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 thesis of this article is that the Lisbon Treaty is one of the main factors that push the European and European candidate countries universities to rethink about a common reorganization in the years to come. Higher education is doubly affected by the local post-1989 transformations and by more profound and more long-lasting global transformations. So, the Lisbon Treaty is considered as one of the key forces that will push the Albanian and European Higher Education institutions to be the key factor of implementation of the treaty requirements directly to the students that are the future of Europe changes. A brief summary of related literature review and some qualitative data collected from an in-depth interview with 45 university students of private and public universities will be analyzed. Among all traditional factors that determine the possible implementation fields of the Treaty the author finds that the factors like the teaching of democratic and transparency feelings and thoughts, common efficiency of European universities, the promoting of European rights and values, freedom, solidarity and security and the notification of European universities as an actor on the global stage are statistically important.

Abstract

One of the most important choices of students in their lives is undoubtedly the choice of the university they want to attend. The orientation of young people is a strategic resource which is expressed in many activities that in turn aims at training and enhancing the ability of students to know themselves, the living environment, socio-economic and cultural changes, deals training, being protagonists of a personal life project and participate in the study, family and social life in an active, equal and responsible way. Improper orientation brings with it serious consequences for those who have less support, especially in cases of expulsion from educational system. In their choice of university courses is good to avoid referring only to return to school or especially concentrating on grades in academic subjects. It should expand the vision to discover the tendencies and the vocation of the person, and then his/her desire to face challenges ahead.

Abstract

Intelligence plays a great role in one’s life. This study was conducted with the objective to investigate the differences between self-perceived multiple intelligences of male and female. Results of the study revealed that there is a significant difference between self-perceived verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence of the male and female and there is no significant difference between self-perceived musical, bodily/kinesthetic and naturalistic intelligence of the male and female. On the basis of the conclusions it was recommended that students should be explicitly trained and they should provided different opportunities so they may have equal chance for the development of each intelligence, Female should be encouraged to participate in learning activities drawn around logical/mathematical activities, students may be provided both for male and female students with appropriate feed back without discrimination between male and female, Further researches may be conducted to further investigate difference between male and female self-perceived intelligence. Keywords: Multiple Intelligence, IQ, verbal/ linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, musica bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, natural.

Abstract

This study aims to show how Caryl Churchill, a woman feminist playwright has played a significant role in contemporary literary studies. Churchill’s plays mostly illustrate the oppression of women in patriarchal societies. By illustrating these subjugated and oppressed female characters, Churchill strikes the attention of the audience and make them to criticize the established social and economical norms. The blatant abuse of women in male dominated societies had resulted in a continuous struggle by them throughout history who fought for equal opportunities as they attempted to improve their positions in the society they lived in. In this regard, in researcher’s opinion Churchill also illustrates some subverssive characters among these oppresed women that although cannot change the present situation, they defy the conventional norms and challenge for their rights. This study places its crucial lens on portraying these impressive female characters in Churchill’s selected plays, Vinegar Tom (1976), Cloud Nine (1979), and Top Girls (1982). It also aims to focus on social construction of gender in the characters of these selected plays. Keywords: Feminist Plays, Agency, Subjectivity, Social Construction of Gender, Drag, Performativity.

Abstract

Financial sector plays a pivotal role in the economic development. It is generally agreed that a strong and healthy banking system is a prerequisite for sustainable economic growth. Banks in Pakistan have been undergoing major challenges in the dynamic environment over the past few years. In order to resist negative shocks and maintain financial stability, it is important to identify the determinants that mostly influence the overall performance of banks in Pakistan. This study aims to give the analysis of the determinants of top 10 banks’ profitability in Pakistan over the period 2004-2008. The focus is on the internal factors only. This paper uses the pooled Ordinary Least Square (POLS) method to investigate the impact of assets, loans, equity, and deposits on one of the major profitability indicator return on asset (ROA). The empirical results have found strong evidence that these variables have a strong influence on the profitability. However, the results show that higher total assets may not necessarily lead to higher profits due to diseconomies of scales. Also, higher loans contribute towards profitability but their impact is not significant. Equity and Deposits have significant impact on profitability. Key words: Financial Institutions, Banks, Profitability, Return on Assets, Correlation, Pooled OLS, Pakistan.
