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

This paper is an excerpt from my Ph.D. dissertation. In my thesis I investigated Nationalism and Localism in Goriziathrough history and politics. In this brief version of the paper I present some of the results of my inquiry on Friulan community ofGorizia. After a short description of Friulan culture and language, I will discuss the role of Friulan culture in Gorizia in mediatingbetween national feelings and sense of local belonging. Gorizia is a city located on the border between Italy and Slovenia.Friulans, Italians, Slovenians and Germans cohabitated peacefully in the city until the rise of Nationalisms and the cruelty ofTotalitarianisms led to the building of the modern borders and to the separation of the groups. Friulans are catholic as theSlovenes and latin speakers as the Italians. As for the Slovene minority, they struggled to defende their culture and languagefrom Italianisation. On the same time, the protagonists of Gorizian Italian Irredentism were also Friulans, and many Friulans areproud to be Italian. Through the example of some semi structured interviews I carried on in Spring 2007, I will picture the Friulanfringe of Gorizia in the nowadays.

Abstract

The collapse of the communist bloc meant, the direction of former communist countries toward systems withdemocratic structure. The processes of radical transformations in the economy and politics, made the societies of thesecountries face with major challenges and problems. With the restoration of freedom and human rights, almost all Eastern blocsocieties were confronting problems carrying in itself the issue of minorities, considered as destabilizing factors in the case ofpoor management. Given this, the paper aims to review some of the key trends and policies toward national minorities inAlbania, as part of the Balkans, focusing particularly on the Greek minority that constitute the minority with the largestpopulation. The focus of attention to the Albanian legislation will give us a clearer picture of the rights and freedoms that areguaranteed to minorities in Albania, and the spaces that were created for inclusion in the government level and to influence thevarious decision-making processes. Research of this issue covers the period 1990-2006.

Abstract

The regional dialects are not all equally oriented toward the standard language. The orientation towards the prestigelanguage is appropriated to the life of each of the dialects. The more the gap between the standard language (the generalAlbanian) and the provincial dialects, a side or of the Diaspora in general, the greater become the semantic differences, thusincreasing the difficulty in communication. What attracted us most is the pace of change.A considerable weight in developingand changing all linguistic varieties have mainly the extra lingual factors. There are these factors that make some of the dialecthave the development towards general Albanian slower in comparison with other dialects. A typical example of dialects toconsider is the psychological factor as well, which relates to the cause of the displacement of these populations with the samefate, is not the same, but determines them the same. Privilege for such dialect is the fact that they are innovative andconservative at the same time, so there is a convergent relation between the new and the old generations. On the other hand,this relationship is never seen outside the report provincial culture- civic culture, as language itself can not be seen outside thereport language - culture, language - thought. So the starting point for all problems in sociolinguistic perspective is the way thesecommunities are integrated within the host communities.

Abstract

The establishment of the communist regime in Romania in 1945 marked the beginning of a series of profoundtransformations in the Romanian political and social life. These changes also affected the field of sports activities, which were, atthe time, at the initial point of their institutional organization.Our research aims at analyzing, in a critical manner, the mainlegislative regulations regarding sports life implemented between 1945-1965. Their main goal was to promote the benefits ofpracticing physical activities regularly, not only by performance sportsmen, but also by the majority of the population. Thisinitiative matched the international tendency commonly called “sports for all”, advertised by the founding-father of modernOlympic games – Pierre de Coubertin. The laws issued by the communist authorities stipulated the establishment of nationalinstitutions and organizations in charge with the situation of the Romanian sports field, with the financial aspects requested bysuch endeavor and with the funding provided by the government. Unfortunately, many of the objectives formulated in these lawswere left only in their initial form or were completed much later that initially intended.

