ABSTRACTBackgroundThis study hypothesizes that using different amounts of high‐fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in broiler diets may improve performance.ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the effects of HFCS added to broiler diets on performance, cecum pH and some biochemical parameters.MethodsA total of 120 Ross 308 chicks at the age of 0 day were divided into three main groups with four subgroups each. The groups consisted of a control (CON), low‐HFCS and high‐HFCS groups. The CON group received a diet containing no HFCS, the low‐HFCS diet contained 50 mg/kg HFCS, and the high‐HFCS diet contained 100 mg/kg HFCS. Body weight gain, feed consumption, carcass weight, visceral weight and cecum pH values were examined as performance parameters. Blood samples were taken at the end of the experiment and used to spectrophotometrically determine triglyceride, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein (HDL‐CHO), low‐density lipoprotein (LDL‐CHO), glucose (GLU), creatinine (CRE), uric acid and insulin concentrations, as well as aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities and oxidative stress markers. Proinflammatory cytokine levels were measured using ELISA test kits.ResultsFeed consumption and body weight gain of the high‐HFCS group decreased (p < 0.01). The feed conversion rate was negatively affected in both HFCS groups compared to the CON group (p < 0.01). The carcass yields of the groups linearly decreased with the increase of HFCS (p < 0.001). Serum LDL cholesterol (p < 0.05) and GLU (p < 0.01) levels were significantly lower in the HFCS groups than the CON. Serum CRE levels were higher in the low‐HFCS group compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). The oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were lower in the low‐HFCS group than the CON group (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe addition of 100 mg/kg HFCS to broiler diets negatively affected performance parameters, but HFCS supplementation positively affected biochemical parameters. In particular, low‐HFCS supplementation decreased the OSI, indicating that it could possibly reduce oxidative stress. Accordingly, HFCS could be added to broiler diets at a level of 50 mg/kg.
Thermal, mechanical, flammability properties, and morphologies of polypropylene/calcium carbonate‐based on carbon nanomaterials and layered silicates composites: A future perspective of new sheet material for flooring application

Published: September 2024

AbstractPolyvinyl chloride/calcium carbonate (PVC/CaCO3) composites are widely used in the construction industry to fabricate flooring materials. However, PVC materials have raised concern due to the large quantity of plasticizers introduced during PVC product processing. Studies have reported that volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are toxic with side effects on human health and the environment. Therefore, polypropylene (PP) is proposed as an alternative polymer for developing calcium carbonate‐based polymer composite sheets for flooring applications with improved thermal, mechanical, and flammability properties. This work reviews the scientific and technological advances in the field of polypropylene/calcium carbonate–carbon nanomaterials or clay nanocomposites to develop a better understanding of how to develop superior nanocomposites for use in flooring applications. This work explores various studies about the synergistic effect of combining nanofillers (i.e., carbon nanomaterials or layered clays) with intumescent flame retardants and the synergist effect of nanofillers (i.e., multi‐walled carbon nanotubes/montmorillonite) without intumescent flame retardants on thermal, mechanical, flammability properties, and morphologies of polypropylene. The generated information will facilitate the design of flooring materials based on PP with improved thermal, mechanical, and flammability properties. Therefore, it was confirmed that there is a relationship between the morphology (dispersion state of nanofillers in the PP), and mechanical properties, as well as the flammability of PP composites.Highlights
New advances in carbon nanomaterials and clays‐based PP/CaCO3 composites
The relationship between preparation, structure, property, and mechanisms
The synergism effect of inorganic flame retardants, multifunctionality, and flooring application

Synoptic map heritage of the National Research Institute of Meteorology of Academia Sinica in the 1930s
Authors: Du Shunhua 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe Beiji Pavilion Observatory, also referred to as the National Research Institute of Meteorology, Academia Sinica, is a meteorological observatory in China. Research indicates that as early as the 1930s, the surface synoptic maps drawn up by the National Research Institute of Meteorology of Academia Sinica in the identification of fronts and air masses reflect the polar front theory, including some synoptic analysis principles, had been introduced to China. It offers a different perspective to traditional ‘Western’ theory. China assimilated many ideologies from the West and internalised them within Chinese meteorology.
N-gram Based Authorship Analysis in Indonesian Text: Evidence Case Study in Authorship Dispute Cases

