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.

Abstract

Local government is now one of the most important political institutions of modern states including Poland. It is confirmed byboth of the Worldwide Declaration of Local Self-Government and the European Charter of Local Self-Government. It sometimes is evenrecognized as the fourth power in the country, next to the three powers of Montesquieu's classification. Local government units (JST inPolish) carry out their activities in accordance with the regulations contained in the legislation. There are set of tasks and tools that couldbe used. It should be noted that purpose of any organization and business activity, including local government, is to achieve its taskaccomplished and to preserve the possibility of further operation. The achieving of goals may be affected by circumstances arising fromthe action of external forces (strategic risk) or binding with the specificity of local government units (operational risk). An essentialelement in the functioning of local governments has become a risk management. This area became part of the internal managementcontrol processes in Poland and it should be implemented in any unit. However, in many cases, risk management comes down to controlthe correctness of implementation a few procedures. In the end, it does not control the effects of adverse events that occur in thefunctioning of local government units actually. It becomes necessary to indicate the direction of constructing such a risk managementprocedures to make them similar to actions are taken in enterprises..

Abstract

This paper aims to present the assessment of the European Work Councils which provide workers with informing andcounselling right by Turkish trade unions. European Union membership process entails to comply with the legal acquis of the EU.Therefore, the effects of the European Work Councils Directive which provide workers with informing and counselling right on Turkishworkers have become an important subject. Turkish workers have the right of participating in decision-making process by trade unions,collective labour bargaining and some methods on work place level. However, the effectiveness of these methods is low as a result ofthe dominant position of the state, negative approach of employers and relative weakness of workers. Moreover, narrow-scopedindustrial relations system which is regulated in detail and the existence of informal economy reduce the effect of these methods.Reviewing labour relations and its legal background in the EU show us that there is a considerable difference according to Turkishindustrial relations. The most significant difference is the participation of all parties in decision making process related to the EUindustrial relations. It can be said that European Social Model (ESM) lie behind the participation culture and the Directives. During recentyears the European Social Model is associated with “increasing economic performance, advanced social protection and social dialog”(Hermans, 2005: 5). Right after European Single Market was created; there has been an increase in the number of multinationalcorporations and their interrelations. Multinational corporations consider revising their management structure at national level necessaryaccording to new developments at European Level (Marginson, 1997: 224-225). Therefore, the Council Directive 94/45/EC2 which isrelated to employee participation in decision making process was legislated in 1994 with the intention of maintaining economic relations;reduce competitive pressure between corporations and accordance in management methods. The Council Directive 94/45/EC wasrevised in May 2009 and new Directive 2009/38/EC is in effect. One of the negotiation titles between Turkey and the EU is social policyand employment. The Directive 2009/38/EC is among the subjects in negotiations. In this context, presenting assessments of TurkishTrade Unions on European Work Councils make contribute to the process and to determine reservations on the subject.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of cultural assumptions on corporate reputation perception of Turkishcitizens mainly in Turkish telecommunication industry. Today in the globalised markets, in which the life cycles of products becomesshorten and differentiation between products diminish, as a company to be preferred, the key of the success lies in intangible assests.“Reputation” is such an intangible and valuable asset which makes a company preferred by whole stakeholders and which creates acompetitive advantage for the companies. During the process of building of the reputation perception, cultural assumptions and values ofthe stakeholders are going to be influenced by national cultural values of the stakeholders (customers, suppliers, citizens, society,rivals..) Within the scope of this study impact of two cultural dimensions are tested namely: Individualism/ Collectivism and Masculinity/Feminity. According to study results, horizontal individualism and feminity are the dominant cultural assumption prevaling in Turkishtelecommunication sector in determining corporate reputation perception, whereas horizontal collectivist assumptions are the mostprevailing one in determining the sector free general perception of reputation quotient. The people who have horizontal collectivistcultural assumptions, give importance much more to the inner dynamics of the company (i.e, workplace environment, leadership andfinancial performance) in their perception of RQ (reputation quotient). This study’s theoretical contribution is the examination of effects ofcultural dimensions on corporate reputation perception of the companies in a comprehensive model; proposing new variables (affect ofcorporate reputation on employee attitudes and behaviors like organizational commitment, intention to turnover, job satisfaction,organizational citizenship behavior etc in terms of organizational behavior; and on customer satisfaction, brand loyalty and companyperformance as strategic management variables) in the model and filling this gap in the research.

