Published: July 2024

Abstract
The Dolgan language is a Turkic variety, closely related to Sakha but differing from it due to contact, primarily with Evenki (Tungusic). We analyze the linguistic identity of translocal Dolgan communities in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the Anabar District, which is home to a minority of the larger group of Dolgan people. Linguistically, Anabar Dolgan is best classified as a northern Sakha variety with significant lexical borrowings from Tungusic. Anabar Dolgans consider it a separate language, and see themselves as speaking Dolgan, Sakha, or a mixture of the two. Their strong sense of Dolgan identity comes from an attachment to language, culture, and territory, an identity reinforced by social ties with and ongoing migrations to and from the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets District, home to the majority of Dolgans. Data come from sociolinguistic questionnaires, structured interviews, and linguistic elicitation with 50 respondents, and a subset of open-ended interviews.

Abstract
This research study examines the trade potential between Indonesia and Namibia, explicitly focusing on product competitiveness mapping and lessons learned from Chile and Uruguay. The analysis explores the competitiveness of export products in each country and identifies areas for improvement. The findings reveal that Indonesia has a higher number of export products with high competitiveness than Namibia. However, both countries face challenges in boosting the overall competitiveness of their export portfolios. The study emphasises the need for diversification and value-added processing to enhance export capabilities and reduce import reliance. Drawing insights from Chile and Uruguay, it highlights the importance of economic diplomacy and bilateral trade agreements in strengthening trade relations. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers and future researchers to foster economic growth and maximise the trade potential between Indonesia and Namibia.
The Lebanon-Israel 2022 Maritime Boundary Agreement
Authors: Yiallourides Constantinos , Ioannides Nicholas A. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
After over a decade of dispute settlement efforts, Israel and Lebanon reached an agreement to establish their common maritime boundary in October 2022. This agreement is a pioneering achievement in the region. It is the first maritime boundary agreement reached between two States that do not have diplomatic relations. The agreement solidifies the trend towards pursuing maritime delimitation and related arrangements over seabed resources in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. This article analyses the legal nature and content of the Lebanon-Israel 2022 maritime boundary agreement and its implications for the tripoint delimitation of the overlapping maritime areas between Cyprus, Lebanon, and Israel.
Soundtracks of Milesian Identity: Timotheus and Imperial Musicians from Miletus
Authors: Modini Francesca 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper brings attention, for the first time, to the role of musical performances as a site for the preservation, expression, and revival of local Greek identity under Rome. The evidence analysed consists primarily of two inscriptions celebrating some second- and third-century AD Milesian musicians involved in different reperformances of Timotheus of Miletus. While previous analyses have discussed these texts as sources for ancient reperformance practices, I investigate why and to what effect these musicians included Timotheus in their repertoire. My hypothesis is that their interest in Timotheus, who was by no means a standard model of classicism in the imperial period, was stimulated by his local relevance. Reperforming Timotheus was a means for imperial Milesians to re-enact their artistic past and to showcase the distinctive cultural identity of their community, at a time when Miletus faced the competition of other centres in the province of Asia as well as imperial centralisation.
Photographic Representations of the Dutch–Indonesian Conflict in the Yogyakarta-Based Kedaulatan Rakjat Newspaper, 1945–1946
Authors: Zara Muhammad Yuanda 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Historiography of the Dutch–Indonesian war, also known as the Indonesian Revolution, generally focuses on the origins and types of violence that occurred during the conflict. The war-related photographs published by the Indonesian press during the conflict have received hardly any examination by scholars. This article examines photographs published by the nationalist-leaning newspaper Kedaulatan Rakjat (KR) in Yogyakarta, the city known as the capital of the Indonesian Revolution, between 1945 and 1946. The KR published several types of photographs. The first introduced and promoted Indonesian national leaders. The second demonstrated the ruthlessness of the enemies of the Republic, especially the Dutch and the British. The third depicted the valour and victory of the Indonesian forces in the face of the enemy. The fourth illustrated the massive support of the Indonesian people for the Republic. The Republic’s foreign enemies only appeared graphically in the newspaper as cruel but weak soldiers or as cold-blooded politicians. Through the photographs published in the KR, the authority, efficacy, and strength of the newly born Republic were visually proven and further promoted, while the horror of the Dutch and British acts was continuously emphasized to a large audience. This, in turn, justified the hatred and violence against the Dutch and British. Through this photographic framing, the Kedaulatan Rakjat shaped public opinions and attitudes to support the fight against the Dutch and the British.
Audiovisual Speech Perception Benefits are Stable from Preschool through Adolescence

