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.

Abstract

Mass media play a determinant role in the dissemination and construction of social threats and risks. Studies haveshown that public learns a lot of things about science through consuming mass media news. The present paper examines mediadiscourse about the environmental risk and the importance of the environment communication. In order to perform this analysiswe have selected the environmental programs on portuguese television broadcasted between january 2010 and december 2011.This sample of programs has been recorded and viewed in order to select the news we wanted to analysis. We have selected allthe pieces of news that either directly relate to any environmental problem (pollution, climate change, global warming…) or referin any other way to the environment and the nature (about the weather, earthquakes, hurricanes or other meteorological event).Qualitative techniques of analysis have been applied, in order to categorize the information, looking for common and divergentdiscourses at some dimensions, such as: causes; consequences; possible solutions; and discourses. The media have toenhance environmental science communication, since within the majority of portuguese public sphere this is the only way ofenvironmental knowledge.

Abstract

It has been held that science and literature stand at opposite poles. The fact that students at King Mongkut’sUniversity Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), a university in Thailand which is known for science and engineering, have never hada chance to be exposed to literature through the English courses offered by the university seems to confirm this belief. Justrecently Reading Appreciation was offered as an elective course. The study then was conducted to investigate ways in which ateacher employs scaffolding techniques to help students, with no literature background and for some even with no interest,approach literary works critically. The study was framed by the Vygotskian concepts of scaffolding coined by the “zone ofproximal development” that posits that children under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers can developthemselves more successfully. Data in this study were derived from the recordings of the teacher-student interaction in ReadingAppreciation Course and the students’ journals. The focus of this study consisted of 6 science and engineering students.Looking at a variety of types of scaffolds used in class based on cognitive and linguistic aspects, the study showed that throughscaffolding literature can be made appealing to science and engineering students and they can respond to literature critically.

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) investigate the use of reading strategies of second-year students at BangkokUniversity 2) compare the use of reading strategies between the achievers and underachievers 3) compare the use of readingstrategies of second-year students who have different years of studying English and different reading behavior outside of class.The instruments used for collecting data were a questionnaire and an in-depth interview. Proportional stratified random samplingwas employed to formulate a sample of 370 students from nine faculties of Bangkok University. The data were statisticallyanalyzed in terms of mean and standard deviation. A t-test analysis was used to find the difference between the achievers andunderachievers on the use of reading strategies. In addition, One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare theuse of reading strategies of students with different years of studying English and different reading behavior outside of class. Forthe in-depth interview, six students with highest scores and six with the lowest scores are randomized through simple randomsampling technique to give their opinions on three questions provided, and the data were collected to assure the results of thestudy. The results of this study showed that the overall usage of reading strategies of Bangkok University students was at amedium level, and significant differences existed in reading strategies usage of three independent variables : 1) the achieversand underachiever 2) the students with different years of studying English 3) the students with different reading behavior outsideof class. The findings of this research would help the teachers to improve the process and material for teaching and learningreading strategies and raise awareness of reading strategies among the students in order to enhance the students’ readingcomprehension. Pedagogical implications into reading strategies were suggested.

Abstract

The genetic structure of Fieri population was analyzed through the distribution of surnames obtained by a sample of3’471 marriages registered in the period 1946-2006. The data were recorded for every five years starting from 1946 (than 1951,1956 and so on) to 2006. Estimations of Fisher’s 􀄮, an indicator of richness of surnames, and 􀈞 of Karlin-McGregor, indicator ofmigration rates, were obtained for both natives and immigrants. These indicators showed higher values in immigrants. The samewas demonstrated even by log2k-log2S regression line. Two different estimations of relationships between all possiblecombinations of cohorts born in nine different decades were obtained through Euclidean distance and Lasker’s coefficient ofrelationship, respectively. Comparisons of Ft, coefficient of total inbreeding and Fisher’s 􀄮 indicated that any decrease of Ft wasfollowed by an increase of 􀄮 as the result of recent migration.

