PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTURAL DI INDONESIA: KONSEPSI FILSAFAT ISLAM
Authors: Zakiah St.
Published: January 2019

Abstrak: Pendidikan Islam tidak membeda-bedakan etnik, ras dan lain sebagainya. Manusia semuanya adalah sama, yang membedakannya adalah ketakwaan mereka kepada Allah SWT. Dalam Islam, pendidikan multikultural mencerminkan bagaimana tingginya penghargaan Islam terhadap ilmu pengetahuan dan tidak ada perbedaan di antara manusia dalam bidang ilmu. Di Indonesia pendidikan multikultural merupakan pendekatan progresif untuk melakukan transformasi pendidikan secara menyeluruh untuk membongkar praktik-praktik diskriminatif dalam proses pendidikan. Pendidikan multikultural didasarkan pada gagasan keadilan sosial dan persamaan hak dalam pendidikan. Tulisan ini mengkritisi James Banks yang menjelaskan bahwa pendidikan multikultural memiliki lima dimensi yang saling berkaitan, namun idelanya dalam pembelajaran hanya membutuhkan penanaman kesadaran kepada siswa yang berdasar pada nilai-nilai kebersamaan dan ke Islaman serta memfasilitasi proses belajar mengajar yang mengubah perspektif monokultural yang esensial, penuh prasangka dan diskriminatif ke perspektif multikulturalis yang menghargai keragaman dan perbedaan, toleran dan sikap terbuka.

Modifikasi Model Analisis Structural Equation Model (Sem) pada Reaksi Pasar di Perusahaan Bursa Efek Indonesia Melalui Modification Indices
Authors: Hanike Yusrianti , Damirah Damirah
Published: January 2019

Abstrak
Pergerakan reaksi pasar dan rasio keuangan beserta Economic Value Added menjadi topik hangat terutama dengan berkembangnya pasar modal di tanah air. Melalui SEM, model yang dihasilkan mampu mengkontruks indikator-indikator rasio keuangan terhadap pergerakan saham. SEM merupakan pemodelan kuantitatif faktor-faktor yang menunjukkan hubungan sebab akibat antara beberapa faktor dependen dan independen melalui indikator-indikatornya. Analisis SEM merupakan kombinasi dari analisis faktor (Confirmatory Factor Analysis), analisis jalur (Path Analysis) dan analisis regresi. Untuk mendapatkan model yang lebih baik, maka analisis ini dipadukan dengan mengkorelasikan error berdasarkan Modification indices. Modification indices akan mengakibatkan terjadinya penurunan Chi-square serta terjadi perubahan nilai CMINDF dan RMSEA menjadi semakin baik. Begitupula pada p-value, GFI, dan TLI. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengaruh korelasi antar measurement error dalam variabel rasio keuangan dalam variabel reaksi pasar dan antar variabel EVA mengakibatkan perubahan yang signifikan pada kebaikan model.
Kata Kunci: Reaksi pasar, modification indices, SEM

Abstract
Market reaction movements and financial ratios and also the Economic Value Added are becoming hot topics, especially with the development of capital markets in the our country. Through SEM, the resulting model is able to construct indicators of financial ratios to stock movements. SEM is a quantitative modeling of factors that show a causal relationship between several dependent and independent factors through its indicators. SEM analysis is a combination of factor analysis (Confirmatory Factor Analysis), path analysis (Path Analysis) and regression analysis. To get a better model, this analysis is combined by correlating errors based on Modification indices. Modification indices will cause a decrease in Chi-square and changes in CMINDF and RMSEA values will be better. Likewise on p-value, GFI, and TLI. So that it can be concluded that the effect of the correlation between measurement errors in financial ratio variables in the market reaction variable and between EVA variables resulted in a significant change in the goodness of the model.

