Prevalence and Antifungal Susceptibility Pattern of Candida species Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infections
Authors: Lawal IA , Osinupebi OA , Adeosun OV 
Published: December 2021

Background: The presence of Candida species in the urine is termed candiduria, and it is a common form of urinary tract infection (UTI). Many other species of Candida organism apart from Candida albicans are known with increasing the occurrence of resistance to available antifungal agents.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and sensitivity pattern of Candida isolates obtained from urine samples of diagnosed urinary tract infections.
Methods: Midstream urine of patients attending the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja Lagos, were collected and inoculated on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Microbiological processing was done with Gram reaction, germ tube test, CHROME agar TM and sugar fermentation test using API 32C system. Antifungal susceptibility tests were done using the agar disc diffusion method.
Results: Candida species were obtained from 36 (12.9%) of 280 patients with UTI. Candida albicans (CA) had the highest frequency (12; 33.3%) compared to 24 (66.7%) for Non-albicans Candida (NAC). The speciation of Candida using Chrome Agar showed some misidentification from the API32C identification, but there was a significant correlation between API32C and Chrome Agar methods (r = 0. 9793). Half of the C. albicans species were sensitive to fluconazole while C. hellenica was only sensitive to Nystatin. The C. parapsilopsis had the highest susceptibility pattern, with 86% and 71% for fluconazole and ketoconazole, respectively. Generally, ketoconazole had the highest effectiveness on Candida species.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated the role of Candida species in UTIs and their high susceptibility to ketoconazole.

Published: December 2021

Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in developed countries, becoming prevalent in the developing world. Risk behaviour may result in unfavourable outcomes in cardiovascular diseases. Secondary school teachers constitute a large cohort of educated middle-level income earners who can influence young and upcoming individuals due to their profession.
Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude and at-risk behaviour for heart diseases among secondary school teachers in Ibadan Metropolis.
Methods: A cross-sectional research design was used. Self- developed, field pre-tested questionnaire was employed to collect the relevant data from 200 randomly teachers. Cronbach alpha method was used to test the internal consistency of the test instruments and a measure of its scale in reliability.
Results: The study population comprised 39.0% males and 61.0% females. Most of the respondents (58.5%) were over 40 years, with an overall mean age of 40.2±3.1 years. The knowledge of secondary school teachers about heart diseases was poor (47.8%), while attitude and at-risk behaviours were unsatisfactory (weighted means 2.34 and 2.23 respectively against a criterion of 2.5).
Conclusion: The secondary school teachers in Ibadan Metropolis had poor knowledge of heart diseases and demonstrated poor attitude and unsatisfactory at-risk behaviour about the diseases.

Abstract
Agricultural commodity financing in the warehouse receipt system has not performed as expected in Indonesia. According to several studies, it is due to many obstacles hindering the system to grow. This study identifies the constraints on agricultural commodities financing on the warehouse receipt system. The research was conducted through in-depth interviews with certain respondents who have knowledge or experience in agricultural commodities financing based on a warehouse receipt system implemented on agricultural commodities such as coffee, pepper, rice, and maize. The collected data are identified, grouped, and classified in a structured manner in the pattern of strategic thinking and analyzed by descriptive analysis. The study succeeded to identify the barriers that hindering agricultural commodities financing in warehouse receipt system to grow in Indonesia: the incompatibility of the value built with the characteristics of agriculture business, especially for small farmers; limited financing sources, incompatibility of financing schemes and features, financing prices and farmer economies of scale and supply of information that affects awareness of financing. These problems must be minimized to encourage the accessibility and continuity of financing on WRS for farmers in Indonesia.