Abstract

The research starts from the theory of environmental literary criticism and it uses its methodology in the analysis ofsome Luigi Pirandello's short stories. In a literary text, the ecocriticism analyzes the hierarchical order imposed by the centennialdictatorship of some members of the „vertical“ society. This order also inevitably includes some outcast elements which becomemarginalized by the policy of centralism, and the ecocriticism methodology permits the reader to concentrate on these elements.If we try to conceive the concept of the world not exclusively anthropocentric, it means that a man should interact with the nature,which will lead to the horizontal vision of the society. In this work the focus is on the Pirandello's characters which are describedas marginalized, exposed to the atrocities of the social and moral extermination. These characters are assigned the roles ofvictims, since subject to the discriminatory mechanism. The analysis aims to research whether in Pirandello's texts it is possible,by applying the ecocritical methods, to regain the balance among the characters and to equalize all the members of „Pirandello'sliterary society“.

Abstract

Variations in language, besides other factors, seem to be direct and significant products of gender variable. Thedivision of society into men and women, both being different and complex, is reflected in various forms in language which is themost important means of communication among them. The article will focus on variations related to gender of speakers. It willreveal differences that are found in the language of women and men, and will link these differences with the social roles that areassigned to them in Albanian society (and other countries) as well as with the socio-cultural environment where they live. Hencewe will present gender-related pecularities that give insight into the position of women and their status. It appears that rules laidupon them have made their language more hesitant, indirect and euphemistic. However, their speech inevitably reveals theirexpressive and emotional nature especially while relating to their children.

Abstract

After the First World War, the internal situation in Albania was very heavy. Education in Albania developed under theinfluence Italians, Austro – Hungarians and French in areas where they had control during war. By creating Lushnjagovernment, education problems begin to be treated with priority by the Albanian State.Thus the period from 1920 to 1935,characterized by a long struggle for unification, nationality and secularism of the school system. In this period, three pedagogicalcongresses were formed (1920, 1922, 1924) as well as an educational reform that will be entered in the history of Albanianeducation as the "Ivanaj reform." As unification, nationalism and secularism served to aid the emancipation and development ofeducation in Albania’s school system and society; for this reason, it is important to research, understand, and acknowledge thisperiod. Many studies have addressed the problems of secularism and nationalization within school unification and their effortshave been recognized; however, we think it would be helpful to make a new analytical overview of these problems whichmanifested the development of education in the aforementioned period based on previous studies and research.

Abstract

The historical novel and Andrea Camilleri. A marriage that takes place through works by several different periods ofmodern history and contemporary, the unification of Italy, Sicily in the Eighteenth century, the Fascist period, today's world. TheSicilian writer, ironically, many environmental novels in the important moments of our national history, with particular attention tothe problems of the south. The gap between North - South and industrialized - backlog characterizes much of his historicalnovels, continuing his studies of Pasquale Villari (1827 - 1917), among the first historians interested in the phenomenon. Sicily,when he was a kingdom without a crown, had dreamed of a place in Europe. Now, fifty years from Unity, must fight to keep hisplace in Italy. Even a hundred years later, today, the problem not only of Sicily, but throughout the South is still a problem.

Abstract

The object of this study is to investigate the impact of behavioural problems on the special needs of pupils and tocome up with some teaching strategies well-suited to these needs. The judgements that teachers make about the special needsof pupils are influenced by their distinctive behavior and movements, the way their attention is distracted and their inability towork in groups. The successful integration of children with learning difficulties depends less on the gravity of the learningproblems and is more influenced by the behaviour of the child. If the child follows the rules of his school, he/she does not troublethe teachers and fellow-students, is keen to participate and exhibits a high level of self-management and concentration whileperforming his tasks. This study will focus on the most common problems found in schools: aggressive behaviour, a low level ofconcentration, emotional problems, etc. Such behaviour is called primary not only because of its frequency, but also because ofits consequences on the learning of the student himself and that of his fellow-student. The methods and strategies that modifybehaviour like: the participation of students, the concentration of attention, the management of difficult situations, the cultivationof a good opinion of oneself influence the achievements of the students and the way they use their time at school.
