Procurement Planning of Livable Housing in Time Series for Balancing the Supply-Demand
Authors: Musyafa Albani
Published: October 2023

Ideally, the supply and demand of an item or service must meet the principle of balance, including the provision of livable housing for the wider community. Procurement of livable houses for the general public in Indonesia is carried out by the Government, developers and Corporate Social Responsibility program and communities. Currently, the community is experiencing a very large shortage (backlog) of livable houses. The existing supply is expected to reduce or clear the backlog. The purpose of this paper is to calculate the needs and procurement in a time series so that the supply-demand balance of livable houses is achieved. The methods used in this calculation are: a. formulate concepts and variables for calculating the need for livable houses and calculating the procurement based on realistic production potential of the livable house, b. search for relevant data available online and valid for these calculations, and c. doing trial and error so that there is a supply-demand balance at a realistic time based on the amount of the backlog value and the existing build capacity. The results obtained from this study are that the balance between supply and demand will occur at the end of 2048 if there is a supply of around 2.7 million livable housing units per year starting in 2023

TESOL Teachers’ Resilience to Encounter Challenges and Explore Opportunities during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study
Authors: Izzah Navisatul , Febria Desty
Published: October 2023

The pandemic situation was not easy for teachers around the world. While they were forced to continue the learning process, many teachers did not get adequate support from the institutions such as the online learning platform and training related to the implementation of distance learning. There have been studies related to teachers’ resilience such as comparing teachers’ resilience in South Africa and United States, and factors affecting teachers’ resilience in Fiji, India and Malaysia. This study aims to explore teachers’ resilience in Indonesia to encounter challenges and take advantages from the opportunities that pandemic covid-19 offered. This study used a qualitative case study to explore this issue in depth. Three TESOL teachers from three different universities were invited to share about their experiences through semi-structured interview. The findings of this study revealed that TESOL teachers in Indonesia were resilient to teach the students even though there were many challenges such as internet connection issues and less supports from their institutions. The teachers facilitate their students with synchronous and asynchronous online classes. They also innovated their learning using applications such as Quizziz, Kahoot, Slido and Flipgrid. Furthermore, teachers were also resilient to explore opportunities offered by the pandemic-covid-19 such as developing their technology skills in using applications, video conferencing and social media use. . They also actively investigated emerging issues in pandemic covid-19 through conducting independent research. This research concluded that while the pandemic covid-19 brought some difficulties for teachers in Indonesia, teachers refused to give up on the situation, rather they were resilient, developed their skills, and explore the emerging opportunities offered.
POLITICAL AND LEGAL FACTORS OF THE FUNCTIONING OF
THE HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR IN THE BLACK SEA
Authors: Varynskyi Vladyslav , Kozyreva Karyna , Maksymenko Vitaliia , Savielieva Oleksandra
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the prerequisites and factors of the functioning of the
humanitarian maritime corridor in the Black Sea. New Ukrainian realities caused by Russia’s large-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. The blockade of seaports and ships caused the export of Ukrainian agricultural products and other goods from all ports of Ukraine to stop. The impossibility of exporting grain from Ukraine first of all had a painful impact on world food security. Therefore, the world community and the Ukrainian authorities faced the problem of unblocking sea routes and returning Ukrainian grain crops to foreign markets. Solving this problem required the development of economic, legal, political, and logistical components, taking into account the interests of the participating countries and other countries of the world. It became possible to settle the issue only within the framework of the «Initiative on the Safe Transportation of Grain and Foodstuffs from Ukrainian Ports», which, under the norms of International Maritime Law, established mechanisms for safe maritime commercial transportation, and allowed the creation of a humanitarian («grain») corridor in the Black Sea. The achievement of the «grain corridor» was the stabilization of the food market and the maintenance of food security. At the same time, Russia also received tactical, strategic, economic, and political benefits. Despite this, the Russian Federation continues to obstruct freedom of navigation in the Black Sea and the Danube for political and military purposes to dominate the Black Sea region. In this regard, solving the problem of the effective functioning of the humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea is complex and requires a multilateral approach, which involves a reliable legal and regulatory framework, transparency, and international cooperation to develop political and economic mechanisms to counter Russian aggression and ensure free sea navigation for commercial ships.

