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.

Abstract

During the last two decades, the perceived rise of Asian powers has led to a gradual shift in the academic view of thedevelopment of humanity from one of Westernisation to one of globalisation. Concurrently, students of civilisations re-started afresh theirongoing debate how and to what extent different cultures in the world influence each other. Many political scientists believe that there iseither already an end to inter-civilisational conflicts and the victory of the West is complete, or that there are intrinsic, insuperabledifferences between world cultures; scholars of historical sociology, on the other hand, advocate a less radical, but perhaps morecompelling model: one of inter-civilisational encounters, where civilisations in the course of history managed to adopt an idea comingfrom outside their cultural sphere, adapt it and assimilate it into their own ideology. From a historical-sociological perspective, drawing onthe Weberian strand of the current debate, the presented paper focuses on the transformation of political partisanship in ancient,medieval, early modern and modern civilisations. It proposes that general characteristics of party systems may be found in predemocraticperiods from which they developed into modern democratic politics. Moreover, it wants to assess the impact that non-Western societies have had in the 20th century on the global image of a political party. In conclusion, it argues for a notion ofamalgamation of ideas in today’s political partisanship in place of a one-sided theory of Westernisation.

Abstract

Rome expanded across the Mediterranean and grew into a huge, diverse empire. By the end of the fourth century B.C.E.Rome was already the dominant power on the Italian Peninsula. For five centuries thereafter Rome’s power steadily increased. Rome’sdestruction of the powerful North African City of Carthage united the entire Mediterranean world and made the Mediterranean itself a“Roman Lake”. Rome began as a small city state in Italy. The Romans were an Indo-European people who settled along the Tiber Riverin small villages. Their neighbors, the Etruscans, ruled much of central Italy, including Rome. After the Romans threw out the hatedEtruscan king in 509 B.C., they resolved never to be ruled by a monarch again. Instead they set up a republic, a government in whichofficials are chosen by the people. At first, the most powerful people in government were Patricians, or members of the landholdingupper class. Eventually, commoners, or Plebeians were also elected to the Roman Senate. Military victories put the Romans in control ofbusy trade routes. Incredible riches flooded into Rome faced and this causes a series of civil wars. Eventually, a powerful Romangeneral named Augustus restored order. Under Augustus, who ruled from 31 B.C to A.D.14, the 500 year old republic came to an end. Anew age dawned – the age of the Roman Empire. Augustus laid the foundation for a stable government and undertook economicreforms. The 200 years span that began with Augustus ended with emperor Marcus Aurelius. It is Known as the Pax Romana, or“Roman Peace”. During the time, Roman emperors brought peace, order, unity and prosperity to the lands under their control. Romeacted as a bridge between the east and the west by borrowing and transforming Greek and Hellenistic achievements to produce Greco-Roman Civilization. The Romans greatly admired Greek culture. They took Greek ideas and adapted them in their own ways. Romansculptors, for instance, used the Greek idea of realism to reveal an individual’s character in each stone portrait. Probably the greatestlegacy of Rome was its commitment to the rule of law and to justice. These shape western civilization today. After the death of theemperor Marcus Aurelius in A.D.180, turmoil rocked the Roman Empire split into two parts, east and west, each with its own ruler in thewest. The foreign invaders marched into Italy and, in 476, took over Rome itself. But the Roman Empire did not disappear from the map.The eastern Roman Empire prospered under the emperor Constantine. In time, the eastern Roman Empire became known asByzantium. It lasted for another 1,000 years. The article discussed on overall Roman Civilization – the rise and fall of Roman Empire withits political changes and the prosperity of Romans during their rule.

Abstract

This paper presents a study of short temporal adverbials in English and Macedonian. It includes their semantic, morphologicaland syntactic (sentence position) description. The study and the findings are corpus based, whereas the corpus is composed ofMacedonian literary texts translated by native English speakers. The findings aim at presenting: a) the semantic complexities ofMacedonian temporal adverbs through the usage of English as meta-language, b) the morphological and phrasal forms within whichthese short adverbs occur, and c) the differences/similarities in occupying sentence positions. The study should aid languageprofessionals of different profiles in both, English and Macedonian (theoretical linguists, language teachers, translators, etc.).

Abstract

In Albania live together many ethnical groups and one of them is Roma ethnical group. The main focus in this article is theidentification of cultural differences in school success. The data in this study are collected through naturalistic observation and survey. Itis observed that Roma students have lower success in school than Albanian students. I have studied this phenomenon extensively andhave come up with some explanations. When Albanian students enter school, they enter ready – academically, socially, and emotionally– to learn in the school environment. Their parents have read to them since they were infants, so books are familiar friends. They havehad experiences sharing toys with other children and have been trained how to handle conflicts in a nonaggressive manner. Not so formany Roma students, who came from a different culture – the culture of the streets. Their parents are forced to prepare them to survivelife on the street of the city, rather than to read and write in a classroom. They may not even have seen a picture book before, much lesslistened as someone read to them. They may never had a chance how to work cooperatively with others or share – they may not havehad many toys to share.

Abstract

Credit cards have become an important part of everyday life without which lot of people can not imagine their life. The aim ofthis paper is to reveal the demographic, socio-economic and behavioral differences in credit cards attitudes in Macedonia. First, attitudestoward payment cards were examined by employing factor analysis. The reliability of the scale was examined using the Cronbach’ alpha.The respondents were administered the 12-item version of the credit card attitude scale and asked questions regarding theirdemographic, socio-economic and behavioral characteristics. ANOVA test was used to reveal the gender and age (demographic)differences, income and household type (socio-economic) differences and behavioral (number of credit cards owned, period ofownership, payment of balance and usage frequency) differences in components of credit cards attitudes. The results of factor analysisidentified three subscales of short credit card attitude scales while ANOVA showed significant gender and frequency of use differenceson all three credit cards attitude components, whereas other demographic, socio-economic and behavioral factors showed significantdifferences on some of the components of the attitudes toward credit cards. Recommendations presented in this research may fostergrowth of Macedonian credit card usage and help banks, financial and non-financial institutions in designing their marketing strategies.

