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

In order to develop the economy in most organized and desirable achievements outcomes is required the greatest efficiency ofthe organizing institution in the investment advisory. By this context, state institutions, professional institutes and other mechanisms ofcivil government should be active in the development policies orientation, as well as engaged in the design of economic investmentprojects. Besides other financial resources, great investment potential and our workers are employed abroad. Hence, owners who havea long time in Western Developed Countries, the experience gained and the financial savings budget are considerably potential that theircapital engaged in various productive activities, which will enable economic development on the one hand, to increase the financialpotential and on the other hand their financial remittances dedicated to their families, serve not only to meet the basic needs, but also toincrease business development; While those who invested in the economy at large led to the trade development ,although thecircumstances were difficult they invested in manufacturing. Today the benefits of different countries, financial institutions and the laborforce concentrated in the ”Diaspora-Immigration” Kosovo investitures that are living in developing countries, are great potential toinfluence economic development in general and the development of private initiative in particular. According to these conditions shouldbe taken into account the importance on financial orientation of those economic activities which are long-term perspective.

Abstract

Language policy and practice in Algeria is subject to an extreme ideological dispute that has accompanied political, culturaland social life since independence. In a rich linguistic arena, where four languages (standard Arabic, Algerian spoken language, Berberand French) interact as much as they compete, political and religious ideologies, by instrumentalizing standard Arabic, have had theirshare in directing policies and developing representations that serve political interests, often at the expense of a peaceful and fruitfulcoexistence within a diverse linguistic market. The question raised here is the following: how does standard Arabic serve politicalinterests, despite the fact that its political status totally contradicts its real sociolinguistic one? With a colinguism being set as a rule forlanguage policy, standard Arabic, religion and politics have come to form a triad whose purpose is to maintain conditions for aperformative ideological discourse whose permanence needs the people’s consent and rallying belief in a community of believers. Themain goal of such a state is to exclude the vast majority of the population from the field of political debate and reflexion, and discardoppositional intellectuals who do not use standard Arabic.

Abstract

The hedonic pricing model has been employed with a degree of success in housing market analysis in developed countries.This paper demonstrates the potentials of the same technique to the study of housing markets in a developing country like Nigeria. Thepaper used data from Ikeja area of Lagos state, Nigeria, to provide empirical evidence on market parameters that describe the hedonicprice structure for apartments (flats) in a typical Nigerian city. Primary data were elicited through structured questionnaire, complementedwith selective interviews and personal observations. The results revealed that number of bedrooms, condition of the property, availabilityof pipe-borne water, average size of bedrooms, and numbers of bath/toilets, in that order, are the main descriptors of apartment rentalsin the study area. The results of this empirical investigation are of particular importance to investors, developers, financiers, and realestate valuers operating in the property sub-market under consideration. Among others, adequate knowledge of issues investigated andraised would assist developers to build to consumer tastes and preferences. The resulting model also provides an alternative totraditional valuation techniques and affords greater flexibility in accounting for sustainability in real estate valuation.

Abstract

The preponderance of violent ethno religious fracas in Nigeria, especially in Northern part of the country, has acquired such adreadful level of reoccurrence. This violent insurgence has started taking its toll on the response and organization of the real propertymarket. The study seeks to examine the influence of ethno religious conflict on settlement patter of some selected cities in NorthernNigeria. Empirical survey revealed that the level of notoriety it has acquired has shaped and influenced the real property marketenterprise and ushered in settlement pattern along religious and in some cases ethnic lines. This development has negative impact onland use and administration as some activities are inaccessible in some areas of dominant religion. Government and community leadersshould checkmate this hideous development which is fast-spreading and can dramatically disrupts land use planning, spill over bordersand reduce growth and prosperity across entire regions.

