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 article examines the rationale and mathematical methods for assessing the innovative activities of carpet manufacturers in order to determine the impact on the economic efficiency of the enterprise. Along with the legislative framework of digitalization of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the article highlights the current state of digitalization in the country. The article also provides financial and operational indicators of the country’s largest carpet manufacturing enterprise. In particular, the author examines the main indicators of the company from the opening of production to the present. The effectiveness of digitalization of carpet production plays an important role in the technological development of the regional spatial-industrial structure, so the production of carpets and carpet products using digital technology has a positive impact on the economy. The article also considers the advantages and disadvantages of the main types of economic and mathematical forecasting. The article offers a regression analysis of economic indicators, as well as conducting a mathematical model analysis between the indicators of the study. In the course of the study, the extrapolation of increasing series of the main indicators of the carpet manufacturing company, as well as the forecasting by trend analysis method were considered. The main indicators of the largest carpet manufacturer in the country were analyzed by extrapolation. As a result, the authors recommended an analysis of the relationship between the selected indicators. The article recommends conducting an analysis to assess the level of reliability of the proposed model after conducting a regression analysis. In this case, the reliability of the model is tested with the regression coefficient, and on the basis of the proposed method, the coefficient of determination is estimated within the 95% reliability level. On the basis of the offered method there is a possibility of forecasting of the main indicators of the carpet and carpet goods production enterprise.

Abstract:

Introduction: Carpet factory produces various types of dusts and workers occupationally get exposed to them continuously. It has adverse health effects and most notably to the pulmonary functions. Nepal is one of the carpet exporter developing countries and still does have many factories within Kathmandu valley. However, the health hazards especially the status of pulmonary function of carpet factory workers from Nepal has not been studied.Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was designed to recruit carpet factory workers and healthy controls to assess their pulmonary functions. A total of 118 subjects (59 males and 59 females) were recruited (60 carpet factory workers and 58 controls). Pulmonary function tests were carried out using Medical International Research Spirolab II portable spirometer.Results: The carpet factory workers had significantly less FEV1 (90.37 ±16.6 % vs. 103.89±9.79%, p<0.001), FVC (87.78 ± 15.48 % vs. 102.81 ± 8.41 %, p < 0.001) and PEFR (66.19 ± 20.29 % vs. 102.81 ± 11.09 %, p < 0.001) as compared to control group. Similarly the carpet factory workers had significantly higher FEV1/FVC ratio (89.96 ± 6.42 % vs. 87.12 ± 4.58 %, p = 0.007) as compared to control.Conclusions: Carpet industry dusts exposure adversely affects pulmonary functions among its workers. The findings significant increase in the FEV1/FVC ratio and decrease in FEV1, FVC, and PEFR suggest that the effects are both restrictive and obstructive patterns of lung disease.Keywords: carpet industry; lung function; occupational health; pollution; spirometry. | PubMed

Abstract:

In short, handicraft and specially carpet knitting craft is one of the national industries of Afghanistan. Unfortunately, years of war in Afghanistan caused huge damage in its production and popularity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the main reasons behind the reduction of carpet production in Afghanistan. This research was carried out based on qualitative study. A total of 120 questionnaires were prepared according to probable systematic sampling method and desitributed among carpet weavers in Aqcha district. The data analysis was carried out by using SPSS software. The result of this study showed that carpet production in Afghanistan can be affected by the lack of proper market for carpet sale, lack of support and encouragement from the government, increased machine-made carpet imports, peoples’ low economy and inappropriate raw materials in the industry that have reduced the production of carpet industry in Afghanistan. Whereas, the research hypotheses suggest that the first hypothesis states that alpha was less than 0.05 (0.035) so our main hypothesis was rejected and we conclude that the absence of a market does not lead to a decrease in carpet production, the second hypothesis states that lack of government support reduces its production because the area is larger than the alpha (0.642). The third hypothesis states that because the area is significantly larger than 0.05 or alpha (0.727), so it was accepted as the main hypothesis that importing of machine-made carpets reduced the production of hand-made carpets in Afghaninstan.

Abstract:

Throughout this study, we employed unsupervised machine learning clustering algorithms, namely K-Means [1] and hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) [2], to explore human locomotion and wayfinding using a VR Magic Carpet (VMC) [3], a table test version known as the Corsi Block Tapping task (CBT) [4]. This variation was carried out in the context of a virtual reality experimental setup. The participants were required to memorize a sequence of target positions projected on the rug and walk to each target figuring in the displayed sequence. the participant’s trajectory was collected and analyzed from a kinematic perspective. An earlier study [5] identified three different categories, but the classification remained ambiguous, implying that they include both kinds of individuals (normal and patients with cognitive spatial impairments). On this basis, we utilized K-Means and HAC to distinguish the navigation behavior of patients from normal individuals, emphasizing the most important discrepancies and then delving deeper to gain more insights.