Storm Water Management through Water Sensitive Urban Design and Planning: Case of a University Campus in India
Authors: Jain Sonal , Kamal Mohammad Arif
Published: October 2023

The outline of almost all urban contours are characterized by accelerated urbanization, depleted assets, population growth, ageing infrastructure, and degraded environments, which are made worse by rising climate uncertainty. The projections show that by 2040, approximately half of the world population will reside in areas with significant water stress. The immense pressure on land due to expansion of urbanized area has led to a significant increase in impervious/paved surfaces, reducing the rate of infiltration. In urban areas, however, this cycle is discontinuous in context to impermeable pavements, surface water do not get time to percolate instead they drain off to sewer. This misleading of storm water leads to flooding, and other water issues. The goal is to find techniques that can feasibly integrate the hydrological cycle with impactful water-sensitive spatial design considerations. This paper presents a detailed analysis of Women’s Polytechnic and Sarojini Naidu Hall at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh, India based on storm water management and water sensitive parameters that can be implemented in the whole campus by using both qualitative as well as quantitative research methods in relation with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

Published: October 2023

This essay aims to do research on one of the most important modern drama movements in Europe — the Theater of Absurd, through doing the background research at first and then comparing works of the same type and period including Nobel Prize work. The authors want more people to get to appreciate the art form of Absurd Drama which precisely reveals very serious social issues fundamentally but through vivid and very comic form. That’s quite novel and classic! After researching on the wide ranges of drama movements in the same period like Environmental Theater, Theater of the Oppressed (TO), Epic Theater, and even Music theater like Off-Off Broadway, the authors finally chose to conduct in-depth research on the Absurd Theater. The background research includes but not limited to the period from1950s to the late 1980s in Europe, and elaborates the development of absurd theory in detail. This paper is represented by Ionesco’s famous drama — Rhinoceros, conducting research from the perspectives of forms, themes, literature technologies and moral to show readers what absurd drama is and its characteristics. Different histories can lead to different forms of literary works including drama. We should always constantly explore new forms of Drama which is extremely interesting and challenging!
The Influence of Gender Expression in "The Dream of the Red Chamber" on Chinese
Authors: Ma Jingyuan
Published: October 2023

As one of the four great classics of China, "The Dream of the Red Chamber" is the pearl of the treasure of the world classical literature. With the development of film and television technology, the masterpiece has been repeatedly put on the screen, and has gained great national popularity. In particular, the writing of the fate of some women indicates the plot of the novel, shapes the characters, creates the tragic atmosphere and the helpless tone, which not only guides the overall direction of the novel, but also greatly enriches the ideological and cultural connotation of "The Dream of the Red Chamber". To some extent, it is under the guidance of the ancient philosophy of fatalism that "The Dream of the Red Chamber" has such great charm. Today, although the rise of national consciousness, the public has their own understanding of breaking through the shackles of destiny. So this paper will start with the fatalistic view and discuss the influence of focusing on the Dream of Red Mansions and its expression on gender.

Application Prospect of Monopolar Low-temperature Plasma Knife in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Authors: Li Chengwei , Fan Xiaosheng , Zhang Yixuan , Wang Lan , Li Kuangzheng
Published: October 2023

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is primarily responsible for the treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors, jaw fractures, maxillary sinusitis, and other temporomandibular joint diseases using surgical techniques. With improvements in living conditions and dietary changes, the demand for diagnosis and treatment in oral and maxillofacial surgery has been steadily increasing. Simultaneously, both patients and healthcare providers have higher expectations for intraoperative effectiveness and postoperative recovery. With the advancement of technology, surgical knives in oral and maxillofacial surgery have gradually transitioned from traditional physical blades to high-frequency electric scalpels. However, high-frequency electric scalpels have drawbacks, including substantial tissue damage, the generation of intraoperative smoke, electrode adhesion, imprecise cutting, and reliance on traditional surgical blades. This paper proposes the idea of using a monopolar low-temperature plasma knife in oral and maxillofacial surgery, with a focus on research utilizing the monopolar low-temperature plasma surgical system produced by Jingyi Medical (Host Model: PSG-60A; Electrode Model: PS-01) as an example. This equipment disrupts tissue molecular bonds through the low-temperature plasma layer formed around the knife tip, allowing for tissue cutting and separation. This approach significantly reduces tissue damage compared to traditional surgical blades and high-frequency electric scalpels, while also simplifying surgical procedures, improving cutting precision, and enhancing postoperative recovery. Through this research, it can be observed that the monopolar low-temperature plasma knife has significant potential for widespread application in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Authors: Rosa Deborah Fonseca , Marques Sandy Lorrayne Rodrigues Cardoso , Caixeta Victor Fernandes Gaspar , Kallás Adriane da Rocha , Frade Rodrigo Itaboray , Oliveira Sabrynna Brito
Published: October 2023

