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.

Abstract

This article is a general overview on the problems that stand in the way of Iranian adult learners of French. The articleintroduces the linguistic background of learners as one of the factors causing problems for them. English, the language they learnt duringschool years, and Persian, their mother tongue, are introduced as the main sources of these problems and this is because of thedifferences they have with French. The problems are categorized into three categories of discriminating phonemes and segmentingwords, pronouncing and writing adjectives and finally pronouncing and writing verbs. Attempt has been made to offer some solutions forthe existing problems as well. Teaching phonemes meticulously from the very outset of training can be one of the solutions to thisproblem. As the next step, after acquiring some preliminary skills by learners, teachers should focus on some other aspects includingself correction and self monitoring exercises. They should also ask learners to record their voice and listen to it and to guess themeaning from context.

Abstract

This paper examines the social problem of trafficking in human beings in Nigeria. It considers the root causes of the problem,the socio-economic implication of human trafficking, its recent global dimension and the policies and programmes of the Nigerian state incombating this ugly phenomenon. The paper made predominant use of secondary sources of data. Findings reveal that though the statehas certain policies and programs aimed at combating human trafficking, the problem persists because the institutions saddled withthese responsibilities are fundamentally weak. The paper, therefore, recommends certain measures to help in tackling the problem ofhuman trafficking in Nigeria.

Abstract

Food prices in South Africa have increased significantly in recent years. The impact of these price increases on manyresidents remains largely unknown. The study reported here analyzed the perceptions of households in a low income township ofBophelong (South Africa) in order to assess the impact of increases in food prices. The results are based on a household survey usingquestionnaires. The majority of households reported that they do not have enough income to meet their daily needs. The increase inprices in general was much higher for electricity and commuting. A logistic regression model was used to determine the socio-economicfactors affecting the reported impact of increase in food prices. Married and employed household heads reported lower severity levels.Female-headed households reported higher severity levels of price increases. Household income, household size, age, educationalattainment of the household head and the labour- force had no effect on the reported impact of prices. The article provides usefulinformation to policy makers by providing information on the reported impact of rising food prices among low income households in aSouth African context.

Abstract

The major aim of this study was to explore how the body parts play roles in Persian political texts as metaphorical expressionsaccording to cognitive point of view. Due to this fact, by examining a number of contemporary political expressions, the accumulateddata were attributed into different body members including: dast (hand), cheshm (eye), sar (head), pā(foot), ru (face), dahān (mouth), del(stomach, heart), shāne (shoulder), angosht (finger), zabān (tongue), dandān (tooth), gush (ear), sine (breast), ghalb (heart) and gardan(neck). Based on the findings, there are fifteen body members by applying which the political metaphors are conceptualized andreflected in Persian political discourse. Furthermore, the results obtained from the current study revealed that among the human bodymembers which are conceptualized in Persian political texts, "head" is the most frequent one.

Abstract

This paper assessed the apprenticeship culture among the traditional tailors in Atiba Local Government Area of Oyo State.Adopting qualitative methods, specifically the Focus Group Discussion and In-depth Interview, the study found that apprenticeshipamong the traditional tailors is shaped by common framework of guiding principles. The nature of traditional apprenticeship culture alsovaries among the tailors. In addition the traditional apprentice also possesses some unique characteristics that distinguished them fromthe Ibo apprentice. Furthermore, they have unbreakable relationships that make for their unity against masters. The paper suggestsgovernment involvement through adequate supply of electricity, soft loan, training and retraining for masters as well as the organizationof extra mural centres for them. The tailors and their apprentices should be alive to new ways of doing their trade so as to be much moremarketable.

Abstract

This paper aims at elaborating and understanding anomie and the code of honor in the Albanian family. During the last twodecades, Albanians have experienced rapid changes, great turmoil and transitions from a communist, traditional ethnic-based societytowards a new era of modern norms of a “western” society. Referring to Durkhemian’s paradigm on anomie as the first leading cause tocrime and deviance will go further by explaining that when people are living in anomic state due to rapid changes in transitional societies,a revival of old canonical, patriarchal norms is seen which controls and constructs human behavior. In the Albanian psycho-socialsystem, the code of honor of Middle Ages is renewed, by influencing the level of crimes and homicides especially within the familymembers. We hypothesize that: “when ethnic-based family oriented societies face new rules and regulations, a deregulation of thesocial system and a disruption of family ties is displayed, hence a domain of anomie is created, a threat of collective conscience of thesociety, a state of being lost between past and future which influences people to be more prone to committing murder and crimestowards society, towards their families and towards themselves, committing suicide. The second hypotheses is that: the honor killingsare nothing but a rudiment of the old patriarchal societies and an expression of the collision between the new imposed norms and old,well-established traditions.
