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. While N (without additional material) with a compressive strength below the average id 63,704Kg/cm2 with water content of 10,167 in weight position 3,072Kg.

Abstract

In philosophical hermeneutics, the thoughts of Gadamer and Ricoeur about conditions of attaining to understandingare of utmost interest. Gadamer, by proposing "fusion of horizons" and considering the prejudices of interpreter as basic factorsof interpreting and understanding of all phenomena, and Ricoeur, by believing that we as human being only can understand theSelf through understanding Other, have paved the paths to attaining intercultural understanding. This study tried to investigatethe fundamental role of translation in the intercultural understanding from the window of philosophical hermeneutics, becauseaccording to Gadamer all understandings occur in language and this asserts that translation, as a linguistic and culturalphenomenon, can, after catastrophe of Babel, take the hearts and tongues of scattered human beings close to each other andas Ricoeur believes, humanity enjoys equivalence in spite of alterity.

Abstract

This article is an attempt to analyze social phenomena represented through the daily discourse of four single white,intelligent and rich New York women in their thirties in the central of the sitcom “SC”(hereafter SC). Main issue of this article is todiscover the social messages prevailed in this sitcom such as sexual release, the right of the woman to make her choices whichconstitutes main issues of the third wave of feminist movement. SC provides the viewer with real female conversations aboutquestions of sex in a way that has typically been a male discourse on television. Using different sociological theoreticalreflections on modernity we try to explain the changes shaping the individual and the family relations, occurring within themodern society. Through the four main characters of this sitcom, we try to present the fixation of women in modernity onshopping, fashion, body and sexual relationships and how the kinship relations are replaced by those of friends. SC givesemphasis on advertising latest fashions and restaurants, night clubs, coffee shops in certain places of New York City.

Abstract

This study is a test of “media framing theory”, which asserts that there is some cognitive structure lies in mind, whichleads the perception of anyone. These frames are created intentionally and sometimes, the reader himself makes them.Pakistan is at stake after 9/11 and is continuously trying to explain before the world as well as before the people of Pakistan thatshe doesn’t have any link with Al-Qaeda and terrorism. To make the world believe her position, Pakistan had to become the allyin war on terror but still the people of Pakistan are facing much destruction in the shape of drone attacks. Being in such crucialposition, Pakistani media frame these air strikes negatively. This study is a semantic and narrative analysis of the editorials ofThe Nation and Dawn. A total number of 82 editorials were analyzed, 65(79.26%)of daily The Nation while 17 (20.73%)editorialsof daily Dawn. The results prove the H1, which describe that The Nation frame drone attacks more negative than Dawn.

Abstract

In recent years, many studies in Asian countries have shown increased age at first marriage partly due tomodernization (Minh, 2007; Xenos and Gultiano, 1992). Researchers have provided experimental evidences, at both macro andmicro levels, to assert that individuals who possess more modern features (higher education level, more modern professions,and living in urbanized environments) are more likely to get married later than others with less modern features (Smith, 1980;Hirschman, 1985; Smith and Karim, 1980; UNS, 1986). Besides, some other factors can also have a strong impact on thechange in marriage age in Asia such as parents’ interference into children’s marriage or national policies (Minh, 2007). Is it truein present day Vietnam? Based on the results of 2009 Vietnam population and housing census and other surveys, we can affirmthat Vietnamese’s mean age of marriage, especially men’s is rising; for women, this trend has been likely to be stable comparedwith previous decades. Vietnamese men’s mean age at first marriage is higher than women’s in all the periods and regions.Urban young people get married later than rural ones because of the pressure of jobs, income, urban busy life; marriage is notregarded as important as other things. Kinh ethnic group - an ethnic majority in Vietnam, is considered to have moreopportunities to get access to modern life, to know more about national policies so they have a trend to get married later thanethnic minorities. People working in public sector are more likely to get married later than people working in private sector orhouseholds because they suffer pressure from jobs they are in charge of in public sector, as well as seriously obey nationalpolicies related to marriage and family. People at low level of education and doing jobs concerning agriculture before gettingmarried will often get married at younger age.

