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. Research result of solid concrete brick with additional material of rods fiber content and palmyra fruit fiber was included on the type B70, the average value of the compressive strength of 78.57 Kg / cm² (SNI-03-1348-1989) with a water content of <25%.

Abstract

This study aimed at exploring the correlation between readers’ evaluation of text-readability on one hand and somepopular readability formula’s (Flesch Reading Ease Readability Formula, Gunning’s Fog-Index of Readability, The SMOG Indexof Readability, Flesch-Kincaid) evaluation of text-readability on the other. This study was conducted with an overall number of118 participants. The participants were selected from among male and female undergraduate students studying different EFLrelatedmajors at the Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics of IAU, Shiraz Branch. The participants were chosenusing convenient sampling procedure. To achieve the objectives of the study, 5 passages of different readability index wereused. Moreover, a questionnaire aimed at tapping responses from the participants was devised on each passage. Finally, anumber of SPSS analyses were run and the results of the study did not reveal any significant correlations between readers’ andthe formulas’ evaluation of text-readability level. As a conclusion, it seems that those teachers who have used the readabilityformulas as valuable measures for evaluating materials to use with their students should use them cautiously. Of course, furtherresearch seems necessary to check the validity of the readability formulas.

Abstract

The definition of the constitutional law is an important theoretical problem, because in literature, generally, "there isno single definition" of the constitutional law. Seen from the perspective of the broad (wide) comparative juridical-constitutionalliterature, a conclusion drawn can be, that the constitutional law can be defined in two main meanings: first, in the traditionalmeaning and, secondly, in the modern one. In the traditional sense, the constitutional law is defined as "a set of juridical normsthat refer to the dispersion of state power and the exercise of that power by the state bodies and with which in the same time thereciprocal relationships within state bodies, and the reciprocal relationships between state, citizens and institutions are defined."In the frame of the traditional sense, the constitutional law can be viewed in two basic meanings (senses) one, in the strictmeaning and, two, in the broad one. In its narrowest sense, the constitutional law can be defined as "a set (an entirety) ofjuridical norms, intended to regulate relationships within the state between the ruler (ruler) and the governed (ruled).

Abstract

This study aimed to 1) investigate the usage of vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs) of the second-year students atBangkok University 2) compare the usage of vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs) between achievers and underachievers 3)compare the usage of vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs) of the second-year students who have different reading behavioroutside of class. The instruments used for collecting data were a questionnaire and an in-depth interview. Proportional stratifiedrandom sampling was employed to formulate a sample of 364 students from nine faculties of Bangkok University. The data werestatistically analyzed in terms of mean and standard deviation. t-Test analysis was used to find the difference between achieversand underachievers on the usage of vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs). In addition, One-way Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) and Welch test were used to compare the usage of vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs) of students with differentreading behavior outside of class. For the in-depth interview, six underachievers and six achievers were randomized through asimple random sampling technique to give their opinions on the questions provided, and the data were collected to assure theresults of the study. The results of this study showed that the overall usage of vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs) ofBangkok University students was at a medium level, and significant differences existed in vocabulary retention techniques(VRTs) usage between the achievers and underachievers and of the students with different reading behavior outside of class.The findings of this research would help the teachers to improve the process and material for teaching and learning vocabularyretention techniques (VRTs) and raise awareness of vocabulary retention techniques(VRTs) among the students in order toenhance the students’ lexical competence which can develop their reading comprehension. Pedagogical implications intoteaching vocabulary retention techniques (VRTs) were suggested.

Abstract

The study analyzed the short run and long run influenced of some macroeconomic variables on ttotal stocktransactions in the Nigerian stock exchange market. Unit root test (Augmented Dicker Fuller test) conducted on the data showsthat all variables are integrated of order one. The short-run and long-run elasticities of total stock transaction with respect tosome key macro-economic variables were determined using the techniques of co-integration and error correction estimation.The empirical results reveal that coefficients of industrial capacity utilization rate, domestic savings, external reserves, total valueof import and lending rate of commercial Banks are significant in the long run. Whereas the coefficients of external debt,domestic savings, total import, per capita real GDP; industrial capacity utilization and index of agricultural production weresignificant in the short run. The result calls for a policy package that should focused on stabilization of the real and monetarypolicy variables in the Nigerian economy. Also, institutional and operational reforms in the country’s capital market are inevitablein a bit to increase the stock exchange market’s efficiency.

