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.

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to evaluate at a macro level the link that exists between different types of property crimes(theft, burglary, fraud, offences against the computer) and economic indicators in the 27 countries of the European Union.Crimes selected belong to ‘old’ and ‘new’ categories of property crimes. They are collected from the ‘the European Sourcebookof crime and criminal Justice statistics’ while the economic indicators are collected from two European surveys, EU-SILC andLFS. Variables related to the population structure (‘age’ and ‘gender’) are added in the analysis. Statistical techniques(correlation and multiple regression analysis) will be useful to build a framework of indicators which contributes to a betterunderstanding of the interactions between criminality and economic indicators. A parameterized model, function of the mainfactors of crime, will help to understand old and new categories of property crime and their potential directions in Europe.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide empirical data relating the verbal politeness strategies used by Italian and Spanishspeakers to one of the speech acts: complimenting. More specifically, the objective of the present study is to classify andcontrast the different resources used in the responses to the compliments analyzed, taking as independent variable thenationality of the participants. The data for the investigation was collected by carrying out a corpus of 400 responses tocompliments obtained from a questionnaire in which 100 Italian and Spanish participants had to react to compliments in variouseveryday situations. Afterwards, the responses were classified according to the different strategies and the percentage of thepresence or absence of the diverse typologies was determined from the answers obtained. The results reveal that both Spanishand Italian informants utilize as a preferential resource the acceptance of the compliment, but it is observed that there are somedifferences in the selection of variants of this superstrategy.

Abstract

Expressionism in literature was a revolutionary movement against realism and naturalism. As a twentieth centurymovement, it is the subject of the inner world. Like most artistic movements, it is applied to lots of art forms including Paintings,Architecture, Cinema, and Music. Dramatists like Elmer Rice and Eugene O'Neill introduced Expressionism to AmericanLiterature. This paper is a comparative study of O'Neill's The Hairy Ape and Emperor Jones based on expressionism viewpoint.Its aim is to find the expressionistic features and to compare the similarities and differences between these two works. Thefeatures and principles of expressionism in drama include: structure (for example, one-act play), main focus on protagonist andhis inner conflicts, tragic ending, unnamed minor characters, employing music and light (as two prominent features ofexpressionism), applying symbols and colors, monologue and soliloquy or telegraphic dialogue, etc. In this paper, these werefeatures of analysis. The research revealed the fact that there are similarities and differences between the two pieces of dramain question. Although the two plays, Emperor Jones and The Hairy Ape written by one author (Eugene O'Neill) and in one periodof his life (1920-1921), and both are known as expressionist works, still there are some differences in applying expressionisticfeatures. The similarities and differences are discussed followed by some suggestion for further research.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the financial and operational efficiency of the privatized firms in Nigeria. Data forthis study comes from secondary sources; specifically, Fact Book from the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Offer Prospectuses, aswell as published annual reports and financial statements of the privatized firms. Our sampled firms are drawn frommanufacturing, oil marketing, banking and insurance sub-sectors of the Nigerian economy. The period of analysis covers 5 yearsbefore, and 5 years after privatization. To test our predictions, we follow the techniques of Megginson et al. (1994) in order todetermine post privatization performance changes. We calculate the mean value of each variable for each firm over the pre andpost privatization periods, we then use the T- test and the Wilcoxon sign rank test as principal methods of testing for significantchanges in the variables. Results obtained from this study are mixed. Whereas some companies in our sample showimprovements in some indicators, other companies have shown decline in some indicators after privatization. However, in spitethe mixed results, the overall picture shows improvement in profitability for at least half of the firms in our sample. Overall, wemay conclude that our results provide little evidence that privatization has caused significant improvement by all indicators.

Abstract

Writing, unlike speaking, is not an ability we acquire naturally, even in our first language - it has to be taught. UnlessL2 HI Writers learners are explicitly taught how to write in the new language, their writing skills are likely to get left behind asalready their speaking skills are not naturally developed. But teaching writing is not just about grammar, spelling, or themechanics of the Roman alphabet. Learners also need to be aware of and use the conventions of the genre in the newlanguage. Case studies in second language (L2) writing with hearing students also reveal how difficult it is for non-nativeEnglish-speaking (NNES) students to write in English despite their time and effort invested in writing and high English languagetest scores. Present study explored H.I students’ needs and perceptions that would eventually lead to offer the right assistance.Extending the line of previous research, this study investigated the H.I students’ perceptions and views of an academic writingcourse designed by the Punjab Text Book Board.

Abstract

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the national economy of Pakistan. 65% of total population of Pakistan is living invillages and their major source of livelihood depends upon agriculture. Pakistan has the largest world irrigation system itsirrigation strength three times more than that of Russia. But unfortunately, Pakistani farmers are facing serious water shortageproblem in these days. The main objectives of the present study were to explore the effects of scarcity of canal water on theyield of different type of major crops and assess the affect of ground water on crops and its socio economic implication on thefarmers’ lives. A sample of 160 household farmers was selected through multistage sampling techniques. Specifically throughthis study, farmers’ survival due to the shortage of irrigation water highly depends upon tube well water. Due to this phenomenonnot only farmers have to pay lot of money in the form of fuel but also tube well water negatively affects the crops yield. Theresearchers also found out the socio economic problems due to the water crises such as irrigation water disputes, lesscultivation, lack of interest of livestock and these notions also badly affect their crops yield as well as their socio economiccondition.

Abstract

This study examines the constraints limiting lending institutions’ participation in housing finance supply in the WestAfrican region. It also recommends actions necessary for addressing these constraints. It is based on regression analysis ofsecondary data related to factors necessary for lending institutions’ participation in formal housing finance supply. The ratio ofthe private credit to GDP of West African countries between 2008 and 2010 is regressed against the independent variablesInflation rate, procedures to register property, time to register property, cost to register property, strength of legal right index anddepth of credit information system. The private to credit ratio is used as a proxy for the mortgage to GDP ratio due to lack ofaccess to data for most of the West African countries. The regression analysis showed that two factors: ‘depth of creditinformation system’ and ‘strength of legal right index’ are statistically significant to explain the lack of depth of the private credit toGDP ratios in the region. It is concluded that the housing market across several West African countries could be strengthened ifthe governments act to substantially improve the legal strength of lenders is increased through stronger foreclosure laws, andwhere lenders can effectively access, collect, share and disseminate credit information on prospective borrowers in the region.This can be addressed by setting up institutions to convert credit information from informal thrift and savings societies which areactive in the region, to formal private and public credit bureaus.

Abstract

Latin language in Albania is a rare language studied and confined just at the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Historyand Philology (Department of Albanian language and Literature and Department of History), Faculty of Foreign Languages.Several researchers and linguists, such as I. Zamputi, P. Gjeci, K. Cipo, R. Andoni, H. Subashi, K. Qiriazati, E. Paço and N.Basha have undertaken serious attempts at designing the programs on Latin language teaching targeted at students of theFaculties due to the needs that Latin learning poses in this domain. The texts have been designed in terms of the theoretical andpractical aspects, students’ needs and in line with a better acquisition of the other courses related to Latin and Old Greeklanguages learning. This article will lay an emphasis on the different methods of Latin teaching, aspects of an accuratetranslatability of the medical terminology and some suggestions related to different kinds of exercises used at school aiming at abetter acquisition of the courses related and dependent on Latin learning incorporated at the Faculty of Medicine.
