Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ensure the preservation and sustainability of traditional water mills in Turkey with their original function and to allow these water mills to become heritage for future generations. Design/methodology/approach The study is the original examination of one sample water mill to be conserved, that is chosen from 11 water mills that were determined after the investigation of water mills in of Antalya, in Mediterranean Region. A preliminary study was first performed using the external observation method on 11 horizontal wheel water mills. The water mills to be accorded the highest priority with regards to conservation were selected based on their characteristics. Restoration techniques were then proposed to ensure the sustainability of the traditional production systems while retaining their original function. Findings The decision of water mill with the highest priority of conservation is based on the analysis of “structural damage,” “all seasons accessibility” and “supporting environmental factors.” This water mill was used primarily for grain production and is located on the Doyran River in Antalya. Current circumstance of the sample mill is analyzed, restoration techniques for the purpose of conservation and creation of recreational sites and that enable the presentation of traditional production methods are suggested. Social implications This paper includes implications for the contribution to the region’s cultural identity by developing the region’s infrastructure for cultural and ecological tourism and by ensuring the continuation of traditional production methods and craftsmanship. Originality/value This paper brings a new approach to the identification of water mills and the decision of the water mills to be conserved as a result of field studies.

Aquaponics, the combination of hydroponics and aquaculture into one growing system, is a controlled environment production system that potentially has increased environmental and consumer benefits over traditional production methods. There are many different ways to configure aquaponics systems that include different fish species, water circulation, lighting, plant species/density, and more. We tested three cultivars of lettuce, a common aquaponically produced crop, for yield in multiple aquaponic systems and conditions over a 13-month period in Minnesota. Four different aquaponic configurations and four types of fish were tested over the course of the experiment. There was no addition of supplemental nutrients to the systems to evaluate the differences between treatments and set a baseline. There was no difference in yield between lettuce produced aquaponically and those grown in soilless medium. However, there was a difference in yield between lettuce grown with different fish treatments. The tilapia treatment produced higher average yield than yellow perch. There was a difference between cultivars, with higher average yield from loose-leaf bunch cultivars (Salanova, Skyphos) than the bibb type (Rex). Average yield for all but one treatment was above that of reported commercial field production, making lettuce a competitive aquaponic crop in most systems.

3D printing is a one of a new solution of manufacturing methods. This is caused by the ability of print a small part in a short time (rapid prototyping), but also because of the available materials. This is important because by using 3D printing, a specialized element is made for a specific apply. Compared with traditional production methods, such as turning and milling, 3D printing gives a wider possibility of making specific product patterns, thanks to which this method gained support and became a competitive one. Hence, the designing and manufacturing process based on it is more and more often referred as the “design-driven manufacturing”. This method gives the possibility of making personalized elements or a larger number of product variants, but also gives the possibility of manufacturing complete elements in one run. The article describes the possibilities of using 3D printing in the production of unusual elements in a uncertain situations.

Abstract PTFE is used in a variety of applications that goes from wiring in aerospace to non-stick coating in cookware. Some of the PTFE properties, such as high chemical stability and good conformability, makes it excellent for use as a gasket material, especially with aggressive media, pharma and food applications. The scope of this paper is to present an innovative PTFE gasket manufacturing method for sealing aggressive media. The patented technology represents a unique production process that improves reliability, reduces cost and material waste when compared to traditional production methods. The gasket can be tailored to meet specific needs making it possible for customizations such as radial density variations, assorted colors compositions according to the gasket region and properties, or even use of distinctive fillers along its radius. Comparative data are reported among the developed technology and traditional processes.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sejarah yang terdiri dari tahapan heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi, serta menggunakan pendekatan sosial ekonomi untuk menjelaskan secara kronologis pengaruh adanya persebaran industri batik terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat Bandung, Cirebon, dan Tasikmalaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel dalam mencari dan mengumpulkan data. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian studi pustaka, studi lapangan, observasi, dan wawancara, menunjukkan bahwa penyebaran budaya membatik berpengaruh terhadap munculnya industri batik yang berada di Bandung, Cirebon, dan Tasikmalaya. Ketiga daerah tersebut memiliki peran dalam menciptakan lapangan pekerjaan bagi masyarakat sekitar yang memiiki keahlian dalam membatik, baik tulis maupun cap. Selain itu, industri batik di tiga kota tersebut memiliki skala produksi industri rumah tangga, kecil, dan menengah. Menjadi suatu hal yang menarik melihat persebaran dan dinamika industri batik dengan cara produksi tradisional di Bandung, Cirebon, dan Tasikmalaya berkembang pada saat Indonesia mengalami masa industrialisasi selama Orde Baru. Penelitian ini menunjukkan terjadinya pasang-surut industri batik tradisional di tengah-tengah gempuran modernisasi di bidang industri, tidak terkecuali dalam tekstil lokal.The study used the historical method which included a number of stages, such as heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography and also applied a socio-economic approach to explain chronologically the effect of the distribution of the batik industry on the welfare of the people of Bandung, Cirebon, and Tasikmalaya. The sample is used in this study to find and collect data. The results of literature study, field studies, observations, and interviews have revealed that the spread of batik culture has had a significant effect on the emergence of the batik industries in Bandung, Cirebon, and Tasikmalaya. The batik industries in the three regions has played an important role in creating jobs for local communities who have the expertise in doing the batik work, both the ‘batik tulis' and the ‘batik cap'. In addition, the batik industry in the three cities also has the industrial productions which includes either the household or small to medium scale. It is an interesting fact to see the distribution and the dynamics of the batik industry were produced through traditional production methods in Bandung, Cirebon and Tasikmalaya when Indonesia was experiencing a period of industrialization during the New Order. The research has shown that there have been ups and downs in the traditional batik industry amidst the threat of modernization in the industrial sector, including local textiles.

Tofu industry dominates by small-scale business with traditional production methods. On the other hand, demand for tofu products is quite high, and it is needed to increase tofu production. This study discusses the making of hygiene tofu maker tools able to simplify the production process. Based on the results of interviews with three tofu home industries in Cikarang, Bekasi, 17 request attributes of making an assistive tool obtain. Based on this, four technical responses were collected and will be developed become four concept designs. After conducting concept selection, it is determined to plan for making a tool which can simplify the process of making tofu. That is, starting from the manufacturing process, which starts from the pulp to the process of making tofu, can be put together into one manufacture of the tool. Thus, designing this tool can integrate the six stages of the tofu production process.