Published: September 2024

AbstractThreats through anonymous letters continue to be reported in Indonesia. Threatening letters are being sent via SMS, e-mail, and private messaging apps such as WhatsApp. Authorship analysis is commonly used to determine the author of an anonymous text. The study uses N-gram tracing to determine the author of an anonymous letter by analyzing three sets of texts from three unique authors. The data was analyzed by determining, tracing, and computing N-grams in each set of texts being compared, both at the character and word levels. Statistical tests were also performed during the data analysis stage, utilizing the similarity comparison method and the Jaccard Coefficient calculation to assess the accuracy of N-gram tracing in identifying authors. Character analysis of N-grams reveals that, as the smallest N-unit, characters play an essential role in authorship attribution. Data analysis at the word level reveals that, lexically, word choice is the most dominating and influential linguistic element of authorship attribution in defining the author's profile and accurately distinguishing one author from another.
The Diffusion of English-Medium Instruction at Higher Education in Indonesia: Towards English as an Academic Lingua Franca

Published: September 2024

AbstractThere is an increasing trend in adopting English-medium instruction (EMI) as an academic lingua franca in response to higher education internationalization. Considered as an innovation in content teaching, its adoption rate at Indonesian higher education remains questionable. Using the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) frameworks, this paper aims to explore the EMI attributes regarding its relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability and to examine the relationships between the EMI perceived attributes and the attitudes and behavioral intention towards EMI among university students in the Indonesian context. This study is a mixed-method study. The quantitative data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires from 125 students from two reputable universities, while the qualitative data were obtained through focus-group discussions. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed using SmartPLS to address the research problems. Thematic analysis was employed for the qualitative data for explaining and clarifying the quantitative findings. The findings show that EMI is considered very highly advantageous and compatible, highly observable and trialable, and surprisingly low in complexity to learn content courses. In addition, the EMI perceived relative advantages and compatibility that were predictive to the students’ attitudes toward EMI. Finally, perceived relative advantages, trialability, and observability of EMI were predictive to the students’ behavioral intention to enroll in EMI. EMI is therefore worth applying at higher education institutions in Indonesia as an approach to enhance both students’ content understanding and English competence and to support Indonesian universities’ internationalization vision.
A Preliminary Report: Examining Pre-service Teacher Education, Teaching Practices, and Linguistic Diversity in the Indonesian Context

Published: September 2024

AbstractCovering an area of approximately 1.8 million square kilometers, and including a vast number of ethnic and linguistic groups, encompassing approximately 700 indigenous and minority languages, from varying cultural backgrounds, Indonesia presents a unique opportunity to examine how its education system addresses such a variety of needs across such a diverse context. Any second language education including English presents unique challenges in such a linguistically diverse landscape. Examining how such an education system addresses these challenges would be useful for policy makers, administrators, teacher educators, and teachers throughout the region as these stakeholders are faced with similar challenges in other Asian countries and beyond. In order to investigate how the Indonesian educational system prepares and responds to such a complex environment, participants for the current ongoing research project are drawn from four groups: Current preservice language educators, teacher educators, graduated/practicing teachers, and institutional leaders (principles, headmasters, etc.). In-depth individual or group interviews were conducted with members of each of the four groups. Classroom observations were also conducted with practicing teachers and are used to confirm information gathered through interviews as to actual practice in the language-learning classroom. The results of such research could be instrumental in providing a better understanding of the current situation of English language teacher education and teaching practice in Indonesia, as well as how to plan for future curricular developments. The results could also not only be valuable to policymakers and planners in Indonesia and across the Asian region but beyond in other contexts where learners represent a variety of linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Collocation of Preposition Terhadap in Indonesian Language: A Corpus-Based Analysis
Authors: Notonegoro Raya Jayawati Ratnawilis Amanah , Suhardijanto Totok 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAs preposition, terhadap is polysemous since it has different meanings according to its context. The authors suspect that the context which causes that is collocation or the frequent co-occurrence of words on either side of terhadap. The research question of this research is how collocation affects the meaning of terhadap in a sentence. This research aims to explain what causes terhadap to be polysemous. The method used in this research is a mixed method. This research is corpus-based and uses 6.578 tokens from Korpus Universitas Indonesia. The analysis is carried out by examining the collocate of terhadap and pointing the characteristics of terhadap in a sentence. As a result, (1) preposition terhadap is polysemous because it is flanked by a different combination of collocates. (2) preposition terhadap has three different meanings in a sentence, ‘pada’ (T1), ‘kepada’ (T2), and ‘untuk’ (T3). (3) T1 is flanked by an abstract noun, adjective, and verb (left), and an abstract noun and non-living concrete noun (right). (4) T2 is flanked by an abstract noun (left) and persona noun (right). (5) Lastly, T3 is flanked by abstract nouns on its left and right. This research will not only benefit linguistic community but also the field of language teaching.