Oligochaete taxonomy – The rise of earthworm DNA barcode in India
Authors: Lalthanzara H. , Lalfelpuii Ruth , Zothansanga C. , Vabeiryureilai M. , Senthil Kumar N. , Gurusubramanium G.
Published: January 2019

Oligochaeta is a class of segmented worms under the phylum Annelida that are characterised by the presence of tiny setae in each body segment. Earthworms are the main members, consisting of approximately 6200 species. Their ecological importance is well known as they are the major soil macro-fauna; Aristotle had named them as “the intestines of soil”. Classification of earthworms is a controversial issue since the introduction of modern taxonomical system on earthworm by Michaelsen in 1921. This is mainly because conventional identification using morphological and anatomical characters are complicated and confusing. The key diagnostic features such as the position and structure of the reproductive organs, clitellum and the associated tubercular pubertatis are not always reliable, particularly in different developmental stages, especially when the available specimens are the juveniles. DNA barcoding has offered a potential solution, even at the levels of identifying the juveniles or cocoons. Several genes including mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase I, 16S, 18S and 28S ribosomal RNAs, and protein-coding histone H3 genes have been introduced in the taxonomy and phylogeny of earthworm. It is anticipated that DNA barcoding will help conflicting taxonomy and further exploration of species diversity in India.
Deleuze and Buddhism: Two Concepts of Subjectivity?
Authors: See Tony
Published: January 2019

This paper examines the resonances between Deleuze's theory of subjectivity and the Buddhist view of subjectivity. Although much scholarship has been focused on Deleuze's theory of subjectivity, relatively little has been directed at a comparative study of how his theory of subjectivity resonates with the idea of de-centred subjectivity in Buddhist philosophy. In addition to this, the paper explores the ethical and political implications of such a notion of subjectivity. In the first part, it examines Deleuze's theory of subjectivity and in the second part, it examines the theory of subjectivity in Buddhist philosophy. In the third part, it considers the ethical implications of the Deleuzian and Buddhist theory of subjectivity.
For Those Who Disagree – Rancière and the Sublime
Authors: Zepke Stephen
Published: January 2019

The work of Jacques Rancière is concerned with the sublime, but in a negative sense. He hates it. And as well, he hates the way thinkers such as Deleuze and Lyotard (and in fact them in particular, his colleagues in the Philosophy department at Paris VIII) have constructed both an aesthetics and an ethics from it. And as well, how this sublime aesthetics draws upon a politics (which is also an ontology) of otherness.
In fact, he is even going to accuse Derrida of this, although without roilling him up with the problems of the sublime. So Rancière is going to be very useful to us as a critical reflection on those who have gone before, but as well he will because he is the one who speaks most about contemporary art. But his place here is not entirely negative, despite his constant and methodological disagreements. Rancière also offers an aesthetics based upon Kant’s Third Critique, but one that begins from the beautiful rather than the sublime. This will be a useful addition to the aesthetics we have already examined that emerge from Kant’s work, and another possible way to understand its political possibilities.
Postscript: ‘Art after experience’– Speculative Realism and the Sublime1
Authors: Zepke Stephen
Published: January 2019

It seems undeniable that in the last ten years or so continental philosophy has undergone a shift that could turn out to be epochal and that takes the name ‘Speculative Realism’. It would therefore seem negligent not to include some sort of account of it in a book that claims to pertain to contemporary art. Nevertheless, while the sublime is arguably a factor in the development of Speculative Realism, it is certainly tangential to its major concerns, which in large part rest upon a rejection of Kant. As a result, my discussion of Speculative Realism is brief and by no means sophisticated, but is offered here as an attempt to indicate what the sublime’s future might hold, both philosophically and in the realm of art.
Empathy and Interdisciplinarity
Authors: Whitehead Anne
Published: January 2019

This chapter asks how, in the context of the medical humanities, we might productively think across disciplinary domains and boundaries. It draws on Ian McEwan’s Saturday as a focus for positioning the question of interdisciplinarity within a specifically British context. The first section, ‘The two cultures’, surveys the ‘two cultures’ debate and its legacy and discusses the appearance of Matthew Arnold’s poem ‘Dover Beach’ at a critical point of the novel. In the second section, ‘A third culture?’, the focus turns to McEwan’s engagement with popular science discourses and argues that it underpins a discernible conservatism in his work. The final section, ‘An unbounded view’, reads Saturday against the grain to argue that, in McEwan’s treatment of dementia a more positive, open-ended model for thinking across the arts and sciences might be seen to emerge.
Introduction
Authors: Ahmad Muhammad Idrees
Published: January 2019

