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

The study analyzed farm input productivity and estimated constant elasticity of substitution of fertilizer for manure forvegetable farmers in the southern region of Nigeria. Primary data obtained from four hundred and eighty vegetable farmers inUyo and Itu regions of the southern part of Nigeria were used in the study. A combination of analytical tools including descriptivestatistics (percentages, frequency and tables), and regression analysis were used for data analysis. The generalized constantelasticity of substitution function was specified and estimated through a system of coefficients relationship after which theconstant elasticity of substitution of fertilizer for manure for each crop enterprise was calculated. The empirical results revealed aconstant elasticity of substitution of fertilizer for manure of about 27.21% for waterleaf production and 35.11% for fluted pumpkinproduction in the region. The Cobb-Douglas production function for waterleaf production revealed that planting material, familylabor, fertilizer, manure, and water have significant influenced on waterleaf production; while the linear production function forfluted pumpkin production revealed that seed, hired labor, fertilizer, and manure have significant impact on the quantity of flutedpumpkin produced. The result also revealed that the utilization of all significant production inputs of the two crop enterpriseswere in the rational zone of the classical production surface. A mean total factor productivity of 45.60% and 45.59% wererealized for waterleaf and fluted pumpkin farms respectively in the region. The study however recommended that governmentshould increase fertilizer supply to vegetable farmer at a subsidized rate, intensify effort towards increasing research on manureproduction to adequately complement the use of fertilizer and make land more accessible to vegetable crop farmers in theregion. Also, farmers cooperative organizations should be encourage among vegetable farmers as this would make inputsacquisition less cumbersome.

Abstract

Job insecurity has become an important phenomenon that affects the job performance. This problem is prominent isworsened in the banking sector of Nigeria. This paper examined Job Insecuity amongst bank workers in ten (10) selected newand old generation banks in Nigeria. The study was anchored on Adam Smith’s Equity theory, utilized both qualitative andquantitative techniques to gather data from two hundred and sixty (260) respondents randomly selected from the ten banks.Findings from the study revealed that Findings from the study showed that 58.8% of the respondents agreed that unfavorablegovernment policy makes their future uncertain and 55.2% agreed that absence of trade unions make the future of their jobunprotected. Also, 39.8% of the respondents have intention to leave their present employer and 54.4% agreed that there is highlabour turnover in their respective organizations. From the bivariate analysis, there was significant relationship between oldgeneration banks and new generation banks on perception of level of job insecurity (X2c=15.475; p&lt;0.05; there was significantassociation between the age of respondents and perception on level of job insecurity (X2c=8.613; p&lt;0.05); and there was nosignificant association between respondents’ category of staff and perception on level of job insecurity (X2c=0.009; p&gt;0.05).Thepaper concluded that there is a high level of job insecurity among bank workers, especially those on contract appointment andrecommended : the need to harmonize the wage structure among both contract and permanent staff and to encourage tradeunionism in banks to protect the rights of workers

Abstract

Given the complicated transition in which post communist countries have been going through during their rapiddevelopment, it is important to make sure that concerns of the weakest part of these societies are taken into consideration andnot left on their own fate hidden in the chaotic transition process. This study is an evaluation of Albanian needy families’perceptions of the public Economic Aid program. Qualitative research was based on ten interviews of Economic Aid recipients,male and female baby boomers. They all had children. The findings showed a huge gap between the Economic Aid amount andtheir real expenses and needs. In most cases this gap was covered from black market jobs. Recipients felt extremely poor,inferior, hopeless, and concerned about surviving. The lack of trust in the Economic Aid program in specific and the governmentin general was due to perceived high level of corruption. We recommended a practical framework for restructuring the EconomicAid program in terms of the amount delivered, transparency, employment support, psychological assistance for both parents andchildren, and better medical coverage.

Abstract

In October 1914 the Ottoman Empire declared war on the Entente joining the Central Powers. Now the Turksthreatened Russia’s Caucasian provinces and the communications within the British Empire via the Suez Canal but the maincampaign of the Ottoman army would extend from southern Caucasus to eastern Asia Minor. Between 1914 and 1917 thesituation on this front was quite difficult for the Turks, only the collapse of the Russian forces would change this situation. InNovember 1917, a first government of an independent Transcaucasia was created in Tbilisi while the Ottomans aiming atcreating their own rule on southern Caucasus launched a new offensive toward Baku. The Russian Revolution and thecapitulation of the Central Powers, however, open the way to the rivalry between Caucasian nationalities which will be solvedonly with the arrival of the Soviet forces. Notwithstanding, the conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijani can not find adefinitive solution even if the Treaty of Kars restored at list a stable border between Kemalist Turkey and Bolshevik Russia.

Abstract

The aim of this research article is “developing the topic” which is being analyzed. The treated issues in this researcharticle, with constitutional – juridical thematic, lay and focus in analyzing the customs and the constitutional conventions assubsidiary sources of the constitutional law, as a branch of the law, it presents illustrative and concrete examples from thepractice of the comparative constitutional law. This article shows special interests, mainly and firstly, in the development oftheoretic and juridical – constitutional thought, and also treats professional and applicative issues. The juridical norms, if we usea figure of speech, are “the spinal cord” or “the essence” of the constitutional law as a branch of the law. As a matter of fact, thejuridical norms constitute the content of the constitutional law. The juridical norms that regulate the social relations, whichcompose the object of the constitutional law are called constitutional – juridical norms, and this is how they diverge from thejuridical norms that regulate other social relations, which on the other side, are included in other branches of the law (in theadministrative law, in the criminal law, in the civil law etc)1. The constitutional – juridical norms are juridical sui generis norms(norms of a special kind), that are “regulated or sanctioned by the state” for the juridical regulation of the social relations whichare created during the activity of the highest and most important organs of a given state.

Abstract

The economic crisis has had an influence on all aspects of life, from economic to social life, from national security togovernance, and from politics to sports. The consequences of the economic crisis of 2008 could shape the future of globalgovernance. Also, the appearance of new players in influencing and restructuring the global political system, such as private andstate-owned Transnational Corporations (TNCs), makes us rethink the ways in which we need to approach human developmentissues such as fighting corruption, supporting human rights and higher living standards, and maintaining good governancepractices worldwide. Thus, this article addresses the influence of the economic crisis of 2008 on formal and informal governance.The focus of this article is addressing the increasing of economic and political power of TNCs, especially state-owned TNCs, andtheir influence on the global political system. The conclusion reached is that International Organizations (IOs), civil societyorganizations, people, and even TNCs need to work together to reorganize the political scene with new international agreementsand IOs, because institutions and international agreements that initiated after WWII are not working affectively anymore.

Abstract

The study of the generic and rhetorical structure of the research article genres and sub-genres is of crucial importancein academic writing investigations. While the majority of such studies have mostly focused on articles written in English, theanalysis of the ‘moves’ in other languages might shed some light on cultural and linguistic variations in functional levels. Thepresent study investigated ten Persian and English Linguistics articles in terms of their moves in abstract and introduction parts.Analysis was conducted by incorporating Hyland’s (2000) Information-Purpose-Methods-Products-Conclusion (IPuMPrC) modeland Swales’ (1990) the CreateAResearchSpacemodel (CARS) for abstract and introduction parts, respectively. Findingsrevealed that while the moves mentioned by Hyland (2000) and others are totally typical to English research articles, somesignificant variations exist in Persian articles.
