An investigation of work-related risk factors among sewing machine operators
No full textWorking extended periods of time in front of sewing machines may cause discomfort to the operators of sewing machines. Sewing machine operators sit for extended periods of time and use their hands to control, handle, or feel objects and tools in repetitive processes which makes them vulnerable to musculoskeletal symptoms. Therefore, this study aims to identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among sewing machine operators working in the apparel industry in Bangladesh while considering job characteristics, productivity, job satisfaction, workstation design, and working environment. The results showed that working in front of the sewing machines for a long period of time might cause musculoskeletal problems for the sewing machine operators in Bangladesh which is consistent with previous studies. Further, the environment of the sewing machine rooms, job characteristics, and workstation design were not satisfactory in some cases and might impact participants’ health.</p

Effects of reductive stripping of reactive dyes on the quality of cotton fabric
No full textSome common problems of textile dyeing industries include uneven or faulty dyeing and formation of color patches on the fabric surface during dyeing and downstream processing of textiles materials. Such problems in the finished quality of fabric are generally tackled through a chemical stripping process which is a common practice in dyeing industries for the deep shade batches. However, reactive dyes cannot be stripped satisfactorily from cellulosic materials due to the formation of co-valent bonds between dye and fiber. This research was undertaken using 2.5% and 5% bi-hetero reactive dyes on pretreated cotton fabric and dye stripping was carried out in alkali reductive stripping process. The aim of the work was to investigate the effects of dye stripping on the quality of cotton fabric. Strength loss, weight loss, pilling resistance and absorbency of stripped fabric were calculated. Though with the increase of concentration of stripping chemicals and temperature, stripping percentages were improved; processing damage to the fabric such as losses in strength, weight and pilling resistance ratings was found. In contrast, increased fabric absorbency was found due to stripping. This is explained that during stripping, alkaline solution as an intracrystalline swelling agent is effective in loosening the crystalline region of cotton in addition to the amorphous region. Stripping agent can also attack such crystalline region. As a result, cotton fiber can release maximum number of hydroxyl groups which previously formed covalent bonds. This is the reason behind the stripped fabric having more water absorbency
Kedudukan Ahli Waris Pengganti Dalam Hukum Waris Islam
No full textAbstrakHukum Waris Islam disebut juga Hukum Faraidz, yang bersumber kepada al Quran dan hadist. Bagi setiap muslim tidak terkecuali apakah dia laki – laki atau perempuan yang tidak mengerti hukum waris Islam, maka wajib baginya untuk mempelajari hukum waris Islam. Dan sebaliknya, siapa yang telah memahami hukum waris Islam, berkewajiban pula untuk mengajarkannya kepada orang lain. Dalam mengerjakan pembagian harta warisan menurut hukum waris Islam, harus melalui tahapan – tahapan yang benar. Apabila tahapan – tahapannya telah benar, maka bagaimana pun rumitnya akan dapat segera diselesaikan. Penulis berpendapat, ketentuan tentang harta warisan yang terdapat di dalam Al Quran dan hadist adalah ketentuan hukum yang bersifat memaksa, dan karenanya wajib bagi setiap pribadi muslim untuk melaksanakannya. Topik yang penulis angkat adalah tentang kedudukan pewaris pengganti. Kasus yang terjadi seorang perempuan meninggal dunia sebelum harta peninggalan orang tuanya di bagi. Oleh karena itu anak perempuannya mengajukan gugatan ke Pengadilan Agama untuk menuntut hak ibunya. Menurut Kompilasi Hukum Islam Pasal 178 ayat 2, pasal 181,182 dan pasal 185 KHI mengatakan ahli waris pengganti dibatasi pada ahli waris berdasarkan hubungan darah dalam keturunan garis lurus kebawah hingga derajat cucu, dan ahli waris laki – laki dapat diduduki baik oleh anak laki – laki maupun perempuan. Maka majelis Hakim menetapkan bagian ahli waris M.Nur Syafii dan Umi Kalsum sebagai berikut : 1. Nur Syahril (anak laki –laki) mendapat 2/7 bagian; 2. Nur Syahrul (anak laki –laki) mendapat 2/7 bagian; 3. Nur Syahruddin (anak laki – laki) mendapat 2/7 bagian. 4.Tengku Deka Sari (cucu dari anak perempuan/ahli waris pengganti) mendapat 1/7 bagian.Kata Kunci : Hukum Waris Islam, Ahli Waris Pengganti AbstractIslamic Inheritance Law is also called Faraidz Law, which is sourced from the Koran and Hadith. For every Muslim, whether he is a man or a woman who does not understand Islamic inheritance law, it is obligatory for him to study Islamic inheritance law. And conversely, who has understood Islamic inheritance law, is also obliged to teach it to others. In doing the division of inheritance according to Islamic inheritance law, must go through the right stages. If the stages have been correct, then no matter how complicated it will be resolved immediately. The author is of the opinion that the provisions regarding inheritance contained in the Qur'an and hadith are legal provisions that are coercive, and therefore obligatory for every Muslim individual to implement them. The topic that the author raises is about the position of the successor heir. The case that a woman died before the inheritance of her parents was divided. Therefore, her daughter filed a lawsuit to the Religious Court to claim her mother's rights. According to the Compilation of Islamic Law Article 178 paragraph 2, Article 181.182 and Article 185 of the KHI, it is stated that substitute heirs are limited to heirs based on blood relations in straight line descent to the degree of grandchildren, and male heirs can be occupied by both sons and daughters. woman. So the panel of judges determined the share of the heirs of M. Nur Syafii and Umi Kalsum as follows: 1. Nur Syahril (boy) gets 2/7 shares; 2. Nur Syahrul (boy) gets 2/7 shares; 3. Nur Syahruddin (boy) gets 2/7 shares. 4. Tengku Deka Sari (grandson of daughter/substitute heir) gets 1/7 share.Keywords: Islamic Inheritance Law, Substitute Hei