Abstract
The NEXT-White detector, a high-pressure gaseous xenon time projection chamber, demonstrated the excellence of this technology for future neutrinoless double beta decay searches using photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to measure energy and silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) to extract topology information. This analysis uses 83mKr data from the NEXT-White detector to measure and understand the energy resolution that can be obtained with the SiPMs, rather than with PMTs. The energy resolution obtained of (10.9 ± 0.6)%, full-width half-maximum, is slightly larger than predicted based on the photon statistics resulting from very low light detection coverage of the SiPM plane in the NEXT-White detector. The difference in the predicted and measured resolution is attributed to poor corrections, which are expected to be improved with larger statistics. Furthermore, the noise of the SiPMs is shown to not be a dominant factor in the energy resolution and may be negligible when noise subtraction is applied appropriately, for high-energy events or larger SiPM coverage detectors. These results, which are extrapolated to estimate the response of large coverage SiPM planes, are promising for the development of future, SiPM-only, readout planes that can offer imaging and achieve similar energy resolution to that previously demonstrated with PMTs.
Explicit entropic proofs of irreversibility theorems for holographic RG flows
Authors: Deddo Evan , Liu James T. , Pando Zayas Leopoldo A. , Saskowski Robert J. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We revisit the existence of monotonic quantities along renormalization group flows using only the Null Energy Condition and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the entanglement entropy of field theories with anti-de Sitter gravity duals. In particular, we consider flows within the same dimension and holographically reprove the c-, F -, and a-theorems in dimensions two, three, and four. We focus on the family of maximally spherical entangling surfaces, define a quasi-constant of motion corresponding to the breaking of conformal invariance, and use a properly defined distance between minimal surfaces to construct a holographic c-function that is monotonic along the flow. We then apply our method to the case of flows across dimensions: there, we reprove the monotonicity of flows from AdSD+1 to AdS3 and prove the novel case of flows from AdS5 to AdS4.

Abstract
Tri-boson production together with vector-boson scattering is a privileged channel to study the electroweak structure of the Standard Model. Upcoming LHC running stages will allow to measure these processes at unprecedented accuracy and for all possible final states, which requires to push theory predictions to still unexplored frontiers. In this work we present the first calculation for the process pp → μ+μ−e+νejj at the LHC in a tri-boson phase space. We evaluate the three LO contributions, namely the $$ \mathcal{O} $$

Integrated and differential cross sections are presented for a fiducial region inspired by High Luminosity LHC prospect studies. We find electroweak corrections of −14% for the fiducial cross section, almost twice as large as for other tri-boson processes.
Factorization for J/ψ leptoproduction at small transverse momentum
Authors: Echevarria Miguel G. , Romera Samuel F. , Taels Pieter 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Nonrelativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) breaks down in the region of low transverse momentum, where the transverse momentum of the produced quarkonium state is sensitive to multiple scattering with the incoming hadron and to soft gluon radiation. In this kinematic regime, the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) factorization framework is required, promoting the long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) of NRQCD to the so-called TMD shape functions (TMDShFs), which encode both the soft gluon radiation and the formation of the heavy-quark bound state. In this work, we apply an effective-field theory approach (combining NRQCD and SCET) to the photon-gluon fusion process in inclusive J/ψ leptoproduction. We derive a factorization theorem for the cross section in terms of TMDShFs, compute these quantities at next-to-leading order, establish their evolution, and study their matching onto the corresponding LDMEs in the high-transverse-momentum region. Our results are particularly relevant to the Electron-Ion Collider, where J/ψ leptoproduction can be used to probe gluon transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (gluon TMDPDFs).

