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

The major aim of this study was to explore how the body parts play roles in Persian political texts as metaphorical expressionsaccording to cognitive point of view. Due to this fact, by examining a number of contemporary political expressions, the accumulateddata were attributed into different body members including: dast (hand), cheshm (eye), sar (head), pā(foot), ru (face), dahān (mouth), del(stomach, heart), shāne (shoulder), angosht (finger), zabān (tongue), dandān (tooth), gush (ear), sine (breast), ghalb (heart) and gardan(neck). Based on the findings, there are fifteen body members by applying which the political metaphors are conceptualized andreflected in Persian political discourse. Furthermore, the results obtained from the current study revealed that among the human bodymembers which are conceptualized in Persian political texts, "head" is the most frequent one.

Abstract

This paper assessed the apprenticeship culture among the traditional tailors in Atiba Local Government Area of Oyo State.Adopting qualitative methods, specifically the Focus Group Discussion and In-depth Interview, the study found that apprenticeshipamong the traditional tailors is shaped by common framework of guiding principles. The nature of traditional apprenticeship culture alsovaries among the tailors. In addition the traditional apprentice also possesses some unique characteristics that distinguished them fromthe Ibo apprentice. Furthermore, they have unbreakable relationships that make for their unity against masters. The paper suggestsgovernment involvement through adequate supply of electricity, soft loan, training and retraining for masters as well as the organizationof extra mural centres for them. The tailors and their apprentices should be alive to new ways of doing their trade so as to be much moremarketable.

Abstract

School inspection is essential for the educational achievements, and educators are inspected year at schools every academicin Turkey. Students are also affected by the inspection process while their teachers are examined by inspectors at class time. This studyaimed to address primary school inspectors through the perceptions of the students, whose teachers were inspected during a class time.A 16-item open ended question form, which was developed by the authors, was conducted for the 60 5th-grade students who inspected.The data gathered were analyzed through qualitative methods. The data suggest that inspectors’ manner such as shouting, being angry,humiliating, scowling, being serious, controlling and taking notes, staring the students, and carrying and playing ruler in his/her handsfrightened the students. Besides, the students liked inspectors who were friendly, kind, natty and well-dressed, and who made jokes, andused good communication skills. The results of the study are supposed to foster the essence of school inspection and, in consequence,quality of education.

Abstract

This paper aims at elaborating and understanding anomie and the code of honor in the Albanian family. During the last twodecades, Albanians have experienced rapid changes, great turmoil and transitions from a communist, traditional ethnic-based societytowards a new era of modern norms of a “western” society. Referring to Durkhemian’s paradigm on anomie as the first leading cause tocrime and deviance will go further by explaining that when people are living in anomic state due to rapid changes in transitional societies,a revival of old canonical, patriarchal norms is seen which controls and constructs human behavior. In the Albanian psycho-socialsystem, the code of honor of Middle Ages is renewed, by influencing the level of crimes and homicides especially within the familymembers. We hypothesize that: “when ethnic-based family oriented societies face new rules and regulations, a deregulation of thesocial system and a disruption of family ties is displayed, hence a domain of anomie is created, a threat of collective conscience of thesociety, a state of being lost between past and future which influences people to be more prone to committing murder and crimestowards society, towards their families and towards themselves, committing suicide. The second hypotheses is that: the honor killingsare nothing but a rudiment of the old patriarchal societies and an expression of the collision between the new imposed norms and old,well-established traditions.

Abstract

This paper examined the response of Nigerian property valuation professionals to observed shifts in valuation theory, valuationconstruction process, firms’ structure and regulatory framework, over time (particularly in the UK from where Nigerian practice took itsroot), with the aim of ascertaining the dynamism of the local practice and the extent to which it is keeping pace with internationalstandards and best practices. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from local practitioners. The study revealedcomparatively negligible shifts in valuation theory, valuation construction process and firms’ structure; while the regulatory frameworkhas witnessed remarkable shifts. The study provides a benchmark for gauging the development of real estate valuation in Nigeria in thelight of contemporary international standards and best practices. The results point the way to improving valuation practice in Nigeria, andalso revealed the extent to which such improvements are feasible. The study identified the academia, individual valuation firm, and theNigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) as the major drivers of the required shifts in theory and practice. The studyalso proffered the means whereby the required shifts can be fast-tracked including an overhauling of the training syllabus; creation of acentral database; and a stronger collaboration between the academia and the practitioners particularly in research and informationdissemination.

Abstract

This study is an attempt to identify and describe certain ideational and illocutionary strategies which translators can make useof in their challenging task of translating literary works. They will be analyzed based on a hybrid framework comprising Halliday'ssystemic functional linguistics (SFL) and Lefevere's illocutionary strategies. To show such strategies at work, two Persian translations ofShakespeare's Macbeth were selected: one by Shadman (1972) and the other by Ashouri (1992). A descriptive and comparativeanalysis of the two translations, with a close eye on the source text, was done on the basis of ideational strategies (i.e. poetic function formeaning) and illocutionary strategies (i.e. archaism and rhyme for form). The findings revealed how the combination of the strategies, ifdone ideationally, could lead to the closest target language approximation of Shakespeare's elegance and balance in creating Macbeth.Thus, the study also tested the hypothesis that the very ideational combination of illocutionary strategies would bring forth a relativereconciliation for the old dichotomy of "fidelity" vs. "beauty" in the realm of literary translation.

Abstract

The lead released from a mine in Klity village killed many people, especially children. Moreover, it destroyed the ways of livesof the community and damaged the environment severely. The voices of the marginal Klity villagers have not been heard for over 10years. These voices of both physical and mental pain have finally led to the fight being heard and the faint voices have now beenamplified and heard by both the public and the ears of justice. The objective of this study is to discover how this overlooked communitywill be able to reconstruct their identity and create community self-expression in the public realm. Documentary research, participantobservation and interviews have been designed to collect data. The voice of Klity has never been heard until the media started torelease news about Klity. This communication is meant to allow the society to perceive facts and feelings. Simultaneously, thecommunity has had to struggle with structural power and mainstream cultures in order to receive recognition as humankind with humandignity as well as human security. The Klity case is the first environmental case in Thailand where the community has won a lawsuitagainst a powerful mine company and governmental organization, and this has raised public awareness about risk and socialconsciousness.
