Palmyra Fiber as Additional Materials on Solid Concrete Brick of Aggregate
ISSN : 20399340     EISSN : 20392117     DOI : 10.36941/mjss
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

In the framework of International Relations of the Cold War, after the break with the Soviet Union in 1961, the direction of theAlbanian foreign policy entered in a new stage, making a very pragmatic choice toward remote Communist China. The generous help ofthe PRC, by loans or grants, was a very suitable solution to survive for Peoples Republic of Albania. This help was paid back with theinvolvement and commitment of the Albanian diplomacy as a representative for the PRC in OUN. The Albanian diplomacy during 1960-1970, a period of a very good cooperation with China, was fully concentrated to a single goal–The admission of Peoples Republic ofChina in OUN. The debate on re-establishment of the legal rights of PRC on OUN, according to Albanian diplomacy, was itself a harshaccuse for the US policy against China. This diplomatic activity of the Albanian mission, leaded by official Tirana, coordinated withBeijing, started its activity with the proposal of 1963 to set in the daily agenda the issue of PRC admission in OUN, presented in the XVIIIsession of the General Assembly of OUN. But how would this proposal be expected and in what extend would it be influent in theAlbanian diplomatic mission up to 1971!

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain, in a clear and concise way, how the EU’s enlargement policy is affecting westernBalkans countries. It aims to give an overview of how the EU strategy has grown since this idea is created. Where it stands today afterhaving undergone its most important round of enlargement and what the perspective of accepting new members in the future is. Theproposed paper examines how is proceeding EU with its next enlargement round in the conditions of so called “enlargement fatigue” thathas gripped the European Union, with the global financial and economic crisis drawing much attention away from the Balkans accessionissue. And in the other hand, as a result of this if inhabitants of the Western Balkans are becoming increasingly aware that enlargementis no longer fashionable in the EU. The paper discusses about the fact that EU member states should strongly reaffirm their Thessalonikicommitment, and so even further by giving their support to EU accession proposals for the western Balkans in the European Council.Furthermore it addresses the problem of the completion of the process in the region, the commitment of the EU in the front of theBalkans European future, the major challenges that have to affront both of them, the problems in the European home, and the duties ofWestern Balkans countries.Despite a number of unresolved issues in the region, one can see a new spirit of rapprochement and genuinecooperation in the Western Balkans enlargement is a strategic policy decision of the European Union. Elaborating the advancementmeasures to sustain the current rapprochement policy over the period ahead is a priority. The moment must be seized and the trendmust be translated into an irreversible process. This is where South-East Europe and the European Union could find a true new agenda.

Abstract

The aim of my contribution is to examine the relationship between Grounded Theory Methods and the epistemologyconcerning with the Philosophy of science. In a grounded theory approach the theory is strictly linked to practice because the elementsthat constitute the process of knowledge are not considered as things in themselves, but as discovered from the data along all stagesof research.The Grounded Theory methodology is described as having certain specific characteristics and procedures that separate thismethodologies from the others. This article set Glaserian grounded approach in a context where the methodologies are not orthodoxin the first place.

Abstract

Are the natural, social and vital phenomena contingent random realities or universally destined? How do we orientate in thecourse of these phenomena and how can we modify them? How do we distinguish between necessary and contingent objects?I will tryto answer these questions basing on the reflections of some philosophers who have addressed these issues, especially to the polishphilosopher Jen Lukasiewicz, who strongly defends indeterminism by considering it as the metaphysic outcome of modal logic, and thefree human will to act. Since the beginning of the first experience, man found himself in a diverse world with objects and involved in itsphenomena. From the beginning he requires the objects that he will assimilate. The objects become vital and necessary from indifferentand contingent: assimilation, curiosity, joy and passion objects. Natural and social events arise in their natural state, and this simplicity isconsidered as necessity by the determinists. Acceptance of universal determinism means denial of free will to act, modify and transformthe world. This view is strongly criticized by the aforementioned philosopher Jan Lukasiewicz. According to him, these phenomenaactually arise in their natural state but man is putted in situations that he has to prefer or despise, to choose ore avoid. This choice oravoidance requires free will to act and analyzing skills. In this way one modifies even a little bit the course of events. One can notpassively wait for the worse or the best, but at the same time, claiming for radical change of course of events, mainly the social reality,can lead to serious consequences for themselves and for the society. These issues will be addressed in this article.

Abstract

Article we present, aims to present an aspect of local history of Elbasan region or neighborhood, in the '20s-30s of thetwentieth century, peasant struggle for land, as one of the main directions of social conflict in this period, not only in the prefecture, butnationwide. This war not only aimed at resolving the land ownership right, but simultaneously improving the economic status ofpeasants, through easing the tax burden. To realize these goals in such a motion also included rural layers of Elbasan Prefecture, whosewar took more the character of an economic war, given the difficult situation that characterize this layer and poor rural schools, especiallythe remote areas and state fiscal policy seriously. Through archival sources, in this article we try to analyze the reasons that promptedsuch a move, the development of its format, the connection with labor movements and their consequences in this region and beyond.

