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

Spain and Morocco have had a long and tumultuous relationship. Spanish culture, like Moroccan and other societies in theMediterranean area, used to place a high value on family honor and female chastity. However, the death of the Spanish dictator andSpain's entrance into the European Union have drastically changed Spanish culture and further expand the cultural and political gulfbetween these two countries. For Moroccan immigrant women in Spain, virginity remains important for Islamic marriages becauseMoroccan grooms and their families can still demand proof of virginity to validate the union. Nevertheless, young Moroccan women stillpartake in the sexual freedom granted in Spain and other European countries. Sexual experimenting, however, comes with a price. Inorder to mask evidence of behaviors that have strayed from the cultural dicta, Moroccan women would request for certificates of virginityor hymen reconstruction surgeries to maintain their family honor. Drawn from ethnographic data, interviews, and textual and discourseanalysis, this paper addresses the controversy related to the need to preserve honor and female chastity in Spain and the Spanishinstitutions' reaction to this need.

Abstract

February 15th, 2009, saw the reopening of the Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco as a museum thatshowcases the sufferings of imprisoned Chinese immigrants who came to the west coast of the United States of America during the firsthalf of the 20th century. Although many travelers or immigrants from East Asian countries and the eastern part of Russia were detainedand roughed up when they arrived in San Francisco, by far the majority of the detainees were Chinese. Under the notoriouslydiscriminating law known as “Chinese Exclusion Act” passed in 1882 and repealed in 1943, no fewer than 120,000 Chinese were held inAngel Island against their will between 1910 and the early 1940’s, some of them for as long as two years. Different from their fellowdetainees from Japan, Korea, or Russia, who registered their frustration and anger vocally or in short pieces of writing, the Chinese whowere confined in Angel Island wrote poems instead and carved them on the walls of their bunk barracks. These poems, totaling over150 and all written in Chinese, recorded a range of feelings the detainees experienced: fear, uncertainty, despair, loneliness,homesickness, indignation, defiance, and even contempt. In my presentation, I would like to categorize some of these poems by theirthemes, identify the emotions expressed in them, and analyze their structural patterns in the Chinese poetic discursive tradition. In sodoing, I intend to establish a link among all these individual works of poetry written and inscribed in times of great distress and see how,as a very alien form of rhetorical practice to the average American reader, each of these poems contributed to the collective identity ofChinese emigrants to America in the early 20th century.

Abstract

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird (1960) is a novel that is concerened with the parent-child's relationship. One of the thingsthat strikes the reader the most is the bond shared by Atticus, a single parent, and his children Scout and Jim. Most of the lines from thisnovel are memorable and express a lot about parenting in a very simple style. It states that true parenting is about sharing a bond thatprovides the right amount of affection and love unconditionally and teaches a sense of responsibility and humanity in children. It alsoemphasises respecting the children and at the same time teaching them the basics of life without being pedantic. It is to be the child’sfriend and mentor without one role over powering the other. Parenting is one of the most fulfilling tasks in life, yet one of the most difficultones. Every parent deals with his/her child in their own different way, still most of the parenting types can be categorized into somespecific types of parenting. This paper will discuss the commonly found parenting types, their advantages and disadvantages. That are:the Authoritarian, democratic, permissive, desmissive, and abusive types. Two of these types will be discussed in this paper: thedemocratic and the abusive types as they are the subject of To Kill a Mockingbird. The moral-philosophical approach will be implied asthe most suitable approach to the novel.

Abstract

This essay examines the sonic dimension of Anri Sala’s cinematic works by drawing on the theoretical framework outlined byJean-Luc Nancy in his texts on music and image, as well as on Jacques Derrida’s texts on Nancy. Based on the case study exploring thecinematic practices of Anri Sala conducted within a research project on the border phenomena between cinematic visual arts and thecinema, this essay argues that Sala’s works draw attention to the simultaneous expansion of both – the global sonorous space and theglobal visual space. To characterize Sala’s use of the global sonorous space, specific works are discussed in more detail – “Intervista”(1998), “Dammi i colori” (2003), “Làk–kat” (2004), “Long Sorrow” (2005), “After Three Minutes” (2007) and “Le Clash” (2010) – where thesonorous materials extend from languages such as Albanian, Wolof, American English, British English, French and German, to differentkinds of music such as British punk-rock, jazz improvisations by an American saxophonist and an aria from Giacomo Puccini’s opera“Tosca”. By analyzing Sala’s innovative practices of using silence, sound and music, this essay aims to create an improved theoreticalframework for understanding current global artistic practices where the sonorous and the visual influence and shape each other.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain the development of Albanian literary criticism in the early twentieth century. This studyis intended to create a panorama of Albanian literary criticism, taking into account a number of key components that enabled the birth ofAlbanian literary critical thought, its development and maturation. This paper also intends to approach the study of Albanian literarycriticism diachronically and synchronically. These approaches create an opportunity to interpret how literary criticism developed in theperiod 1912-1944. The reason for using these methods is to give a complete overview of the steps of Albanian literary criticism. Thisstudy carefully constructs a socio-cultural context of the period and shows how the social-cultural context creates the necessaryconditions for the emergence of literary criticism in Albania. This study also shows the most well known representatives and types ofliterary criticism. Special attention is paid to problems that accompanied the origins of Albanian literary criticism. These problems areclassified according to their literary genres developed in the period 1912 -1944.

