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.

Abstract

Feminism, originating in late 19th century, is a cover term for a series of movements which seek to define, establish and defend equal rights for women. It focuses on the women's issues and their problems in the society and aims at overcoming their problems. In the three main waves of feminism, many feminists such as Virginia Wolf, Simone de Beauvoir, and Kate Millet aired their views in their popular and famous books. This article deals with the application of feminist criticism to The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, considering Simone de Beauvoir's ideas based on her Second Sex. Many sentences and phrases are quoted through the article to illustrate the women's weakness and the men's power, the notion usually called “men’s control of the dominant discourse” in Beauvoir's words. There are some keys in the story showing that women are not satisfied with their ways of lives and try to change their current situation.

Abstract

In South-Italy the brigandage is a complex phenomenon, deeply popular and culturally reactionary: a “greatbrigandage” emerged in dangerous and structural forms after the fall of the last Bourbon king and the Italian unification under theSavoy dynasty, in 1861. From the “Mille” expedition and the conquest of redshirts leaded by Garibaldi, the Southern Army andthe Italian Army fought against the brigandage as a real insurgency movement supported by Bourbons’ loyalists and Catholicenvironments. In the campaign of banditism’s repression a particular case was the employment of volunteers, as the formerGaribaldi’s Hungarian Legion. From the General Staff Army’s Historical Archive the documents show both Command’s strategyand local tactics in the Hungarian practices. The concentration of the legionaries in Nocera (March 1861) and the growingnumber of effectives in few months (less than 1 thousand) gave the opportunity of their employment for more than 1 year in alarge area of Southern regions. The Hungarian legionaries’ mutiny, in July 1862, rised at the same time of the Garibaldi’sexpedition from South to Rome, blocked in August at the Aspromonte. After the disarm of the soldiers, the calling back to Torinomeant the risk of his dissolution. Only a complete reorganization, in 1863, allowed to employ back a new Legion until 1867.

Abstract

The literature on the generic features of academic discourse has revealed that the communicative purposes ofdifferent sections of research reports (e.g. research articles) affect the degree of tentativeness, flexibility, and authorialengagement realized by various linguistic resources. Following this assumption, a corpus of 32 research articles in the field ofapplied linguistics were analyzed in order to find out both the cross-sectional (i.e. Introduction-Methodology-Results-Discussion/Conclusion) variations in the use of metadiscourse – as a key tool for establishing interpersonal relationships inacademic writing. Hyland’s (2005) taxonomy of metadiscourse was applied to analyze the data set. The findings of the studyrevealed that the authors utilized interpersonal features differently in the four rhetorical atmospheres of their texts. Writerstended to employ high frequency of interactive metadiscourse resources in the introduction section of their articles, while in thediscussion/conclusion section writers utilized more interactional resources. The findings clearly indicate that the differences inthe discoursal functions of different sections of a research report play a significant role in writers’ fashioning of interactive andinteractional features. The results of this study can be drawn on in academic writing courses for research students and novicewriters in order to facilitate their achievement in academic writing.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine Zimbabwean junior secondary school students’ perceptions of theirclassroom environment in science and to investigate relationships between these perceptions and students’ attitudes towardscience. The study also aimed to investigate differences in students’ attitudes toward science by gender, school location. Datawere collected from 1728 Zimbabwean junior secondary school science students in 10 Kwekwe district schools. Data werecollected with an adapted and modified version of the “What is Happening in This Classroom” (WIHIC) instrument and the “Testof Science Related Attitudes” (TOSRA). The study confirmed that the Zimbabwean version of the modified WIHIC is a valid andreliable instrument for measuring the classroom learning environment in the Zimbabwean educational context. Significantdifferences between students’ perceptions of the actual and preferred learning environment were shown to exist with studentstending to prefer a more favorable classroom learning environment than the one which they actually are experiencing. Femalestudents generally hold more positive perceptions of the learning environments than their male counterparts. The findings alsorevealed that student’ perceptions of the classroom learning environment depending on the schools’ locality, with students inrural schools holding less favorable perceptions than students in urban schools for all seven WIHIC scales. Correlation andregression analyses revealed that students’ perceptions of their learning environment in science were significantly associatedwith their attitudes.

Abstract

Environmental education has been accepted and applied for encouraging the global citizens to take a responsiblepractice through their behavior changing in daily life activity. This might be an effective and rapid change to decrease thegreenhouse gases via the awareness raising, attitude and belief adjusting, skill and participation increasing including realpractice in daily living.The populations were 35,010 undergraduate students of the first semester of academic year 2011 ofMahasarakham University. The simple random sampling was used to collect the sample for 450 undergraduate students withproportion according to fields of study. The questionnaire was employed as instrument for data collecting. LISREL was used formodel verification. Results illustrated as Equation 1and 2 as followings. Considering on structural model confirmatory factorswas able to explain the variation of endogenous factors of Environmental Education (EE) to caused Environmental Behaviors forGlobal Warming Alleviation (BEH) with 97.5 percents and the variation of endogenous factor of Environmental Education (EE)with 90.5 percents. Therefore, the equation 1 and 2 can be written as followings.BEH = 0.56 *PsT + 0.38*PsS + 0.52* EE …………..…………..(1)(R2 = 0.975)EE = 0.45*PsT + 0.47*PsS …………………..…………..………..(2)( R2 = 0.905)
