Abstract:

Founded in 1971, The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) has long recognized that the key to a successful carpet industry is service to the many stakeholders and their varied needs. From the homeowner to the tufting operator, the impacts of carpet are distinct and beneficial. As the concept of sustainability has developed, the carpet industry has remained at the forefront of sustainable thought and action. Sustainable actions involve many different factors but can be easily delineated. The activities undertaken to create the carpet can be referred to as “preconsumer,” while activities relating to the sustainability of carpet in use can be referred to as “postconsumer.” The carpet industry and CRI have taken many steps to ensure the sustainability of carpet in both sectors.

Abstract:

MDI based, CFC free, moulded polyurethane foam floor pan carpet composites are in production world wide. They will play an increasingly important role as a versatile and economic solution to the reduction of interior vehicle noise. This paper reviews current processing experience with ICI all-MDI acoustic foam systems and describes some of the results of the acoustic development programme which has been underway for the past two years. Simple model representations for airborne and structure borne noises are presented and analysed. A laboratory test rig is described which is used for the evaluation of the airborne noise and vibration radiated noise Insertion Loss of non-bonded carpet composites. Data are presented showing how system and material design parameters affect acoustic performance. Analysis of data shows that performance is controlled primarily by system parameters, namely area mass of heavy layer and thickness of foam isolating core. It is shown that control of foam properties such as density, stiffness, and clamping can be used to optimise system performance for a vehicle having a particular noise and vibration signature.

Abstract:

Weaving is an example of art produced at the end of human need. The samples produced because they were needed first turned into art. It is not known exactly whether the art of weaving started as a carpet or as examples of plain weaving, rug weaving. Throughout history, carpet and rug weaving has developed in connection with each other. Rug weaving samples, which have an important place in Turkish culture, are accepted as source information about the period they were woven and the geography they were woven. Looking at kilim weaving examples, patterns are given with threads of different colors and different weaving techniques are used. Unlike carpet weaving, there is no pile height in weaving. The motifs used in the patterns are generally traditional motifs. Geometric motifs are used more frequently. In rug weaving, unlike carpet weaving, the threads are mostly twisted. Rug weaving samples found in the inventory records in the Niğde museum show that the rug weaving tradition is as old as carpet weaving in Niğde and its surroundings. The aim of this study is to share the information obtained as a written source on the general condition, pattern and color composition properties of the weaving samples in the exhibition hall and warehouse in the museum.

Abstract:

Past readings of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon (458 BC) have spawned numerous theories about the nature and significance of the cloth stage prop central to the ‘Carpet Scene’ (783-974). Kenneth Morrell has pointed out that ‘recent critics at best emphasize the ambiguous nature of the “fabric” ’, which the critics refer to variously as something carpet-like, as rugs or blankets, as garment-like tapestries or loosely-fitting garments, as draperies, and more generally as the household's treasure. But what fabric, if any, would have been versatile enough to function as a tapestry, a robe, and a blanket, and would have inspired outrage when used as a rug?More symbolically significant than the most luxurious carpet, the fabric strewn on the ground before Agamemnon strongly suggests a bridal cloth, an object replete with symbolism, which would have served as both a nuptial robe and a coverlet for the marriage bed. Scholars who discuss Athenian weddings in the context of the Oresteia have overlooked the nuptial nuances of the ‘carpet’.

Abstract:

Between October 1984 and January 1985, the largest outbreak of Kawasaki syndrome reported to date in the continental United States (62 cases) occurred in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, extending from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Fifty-two (84%) of these Kawasaki syndrome patients lived in the Denver metropolitan area. A case-control study revealed that 16 (62%) of 26 Kawasaki syndrome patients compared with 10 (20%) of 49 matched control subjects had a history of exposure to shampooed (19%) or spot-cleaned (81%) rugs or carpets within 30 days of the Kawasaki syndrome onset date (odds ratio = 5, P < .01). The time of exposure to shampooed or spot-cleaned rugs or carpets for 9 of 10 Kawasaki syndrome patients who had a single exposure and for all 6 Kawasaki syndrome patients who had multiple exposures were clustered within an interval 13 to 30 days before the onset of illness. Although the reason for this unusually large outbreak remains obscure, it is the third in which a statistically significant association between Kawasaki syndrome and rug or carpet cleaning has been found.

