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

Quality has been the most relevance public policy on higher education worldwide in about three decades. Quality is, primarily,a product of a linear equation of an overall expansion and massification of higher education since the 1970s, and the lack of resources toensure a long-term educational support. Therefore, it is evident the design and implementation of a public policy without a critical debateabout the implications for the entire educational systems. Secondly, it implies a qualitative change in the process of evaluation from apedagogical process based on significant curricular experiences, to the construction of a positivist system of evidence for each potentialor de facto act of learning, producing an institutional evaluation based on productivity, competitiveness, achievement and treasure ofeconomical, social and cultural capitals. It is about a substantial change in the concepts and practices of educational administration froman academic/knowledge regime to academic/knowledge capitalism regime, corporatizing educational institutions and promoting socialfragmentation. Testimonies from scholars in facing this academic regime show a relevant erosion of the academic work and an epistemicreduction of educational disciplines, making the policy of quality of education, more than a well-intentioned educational improvement, asource of deinstitutionalization, discrimination and practices of social control and lack of social recognition.This work analyzes socialconfigurations from scholars’ experiences in Higher Education in Mexico facing the rhetoric and procedures of quality of education.Through ethnography and phenomenological hermeneutics analysis this research shows imaginaries that deform scholars’ educationalpractices and a consequent ideological social recognition.

Abstract

The world has changed dramatically during the last 20years .and the dawn of a new form of civilization has emerged as thenew millennium begins. In this age of rapid, unexpected, and unpredictable changes with far reaching consequences, the role ofgovernments, citizens, organized groups, nation-states, and societies is changing rapidly as well. Public and private organizations, andmanagement systems, are being transformed by either choice or pressure and necessity of adaptation for survival.This article addressesintellectual capital as a new strategic in the age of globalization. After maximizing production factors such as land, buildings, equipmentinventory and financial resources (the tangible assets) ,companies have discovered that the so –called intangible assets (hidden) assetof knowledge can play a vital role in helping, them obtain a sustainable competitive advantage. To meet the challenges of globalization—negative as well as positive—capacity building is needed in areas of organization, management, governance, and public administrationall over the world. The aim of this research is to investigate the different methods in managing intellectual capital due to the globalizationstatus in different Algerian companies The results indicates that without human capital ( as a part of intellectual capital ) nothing can beaccomplished, and without a well-trained, well-developed, well-appreciated, and well-managed human capital, modern organizations ofgovernment and business cannot meet the challenges of the globalization age .It shows also that there is a lack comprehension ofAlgerian managers concerning how to manage intellectual capital in this new era

Abstract

In the marketing literature store image and its dimensions are identified and studied by many researchers. However, itsinfluence on consumers’ “store brand purchase” and its “perceived quality” is rarely studied for different product categories (food, nonfood).In this framework, the purpose of this study is to examine store image and its influence on the consumers’ store brand choice andperceived quality of store brands. Store image dimensions’ effect on each mentioned variable is tested on a sample of 378 customerswho usually shop from hypermarkets in Ankara, Turkey. As there are too many store image variables, initially factor analysis is appliedto group the store image variables in order to reduce the number of variables to a smaller set of independent factors. In the second step,“store image dimensions and store brand purchase” and “store image dimensions and perceived quality of store brands” are investigatedwith the Regression Analysis. ANOVA was applied to identify the variances between perceived quality of food and non-food categories.It was found that store atmosphere dimension of store image affects perceived quality of store brands. Perceived quality of store brandsaffects the purchasing of store brands whereas any of the store image dimensions does not. In food and non-food categories perceivedquality of store brands effect store brand purchasing. In non-food category, store atmosphere dimension of store image affects perceivedquality of these products.

Abstract

Like in every Fascist Regime, with its wide range of limited freedom, in Portugal, the New State forbade the freedom ofspeech and started controlling the Media, by using them to promote the Regime. The political speeches by António de Oliveira Salazarwith the old political ideas of “God”, Homeland” and “Family” of the authoritarian Regimes became state dogmas from the thirties of the20th century on. As Salazar stated, “ Only what we know that exists truly exists”. According to this thought a great propaganda strategy ofabsolute certainties was created. The State even created a Secretariat for the National Propaganda which aimed to frame the socialeveryday life into the spirit of the Regime. From the forties on, due to international happenings there is a decrease of the ideologicalpropaganda speech of the Government, since the main aim was the political survival. The fall of Dictatorship, in April 1974, made thefreedom of speech possible. However there wasn’t a State impartiality regarding the Media. The revolution strategists immediately usedthe radio and the newspapers to spread news pro the political rebellion and the television to present themselves to the country. It isobvious that with the abolition of censorship there was a radical change in the system of political communication. But a long time ofDemocracy was necessary for the Media not to suffer political and governmental pressure.

