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

This study aimed at investigating the most frequent cohesive errors committed by Iranian undergraduate EFL learnersat different levels of proficiency as well as the sources of cohesive errors. An overall number of 67 undergraduate students atShiraz Azad University participated in this study. To have three groups of learners with different proficiency levels, OxfordPlacement Test 1B1 (Allan, 1985) was administered. To achieve the objectives of the study, the participants were given a writingtask requiring them to write an approximately 200-word narrative composition. Then, the compositions were scored based on thetaxonomy developed by Halliday and Hasan (1976). Finally, the data were analyzed through appropriate procedures usingquantitative methods. Regarding the frequencies and percentages of errors it was found that low-level learners' most frequenterrors were involved in references (20), followed by errors in lexical (14), and conjunctive cohesion (1). Besides, the findingsshowed that errors in references were the most common (17), followed by errors in lexical (13), and conjunction cohesion (2) inthe mid-level learners' narrative compositions and, finally, the high-level learners' most frequent errors were involved in lexicalcohesion (17), references (14), conjunction cohesion (3), and substitution (1).This study also allowed for an examination of thesources of cohesive errors. It was found that errors in the use of relative pronouns, conjunctions, along with different forms ofrepetition appeared because of the incomplete knowledge of the learners—intra-lingual causes. Furthermore, in this study, theerrors in the use of personal-, possessive-pronouns, demonstratives and collocations were among the inter-lingual causes oferrors.

Abstract

Enhancing access to formal financial services especially credit to the rural populace has been identified as a means ofreducing poverty in developing countries. This paper investigates whether access to financial services reduces poverty in Nigeriafocusing specially on rural areas. A cross-sectional primary data was generated using a structured questionnaire administeredon randomly selected respondents from rural areas of Katsina state. The study used multinomial logit model in examining therelationship, and the study found a negative relationship between poverty level and access to financial services. The studyconcludes that promoting access to formal financial services increases the level of income of the rural dwellers and thus aretarding effect on the level of poverty in the rural areas.

Abstract

Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world. It is an increasingly important source of income,employment and wealth in Albania. International tourism now accounts for a larger share of foreign exchange receipts and exportearnings than any other industry. But, while tourism provides considerable economic benefits for the country, regions andcommunities, its rapid expansion has also had detrimental environmental and socio-cultural impacts. Sustainable Tourism is acontemporary concept that is used to reflect the need of a comprehensive analysis and to consider Tourism as a need,experience and business. Anyway this shouldn’t be our single consideration. Tourism is part of overall efforts towardachievement of a sustainable Albanian Economy. The paper argues that the promotion of sustainable tourism development isessential for maximizing its socio-economic benefits and minimizing its environmental impact. It continues than with thediscussion on implementation of two instruments of sustainability such as “National Environmental Label’ and Quality Markin Albania

Abstract

This paper investigates socio-pragmatic transfer of speech acts from Persian language into English language. The researchercompares the data gathered from Persian speakers of English and American native English in five different service situations. Persianspeakers of English have different semantic interpretations from native American speakers, they conform to different sociolinguisticnorms. So when Persian speakers want to speak English they consider their own cultural and social norms and transfer them in toEnglish. Misunderstanding and break downs in conversations are due to this socio-pragmatic transfer. Adhering to different speakingrules and models of accepted behavior can cause different cultural perceptions about the L2 speakers, some of which are not trueperceptions of course. So we should be careful about false cultural perceptions naming stereotypes without having knowledge about L2speakers' cultural and social backgrounds.

Abstract

Numbers are widely used to form such metaphorical idioms as ‘at sixes and sevens’, ‘to be on cloud nine’ and ‘three sheets tothe wind’. A question arises as to how these number-related expressions acquire their metaphorical significance. Following Lakoff andJohnson (1980) and in the light of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, the present study investigates the relationship between language andculture in the construction of idiomatic expressions of number in English and Persian. The working hypothesis in the present study is thatalthough numbers have similar denotations across cultures, idiomatic expressions of number may represent culture-specific concepts.

Abstract

In the context of the largest crisis that capitalism has ever faced the discussion on social class and class consciousnessseems more relevant than ever. The Greek crisis strikes as an ideal opportunity to start this debate. The phenomenal rise of the middleclass in Greece over the last four decades has shaped a very problematic framework for a deep and rational analysis of social classes incontemporary Greek society. The policy that had enabled public servants and small businessmen to have access to social goods - thatuntil a few years ago was exclusive privilege of the upper class – has changed the dominant model of interpretation of social stratificationand hierarchy in modern Greek society. This study by using a mixed questionnaire (Likert scale and Content Analysis of the written texts)investigates the class stereotypes and the class consciousness of the Greek youth, while trying to clarify the facts of class stratification inthe country in the midst of an unprecedented economic, social and political crisis.

Abstract

The demands on supervisors both in and out of educational settings introduced by the recent learner-based innovations andcombined with increased work load have led many to question the levels of job satisfaction, occupational stress and burnout amongsupervisors. The goal of this article was to explore the levels of occupational stress, burnout and job satisfaction among supervisors inNorth Cyprus. The target population of this study was all supervisors working for the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in NorthCyprus. All 34 supervisors were included in the study. Data were collected through (1) Occupational Environment Scale (Osipow &amp;Spokane,1983), (2) the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach &amp; Jackson, 1981b) and (3) the Minnesota Work Satisfaction Questionnaire(Weis et al.,1967). The level of job satisfaction of supervisors was found to be high, whereas levels of their occupational stress werefound to be moderate. The levels of emotional burnout and personal accomplishment were also found to be moderate but the level ofdepersonalization was found to be low among the supervisors.

Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of mobbing in education system in Turkey. The aims of the study were; to define negativeacts causing mobbing at schools; to assess relationships between mobbing and school type, gender, age, job experience, and teachers’branch; and to investigate reasons for mobbing at schools. A theoretical framework based on the literature was proposed. Afterwards, anexploratory survey was formed to gather essential data for the study. T-test and ANOVA were utilized for analyzing the data. Thefindings reveal that teachers are subject to mobbing at schools. There are high correlations between mobbing and school type andprofessional experience at schools. Yet there are slight relationships between mobbing, gender, and age. Both school administrators andcolleagues mob teachers. The study contributes significant information and data for further research about mobbing at schools in thenational and international level.
