Kedelai (glycine max) adalah salah satu tanaman polong-polongan yang umumnya menjadi bahan dasar makanan dari Asia Timur seperti kecap, tahu, dan tempe. Kedelai merupakan sumber utama protein nabati dan minyak nabati dunia. Desa Ngaringan merupakan desa yang berada di Kecamatan Ngaringan, Kabupaten Grobogan dan memiliki potensi yang besar dalam sektor pertanian, salah satunya yaitu kedelai. Namun, besarnya hasil produksi kedelai tidak diimbangi dengan variasi olahan kedelai, sehingga potensi yang ada baru dimanfaatkan pada sektor ekonomi primer. Maka dari itu, perlu adanya pengolahan kedelai sebagai usaha pemanfaatan potensi dan peningkatan ekonomi penduduk Desa Ngaringan yang bergerak dalam sektor ekonomi sekunder. Tujuan dari adanya kegiatan ini adalah memberikan penyuluhan terhadap masyarakat di Desa Ngaringan bahwa kedelai juga dapat diolah menjadi nugget dan menggantikan nugget yang biasanya dibuat dari bahan dasar hewani, serta dapat bermanfaat sebagai Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT). Setelah diadakannya penyuluhan ini, Masyarakat di Desa Ngaringan diharapkan dapat membuat dan mengolah kedelai lebih kreatif lagi, serta membuka peluang untuk menciptakan UMKM baru yang bergerak dalam pengolahan kedelai.

An exploratory study of a woman in Ekegusii through the lens of the conceptual metaphor theory
Authors: Solomon Onchoke Aunga , Wen Xu
Published: December 2022

It has been argued by linguists that language expresses a people’s way of life; this paper examines a cultural-specific metaphor in Ekegusii, an African Bantu language in Kenya. A descriptive research design was used in the collection of the metaphors from the field whereby the native respondents were asked to identify and explain terms and phrases that describe a woman in Ekegusii, describe the social-cultural values and explain the mapping processes involved. The data were analyzed by identifying qualities in the donor domains and mapping them to the recipient domain using the Cognitive Metaphor Theory (CMT). It is clear from the results that in Ekegusii, a woman is perceived as an object, a plant, an animal or the appropriate behavior she exhibits based on the values such as immorality, selfishness, beauty, ugliness, harshness, talking a lot, age, and faithfulness, and also, a metaphor makes our thoughts clearer, richer with imagery, and, act as a conduit between human mind and culture.
How Private Memory Intersects With and Informs Public History in Selected Works of Abdulrazak Gurnah
Authors: Chepkosgei Kerich Seraphine
Published: December 2022

This paper explores how Private Memory intersects with the Public History of the Zanzibari Arab Community and employs the tropes of: Reverse Chronology and History as a way of using Fiction to represent and contextualize how they inform the discourse of identity formations and/or constructions of the Zanzibari Arab Community, especially in relation to the trauma that accompanies the latter’s migration. It is important to mention that the identities of the diasporic Zanzibari Arabs has suffered from the disruptions caused by colonialism and the coming of independence, both of which have left individual members of this community, as well as its entirety, with a traumatized memory of who they are.
Artistic expressions as conflicts resolution process: A study of selected works
Authors: Nduka Echezonachukwu
Published: December 2022

Conflicts occur within and between nations, societies, and individuals—and for this reason; conflicts resolution also thrives on artistic expressions and cultural productions which are also found in societies. This essay examines the role of artistic expressions in conflicts resolution and significantly views it as a process. This is because while works of art may not immediately instil peace, they have the propensity to initiate conversations, actions, and re-actions which could eventually lead to peace-building. In this essay, artistic expressions are limited to poetry and music and focuses on excerpts from the poetry of Ben Okri, Uche Peter Umez, Audre Lorde, and the musical works of Nigerian All Star Ensemble, The Beatles, and Todd Rundgren whose artistic works have direct thematic relevance to this discourse.
Sadistic Realization of Interpersonal Relationships in selected Bessie Head’s short-stories
Authors: Nyagemi Bwocha
Published: December 2022

