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

This paper critically surveys the role of three punctuation marks: the colon, the semicolon, and the comma, intranslating from English to Persian. It aims at investigating how problematic these punctuation marks can be and to what extentthe students’ familiarity with their pragmatic and metadiscourse functions can affect their translation from English to Persian. Toaccomplish this, twenty two graduate students of translation were selected and asked to translate some sentences from Englishto Persian. The results have indicated that only a minority of them were successful. The root causes of their poor performancecan be traced back to the lack of contrastive study on punctuation systems of English and Persian as well as lack of familiaritywith metadiscourse functions of punctuation marks.

Abstract

Based on current research and theory in various fields of study, mental imagery is believed as a specific type ofmemory aid which is most widely and effectively used. Unfortunately, in EFL language class, the learner received very littletraining in dealing with mental imagery as a mnemonic device. The point this paper wants to emphasize is that knowing theadvantages of mental imagery will assist the learners to be able to apply this memory device on their own. To understand thispoint, a one-group experiment was conducted to point out some of the advantages of using mental imagery of BangkokUniversity’s students in Thailand. It is hypothesized that the subjects will have better recall after being trained to utilize mentalimagery in vocabulary learning. The results shed important light on the fact that the imagery which helps the students to enlargeand improve vocabulary knowledge independently. These results do not only show positive results, but also introduce anadditional comment that the tools learners use to learn vocabulary should fit the situation in which the learners find themselves(Nist and Simpson, 2000).

Abstract

This study reports on an observational study that dwells on conventional views of literacy that how in the most of ourliteracy class rooms a conventional approach to teaching literacy is dominant, at least to pupils with SLD. Children are beingtaught words and phonics, how to get information from books and other kinds of text, and lessons we observed looked verysimilar to those that can be seen in mainstream classrooms all around the country. There is a greater variation for pupils withprofound learning disabilities, but even so, many lessons look, in essence similar to the prescription for the Literacy Hour.

Abstract

This study examined monthly analysis of road traffic accidents in selected Local Government Areas of Lagos State,Nigeria and to suggest preventive and corrective safety measures towards reducing road traffic accidents in the study area.Using accident records from the Nigerian Police Force and Federal Road Safety Commission for the thirty two (32) years periodfrom 1970 – 2001, this study seeks to reveal the traffic situation and accident pattern on monthly basis in 9 Local GovernmentAreas of Lagos State, Nigeria. Further observation revealed that the most accident prone Local Government Areas (LGAs) areLagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Ikeja, Oshodi/Isolo, Apapa, Eti-Osa, Kosote and Ojo. Thus, these are the LGAsthat deserve urgent traffic accident mitigation attention e.g. intensified policing by the road safety corps. Again, for variousreasons, it was also observed that most of the accidents in Nigeria occur in the months of June, July, September, October,November and December. June, July and September are the peak rainy months and more road accidents occur in rainy monthsbecause wet road conditions affect many drivers’ ability to see and be seen. Based on the findings, recommendations wereproffered on how to reduce the phenomenon of road traffic accidents in Lagos State, Nigeria.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of all economies and are a key source of economicgrowth, dynamism and flexibility in advanced industrialized countries, as well as in emerging and developing economies.SMEsconstitute the dominant form of business organization, accounting for over 95% and up to 99% of enterprises depending on thecountry. They are responsible for between 60-70% net job creations in OECD countries. Small businesses are particularlyimportant for bringing innovative products or techniques to the market. Financing is necessary to help them set up and expandtheir operations, develop new products, and invest in new staff or production facilities. Many small businesses start out as anidea from one or two people, who invest their own money and probably turn to family and friends for financial help in return for ashare in the business. But if they are successful, there comes a time for all developing SMEs when they need new investment toexpand or innovate further. That is where they often run into problems, because they find it much harder than larger businessesto obtain financing from banks, capital markets or other suppliers of credit. This “financing gap” is all the more important in a fastchangingknowledge-based economy because of the speed of innovation. Innovative SMEs with high growth potential, many ofthem in high-technology sectors, have played a pivotal role in raising productivity and maintaining competitiveness in recentyears. If SMEs cannot find the financing they need, brilliant ideas may fall by the wayside and this represents a loss in potentialgrowth for the economy.

Abstract

Cursory study of universities in developing countries has been a subject of concern. This necessitated a study into themaintenance of Lagos state university Ojo Campus Nigeria with a view to identify certain factors responsible for the deterioratingstate of the facilities and also proffer remedial solution to the problems. The research used both qualitative and quantitativemethod. Group focus and in-depth interview are some of the many formal approaches that are used. These include; customerfeedback forms, report or media clip. Data are collected using sampling techniques and structured questionnaire, incorporating afixed set and order of questions with a closed list of responses. Out of the Twenty-Two (22) questionnaire sent, only seventeen(17) were responded to, representing a seventy-seven (77%) response rate. The data collected were analyzed using descriptiveand inferential statistics. The study revealed that; lack of planned maintenance, lack of maintenance policies in the institution,lack of update security system and qualified personnel are among the major factor influencing deteriorating state of facilities atthe university. The research work concludes that lack of planning approach to maintenance issue and structured maintenancepolicy is the banes of the university facilities problem.The study also conclude that there are no regular inspections of thefacilities to check maintenance needs and the university does not use facilities to generate fund, other than government fundingfor maintenance purposes. The paper recommends that universities in developing countries should have a good maintenancepolicy in place and use facilities for investment purposes to foster increased income to cater for maintenance needs among otherthings.

Abstract

The Niger Delta is currently in the vortex of protracted social conflict, as crisis of regime legitimacy, “political ostracismand social marginalization” fuel armed rebellion with incalculable consequences for the stability of the Nigerian state. The rootcause of this crisis has been the subject of extensive debate in the literature (Otite, 1990; Bassey, etal, 2002). The currentdimension of the crisis is arguably the systemic resultant of the multiple disorders (intense “bureaucratic politics”) in the policyprocess under the Obasanjo administration and that of his successor, Yar’ Adua –Jonathan, and the equal determination ofmilitant youth movements (MEND, NDV, etc.) to assert their presence in the region. This melodrama is currently played out inthe official circle of Nigeria’s Federal Government with the unmistakable paradigm shift of policy discourse from accommodationand commitment to transformative action to the language of criminality, gangsterism, terrorism and force. While thesecontending tendencies characterized bureaucratic debate in the Nigerian policy circles (with the military establishment pushingfor a “final solution” in line with the decisive action against Biafran secession), the military onslaught on the militant camps in theNiger Delta in May 2009 marked a watershed in the praxis of state response through force. The implication is unmistakable: withless sympathy for the struggle against “domestic colonialism in the region, the dominant mindset of the Yar’ Adua- Jonathanadministration (the “group think factor”) is committed to the Colombian or Zaireen style solution. How this dialectics of force andresistance is played out will determine the future of Nigeria in the next decade: failed, collapsed or problem state?

Abstract

In the focus of the article are presented some of toponyms in the book of Prokopio of Cesarea "De Aedificiis" whichrefer to their strongholds or places situated near the Illyrian and Epirotic settlements. Different authors have noticed that in somecases, the toponyms are not associated with archaeological correct data and some of them are written with linguistic mistakes.These two gaps make it difficult analysis undertaken, but not impossible. On its part, the author of the article, has tried, alsorelying on other historical sources and various studies made by albanologists of different times, to give its opinion on thesetoponyms and achieve the important conclusions.
