Impact of bleaching actions of bleaching powder and hydrogen peroxide on biopolished denim garments

U radu je ispitan utjecaj pranja s izbjeljivanjem s dva različita sredstva za bijeljenje: praškom za bijeljenje i vodikovim peroksidom na prethodno biopoliranu pamučnu denim tkaninu bojadisanu s indigo bojilom. Odjevni proizvodi od pamučne denim tkanine obojadisani indigo bojilom su prani uz dodatak enzima radi otklanjanja dlakavosti površine, odnosno biopolirani. Nakon toga je jedan dio obrađivan s praškastim sredstvom za bijeljenje u koncentraciji od 2,5 g/L u vremenima od 3 i 5 min na 50 óC, a drugi dio s vodikovim peroksidom u koncentraciji 2,5 g/L u vremenima od 5 i 10 min. Nakon obrada na uzorcima su provedena ispitivanja vlačne čvrstoće, čvrstoće u šavu, površinske mase, postojanosti obojenja na vodu, na kiselinu, lužinu, pranje i habanje. Pranje odjevnih predmeta s izbjeljivanjem provedeno primjenom dvaju sredstva za bijeljenje imalo je velik utjecaj na njihova fizikalna svojstva i postojanosti obojenja u odnosu na neobrađene predmete.This study shows the impact of bio polishing and bleach wash of two different bleaching agent one is bleaching powder and another is hydrogen peroxide on 100 % cotton denim dyed with indigo dye. Garments were washed with enzyme to remove hairiness . biopolished. Then garments were subjected to a bleach concentration with bleaching powder of 2.5 g/L for 3 and 5 minutes at 50 oC temperature and other were bleached with hydrogen peroxide of 2.5 g/L for 5 and 10 minutes. The physical and colour fastness properties were analyzed in before and after washing. The properties that were analyzed include tensile strength, seam strength, fabric weight, and colour fastness to water, acid, alkali, washing and rubbing. Bleach washed garments by two different bleaching agent exhibit a great influence on the physical and colour fastness properties than the unwashed garments

Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide Concentration on 100% Cotton Knit Fabric Bleaching

This paper focuses on the effect of different concentration of hydrogen peroxide (an oxidizing bleaching agent) on 100% single jersey cotton knit fabric. Five different concentrations (25%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45%) of hydrogen peroxide solution (5% stock solution) were adopted for this experiment. For each individual concentration, bleaching was performed in three different quantities (6gm/L, 8gm/L and 10gm/L) at the same temperature (100˚C) and same time (60 minute) cycle. 5gm samples were taken where 1:10 material and liquor ratio was maintained in each operation. Spectrophotometer (data color 650) was used to test the reflectance of all bleached samples, and their bursting strengths were measured by an Auto burst instrument following ISO 13938-1 method. The effects of hydrogen peroxide concentration on various physical properties such as weight loss, absorbency, GSM, bursting strength, and whiteness was studied to minimize the cost of bleaching process by optimizing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. As majority of industries have concerned to alineate the production cost with maximum quality assurance which has been obtained through bleaching at 30% concentration

A 6-month-old boy presented with progressive jaundice, dark urine and generalized pruritus for one month

This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 6-month-old boy of non-consanguineous parents admitted to the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology with the complaints of progressive jaundice, dark urine and generalized pruritus for one month. The boy was well up to five months of age. Then he developed jaundice which was progressive in nature with intermittent pale colored stool along with dark urine. His mother also complaints for generalized pruritus which was severe in intensity (disturbing sleep and daily activities) without any diurnal variations. There was no history of sib death or family history of a similar type of illness

Effects of medium-chain triglycerides on gluconeogenesis and ureagenesis in weaned rats fed a high fat diet

We explored the effects of Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) on gluconeogenesis and ureagenesis in the liver of weaned male rats fed high fat, carbohydrate-free diets. The rats of three experimental groups and control were fed for 10 days. The diets were high fat, carbohydrate-free diets consisting either of a corn oil or MCT, and high protein carbohydrate-free diet and a control (high carbohydrate) diet. The hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity increased in the experimental groups. Despite the elevated G6Pase activity in these groups, hepatic activities of glutamic alanine transaminase (GAT), pyruvate carboxylase (PC) and arginase differed among the experimental groups. The HF-corn oil rats showed elevation of PC activity, but no elevation of GAT activity, and the lowest arginase activity among the three groups. The HF-MCT diet-fed rats showed higher GAT and arginase activities than the HF-corn oil group. In the HP diet-fed rats, GAT and arginase activities enhanced, PC did not

Assessment of the feasibility of a community-based mental health training programme for persons with disabilities by non-specialists from different stakeholders’ perspectives in Bangladesh

Abstract Introduction Bangladesh is a developing country where 11% of the population has at least one disability, but no community-level mental health service is available. There is limited evidence of the burden of mental health issues and health-seeking behaviour among this population. This study assessed the feasibility of a training intervention for persons with disabilities, where peer support providers provided community-based disability-inclusive mental health services. Methods Four stakeholder groups participated in this qualitative study: peer responders (trained persons with disabilities), trainers, representatives of organisations of persons with disabilities and disability-specific organisations, and officials of international and national non-governmental organisations. Two types of qualitative interviews were used to collect data, and thematic analysis techniques were utilised. Result Stakeholders perceived the peer responder training programme as acceptable for persons with disabilities to develop themselves as peer support providers, with potential benefits including increased mental health literacy, ensuring accessible mental health services, and improving the well-being of persons with disabilities. Potential challenges included receiving training and delivering services. Increased training duration, more fieldwork, supervision opportunities, and refresher training were recommended to mitigate training challenges. Financial support and formal community recognition were deemed necessary for training delivery. Conclusion The peer responder training programme was feasible to ensure accessible mental health services for persons with disabilities, build a workforce to screen for mental health conditions, and provide appropriate referrals. A multi-sectoral collaboration of government and non-governmental institutions is recommended to policy advocates to expand the peer responder training programme in the mainstream mental healthcare system
