Fire must be responded to quickly and effectively. Difficulties in reaching the fire location may arise due to high traffic. Motorcycle fire rescue can be an alternative to first aid in challenging areas. However, these areas, characterized by diverse cultural backgrounds, require careful consideration. Culture significantly impacts how such rescue systems are perceived, accepted, and utilized. This study delves into the efficiency and implementation of motorcycle fire rescue systems across different contexts, focusing on their alignment with regional cultural norms. Objectives include assessing operational challenges, identifying cultural implications, proposing culturally sensitive design recommendations, evaluating acceptance and effectiveness, and suggesting strategies and policy enhancements to strengthen emergency response capabilities. A preliminary trial was conducted to validate the survey instrument, followed by statistical analysis such as structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, and satisfaction level assessments. Findings highlight how cultural attitudes shape design preferences, the need for adaptable approaches to overcome operational hurdles, and the importance of adhering to culturally relevant design principles for system efficacy. Field tests also suggest potential improvements in emergency response effectiveness. Recognizing cultural considerations is essential in designing motorcycle fire rescue systems to enhance emergency response in developing nations. Furthermore, aligned with sustainable urban development goals, this research provides policymakers with valuable insights and practical approaches for engaging stakeholders. Equipping designers with information to address motorcycle fire incidents using environmentally friendly solutions underscores the importance of crafting emergency response plans sensitive to cultural differences across diverse landscapes.

“…A weight reduction of approximately 55.6% was obtained with this substitution, which translates into lower fuel consumption, lower pollution and lower cost. Figure 10 summarizes various other potential applications of hemp-fiber-reinforced composites; such as strengthening unreinforced masonry walls using natural hemp fibers [112]; as a loose-fill insulation material [113]; in automobile parts [114,115]; for biomedical applications, such as for joints and bone fixtures to alleviate pain in patients [116]; or for shoe material, owing to the good moisture absorption and higher evaporation rate among other materials in high-humidity environments [117][118][119]. automobile parts [114,115]; for biomedical applications, such as for joints and bone fixtures to alleviate pain in patients [116]; or for shoe material, owing to the good moisture absorption and higher evaporation rate among other materials in high-humidity environments [117][118][119].…”

Research on plant-fiber-reinforced composites has gained significant research interest since it generates composites with exceptional mechanical properties; however, the potential of hemp fibers can only be fully exploited if the fibers are well separated from the bundle to achieve cellulose-rich fibers. This is because well-separated bast fibers that are long and exhibit higher fiber aspect ratio enhance the mechanical properties of the composite by influencing property translations upon loading. A key feature for successful implementation of natural fibers is to selectively remove non-cellulosic components of hemp fiber to yield cellulose-rich fibers with minimal defects. Targeted pre-treatment techniques have been commonly used to address the aforementioned concerns by optimizing properties on the fiber’s surface. This in turn improves interfacial bonding between the fibers and the hydrophobic polymer, enhances the robustness of hemp fibers by improving their thermal stability and increases resistance to microbial degradation. In this study, we comprehensively review the targeted pre-treatment techniques of hemp fiber and the effect of hemp fiber as a reinforcement on the mechanical properties of polymeric composites.

Thermosetting resins are used in many applications due to their great mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. However, the flammability of thermosets needs to be improved to minimize fire risk and meet fire safety regulations. Some commercially available flame retardants have an adverse effect on people’s health and the environment. Thus, the development of novel, more sustainable flame retardants obtained or derived from biomass has become an objective of contemporary research. The objective of this study is to summarize recent progress on bio-based flame retardants for thermosetting resins so as to promote their prompt development. Groups of biomass compounds with a potential for flame retardant industrial applications were introduced, and their thermal degradation was investigated. The authors focused mostly on the thermal degradation of composites containing bio-based flame retardants determined by thermogravimetric analysis, their tendency to sustain a flame determined by a limiting oxygen index, and fire behavior determined by a cone calorimeter test. The results showed that the mode of action is mostly based on the forming of the char layer. However, in many cases, there is still a necessity to input a high amount of additive to achieve significant flame retardancy effects, which may adversely impact mechanical properties.