Abstract:

The art of carpet weaving is an area of culture which development traces back to a century-old tradition in the countries of the East. This industry has survived to present day and plays a significant role for the economies of Central Asia and Iran, making up a large share of their export supplies. The scientists from different countries study the history of carpet weaving goods in the context of their cultural and artistic peculiarities: ornaments, signs, symbols, etc. However, this industry is primary considered as a source of creating objects of decorative and applied art. Only a few researchers address the current economic problems of the industry, in particular, the issues of labour organization and working conditions. Technology and organization of handmade carpet making and working conditions of craftsmen in Afghanistan have not changed much for many centuries: one carpet is created within 2-4 months by backbreaking work of a group of 3-5 Afghan craftswomen. The industry faces significant competition from cheap artificial carpets from Pakistan. Experts note a drop in the export potential of carpet weaving in Afghanistan, and some even talk about the problem of fading of the ancient craft traditions in the country. These circumstances determined the relevance of the topic. The article describes the findings of the fieldwork-based research devoted to investigating the impact of a healthy working environment on the carpet weaving industry growth. The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting a healthy working environment and establish the correlation between them on the example of carpet weaving industry. The findings are the results of the survey conducted in all carpet weaving companies in the Akchakh district of Jawzjan province in northern Afghanistan. This rural region has an ancient tradition of carpet weaving.

Abstract:

The Indian carpet industry, one of the country's most important sources of foreign exchange, is also well-known worldwide for its rich art and tradition. However, there is concern about innovation, financial inclusion, and sustainability. The current study explores the MANCHAHA initiative, a step taken by the Jaipur Rugs carpet industry toward sustainability, as well as its relevance and significance for other hand-craft or carpet industries. It also examines how it affects the financial inclusion of rug weavers. The single-case study method has been used in conjunction with the descriptive research design to conduct the study. The idea of innovation utilizing conventional methods is somewhat obsolete and underappreciated, but the company's MANCHAHA project disproved this preconceived notion.

Abstract:

In different lubricated machines as engines and gearboxes, the generated wear particles analysis is considered as an effective tool for condition monitoring of these machines. Wear particle analysis as a nondestructive evaluation technique is an effective method to determine the lubricating oil conditions within different lubricated machines, thus monitoring wear modes and imminent failures in these machines. Machine condition monitoring is a cost-effective and reliable system to predict mechanical behavior and efficiency of power plant systems. Qualitative, quantitative and morphological data could be obtained from the wear particle analysis through the periodically taken samples of the lubricant. Different methods are used to detect and analyze wear debris in the lubricant oil, such as ferrograhy, spectrometry, filtergram, particle counters and recently Laser oil analyzer and time-dependent limits monitor factors. The objective of the present work is to apply wear particle analysis technique for condition monitoring of an industrial gearbox transmission over one year period. This transmission belongs to one of the largest carpet manufacturing plant in the world. The chosen gearbox for condition monitoring was a new gearbox installed to the rug textile machine. The gearbox components are elasto-hydrodynamically lubricated with mineral-based oil. The function of the gearbox is to drive the motion (forward and backward) of the knife to cut the fibbers of the carpet during the operation. Periodic oil samples were taken and analyzed through spectrometric technique while selective samples were chosen to be analyzed through ferrography technique. Spectrometric and ferrographic analysis were used where quantitative and qualitative changes in the concentration and size distribution of different particles were analyzed and compared to baseline and limit values. In addition to the sampling process, the gearbox performance was also monitored through measuring the oil temperature that was recorded just after the oil sample intake. The oil temperature is an indication for the gearbox loading which in its turn indicates any failure if it occurs. Results were analyzed, discussed and correlated to the gearbox performance. Also, recommendations were given for better performance based on the investigation and justification of the relevant results.

