Palmyra Fiber as Additional Materials on Solid Concrete Brick of Aggregate
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%.

<![CDATA[This study has as a purpose to show the ways for the formation of the plural of names in albanian language, tools used andhow they have changed, from Buzuku 1555 until nowadays. To show this thing, it is used the scientific research method and use of tabs,issued by the first albanian book “Missalâ€. It is seen that, the names in albanian, have a particular theme for the plural. There are manynames who form the plural as in today’s Albanian, but there are some names to Buzuku that don’t have the same changes in today’sAlbanian.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper aims to analyze and clarify patriarchal dominance in the Victorian era as described by Virginia Woolf's threenovels, Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and The Waves (1930). Woolf revolts against the patriarchal behavior ofdominance that treats women as prisoners during that age. The view of the feminist approach is that women are portrayed as sociallyand economically dependent in a society with male hegemony. Moreover, society has dealt with gender in a way that harms women intowhich men are trained to believe that they are superior to them. Woolf declares her revolt against women as prisoners of reality. Woolfstands against the popular image of her age _ the woman is devoted to be submissive to her husband. The female characters struggleto free themselves from restraint, seeking purpose and agency in the world through interaction with men. Throughout the analysis offemale characters, Woolf contested the inferior situation of women in the Victorian age. The female characters' words, speeches, andinterior monologues reveal that their pain, sadness and loneliness are because of the patriarchal dominancy.]]>

<![CDATA[Lucky Jim (1954), Kingsley Amis’s debut novel, is a comic, campus fiction, in which Jim Dixon, a member of the new alienatededucated generation, is striving for a position at a university which is still run by the upper-class professors. This masterpiece of Amishas generally been approached from two perspectives: either as an epitome of a new voice in literature (Amis as a member of the AngryYoung Men’s group, for instance) or as an illustration of different literary aspects (a revival of the picaresque in fiction, for instance).However, the central issue of the conflict between the protagonist and the academia has not been adequately addressed. Drawing onPierre Bourdieu’s key concepts and theories, this paper attempts to turn the focus on the roots of this conflict. Bourdieu believes that inevery given “field: the agents compete over positions by fighting over different “capitalsâ€; the ones who occupy a higher degree of capitaloccupy better positions within the field, which would lead to “symbolic capitalâ€. The Welches, representing the upper-middle-class andacademic pseudo-intellectualism own more cultural, economic and social capital which gives them power. The paper examines themodality of the relationship between such capital and power, especially in the field of education, as exemplified by Amis’s novel.]]>

<![CDATA[From the viewpoint of hermeneutics, texts are divided into open and closed texts. In contrast to closed texts, which areinflexibly structured, open texts are those which, according to Eco, are intended to lead to plural interpretations; these texts allow greatfreedom to the readers in the interpretation process and are preferred by intellectual people, since they, as opposed to common people,do not seek immediate pleasure from the text but try to go deep into the text and appreciate the miraculous power of such texts. Thepresent paper is an attempt to show that Hafez’s poems belong to open texts. Moreover, case studies on his poems, by means of ahermeneutic approach as well as the ideas of Eco and Bakhtin, will demonstrate that multivalence in Hafez’s poems stems from generalliterary and linguistic factors, his own personality, and sometimes from issues related to the readers. The results of the paper areillustrated at the end of a paper through a tree diagram.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper tries to analyze how ideology presented in the Interchange English language teaching books is reflected. And I waslooking for the answer of this question that "How do Interchange English language teaching books, as symbolic images, transfer theirideological meaning? And how are an ideology and particular life style presented in a natural and public form in these books?" Foranswering these questions, first I studied the four yellow, red, blue and green Interchange books and found the determinants of reflectedlife styles in these books, then came up with a pattern of the particular life style reflected in the books. These patterns are considered themain strategies of the book for transferring particular views and beliefs.]]>

