Palmyra Fiber as Additional Materials on Solid Concrete Brick of Aggregate
ISSN : 20399340     EISSN : 20392117     DOI : 10.36941/mjss
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

One of the major themes of discussion in the art and especially the literature of the 18th and 19th centuries was the problem ofdeath. In the beginning this seemed to be the case mostly because of the natural processes related to death as a transforming event ofthe human body and mind. However, towards the end of the 18th century and well into the 19 century, a certain shift took place from thecommon and normal perspective on death to a rather accessorized and scientific literary approach. Our attempt is to notice and makethe necessary connections between the concepts of nature (both the human nature and the external-physical nature) and the innovativetechnologies recently implemented in the society of the time, with reference to the new accidental and commercial facets of death asdestruction of nature especially in the work of the American Romantics R. W. Emerson and H. D. Thoreau. Aware that they are highlyspoken of in view of their transcendentalism as a particular philosophy about the bond between man and nature, we will slowly come toterms with this type of concerns and connect them to the conflicting reality of the industrialization as a sudden and repressivephenomenon within the society of men. Finally our point is that precisely this phenomenon caused these writers to make a historicaldetour and use their naturalist formation in order to make sense of their century deaths and diseases.

Abstract

Thorough depiction of the problem of phenomenological subjectivity is a profound, and contemporary challenge. Investigationsof young and late Husserl, as well as his successors (that upgraded the phenomenological project) – Martin Heidegger, RomanIngarden, Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, etc. should provide us with a large interdisciplinary context, especiallybetween philosophy and literary criticism. The question of subjectivity is something which contemporary epistemology cannot deny – it isdominant aspect in the domains of literary theory (author, narrator, reader), as well as in philosophical inquiries (practical, metaphysical,transcendental subject, etc.). This paper aims to reunite this concept within a wider context – the question of subjectivity is more than19th century, modern, or postmodern product. It concerns the provisional status of subject as existential Sein, but also the possibility toconsider postmodern subjectivity as its confirmation. On the one hand, in Derrida’s terms, solicitation is the movement of self, destructionof totality, but on the other it is also “being “ as presence in the living present, that ultimately is not available for diminution, especiallybecause its uniformity cannot be theoretically grasped.

Abstract

The history of education has valued preciously all people involved in it and has flourished into an educational function,teaching and learning of our thorough knowledge in its institutions - such as "Normale" Educational center that played an historic role inthe Albanian language. Albanian normal schools have a record of long, difficult, but also glorious path. They were the main homes forgenerations of teachers and also the place where it was necessary to prepare the framework for education and awareness of thenation. Albanian teachers, in different periods of history had run the greatest risk of extinction of national culture and education. Theyplanted the sound seeds by which had brought the essence of national awareness, which in a century struggle of unparalleled trials triedto revive education, science, culture and Albania. In the history of Albania teachers and veterans of teaching, wherever they worked andacted, played the leading role, contributed as they could with their valuable works, which undoubtedly served to their students, futureteachers, in raising subsequently the national level of conscience for their learning and teaching.

Abstract

Based on the polls organized it results that the habit of smoking is considered as the smallest problem compared to the otherones that their child might have. Comparing this problem with others issues like: attendance and school results, drugs and sex, smokingis considered as the last “concern” of the parents and families in general. That is because this habit is considered as a health problem ofthe individual who smokes. But the facts show that it is not like this. Smoking is not only an individual health problem. On the other handwith all the great work done, continuous campaigns, fines and laws to ban smoking, youngsters and teenagers who smoke areincreasing every day. In order to win this “war” (that smoking should not be started or re-started) from children and teenagers it isnecessary the help of the parent, family, but changed as a behavior. The parent and the family can be promoting and cooperatingfactors with the individual that the decision to start or ban smoking can be decided with them. A careful parent does not only tell off oftakes reprimanding measures but above all becomes a friend to overcome such a danger. A well informed parent on the way how tobehave with his/her own child is a successful path to fight the habit of smoking. The work done with parents by the school or differentNGOs which are closely related to families would bring and give more results than fussy and costly campaigns.

Abstract

The Malaysian society is known for its rich traditional beliefs and culture and is home to people of various ethnicities, whichinclude Malays, Chinese, Indians and various aboriginal tribes. Admittedly, there are social distances between the various races and“most Malays do not know Chinese values very well and most Chinese are quite ignorant of Malay values, despite the fact that they havebeen living side by side for so long” (Syed Hussin, 2008: 171). This is where mass media, according to Siapera (2010), especiallytelevision, can play a big role. In light of this matter, Syed Hussin (2008) commented that mass communication has not been used to itsfull effect to promote a better understanding of people of different cultures and values. Hence, the core of this paper involves looking atthe content of television programs in Malaysia, in order to unearth how the diversified cultures are being portrayed on television. Byrelating it to the regimes of representation (Siapera, 2010) I intend to investigate if the various races are equally represented. Also, I aminterested to gauge the possible aspects one can learn about their culture from the program. To help answer this question, a qualitativecontent analysis was conducted on Buletin Utama1, to ascertain the forms of culture that are being represented in the program mostwatched by the Malaysian audience.