Syphilis, an infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, is a worldwide systemic disease with a chronic course that affects only humans as its host. Transmission can occur through sexual or vertical means. Newborns of mothers with untreated syphilis or those who did not undergo proper treatment may present with either an asymptomatic or severe systemic symptoms. The aim of this study was to conduct a literature review on patient behavioral factors and public health actions that can impact the treatment of gestational syphilis. Articles published in Portuguese, available in full text in the databases Medline, Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde (BVS), Lilacs, and PubMed, were considered. Official publications from the Ministry of Health within the same time frame were also taken into account. The results indicate that the main difficulties related to the treatment of gestational syphilis include: deficiencies and/or lack of prenatal care; a shortage of information aimed at pregnant women about the disease; limited access to the primary medication or a failure to seek it; limited adherence of partners to treatment and the use of condoms in sexual relationships. It is necessary to adjust prevention campaigns and monitoring/treatment follow-up for syphilis cases in pregnant women to reduce the negative impact on public health of a treatable and curable disease.

La sífilis, infección causada por la bacteria Treponema pallidum, es una enfermedad sistémica, de alcance mundial y de evolución crónica, que tiene al hombre como único huésped. Su transmisión puede ocurrir de forma sexual o vertical. Los recién nacidos de madres con sífilis no tratada o que no realizaron el tratamiento correctamente pueden presentar desde cuadro asintomático hasta síntomas sistémicos graves. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un levantamiento bibliográfico sobre los factores comportamentales del paciente y sobre las acciones de salud pública que pueden interferir en el tratamiento de la sífilis gestacional. Se consideraron artículos publicados en portugués, disponibles en su totalidad en las bases de datos: Medline, Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde (BVS), Lilacs y PubMed. También se consideraron publicaciones oficiales del Ministerio de Salud publicadas en el mismo intervalo. Los resultados señalan que las principales dificultades relacionadas con el tratamiento de la sífilis gestacional son: fallas y/o ausencia de seguimiento durante el prenatal; escasez de información dirigida a las embarazadas sobre la enfermedad; falta de acceso al principal medicamento o no búsqueda por él; adhesión limitada de los compañeros al tratamiento y el uso del preservativo en las relaciones sexuales. Es necesario adaptar las campañas de prevención y seguimiento/monitoreo del tratamiento de los casos de sífilis en embarazadas para reducir el impacto negativo en la salud pública de una enfermedad tratable y curable.

Анотація. У статті висвітлено особливості формування «soft & hard skills» (м’яких та жорстких навичок) у студентів-психологів, зокрема критичного мислення. Встановлено, що якщо раніше від працівника вимагалось вправне виконання поставлених завдань, відповідальне ставлення до професійних обов’язків та інше. То на сьогодні є потреба у фахівцях, які володіють системним, цілісним підходом до вирішення будь- яких як професійних, так і міжособистісних проблем. Саме тому сучасні університети для підготовки якісних кадрів повинні удосконалювати свої можливості, впроваджувати інноваційні методи навчання, застосовувати новітні технології. Описано основні форми та методи викладання дисципліни «математичні методи в психології», які повною мірою забезпечують розвиток необхідних професійних компетентностей, зокрема формування критичного мислення у студентів-психологів. Мета статті – встановити роль навчальної дисципліни «математичні методи в психології» у формуванні критичного мислення студентів-психологів. Матеріали та методи. Для діагностики рівня критичного мислення нами було використано тест критичного мислення американського автора Л. Старкі в адаптації О. Л. Луценко. Обробка результатів здійснювалась за допомогою статистичного пакета для соціальних наук IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0. Результати дослідження. У дослідження взяли участь 137 студентів третього курс, освітньої- професійної програми «Психологія» Львівського державного університету внутрішніх справ. На основі проведеного дослідження нами було статистично підтверджено отримані зміни, зокрема, у показниках високого рівня (p<0,001), дуже високого (p<0,01), середнього (p<0,05), низького (p<0,01) та дуже низького (p<0,01). Висновки. Загалом, можемо зробити висновки, що викладання дисципліни «Математичні методи в психології» формує низку навичок, зокрема такі як: самокритичність, узагальнення отриманої інформації та її критичне переосмислення, що повною мірою забезпечує розвиток критичного мислення у студентів-психологів.
ІГРОВА ЗАЛЕЖНІСТЬ: ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ, КЛАСИФІКАЦІЯ ТА ДІАГНОСТИКА
Authors: Козира Петро Володимирович , Багрій Вікторія Вадимівна
Published: October 2023

