquina territorial primitiva opera mais em função da dívida do que da troca e 2) que este funcionamento pressupõe um caráter essencialmente móvel das posições reservadas a cada personagem do parentesco.

Kafka esquizoanalista da lei
Authors: Hoffmann Cardoso Zanon Caio
Published: September 2024

Em 1975, Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari publicam juntos o livro Kafka: por uma literatura menor. Nesse estudo de caso, os autores partem da tese de que a obra kafkiana é composta por máquinas de análise do campo social, assumindo as tarefas de desmontar os diversos componentes desses textos maquínicos e de investigar os efeitos práticos que eles são capazes de provocar. Nosso objetivo, neste artigo, é destrinchar a leitura de Deleuze e Guattari sobre o tema da lei na obra de Kafka. Por um lado, buscamos inserir o “caso Kafka” na crítica da ideia da lei como fundamento necessário da sociabilidade, que atravessa toda a obra deleuziana. Por outro, pretendemos demonstrar o caráter determinante desse caso para a criação de uma perspectiva alternativa sobre o direito, a justiça e o campo social.
Literatura e Política em Deleuze

Published: September 2024

Ao longo de sua obra – sozinho ou em parceria com Félix Guattari –, Deleuze recorre à literatura para levantar problemas e propor novos conceitos. A proposta deste artigo é explicitar o uso que o filósofo faz da arte literária por meio de uma análise de três casos: Proust, Kafka e Melville. O foco é a importância de cada um destes escritores para a recolocação de seus problemas políticos. Assim, em Proust e os signos, a conexão entre os conceitos de signo e estilo promove uma política da língua que coloca em questão a noção de Todo, fazendo emergir um novo olhar de conjunto, de unidade derivada. Em Kafka: por uma literatura menor, escrevendo com Guattari, a questão é a maneira pela qual Kafka explora o uso que a minoria judaica de Praga faz do alemão padrão para desmontá-lo e, com isso, arrastar as coordenadas do campo social na direção de um “devir-minoritário”. Em seu ensaio sobre Melville (Crítica e clínica), a fórmula “Eu preferiria não” dispara o desenvolvimento de uma tipologia de personagens em que Bartleby e Billy Bud, de um lado, e Ahab e Claggart, de outro, aparecem como antípodas que permitem tensionar o ideal democrático norte-americano e abri-lo para novas conexões (um devir-democrático).