Sadism occupies a central position in human life. A close observation of the vices that populate media reports around the world and character traits of fictional and nonfictional characters worldwide vindicates this observation. These vices, like violence, betrayal, irresponsible parenthood, and murder are an indication of, among other things, sadism. Many characters, both fictional and nonfictional, use sadism to not just cut a niche for themselves in an increasingly competitive world but also exploit, silence, oppress and do what may in the overall analysis be deemed as their exercise of power over others. This position is central to the argument in this study. It is thus a psychoanalytic theory guided analysis which has employed Erich Fromm’s “The Nature of Violence” to read various sadistic elements constitutive to the anthology. Bessie Head’s short fiction, The Collector of Treasures, and Other Botswana Village Tales (1977) is the primary text of this study. A thematic approach has been adopted in reading meaning into the stories. This facilitates the unlocking of the sadistic aspects of the lives of the characters discussed in this journal article. Interpersonal relationships are important to the reading of these short stories for it is here where sadism is observed and commentary made as a consequence. The interpretation thus provides a fresh approach to the reading of Head’s fiction.
Verbal Inflections and Performance Strategies Deployed in Open-Mic Poetry in Kenya
Authors: Okemwa Christopher
Published: December 2022

This paper examines verbal inflections and performance strategies used in open-mic performance poetry, a sub-genre of spoken word poetry in Kenya. Since 2003, Performance poetry has gained greater recognition in Kenya illustrating the impact of captivating verbal choices at play in crafted, theatrical, and nonlinear dialogues between open-mic poets and their audience. Using selected open-mic poems, this paper describes how this sub-genre engages various verbal inflections in (re)presenting our everyday issues in society. Anchored on an interactionist stance, the study proceeds from an understanding that art should be viewed not as a disembodied product, but as a collection of dynamic social and interactional processes. While using textual analysis, this paper unravels verbal inflections used in selected open-mic poems in Kenya. It further interrogates ways in which open-mic poets deploy various performance strategies to make their performances lively, captivating and to deliver their intended messages. The paper argues that the emergence of open-mic poetry in Kenya has prompted performance poets to construct their own identities as artists. In doing so, these poets strive to define a uniquely Kenyan open-mic poetry sub-genre that enables them preserve their identities while capitalizing on benefits that this emerging art brings to them in (re)presenting societal concerns.

The Power Play: Ferdinand Oyono’s ‘House Boy’ Through Michel Foucault’s Ideas of Power
Authors: Murundu Rosemary Okayo
Published: December 2022

The white man’s quest for power in Africa led to what Ngugi wa Thiong’o (1981)   refers to as Colonizing and Decolonizing of minds. It is a power game that was perfected by the colonial administration in Cameroon to ‘rescue Africans from themselves’ as they take control over them and what belonged to them. This paper explores the manifestations and use of power in the novel houseboy by Ferdinand Oyono through the lens of Michel Foucault’s concept of power. The text depicts the black man’s plight on the hands of the colonial masters. Through Toundi’s diary, Oyono gives a detailed account of desperate human beings whose services are exploited, whose bodies are tortured and imprisoned, and whose lives are subjected to slow painful death in ‘Blackman’s Grave’ and buried naked in prison cemetery like common criminals. Against this bleak and dangerous backdrop, black men like Toundi, to some extent, redefined their spaces and identities through formidable resistance. The argument advanced in this paper is that Oyono’s’ Houseboy’ offers a counter narrative that depicts the social, cultural and political sensibilities of African people.

