Palmyra Fiber as Additional Materials on Solid Concrete Brick of Aggregate
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%.

<![CDATA[During practically its entire history Azerbaijan was objective involved in processes geopolitical and, foremost military andpolitical expansion. In this article we consider the main stages of the military expansion of Russian empire in northern Azerbaijan duringof the XVIII and beginning of the XIX centuries. It was in the XVIII century military-political situation on South Caucasus characterized bystrengthening of activity in the region of three regional powers - Russia (only starts to gain positions in the region), as well as Iran andthe Ottoman Empires (more and more losing its positions). Thus, the main focus of Russia's imperial policy in the Caucasus at the XVIIIand beginning of the XIX centuries was to create a «buffer» zone, with a view to establishing a military base for opposition to thedominant in the region neighboring states: Ottoman Empire and Qajar Iran. As a result, the main victim of policies carried out by Russiain the Caucasus was, of course, the people of Azerbaijan, which lost part of their historic lands.]]>

<![CDATA[It is common wisdom that Turkey, with its divided society, has a long but troubled history with democracy. Especially withrespect to the last three decades, one should remember the making and functioning of the current constitution. Since its adoption in1982, current constitution of Turkey has been a target of condemnations, since it had been a fruit of a military coup d’etat . Falling shortof the current international standards of democracy and rule of law, this Constitution has undergone seventeen amendments. Aconsiderable number of liberalization and democratization packages to the constitution were made during the last eight years of Justiceand Development Party (Adalet ve Kalk􀃕nma Partisi: AKP ) With the electoral victory of the AKP on 12 June 2011, the process of theresolution for Turkey’s chronic “constitutional problem†took a new pace. As its third term has started, the AKP stated that Turkeyneeded an entirely new constitution and this would be done in a constitution making process, where all segments of the politicalspectrum would be represented. This presentation aims to explore the question of constitution making considering the most recentdevelopments and debates surrounding the present Constitution of Turkey. For this, we will first consider the question of constitutionmaking in terms of constitutional law, as well as political science. Then we will go on to explore the major legal and political problems inthis framework.]]>

<![CDATA[The paper analyses the intersections of religion, race and gender from a legal perspective. Existing legal scholarship in thisarea has provided a number of accounts, reporting mainly from European jurisdictions, as well as from the jurisprudence of theEuropean Court of Human Rights. The aim of this paper is to first explain how law has contributed to the exclusion of individuals linked toa specific religion, race and gender. Examples of religious discrimination claims highlight particular detriment experienced mostly, but notexclusively, by religious and ethnic minority women in the majority of jurisdictions. These instances reflect that religion is more often thannot the main or sole focal point in court or legislation, whereas the deliberate or accidental effect on women and/or ethnic minorities isconveniently ignored. In its second part, the paper will then move on to elaborating potential solutions for such undesirable outcomes oflaw. The available legal solutions entail various advantages and disadvantages, however, a model of ‘reasonable accommodation’ willbe proposed as the preferable answer at this point in time. Nevertheless, the paper also provides reasons for complementing legalsolutions with non-enforceable measures, such as the facilitation of interfaith dialogue and the raising of awareness of equality anddiversity.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper identifies and addresses the important factors underlying of the bailiff office in Albania and changes in the form oforganization, under the administrative and implementing reforms in law. The paper also introduces with the changes in national law,private or state organizational form. The Bailiff Section in Albania serves two key roles as part of the Judiciary. Both roles help to ensurethat justice is fairly administered and carried to its proper conclusion. The Bailiffs and their assistants serve summonses and otherimportant legal documents on parties as required by a Court or Tribunal, or as requested by a person who is a party to litigation, forexample, a court or tribunal hearing which parties are required to attend clearly cannot proceed unless there is proof that the partiesconcerned have had the summonses to attend properly served on them in a manner specified by law. The judicial power is one of theimportant part of the legal state. As stated in the Albanian constitution, one basic principle is: equality and control between governments.Our paper research will analyze the justice reforms in Albania; will analyze bailiff organizational management (private or state form).Keywords: Justice legislation , bailiff private and state services, changes in administrative services, bailiff law.]]>

<![CDATA[Human rights are defined as those rights which are fundamental to our nature and without them we cannot live as humanbeings. This article is focused on the European Convention of Human Rights as a very important international treaty. The effectivemachinery of European Convention of Human Rights, in an unique and unprecedented way has provided its data regularly to solveindividual requirements and also in the overall impact on international law and practice. The article is compiled in two parts: the center ofthe first part is the European Convention of Human Rights in chronological flow and the second part is a detailed treatment of ProtocolNo. 14. The European Convention on Human Rights has always been a dynamic act, reflecting the needs of time. Proof of suchdynamism is the large number of protocols that have entered into force and continuous improvements.The purpose of Protocol No. 14was to extend the effectiveness of the Court to act and short proceedings.]]>

<![CDATA[Illegal migration to Turin (one of the biggest industrial centres of Northern Italy) is related to the masculine collective idealamong minors and young migrants from Khouribga (Chaouia-Ouardigha, Morocco). This contribution will assess the impact of Italianlegal protection’s system of undocumented minors and securitization policy on their lives. By a long process leading to ‘PacchettoSicurezza’ in 2009 (a set of legislative measures aimed at controlling migrant’s flows across Italian external/internal borders) illegalmigration has become a criminal offence, a sort of ‘moral death’ normalized by media and technocratic services. This legal exclusion hasbecome a social experience in migrant daily life. My ethnographic data were collected from 2003 to 2009 in the assistance centre forminor undocumented migrants, which in 2003 Turin municipality opened up in Porta Palazzo, an historical migration neighborhood withthe largest open market in Europe. Here, I worked as a social operator in a multidisciplinary team (socio-anthropological and ethnopsychiatric)and I met young Moroccan migrants, mostly under age, refuting Municipality dorms and living in occupied houses, garagesor illegally rented houses and prison as well. This allowed me to get acquainted with their suffered trajectories among differentinstitutions and with their strategies to counter the legal criteria fixing the status of both undocumented migrants and minors. It is byfollowing these subtleties and the ways they were manipulated by social workers and young migrants alike, that I will try to describe thesubjective and material frontiers and the associated marginalities in this border-town context.]]>

<![CDATA[At the beginning of the Crimean War, the Holy See played a major role in the international policy debate. The Pope Pius IXtook an ambiguous policy by putting pressure on the continental powers to declare war against the Orthodox Russian Empire of NicholasI, but at the same time he didn’t want that Austria took part in the war.The apparent contradictory papal policy hides a coherent project:defeating Russian Empire, its expansionism and asserts the Roman’s superiority over the orthodox faith, but at the same time Austriamust not act because Vienna is the order’s guarantor in Italian peninsula. If Austrian Emperor goes to war, he’ll remove his men from theLombard-Venetian front sending them to the east and, especially, this situation can be an opportunity for the Kingdom of Sardinia’sexpansionism or for Italian revolutionaries to destabilize the peninsula and also Holy See’s territorial integrity. This is the position of thepontifical diplomacy at the beginning of the War.]]>

<![CDATA[This research is aimed to analyze the perception of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 and its consequences for Russianand Japanese public opinion and research. During the study it proved out that the cultural differences, mutual misunderstandings, andwrong interpretation of each other’s intentions could lead to unresolvable deadlocks, which affect political, economical and culturalrelations. Besides, the interpretations of this conflict by officials and its vision by common people have a great impact on the outcome ofthe war and are also subject of this study. Finally, this research focuses on the territorial issue, which has been dominating the Russo-Japanese relations for centuries and continues to block any attempts of rapprochement on political and in many cases on economicallevels.]]>
