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.

Abstract

In most of the countries, in these last years, pension reforms are a real challenge for the governments. There exist four maincriteria classifying and categorizing pension systems around the world: 1- Who manages the system (public / private); 2- How thecoverage is decided (Employment-related / Universal and Means-tested); 3- How benefits are calculated (defined contribution / definedbenefit); 4- How benefit are financed (PAYG / Fully Funded).This study focuses in these criteria, by comparing the public and private pension systems in general terms. A special focus is also givento the Albanian case and recommendations for the future reforms take place.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the relations between Italy and Albania during the republican government of the President AhmetZogu (1925-1928). Its approach is based on the study of the documentation, focusing on the factors that influenced the Italian diplomacytowards the Albanian state, as follows: At first, the government of Italy had economic interests in Albania, forcing the political class tomake concessions to search and exploit the oil and mineral reserves from the Italian enterprises, such as: Azienda Italiana Petrolid’Albania (AIPA), Sindaco Italiano Giacamenti Minerari Albanesi (SIGMA) etc; the Italian investments in agriculture and theestablishment in Rome of the National Bank of Albania, in March 1925. Secondly, Italy intended to exert the political influence on Albaniabecause of its strategic position in the Balkan. Rome benefited from the necessity of the President Zogu to protect his political regimeand to overcome the difficult economic situation, forcing the Albanian government to sign the First Pact of Tirana, on 27th November,1926. According to this agreement, Italy would defend the juridical, the territorial and the political status-quo of Albania against everypotential aggression. Also it imposed some restrictions on the foreign policy of Albania, menacing its sovereignty. While, the SecondPact of Tirana signed on 22nd November, 1927, was basically a defensive alliance that strengthened the Italian domination in Albania,using it as a military base for further penetration in the Balkan.Thus, the Italian diplomacy towards the Albanian state with the aim ofachieving its political and economic goals not only posed a threat to the sovereignty of Albania but also to the stability of the region.

Abstract

In public dental cabinets patients often miss their appointments which may cause dead time, resulting in material andpersonnel costs. The time lost estimated in a dental clinic from the Andalusian health service in Spain has an average of 27 minutes aday. This time is often employed in the treatment of patients who attend without an appointment, categorized as an ‘emergency’ (70patients per month in 2011, quoted time spent 38 minutes a day). 67% of these were patients who had not attended to their previousappointments. We analyzed surveys concerning patients´ satisfaction and complaints carried out in public health centers, the reasonswhy patients were attending without an appointment or for ‘emergencies’, as well as the communication channels between patient vs.dental care professional, and patient vs. appointment administration personnel. As a result, the process designed involves all theprofessionals, beginning at reception where patients will be reported concerning the way to cancel or postpone an appointment. Theincrease of the consultation time scheduled, will achieve an acceptable waiting time less than a week. Posters designed give detailedinformation with reference to office hours, how to cancel appointments, the ‘criteria’ and specific schedule for attending without anappointment. Specific schedule to attend emergencies, will take advantage to educate patients on schedule adherence, providing themwith another appointment in the shortest time possible. A design for the implementation of the communication between patients andprofessionals will improve the daily dynamics of the dental office.

Abstract

Known as Algeria’s most prominent woman novelist, Assia Djebar has successfully brought to the forefront issues of a feministnature all the while keeping her texts immersed within the discourse of nationalism. Djebar’s novels exhibit a multitude of femalepersonalities and experiences that defeat all attempts at fixating women into objects of textual representation. This paper aims atpresenting Djebar’s novels as counter narratives to the phallocentric constructions of the female figure as lack and Orientalistimplications of the feminine as marginal and inconsequential through the use of feminist and postcolonial approaches. By analyzing themulti-faceted accounts of women in Fantasia and Women of Algiers in Their Apartment, this paper seeks to replace old notions of astagnant female subject with one where women are vibrant figures of resistance, agency and change. It is mainly through the languageof the body as exemplified in the sound, gesture and ‘gaze’ that Djebar gives women a chance to be ‘visible,’ to represent themselvesand to speak with a voice that is unique and singular in its diversity from the norm, yet plural and multi-dimensional in its functionality androle.

