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

This paper makes an attempt to show the effectiveness of mind mapping technique as a vocabulary storage method.The study was a one-group pretest-posttest experiment and aimed to investigate the effect of mind mapping technique onvocabularies learning of 40 Bangkok University students and explore their attitude towards the use of mind mapping technique.The instruments were the vocabulary tests, and the questionnaire exploring attitude towards mind mapping technique. Thepretest and posttest scores of the experimental group were calculated for descriptive statistics and compared using a dependentt-Test measure. It was found that students obtained higher scores for the posttest than the pretest scores at the 0.05 level ofsignificance. In addition, their attitude towards using the mind mapping technique was at a high level. Moreover, the results fromthis study supported that using mind mapping technique helped the students store a new bunch of vocabularies, and motivatedthem to learn English language.

Abstract

This study identifies the preferred leadership styles of students enrolled in principal preparation programs andcompares the styles identified by traditional public school teachers and charter school teachers who seek principal certification.Participative leadership and Goal Oriented leadership were identified as the predominant styles. Seventy-five per cent ofteachers of traditional public schools identified one of these styles and 81% of teachers from charter schools identified one ofthese styles indicating both groups have similar preferred styles. Surprisingly, few of the participants in either group of the studywere aligned with Visionary Leadership or Change Leadership. Although people have a preferred leadership style based onpersonality traits, it is possible to learn the skills needed for other leadership styles. The results of this study indicate emphasisshould be placed on developing visionary leadership skills and change leadership skills. Hoyle (2007) emphasized theimportance of understanding why some of our educational leadership program graduates fail to be successful in the field. Whileit is important to realize that school leaders must have good managerial skills as well as good leadership skills this researchindicates students come to leadership preparation programs with a predisposition to learn management skills. Based on thisresearch, it may be that educational leadership programs are not recognizing the need to provide specific learning approachesthat lead to the development of transformational leaders.

Abstract

Linguistic communication was born as a necessity of human beings to communicate and to agree with one-other.According to Eduard Sapir, languages, like cultures, often turn out to be not self-sufficient systems – that is why the necessity foreconomic, commercial and political exchanges makes is obligatorily for human beings to communicate with each-other. Suchcommunication brings out linguistic interferences, which are expressed through linguistic loans from one language to another,and causes partial changes of the language that embrace these loans. It is evident that thanks to bilingual speakers, thelinguistic contacts and the linguistics loans happen. The linguistic contacts may happen in more various situations, in family, as itis the case of exogamy (a social arrangement where marriage is allowed only outside of a social/ethnic group), with theneighbours, at work etc. and may be of various intensity. In the majority of the cases, these contacts happen as a product ofindividual or group’s confrontation in a communicative discourse where various languages meet. Nowadays, Albanian languageis under the influence of foreign languages, English in particular and above all Italian and Greek – because of a considerablenumber of Albanians who have immigrated to Italy and Greece. There have been taken a lot of borrowings that do not exist inthe Albanian linguistic bedrock and there is a tendency that others will be borrowed more and more. Many denominations fromcomputational science, finance, market economy, modern arts etc, that have done remarkable progress, come into Albanianalong with the concepts they express filling up gaps of the lexicon. Loan words and calques may be grouped into specificsemantic fields where they appear more frequently

Abstract

This paper is intended as a critical examination of pro-life discursive practices. It is based on ethnographic researchconducted in Lombardia (northern Italy) among a group of pro-life activists. Pro-life activism in Italy has a predominantly Catholicmatrix and subjects who participated in my research mainly come from a Catholic background. However, their discursivestrategies are not framed in religious terms. Although informed by ethical concerns, pro-life activists make a great use ofscientific material (images and descriptions of intrauterine development) to advocate their idea of the fetus as a human beingwith a right to life and to prove that subjectivity precedes birth. In this paper I consider the empirical and theoretical implicationsof the overlapping of moral issues and scientific knowledge. On one hand, pro-life activists emphasize the similarities betweenthe fetus and the newborn child; they also attribute the unborn some of the characteristics of the Western-informed notion ofperson: individuality, autonomy, the ability to communicate and interact, and some form of consciousness. I argue that thedefinition of fetus as person relies on a teleology of vital processes that presupposes a specific moral order. On the other hand,pro-life discursive practices allow to reconsider the uses of the Western idea of the person at the margins of human life and toarticulate a critical approach to the biologization of the abortion debate.

