“…According to World Health Organization (2014), "in the last 10 years, over 70% of reported cases occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)" [12]. The DRC is the only country that has reported more than 1000 new cases annually and accounts for 83% of the cases reported in 2012 [12]. According to the National Program for the Fight against HAT (DRC), nine of the eleven provinces of the DRC are affected by the HAT.…”

Aims: Our study is aimed at determining the risk factors of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Mbuji Mayi, Eastern Kasai Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Study Design: We used a case-control design with a ratio of 2 controls for every HAT case. Place and Duration of Study: Our multidisciplinary research team collected primary data on cases of HAT patients treated at the Referral and Treatment Center of Dipumba in Mbuji Mayi in 2012 and on their controls of similar gender and age, living in Mbuji Mayi, but free of HAT infection. Methodology: We analyzed data, using both descriptive and analytical statistical procedures such univariate and multivariate methods of logistic regression. The association between the different factors studied and HAT infection has been determined by estimating the odds-ratio (OR) with a confidence interval (CI) of 95% and a P-value of less than 0.05. We interviewed 180 subjects (60 cases and 120 controls). Results: The 60 cases were predominantly male (male-female ratio of 2.2:1) with the majority (53%) in the age group of 20-40 years. Subjects in the age group of over 40 represented 28.3% of the patients. The same patterns were seen in the control group. The age of interviewees varies from 11 to 65 years. HAT cases reported drawing water from wells (16.7% vs 6.7%; P > .05), walking along the river bed and in the peat lands (11.7% vs 9.2%; P > .05) at a higher rate than controls. The HAT cases reported involvement in various activities that put them in much closer proximity with water sources: bathing (8.3% vs 6.6%; P >.05), dishwashing and laundry (20% vs 37.5%), fetching household water (50% vs 24.2%; P<.0001), cassava retting roots (1,7% vs 7.5%), diamond digging in the mines (51.7% vs 21.6%; P < .0001), trafficking or buying diamond from diggers (13,3% vs 8.3% ; P > .05). Conclusion: Involvement in activities that connect with water sources increases the risk of acquiring HAT infection in Mbuji Mayi.

The concept of right-first-time production has become an essential feature of textile processing to enable companies to remain competitive and profitable through the many benefits achieved by this concept, not least the major cost savings that are obtained. It is perhaps surprising that no formal research and development programme was ever undertaken to achieve right-first-time in practical dyeing processes. The successful evolution of the concept depended on work carried out over many years by a relatively small number of organisations. Many application research and development projects were carried out, mainly with the laboratory, pilot-plant and bulk-scale equipment of the major users and manufacturers of dyes and equipment, to elucidate the important factors in achieving this concept.

“…It has been claimed that many developments in dye chemistry and dyeing technology have been supported by the accumulated knowledge of the physical chemistry of the dyeing process [17]. The initial objective was to elucidate the mechanism of the dyeing process, but it was recognised that such understanding would reveal the important relationships between dye structure, dyeing behaviour and fastness properties.…”

Does dyeing practice need dyeing theory?

It has been indicated that much of the practical data for dyeing processes available has never been exploited by the dye application industry, although dye research and development programmes have often identified targets with successful outcomes. Products and processes originated by dye makers have had a major impact on the success of practical dyeing, resulting in improved reproducibility and right-first-time processing. Dyeing theory research has consumed substantial resources invested by dye makers and academic institutions, but many of these studies have failed to yield useful data that could be applied directly in practical dyeing systems. The generation of detailed standard operating procedures has provided the conditions for achieving effective control over the practical dyeing process, an objective that was once thought to be attainable eventually by the refinement of dyeing theories.