Анотація. У статті представлено теоретичний аналіз ігрової залежності, а саме її сутність, причини, наслідки, класифікації та методи діагностики. Встановлено, що ігрова залежність – це патологічна схильність до азартних ігор, що охоплює різні вікові групи, проте найбільш вразливі діти та молодь. Тому вчені з різних галузей, таких як психологія, педіатрія, неврологія та соціологія, активно досліджують цю проблему. Мета дослідження полягає в теоретичному аналізі сутності ігрової залежності, її причин, наслідків, класифікації, а також методів діагностики. Визначено, що ігрова залежність – це неконтрольоване бажання грати в ігри, яке заважає нормальному функціонуванню індивіда в щоденному житті. Вона формується під впливом різних факторів (біологічних, соціальних та психологічних). До основних симптомів ігрової залежності належать: неможливість відволіктися від комп’ютерної гри, ізоляція від соціальних контактів та суспільства загалом, деперсоналізація, ігнорування особистої гігієни, вживання психостимуляторів, ототожнення себе з головним персонажем, повне розчинення у грі, стан ейфорії під час ігрового процесу та інші. Залежність може приймати різні форми. Вона класифікується за такими критеріями: за видами ігор (азартні ігри, відеоігри, онлайн-ігри), за рівнем важкості (легка ігрова залежність, помірна ігрова залежність, важка ігрова залежність), за демографічними характеристиками (за віком, статтю, соціальним статусом). Ця залежність розвивається поетапно, проходячи стадії виграшу, програшу, розпачу та безнадійності. Для діагностики ігрової залежності психіатри та психологи використовують стандартні критерії, вказані в DSM-5 та ICD-11, а також спеціалізовані інструменти, такі як Шкала ігрової залежності (GAS), Індекс патологічної ігрової поведінки (PGSI) та Шкала залежності від Інтернету (IAT). Наголошується важливість своєчасного виявлення та лікування ігрової залежності з метою запобігання серйозним негативним наслідкам для фізичного та психічного здоров’я особи, а також для її соціального життя та професійної діяльності. Ця проблема є критичною у сучасному суспільстві.

Published: October 2023

Стаття присвячена актуальним питанням з управління ризиком в інвестиційній діяльності підприємства. У роботі відокремлено важливість управління ризиками на підприємстві у інноваційній діяльності. Відзначено, що система управління на підприємстві повинна будуватися при реалізації трьох взаємопов'язаних підходів (процесного, системного та ситуаційного), які сприяють формуванню «дерева цілей». Зазначено, що ефективна інноваційна політика можлива за рахунок узгодженості між оптимальним рівнем прибутковості і ризику. Визначено важливість управління ризик-системою та систематизовано вісім етапів управління. Управління ризиком в інвестиційній діяльності підприємства повинне будуватись на принципах допустимості та прийнятності, цього можливо досягнути за допомогою GARP. Обґрунтовано, що комплекс методик оптимізації ризиків вже на стадії аналізу і оцінки, вдосконалюється механізм управління ризиками з позиції формування значущих факторів ризик-системи.

