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 intention of this study was to investigate the causal relationship, both long-run and short-run, between KSE (Karachi StockExchange) and some macroeconomic variables in Pakistan. The monthly data of all macroeconomic variables and stock prices wastaken from January 2001 to December 2010. In this paper, the variables which have not been previously studied by the researchers inPakistan were also included. The set of macroeconomic variables used in this study as an independent variables were Exchange Rate(ER), Foreign Exchange Reserves (FER), Industrial Production Index (IPI), Interest Rate (IR), Imports (M), Money Supply (MS),Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Exports (X). The stock price index of KSE, which is the largest stock exchange of Pakistan, was takenas a dependent variable. The statistical techniques, which were employed in this study, include the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) andKwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) unit root test, Johansen Co-integration test, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) andGranger Causality test. The study revealed the presence of long-run association between macroeconomics variables and stock prices.FER, IR, M, MS and WPI showed a positive and significant relationship with stock prices, while ER and X indicated a negative andinsignificant impact on stock prices but IPI has a negative but significant relationship with stock prices. The two error correction terms likeVecm1 (-1) and Vecm2 (-1) were resulted from VECM, the first error correction term was significant and indicated short term adjustmentstowards the equilibrium path. The results of Granger Causality showed that MS and WPI have bi-directional relation while ER, FER andM have uni-directional relationship with the stock prices but IPI, IR and X showed not any casual relationship.

Abstract

The African Union (AU) was set up in 2002 with one of its core objectives being to ensure Peace and Security in the continent.In response to this, the AU has been involved at various levels in peacekeeping activities involving deployment of troops. Given that thesuccess or failure of any peace operation is tied to the various components of the peace process, this paper examines the AMISintervention in Darfur in terms of its limitations as a useful model for troop deployment in future African peace operations. It finds that thesecurity situation in Darfur was a huge challenge to AMIS and its deployment to Darfur was flawed on several counts including a weakmandate and unclear terms of reference for the mission.

Abstract

This paper investigates the kind of translation strategies and procedures used by translators in the translation of terms ofaddress from English into Persian in three short stories, "The Rocking Horse Winner" by D.H. Lawrence, "A Rose for Emily" by WilliamFaulkner, and "A Little Cloud" by James Joyce. The comparison of terms of address with their translation showed that there is adifference between the system of terms of address in English and Persian. In order to show the kind of relations exist betweeninterlocutors in a more precise manner, translators should avoid a literal translation and pay more attention to cultural elements involvedin the target language.

Abstract

For over half a century, Cabej, like a few others, saw great achievements for his contribution to various fields of Albanologyand Balkanology. The breadth of his interests and his scientific productivity are perspicuous testimonies of the fact that he was a giftedscientist of European caliber, who dedicated his entire life to science. The writings of great linguists and humanists such as EqeremCabej are part of those elements, which constitute the cultural foundations of a nation. Just like the mighty mountains, such contributionscast their shade and rest their weight everywhere. Even when lacking the possibility or the need to analyze them in detail, the widemasses of the common people can feel their irradiating influence, and most of all, they truly believe them. Eqerem Cabej is a profoundscholar of the genesis of Albanian literature. He created the theoretical core of Albanian Romanticism and started the theoretical initiativeof the Modern Albanian Literature. As a pioneering theorist of the latter, which inevitably includes language too, he put forth prodigiousefforts to make it as rich and dynamic as possible, and as developed, and particularly, as aesthetic as it could be. His work, just like thebusy hum of the working bee, was persistent and tireless — the work of a great master. His work will be traveling the Albanian-speakingworld in perpetuity, due to its being as language-forming as it is world-forming.

Abstract

In the context of the general translating as a process, that today in the consecutive epoch of globalizing processes who hadinvolved the modern society, the legal and justice translation has been done and he as well as an essential and common; however isclearly visible how little importance and attention, to say the least, is devoted from the criticism or contemporary literature. In translator’senvironments, often we listen the italian expression "tratuttore, traditore" that means "translator, traitor". Many translators have had theirexperiences, good or bad, encountered during the translation process. Legal texts and judicial, legally regarded as "original" and not astranslated; we really never used the term translation, otherwise it will be affected very important principle of authenticity, which wouldmean that each of the texts been translated depend on the interpretation of the courts. One of the more used practices of translations ofthe legal texts is the method of translation ëith the same vieë of language in ëhich is translated. Pierre Pescatore says that "The idealtranslation of the EU legislation is that can be read as it was originally drafted in this language." The requirements of translations in thecourtroom are legally and complex interpretations that aimed to achieved the inter-language and inter-cultural equivalence. As above,and not only, will be the subject of this paper!

This is actually a kind of emptying positive or negativeenergy and is seen in all members of society. Among these members of society are the car owners, from whose written on car manyideas can be revealed. Car written manuscripts are part of culture and folklore of people so, by studying them, culture of ordinary peoplecan be detected. To express the feelings and ideas car owners use these verses, also they can communicate in this way with ordinarypeople without considering the style of poems. Sometimes, these verses teach a lesson and to tell the truth its effect is more, as there isno bitterness of advice and as a result it is a kind of moral literature. Present article indicates a new research in the field of pathologyanalysis of social trust which present in car written manuscripts. It seems that the lack of attention to the important factors of humanpersonality cause mistrust in the community. Some of these factors such as, hopelessness, ignorance, greediness, jealousy and … willbe tackled in this article.