Abstract

The study investigated the influence of parental background variables (Parents’ attitudes towards occupations,Parents’ levels of formal education, and Parents’ occupation) on the career choice of secondary school student in Uyo LocalGovernment Area. Three hypotheses were raised to guide the study. This ex-post-facto survey employed the simple randomsampling technique in obtaining data from a sample of 200 SS3 students from 11 public secondary schools in Uyo LocalGovernment Area using the “Parental Variables and Career Choice Questionnaire” (PVCQ) designed by the researchers. Thehypotheses were subsequently tested using chi square at p≤.05 level of significance. Data analyses revealed that parents’attitudes towards occupations, parents’ level of formal education, and parents’ occupation exert influence on the career choice ofsecondary school students in Uyo Local Government Area. It was recommended that parents should desist from pressuringtheir children into taking up careers they do not possess the requisite abilities and that government should train and employmore career counsellors to assist these students in their career choice and preparation through the implementation of acomprehensive programme of career education.

Abstract

Vietnam has been implementing the policy of fertility decline through the population program, fertility health careincluding family planning. Small household size is now encouraged. Together with services of fertility health care, family planningprovided, a lot of popularizing, propagandizing activities for changing behaviors have been organized in order to equip coupleswith knowledge and encourage them to carry out the target of family planning. We have of course obtained some certainsuccess1, however there still exists the problem of couples giving birth to a third child, especially in some geographic regions,this rate tends to increase. One of the most important reasons for giving birth to a third child arise from the need of Vietnamesefamilies to have at least one son. Because the son is responsible for caring for old parents, ancestor worship, continuity thelineage, etc.

Abstract

This article employs a panel of double ordinary least squares to verify the sensitivity of income per capita to the influxof foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (EMCCA). Equally, it uses thegranger causality test based on the auto-regressive model, most especially the one recently developed by Toda and Yamamoto(1995) to establish the causality links between FDI and per capita income in the Economic and Monetary Community of CentralAfrica. Results obtained show that there exist a direct effect between FDI and income per capita in the entirety of EMCCA. Thegranger causality test shows contrarily that there is no link between FDI and income per capita in the EMCCA countries whereasthe Toda-Yamamoto finds a symmetric link among these variables in Equatorial Guinea, a unidirectional link of FDI towardsincome per capita in Congo, Gabon and Chad; and no link between the variables in the Republic of Central Africa andCameroon.

Abstract

It is important to note that there is no perfect electoral system model and any country that has to select a new systemis facing a very difficult choice. Of course that is easy to predict the mechanical effects of the chosen system, but when it comesto the psychological effects, the matter is more complicated, because of the institutional, political, cultural and social implications.The choice of electoral system in order to produce positive effects for the political system and society itself must fit maximallywith the context in which it is applied. Questions such as: what is the experience with democracy and democratic institutions,what can be classified as country level of heterogeneity, what is citizen participation in elections, how important is to improve thegender balance, how important is political stability, seem to guide us in determining the most appropriate electoral system for acountry. What is important to note, is that there is no electoral system that guarantees all the dimensions above, so the choiceshould reflect a compromise and fundamental interests of society.

Abstract

The paper explores the recent invasion of another Muslim state under the auspices of UNSC’s resolution 1973 andshouldered by NATO. The crisis in Libya leading to the invasion demands deeper understanding of the societal foundation of thisNorth African country. It is equally important not to analyze the events in isolation and independent of the unfolding realities inthe Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The Libya crisis is significant because unlike similar uprising in the region, it wassingled out for foreign intervention. Thus, this piece is therefore looking at the invasion with a multifaceted lens by exploringcompeting worldviews on the intervention. This piece will also not fail to identify the possible fallouts of the invasion, keeping inview the opportunists and losers of the intervention. This paper argues that the military intervention in Libya depicts thecontinuous transformation facing the modern state system and more particularly contributes to our understanding of statesovereignty and its alterations.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of preferential reforms of the mid-1990 implemented in CEMAC zone on thedeterminants of intra-regional trade. Using a gravity equation, the study shows the influence of each variable under studiesduring the two sub-periods (before and after the reforms that is 1984 -1993 and 1994 – 2003) on the intra-regional trade. Using agravity equation, the study shows the influence of each variable under studies during the two sub-periods on the intra-regionaltrade. The results show that the populations (both home and away), cultural linkages and the proximities were directly related tointra-regional trade after the reforms than before. At the same time, the transactions and transport costs were negatively relatedto the intra-regional trade, mostly after the implementation of reforms.
