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

The growing attention of the government in Iran to the individual-centered discourse and its knowledge kinds has caused a slow and increasing influence of individual-centered theories, methodologies and approaches (including economics, along with emerging psychology and mysticism) in social explanations and analysis, and this is one of the implications and examples of the imperialist relationship between individualist discourse and sociology. This article aims to investigate, examine, and expose the various facets of this scientific imperialism. Documentary research methodology is the foundation of this study. The underlying premise of this study is that the ontological and epistemological underpinnings of the Nominalism school, along with historical and empirical evidence to support them, play a vital role in the principles and foundations of economics (one of the definitions of individual-centred discourse). The results demonstrate that individualism and atomism, particularly in economics, have evolved and become more pervasive in Iranian culture. Nominalism has been crucial in theorising this scenario since it serves as the discourse's ontological and epistemic base. The result of this situation is nothing but the dominance of the individual-centered and the weakening of the social, both in the analysis of reality and in its construction. In the meantime, one should not and cannot ignore the relation and cooperation of power and knowledge for the emergence and stabilization of this situation.

Abstract

In this study, the fluctuating precipitation in Central Asia’s Middle Zarafshan basin was examined. Investigating the seasonal variation and distribution of atmospheric precipitation in this area was the goal of this study. Changes in the amount of atmospheric precipitation seen over the primary and current climate periods were taken into consideration using data from 13 meteorological stations located in the basin's plains and mountainous regions. Calculations were made on changes in atmospheric precipitation by altitude zones throughout various climatic eras, and differences in annual fluctuations and distribution changes over time were displayed.

Abstract

There has been growing concern over the state’s inability to effectively respond to Nigeria's persistent rise in poverty and unemployment. This concern is more among the youth, who feel they have not been empowered enough. This article examines the nature of Yobe State's institutional capacity, its impact on youth empowerment, and its implications on employment and poverty reduction. It is based on a study that adopted a mixed-methods sequential approach combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. In the first phase, 393 randomly selected respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. In the second phase, data were collected on key informants and youth participants' opinions, views, and experiences using key informant interviews, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings reveal that most youth are not confident of the state's institutional capacity to implement youth empowerment programs effectively. Most of the youth participants and key informants are not satisfied with the expertise of the state empowerment institutions to manage the implementation of the empowerment programs in the state. The factor analysis shows a 64.4% variation in institutional capacity to implement youth empowerment programs, meaning improvement in state capacity and state competence in implementing youth empowerment programs may lead to 64.4% towards youth empowerment in the state. Therefore, the study recommends that Yobe State Government strengthens its institutions responsible for designing and implementing empowerment programs through adequate funding and recruitment of adequate, relevant, and professional staff to ensure policy sustainability.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the influence modern e-technologies on academic staff productivity in Nigerian colleges of education. To achieve the study's goal, one research question was posed, and one hypothesis was developed to direct the investigation. The study utilized a survey-based design. The study's population consists of eighty-one (81) business education academic staff members, who were all participating in the research due to the population's manageable size. For data collection, an 11-item questionnaire titled "Modern E-Technologies and Academic Staff Job Productivity Questionnaire" (METASJPQ) was used. Two (2) experts validated the instrument. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.88 overall. To answer the research questions, the collected data were analyzed using the mean (X), standard deviation (SD), and sample percentage. An independent t-test was used to test the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. Data analysis revealed that modern e-technologies influence the productivity of academic staff in Nigerian colleges of education. In accordance with the study's findings, it was recommended, among other things, that academic staff occasionally engage students in collaborative learning via various modern e-technology platforms.

Abstract

Countries faced with terrorism in Africa cannot adequately check, advocate, and enable the delivery of public financial management (PFM). The activities of Boko-Haram in Northeastern Nigeria have disrupted public activities and affected key stakeholders’ involvement in the budget process, availability of budgeting information and budget performance. This study interrogates the impact of Boko-Haram on budgeting transparency and accountability. The research design was informed by interviews and documented studies. A diagnostic test was conducted on variables to confirm their reliability, validity and normality. Likert scale was used to find out the opinions of the respondents. Descriptive and inferential analysis was adopted in this research. With a significant regression model (p-value <0.05), the analysis shows that terrorism accounts for 89.28% variation in budget performance. The authors noted fewer scholarly efforts to interrogate how terrorism undermines budgeting as an aspect of PFM in economic governance. Hence recommends more research in this subject area, particularly in other terror affected countries in Africa. This paper recommends increased policy support by enhancing public accessibility of budget documents, engendering consultative forums for citizens' participation in the budget process in secure locations, and timely budgetary reports and audits by relevant government agencies.

Abstract

Affordable housing is a worldwide crisis in the urban areas. In Lebanon, due to this crisis especially at the end of the Civil War, the Church took the initiative to implement affordable housing. Accordingly, the Lebanese Maronite Order (LMO) implemented affordable housing projects during its 300th Jubilee. The aim of this paper is to discuss the history and the concepts underlying the LMO affordable housing projects which was the subject of an evaluative research conducted in 2019 to evaluate the effectiveness of LMO’s projects. This assessment study combined the evaluation of the findings with the evaluation of the implementation. A questionnaire was given to the project's beneficiaries, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with the project's managers. This study confirms the consistency of this initiative with the mission of the LMO in accordance with the guidelines of the Catholic Church and the Human Right to Adequate Housing. Due to the current housing, political, social, and economical crisis in Lebanon, LMO and the ecclesiastical institutions must multiply these projects and the Lebanese government must apply the Right to Adequate Housing and must take the initiative to implement affordable housing in collaboration with the private sector and the non-for-profit organisations.