Abstract

The doctrine of the supremacy of Community Law as developed by the ECJ has been at the heart of juridical and doctrinaldebates. One of the most acute issues for national courts in the European Union has been whether to accept EU law as the supreme lawof the land, giving it primacy even when conflicting with national constitutional provisions. The judicial approach regarding this principleeven in the new Member States from Central Eastern Europe has been varying. Therefore, we analyze the position of a potentialMember State such as Albania, the role of its Constitution and Constitutional Court, regarding the doctrine of supremacy of EU law asdeveloped by the ECJ. Many Albanian authors, according to the Kelsenian concept of the legal system as a pyramid, interpret Article116 of the Albanian Constitution as creating a hierarchy between the sources of the law, by placing the Constitution in the first place.However, the Albanian Constitution was drafted to facilitate the Euro-Atlantic integration of the country and includes specific articles forthe abovementioned integration. One of them - Article 122/3 relevant to the doctrine of supremacy of EU law - will be analysed tounderstand whether its language upholds the doctrine of supremacy of EU law. We will supplement such analysis with a general view ofthe constitutional provisions and Constitutional Court decisions, which address the problems of international law in the Albanian legalsystem. Such analysis is both important and timely since the pending ‘candidate status’ for Albania will both widen and deepen Albania’srelationship with the EU making the issue of the supremacy of EU law legally more pressing and socially and politically more pertinent.

Abstract

Assumption of effective decision-making process for tourists on a trip is based on quality information. In order to gain insight ofthe source of information about tourists' decisions related to travel and to the European tourist market, a secondary research wasconducted. Subjects-tourists, who participated in the survey, were asked to indicate which sources of information they use when makingdecisions about travel plans, by valuing different sources of information as very important to less important ones. Survey results indicatehighly prevailing sources of information such as "recommendations of friends and colleagues," and the Internet as a new technologicalsolution tourists use when making decisions about their travel resort. The most important sources of information, according to thedemographic characteristics of respondents in all 27 EU Member States, were also analyzed. In this paper, preliminary results arebrought in connection with the timeframe and poor economic condition determining the behavior of consumers and their capabilitiesrelated to travel, and hence the frequency of travel, tourism trends and alternative travel destinations which are a result of mostacceptable solutions to these conditions. Classical sources of information, such as travel agencies with the exception of "therecommendations of friends and colleagues", have new challenges and additional responsibilities on how to effectively implement statedtechnological solutions into new business processes.

Abstract

Political changes after 1990 necessitated the reorganization and functioning of local government in Albania. As it is known, twolevels of local government function in our country; the first level includes the communes and municipalities, while the second levelincludes the prefectures and counties. At the time being 12 counties and 12 prefectures, 36 districts, 65 municipalities, 309 communesand 3020 villages function in Albania. The functioning of local government is based on: Constitution of the Republic of Albania, Albanianlegislation since 1990 , especially the law no. 8652 which dates back to July 31, 2000 "On organization and functioning of localgovernment", as well as European charter on local autonomy. Legislation for local autonomy and decentralization of government wasdrafted on the basis of Article 13 of the Constitution of Albania. Article 7 guarantees the principle of unity and balance of the localgovernment. The development of administrative reforms in Albania has been influenced by these factors: - administrative tradition of theAlbanian State 1912 - 2011; - world experience ; - economic and cultural administration level; - interests of political class and Albanianstate; - attitude of the people and the local administration. - physical and geographic conditions of the country. Reorganization andadministrative division are conditioned by of the demomographic movement of rural and urban population. Although Albaniangovernment and parliament have repeatedly focused on the topic of organization and functioning of local government, administrativereform in Albania is far from being considered complete.