Abstract:

In Algeria and many other developing countries, many women do domestic work (weaving, cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking, caring, children the elderly, and persons with disabilities, etc.) in their homes. From domestic work, we refer to carpet weaving. This work is done in most Algerian cities. It is a job that women do at home. They do it while sitting for hours. Researchers show that domestic work require great effort. In addition, it is tiring and strenuous and may have negative effects on body. In this research, the focus will be on carpet weaving in the Southwestern Algeria (the Fatis carpet). Fatis carpet is named after the Fatis Palace (town), located in Tinrkuk area, in the province of Timimoun. (Algeria).This research, aims is to answer the following questions:1.What is the posture adopted while weaving the Fatis carpet?2.What are the body parts where may feel pain at work?3.Are there differences between the highly experienced (10 years and more) and the less experienced (05 years and less) knitters?Method: Researchers used the descriptive survey method, where they observe the Fatis woman as she makes the carpet, and after observing her for a sufficient period, she is presented with a set of questions (the PLIBEL questionnaire) to answer. The sample was (12) women with a mean age of 32.83 years, and an SD of 10.83 years. Tools: Data was collected through observation and PLIBEL Form (questionnaire).Results: This research aims to answer the following questions:1.What is the posture adopted while weaving the Fatis carpet? It has been found that women adopt the sitting crossed-legged working posture while knitting the carpet. The majority of women sit in the workstation for hours. They change it when they leave the work. 2.What are the body parts where may feel pain at work? It has been found that all parts of the body specified in the PLIBEL form (neck/shoulders and upper part of back; Elbows, forearms, and hands; feet; knees and hips; low back) are affected. However, the extent of the impact varied. The knees and hips were affected more than the rest of the other regions.3.Are there differences between the highly experienced (10 years and more) and the less experienced (05 years and less) knitters? It turns out that those with less experience suffer less than those with more experience.Discussion: The results will be discussed in light of the principles of cultural ergonomics. In various situations, it is necessary to resolve the contradiction that appears between the principles of ergonomics and what people are accustomed to and what they carry in terms of social trends by virtue of the societies and cultures to which they belong.Conclusion: This research shed light on the work of women in the textile industry. It was found that women adopt a work posture that needs discussion. It is a research that contributes to the development of social and cultural ergonomics

Abstract:

The Australian Government and industry groups have been discussing the projected “skills shortage” for a number of years. This concern for the future is mirrored in many countries including the USA and the UK where the risk is not having sufficient skilled people to realise the projects being proposed. Growing tertiary qualified practicing engineers takes time and commitment but without the excitement of the possibility of such a career being seeded in the youth of the world, school leavers won’t be attracted to engineering in sufficient numbers. In response, one successful model for exciting school children about engineering and science careers is the international F1inSchools Technology Challenge which was created in the UK in 2002 and implemented in Australia in 2003. It is now run in over 300 Australian Schools and 33 countries. In the Australian context, the program is managed and promoted by the Reengineering Australia Foundation. It is supported and fostered through a range of regional hubs, individual schools and some exceptional teachers. Presented in this paper are some perspectives drawn particularly from the Australian experience with the program over 10 years — which by any measure has been outstanding. The F1inSchools model has been designed specifically through its association with Formula One racing to attract the intrinsic interests of students. It is based on the fundamentals of action learning. Role models and industry involvement are utilised as motivation modifiers in students from Years 5 to 12. While immersing children in project based learning, the program explicitly encourages them to engage with practicing mentors taking them on a journey outside their normal classroom experience. In this program, students have the opportunity to use the design and analysis tools that are implemented in high technology industries. Their experience is one of reaching into industry and creative exploration rather than industry reaching down to them to play in a constrained and artificial school based environment. Anecdotally F1inSchools has been very successful in positively influencing career choices. With the aim of objectively assessing the impact of the program, doctoral research has been completed. Some key findings from this work are summarized and reported in this paper. The children involved truly become excited as they utilise a vehicle for integration of learning outcomes across a range of educational disciplines with a creative design focus. This enthusiasm flows to reflective thought and informed action in their career choice. As a result of F1inSchools, students are electing to follow engineering pathways and they will shape tomorrow’s world.