Abstract:

This paper explores the behaviour of exports of ‘exotic’ carpets/rugs from Pakistan over the period from 1970-2003. These rugs are sold purely for decorative purposes mainly to the major Western economies. This sector of world trade has been neglected by economists as there is only one study of Iranian carpet trade [Karimi (2003)] which has so far only been presented as a short abstract. In this paper we review the historic background to the carpet making industry in Pakistan and look at its current conditions of production. We then go on to estimate an error correction model using conventional trade-related explanatory variables which include the volatility of exchange rates which has been increasingly a focus of such research. The results are broadly supportive of the existing aggregate and disaggregate literature for other countries. Given that the dominant rival supplier—Iran was subjected to constant and varying trade volume rationing activities by the USA, we then attempt to take this into account using measures of Iranian trade disadvantage. These results show that the problems faced by Iranian exporters have had a statistically significant positive impact on the Pakistan carpet export supply function.

Abstract:

The deformation on the carpet texture is generally caused by foot traffic, furniture loading and soiling. The resistance of the carpet to texture distortion depends on the pile yarn characteristic and morphology. In this study, the resilience and appearance retention of carpet samples produced with drawn textured polyester pile yarns which are widely used in the carpet industry, were investigated. In this context, 6 pile yarns were produced with 3 different filament finenesses (3.13, 2.08 and 1.56 dpf) and 2 different disc types (polyurethane and ceramic). The carpet specimens were applied to compression/recovery, dynamic loading, hexapod appearance retention and soiling tests. According to the results, the carpet sample with 2.08 dpf filament fineness and produced by polyurethane disc type showed less thickness loss and better compression recovery results. Hexapod test results showed that the carpet samples with the finest filament had the lowest appearance retention levels. For soiling performance, it was observed that carpet samples with coarser filaments had slightly less staining and disc type had a no significance effect.

Abstract:

Abstract: This study summarizes what is known about Egyptian carpet production in the latter part of the Mamluk sultanate. While the output appears to have expanded in response to official requirements, foreign involvement in the local industry, typically discounted, appears to have contributed significantly to its vitality. The involvement of foreign, mainly Venetian, merchants is widely acknowledged, though their impact on output and designs is less appreciated. Some scholars, instead, conclude that Mamluk carpet designs reflect Persian or Persianate influences, although there is little direct evidence to substantiate the claim. Based on quantitative analysis of the textiles, it would appear that the predominant influences can be located mainly, if not exclusively, in the world of the eastern Mediterranean.

Abstract:

Background. Program of development of industrial carpet weaving in sub-Soviet Ukraine is considered. In this connection, influence of folk arts crafts on the the Ukrainian carpet weaving of a mass sample are analyzed: stylistics, artistic quality, production economy. Methodological approaches to the subject of folk crafts in the Soviet system are highlighted and the expediency of their revision from the standpoint of the present day is emphasized. Objectives. The Ukrainian Soviet carpet weaving as economic branch was a component of art industry in the segment of folk arts crafts. This direction implied production of artistic products with use of creative manual labor on the basis of folk art tradition. According to this principle, the carpet-making of republics in the USSR was developed where appropriate traditions were preserved. Today, in Ukraine there are fundamentally different socio-economic conditions that dictate new requirements including for carpet weaving. At the same time, in the national art history there is a need to revision the current approaches to the study of carpet weaving in the system of folk art, handicraft - industrial production and author's artistic textiles. The purpose of the paper is to raise the problem of rethinking and formulating modern approaches to the analysis of Ukrainian carpet weaving according to different systems of its production practices. "Neo-folklore" practice of industrial carpet weaving in Ukraine in the Soviet period generally established the meaning about Ukrainian Soviet carpet as a new phenomenon of Ukrainian folk art. The stylistic range here was determined "ethnographically", so production was concentrated in historically formed cells in Lviv region, Ivano-Frankivsk region, Transcarpathia, Chernivtsi region, Kyiv region, Poltava region, Vinnytsia region, Chernihiv region, Kirovograd region. The basis of products, in accordance with the traditions of national weaving, was made by hand-made ornamental smooth-wool carpet of vegetative and geometric types. Conclusion. Industrial carpet weaving from "living tradition" varied by a number of features, caused primarily by considerations of the economy of production. The economy of industrial carpeting is due to the pace of scheduled production. Therefore, for mass production, drawings with simpler compositions and larger forms of ornamentation were chosen. This worsened the artistic quality of the carpets, and consequently the demand for them sharply decreased. Changing the methodology of Soviet folk arts crafts - an analysis of them as an object of factory production, corresponds to the real practice of its time and relevant to study in the XXI century.

Abstract:

The dust generated during weaving (carpet dust) tibbati, knotted and tuffted carpets in carpet industry was studied for its toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Carpet dust (0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/1£10 6 cells) caused in vitro cytotoxicity in rat alveolar macrophages (AM) in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic, inflammatory and oxidative responses were observed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of rats at 1, 4, 8 and 16 days after exposure. Rats were intratracheally exposed at 5 mg/rat individually to all three types of carpet dust. All types of carpet dusts produced increased AM, lymphocytes (PMN) population in BALF suggesting their inflammatory reactions. Cytotoxic nature of carpet dust was shown by the increased activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (AP) in BALF. Increased AM population and in vitro cytotoxicity due to carpet dusts have shown some correlation with the levels of LDH and AP activities in BALF. The gradual enhanced profile of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) along with depletion of reduced glutathione (GSH) in AM due to these carpet dusts are suggestive of their oxidant nature. The enzyme activities of both glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) in AM were marginally reduced in exposed rats. In conclusion, the data suggest the cytotoxic, inflammatory and oxidant nature of carpet dusts. It is extrapolated that health effects on carpet weavers would be associated with the concentration and nature of airborne dust generated during weaving of carpets