Software Reliability Prediction using Correlation Constrained Multi-Objective Evolutionary Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Yadav Neha , Yadav Vibhash
Published: October 2023

Software reliability frameworks are extremely effective for estimating the probability of software failure over time. Numerous approaches for predicting software dependability were presented, but neither of those has shown to be effective. Predicting the number of software faults throughout the research and testing phases is a serious problem. As there are several software metrics such as object-oriented design metrics, public and private attributes, methods, previous bug metrics, and software change metrics. Many researchers have identified and performed predictions of software reliability on these metrics. But none of them contributed to identifying relations among these metrics and exploring the most optimal metrics. Therefore, this paper proposed a correlation- constrained multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithm (CCMOEO) for software reliability prediction. CCMOEO is an effective optimization approach for estimating the variables of popular growth models which consists of reliability. To obtain the highest classification effectiveness, the suggested CCMOEO approach overcomes modeling uncertainties by integrating various metrics with multiple objective functions. The hypothesized models were formulated using evaluation results on five distinct datasets in this research. The prediction was evaluated on seven different machine learning algorithms i.e., linear support vector machine (LSVM), radial support vector machine (RSVM), decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, k-nearest neighbor, and linear regression. The result analysis shows that random forest achieved better performance.
The Examination Metaphor and its Source Image Transformation in Chinese Urban Discourse
Authors: Yang Cheng
Published: October 2023

The examination metaphor in Chinese urban discourse appears more and more frequently, becoming a new kind of metaphor with Chinese characteristics, and its related research is an exploration of the external communication of urban image based on philosophical cognition and discourse rhetoric. The study of metaphors in urban discourse can follow the theoretical paradigm of "two identification and three grouping", in which specific metaphors are identified through quantitative and qualitative identification procedures, followed by a three-step grouping analysis of metaphor generation mechanism, diffusion performance, and motivation function to comprehensively and systematically describe and explain these metaphors. The examination metaphors in this investigation are used more frequently than war metaphors as the characteristic metaphors of Chinese urban discourse and enter the new-age urban discourse through the cognitive mechanism of conceptual integration; the examination metaphors have fixed types and rich collocations; they are generated under a variety of cognitive, rhetorical, cultural, and figurative motives and play the functions of discursive rhetoric, image shaping, and empathic cognition. Finally, it is important to balance the advantages and disadvantages of exam metaphors in urban discourse and to develop new paths of discourse metaphor research.

This paper reports on a study investigating the washback effects of the Jordanian General Secondary Certificate English Exam (JGSCEE), a high-stakes exit exam for second secondary school students (12th grade) in Jordan, on EFL Teaching from a teacher's perspective. It also investigates whether teachers’ views are influenced by certain variables, such as gender, school type, and years of experience. A questionnaire that covered three dimensions of the teaching process) planning, implementation, and assessment0 was distributed face-to-face to a sample of 171-second secondary grade EFL teachers. Data were analyzed using descriptive and referential statistics via SPSS (Version 23). The results showed that the JGSCEE had a great influence on teachers' practices at the level of each of the three teaching process dimensions. As for the classifying variables, the results showed no statistically significant differences (α= 0.05) associated with the years of experience. On the other hand, the responses varied significantly according to gender in the planning dimension in favor of female teachers and according to the school type in favor of private ones on the three dimensions.

Authors: Handley Simon , Prentice Louise
Published: October 2023

Metals occur within the environment, both naturally and through anthropogenic activities. In particular, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are highly prevalent. Exposure to these metals can be acute or chronic and arise through many circumstances including occupational, therapeutic, and environmental. Laboratory analysis of suspected exposure is essential and forms a specialist area of expertise. Interpretation of results is dependent on collection of the correct sample type, a consideration of the many pre-analytical variables that can influence a valid result, and an appreciation of the toxicokinetics and mechanisms of toxicity of suspected metals.
Child Soldiers and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Donmez Suat
Published: October 2023

The United Nations' eighth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) focuses on “decent work and economic growth.” A primary objective of this goal is to urgently and effectively eradicate severe forms of child labour. This initiative includes abolishing forced labour, ending modern slavery and human trafficking, and preventing children's use as soldiers. Historically, children have been significantly impacted by the devastating effects of wars, being exploited for various military activities globally. Currently, child soldiers, irrespective of gender, participate in civil wars and conflicts in numerous countries worldwide. Despite the United Nations classifying the military recruitment of child soldiers as a war crime, thousands of children actively participate in conflicts. A significant portion of child soldiers are girls, often subjected to sexual slavery and forced into “marriages” with male combatants. A crucial concern regarding child soldiers is their retraining and reintegration into society. Another significant consideration is the classification of these children — whether they should be viewed as criminals or victims. This study explores the global use of child soldiers, specifically in some instances. A pivotal aspect of this examination is understanding the international legal framework, UN SDGs and the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration process. These models, implemented by the United Nations in partnership with local governments, aim to reintegrate post-conflict children, both boy and girl child soldiers.