Abstract

Edgar Lawrence Doctorow is generally regarded as a postmodern historical novelist who mingles the marvelous withthe real. His novels are mainly set in the American past. The novels are greatly indebted to historical events and personages butengagement with documentary history is not Doctorow's prime obsession. Critics are at odds in deciding upon the paradox inDoctorow's novels; whether he is a politically minded novelist or an aesthetically obsessed one. Acknowledging the strongpolitical tendencies in Doctorow's novels, many critics claim his enthusiasm and passion for the act of writing finally outweighsthe political inclination of the novels. Identifying Historigraphic metafiction as Doctorow's favorite and repeated technique invirtually all his novels, the present reading wishes to observe the novellas from a contrasting perspective.

Abstract

This article provides a syntactic analysis of Topicalization and Focalization processes in Persian within the frameworkof minimalist syntax. According to Haegeman and Gueron’s Split CP Hypothesis (1999), Topicalization is a recursive processand can apply to more than one constituent in a sentence, while Focalization is unique and therefore appears in a singleprojection. In this paper we argue that in Persian more than one constituent might undergo focalization. This implies thatFocalization cannot be unique. Thus, we first propose two Focal Phrases in the periphery position of a clause. The specifierpositions of the two Focal phrases are the landing sites of the focused constituents. Then we suggest the relative position offocal phrases with topic phrases in Persian. It will be concluded that the first focus phrase appears immediately after thecomplementizer phrase before the first recursive topic phrase followed by the second focus phrase and recursive topic phraserespectively.

Abstract

The construction industry and her projects are replete with potentials for learning at both the organisational andproject levels. Yet the industry often wastes this opportunity. This research was embarked upon to investigate the disposition ofconstruction industry participants to the use of organisational learning (OL) in the Nigerian construction industry. Data wascollected using a structured questionnaire administered purposively on sixty construction industry organisations operating inLagos, Nigeria. The collected data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings indicate thatmajority of respondents agreed that ‘Managers ask probing questions and invite input from others in discussions’ and also‘Managers listen attentively’. The study results further indicate that there is no significant difference in disposition toorganizational learning between contracting, consulting, and client organizations within the Nigerian Construction Industry. Thisstudy recommends that a more detailed investigation be made of those items of measure where respondents indicatedisagreements to understand better the underlying phenomena. Measures indicating strong indices of agreement can be furtherexplored for improvement.

Abstract

The presence of humor in audiovisual text as it is by the dialectal variants, the cultural references etc., implies achallenge for the translator, and we need to admit, it is not an easy challenge. As long as more elements are characterizedculturally, more it becomes almost impossible for the translator to recreate the same comic effects on the original film, as thenew spectator of the metatext who may not share the cultural environment and the cultural baggage of the prototext. This articlewill analyse problems encountered in the translation of Italian comedies into the Albanian language. We will see concretely howthe dialectal variants, the referents of language, the different registers of speech used to create various shades of humor inaudiovisual texts are difficult for the translator as a mediator between two cultures.

Abstract

Although T.S. Eliot is primarily appreciated as a poet, his contribution in the field of literary criticism and literarytheoretical discussion are greatly important. The interrelationship between his criticism and his poetic work is marked by manyconcepts that are materialized in his artistic creation. The objective correlative is a perfect example of this phenomenon, since itis Eliot’s original notion and also because it has been applied to a large extent in his poems. This article aims to investigate theobjective correlative from a theoretical point of view and in comparison to other theoretical concepts explicated in Eliot’s criticalessays. In addition, the article addresses the use of this literary device in the capacity of urban life, urban ambiance and urbansites in T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, where metropolitan elements provide not merely a setting for the development of thecontent, but also one of the most recurrently encountered motifs. Eliot’s use of metropolitan details in this poem contributes inthe portrayal of modern life by supplying a composite of emotional, logical and sensory reactions, compatible with his descriptionof the objective correlative, which in turn enables a unified experiencing of the poem.