Textile industry in Bangladesh and challenges of growth
No full textThe importance of the textile industry in the economy of Bangladesh is very high. The garments manufacturing sector earned $19 billion in the year to June 2012, one of the impoverished nation's biggest industries. Currently this industry is facing great challenges in its growth rate. The major reasons for these challenges can be the global recession, unfavorable trade policies, internal security concerns, the high cost of production due to increase in the energy costs, different safety issues specially fire, etc. Depreciation of Bangladeshi Taka that significantly raised the cost of imported inputs, rise in inflation rate, and high cost of financing has also effected seriously the growth in the textile industry. As a result neither the buyers are able to visit frequently Bangladesh nor are the exporters able to travel abroad for effectively marketing their products. With an in-depth investigation it was found that the Bangladesh textile industry can be brought on top winning track if government and others individuals takes serious actions in removing or normalizing the above mentioned hurdles. Additionally, the government should provide subsidy to the textile industry, minimize the internal dispute among the exporters, withdraw the withholding and sales taxes etc. Purchasing new machinery or enhancing the quality of the existing machinery and introducing new technology can also be very useful in increasing the research and development (R and D) related activities that in the modern era are very important for increasing the industrial growth of a country
Investigating social and labor sustainability performance of fashion production facilities: a case study from developing country
No full textTo achieve the sustainable development goal (SDG), it is necessary to reduce inequalities in facilities social and labor activities and decent workplaces to ensure economic growth. While the number of the published research works on measuring the eco-indices of fashion products and facilities are plenty, no significant work has been presented on measuring the sustainability of social and labor performance. Therefore, this article investigates the social and labor sustainability performance of two fashion factories: a knit factory (Factory A) and a denim factory (Factory B). The Higg Index Facility Social and Labor Module (FSLM) by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) were applied to measure the scores. Three (3) sections in the Facility Module-Social and Labor were considered. Section 1 offers factory performance values out of 391 for (a) recruitment and hiring, (b) compensation, (c) working hours, (d) employee engagement and communication, (e) employee treatment and development, (f) health and pay, and (g) termination and retrenchment. Section 2 offers a performance values score 125 points in the Facility's Labor and Workplace Performance Management for the Value Chain. Section 3 indicates values out of 78 on (a) external participation and cooperation, (b) community effect, and (3) transparency and public disclosure. Based on qualitative short questionnaires, data were generated for each sub-section of FSLM. The result shows high-level to low-level performance scores for both factories covering a diverse aspect. Overall social performance score achieved for both factory cases was 384 (factory A) and 394 (factory B) out of a total of 594. Among these, section 1 provides scores of 264 (factory A) and 275 (factory B); section B provides value score 80 and 79, and section 3 give scores 40 and 40 in both facility cases, respectively. The study reveals technical, managerial, and contextual limitations on social and labor performance in both knit and denim factories. The findings have important theoretical and practical implications and could be extended to other fashion production facilities across the fashion supplier countries. Overall, findings will help fashion stakeholders, especially factory practitioners, brands, retailers, academics, and researchers, to reformulate their strategic approaches and current practices to improve social and labor performances. We suggest factory practitioners, including academics and researchers, focus on how to improve the factory working environment, social issues and other disparities in order to drive the fashion industry to be more sustainable across the multi-tier supply chain
Toxic compounds in honey
No full textThere is a wealth of information about the nutritional and medicinal properties of honey. However, honey may contain compounds that may lead to toxicity. A compound not naturally present in honey, named 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), may be formed during the heating or preservation processes of honey. HMF has gained much interest, as it is commonly detected in honey samples, especially samples that have been stored for a long time. HMF is a compound that may be mutagenic, carcinogenic and cytotoxic. It has also been reported that honey can be contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium. Honey produced from the nectar of Rhododendron ponticum contains alkaloids that can be poisonous to humans, while honey collected from Andromeda flowers contains grayanotoxins, which can cause paralysis of limbs in humans and eventually leads to death. In addition, Melicope ternata and Coriaria arborea from New Zealand produce toxic honey that can be fatal. There are reports that honey is not safe to be consumed when it is collected from Datura plants (from Mexico and Hungary), belladonna flowers and Hyoscamus niger plants (from Hungary), Serjania lethalis (from Brazil), Gelsemium sempervirens (from the American Southwest), Kalmia latifolia, Tripetalia paniculata and Ledum palustre. Although the symptoms of poisoning due to honey consumption may differ depending on the source of toxins, most common symptoms generally include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, convulsions, headache, palpitations or even death. It has been suggested that honey should not be considered a completely safe food. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
