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. The test results of compressive strength after 14 days with the lowest value at 3% of additional material combination of fiber content of 6% fiber stem and fruit by 70,384Kg/cm²with a water content of 15,254% In weight position 2,935Kg as well as the highest value on the combination of additional material 0% rods fiber content and 3% fruit fiber by 98,821Kg/cm² with a water content of 15,031% In weight position 3,058Kg.

Abstract

In our daily life, we need certain expenses to ensure the survival and development of ourselves. These expenses can consist ofdaily food buying, medicine or education, etc., as well as direct investment into production to create income sources for individuals andfamilies, other expenses on creating and maintaining social relationships as expenses on special ceremonies like weddings or funerals, etc.In addition, there are expenses on buying houses, equipment and household facilities. Thus, how is the reality of Vietnamese households’expenses at current time? Based on the statistics from General Statistical Office in Vietnam in the period 2002-2008, we see that theaverage expense of Vietnamese households was significantly improved in recent years. Average monthly expense of households headed bywomen is higher than that of households headed by men. Average expense gap between urban and rural areas have decreased slightly butremained large differences of the expense rate. Nationally, the biggest expense of all the households is living expense and this rate tendedto decrease year by year. The rate of living expense in urban areas was always higher than rural areas from 2002 to 2008 and theinequality of quintile 5 (the richest) and quintile 1 (the poorest) in monthly per capita average living expense is clearly shown. It can besaid that with daily expenses, women have the highest right of deciding, most men do not take part in this duty. With other expenses likechildren’s education and disease treatment, men play higher role in deciding. In buying expensive things, the rate of both wives andhusbands discussing on making decisions ranks highest.

Abstract

The military in Nigeria has dominated the socio-political landscape of the country for more than thirty years sporadically.Within these years, the military had executed far reaching reforms and policies in the socio-economic and political substructures of thenational economy. Although the military had made some progress in areas where civilian administration had failed, military incursioninto politics still negates a populist social revolution, thus failed to institute a genuine democratic culture in the country. This paperattempts an examination of military adventurism from the backdrop of revolutionary pressures in Nigeria and contends that suchinterventions foreclosed the chances of structural change by the people. The paper concludes that a social revolution is a fundamentalapproach to a genuine democratic culture in Nigeria.

Abstract

This paper provides insight into some of the research findings regarding two main aspects of women’s language, namely taboosand euphemisms. The main aim is to reveal topics that are considered as taboos, and the linguistic devices that women employ to expressthem. Exploring the motives that have given way to the creation of euphemisms we reached the conclusion that fear that people have ofsupernatural powers, superstitions and even the concern that we can cause offence to other human beings if we use a direct language,prevail among other reasons that account for their use. Furthermore, we will focus on the main areas that make a fertile ground forproducing many euphemisms. We will be introduced to the lexicon of disease, death, sex and tabooed body-parts. The various wayseuphemisms are conceptualized reflect directly the mindset and mentality of the community that uses them. Undoubtedly, euphemismsrepresent a wealth of vocabulary in oral culture. Thus, this topic is of a great interest for lexicographers, linguists and literaticians.

Abstract

Iranian nuclear program has become a political discussion of significance in both Iran and western countries. Iran claims thatit is entitled to nuclear sovereignty over civilian nuclear power and has denied that it has had a nuclear weapons program, while westerngovernments feel the peaceful nuclear program has hidden intension of nuclear weapons. The international mediators have been makingreconciliatory efforts with Iran but have met with little success. In the face of these past failures and present challenges, China, a memberof UN Security Council, could be forced to consider acting with the other major powers to curb Iran’s nuclear ambition. On one hand,China has been increasingly supportive of the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, at the same time; China’s economic boomhas resulted in an energy thirst that is now affecting Beijing’s foreign policy. China’s rise has brought its multifaceted national interests tothe fore including securing cooperative relations with other major powers, developing peaceful relations with neighbors including Iran, andgaining access to reliable resources to sustain the nation’s growing economy. Thus Iran’s nuclear case presents China’s leaders todemonstrate their ability to balance their domestic interests with their international responsibilities as a growing global power. Under thecircumstances China’s support for Iran's nuclear program has become one of the most talked topics in the international arena. This articlemainly aims at discovering the main factors behind China’s support for Iran’s nuclear program. It also includes understanding Iran’snuclear motivations and aspirations with a view to calculate Beijing’s stand.