Abstract

There are so many controversial debates over the features of Beckett's dramatic works that surpass the previous models ofliterary plays. Andrew K. Kennedy (1991) asserts that "what is unique is the supreme fiction that turns so many disparate ideas,impulses, beliefs, and unbeliefs into a new and personal mythology" (3). Thus, the main concern of this paper concentrates on Beckett'sphilosophy that breaks with the conventional principles of theatre in order to promote a new view of dramatic form which Lionel Ablecoins as metatheatre. Abel constructs his notion of metatheatre on two famous phrases which are 'the world is a stage' and 'life is adream' that justify the dreamlike atmosphere of Beckett's plays. Beckett's plays that at the first glance seem nonsense or meaningless,demand a deeper awareness and should be evaluated by destructing the conceptual boundaries as they are constructed upon thedeviation from the standard norms. His plays insist that the ultimate reality of one's mind is beyond the limits of logical mind. Hence theword meta- theatre is suitable for his plays, because the basic idea of meta- theatre is that of multiple layers of meaning. Beckett'stheatrical masterpieces, Waiting for Godot and Endgame are among the best examples of falling away from the accepted standards.Still, the loose structure of the plays with little or no action in which a few anti - heroes play out their roles in a nightmarish world ofmotionless time does not make it pessimistic. As Brook (1990) says, "Beckett's dark plays are plays full of light" (65). Waiting for Godotand Endgame in particular will lead us to advance the central argument and achieve a more comprehensible analysis of Beckett’s majorplays.

Abstract

The objective of the paper has been to assess the relationship between the real exchange rate and inflation in Nigeria. Usingdata covering the period between 1970 and 2010, the cointegration test result shows a long run relationship between inflation and thereal exchange rate. The satisfactory speed of adjustment indicated by the error correction model further supports this long runrelationship. The result showed that both domestic and imported inflation appreciated the real exchange rate. The ARCH result indicatesthe persistence of volatility between the rate of inflation and the real exchange rate. An indication that the real exchange rate in Nigeriahas been susceptible to fluctuations in the rate of inflation. Policy makers should thus, not rely only on policies to stabilize real exchangerate by targeting inflation, but should employ domestic policies to increase export and production of previously imported inputs to reducethe problem of imported inflation.

Abstract

This article is a general overview on the problems that stand in the way of Iranian adult learners of French. The articleintroduces the linguistic background of learners as one of the factors causing problems for them. English, the language they learnt duringschool years, and Persian, their mother tongue, are introduced as the main sources of these problems and this is because of thedifferences they have with French. The problems are categorized into three categories of discriminating phonemes and segmentingwords, pronouncing and writing adjectives and finally pronouncing and writing verbs. Attempt has been made to offer some solutions forthe existing problems as well. Teaching phonemes meticulously from the very outset of training can be one of the solutions to thisproblem. As the next step, after acquiring some preliminary skills by learners, teachers should focus on some other aspects includingself correction and self monitoring exercises. They should also ask learners to record their voice and listen to it and to guess themeaning from context.

Abstract

This paper examines the social problem of trafficking in human beings in Nigeria. It considers the root causes of the problem,the socio-economic implication of human trafficking, its recent global dimension and the policies and programmes of the Nigerian state incombating this ugly phenomenon. The paper made predominant use of secondary sources of data. Findings reveal that though the statehas certain policies and programs aimed at combating human trafficking, the problem persists because the institutions saddled withthese responsibilities are fundamentally weak. The paper, therefore, recommends certain measures to help in tackling the problem ofhuman trafficking in Nigeria.

Abstract

Food prices in South Africa have increased significantly in recent years. The impact of these price increases on manyresidents remains largely unknown. The study reported here analyzed the perceptions of households in a low income township ofBophelong (South Africa) in order to assess the impact of increases in food prices. The results are based on a household survey usingquestionnaires. The majority of households reported that they do not have enough income to meet their daily needs. The increase inprices in general was much higher for electricity and commuting. A logistic regression model was used to determine the socio-economicfactors affecting the reported impact of increase in food prices. Married and employed household heads reported lower severity levels.Female-headed households reported higher severity levels of price increases. Household income, household size, age, educationalattainment of the household head and the labour- force had no effect on the reported impact of prices. The article provides usefulinformation to policy makers by providing information on the reported impact of rising food prices among low income households in aSouth African context.