Abstract:

Abstract The most common challenge facing the oil industry in the Age of AI is talent scarcity. As digital transformation continues to redefine what it takes to work in the industry, staying relevant in the industry will require knowledge and understanding of the underlying technologies driving this transformation. It also requires a re-evaluation of how next generation petrotechnical professionals are nurtured, educated, and trained. The human talent that is needed in the Age of AI is different, and simply obtaining a science or engineering degree will no longer suffice to survive and thrive in the industry. While it is vitally important that students continue to take fundamental engineering and science courses and learn industry-specific skills, we must recognize when an existing curriculum or way of teaching and learning has either run its course or has evolved. This paper examines how artificial intelligence will impact the training and development of the industry's future workforce and what organizations must do to retain existing talents while at the same time developing new ones, so they are not rendered irrelevant by AI. It proposes novel ways by which practical digital transformation and energy transition technologies can be integrated into core oil and gas education and training curriculum. It also outlines various innovative ways that academic institutions can join forces with industry to educate and train technical professionals, who, right out of college are sufficiently grounded to analyze, evaluate, and communicate data findings to drive better business decisions. For students and young professionals, it lays out the roadmap to readiness, and how to thrive in a digitally transformed world, as well as several ways to robot-proof their career and stay ahead of the curve. The task of training industry leaders of the future is enormous, sensitive, and demanding. The ability of next generation petrotechnical professionals to succeed in the digital age, and compete in a data-centric world, depends on their ability to develop, adopt, and apply next generation skills. Having the right mix of skills is not only essential to their success, it is critical to the survival of the industry. In the Age of AI, classroom learning needs to be deemphasized and experiential learning needs to be emphasized. The workforce of the future will be dominated by people with analytics skills and capabilities. Preparing next generation professionals for the future of work calls for a re-evaluation, re-design and recasting of the synergy between academia and industry. Universities and industry will need to routinely intersect to create symbiosis and enhance our educational system. Success will depend on sustained partnership and collaboration, not merely shifting the problem to one another.

Abstract:

Over the past 20 years underinvestment has led to the UK’s nuclear skills base being run down to the point where it is now very fragile and the cracks are showing. As a result a number of key nuclear science and engineering disciplines are now showing signs of shortages developing which is being reflected in both industry and academia. Fortunately, the skills gap has been recognised and the trend of underinvestment is being reversed. Industry, Government and the Research Councils are starting to take steps to address the issue and new nuclear education and research initiatives are underway including the Dalton Nuclear Institute and the plans to create a National Nuclear Laboratory. The concern over a skills gap still exists but hopefully with the realisation of high profile projects such as new nuclear build, the establishment of a National Nuclear Laboratory and continued support from the UK’s Research Councils, involvement in the nuclear field will prove to be an attractive career option for a greater number of people which will put the UK back in the position of having a vibrant and sustainable world class nuclear skills base.

Abstract:

Abstract Floor mats and runners are commonly used to protect floor surfaces, prevent exposure to slippery floor surfaces, remove dirt, grit and moisture from footwear and provide ergonomic relief to workers. Floor mats are often installed to prevent slip, trip and fall incidents. However, it has been estimated that annually about 38,000 adults over the age of 65 years old are treated in U.S. emergency departments for slip, trip and fall injuries associated with carpets and rugs. [1] Furthermore, it is estimated that 85% of worker injuries resulting in workers’ compensation claims are attributed to slipping on slick floors. [2] Incidence of falls reportedly increases with each decade of life. [3] In 2012, an industry standard, “Standard Guide for Commercial Entrance Matting in Reducing Slips, Trips and Falls” was introduced to provide “Criteria for the selection, installation, inspection, care and maintenance of entrance mats and runners in commercial facilities to reduce slips, trips and falls. [4] This paper will focus on identifying the hazards associated with floor coverings, reviewing the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission 2002 to 2022 injury data for all age groups to better understand the trends, quantifying risks associated with floor coverings, and exploring safety controls available to mitigate these risks. Furthermore, the number of incidents related to slips, trips and falls due to floor mats and runners before and after the introduction of the industry standard will be studied.