Bargaining over Remittances in Tajik Extended Families
Authors: Rosy Sabiha Yeasmin , Nejati Fatemeh 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of male labor migration upon wives living among their husbands’ extended families in Tajikistan. It studies the risks and choices available to such wives in bargaining for remittances, with a particular focus on the risks that daughters-in-law (kelin in Tajik) undertake when negotiating remittances with their mothers-in-law. This paper explores age and gender-specific norms in Tajik transnational families and their minimal opportunities for kelins to bargain and negotiate the risks associated with making “claims” on remittances by using Deniz Kandiyoti’s “patriarchal bargain” and Bina Agarwal’s household bargain framework, as well as extensive fieldwork conducted in Tajikistan. The study concludes that international migration and remittances have had a complex impact on gender norms in Tajikistan, with emerging new forms of passive negotiation by kelins unlikely to undermine patriarchal gender norms in their favor.
Kazakhstan in World War II: Authors and Publishers of Post-1991 History Textbooks
Authors: Dukeyev Berikbol 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The paper examines the production of secondary-school textbooks published between 1992 and 2019 that address the Soviet history of Kazakhstan. It argues that textbook authors exercise agency when discussing Kazakhstan’s participation in the Second World War. While some authors focus squarely on the heroism of Kazakhs and the Kazakh nation’s contribution to the final victory, others build upon this narrative by discussing the human losses incurred and the experiences of ordinary people. This article contributes to studies looking at portrayals of World War II in post-Soviet countries’ history textbooks.
Authoritarian Regime Stability in Uzbekistan under Patronal President Islam Karimov
Authors: Zakirov Bekzod 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This paper investigates the nature of Uzbekistan’s political system under President Islam Karimov through the lenses of patronal presidentialism to explain the factors conducive to the durability of the current regime. The paper argues that the longevity of the authoritarian regime in Uzbekistan can be best understood by a methodology that reconciles the propositions of institutional analysis of authoritarian rule with conventional methods of maintaining power such as coercion and patronage. Revealing the limitation of mainstream literature that overemphasizes neopatrimonialism and informality to understand domestic politics, the paper asserts that patronal president Islam Karimov assumed multiple instruments of power at the intersection of state and economy, which ensured regime stability in Uzbekistan until his death in 2016.
Identity of Kazakhstan’s Uyghurs: Migration, Homeland, and Language
Authors: Kamalov Ablet 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This article examines the ethno-national identity of Uyghurs in Kazakhstan, which, during the period of independence, has been undergoing a complex process of transformation from ‘Sovietness’ to ‘Kazakhstanness.’ This transformation is shaped by the ethnic policy of Kazakhstan, aiming for the consolidation of society and formation of a united Kazakhstani nation. Post-Soviet development not only produces threats to the Uyghur ethnic identity, but also creates new perspectives for it. The article focuses on some dimensions of the Uyghur identity determined by cross-border migration from the Xinjiang-Uyghur autonomous region of the neighboring People’s Republic of China and Soviet national policy, such as language, cultural institutions, and existence of the Uyghur district in the Almaty province. Analysis of the discourse of vätän (motherland) shows a shift to a perception of Kazakhstan as a homeland.
The Chechens and Kurds of Kazakhstan between Historical and Second Homelands
Authors: Eschment Beate 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Almost all minority ethnic groups in Kazakhstan are immigrants. This means that in addition to their current place of residence, Kazakhstan (their “Second Homeland”), they also have a place of origin (their “Historical Homeland”). The leadership of the country has approached this situation, which offers opportunities as well as dangers, by explicitly exhorting the official ethnic representations of minorities to nurture contacts with their Historical Homelands. In this article the examples of the Chechens and Kurds will be used to show how the representations of both ethnicities actively and politically pursued this task. For both groups, representing a nation without an independent state, a fourth actor must be added to the “triangle nexus” familiar from diaspora studies, respectively Russia and Turkey, whose positions the Kazakhstani government cannot simply disregard. What emerges from the study is the strong emotional link of both minorities’ representatives with Kazakhstan as their Second Homeland.
Stimmenarrangement
Authors: Reichlin Susanne 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Frauenlob’s Marienleich has been studied primarily from the perspective of its elaborate metaphors and allegories. Scholars have identified the source of these metaphors in the exegesis of the Song of Songs as well as other Old Testament books and described the overlapping of diverse metaphorical traditions in the text.
This paper argues that not only the metaphors, but also the voices of the Marienleich are artfully arranged. The essay shows how switching of the voice, echo effects, and multiplication of the voice create a polyphony that reflects the intertextual underpinning of Marian praise as well as Mary’s mediatory position between God and the faithful who praise her.