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The ability to leverage visual cues in speech perception — especially in noisy backgrounds — is well established from infancy to adulthood. Yet, the developmental trajectory of audiovisual benefits stays a topic of debate. The inconsistency in findings can be attributed to relatively small sample sizes or tasks that are not appropriate for given age groups. We designed an audiovisual speech perception task that was cognitively and linguistically age-appropriate from preschool to adolescence and recruited a large sample () of children (age 4–15). We found that even the youngest children show reliable speech perception benefits when provided with visual cues and that these benefits are consistent throughout development when auditory and visual signals match. Individual variability is explained by how the child experiences their speech-in-noise performance rather than the quality of the signal itself. This underscores the importance of visual speech for young children who are regularly in noisy environments like classrooms and playgrounds.
Abstract Shape Aesthetics: Contour, Complexity, Motion, and Individual Variability
Authors: Soranzo Alessandro , Bertacchini Francesca , Bertamini Marco 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The aesthetics of abstract shapes — shapes devoid of meaning or familiarity — offer an intriguing subject for study, as it can offer insights into how we perceive and appreciate visual stimuli, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of visual cognition and the nature of artistic experience. This research investigates the impact of contour type (angular versus rounded edges) and complexity (number of vertices) on aesthetic preferences, including their potential interaction. Additionally, we explored the influence of movement as an aesthetic variable, given its potential to enhance complexity, though the relationship between movement and complexity remains unexplored. Our findings indicate that both contour type and complexity significantly influence preferences, with shapes featuring curved contours and fewer vertices being favoured. This highlights the aesthetic appeal of curvature and simplicity. Contrary to expectations, movement did not have a noticeable effect on aesthetic judgements. While no overall interaction between contour type and complexity was found, this lack of interaction was obscured by significant individual differences. Specifically, within individuals, strong interactions between contour type and complexity were observed. It appears that these individual differences are due more to the varying emphasis (dominance) placed on each variable rather than a difference in the preference for specific characteristics. Future research should further analyse these individual differences to understand the nuanced dynamics of aesthetic preferences.

Published: July 2024

Summary
This study aimed to investigate and compare the non-anatomical characteristics of six Korean oak wood species (Quercus variabilis, Q. serrata, Q. mongolica, Q. dentata, Q. aliena and Q. acutissima) to provide identification keys and quality indices for the effective utilization of these species. Non-anatomical characteristics, including heartwood fluorescence, fluorescence and color of water and ethanol extracts, froth test, chrome azurol S test and burning splinter test, were evaluated according to the International Association of Wood Anatomists (IAWA) lists. None of the six Korean oak species displayed heartwood fluorescence or fluorescence in the ethanol extract. Only Q. serrata exhibited bright blue fluorescence in the aqueous extract. Each species showed distinct colors in both water and ethanol extracts, and the water extract of all species was darker than that of the ethanol extract. A weak positive reaction in the froth test was observed only for Q. serrata. Furthermore, Q. variabilis and Q. acutissima showed positive reactions to both heartwood and sapwood in the chrome azurol S test. The burning splinter test revealed that only Q. acutissima was transformed into charcoal. Thus, water extract fluorescence and color, ethanol extract color, froth test, chrome azurol S test, and burning splinter test can be used to identify the six Korean oak species.

Published: July 2024

Summary
Distribution shift, a phenomenon in machine learning characterized by a change in input data distribution between training and testing, can reduce the predictive accuracy of deep learning models. As operator and hardware conditions at the time of training are not always consistent with those after deployment, computer vision wood identification (CVWID) models are potentially susceptible to the negative impacts of distribution shift in the field. To maximize the robustness of CVWID models, it is critical to evaluate the influence of distribution shifts on model performance. In this study, a previously published 24-class CVWID model for Peruvian timbers was evaluated on images of test specimens digitally perturbed to simulate four kinds of image variations an operator might encounter in the field including (1) red and blue color shifts to simulate sensor drift or the effects of disparate sensors; (2) resizing to simulate different magnifications that could result from using different or improperly calibrated hardware; (3) digital scratches to simulate artifacts of specimen preparation; and (4) a range of blurring effects to simulate out-of-focus images. The model was most robust to digital scratches, moderately robust to red shift and smaller areas of medium-to-severe blur, and was least robust to resizing, blue shift, and large areas of medium-to-severe blur. These findings emphasize the importance of formulating and consistently applying best practices to reduce the occurrence of distribution shift in practice and standardizing imaging hardware and protocols to ensure dataset compatibility across CVWID platforms.

Published: July 2024

Summary
Fossil woods are preserved as calcareous permineralizations in the Upper Cretaceous Northumberland Formation on Collishaw Point, Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada. They are well preserved, often including peripheral tissues, and reveal the diversity and structure of vegetation in the region ca. 72 million years ago. We describe a new genus and species based on two specimens. Two specimens were cut using a rock saw to expose the fossil wood in transverse and longitudinal sections. Thin sections were prepared using the cellulose acetate peel technique. Peels were mounted on slides with Eukitt mounting medium. Anatomical description follows the IAWA guidelines. We compared the anatomy of the fossils with that of other plants using data available in the published literature and the InsideWood database. The combination of wide vessels and high vessel frequency given the narrow diameter of the stem, combined with the abrupt increase in vessel diameter near the pith indicates this plant had hydraulic properties typical of a climbing plant (liana). The anatomy of the rays, the arrangement of the vessels and their pitting, and the thickness of the bark are also consistent with the climbing habit, but not diagnostic of any extant family. This is the second species of liana to be described from the Hornby Island assemblage, providing new information about the composition of structurally complex mixed conifer–angiosperm forests in the Late Cretaceous of western North America.
How Many Leave Europe and Why Do They? The Birth of Statistics on Global Migration. Brussels 1853
Authors: Rygiel Philippe 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The historical study of the production of statistical knowledge concerning global migration has garnered little attention among historians. This is striking in light of the broader and richly explored domains of global migration regulation, knowledge production, and the history of sciences, including statistics. The marginalisation of this area in historical discourse is noteworthy, considering the pivotal role that statistical knowledge plays in understanding and managing migration. An examination of this topic unveils the interplay between migration policy, statistical methodologies and the contexts in which they were collected. Statistical data bears the mark of the context of its creation and incorporates the peculiarities related to the state of administrative technologies and the resources of the states that collected it. Such data also shows the imprint of social representation, that make it difficult to distinguish the ‘other’, the foreigner, the alien and the migrant, as well as the political agendas that justify the establishment of such a costly means of knowledge.

