The use of waste as an additional material on the building work was increasingly actively developed, such as straw, styrofoam, bagasse, cow manure. The key drivers of the use of waste is the potential for waste is increasing, due to the depletion of non-renewable resources. Papyrus rod diameter 60 cm, length 30 meters, has a volume of 5,652m3 as well as the edges of the Rods that can be used for construction with a thickness of 3 cm has a volume 0,942m3, Pith and fiber volume content of the stem 4,71m3/rod, then in one rod, there are 2 to 3 bunches each fruit bunches yield as much as 20 to 30 items for one harvest, by weight of fruit fiber 101.2 gram / fruit, Fiber characteristics are round and smooth is expected to reduce cracks in solid concrete brick and also can reduce the use of sand. This study aims to determine the compressive strength of the composition of the additional material of Rods fiber content and Fiber of palmyra fruit with a percentage 3%, 6% and 9%, mixing ratio; 1 cement and 5 sand in the manufacture of solid concrete brick. Rods fiber content used the average Ø1,031mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 39,305N / cm and fruit fiber to an average value Ø0,40mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 33,691N / cm. Making test specimen with a length of 20cm, width 10cm and thick 8cm.

Abstract

Current Italian Health legislation is a paradigmatic example of a system based on the fundamental principles of the safeguardand right to individual health. This raises the question of its evolution and gradual shaping stemming from very old and deep roots. Sucha long process started in the second half of the 19th century, when the newly reunified Kingdom of Italy, born in 1861, started to face theissue of a very obsolete health system. A number of laws sequentially provided the regulation of physician activities and health care for allpeople in need, regardless of their economic status and without any religious or political belief distinction, and culminate in the“Comprehensive Law on Health” enacted in 1934. These whole systems of laws have oriented the legislation on health care andorganization, becoming a fundamental landmark until the promulgation of the Italian Constitution in 1948.

Abstract

Greece from the beginning of the decade 1990 and afterwards has become a country of reception of refugees and economicimmigrants, mainly from countries of Eastern and southern-eastern Europe. Such kind of incidents resulted to the fear for the foreigner,the xenophobia towards populations that were considered as underdeveloped due to the arrangements that had prevailed in them after theend of Second World War and their weakness of communication with the remainder world. During the last period a big discussion hasarised concerning the subject of citizenship concession among immigrants and their families, specifically in the space of local selfgovernment.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the relationship between literature and ideology in a former communist country, namely in Albania.The relationship between literature and ideology in Albania resulted in both aesthetical and political consequences, during communismand also in post-communism.In the aesthetical point of view this relationship damaged the previous literary tradition in Albania, it created a limitedlinguistic model in all literary genres, and it formed a false concept of Realism to the readers and an unlikely perception of the socialreality itself. This relationship between literature and ideology caused the denigration of the dissenting authors and their expulsion fromthe literary history even though they were representatives in the Albanian literature.In the social and political point of view it strongly supported the war of classes through imprisonments, internal exile of thewriters and their families, and even the execution of the writers that were considered enemies of the Party and people.Even presently in post-communist Albania there are still opened debates on the political persecutions of the writers based onlyon their ideological disagreement with the regime, but also about the other side of the issue, which is the possible connection between writersand the State Apparatuses where they might have served during dictatorship.These phenomena will be analyzed basing on methodological lines that are mainly culturologic ones.

Abstract

The present study shows how Shakespeare seeks to manipulate the reader's response in Hamlet by using contradictions andambiguities and how the reader eventually reconstructs a palpable world in the impalpable world of the text. These contradictions compelthe reader to participate in the composition of the text and make him keep changing his own approach to the work with the result that themore he reads the play, the deeper he finds himself entrenched in contradictions. As he fails to grasp the logic of events, the reader relateshis own world to the text instead of relating the events to his world and recreates his own world. Therefore, he can easily detach himselffrom the text and let his imagination run loose as the play proves too vague for him to comprehend. Eventually, the reality achieved by thereader in the course of reading the play is only the reality, which dwells in the innermost recesses of his mind.

Abstract

The ability to compose a piece of argumentative text is important for EFL and ESL learners. Despite its importance, thereis a gap in the literature about how Iranian students write essays in this genre that this study intends to fill. Building upon Halliday andHasan's (1976) cohesion theory, this study intended to investigate Iranian graduate non-English majors' use of cohesive devices inargumentative essays, and also the relationship between the number of cohesive devices and writing quality. An analysis of fortyargumentative essays written by forty Iranian graduate non-English majors showed that the students were familiar with various cohesivedevices and used them in their writings. Among the cohesive devices used lexical devices had the largest percentage of the total number ofcohesive devices, followed by reference devices and conjunction devices. Furthermore, it was found that there was no significant relationshipbetween the number of cohesive devices used and quality of writing. The findings of the study have some important implications for EFLwriting teachers and learners.

Abstract

The work of assessing students’ learning is complex. In order to assess their work objectively, teachers and instructors usevarious methods and instruments, one of which is testing. We are aware that nowadays testing has become an inherent part of the societywe live in. Consequently, many important decisions are based on test results. So, it is not surprising that anxiety during tests has becomea prominent problem in schools all over the world. The present study focuses primarily on test anxiety and its impact on learning, as wellas its causes and effects on students. A test anxiety scale followed by a set of questions was completed by a sample group of undergraduatestudents of “Aleksandër Moisiu” University. The results indicated that a considerable number of students were affected, at least at somedegree, by test anxiety. From this perspective, the following questions are raised: “What causes test anxiety?” and “What can be done toalleviate this problem?” The findings of this empirical study, the review of literature as well as students experiences provide usefulsuggestions concerning the ways of alleviating test anxiety.

Abstract

The following article is an analysis of 33 female wills (from 16th-20th centuries) found in notarial protocols at the MurciaRegional Archives (Murcia, Spain). Using a Critical Discourse Analysis framework, with special emphasis of Pierre Bourdieu’spostulates, this article studies how women handle gender, cultural, and power relations, challenge social hierarchies and, at the same time,reproduce them in their attempt to look respectable/honorable, assert their power, redefine themselves and negotiate their public image.