Ein anders unfester Text
Authors: Herweg Mathias 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Printed anonymously in 1587, the henceforth immensely successful Historia von D. Johann Fausten is both a textual and a narratologic provocation. This is brought about by the polyphony of sources and genres compiled by its author which do not produce a homogeneous whole. But it is also the result of a specific, hybrid conception of text and narration, which intendedly creates ambiguity and scatters irritation everywhere. A valid interpretation is thereby sheerly impossible, which presumably is the most significant reason for the long and controversial discussions among readers and re-tellers, running from Christopher Marlowe (1592) and the Wagnerbuch (1593) up to Thomas Mann’s Doktor Faustus (1947). This article explores some essential textual aspects of this inexhaustible narrative, such as the discursive and hermeneutic predominance of intradiegetic instances (first of all Mephostophiles) and the decommissioning of the narrator by inserted documents, transtextual references, and primarily by paratexts which almost lead a life of their own on the margins of the story in a proper sense. In this way, the text gets fluid, and its reception becomes an endless search for a coherent meaning which isn’t right there.
Sinn und Sinnlichkeit der Allegorie
Authors: Fluhrer Sandra 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Der Beitrag widmet sich bildallegorischen Darstellungen des frühneuzeitlichen Tactus, des Fühlen und Tasten vereinigenden Gefühlssinns. Detaillektüren zweier um 1600 entstandenen Stiche zeigen die Tactus-Allegorien als Exempel frühneuzeitlicher Theoriearbeit zwischen Sinn und Sinnlichkeit. Über ihren Aufbau evozieren die Allegorien Bildrhythmen, die den allegorischen Ausdruck als Erfahrungszusammenhang erlebbar machen, der sich einer strikten Teleologie und Intelligibilität widersetzt. Die frühneuzeitlichen Sinnesallegorien stehen im Horizont des Selbstbewusstwerdens eines ästhetischen Systems, avant la lettre, zu dem auch die Ausdifferenzierung der Konzepte von Gefühl und Takt gehört. Die Tactus-Allegorien reflektieren die Konkurrenz zwischen theologisch-allegorischem und ästhetischem System und entwickeln über ihr Spiel mit Sinn und Sinnlichkeit eine neue Spannung zwischen ästhetischem Regelwerk und ästhetischer Erfahrung.
„On a touché au vers“
Authors: Sohns Hanna 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Der Aufsatz schlägt vor, Stéphane Mallarmés Vers-Krise von der Berührung her zu denken. In einer berühmten Passage bringt Mallarmé die literarische Lage Frankreichs zu seiner Zeit auf den Moment der Berührung: „Es ist an den Vers gerührt worden“, steht im Zentrum seiner Diagnose. Eine solche Berührung lässt sich mit den literarischen Formexperimenten seiner Zeit in Verbindung setzen. Gerührt wird an das Dogma des Verses in seiner Unberührbarkeit. Nimmt man den Begriff der Berührung in seiner Ambivalenz ernst, so geht es bei dieser Berührung des Verses um mehr. Mallarmé rührt mit dem toucher au vers an die Vorstellung dessen, wie eine Berührung des Verses, das heißt wie das Schreiben von Literatur überhaupt zu denken wäre. Dabei entzieht er dem Vers seine Gegenständlichkeit und Instrumentalität. Über die Berührung entwirft er ein anderes, nämlich ein von Distanz bestimmtes Verhältnis zwischen Autor und Werk, das für die French Theory und ihr Konzept der Berührung essenziell sein wird.
Der „Takt der Hand“
Authors: Ronzheimer Elisa 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Konjunktur des ‚Takts‘ nimmt der Beitrag den Begriff in den Schriften Theodor W. Adornos in den Blick. Eine Kontextualisierung in Adornos Gesamtwerk zeigt die Notwendigkeit einer Differenzierung des Begriffs in unterschiedlichen Zusammenhängen. Deutlich wird vor allem der Stellenwert des Takts für Adornos ästhetisches Denken, in dem der Begriff eine produktionsästhetische Kategorie markiert und das Vermögen des modernen Künstlers zu einer Formgebung bezeichnet, die Kontingenz als konstitutives Moment der Materialbeherrschung begreift. Als solcher wird der Taktbegriff in Adornos Kritik des Klassizismus bemüht, in der er den Punkt markiert, an dem der Widerstand gegen die Gewalt, die das Individuum durch die (Form-)Konvention erleidet, in die Fortsetzung der Gewalt durch das autonome Individuum umschlägt.
In Tact?
Authors: Brandstetter Gabriele 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Berührungen spielen im Tanz eine zentrale Rolle: Durch sie werden Motionen und Emotionen übertragen – und auch unterbrochen, gestört. Taktilität reguliert und de/synchronisiert „bodies in tact“. Im Folgenden soll anhand von Beispielen aus dem Bereich des Postmodern Dance (Trisha Browns Spanish Dance) und des zeitgenössischen Tanzes (Meg Stuart & Philipp Gehmachers Duo Maybe Forever) gefragt werden, wie Choreografien mit inter- und intrakorporalen Synchronisierungen arbeiten. Welche Modi des in oder aus dem Takt Tanzens werden sichtbar? Lassen sich – im zeitgenössischen Tanz – Hinweise auf eine Reflexion des Phänomens der „berührungslosen Gesellschaft“ (Elisabeth von Thadden) finden?
Takt und Taktlosigkeit in Ridley Scotts A Good Year (2006)
Authors: Günther Friederike Felicitas 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Ridley Scotts Film A Good Year (2006) zeigt den Wandel eines selbstsüchtigen Londoner Börsianers zu einem Land und Leute respektierenden Winzer inmitten der französischen Weinkultur. Dieses recht schlichte Plädoyer für einen naturnahen Lebensrhythmus gegen den leblosen Takt der Zivilisation wird allerdings dadurch unterlaufen, dass der Film immer wieder auch auf die artifizielle Struktur dieser Vorstellung einer Rückkehr zu sich selbst bzw. zur Natur verweist.