<![CDATA[Article aims to discover the Lasgush Pogradeci's approach to the Albanian language ; to enlighten his opinion about thelanguage and its particular role in poetry.Therefor , we will stop at poetry "Fiery Language†and then we will examine in a moreexpanded and more specific way the linguistic occurrences in his poetic books : ‘The dance of the stars†and “The star of the heart’ , byclaiming to bring new insights and somehow enrich studies of linguists to date on his work. Linguistic occurrences such as phonologicalstreams through his verses, use of the old mastery of the original traits of words, special arrangements and links of words , the poetry ofcommon vocabulary, high semantic intensity of words generated by him , the special place of exclamatory and their emotional–expressive values . At the end , we can say that Lasgush Pogradeci is an elite poet , because he has the skills to work in elite way withthe language ; achieving a high level of aesthetic language]]>

<![CDATA[Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams, who emerged as playwrights in the post-war world, after the 1945, brought AmericanDrama to prominence and dominated the American theatre for nearly a decade and a half. Both began their careers as politicalplaywrights by responding to the economic and social realities of the age. After the 1950 another major figure appeared and provokedradical experimentation by combining aesthetic innovation with political revolt. His name was Edward Albee. All these figures played anenormous role in the process of transformation and innovation in the American theatre. The three of them with their talents, theiraesthetic experimentation and political beliefs made the American theatre a ‘fascinating phenomenon.’ Although they are a product ofthe same nation, including political and cultural background, they are still very different in the way they present to the public the socialdrama, the transformation of the American dream, the character they choose to present their anxieties and the background theyemphasize; thus their means of connecting fact and fiction, language and image, reality and drama are different. Therefore, this paperaims to present an overview of the differences and similarities of their styles, language, the nature of their characters, their theatricalperformance, the innovation that each of them brought into the American theatre.]]>

<![CDATA[The research starts from the theory of environmental literary criticism and it uses its methodology in the analysis of some LuigiPirandello's short stories. In a literary text, the ecocriticism analyzes the hierarchical order imposed by the centennial dictatorship ofsome members of the „vertical“ society. This order also inevitably includes some outcast elements which become marginalized by thepolicy of centralism, and the ecocriticism methodology permits the reader to concentrate on these elements. If we try to conceive theconcept of the world not exclusively anthropocentric, it means that a man should interact with the nature, which will lead to the horizontalvision of the society. In this work the focus is on the Pirandello's characters which are described as marginalized, exposed to theatrocities of the social and moral extermination. These characters are assigned the roles of victims, since subject to the discriminatorymechanism. The analysis aims to research whether in Pirandello's literary texts it is possible, by applying the ecocritical methods, toregain the balance among the characters and to equalize all the members of „Pirandello's literary society“.]]>

<![CDATA[According to organisation of information, libraries try to be helpful to its users. When question comes at the fictionclassification, there might be needed much more attention, as the fiction material suggest multiple interpretations.Purpose: describinghow the fiction classification is in public libraries of Albania and what lacks; seeking through possibilities how to enhance the subjectdescription by applicating new ways, adoptable in future steps. Approach: Revealing fiction preferences percentages among users inpublic libraries need concrete data. Three main public libraries were object of study. Fiction is opened to variables interpretations.There should be accurate identifications for shelves purposes and enhanced subject descriptions. An analitic discourse help on issue.Descriptions and explanations need a qualitative method. Value: by using new tools (labels, signs, words, etc.) for subject descriptionfor quick choices and library future catalogs the result is the increasement of users satisfaction, which is a library mission too.Limits:New proposals for fiction description might be useful, helpful, but it also takes the risk of too much “watery†information. Some of themmay confuse the unspecialised user, attracted by fiction section. Some of users don’t need to much details. Conclusion: New formsfound for subject description of fiction are indispensable and make easy the searching process. Users aren’t interested if tools arewords, numbers, lables or signs. Whatever they are, they should be the right one to be useful on technical developments.]]>