This chapter introduces readers to the key players who shaped the Iraq war policy. It identifies these individuals through the specific role each played in selling the war. It notes that they constitute a network with social ties, ideological coherence and institutional linkages. The chapter argues that the war was not inevitable and public opinion had to be manufactured in support of the war. It also shows that opinion polling might have overstated the true magnitude of support for the war.
Innovation and Stagnation: Military Infrastructure and the Shifting Balance of Power Between Rome and Persia
Authors: Sauer Eberhard W. , Nokandeh Jebrael , Pitskhelauri Konstantin , Rekavandi Hamid Omrani
Published: January 2019

The Roman Empire, and its eastern and western successor states, controlled the majority of Europe’s population for approximately half a millennium (first century BC to fifth century AD), holding dominant power status from the second century BC to the seventh century AD, longer than any other state in the western world in history, and it was also the only empire ever to rule over the entire Mediterranean. Its ability to integrate ethnic groups and its well-organised military apparatus were instrumental to this success. From the third century onwards, however, the balance increasingly shifted; the physical dimensions of fortresses and unit sizes tended to decrease markedly in the Roman world, and the tradition of constructing marching camps and training facilities seems to have been abandoned. By contrast, the Sasanian Empire increasingly became the motor of innovation. Already in the third century it matched Rome’s abilities to launch offensive operations, conduct siege warfare and produce military hardware and armour. Jointly with the Iberians and Albanians, the empire also made skilful use of natural barriers to protect its frontiers, notably by blocking the few viable routes across the Caucasus. By the fifth/sixth century, it pioneered heavily fortified, large, rectangular campaign bases, of much greater size than any military compounds in the late Roman world. These military tent cities, filled with rectangular enclosures in neat rows, are suggestive of a strong and well-disciplined army. Like these campaign bases, the contemporary c. 200km-long Gorgan Wall, protected by a string of barracks forts and of distinctly independent design, is not copied from prototypes elsewhere. The evidence emerging from recent joint projects between the Iranian Cultural Heritage, Handcraft and Tourism Organisation and the Universities of Edinburgh, Tbilisi and Durham suggests that in late antiquity the Sasanian army had gone into the lead in terms of organisational abilities, innovation and effective use of its resources.
Gothic Medicine: Written on the Body
Authors: Davies Ann
Published: January 2019

The final chapter draws on Judith Halberstam's theorisation of the Gothic as the postindustrial production and consumption of excess, to consider the contemporary Gothic body and the efforts of medicine to contain it. This medicine is itself Gothic, however, in its simultaneous repression of and lack of control over the problematic, diseased, disruptive or dead body. The chapter begins by with a study of the body as Gothic excess in in Pedro Almodóvar's La piel que habito/The Skin I Live In and the efforts to control the body made by the mad scientist Ledgard (Antonio Banderas). It then considers the displaced body of the actress Belén Rueda who has become strongly associated with Gothic texts. The focus here is on two recent roles: the wandering body of El cuerpo/The Body and the wandering eyes and sight of Los ojos de Julia/Julia's Eyes.
The Curious Case of Sherlock Holmes
Authors: Williamson Colin
Published: January 2019

This chapter examines John Barrymore’s performance as the titular character in Sherlock Holmes (1922), focusing on the reception of Barrymore’s performance as the titular title character. The chapter shows how Barrymore’s star image was taking shape at the same time as the Holmes character was being adapted to visual culture. Barrymore’s performance is explored in the context of Sherlock Holmes as an adaptation.
Barrymore Does Barrymore: The Performing Self Triumphant in The Great Profile
Authors: Palmer R. Barton
Published: January 2019