Over the past two decades, there have been significant advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma which has led to an improvement in overall survival (OS) (1,2). However, a notable proportion of patients continue to experience early mortality (EM), defined as two years from the time of diagnosis. This raises the possibility that improvements in myeloma survival have not extended equally to all groups. Using the latest data drawn from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database of patients in the United States spanning 2000-2019, we study impact of important sociodemographic factors on EM. Through regression modeling, we demonstrate that patients diagnosed from 2000-2005, of older age, male sex, and of certain racial minority status (non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic) have higher odds of EM. Of these factors, minority status contributed to worse 2-year overall survival as well. We evaluate whether income, as a surrogate to access to care, could potentially explain this finding, but find that race has a distinct relationship with EM that is not modified by income. This is further reinforced by subgroup analysis. After characterizing groups vulnerable to EM, we examine reasons for these disparities and potential avenues to address them.

Published: October 2023

This study was conducted with a view to investigate the yield percentage as well as nutritional composition of slaughterhouse by-products from Black Bengal goats of Bangladesh depending on different age groups. The experiment was conducted in different markets and slaughterhouses of Mymensingh district. Data and samples were collected from 50 (fifty) goats of different ages. Treatment group were executed according to the age, namely T0= 0 permanent incisor teeth (under 1 year), T1= 2 permanent incisor teeth (1 to 1.5 year), T2= 4 permanent incisor teeth (2 years), T3= 6 permanent incisor teeth (2 to 2.5 years), T4= 8 permanent incisor teeth (more than 2.5 years). Live weight, warm carcass weight, dressing percentage, percentage and nutritional composition of different slaughterhouse by-products were measured to identify the variation among the age group. The results showed a wide variation of yield percentage and nutritional composition of edible by-products for different ages of Black Bengal goats. A significant variation (P>0.01) of dressing percentage was found with the increase of age. Dressing percentage was 45.87 ± 3.23 in T0 group and 55.94 ± 2.08 in T4 group. Live weight and warm carcass weight were also increased significantly with the increase of age. No significant variation was found in the weight and percentage of different inedible by-products like skin, eye, teeth and hoof as well as edible by-products like liver, brain, kidney, lungs, heart, tongue, intestine with the increase of age. Higher percentage of dry matter and ether extract was found in the liver and heart. Crude protein was almost similar for liver, heart, kidney, lung but pH level was high at kidney.  Findings of this investigation of basic properties of edible and inedible by-products of Black Bengal goat will be helpful in livestock researches.

Nutritional evaluation of feed ingredients is important for potential use in feed rations. It is very important to determine not only the nutrient content and quality of feeds but also their digestibility prior to adding in the ration. This study was undertaken to assess the potential nutritive value of selected shade-dried herbs of moringa, pineapple waste, and plantain through in situ degradation and in vitro gas production techniques. The study compared 4 treatments, namely moringa (MH), pineapple waste (PwH), plantain (PH) herbs, and a combination of three of them with a ratio of 1:1:1 (MxH). The rumen dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradability kinetics were analyzed by using the nylon bags (in situ) procedure and the organic matter digestibility and fermentation characteristics were analyzed by in vitro gas production technique. The results of the in situ study revealed that the ruminal dry matter disappearance differed significantly (P<0.001) among herbs at all incubation periods whereas the PH had the greatest disappearance and PwH had the lowest among all herbs. Significantly (P<0.05) the highest potential and effective degradability of dry matter were found in PH and the lowest in PwH among herbs. The ruminal CP disappearance differed significantly (p<0.05) among herbs at all incubation periods. The MH had the greatest CP disappearance whereas PwH had the lowest. Significantly (P<0.05) the highest potential and effective degradability of CP were found in MH and MxH, respectively, and the lowest in PwH among herbs. The results of the in vitro study revealed that cumulative gas production was increased with increasing the periods of incubation for all herbs. Significantly (P<0.05) the highest gas production was found in PH and MH among all herbs at 48h of incubation. The organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy were found significantly (P<0.05) higher in MH & PH and lower in PwH.  Short-chain fatty acids were also significantly (P<0.05) higher in MH & PH and lower in PwH among herbs. It may be concluded that both plantain and moringa herbs showed better potential and effective degradability and also higher organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy comparable to pineapple waste herbs.
