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

Gender inequality hinders the development efforts of countries worldwide, especially developing countries. Despite Ghanagovernment’s efforts to address gender inequality, the issue continues to prevail, and invariably retards development mostly inrural communities. This qualitative study, explored factors that perpetuated gender inequality in Kyebi, in the Ashanti Region ofGhana. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were utilized to recruit twenty-five participants and in-depthinterviews were conducted to gather data for the study. The findings of the study revealed that deep rooted patterns of cultureand socialization continue to perpetuate gender inequality in rural communities denying women equal access to services aswell as to physical and social capital. Based on the findings of our study, we draw attention to the need for research and policyinterventions that would reduce gender inequalities and ensure women’s active participation in social and economicdevelopment.

Abstract

This paper deals with the achievements and weaknesses of the implementation of the National and International Standards ofAccounting, for property in general, the problems encountered in the implementation of these standards as well ascomparisons between different societies.This work will be carried out through questionnaires and direct interviews with variousbusinesses, especially those businesses that deal with the implementation of IAS 16 and 5.The methodology used will bequalitative and quantitative methods and empirical data - where you will get the right information about the problems anddifficulties faced by various companies and qualitative methods through a detailed analysis of the data obtained to reflect thereasons for non-compliance with these standards. Benefits of International Accounting Standards may be financial, economicand political.Preliminary evidence suggests that companies, lenders and investors would prefer, a convergence of domesticaccounting standards with the International Accounting Standards to create a framework of financial reporting quality. Althoughthere are many significant benefits for the implementation of International Accounting Standards and has grown pretty itsimportance, there are still many challenges for the further development and implementation authoritative. To better understandthese challenges need to look at the factors that influence the development of accounting regulations. These factors mayinclude social and cultural values, political and legal systems, business activities and economic conditions; standard-settingprocesses; capital markets and forms of ownership; and finally the cooperative efforts of nations. These factors need to beunderstood if we can mitigate or even eliminate the challenges of International Accounting Standards. International AccountingStandards are important today and will probably become even more important in the future, as they are further developed. Thiswork will be carried out in close cooperation with the theme leader Prof. Jorgji Bolanos to reach the criticism and solutions toproblems encountered in this research.: “Which are the problems that implementation process will face in Albanian reality?”

Abstract

This paper assessed the performance of the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (ACGS) with the objectives of: (i)determining the trend in the annual total number and value of loans guaranteed, (ii) ascertaining the direction of loansguaranteed, and (iii) determining the risk of non-repayment level associated with loans guaranteed to farmers. Data wereobtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN, 2010a) for the 20 year period of 1991 to 2010 and were analyzed by the useof tables, graphs and descriptive statistics of minimum, maximum and mean and risk measurement. Parts of the findings werethat the yearly total number and value of loans guaranteed by the Scheme and the number and value fully repaid were on theincrease; the risk of non-repayment was also on the increase though it nosedived in 2010. Further, that about 0.2% of theestimated households population in Nigeria was reached in terms of loans and that the average unit loan value guaranteedranged from N3,729.78 to N155,661.17. Individual farmers received upward of 92% and 76%, respectively, of annual numberand value of loans guaranteed. It was recommended that the Scheme should review and incorporation the lessons learnedfrom 1991 to 1999 into a new policy and strategy formulation and operation that would engender another era of low risk of nonrepaymentof loans with increases in loan expansion.

Abstract

This study aims at analysing the accounting treatment for identifiable intangible assets. Our research is based on the analysisof the Albania regulation under the current General Accounting Plan of 2003 (from now on referred to as PGC-2003) and theinternational regulations stated by two important accounting regulation organisms: the International Accounting StandardsBoard (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). In particular, we will carry out a comparative study of thedefinition, recognition criteria, valuation, amortisation, impairment of value as well as its recovery and information to beprovided in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The review of these accounting regulations shows that there is nohomogeneous treatment, despite the great advance achieved on this subject, to obtain a higher level of convergence.

Abstract

It is a crucial issue alongside other important topics to the academic level and also for the students who are interested in thisregard. After the Second World War there were some writers who possessed some characteristics that we may categorize onlyto that period. One of these writers is the famous American one Joseph Heller. There are many books about the war butHeller’s masterpiece “Catch-22” is uncomparable to none of them. Heller is a satirical novelist, a short story writer and aplaywright.(a) The features that led to “Black Humor” .The humor that Heller makes use of is obviously a human selfishness invain, this is very well represented in almost all the characters of this novel. The humor is dressed up in these characters toexplain the absurdity even when they think that they are being moral and fair. (b)Humor as a stylistic choice. Joseph Heller isinterested in a non-chronological narration and has been focused in a repetitive style approach. Heller was not alone in the warnovels there many other such as Kurt Vonnegut ,or Thomas Pynchon etc

Abstract

Gender differences in science have received serious attention in science education research for the last two decades. Boysand girls have been compared on various variables such as achievement, attitude, motivation, interest, and performancebehaviors. Moreover, the differences have been linked with unequal representation of men and women in science andtechnology – related careers indicating levels of contributions of men and women to national development. Therefore, thispaper contends that it is difficult to address the issue of national development particularly in science and technology withoutrecourse to the gender factor. Specifically, the 1995 Commonwealth Plan of Action on gender and development, indicates that“the Commonwealth shall work towards a world in which women and men have equal rights and opportunities in all stages oftheir lives to express their creativity in all fields of human endeavour and in which women are respected and valued as equaland able partners in establishing values of social justice”. This paper poses and answers these questions: (a) What is thepattern of gender differences in science achievement internationally and in the Caribbean? (b) What are the possibleexplanations for gender differences in science achievement internationally and in the Caribbean? (c) What are the effects ofgender differentials in science on national development? (d) What are the possible intervention strategies towards genderbalance in science achievement? This paper presents answers to these questions using reports of meta-analysis of scienceeducation research and goes ahead to offer suggestions for action as to how gender gaps can be bridged in the Caribbean inorder to ensure contributions of both men and women to regional scientific and technological development.