Authors: Sidow Nor Osman , Odabaş Faruk , Mohamed Abdiladhif , Sheikh Hassan Mohamed , Tuner Erkan
Published: December 2022

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) causes fever, muscle rigidity, and impaired mental status. Drugs that influence central dopaminergic neurotransmission and almost all neuroleptics, including newer atypical antipsychotics, are also associated with it. While uncommon, NMS remains a critical differential diagnosis for patients with fever and mental status changes due to the requirement for prompt resuscitation to prevent morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 21-year-old man with schizophrenia who attended the emergency room with generalized muscle rigidity, high-grade fever, and disturbed mental status for 12 days. His serum creatine phosphokinase was elevated (CPK). The computed tomography (CT) of the brain was normal, and the CSF was clear and cell-free. The patient was given muscle relaxants, dopamine agonists, and biperiden. After three days, rigidity, fever, and consciousness improved. A few cases of antipsychotic-induced NMS have been reported. Healthcare professionals should be aware of this fatal side effect.

Subsequent measurement of non current assets: The impact of the fair value concept choice on total comprehensive income of listed companies in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Arsenijević Aleksandra , Spasić Dejan
Published: December 2022

In response to investor demands, with the introduction of the fair value (FV) concept, other comprehensive income (OCI) has become a significant indicator of changes in the current values of certain financial statement items in successive periods. Although it deviates from the traditional concept of historical cost (HC) and its prudence principle, on which reliability rests, the use of fair value contributes to the relevance of the presented information. The total comprehensive income (TCI), as a summary of realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in the income statement, i.e. OCI, represents a valuable base of relevant information for investors and other users of financial statements. The paper focuses on a sample of listed entities on the Regulated Capital Market of Serbia for the period 2016-2020 and finds that the FV concept is predominantly used for the subsequent measurement of property, plant and equipment (PP&E). In addition, we analyze the impact of changes in the fair value of certain non-current assets' items (i.e.: PP&E, intangible assets and long-term investments) on TCI. Our research shows that some OCI items have a divergent impact on TCI, and, thus, different information power, which can increase uncertainty, i.e. make it harder for analysts to predict net income.

Authors: Bojanović Mila , Živković-Marinkov Emilija , Stamenković Bojana , Bojanović Mihajlo
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and it can be infectious, allergic or autoimmune. Acute rhinosinusitis commonly has viral origin and occurs as part of the upper respiratory tract infections. The most common pathogens are Streptococcus, Pneumococcus and Haemophilus influenzae. Some inflammations may start as viral, but develop into bacterial superinfection, i.e., subsequent colonization of the bacteria in 0.5-2% of cases. Viral sinusitis lasts for 7-10 days, whereas bacterial may take longer. The aim: The aim of this study was to compare three therapeutic protocols for the treatment of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Materials and Methods: A prospective clinical study was conducted at the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, Clinical Center Nis from October 2019 to January 2020, and it involved patients with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis in whom we compared the efficiency and safety of levofloxacin administration for five and 10 days with the efficiency of amoxicillin clavulanate treatment. The study included 62 patients with documented clinical and radiological symptoms. Results: Confirmation of bacterial etiology is not routinely performed in clinical practice since it requires antral puncture or endoscopic examination of the middle nasal meatus. Consequently, the choice of antibiotic therapy is empiric. In our study, we used levofloxacin for five (500 mg once a day) and 10 days (500 mg once a day) and amoxicillin-clavulanatefor 10 days (500 mg-125 mg three times a day), and the results showed no statistically significant difference in regard to the choice of antibiotics and the duration of therapy. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that a short course of antibiotic treatment has similar efficiency compared to a longer course of treatment of patients with uncomplicated acute bacterial sinusitis when treatment is indicated.

