A plasma-liquid system with the activation of H2O distillate and 0.1 M ferrocene solution in organic solvents (ethanol, acetonitrile) with a rotating gliding discharge plasma was studied. The research was conducted using various plasma-forming gases (air, Ar, N2, CO2). Determination of plasma parameters was performed by plasma emission spectroscopy methods. It was shown that the plasma of both the rotating gliding discharge and the plasma of the secondary discharge supported by the gliding discharge are non-isothermal. The study of the physicochemical properties of the synthesis products was performed by adsorption, luminescence analysis, polarimetry, chromatographymass spectrometry and NMR methods. It was found that cyclopentadiene ligands of ferrocene disproportionate into saturated cyclic hydrocarbons (cyclopentane and pentane). Also, as a result of plasma chemical synthesis, aromatic compounds (benzene and its derivatives) are formed.

A computer model of the system for forming neutron fluxes at the output of a linear electron accelerator has been developed in the Geant4 programming environment. The system for forming neutron fluxes consists of a monoenergetic neutron source, a graphite reflector, a polyethylene moderator, lead protection and detector. With the help of the model, a number of virtual experiments on 107 primary neutrons were carried out for the energy range of the neutron source from 0.1 to 1.1 MeV. The dependence of the ratio of the number of neutrons falling on the detector with a reflector to the number of neutrons without a reflector is determined, on the energy of the neutron source. Energy spectra of neutrons falling on the detector are determined. It was established that the graphite reflector not only increases the number of particles falling on the detector, but also moderated the energy spectrum of neutrons. The neutron background in the accelerator bunker when using a reflector decreases from 2 to 7 times, depending on the energy of the neutron source.

Published: December 2023

The study aimed to assess Nile tilapia’s (Oreochromis niloticus) growth performance and body chemical composition through varying levels of L-Glutamic acid supplementation. In the experiment, four different groups of feed were prepared; the control C (0% L-Glutamic acid), G1 (1% L-Glutamic acid), G2 (2% L-Glutamic acid), and G3 (3% L-Glutamic acid). Tilapia juveniles with an average initial weight of 4.86 g were stocked into 12 fiberglass tanks (450L) with 40 individuals and three replications under controlled conditions, and the experiment was continued for a period of 60 days. At the end of the experiment, for the G2 group final weight (FW, 19.31±0.59 g), specific growth rate (SGR; 2.30±0.05), feed conversion ratio (FCR; 1.02±0.03), daily growth rate (DGR; 4.95±0.20) protein efficiency ratio (PER 2.83±0.10) and net protein utilization (NPU; 61.62±3.39) were better than the other groups (P<0.05). Nutritional composition data showed that the groups differed between protein, dry matter, and lipid compositions. The G2 group exhibited the highest whole-body protein level, recording a value of 21.24±0.52, whereas the control group demonstrated the lowest protein level at 20.17±0.15. In conclusion, incorporating 2% L-Glutamic acid into the diet of juvenile Nile tilapia is advisable for both the growth and development of the fish and for enhancing their nutritional composition.

Published: December 2023

The relationship between economic development and carbon dioxide emissions in the Western Balkans and the neighboring countries has been a subject of significant interest and study. Economic development, which involves increased industrialization, urbanization, trade, household, and energy consumption, is often associated with higher carbon dioxide emissions due to the burning of fossil fuels. Researchers have investigated how various factors such as economic growth, population size, energy mix, and technological advancements influence carbon dioxide emissions in different regions of the world. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the carbon dioxide emissions and a set of economic factors which include gross domestic product, trade, household consumption and energy use, using the panel vector error correction model. The analysis includes nine countries from the Western Balkans and the neighboring countries and annual data for the period 2000 – 2019. The research uses panel unit root tests, cointegration testing and estimation of vector error correction model. The model has confirmed that shocks that emerge in gross domestic product, total trade and household consumption increase the carbon dioxide emission in the long-term. The effect from the private (household) consumption is with the highest intensity, compared to other factors. A shock in trade causes a decline in carbon dioxide emissions in the long-term.

In this study, we aim to present the first bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurial education research focusing on entrepreneurial competencies for the timeline 1998–2022, using the PRISMA protocol for conducting systematic literature reviews. We analyze 104 publications (articles, proceedings papers, and book chapters) in the citation topic Meso, Management search in Web of Science. In descriptive analytics, we present our findings on the distribution of articles by year, an artificial intelligence-driven visual (a "decomposition tree") for the citation distribution based on publisher and source title, and the top five most cited publications and top cited authors. However, the main focus of this study is identifying the research hotspots in the whole analyzed period and the last five years (2018–2022) by mining the abstracts with the use of the VOSiewer software. We present network visualization maps for the two specified periods with detailed explanations for each cluster keyword. The initial results suggest an implicative overall clustering around three main fields: personal traits and entrepreneurial intentions; practical skills and experiences; academy and society. Still, results for the last five years are presenting specializations in four segments: courses training and mindset; experience capacity and intention; knowledge, skills, and values; regional integration, policy, and technology. Based on our practical implications suggested, higher education management is offered options for taking further action for curriculum development, as well as relevant future research directions that can assist researchers in designing their research in this crucially important research field for each region worldwide.