This research is about the decentralization of social service in Albanian post communism, diversifying responsibilities, andresources through democratic institutions for integrity and Social Piece. Surveillances, Consultations, Interviews investigates relationshipbetween decentralization-centralization, public pressure for identity and indicatives of social exigency, diversity and high standards, factsand expectations in the representation map – “governance hither civil”, welfare up growth, and protection of interested persons for fiscaltransfers of institutional budget. Politicize in social service conditions not coordinated and not consolidated evince the complexity of“decentralization- centralized oversight” irregularity and management of earning subsidy, effective public section, budget limitation forassured development. This studding brings the relationship of Decentralization with fineness governance, public orientation probable nonstability, short terms determines, long terms objectives, institutional partnered, planning agency without hierarchy, alternative ways thatwould be faced and tested according scientific criteria. The research includes the premise that decentralization favorites the marked ofpublic benefits, competition, denationalize, improvement of social politics against deepening polarization, hooking the elites, virtualduality of “rich – poor”.

Abstract

The main focus of the analysis will be the migration policies within the EU, the free movement principles and restrictions thatmay be imposed to individuals by presenting an overview of the readmission policies in contemporary Europe and the effect that theybring to the field of migration, the international obligations of states and international acts to which they rely. a special attention in thispaper is paid to the analysis of the Albanian legal framework and its attitudes toward the phenomenon of migration and free movementof persons. States have the right and the duty to control migration. But in doing so they must keep reminding their citizens on why atleast some immigrants are needed and should be welcomed, and, true to Europe’s humane values, they must respect the fundamentalrights that belong to every human being, independently of their nationality, religious believe and socio-economic and culturalbackground. A specific focus in the paper will also be paid to the implementation of EU visa liberalization agreement with Albania, theissue of asylum seekers, as well as addressing the problems that serve as their motivation, aiming at the conclusion that being aEuropean citizen means being a member of a community based on full enjoyment of individual rights, as well as tolerance, mutualrespect and acceptance of diversity. It also means accepting certain obligations in respect of others, complying with the rules ofdemocracy and contributing to the development of a fair and cohesive society.

Abstract

The war of 2001 in Macedonia drew the attention of all governments and diplomacies of the superpowers of the world andalso raised curiosity of many political and military analysts and researchers who wrote about Modern and Contemporary Balkanhistory. But it seems that the journalists from the powerful countries of the world in which global politics are created, show interest tofollow the tragic events in Macedonia during 2001, war between Macedonian Army and Police forces against National Liberation Army -NLA (of Albanians). U.S. and UK in particular and the European Union were generally engaged in Macedonia politically and militarythroughout the fighting. Also British journalists and media were seriously interested from both printed and electronic ones who did notdelay and arrived at the scene immediately after this "Oasis of Peace" was blurred. Reports and journalistic writings in the UKundoubtedly play an important role to inform both the public and the state leadership that they will build a political concept on events thattook place in this part of Europe, therefore we know that in democracies of these countries the "public opinion" plays an important role.These materials are collected from important daily newspapers such as : The Times; The Independent; The Guardian; The DailyTelegraph; The Finacial Times; The Mirror; The Evening Standard etc.

Abstract

Albania's communist system coincides with the years 1944-1990.Albanian Communist Party victory of 1944 until the year1948 was oriented entirely toward Yugoslavia. It got away from the chauvinist policies of its malicious, closely related to the SovietUnion. To keep the "pure Marxist-Leninist line," PPSH broke with the Soviet Union in November 1961. The need for economicassistance and support in the field of foreign policy, the official Tirana looked forward China. The last one was considered as the mainally of our country, who supported the line of Marxism-Leninism. Although still early, a new wind of change was observed in theAlbanian-Chinese friendship. In early 1973 there is a deepening of the differences between the two allies. Relations with the SovietUnion continue to be tense and are slightly tempered by the socialist camp countries, friendly relations are Romania, Bulgaria, andHungary despite some ideological differences. We noticed the Balkan, a spirit of cooperation aiming easier and better neighborhood withYugoslavia and Greece. In this period, the communist government of West rejects demands for openness and collaboration by standingfirm in her line. Albania is not stopped short of linking diplomatic relations with several countries, mainly second-hand in the internationalarena.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to argue that if Europeans wish to become a real Union they should pay more attention to the ethicaland aesthetical values that are deep in the roots of our ancient continent, starting from the mythology. At the very heart of the myth -based story of Europe we find the dynamism of the transformation of our continent, full of beauty, charm, violence, regeneration andhybridization.The story of the „Myth of Europe“ should arouse in us the awareness that first and foremost the European race representsa social unity rather than a racial one. While talking about the “mythical Europe“, the dichotomies taken into account aim at stressing thefact that a single united Europe, within the today’s geopolitical reality, could be founded less on biological and natural factors and in ahigher degree on the living memory, the shared hopes and sufferings, as well as on the self-criticism towards excessive pride and mostof all on the memory of the common myths. Only by recuperating “the defiance of the common symbols” we could claim our belonging toa Community.