Abstract

This study expounds the Greek-Orthodox millet community’s family formation in the Sanjak of Kayseri in the 1870’s from theaspects of especially extended family, polygamy, endogamy, average age of marriage, inheritance rights and ratio of children. Byrevealing heterogeneous tendencies among the Greek-Orthodox communities of different parts of the Ottoman imperial lands, it is partlygoing to be a comparative study. In the same way, while evaluating the Greek-Orthodox family structure, Kayseri’s other sedentarycommunities’ family formations –Muslim and Armenian one- will be also taken into consideration. Certainly we cannot talk about onetype of family structure, which was assumed as a model and implemented by the Greek-Orthodox inhabitants residing in different partsof the Ottoman domain. In different places, regional factors and local customs seem to play a crucial role in shaping the Greek-Orthodoxfamilies. Like everywhere else in Kayseri too, in addition to these, various socio-economic reasons gave shape to family formation.Comprehension of this subject therefore requires a short examination of such determinant elements. Briefly speaking, in reference toFrederic Le Play’s categorization, the 1870’s Kayseri’s Greek-Orthodox families –as well as Muslim and Armenian ones- were formed as“stem family”. In the meantime, from the perspective of inheritance rights, they can be defined as a “conjugal” family. Likewise,endogamy was also a common feature both in the Muslim and non-Muslim families. Apart from these, we can say that in the vicinity ofKayseri, females and males were prone to marry at early ages.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression among adolescents with cancer. A sample of 174adolescents diagnosed with cancer along with one of their parents, respectively completed Beck Depression Inventory forPrimary Care (BDI-PC) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as well as a demographic questionnaire. Results revealed that29.9% of adolescent participants were diagnosed with depression disorder. Furthermore, there were positive correlationsbetween adolescent depression with parents’ depression, cancer relapse, and number of children in the family. However nosignificant correlation was indicated between adolescent depression with adolescents’ age, gender, the age when diagnosis wasmade, duration of illness, amount and kind of treatment methods, intensity of disease, and family income.

Abstract

Rheumatic diseases are major causes of different degrees of pain, disability and deformity. They have strong impact inpatient’s lives, especially in psychological and social dimensions, as a result of their healthcare needs. The present study has aqualitative nature and is based on the evaluation of the impact of changes related to the progression of rheumatic diseases and on howthe disease affects patients, namely at psychological, professional and social level. We conducted a focus-group to understand howillness could limit the daily life of these adult patients, women and men, with rheumatic diseases. Along the analysis and discussion ofthe results, we found out that the patients with rheumatic diseases have a health condition extremely complex, particularly in apsychological and emotional dimension. They have suffered severe changes, associated to emotional disturbances, related withdemotivation, anxiety, nervousness, and physical limitations of multiple sorts, which lead to frustration or dissatisfaction. The rheumaticdiseases can strongly affect the profession and social activity of the patients, but the family and friends support was proven to have apositive impact in the individuals, softening some negative effects of the illness. Our study emphasizes that it is recommended that nursepractitioners participate in the evaluation of these patients, in order to provide the adequate healthcare that they require, and aiming topromote their wellbeing.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a general presentation regarding the way how children’s crimes control is made in aRomanian community. Starting with a general presentation of the children’s in conflict with penal law, the vulnerability of the children infront of some factors that may orient them to commit offences, the Romanian legal framework and the tendency of this phenomena in thelast years, I tried to address the following questions: What is used in our days in order to control the children’s crimes? Which are theinstitutions and the actors involved in this control process? In which programs are the juvenile offenders involved and why? Do thenumbers say that we really deal with an increase of this phenomenon? Can we say that Romania has a well defined strategy forcontrolling children’s crimes? In order to find an answer to these questions I used as a research method the semi-structured interviewsand a focus-group in which were involved specialists that are working directly with the juvenile offenders. Their opinions as professionalsand practitioners are important for constructing the image of the Romanian strategy used in a micro-community for controlling children’scrimes. According to recent research in this field I consider the debate of this issue a very important one in order to highlight thenecessity to improve the actual strategies used in controlling juvenile crimes. The conclusions of this paper stress that until nowRomania does not have a well defined strategy used for controlling the crimes committed by juveniles.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of perceived-workload and work-family conflict (WFC) on learnedhelplessness. While examining the role of the aforementioned variables, the effect of supervisor support was taken into account becausesupport given by supervisors is believed to alleviate the adverse impact of workload and WFC. A total of 155 people working in a privatebank in Turkey filled out the questionnaire. Participants rated the items that measure perceived workload, WFC, supervisor support andhelplessness. Moderated mediation analysis was conducted to reveal the direct and moderating effects. In general, the results werefound to be as expected. As employees experience high workload and WFC, their propensity to feel helplessness seems to increase.However, as perceived supervisor support increases, the adverse effect of WFC and workload on helplessness seems to diminish.However, it is noteworthy to say that the alleviating effect of support is effective up to some point. At high levels of workload and WFC,helplessness felt by employees increases substantially.