Authors: Miladinović-Tasić Nataša , Nikolić Katarina , Arizanović Kristina
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Oral cavity is the colonization site of most diverse microorganisms. The homeostasis of oral microbioma is affected by numerous factors. Periodontal diseases occur as a consequence of disturbed oral microbioma homeostasis, when an inflammatory reaction occurs in the periodontal tissue. The impact of parasites on periodontal pathophysiology has not been sufficiently studied, and present and future research should hopefully answer quite a few questions concerning the issue. Aim of the paper: In the light of the present knowledge of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and epidemiology of oral cavity infections caused by Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax, the aim of the paper was review of literature which could to point to the importance of protozoa in the practice of dentistry and to possible oral cavity manifestations of parasitic infections relevant for public health. Conclusion: Dentists have an essential role in the diagnosis of oral diseases caused by oral cavity protozoa, and protozoa relevant for public health that produce systemic infections, the pathological changes of which may manifest in the oral cavity. Their identification represents a challenge and requires multidisciplinary approach for a timely diagnosis and adequate management.
The contribution of foreign direct investment to economic growth in the selected emerging European countries: The evidence based upon the panel cointegration model
Authors: Bilas Vlatka , Franc Sanja
Published: December 2022

This paper is aimed at examining the fact whether foreign direct investment (FDI) and exports do contribute to economic growth in the thirteen European Union (EU) new member states (namely Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia) during the period from 2005 to 2020 or not. Various statistical tests were performed in order to examine the relationship and causality among the three observed series, including unit-root tests, the Kao and Pedroni cointegration tests, and finally the modified causality test. The obtained results are mixed. Although cointegration was established between FDI, exports and growth, the estimation of the long-term coefficients varied to such an extent that only ambiguous conclusions about the effect of FDI and exports on the growth of the real gross domestic product (GDP) could be reached. The research results imply the fact that positive effects of FDI and exports are neither automatic nor equal in all the countries, but the same rather depend on the many factors and conditions that the governments of the selected states should consider when designing policy measures for attracting FDI and promoting exports.

Although a complex taxation system can affect a company's operations, its negative effects can be significantly greater at the macroeconomic level. Given the fact that it can make it more difficult to attract investments and collect revenue, the corporate income tax system has been the subject matter of numerous research studies for many years now. Modern business conditions initiated their frequent reforms, as well as the numerous dilemmas related to them. The paper deals with the taxpayer as an element of corporate income tax. Although numerous papers investigate the (dis)unity of tax systems in defining corporate income taxpayers, few authors examine the economic effects of these discrepancies. Also, most research studies are focused on examining the other elements of this tax form, such as the tax rate or tax incentives. In this paper, an effort is made to find a connection between the form of the organization of a business entity and the tax burden in the domain of corporate income tax. The research study aims to indicate the importance of the economic effects of this tax element and to propose its reform. The research has confirmed the initial assumption, respectively; it has shown that different forms of the organization of business entities bear different burdens of paying corporate income tax, which affects the amount of the tax revenue that could be collected. The results have shown that the sampled companies paid less tax due to corrections and adjustments in tax balances and tax returns.

This research study is focused on the examination of the influence of the introduction and implementation of the monetary Inflation Targeting (IT) regime: the level of the inflation rate and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate, as well as inflation and the GDP volatility. Conditional variance is calculated by fitting an empirical Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model to an annualized quarterly date for the period from 1993Q1 to 2020Q3, all in order to assess volatility. The results of the regression model showed that there was a positive statistical significance between the instability of inflation and the instability of the growth rate of the GDP in the three analyzed countries (namely in Albania, Turkey and the Republic of Serbia). The result of introducing the IT regime when the GDP growth rate volatility is concerned is statistically significant in Serbia and Turkey and led to reduction in the GDP volatility and stabilization. However, the applied regression model indicated that, in the case of Albania and Romania, the introduction of the IT regime did not have a statistically significant impact on the GDP growth rate volatility.
The influence of different brand dimensions onto the customer value creation

