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%.

Abstract

The work of assessing students’ learning is complex. In order to assess their work objectively, teachers and instructors usevarious methods and instruments, one of which is testing. We are aware that nowadays testing has become an inherent part of the societywe live in. Consequently, many important decisions are based on test results. So, it is not surprising that anxiety during tests has becomea prominent problem in schools all over the world. The present study focuses primarily on test anxiety and its impact on learning, as wellas its causes and effects on students. A test anxiety scale followed by a set of questions was completed by a sample group of undergraduatestudents of “Aleksandër Moisiu” University. The results indicated that a considerable number of students were affected, at least at somedegree, by test anxiety. From this perspective, the following questions are raised: “What causes test anxiety?” and “What can be done toalleviate this problem?” The findings of this empirical study, the review of literature as well as students experiences provide usefulsuggestions concerning the ways of alleviating test anxiety.

Abstract

Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are core values of the EU and are seen as universal and indivisible. Respectfor human rights is a prerequisite for countries seeking to join the Union. Therefore, Macedonia as a candidate country is in the processof fulfilling EU standards in the protection of the human rights. However, huge problem emerges when some of the country members ofthe EU is not respecting and furthermore violates basic human rights of his citizens. As the academic in the country which is supposed tobecome EU member one day, we have huge problem to explain to the people why they should implement some human right standard, ifthat is not the case in some prominent EU member country. Referring to common good and higher values is not always enough. In thispaper will I focus only on two countries: Macedonia and Italy. The first one due the reason is the country where I am living, state intransition trying to reach the European values or at least claiming so. The second one because is one of the oldest EU member states andit’s perceived as one of the most important countries in Europe. Moreover it’s facing with some problem as transition countries do:corruption, freedom of press, fight with mafia, populist leader, illegal immigration and other. I will focus just on the prohibition ontorture as one of the most basic and most fundamental human right.

Abstract

This article is about analysing two issues of pornography and hate speech in the context of political theory and Malaysianpolitics. This article examines both issues from liberals arguments and it shows that although liberalism supports the right for free speech,since the 1970s many liberals feel that pornography and hate speech should not be part of free speech doctrine because both are notcontributing for the public good in democratic system and they are also detrimental to the society. By using the cultural arguments ofAsian values, Malaysia totally rejects these practices because they are not suitable in a cultural and religious conscious Malaysianmultiracial society. Although many are sceptic about the use of Asian values for the rejection and the uses of hate speech by peopleincluding the government, opposition and NGOs for political gain, in principle, Malaysians are in consensus of rejecting both issues forthe good of society.

Abstract

Numerous studies have ascertained the diminutionary tendencies of disamenities such as solid waste landfills on real estateinvestments despite previous mixed conclusions. This study examines one of the four landfills in Lagos State- Olusosun landfill locatedin Ojota, Lagos and its estimated financial implication on the real estate market in Lagos State, Nigeria. A relational distance of 1200m radius was established between the landfill and residential properties by which property values were measured based on consistentintervals of 300meters up to 1 200 meters in concentric rings. The study indicated within the Olusosun landfill neighbourhood, anincrease in property values were evident as distance away from the landfills increased indicating that residential houses in close proximityto the landfills suffered value loss. Property appreciation relative to distance averaged 6% within the concentric rings of the landfill whilethe an estimated total loss on the real estate market via the landfill found to be approximately =N=2.1billion. The study recommendedthat if improved technology could not be utilised in the effective management of the various sanitary landfills within developed areas of thestate, the current landfills in operation be closed down and relocated to the outskirts of the city to forestall a consistent appreciation in realestate investment in the state.

Abstract

According to Rogers (2005), the Bain analysis shows that only around 15% of companies actually have an organization thathelps them to outperform. In creating high-performance environment, leaders recognize three critical factors that determine and guide theirleadership responsibility. First, they must learn how to lead themselves before they can lead others successfully. Second, they are notactually delivering the vision themselves, but merely overseeing its delivery by the “real” performers in the organization. Third, leadersshould distinguish “leader” from “leadership”. Not everyone can be a leader, but everyone in the organization can assume leadership roles.

Abstract

Dividend policy is among the most important unresolved issues in modern corporate finance. Several researches have tried tosolve the dividend puzzle yet, the results are inconclusive as to what determines the optimal dividend policy. Present study has analyzedthe impact of firm’s age on its dividend policy. Using the financial data of 120 companies listed at Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE),Pakistan during 2002 to 2007, this study has explored the non-linear relationship of company’s age with dividend policy. A cubic formof model has been designed by using age, age-square and age-cube as independent variables while controlling for leverage and profitability.The estimated results are consistent with maturity hypothesis and free cash flow hypothesis. The study also supports the impact of tradecycle on dividend policy of listed companies of Pakistan. The results are robust to the alternative proxy of dividend policy i.e. dividendintensity.

Abstract

The socio-economic condition in Nigeria, present a perplexing paradox. In spite of a robust endowment in natural andhuman resources, the level of poverty of her people stands in contrast to the country’s enormous wealth. This paper seek to criticallyanalyse the poverty incident with specific reference to poverty incidence, poverty profile , poverty trend, type of poverty, measurement ofpoverty and the major causes of poverty in Nigeria. However, data were obtained from federal office of statistics and Central Bank ofNigeria (CBN) and the result shows that despite the abundant natural and human resources in Nigeria, the amazing paradox – acountry rich with plenty but occupied by people whom majority are perpetually poor and underdeveloped. Therefore, effective programmesmost be design if of poverty must be given a lasting solution in the area.