Abstract

The fierce competition among multinationals to reduce cost has forced many organisations to shift their non core operations tolow cost and high quality destinations like India. This has resulted in exponential growth in the number of business process outsourcingcentres in India. It mainly deals with customer interaction services, human resources, data search/integration etc. under the aegis ofBusiness Process Outsourcing (BPO).The employees work in prolonged shifts round the clock. To provide real-time services to globalcustomers they have to compromise with their own biological clock. Consequently they become easy prey to various psychophysiologicalailments. Researches have revealed that psychological stress and its physiological symptoms are the most commonproblems amongst call-centre executives (Luce &amp; Juravich, 2002).Occupational Role Stress Scale (Pareek, 1983) will be used to find thelevel of role stress among the call centre employees. Student’s t-test will be used for analysis purpose. The study is expected to identifystress related issues being faced by call centre employees.

Abstract

We conducted a survey (n = 436) regarding consumer´s choice of sustainable transportation, toward a A survey wasconducted at the University of Granada (Spain) from May through August 2011, related to a system of bikes´ rental that has beenrecently introduced in the university community and whose expectations include its extension to the rest of the city of Granada. Thequestionnaire included items concerning attitude related to the behavior, individual´s perceived control, subjective norms and personalmoral norms, variables used in the Theory of Reasoned Action from Fishbein and Ajzen (1975), the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen&amp; Madden, 1986) and the Norm-Activation Theory (Schwartz, 1977). The main objective of this study was to examine those factors thatcould affect the transport choice behavior of consumers toward more sustainable energy consumption patterns, meaning the decision touse (or not to use) the bikes´ rental system by the university community. The results corroborate the hypothesis tested, and positivecorrelations between the variables and the behavioral intention.

Abstract

The European model of agriculture relies on the middle, usually typically family, farm. Romania does not fit this model, havingan unsuitable agricultural structure for a modern European state. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the differences between theEuropean model of agriculture and the Romanian agriculture. In Romania, the subsistence agriculture (many micro-farms, producing forself-consumption) and the agro-industrial agriculture (farms of hundreds even thousands of hectares, market oriented, relativelyadvanced), give a dual character to this important economic branch. The middle level agriculture is underdeveloped and uses only asmall percent of the agricultural area. The research method is the analysis of data; the study of the real convergence between theRomanian and the European Union’s agriculture implies a SWOT analysis.The main results reveal that the reform in the Romanianagriculture should include, among its priorities, the solving of the structural problem of the Romanian village, the development of themiddle level agriculture being an important aim. The implementation of the community regulations has to be accompanied by owndevelopment programs for the rural space and for the agro-food sector. Romania has to define its own strategy in order to be integratedin the community policy, strategy which must be sustained in the debates regarding the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, thetarget being the development of the Romanian agriculture.

Abstract

Who really pays attention to poetry, philosophy, painting or other art form? We rather seek for what is immediately needed orquickly consumable, what doesn't bother nor disturb us. Emotions and cultural products are strongly linked. But the perception of artdepends on how it impresses us. Art can confront us with a reality. In a civilization dominated by images, through the media, advertisingand virtual worlds, art, like life and death, is rarely valued. We approached on this study, the way in which college students - of bothsexes, from courses of management, history and psychology - interpreted the image/painting ‘Paradise: Ascent of the Blessed’, fromHieronymus Bosch, which alludes to death and beyond-death. We analyzed the thoughts, feelings, images and symbols that emergedfrom their answers, through open questions, after seeing the image/painting. Men revealed security, like they were watching forsomething they see as controllable and far away from them. Women expressed an active emotional involvement, as well as fear, beliefin God and hope in finding a path through the darkness, revealing an intense feeling of proximity before death and immortality. Studentsof psychology, in particular, revealed a more emotional reaction to the image/death, than the future historians. The conceptions of thefirst ones are closer to the women's perspectives, while the others resemble those of men. This work invited us to reflect aboutourselves, the power of images, death, and on what lies beyond death and life.