Authors: Niroula Bhabindra , Jha Sasinath 
Published: December 2021

Assessment of seasonal distribution and dominancy of herbaceous species of a grazed grassland of Budhanagar, eastern Terai region of Nepal was carried out in 2010. A total of 33 species: grasses (10), sedges (5), legumes (4) and non- legumes (14) were recorded with distinct seasonal occurrence. Most dominant species throughout the year were: Chrysopogon aciculatus (biomass 91.0-1720.5 g/m2; IVI 78.8-99.8 ); Desmodium triflorum (biomass 30-679.3 g/m2; IVI 13.8-41.7) and Imperata cylindrical ( biomass 12.0-83.3 g/m2; IVI 20.7-34.6). Maximum total community biomass (3650.7 ± 19.1 g/m2) was recorded in rainy and minimum (175.0 ± 4.1 g/m2) in summer season. Maximum percent contribution by biomass and IVI of grasses was in winter season (90.3 and 76.2); sedges (17.1 and 19.0) and legume (12.6 and 15.0) in rainy season and that of non-legume in summer season (7.5 and 15.7) to the total community biomass and IVI, respectively.
Knowledge based human resource management and employee creativity: the dual mediation of knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding
Authors: Lugar Caleb , Novićević Rajko 
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Employee creativity is an essential element that is required for the dynamic work environments. Companies able to foster employee creativity through knowledge based human resource management practices enhance their competitive advantage over companies who stifle employee creativity. The conceptual model in this paper aims to demonstrate that knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding mediate the relationship between knowledge based human resource management practices and employee creativity. The implementation of knowledge based human resource management practices can lead to increased knowledge sharing and decreased knowledge hiding both of which will result in increased employee creativity.
Aim and tasks. The aim of this paper is to build on social exchange theory as the foundational theory for understanding how knowledge based human resource management practices impact employee creativity through the mediators of knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding.
Results. In previous research have studied the relationship between knowledge behaviors and employee creativity while accounting for motivational climate, transformational leadership, goal orientation, and various human resource management practices. Many of these factors have traditionally been exogenous variables to the individual employees working in organizations. While social exchange theory implies a dyadic exchange, it would be relevant to examine the endogenous variants within employees that might contribute to differential reactions to reciprocation. It is substantiated that individuals that have different exchange ideologies react differently to organizational support. The first section includes a literature review of the constructs - knowledge based human resource management, knowledge sharing, knowledge hiding, and employee creativity. The second section provides a model focusing on the impact social exchange theory has on the constructs, including theory-based propositions. In reviewing this model, the paper makes theoretical contributions to the constructs and social exchange theory. The final section provides direction for future research and discussion.
Conclusions. Creativity is the fuel for the 21st century’s competitive organizations. Researchers and practitioners alike rely on creativity to solve problems and improve products and services around the globe. It is important to deeply understand the antecedents necessary for creativity so that organizations employ systems and process that are conducive for creative production. From the theoretical foundations laid out in this paper, knowledge based human resource management practices will increase employee creativity through increased knowledge sharing and decreased knowledge hiding.