Published: December 2023

Background: Several research studies have been devoted to the relationship between leadership and employee performance. They provided significant results that leadership styles have a positive correlation with employee performance. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to examine how strong is correlation between leadership styles and employee performance in the private sector in Kosovo. This relationship between those variables has been little investigated by researchers in Kosovo, and from the research that we analyzed none of them take a laissez-faire style for research. We will consider three leadership styles: laissez-faire, transactional, and transformational leadership, along with employee performance, to provide the relationship between them. We will also discuss review papers that measured the correlation between these variables. Methods: A study was conducted to determine if there is a significant linear relationship between leadership style and employee performance. The research utilized Pearson’s Correlation and collected data through questionnaires distributed to employees and managers in various private-sector industries in Kosovo. A random sampling technique was used to collect 235 samples from the manufacturing, service, construction, and wholesale industries. The questionnaire was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27. Yousef's (2000) scale was used to measure employee performance, while the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass and Avolio 1995) was used to measure laissez-faire and transactional leadership, and transformational leadership was measured using a 7-item scale from Carless, Wearing, and Mann (2002). Results: According to the findings of the research, it has been confirmed that leadership styles have a low but positive correlation with employee performance. There is no statistically significant correlation between laissez-faire leadership and employee performance. Transactional leadership and transformational leadership have a low but positive correlation with employee performance. Also, the results show that most of the employees consider that personal performance is higher than their peers in the same kind of work around 5.88%.

In this paper, we apply the 2021 edition of OECD Trade Facilitation Indicators (TFIs) in the gravity model to measure the importance of applying trade facilitation measures to increase intraregional trade among the 10 SEE countries: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia. The purpose of the paper is to indicate area(s) where countries could undertake measures to facilitate trade and enhance the process of trade integration in the region of Southeast Europe. Although most of these countries trade among themselves on a preferential basis, many studies pointed out that there are still areas and barriers that hinder their mutual trade. The results of our study show that decreasing fees and charges, harmonization and decreasing the number of documents, automatizing the process of trading, and improving governance and impartiality of the Customs administration could positively influence trade among these countries. These results are additional confirmation of our previous studies in this area which firmly acknowledge the area where trade policy creators should pay due attention.

The phenomenon of impulse buying has been attracting the attention of researchers and practitioners worldwide for decades and it continues to attract attention in e-commerce domain in recent years. However, there are few studies on the determinants of online impulse buying behavior of young consumers especially in developing countries. Therefore, this study research aims to fill this gap and explore the influencing factors on young consumers' impulsive behaviour while online in North Macedonia. Followed by the accelerated growth of e-commerce in North Macedonia especially during and after pandemic, the interest on impulse buying behaviour of online consumers has increased from marketing and business perspective. This study examines the crucial factors impacting consumers online impulse buying behaviour based on the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A survey was conducted via an online questionnaire, among 151 young respondents from March to May 2023. Demographic data was collected as well as data considering shopping online habits and structure of goods/services shopped online. The basic constructs of the initial model, such as perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards use, were examined. Specific new constructs of interest were added in the research such as individual characteristics (impulsiveness) and environment mainly including website quality measured by several features in relation to impulse buying. The data analysis supports the presumption that personal tendency to buy on impulse is the most significant predictor of impulse buying intention online. The model developed in this study provides relevant theoretical and practical implications by confirming that some of the tested factors are critical in online impulsive buying behaviour of generation Z consumers in a developing country context. Findings can be instrumental in the context of web design and choice of products and/or services to be offered as items for impulse buyers in North Macedonia.

Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Economics – Skopje, Arsov Sasho
Published: December 2023

The goal of this paper is to investigate the impact of concentration in the banking sector on the economic and financial stability. Having in mind that the European countries are predominantly bank-centered, we begin with the assumption that too much power concentrated in a small number of financial institutions could have a significant impact on the entire economy. Therefore, our aim is to examine the impact of concentration in the banking sector on the stability of both the financial system and the economy. For the purpose of the study, we have created a sample of 44 European countries, with data covering the period 2000-2021. The methodology involves two econometric techniques: logistic regression and the Generalized Method of Moments procedure to address the problem of possible endogeneity of the data. Using a set of independent variables representing the level of concentration and competition, as well as a set of controlling variables, the results show that the higher concentration of assets among the largest banks has a negative impact on economic stability, while the impact on financial stability is undetermined. The remaining variables show that the countries with higher growth rates and higher capital investments exhibit more stable growth, while the impact of inflation is generally negative.
Morphological and Genetic Diversity of Schoenoplectiella mucronata (L.) J. Jung & H. K. Choi (Ricefield Bulrush) in Rice
Authors: KAYA ALTOP Emine
Published: December 2023

Since the beginning of rice cultivation, weed control has been a problem in Türkiye as well as in many other countries. Rice has both an important cultural plant and limited production for Türkiye. There are significant yield losses due to weeds and therefore weed control has an important place in rice agriculture. Species belonging to the genus Scirpus in rice production areas have recently become an important problem in rice cultivation areas of Türkiye as well as in rice cultivation areas of many other countries. In order to determine the morphological and genetic diversity of Scirpus mucronata, which is a problem in rice cultivation areas in Türkiye, 62 populations collected from the rice production areas of the Marmara and Black Sea Regions were evaluated over 8 ISSR primers and 12 morphological parameters. In the ISSR study, observed and expected heterozygosity levels ranged from 0.192 to 0.970 and from 0.136 to 0.566, respectively. In the morphological and molecular analyses performed, differences were detected in some quantitative characters between the examined populations. While morphological similarities were found between the populations grown in different regions that could not be ignored, genetic diversity was found to be higher. Morphological and genetic relationships between populations were not found to be related to geographic distance. In the context of the results, it is important to focus on field management practices such as cultural methods, as well as good control of rice seed traffic and herbicide use. It should not be forgotten that these measures are important in terms of integrated weed management strategies.

A Conceptual Study and Significance of Oja According to Ayurveda
Authors: Yadav Indiwar , Kadu Smita , Kumar Verma Sanjay
Published: December 2023

Ayurveda, renowned as the science of life, is dedicated to preserving the well-being of living organisms by both preventing and treating illnesses. Central to Ayurvedic treatment (Chikitsa) is principles outlined in its literature, including the concepts of Ojas and Vyadhikshamatva. Ojas, situated in the heart (hridaya), extend throughout the body, governing its processes. The presence of Ojas is fundamental for the sustenance of life, aligning various bodily states, and preventing destruction. This principle is crucial in the body’s defense against disease-causing agents, halting pathogenesis. Ayurvedic literature explicates Ojas as essence of all Dhatus, representing Bala (strength) of each body part. Ojas is likened to Bala, providing physical, mental, and immunological resistance against ailments. Vyadhikshamatva, the body’s capacity to ward off illness, parallels the contemporary concept of immunity in science. Ojas, as a vital force, ensures the body’s survival and alignment of various states when present. It serves as the cornerstone for the body’s resilience against diseases. Vyadhikshamatva, akin to modern immunity, safeguards against harmful infections. The alignment of Ayurvedic principles with contemporary scientific concepts establishes the relevance of Ojas and Vyadhikshamatva in maintaining health and preventing diseases. Recognizing Ojas as the essence of Dhatus underscores its role in physical, mental, and immunological strength. Incorporating these principles into health applications, particularly in addressing immune disorders, can offer holistic approaches in line with Ayurvedic wisdom. Understanding and harnessing Ojas and Vyadhikshamatva could prove instrumental in developing Ayurvedic remedies for enhancing immunity, promoting overall well-being.
A Comprehensive Review of Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema from an Ayurveda Point of View
Authors: Tripathi Ankur , Fiaz Shamsa , Sharma Swati
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Diabetes and other related disorders, such as hypertension, are involved in diabetic retinopathy (DR), a chronic, progressive disease of the retinal microvasculature that threatens vision. The retinal pre-capillary arterioles, capillaries, and venules are impacted by DR. Hyperglycemia damages capillary walls, endothelial cells, retinal cells, and capillary pericytes. It also thickens the capillary basement membrane. The blood-retina barrier is broken down by microangiopathy, which can result in retinal edema, bleeding, lipid leakage (hard exudates), micro-aneurysms, hemorrhages, ischemia, and intraretinal microvascular abnormalities. Materials and Methods: Ayurveda classical texts along with the internet sources such as Google Scholar and PubMed were reviewed upon to collect the literature available as per the aims of the present article. Discussion and Conclusion: In Ayurveda, DR can be understood as Pramehajanya Timira. Due to prolonged uncontrolled hyperglycemia, two types of pathology in Madhumeha: Dhatukshayajanya and Avaranajanya play a crucial role in the development of DR. Dhatus are expelled from the body in Dhatukshaya, which leads to several pathogenic events and the development of DME. Attipravritti, Sanga, Siragranthi, and Vimarga Gamana are the four varieties of Srotodusti that are known to be important in the development of DR and macular edema.