Published: December 2022

Achieving the competitive advantage on the market is one of the basic business challenges for the market oriented companies. In order to attract the greatest possible number of customers there is a need to create value which shall be recognized by the customers as a superior or a greater one in the process of estimating alternatives compared to the competitive options. Brand is one of the most important determinants in creating value for the customers. Brand is a complex category and during the analysis of its influence onto the value creation it is needed to take into account its different dimensions. In accordance with the concepts of numerous studies in the area of marketing and customer management the influence of brand on value creation for customers is regarded via four main dimensions-brand awareness, developed brand loyalty, brand trust and the possibility to recognize the expected quality and meaning of a certain brand product. The paper uses a research model which encompasses all four brand dimensions and analyzes their influence onto the customer value creation. The empirical research has been carried out on a sample of 174 respondents in Serbia. Based on the gathered empirical data a significant brand dimension for the customers in Serbia has been identified. Based on the gained research results a difference has been tested in the importance of different brand dimensions for men and women. The paper offers significant theoretical and practical implications which indicate what brand dimensions need to be emphasized in the process of product and service branding and to which extent every one of them contributes to the customer growth value. Also, a brand dimension has been identified with a different influence on creating value with men and women, which is an important implication for the marketing strategy.

Published: December 2022

Virtual teams, as a group of people who perform work interdependently with the division of responsibilities in the outcomes of work tasks, significantly rely on technology that supports their communication and everyday work. The topic of this paper is the research on the connection between trust factors (individual, institutional and cognitive) and knowledge sharing in a team in the context of the efficiency of virtual teams. For this purpose, a correlation-regression study was conducted on a non-random sample of 132 respondents consisting of employees from teams that function exclusively as virtual, multicultural and multinational. Also, the mediator effect of knowledge sharing factors concerning trust, and efficiency of virtual teams were examined. The obtained results confirmed that all dimensions of trust - individual and institutional and cognitive trust are important for the efficient functioning of virtual teams. Contrary to the created hypotheses, it was shown that the factor of knowledge sharing in virtual teams is not a predictor of trust or efficiency of virtual teams.
Are cryptocurrencies a sustainable alternative to traditional currencies?
Authors: Lekpek Ahmedin
Published: December 2022

The great economic crisis has shown that the global financial system primarily protects those who are ,,too big to fail". In order to provide the common man at least a partial liberation from the hegemony of this bureaucratized and undemocratic system, Bitcoin was created, the first cryptocurrency that functions in a decentralized monetary system based on the blockchain. The emergence of cryptocurrencies, which are beyond the control of the traditional political and economic structures, has raised hopes that the world monetary system can be democratized and freed from the influence of inefficient regulatory institutions. This paper analyzes how realistic the scenario is that in the foreseeable future cryptocurrencies will prevail over traditional currencies, starting from the basic characteristics of cryptocurrencies, regulation of their accounting and tax status, mutual influence of monetary policy and cryptocurrency system, potential benefits that cryptocurrencies can offer to developing countries, as well as a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of cryptocurrencies and recommendations for their improvement.

Published: December 2022

An influence assessment of lightweight change on Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index/Energy Efficiency Design Index performance for two supramax bulk carriers is presented in this paper. The study covers a variation of lightweight from 100% to 85% with the step of 5% reduction. The influence on ship performance is determined through deadweight, reference speed, and engine load. In one part of the work, deadweight is considered to be constant, so the study covers the impact of displacement change on ship speed and power, while in the other one, displacement was kept the same so that the direct influence of deadweight on performance indices was considered. Due to displacement change, a new power curve should be derived, and for this purpose, the Holtrop-Mennen method has been used to predict total resistance. Estimated results show that an increase in speed can be up to 0,7% for the same power and a reduction in power up to 2,6% for the same speed. An increase of a deadweight affects the performance indices up to 3,2%.

Published: December 2022

This paper analyses the influence of machining strategies and cutting parameters on the milling of aluminium complex geometry parts. In the first experimental phase, parts were machined with a combination of two roughing strategies and three finishing strategies, with recommended machining parameters. The machining time, machining surface roughness, and the surface geometric accuracy were measured. In the second phase, a new sample was machined with corrected cutting parameters using the best strategy adopted from the first phase. The results have shown that the selection of machining strategy and cutting parameters significantly affects the productivity, quality, and accuracy when machining complex geometry parts.