This essay explores the common judgment that in The Great Profile (1940) Barrymore “lampoons” himself, providing in the process a version of the John Barrymore story that seemed to distress, even enrage reviewers. A close reading of the film suggests the complexity of the film's tone, its exploration of the star playing a star, while sending up the notion of the Barrymore legend.
The Study of the Scottish Enlightenment: An Autobiographical Journey
Authors: Berry Christopher J.
Published: January 2019

Using Berry’s own career as a structure, the development of the scholarship on the Scottish Enlightenment from the mid-1960s is charted. In conjunction with the most significant publications, the general trends in the scholarship are identified together with an assessment of their influence. Berry also outlines the major themes in his work.
Rude Religion: The Psychology of Polytheism in the Scottish Enlightenment
Authors: Berry Christopher J.
Published: January 2019

An exploration of the reasoning behind the Scots' identification of polytheism as the first form of religion. The exploration focuses on the developmental psychology that the Scots assume to be operant. It is this that underwrites the various manifestations of their stadial theory. The discussion is structured around a comparison of Hume and Kames’ approaches to polytheism
Lusty Women and Loose Imagination: Hume’s Philosophical Anthropology of Chastity
Authors: Berry Christopher J.
Published: January 2019

The theme is sexual regulation, and its necessity in the light of the dynamics of sex and reproduction, as outlined in Hume’s philosophy. The focus is on his treatment of chastity. The analysis uncovers some more general anthropological assumptions and their bearing upon what Rawls calls the ‘circumstances of justice’. The interplay between chastity as an artificial convention and its natural foundations is developed. Hume’s version of the ‘double-standard’ is identified and the role of socialisation emphasised.
Hume and the Customary Causes of Industry, Knowledge and Humanity
Authors: Berry Christopher J.
Published: January 2019

Examines Hume’s account of economic development as a subset of the history of civilisation, which is presented by him as a history of customs and manners. Since Hume believes that the subject matter of ‘economics’ is amenable to scientific analysis, the focus is on his employment of causal analysis and how he elaborates an analysis of customs as causes to account for social change. This is executed chiefly via an examination Hume’s Essays, though the History of England (as a test case) and the Treatise of Human Nature for its expression of Hume’s seminal analysis of causation are also incorporated.
Adam Smith’s ‘Considerations’ on Language
Authors: Berry Christopher J.
Published: January 2019

Smith’s essay is placed in its biographical, cultural and intellectual contexts. The last of these focuses on the contemporary debates concerning the origin of language. The tenor of Smith’s argument is that language develops toward increasing abstraction and that this development is consonant with the development of society. This exposition is also comparative, as Smith’s argument is located alongside the views of a wide-range of his contemporaries.
Conclusion
Authors: Hubble Nick
Published: January 2019

The conclusion considers the various legacies of proletarian modernism and the structures of feeling it supported, including the equalities legislation of the 1960s and 1970s, and the promotion of self-reflexivity in the private sphere. It is argued that focusing on this kind of intersectional proletarian literature might provide a good direction for the future of modernist studies and a means for preserving and channelling the energy and radical analyses which have given the New Modernist Studies momentum over the last fifteen years or so into a wider-ranging, democratic and more global public engagement with everyday culture. It is argued that the possible futures imagined by the modernist-proletarian texts considered in this book far exceed the capacity of state infrastructure and mainstream political imagination. The conclusion also calls for a reinterpretation of literary history to focus on subjectivity, intersubjectivity and desire in relation to everyday life, which would have real-world consequences through its relevance to an intersectional approach to politics.
The Freedom of Others
Authors: Hengehold Laura
Published: January 2019

Beauvoir’s discussion of “Liberation” at the end of The Second Sex draws on prior efforts to ground ethical freedom in the act of disclosing the freedom of others. This chapter pursues a non-Hegelian interpretation of Beauvoir’s ethics through careful readings of Pyrrhus et Cinéas and The Ethics of Ambiguity, as well as her political essays. Beauvoirian freedom is reconceived as an effort to support one’s own individuation through the individuation of others, bringing her into dialogue with contemporary thinkers of the “transindividual” and Mitsein such as Gilbert Simondon, Paolo Virno, and Jean-Luc Nancy.
Conclusion
Authors: Hengehold Laura
Published: January 2019

