Different Methods of T Shirt Printing: A Comparative Analysis
Lina Jahangir, Lecturer, Department of Fashion Design & Technology
Shanto-Mariam University of Creative Technology, Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the different methods of T shirt printing. I have selected Kushtia zone for my data collection. Kushtia is an ancient city and it is very famous for cloth printing from the ancient time. T-shirt printing is one of the professions of the peoples in the Kushtia. Several procedures of printing such as dye sublimation, heat transfer and screen printing are engaged to print t-shirts in Bangladesh. However, screen printing is the most popular way in Bangladesh. It is easy to use and less costly. Despite the fact that the screen printing technique is the most ideal in Bangladesh, its developments come with challenges. The printing procedure is slow and the products that are churned out are of low quality. And in order to minimize the problems that local printers encounter during screen printing, the “Portable T-shirt Printing Machine” has been developed. The Portable T-shirt Printing Machine which is 80cm long, 50cm wide and 15cm high can be carried easily and printing can be done anywhere whether there is electricity or not. The adjustable metallic frame which holds the frame can be adjusted to suit any screen size; ranging from (45 cm by 45cm) to (16cm by 16m) or even smaller screens. The study design adopted for the qualitative (descriptive) approach. The sample population for the study is 110 representing 33% of the target population. The data collecting tools used were interview, observation and questionnaire. The main findings of the study were that, the speed of the traditional screen printing process can be improved when a machine is developed. Also, the fastness and competence of the t-shirt printing process have a direct relation with the income earned.

Grace Suk Ha Chan, Irini Lai Fun Tang & Mosa Wenxian Zhang China
Abstract
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) clearly reads as an audacious vision for transforming the political and economic landscapes of Eurasia and Africa over the coming decades via a network of infrastructure partnerships across the energy, telecommunications, logistics, law, Information and Technology, transportation and tourism sectors. The BRI prioritises people-to-people connection. Various countries and cities will benefit from promoting cultural nationalism and local civic identities. The joint project of Belt and Road (B&R) embraces the trend towards a multi-polar world, economic globalization and cultural diversity for upholding global free trade, allocating many resources and deeply integrating marketers. The BRI is a remarkable example of the borderless nature of infrastructure development. This initiative aims to foster economic growth and investment along the ancient Silk Road trading route between Europe and the East. For instance, in Xinjiang, Urumqi, various resources promoting the culture of the area add value to the tourism industry. This study adopted a descriptive research design that encompasses a qualitative approach and addressed the residents’ perception and attitude towards tourism. In-depth interviews with residents were conducted. Recommendations were made for destination marketers and governmental practitioners on how to improve and facilitate tourism industry for Xinjiang, Urumqi.

The Role of Martabat Tujuh within the Society of the Sultanate Buton Wolio
La Nalefo, Indonesia
Abstract
Martabat Tujuh laws that guided the State’s administration on the sultanate of Buton were born because of (1) the existence of tyranny in society by the noble families, (2) the sultanate of Buton has no state constitution as a guideline for administering the government, and (3) the existence of people’s hope with sultan to restore the economic crisis caused by the drought during that time.
Martabat Tujuh laws in political life, society and religion contain the virtues of value, namely (1) ainda indamo arataa sumanomo karo implies that someone should prioritize the safety of self and family; (2) ainda indamo karo sumanomo lipu, implies that the interest of the state is more important than the personal interest, (3) ainda indamo lipu sumanomo sarah implies that the interest of the leader is more important than the interest of the state, (4) ainda indamo sarah sumanomo religion, implies that religion is more important than the government. In addition, it also gives direction to the people to feel the pain between each other (binci-binci kuli), love each other (pomama siaka), keep each other (popia piara), listen the truth (poangka angkataka), and give each other in deficiency (poma maeka).

Determinants of Capital Structure: Empirical Evidence from Turkey
Merve Gizem Cevheroglu-Acar, Turkey
Abstract
The primary aim of this study is to identify the firm-specific determinants of the capital structure of non-financial firms in Turkey and to test whether the determinants offered by financial theory are able to provide convincing explanations for non-financial firms in Turkey. Because the relationship between liquidity and capital structure is not well examined for Turkish market in the context of capital structure theories, we include liquidity as independent variable in our models in addition to profitability, growth, non-debt tax shields, size, tangibility, and risk. We use panel regression as econometric model and cover the period from 2009 to 2016. Our results show that profitability, non-debt tax shield, size, tangibility, and liquidity are significant determinants of the capital structure, size being the most robust one. On the other hand, growth and volatility are not significantly related with the leverage. Moreover, we conclude that capital structure decisions of non-financial firms in Turkey are mostly consistent with the hypothesis of pecking order theory rather than trade-off theory.

Defense Strategies Adopted by the Mughal in the 17th and 18th Centuries for the Protection of Dhaka
M. Mahmud Ali, Doctoral Student, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Abstract
Dhaka was an important city during the Mughal period. The Mughals came to Dhaka to secure their eastern province. In order to protect Dhaka, the Mughal rulers built up a series of defense outposts in the neighborhood of Dhaka and many river forts, strategically located in different parts of Bengal. The Dulai River (now extinct) almost encircled the Mughal settlement. It was connected with the Buriganga River near the Mitford point to make a shortcut and enable Mir-i-Bahar (Mughal Admiral) to take steps quickly. The core of then Dhaka was Chawkbazar area. Thus, the Mughal Navy was stationed near Chandni Ghat–Swarighat area due to this strategic connection. As a result, they could move fast towards the Shitalakhya River via the Dulai River to intercept the invaders and intruders from east or north-east. The construction of a series of defense outposts in the neighborhood of Dhaka and many river forts (strategically located in different parts of Bengal) are indication of their well-thought defense strategy.
Key-words: Mughal, Dhaka, Suba-i-Bangala, Arakanese-Magh, Portuguese.