Abstract

Recently, Educational Data Mining has become an emerging research field used to extract knowledge and discover patternsfrom E-learning systems. The educational system in Albania is currently facing a number of issues such as identifying students’ needs,personalization of training and predicting the quality of student interactions. Educational Data Mining provides a set of techniques,which can help the educational system to overcome these issues. The objective of this research is to introduce Educational Data Mining,by describing a step-by-step process using a variety of techniques such as Attribute Weighting (Weighting by Information Gain, Relief,Hi-Squared, Uncertainty), Clustering (K-Means), Classification(Tree Induction), Association Mining (Apriori, FPGrowth, CreateAssociation Rule, GSP) in order to achieve the goal to discover useful knowledge from the Moodle LMS. Analyzing mining resultsenables educational institutions to better allocate resources and organize the learning process in order to improve the learning experience ofstudents as well as increase their profits. The experimental results have shown that the data mining model presented in this research wasable to obtain comprehensible and logical feedback from the LMS data describing students’ learning behavior patterns. For this work,Rapid Miner (v5.0) and Weka (v3.6.2) data mining tools were used to mine data from the Moodle system, used in “C Programming -CEN112” course taken by Computer Engineering students at Epoka University, during Spring Semester 2009-2010.

Abstract

Despite the importance for the nonprofit organizations to communicate with the donors to receive support from them in thenonprofit sector, there have been surprisingly few researches examining communication and fundraising in the nonprofit sector. To receivemore support from the donors, nonprofit organizations should provide information about the needy, the organization itself, and its activitiesnot just to donors, who might be accepted as customers, but to the public in general as well. Nonprofit organizations like profitorganizations communicate with the environment mainly in two ways: controlled and uncontrolled communication. Having a strong brandalso helps nonprofit organizations to send messages to the donors. The effects of these communication tools on donors’ satisfaction, brandattitude, and giving intentions are examined in this paper. Results reveal that controlled communication and brand name play animportant role in providing information to donor and affecting their satisfaction, attitudes and behaviors.

Abstract

Migration of people from one place to another in countries of the world in search of better conditions of living predates history.It ignited western societies’ contact with Africa and the rest of the world. Prior the contact, agriculture was the main stay of Africa’seconomy. Thus, the movement of farmers from one location to another in search of fertile grounds for cultivation was in vogue. Afterindependence in Nigeria, cattle rearers are known for relocating from the North to South during dry season in search of green grass tosustain their cattle and occupation. In the present day Nigeria, the same scenario still abounds but in a new dimension. It now involvesmovement of highly skilled manpower from the country to developed societies. Among other things, this paper finds out if there is arelationship between poor leadership of the country and escalation of brain drain. Simple percentage and ranking method was used toanalyze the study’s data. Chi-square was used to test its hypothesis. Our result revealed a relationship between poor leadership of thecountry and brain drain. It equally indicated that students are interested in travelling out of the country to developed societies after theirstudy. Also from the study, twelve causes of brain drain were indentified. Some of them are: mass unemployment, poor salaries andconditions of service, mass poverty, crises-religious, communal, political, education etc. In respect of effects of brain drain on the nation’seconomy, eleven factors were identified by the respondents. Some of them are: loss of human capital assets to man various institutions inthe country, loss of tax of migrated manpower to foreign countries, loss of capital invested in education of migrated manpower assets etc.Finally, eleven solutions were profiled to the lingering problem of brain drain. The most important ones are: Good leadership, salary andconditions of service as well as rewarding system for diligent staff, mass employment etc.

Abstract

Postcolonial discourse has, for the past decade, been a major area of focus for scholarship in the academia. The issues ofalterity, identity, subeltanism, violation, religion, and culture which find expression in post-colonial studies has been debated from multipleperspective by scholars representing different and varied interests. This suggest therefore that within the framework of Postcolonial studiesthe creation of meaning goes along with a vision that maintains that postcolonial societies are caught in complex situations that resist anysingle interpretation. These complexities are experienced both at the individual and the societal levels. The expectations, roles and theissues attached to gender; the assumptions, the constraints, and the benefits of defined gender binarism in postcolonial societies createavenues for the interpretation and the creation of meaning in a postcolonial text. The Lady With A Beard by Cameroonian novelist andscholar, Alowbwed ‘Epie, is one of such postcolonial texts that open-up new avenues of discourse on the question gender.