Abstract

In the past, Plumeria was known as Lantom in Thailand. It was prohibited for the common man to grow this flower intheir house because it was thought that it may bring sorrow and misfortune to family members. Hence, Lantom was restricted toplanting in public places. Later, the associated meaning of sorrow was lessened as the artistic and aesthetic functions ofPlumeria became prevalent. Plumeria was introduced into common places i.e. homes, gardens, spas, resorts, restaurants,coffee shops, and the flower’s meaning significantly changed as well as it was renamed Lelawadee, which means beautifulbranching pattern, in order to better align with its new functions. This paper is to explore a changing identity of Plumeria in Thaisociety based on the meaning, name, usage, and suitable planting places. The data regarding to Plumeria history and Plumeriain Thai people’s everyday life which derived from the documents and an interview with landscape architecture was analyzed viathe concepts of globalization and consumerism. The author found that the position of Plumeria was changed by global trends: aconcept of landscape and an appreciation of leisure. As an object of consumption concerning its design and style, Plumeriadisplays signs of relaxation, chic, stylishness, Thainess, and Baliness.

Abstract

Epileptic seizures are frequent in children with ASD with a reported prevalence between 7% and 46%. These figuresare higher than those reported for the normal pediatric population but the true prevalence remains uncertain because studiesexamining this have included comorbid conditions.Aim: Study the prevalence of epilepsy in children diagnosed with ASD.Methods: Retrospective study of 30 children diagnosed with ASD in the National Center for Growth, Development andRehabilitation of Children. The clinical history and electroencephalograms of these children were reviewed. The children werefrom 2 years old until 8 years old.Results: 7 out of 30 children diagnosed with ASD were also diagnosed with epilepsy orabnormal electroencephalograms with a prevalence of 23%. These children showed more profound intellectual impairment andregression in cognitive development than those with ASD, but no epilepsy. Conclusion: ASD in early childhood is associated withhigh rate of epilepsy . These findings suggest that neurological investigative techniques such as EEG should be consideredduring evaluation of children with ASD with more impaired cognition.

Abstract

In the case LCB v United Kingdom the European Court of Human Rights (Court) noted that: “the first sentence ofArticle 2 (of European Convention on Human Rights) enjoins the State not only to refrain from the intentional and unlawful takingof life, but also to take appropriate steps to safeguard the lives of those within its jurisdiction.” In the case Cyprus v Turkey theCourt observed that:“an issue may arise under Article 2 of the Convention where it is shown that the authorities of a ContractingState put an individual’s life at risk through the denial of health care which they have undertaken to make available to thepopulation generally.”It follows that the obligation to protect life has been extended in the sphere of health care by the Court. Inthis regard, the paper attempts to determine the existence, scope and breach of the positive obligation regarding provision ofhealth care under Article 2 of the ECHR based on the jurisprudence (case-law) of the Court.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to make an exploration of the experiences of new mothers with postpartumdepression symptoms. This study focuses on the perceptions of new mothers of the relationship they have with themselves, thenewborn, and their close family members. The study evaluates the importance of social support in development of postpartumdepression and facing stressful psychosocial factors. The study was conducted in Tirana and the target group was made of newmothers, six weeks to one year after birth. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to asses post partumdepression. Significant Others Scale (SOS) was used to asses social support. In depth interviews are used to obtain informationon the experiences of women with PPD.Results of the study showed lack of information related to PPD. Interviews provided a lotof information related to the situation of new mothers with PPD and the factors that may have affected their condition. Such are:child health, financial problems, problems with the spouse, and lack of social support. Social support as one of the mainvariables in the study presented was an important factor in the development of PPD. The study showed a connection betweenlack of social support and PPD.This study revealed skepticism of new mothers with PPD symptoms to seek specialist help andto talk about their problems with people outside of the family.The study confirmed the fact that post partum depression iscurrently a problem for new mothers.

Abstract

This paper takes in consideration our hometown city, Durres. It is the second largest city of Albania, and the mostancient one. Durres is located in the north-western part of the Western Lowland of Albania. The historical development of the cityof Durres is rooted in early connection with other Albanian and foreign cities, because of its suitable location in the region. Theport of Durres is the biggest port in Albania, in which export and import processes is regularly handled. This paper includes ahistorical analysis of Durres city, looked under city’s development since the period after the World War II until nowadays. Asmany other major Albanian cities, Durres has passed through an uncontrolled urban development in the last twenty years. Thechange of mono system into pluralism, from 1990, and the application of the economical reforms of the trade were accompaniedwith the appearance of many problems. Regarding to the urban city transformation, the period of transition led to a high cityurban growth and densification. Illegal buildings were constructed in previously green areas, such as in the old beach. Is thisuncontrolled urban development also influenced the informal settlements in industrial zones, such as the one in Spitalla, PortoRomano, and Keneta. Ongoing these deep change processes, unemployment rate has suffered significant decline. Through atable we can demostate the city life cycle of Durres city. Moreover, analyzing the competitive capacities of Durres, we make acompetitiveness analysis of Durres city with two other national and regional competitive cities: Tirana and Istanbul, highlightingthe stong and weak points of these capitals.