Advertisement prevalence in society has been increasing throughout its growth. The field of advertising is always evolving in society, with settings and characteristics that are continually advancing. Advertisements has a formidable capacity to captivate individuals by using compelling language in suitable written content. In this scenario, advertising no longer serves as a supplementary component, but rather has evolved into a crucial aspect. The interpretation that arises in individuals' brains about a document or commercial often transforms into a collective and universally comprehended meaning. Deconstruction is a method that involves dissecting established meaning into smaller components, analyzing them, and reconstructing a new meaning that deviates from the commonly accepted understanding. Deconstruction fundamentally reconfigures established meanings into novel interpretations that may be seen as identical, like, or divergent significations. This article examines the principles of deconstruction from the viewpoint of Derrida. Through the adoption and use of advertising and deconstruction, one may get fresh perspectives on the significance and utility of deconstruction in the selection of language and text for commercials.

Abstract

Economic complexity has been one of the key topics in evolutionary economic geography recently. It focuses on the structural transformation of industries and endogenous growth paths contributes to the understanding of the process of structural transformation of regional economies and is important for the deepening of theories such as development economics. However, little attention is currently being paid to the quantitative description of the evolution of this rapidly developing field of study. Therefore, to reveal the development process, hot topics and evolutionary trends of economic complexity research, a bibliometric approach and the visual analysis software CiteSpace were implemented based on 403 literatures related to economic complexity in the Web of Science core database from 1998-2022. The results show that the overall trend of economic complexity is on the rise, with hot topics involving diversity, export complexity, ecology and environment, international trade and many other fields. At the same time, the overall distribution of authors is relatively fragmented, and there is less interdisciplinary collaboration between highly productive authors. Most publishers have formed collaborative relationships with other institutions, and those that publish more have formed close partnerships.

Self-determined motivation fosters better learning and sustained health behaviour adoption than controlled motivation. Self-determined motivation can be strengthened by satisfying the need for autonomy. Therefore, this study investigated if adolescents’ (1) intrinsic motivation to learn about safer sex and (2) self-determined motivation to perform safer sex would be higher when an online message is presented in autonomy-supportive language compared to controlling language. Furthermore, this study also investigated if adolescents’ (1) intrinsic motivation to learn about safer sex and (2) self-determined motivation to perform safer sex changes depending on whether the online message is written by someone that is similar to them. To this end, a 2 (autonomy-supportive language vs. controlling language) x 2 (identification vs. no identification) experimental study (N = 214) was conducted using a website page about safe sex from the Dutch sexual health website sense.info. Even though we found some indications of the expected effects, a two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed no significant difference for either autonomy-supportive language, identification, or an interaction of both strategies. However, we found some preliminary evidence that this could be due to a ceiling effect. We therefore recommend further exploring these strategies, considering some lessons learned.

Purpose: The cultural beliefs of a group of people play a pivotal role in determining the nutritional status and well-being of the people. Understanding food beliefs and practices is critical to the development of dietary recommendations, nutritional programmes, and educational messages. An aspect of cultural beliefs that greatly affect majority of people especially children, pregnant women and the aged is food taboos and avoidance practices. The main aim of this study is to explore the various food taboos and its associated practices that affect pregnant women in Larteh.

Materials and Methods: The study employed aspects of quantitative and qualitative approaches, and used the cross-sectional exploratory design. The random sampling technique was used to select 75 participants for the quantitative aspect, whilst the purposive sampling approach was used to select five opinion leaders for the qualitative aspect. A closed-ended structured questionnaire was used to obtain quantitative data, whilst a structured interview guide was used to collect the qualitative data. Whilst the quantitative data was analysed using frequencies and percentages in IBM-SPSS v9, the qualitative data was analysed using narratives. The results were presented in tables.

Findings: Among the key findings were pregnant women were forbidden from eating snails, crabs, shellfish mudfish and eggs. It was further revealed that the people perceive these taboos as a way to protect pregnant women from experiencing stillbirths, deformities and delayed labour, among others.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The sociological theory of functionalist perceptive anchored the study and its assertion that food taboos and avoidance practices are handed down to generations was affirmed. It was thus suggested that there should be public education on the nutritional needs of people in Larteh, especially the vulnerable so that adequate provision can be made for them because of food scarcity and limited choices of food commodities due to numerous food taboos and avoidance practices. Moreover, given the deep-rooted nature of the beliefs, it is advisable that when nutritious foods are restricted, nutritional interventions should rather search for alternative sources of nutrition, which are available and considered appropriate for pregnant women.