Abstract

Energy security is one of the key challenges confronting the nations all around the globe. Diversification of imports in terms ofsources, route, resources and technologies has been an important policy tool to advance energy security further. Geographically locatedin close proximity to fossil fuel rich regions, Turkey has connected itself to producer countries via several pipelines with the aim ofbecoming a transit hub. At the same time, however, Turkey became increasingly dependent to foreign imports, reaching 70 per cent. Asa result, Turkey moved towards nuclear energy and signed a deal with Russia to build its first nuclear power plant. The recent globaladvances in nuclear power generation enhanced the importance of nuclear power in bridging the energy gap in Turkey. Nuclear energyis currently enjoying enormous interest internationally, and particularly in Turkey, due to a combination of factors such as increasing fuelprices, diminishing resources of the fossil fuels, and environmental problems. On the other hand, by signing a deal with Russia, whichalready provides a significant amount of Turkey’s imported energy, creates dangers of over-dependence on its neighbor. Moreover,there is a greater awareness of safety problems related to nuclear power plants after the recent incident in Japan, together withenvironmental concerns related to nuclear waste management, potentially threatening human security. Therefore, this article analysesTurkey’s nuclear energy interests and discusses in detail the advantages and disadvantages of enhancing the role of nuclear power forTurkey’s energy needs.

Abstract

Translation quality assessment is one of the areas that need more attention on the part of the assessor. Since, it needs boththeory of translation on the one hand, and proficiency and competency as a translator, on the other hand, on the part of the translationassessor.Translation within the fields of medical sciences has not got its proper focus of attention. The nature of medical texts demandstransfer of information. However, from vocabulary and grammatical prospects, sometimes great pitfalls are seen. The present study triesto investigate the general knowledge of language in medical texts translation.The present study has applied Baker's (1988) Taxonomy ofgrammar and vocabulary model within the medical texts to show the ability and art of the translator in compare with the translation ofmedicine.

Abstract

In our society, in our environment and right in front of us are occurring different social, cultural and economical movements,which, considered from professional and scientific point of view, impose a real commitment. In these conditions adults are facing a lot ofchallenges and they return to school to confront these challenges. They want to learn and get the best of this process. But what is thelearning environment condition that is created in classrooms, for adult students? What are the physical conditions in which all thelearning activities take place? The main aim of this paper is to present some of the opinions of the adult students in Korça and ElbasanUniversities that are pursuing their part-time studies, regarding learning environment conditions, where their learning activities takeplace. To analyze the data for this paper are used only the quantitative methods. The sample is adult students that are frequenting parttime study in Korça and Elbasan University. To select the sample from the whole population is used the stage sampling. For gatheringdata are used interviews. The analysis of data has been carried out according to normal statistical methods. In summary, the adultstudents want to learn, but the level of the learning environment condition, which is created in the classrooms, is under the average level.From adult learners’ reports, they emphasise that the institutions should guarantee better accommodation conditions for teaching andlearning activities. Furthermore, lecturers should use more often techniques and methodology that ensure not only engendering thecognitive competences, but also motivate adult students toward learning.

Abstract

The human activity is considered as the main reason for the damage of the lake ecosystem stability. Shkodra Lake isecologically characterized by a high stability. Clean water and high productivity are considered as potential health factors of this Lake.This ecosystem is one of the most preserved wetlands of the Mediterranean. However, the unfavorable global factors and human activityhave a dangerous impact on the ecosystem. The damage of the lake water regime causes oscillations, which lead to disorders for thehabitats and ecosystem, creating concerns to the life of populated areas. Contamination from decomposing organic matter degrades theecosystem in a trophic unrecoverable situation. Destruction of forests around watershed, failure to have anticorrosive measures andwastewater discharges are essential for the growth of solid flows affecting the eutrophism of the lake. Shkodra Lake can’t support thesedifficult situations by itself alone. It leads to water microbial contamination of beaches and increases people's concerns. Awarenessshould be raised to the public, decision making, and the population around it, in order to eliminate these risk factors. Crosscontamination with toxic substances penetrate the food chain of biota and end up accumulated up to the humans, causing life -threatening and deadly diseases. People should be aware and should take measures to eliminate discharges to ensure the standards oflake water and consuming resources. Long-term strategies and policies should be set up for developing the Lake region, with mainobjectives and measures of managing character. Natural ecosystem of Shkodra Lake and the urban ecosystem of Shkodra city willcoexist in a better way if harmony and integration of natural development and human activity will be achieved.

Abstract

In the period of 1999-2007 Russia’s development was characterized by rapid economic recovery, increased welfare ofcitizens, and formation of robust and stable political system. Actually the political competition was minimized at the federal level. Thiswas achieved both by means of forming new institutional framework for the political process and political competition, and through directstruggle of political actors. Visible political competition, political opposition, and political protest disappeared in many of regions of theRussian Federation. The Financial Crisis, which started in 2008, radically changed the economic situation in Russia. As a resultnumerous protests were organized in many towns and regions. Regional opposition political groups used actively the current criticalsituation for the political struggle. It is becoming more difficult for the officials, political parties loyal to the government, and actors of theregional political process to maneuver between the critical socio-economic situation and the necessity of displaying loyalty to federalruling elite.
