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

The purpose of advertising is to make sure that people know about the range of products and services that areavailable on the market. It is the interest of the manufacturers and retailers to make as many consumers as possible aware oftheir products or services. But, it is important to ensure that ads meet certain standards, particularly relating legal and ethicalrequirements, because consumers do not always have sufficient knowledge to decipher the messages in advertising, to detectthe exaggerations or the possible frauds. They, therefore, need to be protected from the incorrect or misleading ads. Advertisingcan encourage the people to over - consume, which is bad for the consumers’ wallet, for the environment and for the sustainabledevelopment. But, if the deceptive and subliminal advertising may harm the security of the children, it means that urgentmeasures must be taken to protect this special social class.

Abstract

Study habit was investigated as a predictor of students’ examination behaviour. The sample consisted of 1290 firstyear students in tertiary institutions in Delta State. Multiple Regression was used to analyze data collected with a study habitsand examination behaviour questionnaire. It was found that study habit was a significant predictor of examination behaviour andthat gender did not significantly moderate the prediction of examination behaviour by study habits. Therefore, it wasrecommended that educational practitioners especially counselors should use measures of students’ study habits as indicatorsof their disposition towards engaging in examination malpractices thereby administering proactive counselling on them beforethey sit for examinations. This could enhance the quality of college counselling in African schools because the level ofexamination malpractices may be drastically reduced.

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between employee characteristics and job performance in Bayelsa StateMinistry of Education. The characteristics under investigation were gender, age, educational level and experience. A descriptivedesign was adopted for the study. A sample size of 50 employees out of 221 members of staff representing 22.7% was randomlyselected for the study. A 14 item questionnaire titled “Employee Characteristics and Job Performance (ECJP) was developed tocollect data. The instrument was validated and a reliability coefficient of 0.79 was obtained using test-retest method. Fourhypotheses were used to guide the study and the null hypotheses were tested using the Chi-square statistical tool.

Abstract

Colonialism and education has been identified as instruments used by European powers to dominate and subjugatethird world countries and Africa in particular. Colonialism is the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control overanother country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. It was a response to the economic needs of industrialcapitalist Europe who desire colonies in order to have access to raw materials of the colonies, to have markets for sale ofmanufactured goods of the home country and field for the investment of surplus capital. Colonialism ravaged Africa like wild firewith disastrous consequences and the instrument used for that purpose is education. This same education was later used as aweapon to fight colonialism. This paper is therefore to explore why and how colonialism was imposed on African nations andhow education was used as a two-edged sword for the propagation and abolition of colonialism. “To know the present we mustlook into the past and to know the future, we must look into the past and present.”

Abstract

Ethiopia, is a country characterized by a wide range of climate and ecological conditions, possesses enormousdiversity of fauna and flora. Semi-structured interviewees, observation and guided field walks with informants were employed toobtain ethnobotanical data in Gindeberet district, western Ethiopia. A total of 120 informants (84 males and 36 females) wereselected purposefully from six sub districts. A total of 26 species of medicinal plants were collected and identified for treating 36human ailments. The medicinal plant preparations were administered through oral, dermal and nasal routes. Oral application (33preparations, 67.3%) was the highest and most commonly used route of application followed by dermal application (15preparations, 30.6%). The most commonly used plant parts for herbal preparations were leaves (28%) and roots (28%) followedby barks (14%) and fruits (14%). Gindeberet district is rich in its medicinal plant composition and the associated indigenousknowledge. Encouraging the local herbal medicinal practitioners to enhance the use of traditional medicine and licensing thework of the practitioners are recommended.

Abstract

The variance between teachers’ approach to essay writing and the examiners’ expectation has greatly affected theperformance of the candidates. This is because the candidates go to examination in search of expository, argumentative,narrative, descriptive essays and others, while the examiner marks them on content, organization, expression and mechanicalaccuracy. This paper calls on the teachers of English to teach the candidates according to the expectations of the examiners,especially on how to effectively use the styles of expository, argumentative, narrative, descriptive and others, to explicate thecontent, organization, expression and mechanical accuracy as required by the examiners in essay writing.