Abstract

Contemporary society is characterized by the spread of contradictory discourses around food, by alimentary hyper-reflexivityand by the gradual individualization of food choices and alimentary-related risks. Food has increasingly become a means of personal(e.g. nutritionism, scientific and spontaneous dietaries, eating disorders, consumption of industrial organic products) and global(alternative modalities of production and consumption) identity management, and a tool that allows for the construction of newsubjectivities, forms of belonging and planning, and of specific worldviews. My hypothesis is that individuals select, manipulate andutilize hegemonic food rhetorics to create new forms of self-representation and belonging, to subscribe to and to question values, and toexplore alternative meaning-making possibilities. This paper is intended as a critical examination of some of the contemporaryhegemonic discursive fields (nutritionist rhetoricals, advertising narratives, techniques of food traceability and labeling, certification,speeches which promote alternative food production and consumption) that determine individual and collective food choices andconsumption practices. In this sense, food may be considered as a "technology of the self" and alimentary practices are strategies,creative modes of resistance, subversion or adjustment to institutionalized structures of power, means to manage livelihoods,uncertaninty and the effects of critical times and to “imagine” individual existences and alternative futures, in the acception suggested byAppadurai.

Abstract

During practically its entire history Azerbaijan was objective involved in processes geopolitical and, foremost military andpolitical expansion. In this article we consider the main stages of the military expansion of Russian empire in northern Azerbaijan duringof the XVIII and beginning of the XIX centuries. It was in the XVIII century military-political situation on South Caucasus characterized bystrengthening of activity in the region of three regional powers - Russia (only starts to gain positions in the region), as well as Iran andthe Ottoman Empires (more and more losing its positions). Thus, the main focus of Russia's imperial policy in the Caucasus at the XVIIIand beginning of the XIX centuries was to create a «buffer» zone, with a view to establishing a military base for opposition to thedominant in the region neighboring states: Ottoman Empire and Qajar Iran. As a result, the main victim of policies carried out by Russiain the Caucasus was, of course, the people of Azerbaijan, which lost part of their historic lands.

Abstract

It is common wisdom that Turkey, with its divided society, has a long but troubled history with democracy. Especially withrespect to the last three decades, one should remember the making and functioning of the current constitution. Since its adoption in1982, current constitution of Turkey has been a target of condemnations, since it had been a fruit of a military coup d’etat . Falling shortof the current international standards of democracy and rule of law, this Constitution has undergone seventeen amendments. Aconsiderable number of liberalization and democratization packages to the constitution were made during the last eight years of Justiceand Development Party (Adalet ve Kalk􀃕nma Partisi: AKP ) With the electoral victory of the AKP on 12 June 2011, the process of theresolution for Turkey’s chronic “constitutional problem” took a new pace. As its third term has started, the AKP stated that Turkeyneeded an entirely new constitution and this would be done in a constitution making process, where all segments of the politicalspectrum would be represented. This presentation aims to explore the question of constitution making considering the most recentdevelopments and debates surrounding the present Constitution of Turkey. For this, we will first consider the question of constitutionmaking in terms of constitutional law, as well as political science. Then we will go on to explore the major legal and political problems inthis framework.

Abstract

The paper analyses the intersections of religion, race and gender from a legal perspective. Existing legal scholarship in thisarea has provided a number of accounts, reporting mainly from European jurisdictions, as well as from the jurisprudence of theEuropean Court of Human Rights. The aim of this paper is to first explain how law has contributed to the exclusion of individuals linked toa specific religion, race and gender. Examples of religious discrimination claims highlight particular detriment experienced mostly, but notexclusively, by religious and ethnic minority women in the majority of jurisdictions. These instances reflect that religion is more often thannot the main or sole focal point in court or legislation, whereas the deliberate or accidental effect on women and/or ethnic minorities isconveniently ignored. In its second part, the paper will then move on to elaborating potential solutions for such undesirable outcomes oflaw. The available legal solutions entail various advantages and disadvantages, however, a model of ‘reasonable accommodation’ willbe proposed as the preferable answer at this point in time. Nevertheless, the paper also provides reasons for complementing legalsolutions with non-enforceable measures, such as the facilitation of interfaith dialogue and the raising of awareness of equality anddiversity.
