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

Known as Algeria’s most prominent woman novelist, Assia Djebar has successfully brought to the forefront issues of a feministnature all the while keeping her texts immersed within the discourse of nationalism. Djebar’s novels exhibit a multitude of femalepersonalities and experiences that defeat all attempts at fixating women into objects of textual representation. This paper aims atpresenting Djebar’s novels as counter narratives to the phallocentric constructions of the female figure as lack and Orientalistimplications of the feminine as marginal and inconsequential through the use of feminist and postcolonial approaches. By analyzing themulti-faceted accounts of women in Fantasia and Women of Algiers in Their Apartment, this paper seeks to replace old notions of astagnant female subject with one where women are vibrant figures of resistance, agency and change. It is mainly through the languageof the body as exemplified in the sound, gesture and ‘gaze’ that Djebar gives women a chance to be ‘visible,’ to represent themselvesand to speak with a voice that is unique and singular in its diversity from the norm, yet plural and multi-dimensional in its functionality androle.

Abstract

The fierce competition among multinationals to reduce cost has forced many organisations to shift their non core operations tolow cost and high quality destinations like India. This has resulted in exponential growth in the number of business process outsourcingcentres in India. It mainly deals with customer interaction services, human resources, data search/integration etc. under the aegis ofBusiness Process Outsourcing (BPO).The employees work in prolonged shifts round the clock. To provide real-time services to globalcustomers they have to compromise with their own biological clock. Consequently they become easy prey to various psychophysiologicalailments. Researches have revealed that psychological stress and its physiological symptoms are the most commonproblems amongst call-centre executives (Luce &amp; Juravich, 2002).Occupational Role Stress Scale (Pareek, 1983) will be used to find thelevel of role stress among the call centre employees. Student’s t-test will be used for analysis purpose. The study is expected to identifystress related issues being faced by call centre employees.

Abstract

We conducted a survey (n = 436) regarding consumer´s choice of sustainable transportation, toward a A survey wasconducted at the University of Granada (Spain) from May through August 2011, related to a system of bikes´ rental that has beenrecently introduced in the university community and whose expectations include its extension to the rest of the city of Granada. Thequestionnaire included items concerning attitude related to the behavior, individual´s perceived control, subjective norms and personalmoral norms, variables used in the Theory of Reasoned Action from Fishbein and Ajzen (1975), the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen&amp; Madden, 1986) and the Norm-Activation Theory (Schwartz, 1977). The main objective of this study was to examine those factors thatcould affect the transport choice behavior of consumers toward more sustainable energy consumption patterns, meaning the decision touse (or not to use) the bikes´ rental system by the university community. The results corroborate the hypothesis tested, and positivecorrelations between the variables and the behavioral intention.

Abstract

The European model of agriculture relies on the middle, usually typically family, farm. Romania does not fit this model, havingan unsuitable agricultural structure for a modern European state. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the differences between theEuropean model of agriculture and the Romanian agriculture. In Romania, the subsistence agriculture (many micro-farms, producing forself-consumption) and the agro-industrial agriculture (farms of hundreds even thousands of hectares, market oriented, relativelyadvanced), give a dual character to this important economic branch. The middle level agriculture is underdeveloped and uses only asmall percent of the agricultural area. The research method is the analysis of data; the study of the real convergence between theRomanian and the European Union’s agriculture implies a SWOT analysis.The main results reveal that the reform in the Romanianagriculture should include, among its priorities, the solving of the structural problem of the Romanian village, the development of themiddle level agriculture being an important aim. The implementation of the community regulations has to be accompanied by owndevelopment programs for the rural space and for the agro-food sector. Romania has to define its own strategy in order to be integratedin the community policy, strategy which must be sustained in the debates regarding the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, thetarget being the development of the Romanian agriculture.

Abstract

Who really pays attention to poetry, philosophy, painting or other art form? We rather seek for what is immediately needed orquickly consumable, what doesn't bother nor disturb us. Emotions and cultural products are strongly linked. But the perception of artdepends on how it impresses us. Art can confront us with a reality. In a civilization dominated by images, through the media, advertisingand virtual worlds, art, like life and death, is rarely valued. We approached on this study, the way in which college students - of bothsexes, from courses of management, history and psychology - interpreted the image/painting ‘Paradise: Ascent of the Blessed’, fromHieronymus Bosch, which alludes to death and beyond-death. We analyzed the thoughts, feelings, images and symbols that emergedfrom their answers, through open questions, after seeing the image/painting. Men revealed security, like they were watching forsomething they see as controllable and far away from them. Women expressed an active emotional involvement, as well as fear, beliefin God and hope in finding a path through the darkness, revealing an intense feeling of proximity before death and immortality. Studentsof psychology, in particular, revealed a more emotional reaction to the image/death, than the future historians. The conceptions of thefirst ones are closer to the women's perspectives, while the others resemble those of men. This work invited us to reflect aboutourselves, the power of images, death, and on what lies beyond death and life.

