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 this paper we want to illustrate the facts that both means of supplying markets exporting and production in those markets.Moreover, there are two international business activities that we are studying in our paper research. Among, the companies Forbes(2000) listed as the 100 largest U.S multinationals companies. According the World Investment Report small and middle enterprisesaccount for 20.8% of the total 3.470 U.S. In this paper we analyze two topics directly related to exporting and production in foreigncountries to compare with foreign investments in Republic of Macedonia. The aim of this study is to analyze: (1) international trade whichincludes exports and imports in Republic of Macedonia, (2) foreign direct investments which international polices in Republic ofMacedonia must make to establish and expand the activity components and products in Republic of Macedonia. Today’s multinationalscreate widespread network of research, component production assembly and distribution.” We want together date from the developmentof foreign investments of Republic of Macedonia.

Abstract

Teacher self-efficacy is the confidence in one`s ability to motivate and promote positive outcomes in students. It can beinfluenced by contextual and demographic factors. The present study is an attempt to analyze the role of factors such as teachers`working environment, experience, and gender on teachers` beliefs about self-efficacy. For this purpose, 40 Iranian English as ForeignLanguage teachers (20 form public setting, and 20 from private setting) with different gender and work experience were chosen. Ateacher self efficacy scale and three open-ended questions were used to investigate the possible differences of teachers` beliefs withrespect to the variables mentioned. The results indicated that working environment, experience, and gender can effect teachers` beliefsof self-efficacy significantly. The findings have pedagogical implications for teacher education programs.

Abstract

In recent years, Turkey has seen an increase in immigration and, consequently, also in the enrolment of internationalstudents. These students from many countries, with a variety of cultural, linguistic, ethnic, religious, and educational backgrounds are inneed of education that “teaches the value of cultural diversity.” Schools must also deal with issues related to differing socioeconomicbackgrounds, and, sometimes, limited awareness of diversity and a lack of cultural competence. Thus, it has become essential forTurkish schools to adopt a multicultural curriculum, restructured in accordance with knowledge of the right of all to education, in keepingwith principles of global justice. The purpose of this paper is to provide multicultural educators with such an insight from research ondevelopment curriculum of multicultural education. In addition, this paper offers ideas culled from successful multicultural programs in theU.S. and elsewhere and discusses how these ideas can be made useful in the Turkish system.

Abstract

This Paper examines current measures of cultural promotion and tourism development in Nigeria, focusing on the efforts ofCross River State. Described as Nigeria’s foremost tourists’ destination, Cross River State has developed what appears to be a uniquecultural and tourism development plan, featuring two major products – The Calabar Festival and Carnival Calabar in its tourism calendar.In the first place, the paper analyses the structures and dimensions of the two cultural and tourism products, situating them in thecontexts of traditionality and modernity on the one hand, and globalization and localization on the other. In the later part, the paperattempts to evaluate the economic, social and political implications of the festival and carnival on tourism development in Nigeria. Inconclusion, the paper affirms that with products such as Calabar Festival and Carnival Calabar, Nigeria may already have started theprocess of economic diversification from oil driven economy to ecological/cultural tourism-driven economy of the future.Recommendations are made towards the fortification of the tourism industry, particularly in the areas of security and privatization foraccelerated growth.

Abstract

The intention of this study was to investigate the causal relationship, both long-run and short-run, between KSE (Karachi StockExchange) and some macroeconomic variables in Pakistan. The monthly data of all macroeconomic variables and stock prices wastaken from January 2001 to December 2010. In this paper, the variables which have not been previously studied by the researchers inPakistan were also included. The set of macroeconomic variables used in this study as an independent variables were Exchange Rate(ER), Foreign Exchange Reserves (FER), Industrial Production Index (IPI), Interest Rate (IR), Imports (M), Money Supply (MS),Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Exports (X). The stock price index of KSE, which is the largest stock exchange of Pakistan, was takenas a dependent variable. The statistical techniques, which were employed in this study, include the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) andKwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) unit root test, Johansen Co-integration test, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) andGranger Causality test. The study revealed the presence of long-run association between macroeconomics variables and stock prices.FER, IR, M, MS and WPI showed a positive and significant relationship with stock prices, while ER and X indicated a negative andinsignificant impact on stock prices but IPI has a negative but significant relationship with stock prices. The two error correction terms likeVecm1 (-1) and Vecm2 (-1) were resulted from VECM, the first error correction term was significant and indicated short term adjustmentstowards the equilibrium path. The results of Granger Causality showed that MS and WPI have bi-directional relation while ER, FER andM have uni-directional relationship with the stock prices but IPI, IR and X showed not any casual relationship.

Abstract

The African Union (AU) was set up in 2002 with one of its core objectives being to ensure Peace and Security in the continent.In response to this, the AU has been involved at various levels in peacekeeping activities involving deployment of troops. Given that thesuccess or failure of any peace operation is tied to the various components of the peace process, this paper examines the AMISintervention in Darfur in terms of its limitations as a useful model for troop deployment in future African peace operations. It finds that thesecurity situation in Darfur was a huge challenge to AMIS and its deployment to Darfur was flawed on several counts including a weakmandate and unclear terms of reference for the mission.

Abstract

Today’s society constantly raises issues related to our lives, both in personal and social plans. Handling and resolving theseissues often require not only scientific knowledge but skills and attitudes to engage in discussions related to Historycal events andespecially to make critical judgments in dealing with sociological issues. Determining the difference between History and Sociology helpspeople understand the impact of socio-economic activities and people in the community where we live, highlights developments inrelations between local, national and global level; highlights the ability of citizens to influence the life of community and beyond;examines breadth and depth of sustainable development issues and promotes respect for people and other cultures in the environmentwhere we live.
