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

Women represent about fifty percent of the world’s population yet own less than one percent of the world’s property.Available literature reveals that housing has hitherto been seen as a male resource with women having access only to its useand content. A concept rooted in patriarchy and strengthened by societal norms. By this, women are usually not consulted duringthe various housing development processes. They are expected to adapt, even when they are major users and consumers ofhousing facilities and infrastructure. While the home-bound women devote 95.0% of their working hours to cleaning andmaintaining their environment, the working class and the female heads of households experience functional problems accessinghousing facilities and services in order to fulfill their socially and domestically accepted roles. In this regard, the major thrust ofthis research work is to review substantive and empirical evidences available in past literatures to set up a basis of suggestingthe conceptualization of women and housing as a distinct policy domain. Areas of focus in this paper therefore include housingdesign and planning, building materials production and supply, housing facilities and management. The paper recommends thatsince women have both ‘strategic’ and ‘political’ housing needs, the scope or rationale of women housing need should be treatedseparately from those of men’s or housing for all the poor.

Abstract

Hawthorne’s ‘The Birthmark’ is one of his short stories whose theme falls among the domain of experimenting humannature in the fields of art, religion, and science. Regardless of the birthmark itself which represents the Original Sin, a conflictbetween masculine attitude and feminine perspective toward perfection and beauty is artfully manifested in this story. The paperstudy employs the notions of the beautiful and the sublime according to Immanuel Kant’s Observations on the Feeling of theBeautiful and Sublime in which he puts forward the idea that different sexes possess different perceptions of events andenvironment. From his viewpoint, women are mostly capable to feel the beautiful and sympathy, while men, with their tendencyto perfection, possess and convey the feeling of the sublime. Several events, disputes and descriptions in ‘The Birthmark’,clearly exemplify women’s zeal for beauty and men’s seeking the perfection. Hawthorne proves that oversensitivity to perfectionand sublimity can be a destructive force for the beautiful. One should not defy nature to reconcile his or her internal desires.Within the quest to win perfection by means of limited power of science, the only winner is true love.

Abstract

The evaluation of individual performance has always been an element for the motivation of the employees of the public administration and the increase of its performance. In this study there are efforts done to point out some problems of the evaluation of individual performance as a part of the organization’s culture, which affects the increase of efficiency and consists of the key for a successful management of the public administration. The concept of evaluation must be considered as a psycho-social and administrative process which has its own impacts on the motivation and performance of the public administration. The right relations between them, increase of the evaluation criteria, the combination of the evaluation of individual performance with the respective structure as a strong bond of evaluation and career, use of the method of self-evaluation, evaluation for your superior and your colleague, financial rewards etc, are not only the success of the administration but also guarantee a qualitative management.

Abstract

In 2009 Minister of Education University and Research (MIUR) of Italy enacted the Guidelines of physical education and sport to improve the sport activity into the school through the sport school association and gives, for this aim, only 33% of amount of economical resources allocated in the previous years for extra activity of physical education. Approach: From a case study to compare data between 2 years of a sample of 10 schools of Naples, 6 schools decreased sports activity, 4 schools slightly increased and only one school increased significantly adding own economical resources. Furthermore, this school also deliberated a collaboration with sport association as new Guidelines suggested. The aim of this study is to investigate the process adopted by the school. Method is case study to describe the process. Results and Conclusion: All 10 schools confirm the past sport activities in different forms with several percentages among the schools. The decrease of number of students is significant and generally distributed. Seven schools utilized only the economical ministerial resource and only 2 schools utilized economical ministerial resources and a few own economical resources. The datum of only one school adding own economical resource in congruent amount means that just the 10% of schools understand the spirit of change according to the new Guidelines of Physical Education and Sport. The study suggests to start an investigation on public sport education service offered by school and by sport association and to establish a specific committee to investigate every aspect of this phenomenon.

Abstract

Language plays a critical role in political action. The choice of words written or spoken is a very important tool inpolitical engagements. This paper aims at analyzing utterances by politicians in Kenya on International Criminal Court (ICC)debate. This study uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyze these utterances so as to reveal the sources of powerabuse, dominance, inequality and bias and how these sources are initiated, maintained, reproduced and transformed withinspecific political and historical context. This paper draws data from political speeches and utterances from press conferences,Newspapers, interviews, political rallies and other forms of media from the time the ICC debate begun in the year 2009 afterparliament voted against constitutional amendment that would have allowed a credible and independent local court. From theanalysis it is evident that politicians use language that does not conform to the norms of the society and thus threatening nationalcohesion and perpetuating animosity among different ethnic groups as they politicize the ICC debate.

Abstract

Building maintenance has until recently been a neglected field of technology in most of our governmental policy formulation and execution. This is reflected in the maintenance of housing stocks held in our various institution of Higher learning. Every Tertiary institutional building whether old or new requires being maintained and constitutes parts of our most valuable asset, providing learners with shelter facility for study, work and leisure. This project take as a look at the “Assessment of the Factors Influencing Maintenance Programme of Tertiary Institutional Buildings in Southwest Nigeria” through examination of environmental and climatic conditions, availability of funds, socio-political reasons, mishandling and overpopulation. Two hundred and fifty administered to were returned out of the Three hundred and fifty administered to Hostel occupants, Technical staffs and Maintenance organization heads. The method adopted was simple percentage and inferential statistical tool for the analysis of data. The findings of the study revealed that the claims of the Maintenance department to practicing combined maintenance of planned and unplanned are faulted. Findings revealed that they lacked the wherewithal to make it a success. This paper recommends that budget allocation for maintenance of tertiary institutional buildings be made by the government in view of the inflationary trend in the economy, adequate and skilful staff should be provided for the maintenance department to avoid delay in job execution, while rate of response to maintenance request, repair to damages and faults identified should be made faster.

Abstract

“The language is the only real means which serves to study the man and his behavior” [Rorty,1992]. It shows the most positive and the most wholesome element in which man’s behavior finds its traces. “There are no frontiers in manners among which people get connected with each-other for motifs of auto-identification, security, profit, religious belief. As a result, there are no frontiers in the amount and the varieties of linguistic communities that can be individualized in the society”. [Bolinger,1975, p.15] Within the social community of a nation we distinguish even smaller groups of individual-speakers that have different linguistic features depending on various characteristics. The religious belief is one of the factors that influence on the identification of the linguistic differences. Such a fact becomes evident when there are speakers who belong to a nation, a state, a language, a dialect, even dwellers of the same city who are linguistically distinguished simply from the fact who belong to different religious beliefs. According to Hudson” the language performs a social function, either as a means of communication, or as a way of the social groups’ identification and their study, without referring to the society that uses it, which means excluding the possibility of finding social explanations about the used structures”. [Hudson, 2002, p.15] Considering closely the impact that the religious differences have on language we have dwelled in Shkoder , a city in the north of Albania, where inhabitants of catholic and Muslim beliefs have lived for centuries. We have seen from close the linguistic situation in this city of about 120 thousand inhabitants. An inhabitant manages to identify an interlocutor whether this one belongs to his or her religious belief or not, since it carries with itself even linguistic differences depending on the religion to which he or she belongs. The institutional aspect of the religion deals with the conservatism in language. These religious-based linguistic differences are embedded in Albania although for 50 years, the communist dictatorship had legally banned the religious belief and had even killed a great number of clerics, even though for more than 70 years there have been marriages among youngsters of different religious beliefs, even though the subject –speakers belong to close social groups. Considering closely this linguistic reality in relation with the religious differences we have done a lot of interviews and observations.