Abstract

My paper locates its point of departure inside the discourse of systems’ theory to examine how the postmodern interpretationof centeredness, both in poetry and poetics, has been remodeled. The point made in this paper is that in its most generic and metaphoricmanifestations, the idea of the center evinces deep ambivalence for postmodernism in general and postmodern poetry in particular.Hence, in the context of this multidisciplinary and sophisticated enterprise, the dynamics between stable and unstable, local and global,stability and fixity never resolves clearly. Throughout the most engaging body of poems by John Cage, John Ashbery, Robert Creeley,and John Berryman, which I will examine in my paper, the concept of centeredness sits uneasily against the cultural and aestheticpressures to produce that kind of poetry, which captures some of the most nuanced re-collections of the postmodern experience.

Abstract

In the 19th century, in the Arbores of Italy locations, an Albanian literature was developed, which for its famous content andartistic values, is part of a brilliant page of the history of literature and in general of the Albanian National Renaissance, where in the lasttwo to three decades, with pleasure we notice a rebirth of the tradition of literature known like its second “renaissance”. From theselocations we have had not only local singers and poets (known in the local Arbores communities) but as well but as well in the entireliterature world in Italy and Europe. Throughout an analysis and interpretation in this article, I will reveal the tendency towards theelevation of the written language level with all its functions, making attempts to be incorporate a new lexical fund as well, characteristicfor the nowadays world. This article will serve to highlight the issues of the Albanian language only, an issue that is situated historicallyfrom the specific circumstances of the Albanians, and of Diaspora as well, desiring to reinforce their connections to the trunk, they shouldfollow the linguistic trunk model.

Abstract

“Magical realism” flourished in the literature of 1979-1980 through books and translations from the foreign writers. One of themost well-known writers of this trend was the italian writer Dino Buzzati. This paper aims to present works and books of Albaniantranslators such as Dritan and Zija Cela, Hasan Bregu, Mimoza Hysa, etc who have embraced the works of Dino Buzzati. The focus ofthe study is the work “Sixty narratives” whose stories will be approached and compared to the works of Albanian writers. This study willpoint out translation as a difficulty and barrier of reading and understanding. The structure of Buzzati’s short stories is extremely uniqueand special. He manages to relate the real world with the imaginary one in his own way. Words and language are of the mediumregister, not elaborated and syntax is developed in a different way. This study helps the field of literature translation through acomparative method. Expected results: Albanian translators have coped with the difficulties of translation and have achieved to presentthe original work of the italian writer Dino Buzzati

Abstract

When the universe was created, the Word attached to its creation, since the word could serve as a tool that builds,coordinates, interprets, or destroys, confuses and disrupts any contact between people, events or a combination of the two. Everyindividual or event needs the word to bring about these processes or specifically to communicate. Communication is like a "galaxy" ofendless "constellation" chain-linked, which creates around it a muddled "vortex", which in turn reels up all the "stars" in a magneticbewitching breast. Thus, galaxies would be the world composed of people of different cultures (Pleiades) within which human knowledgedevelops (Vortex), which in turn reels up in its breast as if by magic all the communicative ways and norms between people (stars) . It isas beautiful process as it is complicated of individuals who share ideas, messaging etc. - whether expressed through voice or in writing.In fact, we recognize oral, written, visual, electronic, and last a form called non-verbal communication. However, all these forms ofcommunication invented by man or not have as proof, the Paper; everything is recorded in them for their existence. Writing as a form ofcommunication has several forms and one of them is Poetry. Poetry has been written since in the ancient times by writers who havecontributed in various countries, subsequently it has also been translated. In England, the period of Romanticism, records one of themost typical writers: Percy Bysshe Shelley. In this paper, we will treat the lyric poem "Ode to the West Wind" and the Albanian version“Odë për Erën e Perëndimit” to highlight the value of poetry as a way to intensify sound communication between people of differentcultures.