Abstract

Statistically, one in three families has a member diagnosed with cancer at one point in life (Veach and Nicholas,1998), however other than the sick member of the family, it has been noticed that the rest of the family is emotionally touched bythis deviation from their regular lives. Couple relationships in these cases and especially the psychological state of the patienthave been crucial to researchers. Other members of the family, such as the children, are often disregarded and not dealt withthe same endeavor as the couple or the cancer patient. Young children for instance, often reveal signs of somatic andpsychological disorders associated with typical behaviors to attract attention. This psychological study focuses on the analysis ofthese typical behaviors that lead to the Inferiority Complex generated in children 7-9 years of age who have a parent diagnosedwith cancer. It identifies two conditions that bring to the development of this complex; these being the self-evaluation of the childin this period, and the interactions and relationships with peers in school. Another purpose is to identify and study compensativeperfectionist behaviors that these children activate by taking more responsibility upon them and exchanging roles in the family,from a parent-child to a child-parent environment and vice versa. Variables that can influence the behavioral changes includechild gender, sick parent, child’s caretaker (nanny) etc. On the other hand this is the first psychological analysis of this problemin Albanian, targeting all social classes making it more understandable to parents and families in such conditions. Theparticipants in this study were seven families who have children of age 7 – 9 and one parent diagnosed with cancer. The familiesare patients at the Oncologic Hospital Mother Teresa, Tirana. Two of them have a member hospitalized as a result of chirurgicalintervention and the other five have patients who have regular visits to the hospital due to medical examinations orchemotherapy. Three methods were used to measure the inferiority complex. They are: “Rosenberg’s self-evaluation”, “PRQ”and a semi structured interview for identifying the parent-child relationship and the perfectionist behaviors that compensate theinferiority complex. This study shows that children, knowing the situation the family is in and wanting to get attention, act withperfectionist ideas and try to relieve burden from their parents. However, the more they go on with these behaviors the morethey feel left out and reach a point of very low self-esteem. In this article it is shown how one event leads to another and a verystrong and obvious base is formed for the formation of the inferiority complex. The article also advises families to prevent thiscondition by consulting with a psychologist.

Abstract

The article is based on my investigation in three directions revealing the main reasons for a contemporary arteducation program: the state of Albanian art education program in school, my research through an initial art project for childrenand teenagers with disabilities, and my program of art education for students in Pedagogy at the Faculty of Education,“Aleksandër Moisiu” University, Durrës, Albania.By focusing on the informative value of art and its role for psychological, mentaland cognitive development of personality, the analyses have the purpose to prove that Albanian art education is a case forchange. Albanian school has need of appropriately educated and trained teachers. The effective theoretical and practicalassistance of eligible art educators can play a key role in educating children and teenagers in competencies and skills in arts bywhich they can form their voice to express their particular experiences in variety of human conditions. This logically results in theuniversity education program in arts for students in pedagogy as future school teachers. The conclusions convincinglyemphasize the chances for success in quality of contemporary arts education. Improving its effectiveness through a more flexiblebetween the theory and practice pedagogy should be the base for an education project with long-term investment.

Abstract

The present study analyzes the necessity of alternative energy sources for Albania, as a developing country, and theirimpact on the economy. If Albanian economy will directly depending on the use of hydro energy, it simply will not have enoughenergy capacity for its population. Renewable energy sources have the potential to make a large contribution to Albania’ssustainable and independent energy future. Renewable energy production requires large investments, which increases theproduction cost of energy. Nevertheless “high cost” investment should not impede the development of Albania in this sectorsince the benefit is much greater than the “cost”. Any kind of investment in renewable energy such as a solar energy, windenergy, biomass, geothermal energy etc is profitable. Many other countries of Europe have started years ago investment inrenewable. Albania’s geographical position favors investment in this field. Prospects in this sector require setting feed-in tariffsin the new RE law to create facilities not only in investment but also to subsidize the excess energy obtained.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the analytical representation of the historical, political and diplomatic situation that hasaccompanied the internal political situation in Albania and the position held by the Italian Government during the years 1920-1924. The Years period 1920-1924 reflects a chaotic state of governance in Albania, characterized by a political struggle, whichhad two key figures as the protagonist of these years, Fan Noli and Ahmet Zogu. This instability was evident if we take intoaccount the fact that from January 1920 until June 1924 in Albania was formed 12 different governments. The Albanian politicalsituation appeared somewhat confused by the tightening of the contrasts between the two great currents, liberal andconservative, in which he divided the Albanian political spectrum. During this period of confrontation both political camps inAlbania made the request for support by the Italian Government. The Government of Italy during this period took a decision notto intervene in the internal affairs of Albania, and this attitude also asked to keep Yugoslavia, under the Agreement concludedwith the Belgrade Government in June 1924. The position of Italy to Albania will change after the arrival to power of Mr. AhmetZogu, who despite that came to power aided by Yugoslavia, sought to recover the good relations with Italy, from where hereceived a guarantee of economic, political and military. This assistance provided will help the country emerge from the crisis,where she was, but also would ensure its long-term power, and would be a powerful deterrent against countries like Greece andYugoslavia.
