  • Indigenising the Interior of Some Selected Hotels in Enugu Metropolis Through the Production of Textile, Using Igbo Motifs
    International Journal of Art and Art History December 2020, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 24-39 ISSN: 2374-2321 (Print), 2374-233X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s).All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v8n2p3 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v8n2p3 Indigenising the Interior of Some Selected Hotels in Enugu Metropolis through the Production of Textile, using Igbo Motifs Adaeze Q. Silas-Ufelle1 and Pius A. Ntagu2 Abstract It was observed that interior of hotels in Enugu metropolis are predominantly adorned with foreign fabrics that do not reflect the culture of the host communities. The essence of actualizing and stabilizing the economy, especially the hospitality industry in Enugu metropolis implies employing all workable parameters that can restructure the cultural and economic growth of the people positively. Therefore, there is need to indigenize the interiors of hospitality industry in Enugu using Igbo traditional motifs. Selected hotels were used to mirror this attenuation by employing the Igbo unique traditional symbols and mural designs to acculturate their interior environments. Qualitative research was adopted and snowball sampling was used for the selection of hotels. As a studio area, the work employed the transfer of developed designs on fabrics with the aids of batik, tie-dye and screen printing method of fabric production. The final fabric works were produced to satisfy the various end uses relevant to hotel interiors and to provide materials for documentations as a means of projecting the esteemed culture of Enugu metropolis in particular and Ndigbo in general. The studio experimentation employed mixed media and construction techniques.

  • Textile Printing
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN 6399 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina, 27513 • Telephone (919) 678-2220 ISP 1004 TEXTILE PRINTING This report is sponsored by the Importer Support Program and written to address the technical needs of product sourcers. © 2003 Cotton Incorporated. All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik.

  • Evaluation of Independent Mesh Modeling for Textile Composites
    EVALUATION OF INDEPENDENT MESH MODELING FOR TEXTILE COMPOSITES A Thesis by JEFFREY SCOTT MCQUIEN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, John D. Whitcomb Committee Members, Mohammad Naraghi Terry Creasy Head of Department, Rodney Bowersox May 2017 Major Subject: Aerospace Engineering Copyright 2017 Jeffrey Scott McQuien ABSTRACT The Independent Mesh Method (IMM) was used to analyze stress distributions within a unit cell model for a symmetrically stacked plain weave textile composite. Results from these analyses were compared to those of conventional finite element analyses, which are well established. Preliminary comparisons showed extreme dis- agreement between the two methodologies. Further investigation into the source of these differences led to significant corrections to the IMM implementation. After these updates, much better agreement between the two methodologies was observed; however, noticeable differences were still present. The remaining differences were characterized using a simple two-inclusion model upon which the impacts of the penalty displacement method, which the IMM relies upon heavily, were more appar- ent. It was shown that the implementation of the penalty displacement method for maintaining approximate displacement continuity between two surfaces induces sig- nificant error in stress distributions close to the interface. While these effects are less noticeable in the plain weave model, they are still present and diminish the fidelity of stress information in important tow-matrix interface regions, prohibiting the reliable prediction of damage initiation and growth. ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my father, without whom, it would have never been.

  • A Short History of the Wearing of Clerical Collars in the Presbyterian Tradition
    A Short History of the Wearing of Clerical Collars in the Presbyterian Tradition Introduction There does not seem to have been any distinctive everyday dress for Christian pastors up until the 6th century or so. Clergy simply wore what was common, yet muted, modest, and tasteful, in keeping with their office. In time, however, the dress of pastors remained rather conservative, as it is want to do, while the dress of lay people changed more rapidly. The result was that the dress of Christian pastors became distinct from the laity and thus that clothing began to be invested (no pun intended) with meaning. Skipping ahead, due to the increasing acceptance of lay scholars in the new universities, the Fourth Lateran council (1215) mandated a distinctive dress for clergy so that they could be distinguished when about town. This attire became known as the vestis talaris or the cassock. Lay academics would wear an open front robe with a lirripium or hood. It is interesting to note that both modern day academic and clerical garb stems from the same Medieval origin. Councils of the Roman Catholic church after the time of the Reformation stipulated that the common everyday attire for priests should be the cassock. Up until the middle of the 20th century, this was the common street clothes attire for Roman Catholic priests. The origin of the clerical collar does not stem from the attire of Roman priests. It’s genesis is of protestant origin. The Origin of Reformed Clerical Dress In the time of the Reformation, many of the Reformed wanted to distance themselves from what was perceived as Roman clerical attire.

  • Exploring Livelihoods of the Urban Poor in Kampala, Uganda an Institutional, Community, and Household Contextual Analysis

The main objective of this study was to gain a generalgenerall understandingundndererststananddiingg of the livelihoods present amongst the population of the urban poor and the context in considered whichhicch theythheyy exist, so as to form a foundation for future programming. Three groups of urban poor in the city were identi ed through qualitative interviews: street children, squatters, and slum dwellers. Slum dwellers became the principal interest upon considering the context, aims and limits of the study. Qualitative interviews with key actors at community and household levels, questionnaires at a household level, and several other supplementary investigations formed the remainder of the study. Ultimately, six different livelihood strategies were identi ed and described: Non-poor Casual Labourers, Poor Casual Labourers, Non-quali ed Salary, Quali ed Salary, Vocation or Services, and Petty Traders and Street Vendors. Each of the livelihood strategies identi ed held vulnerabilities, though the severity of these varies between both the type of vulnerability and group. Vulnerabilities of the entire slum population of Kampala include land tenure issues, malnutrition monitoring, and enumeration information. Those at a community and area level include the risk of persistent ooding, unhygienic and unsanitary practices, and full realisation of bene ts of social networks. Finally, major household vulnerabilities included lack of urban agriculture, and lack of credit.