Will women’s freedom from sexist sense mean an end to the concept of the “Other”? Who is Beauvoir’s Other? This chapter sets The Second Sex in dialogue with Deleuze’s references to the “Other” in Logic of Sense and Difference and Repetition. Focusing on an autobiographical scene that was eventually deleted from her first novel, this chapter suggests that the Independent Woman occupies the structural place of the Other in Beauvoir’s Idea of the sense that might arise in place of sexist representations and habits.
Moving Figures
Authors: Schultz Corey Kai Nelson
Published: January 2019

This book examines how the films of the Chinese Sixth Generation filmmaker Jia Zhangke evoke the affective “felt” experience of China’s contemporary social and economic transformations, by examining the class figures of worker, peasant, soldier, intellectual, and entrepreneur that are found in the films. Each chapter analyzes a figure’s socio-historical context, its filmic representation, and its recurring cinematic tropes in order to understand how they create what Raymond Williams calls “structures of feeling” – feelings that concretize around particular times, places, generations, and classes that are captured and evoked in art – and charts how this felt experience has changed over the past forty years of China’s economic reforms. The book argues that that Jia’s cinema should be understood not just as narratives that represent Chinese social change, but also as an effort to engage the audience’s emotional responses during this period of China’s massive and fast-paced transformation.
Subtraction and Contradiction: China Miéville
Authors: Willems Brian
Published: January 2019

China Miéville’s second novel Perdido Street Station (2000) addresses the idea of essence from three different perspectives which mirror a number of concepts of speculative realism. The essence being insisted on here is what is most hidden, strange and fluid; as Harman says, ‘“essence” simply means that any object has real properties that are not exhausted by their current appearance in the mind or their current impact on other entities more generally’ . The main issue that the character Lin has in capturing Mr Motley in a sculpture of him she is making is that she cannot think how to represent essence while seeing his parts in motion. This is because she is a figure of +what Harman calls fission and fusion, meaning the separation and joining of an object and qualities.
Tension and Phase: Doris Lessing
Authors: Willems Brian
Published: January 2019

The previous chapters laid out a number of ways in which objects can be surprising. The dismantling of language, vision and the world is one strategy for creating this surprise. In the Anthropocene the world is falling apart around us. If we are to go forward, this falling apart will need to become a part of the solution, meaning part of a vision of a less destructive future. This chapter aims to correct this. Following a number of arguments laid out in Graham Harman’s Immaterialism, Doris Lessing’s novel The Cleft (2007) is used to develop the notion of when an object enters a new phase of its existence, and when such change does not take place. The symbiosis of one object and another potentially causes change to occur. However, this only takes place when certain conditions are met.
Transcription: Kim Stanley Robinson
Authors: Willems Brian
Published: January 2019

The reading of tension in sf continues in this chapter, which looks at a number of books by Kim Stanley Robinson, along with two early works by J. G. Ballard. The focus is on the transformations that take place when tension is foregrounded. This tension is seen as something that lies on the surface of things, rather than at any kind of depth. By focusing on the surface, the causal connection between objects and qualities is developed, along with the way that it can lead towards change. The concept of transcription is borrowed from musicology in order to develop a model for such transformation. In the Anthropocene, transcription is seen as essential in order to begin living in the new scales of time and space that are being thrust upon us.
Marmion
Authors: Scott Walter
Published: January 2019