Abstract
The present work aimed to evaluate protein and amino acid (AA) digestibility/solubility of different black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) based meals for Atlantic salmon in vivo and in vitro. Three types of insect meals that had been through different processing techniques were included: microwave full fat BSFL meal (BSFM), defatted BSFL meal with an enzymatic pre-treatment (BSFE) and a defatted BSFL meal without enzymatic pre-treatment (BSFH). For the in vivo digestibility studies only two ingredients (BSFE and BSFH) were used. The experimental diets for the different ingredients were prepared by mixing a control diet with BSFL meals at an 80:20 ratio. The in vitro method implied a two-stage hydrolysis involving both gastric simulation (acid hydrolysis) and gastrointestinal simulation (acid hydrolysis followed by alkaline hydrolysis), using enzymes extracted from salmon. The results showed that the AA solubility was higher in the gastrointestinal phases than the gastric phase alone, showing the importance of having both phases in vitro solubility for an effective protein breakdown. The AA solubility of different insect-based meals showed that neither partial defatting nor the addition of enzymatic treatment impacted the protein and AA solubility. The in vivo trial (56 days) recorded no differences between fish fed diets containing BSFE and BSFH for growth or body indices. The protein and AA apparent digestibility were similar for both BSFE and BSFH ingredients. Thus, in the current study no differences in nutrient digestibility were observed due to different processing methods employed to BSFL meal both in vivo and in vitro.
First results on the effect of Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki on meal moths in a mealworm farm
Authors: Deruytter D. , Coudron C.L. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a common pest species in mealworm farms as they thrive in a similar environment and on similar feedstock as the mealworm. Although the larvae of the moth do not directly affect the mealworm larvae, they do compete for feed. Furthermore, the webbing may cause technical issues when harvesting or processing the mealworm larvae. Yet, most of the known ways to eradicate the moths are not usable in a mealworm farm due to the harmful effects on the mealworms. In this study, the potential of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) was assessed as these bacteria produce toxins that are specific to the order of Lepidoptera and therefore should not harm mealworms (Order: Coleoptera). Two experiments were conducted to assess the effect of Btk on E. kuehniella, mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and a combination of both species in conditions similar to these encountered in a mealworm farm. The use of 10 (experiment 1) or 12 (experiment 2) concentrations allowed us to assess a broad concentration range (0-250/1000 ppm) and determine the 50% lethal concentration (LC50). The results indicate that Btk, within the assessed range (up to 1000 ppm), had minimal effect on the mealworm larvae, especially the final yield per cup. Nevertheless, further research is needed to determine any impact on the smaller life stages or any sublethal effects. As expected, the meal moths were negatively affected by Btk with a LC50 between 48 ppm and 332 ppm. Based on these results, the use of Btk in mealworm farms to combat meal moth seems promising. Further research is needed to finetune the application and concentration of Btk ensuring minimal use while maintaining effectiveness.

Abstract
Insects are becoming more popular as a soybean meal substitute because they can be raised sustainably on food and feed residues, which improves farming efficiency, sustainability, and animal welfare. In the current study, we replaced 4, 8 and 12% SBM with lesser mealworm Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae and determined its effects on productive performances, blood parameters, gut morphometry and meat quality of the broiler chickens. We also compared commercially available black soldier fly Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larvae. A total of 350 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to seven isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets (5 pens/treatment and 10 birds/pen). The results found that 12% A. diaperinus and H. illucens diets significantly () increased the live weight (LW) and average daily weight gain (ADG) while improving feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the broilers. Daily feed intake (DFI) did not show a significant difference () among all the dietary treatments. Haematology and serum biochemistry traits were significantly () improved except MCHC, monocytes, Eosinophils (EO), albumin and creatinine. The 12% A. diaperinus and H. illucens diets showed the highest villus height (Vh) and the lowest crypt depth than other diets. The meat quality traits were statistically () improved except meat pH, drip loss and shear force (). The results of the study highlight the importance of substituting SBM up to 12% with either A. diaperinus or H. illucens larvae, which improves the productive performances, blood parameters, gut morphometry and meat quality of broilers and thus can be incorporated as an alternative protein source in poultry feed.
