Palmyra Fiber as Additional Materials on Solid Concrete Brick of Aggregate
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%.

<![CDATA[In the focus of the article are presented some of toponyms in the book of Prokopio of Cesarea "De Aedificiis" whichrefer to their strongholds or places situated near the Illyrian and Epirotic settlements. Different authors have noticed that in somecases, the toponyms are not associated with archaeological correct data and some of them are written with linguistic mistakes.These two gaps make it difficult analysis undertaken, but not impossible. On its part, the author of the article, has tried, alsorelying on other historical sources and various studies made by albanologists of different times, to give its opinion on thesetoponyms and achieve the important conclusions.]]>

<![CDATA[Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services sector comprises establishmentsperforming routine support activities for the day-to-day operations of other organizations. These essential activities are oftenundertaken in-house by establishments in many sectors of the economy. The establishments in this sector specialize in one ormore of these support activities and provide these services to clients in a variety of industries and, in some cases, tohouseholds. Activities performed include: office administration, hiring and placing of personnel, document preparation and similarclerical services, solicitation, collection, security and surveillance services, cleaning, and waste disposal services. This paperresearch provides information relating to employment and unemployment in waste management and remediation services. Whilemost data are obtained from employer or establishment surveys, information on industry unemployment comes from a nationalsurvey of households. The following tables present an overview of the industry including the number of jobs, the unemploymentrate of those previously employed in the industry, mass layoffs, data for occupations common to the industry, and projections ofoccupational employment change. We are gather information from Albanian projects and incentives on waste management. Whywaste management is still with problems in Albania? In this paper research we want to analyze the factors for promoting andrecycling the waste in Albania region.]]>

<![CDATA[This study was a one-group pretest-posttest experiment and aimed to investigate the effect of glossing on readingcomprehension and lexis acquisition of 30 Bangkok University students and explores their attitude towards the use of glossing.The instruments were the reading comprehension tests, and the questionnaire exploring attitude towards glossing. The pretestand posttest scores of the experimental group were calculated by descriptive statistics and compared by using a dependent t-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 glossing was at a high level. Moreover, the results from this study supportedthat using glossing helped the students remember vocabulary and can be a substitute for a dictionary consultation whenencountering low frequency words in a reading passage. Pedagogical implications into reading comprehension and lexisacquisition were suggested.]]>

<![CDATA[This study is part of a larger project designed to assess the effectiveness of the use of exergames in the teaching ofmotor activities. The project starts with an overview of the state of the art of exergames and the influence of psychologicalmodels of the movement in software design. The experimental section of the project involves the creation of 3 exergameseducational, of which:an exergame related to visuomotor integration, on the basis of tests as Bender Gestalt and VMI, anexergame dedicated to test, in augmented / virtual environments, some commonly accepted principles in motor control (speedaccuracytrade-off, Hick's law, stimulus – response compatibility, Fitts' law), and an exergame related to the acquisition ofcognitive skills through the involvement of the whole body (reading – writing skills). In this general framework, this study locatesitself as the scientific starting basis, providing an overview of the literature on exergames (from which does not seem to bepresent exergames specifically designed for use in teaching of motor activity) and a summary of the psychological models ofmovement]]>

<![CDATA[After the first encounter between the Occident and the non-white, non-Christian subjects in the fifteenth century, theWestern mind began to Otherize blacks through a deliberate exaggeration of their physical and sociocultural differences. Thisprocess of Otherization and inferiorization was reinforced by the West’s employment of a stereotypical representational strategywhich depicted the Negroid either as a noble child of nature or a demonic savage. In the pre-emancipation United States wherethe slave trade had turned into one of the most lucrative businesses of the day, these objectifying stereotypes were sopreponderant that they battered down and almost vanished the real black presence. By demoting blacks to a subhuman statusand portraying them as brutish, heathen and depraved, the dominant white society could easily justify the atrocious deedsperpetrated against blacks during the slavery era. Even after the emancipation, the extant demeaning stereotypes served aspowerful instruments in the hands of white dominators to impose discrimination and segregation on the subalternized blacks.This paper analyzes the roles of Protestantism, Capitalism and Social Darwinism in the formation and perpetuation ofdemeaning black stereotypes, and tries to demonstrate how these major religious, economic and scientific trends of the daynaturalized the institution of slavery and the pervasive discrimination against blacks.]]>