Marmion (1808) is the second of Walter Scott’s grand historical narrative poems. Its sixteenth-century romance tale is framed within six conversation poems, each addressed to one of Scott’s friends, and supplemented by substantial ethnographical and antiquarian notes. Scott here features as a topical poet, commemorating both national events and occasions, as well as the work of his contemporaries. His relations with aristocratic patrons, artists, and statesmen are also amply reflected in the dedicatory epistles. It was with the overwhelming success of Marmion (four editions and over 11,000 copies were produced in 1808 alone) that Scott’s poetic reputation was indisputably established, his entry in the world of commercial publishing confirmed, and his commitment to a literary life fully determined. This is the first scholarly edition of Marmion. Based on new archival research it provides critically edited text that incorporates lines omitted from previous editions of the poem and extensive annotations. The critical apparatus in this volume includes a detailed essay on the development of the text, a Historical Note, Explanatory Notes and a full glossary of Scots, foreign and archaic words.
Introduction
Authors: Diment Galya
Published: January 2019

With all due respect to France, it is safe to say that, after New Zealand and England, Russia became by far the most important country in Katherine Mansfield’s evolution as a writer. The powerful fascination with Russian literature and culture was largely shared by Mansfield’s entire generation at the time. As Donald Davie astutely pointed out in ...
At Home Among the Russians: The Short Stories of Olive Garnett and Katherine Mansfield
Authors: Reading Frances
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this article is to incorporate the little-studied writer, Olive Garnett, into the discussion surrounding Katherine Mansfield in relation to Russian themes. Both Mansfield and Garnett had a common interest in Russia and, writing in the same literary milieu, both wrote short stories about Russia and Russians. Where the interest in Russia comes from for Garnett and Mansfield forms a substantial part of this article. Both were influenced by various Russian radicals and philosophers, such as Nikolai Chernyshevsky who conceivably served to inspire the writing of both women. The context will stem from the ‘Russomania’ that took hold from the 1880s onwards, culminating in the subsequent fin-de-siècle and post-Great War paranoias within the British national consciousness which expressed itself in the form of prejudice towards the foreign Other. It will consider the influence Russia, and Russian people, had on the style and work of Mansfield and Garnett, and in turn reveal how both writers present Russia.

Examining the soil microbiome structure has great significance in terms of exploring the mechanism behind plant growth changes due to maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max Merr.) crop rotation. This study explored the effects of soil microbial community structure after soybean and maize crop rotation by designing nine treatments combining three crop rotations (continuous cropping maize or soybean; and maize after soybean) with three fertility treatments (organic compound fertilizer, chemical fertilizer, or without fertilizer). Soil was sampled to 30 cm depth the second year at approximately the middle of the growing season, and was analyzed for physical, chemical, and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles. Bacteria was found to be the predominant component of soil microorganisms, which mainly contained the PLFAs 16:0. Crop rotation with organic compound fertilizer application reduced the percentage of fungi in the soil by 24% compared to continuous maize and soybean with the same fertilizer application. The combination of crop rotation with organic fertilizer can reduce the percentage of fungi/bacteria to the greatest degree. In addition, the content of soil aggregate and organic matter had great influence on Gram-positive bacteria and actinomyces. In conclusion, soybean and maize crop rotation improve the soil nutrient content primarily by influencing the composition of bacterial community, especially the Gram-positive bacteria.

In this study, phosphorus (P) strength [(full strength: 1×-P, half strength: 0.5×-P and zero strength: 0×-P)] and root zone temperature (10 and 15 °C RZT) were investigated in red romaine lettuce to determine their effects on anthocyanin content. This experiment was conducted using a deep-flow technique (DFT) hydroponic system in a greenhouse during the winter in Gangwon province in the Korea Republic. The treatments were 1×-P (15 and 10 °C RZT), 0.5×-P (15 and 10 °C RZT) and 0×-P (15 and 10 °C RZT). The results showed that the P (phosphorus), K (potassium) and Ca (calcium) accumulation contents were lower in the 0×-P -treated red romaine lettuce leaves than in the other treatments. The maximum red romaine lettuce yields per plant, leaf number and leaf length were exhibited during the 1×-P at 15 °C RZT treatment. In 0×-P at 10 °C, RZT treatment showed lower leaf color values of L*, b*, chrome, ºh and higher leaf color a* values. Moreover, in the 0×-P treatment at 10 °C RZT, the leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll total were the lowest. Anthocyanin content was the highest in the 0×-P treatment, followed by 0.5×-P and 1×-P treatments at both 15 and 10 °C RZT. Regardless of the P intensity treatment, anthocyanin content was higher at 10 °C RZT than at 15 °C RZT. In summary, the 1×-P at 15 °C RZT treatment is the best for red romaine lettuce leaf yield, and the 0×-P at 10 °C RZT treatment is the best for lettuce leaf anthocyanin content.