Abstract:

More than 250,000 metric tons (600 million pounds) of carpet are dumped in landfills every year. That creates a significant concern regarding environmental deterioration and economic liability. It is therefore imperative to develop sustainable post-consumer carpet-based products for high-value engineering applications such as composite tooling. To be considered as an acceptable composite tooling material, the composite needs to meet certain required properties such as a low coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent compressive properties, and high a hardness value after repeated exposure to curing cycles. The tooling composites must also exhibit the ability to endure several curing cycles, without deteriorating the mechanical properties. In the present investigation, post-consumer carpet has been recycled in the form of structural composites for tooling applications. The recycled carpet composites have been reinforced with 0.5 wt.% of graphene nanoplatelets to modify the material properties of the carpet composites. The results from compressive and hardness experiments demonstrate that the recycled carpet preserved its mechanical integrity even after several curing cycles. This indicates that recycled carpet composites have the potential to be a low-cost composite tooling alternative for the industry.

Abstract:

The topic of this research is considered one of the important historical subjects; its significance lies in the fact that carpet weaving is an industry that enjoys a special status compared to common industries, crafts, and known artistic specializations. The use of various artistic decorations and patterns on carpets has added charm and beauty to this industry, making it an active attraction for European tourists and foreign investors at the time. In our research, we have chosen to address the development of this industry and how it transformed from a craft practiced in homes and villages to an important urban industry, whose products formed the largest portion of the country’s exports. We shed light on the role of kings in establishing and developing carpet weaving workshops, especially those established in royal palaces and mosques. We also highlighted the contribution of the wealthy and courtiers in this field, and the extent of the connection that art of painting had with this industry, after weavers introduced silk flowers they wove using hand looms. In addition, we focused on the intellectual and cultural atmosphere that surrounded the artists during that era, their influence by Western culture, and its reflection on the carpet industry in particular, and on architecture and other arts in general. Thus, our research includes a brief study of the topic, with an analysis of some related details, relying on numerous Persian sources.

Abstract:

In a market economy, one of the key categories is competitiveness. The efficiency of the functioning of the enterprise characterized by the level of competitiveness of the manufactured product. The opening of the Kazakh market to foreign companies has led to a revival of competition. At the same time, a significant part of the products of Kazakh enterprises turned out to be uncompetitive not only in the world, but also in the domestic market. Kazakhstan’s industrial policy today adheres to a non–alternative course towards the development of non–primary sectors of the economy that do not depend on the conditions of world markets [1]. In this regard, there is a need to develop conceptual frameworks for increasing the competitiveness of products of enterprises in the extractive industries. On the example of the light carpet industry the authors of this article studied the global trends in the production of carpets and determined the place of domestic carpet products in the world market. An analysis of the current state of the carpet sub–sector in the domestic market of the Republic of Kazakhstan was carried out. The purpose of the article is to improve the assessing methods for the carpet products competitiveness by using economic and mathematical modeling. The proposed model provides an integrated approach and helps to reduce the cost of carpet products and accordingly, to increase its competitiveness by reducing the costs of its production and marketing. In the research the methods of economic and mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, economic analysis and synthesis, etc. were used. The relevance of the topic of the research is determined by the fact that the development of recommendations to improve the competitiveness of carpet products in the domestic market will contribute to the economic growth of the industry, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development of the country.

Abstract:

A handmade carpet is one of the most well-known handcrafts around the world. Iranian handmade carpets are known as luxury products in domestic and international markets due to their strength and product value. The main objective of this research is to apply a geographical information system (GIS)-based, spatially-explicit approach to assess the sustainability of handmade carpet production in the East Azerbaijan Province of Iran, which is internationally famous for the diversity and quality of its handmade carpets. To achieve this goal, we employed 23 criteria in four main clusters: population characteristics, education status, employment status, and business activities related to the carpet industry. In order to determine the significance of each criterion, an integrated approach of fuzzy and network analysis processes was applied. Accordingly, the GIS aggregation function was employed to map and identify the areas that are suitable and of high potential for handmade carpet production. The results indicate that there is a very high potential for handmade carpet production in some areas of Tabriz, Osku, Marageh, Heris, and Meyaneh counties. However, high sustainability also extends to some areas in Marand, Bonab, and Kalaybar counties. The obtained maps present the potential of each city and village for handmade carpet production. The research also aims to evaluate and suggest relevant policies and practices to overcome the identified challenges in order to promote, develop, and preserve the handmade carpet sector. The results of this research are of great importance for different stakeholders in the handmade production and for decision makers and authorities in the East Azerbaijan Province. The results can be used to determine the potential of each area for handmade carpet production and to highlight potential challenges. This research also presents a new approach for sustainability assessments in studies on handcrafts and, in particular, carpets.