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Fatigue ist ein Symptomkomplex, geht mit Müdigkeit, Energiemangel und Konzentrationsschwäche einher und hat durch Zusammenhänge mit Arbeitsunfähigkeit, Unfallgefährdung und erhöhten Bedarfen an Gesundheitsversorgung hohe Public-Health-Relevanz.

Methode
Die Analysen basieren auf Daten von 9766 Erwachsenen des Surveys „Gesundheit in Deutschland aktuell (GEDA)“ 2023. Fatigue wurde mit der Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) erfasst, ein validiertes Instrument mit 10 Fragen zur Selbsteinschätzung von Fatigue. Die Skala wurde dichotomisiert in Ja (mindestens milde bis moderate Fatigue) versus Nein (keine Fatigue). Bevölkerungsgewichtete Prävalenzen von Fatigue und assoziierten soziodemografischen und gesundheitsbezogenen Faktoren wurden in deskriptiven Analysen und multivariabler Poisson-Regression berechnet.

Ergebnisse
Die Prävalenz von Fatigue bei Erwachsenen in Deutschland beträgt 29,7 % (95 %-KI: 28,1–31,2), ist bei 18- bis 29-Jährigen am höchsten (39,6 % (95 %-KI: 35,0–44,4)) und nimmt in den Altersgruppen von 65 bis 79 Jahren ab (20,6 % (95 %-KI: 18,2–23,3)). In der Gruppe der Hochaltrigen liegt sie wieder höher (33,2 % (95 %-KI: 28,9–37,7)). Frauen haben ein höheres Risiko für Fatigue als Männer (adjustiertes relatives Risiko (aRR) 1,19 (95 %-KI: 1,08–1,32)). Fatigue ist unabhängig von Kovariablen signifikant mit Alter, niedrigerer Bildung, chronischer Erkrankung, Depressivität und Long Covid assoziiert.

Diskussion
GEDA 2023 gehört zu den wenigen bevölkerungsbezogenen Studien, die Daten zur Fatigue erhoben haben. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen Einschätzungen für Deutschland zur Häufigkeit von Fatigue und zur Bedeutung körperlicher, psychischer und sozialer Einflussfaktoren. Sie können als Referenz bzw. als Basis für zeitliche Trends im kontinuierlichen Gesundheitsmonitoring in Deutschland genutzt werden.
Hot males: thermal biology of males and females during coercive mating in water striders Gerris lacustris
Authors: Lopez Vinicius Marques , Guillermo-Ferreira Rhainer , Seip Lucia , Gorb Stanislav 
Published: September 2024

AbstractSexual conflict theory predicts that males that adopt coercive mating strategies impose costs to females during copulation. Nevertheless, conflicting mating strategies may also affect males, although such effects on males are often neglected in the literature. Here, we seek to understand whether male water striders (Gerris lacustris) experience higher body temperatures than females during coercive mating behavior. We we explored whether the water temperature affected male and female body temperature differently, considering that water contact by females might serve as a thermal regulator. We built generalized linear mixed models considering the male and female temperature as the dependent variables. Air temperature (as a proxy for solar radiation), water temperature, and sex were used as predictor variables. Our results suggest that males are warmer than females, and despite females coming into contact with water during skimming, this contact does not significantly contribute to lowering their body temperature or improving thermoregulation under the observed conditions. These findings provide novel insights into the thermal biology of water striders. Future studies should focus on addressing whether warmer temperatures confer some advantages to males, such as increased mobility and better ability to hold onto females or impose physiological constraints and fitness costs.