Certain minerals possess structures that convey properties which improve soil quality; however, their application in coastal saline areas has been poorly studied. In this study, we explored the effects of combining mineral amendments on the improvement of wheat yield and soil properties in a two-year field experiment in mildly saline coastal soil areas of the Yellow River Delta, China. Five mineral materials were combined into the following four treatments: zeolite + rock phosphate (ZP), zeolite + silica calcium soil conditioner (ZC), vermiculite + rock phosphate (VP), and vermiculite + medical stone (VS). For all treatments, combined mineral amendments increased wheat yield compared to the control, with similar increases in yield following treatment with VP (45.7%), ZP (43.5%), and ZC (43.6%), and a significantly smaller increase following VS treatment (26.3%). These increases in grain yield were attributed to larger dry matter accumulation and higher grain numbers per ha. Compared to the control, ZP and ZC application substantially reduced soluble magnesium (Mg) and sodium (Na) contents, electrical conductivity (EC), and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and increased soil organic carbon (SOC) at a soil depth of 0–20 cm. VP application increased soil available phosphorus (P) by 34.7% and soluble potassium (K) by 69.3% at a soil depth of 0–20 cm. VS application slightly increased the SOC, total nitrogen (N), available P, and soluble K compared to the control. Overall, these results indicate that combining mineral amendments significantly increases wheat yield and improves soil properties in a saline area. Thus, we recommend the use of mineral amendments in saline coastal areas.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of stevioside on feed intake, feeding behavior, nutrient digestion, rumen fermentation, and serum biochemical parameters in goats. Nine male Xiangdong black goats (21.8 ± 1.5 kg of body weight) were used in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square. All goats were fed a basal diet including concentrate and forage (chopped rice straw). The three treatments were 0, 400, or 800 mg stevioside per kg chopped rice straw on a dry matter (DM) basis. Dry matter intake of forage and total diet linearly increased (p = 0.03 and p = 0.04) with increasing stevioside in the diet. There was no effect (p > 0.05) of stevioside inclusion in the diets on eating time, rumination time, or total mastication time for the goats. Total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration in the rumen responded quadratically (p < 0.01), decreasing from 0 to 400 mg/kg stevioside inclusion and increasing thereafter. The inclusion of steviosid in the diets promoted a quadratic increase in the apparent total tract digestibilities of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (p = 0.02) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) (p = 0.01). Based on the results of this experiment, it could be concluded that supplementing goat diets with stevioside at 400 mg/kg to 800 mg/kg forage (about 270 to 541 mg/kg diet) resulted in increased dry intake of forage and total diet, suggesting that stevioside has positive potential as a feed additive to improve feed intake.

Fallow deer (Dama dama) are important meat producing species providing venison and other products to an international market. The present study investigated the effects of different feed rations on the growth, carcass characteristics and physical attributes of the longissimus lumborum (LL) and semitendinosus (SET) muscles of 45 farm-raised male fallow deer. The animals were divided into three separate groups: 15 pasture-fed (P), 15 pasture-fed and supplemented with barley (B), and 15 pasture-fed and supplemented with barley and lysine (BL). The animals were slaughtered at an average age of 17 months at three time points: after 155, 169 and 183 days on feed. The addition of barley to the feed ration significantly increased weight gain and had positive effects on slaughter and carcass weights, dressing-out proportion, carcass composition, the weight of LL muscle, and increased the redness, yellowness and chroma values of LL muscle. The supplementation with lysine reduced the amounts of carcass and internal fats without compromising other economically important traits.
