  • An Investigation and Comparison of Strength Against the Compressive
    ISSN (Print) : 2319-8613 ISSN (Online) : 0975-4024 Behzad Nikandish et al. / International Journal of Engineering and Technology (IJET) An Investigation and Comparison of Strength against the Compressive loads (Static and Dynamic) in 4 Iranian, Chinese, Uzbek, and Turkmen Types of Silk Used in Iran’s Hand-woven Carpets Behzad Nikandish Master student of Carpet, Kashan University Gholamreza Saleh Alavi Corresponding author, Faculty member of Carpet Department, Kashan University Email: [email protected] Abstract: The silk yarns are mostly used in carpet’s piles. Among the important attributes of the yarns used in the carpet’s piles is the strength against the static and dynamic load. In the current study, three woven samples from each of the four types as Iranian, Chinese, Turkmen, and Uzbek silks were extracted and through the required tests, the above-mentioned attributes were investigated and compared for them. The results indicate that against the static loads, the Chinese silk has the highest strength, and the Uzbek and Iranian silks are next, with a narrow difference. The Turkmen is ranked last in terms of strength. Also, the Iranian silk did best in strength against the dynamic loads, and it had the highest strength, with the Turkmen, Chinese, and Uzbek silks being after it with a marginal difference. The current study is conducted by the use of documentary and laboratory methods. Keywords: Silk, hand-woven carpet, Strength against static load, Strength against the dynamic load. 1- Introduction: The silk yarns have been long used in the production of beautiful and precious fabrics. These yarns, due to their unique attributes, are being used in many other industries.

  • Coping with Protracted Displacement
    \ WORKING PAPER 2\ 2018 Coping with protracted displacement How Afghans secure their livelihood in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan Elke Grawert \ BICC Katja Mielke \ BICC \ WORKING PAPER 2 \ 2018 COPING WITH PROTRACTED DISPLACEMENT \ E. GRAWERT & K. MIELKE SUMMARY This Working Paper addresses the situation of Afghans before, during and after their displacements in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Its aim is: (1) to under- stand how internally displaced lower-class Afghans, refugees who have returned and Afghan refugees staying in Pakistan and Iran perceive their current living conditions and what activities they pursue towards securing their families’ livelihood; (2) to establish the influence of socio- economic class dispositions on the displaced persons’ abilities and agency and on the strategic forging of networks in translocal space as a way of securing their livelihood, and (3) to contribute towards elaborating an analytical livelihood approach that can explain agency in protracted displacement situations caused by violent conflict—thereby going beyond established assumptions of migration and conventional refugee studies. The authors elaborate on the significance of translocal networks for Afghans as a livelihood pillar and consider ‘established–outsider relations’ as enabling condition. The authors argue that both dimensions are constitutive for a liveli- hood approach that has analytical value in conflict contexts. The evidence- based identification of these two components for a comprehensive livelihood approach in displacement contexts should subsequently guide assistance to displaced people. Entry points are the support of translocal networks and col- lective approaches to securing livelihoods (e.g. targeting extended families) and the equal consideration of host and (re)integration communities in assis- tance programming.

Now a piece of his foreign pol- icy is also being re-evaluated in a soon-to-be published book that up- ends a widely held view that he was indifferent to the fate of Europe’s Jews, and asserts that new evidence shows that the president pushed for an ambitious secret rescue plan be- fore the war began. The book, an edited collection of of- ficial documents, diaries, internal memos and more, contends that Roosevelt hatched a scheme in 1938 to rally the world’s democracies and relocate millions of European Jews in undeveloped areas in Latin America and Africa. “It is a book that will change the consensus about the role of Presi- dent Roosevelt,” said Deborah Lip- stadt, a leading expert on the Holo- caust, who has read some sections. It “compels historians — both those who have vilified F.D.R. and those who have sanctified him — to rethink their conclusions.” The book, “Refugees and Rescue: The Diaries and Papers of James G.