Abstract

After more than a century we continue to discuss about the great pioneer of the Arabic literature. Na􀃷􀆯b Ma􀙁f􀇌􀚩 identified bysome critics “The prince of the Arabic novel”, by others “The father of realism” and “Son of the Egyptian Land”. Actually, I’d prefer,specially at this time, if we call him “The Arabic literature ambassador”: his talent, dedication, intelligence and his strong belongingemotion to the alleys of the Old Islamic Cairo have led him to the whole world. But if Ma􀙁f􀇌􀚩 has arrived to the globalism obtaining theNobel 1988, it would be unfair overlook the efforts the his ancestors or ignore the new generation of Arab writers. In other words, I thinkthat Ma􀙁f􀇌􀚩 is to be considered the “beginning” not the “end” of a new reciprocal estimation between the Arabic and the other literatures.With “Beginning and end” Ma􀙁f􀇌􀚩 has discovered the way to compose his most great Trilogy: according to some critics “Beginning andend” is well thought-out the prehistory of his magnum opus.

Abstract

In this study, anchored in the theory of social representations, we intended to ascertain the existence of risk-taking and selfharmbehaviours, as well as situations of imminent death, in a population of adolescents (boys and girls between 15 and 19). It was alsoour aim to understand how these behaviours might be associated to the social representations of life, death and to musical preferences.Our findings indicate that boys are the ones who tend to find themselves more often engaged in all of the three forms of endangerbehaviours. It is also among the adolescents between 17 and 19 years old that these situations are more common. A preference forfeminine pop is associated to self-harm behaviour and classic pop is linked to risk behaviour. Personal fulfilment seems to be thegreatest indicator of both risk behaviour and self harm: the lower the perception of fulfilment, the greater the chance to adopt these kindof behaviours. Results also support that negative perceptions of well-being, and love for life are linked to risk and self harm behaviours,mainly in girls. Adolescents who shown risk behaviours represented death as a ritual and so did girls who had already found themselveson the verge of dying.

Abstract

Mediterranean islands heavily depend on tourism as their main economic resources. This development path has taken overfrom a poorly industrialized, agricultural society, and has insured economic integration to these islands. However, Mediterranean insularregions still suffer from a number of developmental issues leading to economic retardation vis-à-vis continental regions. Tourism hasstrengthened their peripheral status. Hainan, an insular province of China has experienced a similar situation. However, although tourismstill remains a major economic resource for Hainan, new policies have been implemented to diversify the local economy and developinnovation-led activities on the island. Traditionally, peripheral regions are not considered as innovative regions because of severalobstacles (e.g.: remoteness, social particularisms) (Soete, 1997). To be efficient, innovative policies should not only support technologyand research, but also other economic aspects of the innovation process (Landabaso, 2003). Does it mean that decentralization isrequired to transform peripheral islands into innovative society? Or is the central government more likely to implement innovativepolicies? This paper will attempt to explore the several paths followed by Hainan to develop innovation, draw the limits of this policy, andquestion whether or not similar measures may be adopted by Mediterranean islands. The author argues that development of a privatesector is the key factor for innovation in insular territories.

Abstract

The present interdisciplinary research attempt proposes, by appealing to the usage of a diachronic and hermeneutical grid, tohighlight and to stance the conceptual-axiomatic instrumentation pertaining to the Romanian post-communist foreign policy, portraying,synthetically and thoroughly, the trinomial doctrine, consubstantial to the entire foreign policy strategy outlined at the governmental level.Within such a referential optics, we intend to punctually present, without claiming to be exhaustive, the trilateral format crystallized in theinternational relations spectrum, revealing the peremptory characteristics specific to the ,,openness to the world dictum “, the ,,concentriccircles doctrine” and the ,,axis policy via Washington-London-Bucharest”. Synthetically, the trinomial instrumentation advocates forRomania’s legitimacy, representativeness, ubiquity in the external dimension, propelling it on the decisional arena of the internationalcommunity. The novelty element that the paper proposes lies in the insertion of a distinct methodology based on a psycho-cognitiveapproach, having as a unit of analysis the sum of beliefs, perceptions, axiological and normative codes in shaping preferences, optionsand foreign policy decisions. Integrally, the paper is configured as a diachronic and radiographic incursion at the level of Romania’sexternal trajectory, revealing a distinguished conduct imprinted by the complexity and substance of a trinomial instrumentation.
