AbstractThe rapidly growing world human population accentuates the need for improved production especially of protein-rich food. Broiler meat production offers opportunity to ensure security of this food. However, the production of modern broilers is not only limited by high feed costs due to dietary use of expensive energy and protein sources but also their meat possesses undesirable quality attributes. This study thus examined the effect of dietary Mucuna pruriens utilis seed meal (MSM) on growth performance, blood profile, carcass traits, and meat quality in finisher broiler chickens. In a completely randomised design (CRD), 320 21-day-old chicks were randomly allocated to 32 pens in which they were allotted 4 dietary treatments with 0, 2.5, 5, and 10% MSM, each with 8 replicate pens of 10 birds, for 28 days. Growth performance, carcass characteristics, internal organs, haemato-biochemistry, and meat quality were measured. Results showed that dietary MSM did not affect (P > 0.05) broiler performance, weights, and lengths of carcass cuts and internal organs, haematology, and meat quality. The only exception was MSM-induced increase in duodenal weight (linear, P < 0.05) and serum phosphorus (quadratic, P = 0.05) in contrast to a decrease in procalcitonin (quadratic, P < 0.01) and serum levels of total protein (linear, P < 0.05; and quadratic, P < 0.01), albumin (quadratic, P < 0.05), and bilirubin (quadratic, P = 0.001). Therefore, MSM could be supplemented up to 10% without compromising performance, carcass traits, internal organs, haemato-biochemistry, and meat quality in finisher broiler diets.

Published: September 2023

AbstractTo investigate whether a creative writing unit in upper secondary education would improve students’ creative as well as argumentative text quality and to examine whether it would change students’ writing behavior, we tested a creative writing unit based on encouraging writing in flow by using divergent thinking tasks. Four classes (Grade 10) participated in a switching replications design. Students received either creative writing instruction (CWI) or argumentative writing instruction (AWI). Key stroke logging software recorded students’ writing processes, their Creative Self-Concept (CSC) was measured, and text quality was rated holistically. Students were positive about the design of the creative writing unit and the lessons. The effects varied per panel. The first panel showed that CWI had an effect on creative text quality compared to AWI, while AWI had no effect on argumentative text quality, compared to CWI. This pattern indicates a transfer effect of creative writing instruction on argumentative text quality. The transfer effect was moderated by CSC, with larger effects for relatively high CSC-participants. The second panel did not replicate this pattern. Instead, a crossover effect was observed of CWI in panel 1 on the effect of participating in the unit on argumentative writing in panel 2, most pronounced in high CSC-participants. Students’ creative writing speed decreased in the first panel, except for students with a relatively high Creative Self-Concept, and then increased in the second panel. Our findings may guide decisions on incorporating creative writing in the curriculum.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mandibular advancement splint (MAS) therapy on cardiac autonomic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.

Methods
Electrocardiograms (ECG) derived from polysomnograms (PSG) of three prospective studies were used to study HRV of patients with OSA before and after MAS treatment. HRV parameters were averaged across the entire ECG signal during N2 sleep using 2-min epochs shifted by 30 s. Paired t-tests were used to compare PSG and HRV measures before and after treatment, and the percent change in HRV measures was regressed on the percent change in apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI).

Results
In 101 patients with OSA, 72% were Caucasian, 54% men, the mean age was 56 ± 11 years, BMI 29.8 ± 5.3 kg/m2, and treatment duration was 4.0 ± 3.2 months. After MAS therapy, there was a significant reduction in OSA severity (AHI, − 18 ± 16 events per hour, p < 0.001) and trends towards increased low-frequency to high-frequency ratio, low-frequency power, and reduced high-frequency power (LF:HF, − 0.4 ± 1.5, p = 0.01; LF, − 3 ± 16 nu, p = 0.02, HF, 3.5 ± 13.7 nu, p = 0.01). Change in NN intervals correlated with the change in AHI (β(SE) =  − 2.21 (0.01), t =  − 2.85, p = 0.005). No significant changes were observed in the time-domain HRV markers with MAS treatment.

Conclusion
The study findings suggest that successful MAS treatment correlates with changes in HRV, specifically the lengthening of NN intervals, a marker for improved cardiac autonomic adaptability.
Hunger games search optimization with deep learning model for sustainable supply chain management

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe supply chain network is one of the most important areas of focus in the majority of business circumstances. Blockchain technology is a feasible choice for secure information sharing in a supply chain network. Despite the fact that maintaining security at all levels of the blockchain is difficult, cryptographic methods are commonly used in existing works. Effective supply chain management (SCM) offers various benefits to organizations, such as enhanced customer satisfaction, increased operational efficiency, competitive advantage, and cost reduction. Potential SCM for agricultural and food supply chains needs distributors, coordination and collaboration among farmers, retailers, and stakeholders. The use of technology like Block Chain (BC), sensors, and data analytics, can boost traceability and visibility, decrease waste, and ensure safety and quality throughout the supply chain. Therefore, this study develops a Hunger Games Search Optimization with Deep Learning Model for Sustainable agricultural and food Supply Chain Management (HGSODL-ASCM) technique. The fundamental goal of the HGSODL-ASCM technique is to improve decision-making processes for agricultural and food commodity production and storage in order to optimise revenue. In the provided HGSODL-ASCM technique, a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) model is built to determine the amount of productivity and storage required to maximise profit. In order to boost the performance of the Bi-LSTM classification process, the HGSO algorithm has been utilized in this work. The presented HGSODL-ASCM technique can independently achieve the SCM policies via interaction with complicated and adaptive environments. A brief set of simulations were performed to ensure the improved performance of the HGSODL-ASCM technique. The simulation results demonstrated how superior the HGSODL-ASCM method is to other methods already in use.
Physical properties of defatted and extruded black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae-based aqua-feed using a twin-screw extruder
Authors: Edah Bernard , Owolabi Olufemi David 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA twin-screw hot extrusion processing study was performed using defatted black soldier fly larvae (DBSFL) meal as a complete substitute for Danish fishmeal (DFM) in the production of aqua-feed. The defatting process of full-fat black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) reduced its crude fat content by 60%. This was mixed together with other ingredients (soybean meal, cassava flour, vitamin and mineral mix, vitamin C, and anti-mold) to formulate a fish diet containing 40% crude protein. The moisture content of the formulated mixture was 300 g/kg prior to extrusion. The extruder feeder motor speed, main motor speed and cutter motor speed were set at 210, 300 and 700 rpm respectively. Results show a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the crude protein (CP) content of DBSFL meal when compared with full-fat BSFL meal with values of 51.83 ± 0.03 and 47.44 ± 0.2 respectively. However, CP values of the DBSFL meal were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those obtained for DFM with values of 51.83 ± 0.03 and 72.13 ± 0.18 respectively. The physical properties of extruded floating pellets showed significant differences (P < 0.05) between DFM-based extrudates and DBSFL-based extrudates in terms of expansion ratio (ER), sinking velocity (SV), Unit density (UD), bulk density (BD), and pellet durability. However, no significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed in terms of floatability, moisture content and water absorption index (WAI). It was concluded that, the extrusion of DBSFL-based pellets compared favourably with DFM-based extruded pellets thus, the processing of full-fat BSFL into DBSFL meal makes the latter suitable for extrusion purposes and appropriate in the production of good quality floating feed pellets desired by fish farmers and suitable for feeding fish.
Inductive Reasoning Involving Social Kinds
Authors: EMERICK BARRETT , HILDEBRAND TYLER 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMost social policies cannot be defended without making inductive inferences. For example, consider certain arguments for racial profiling and affirmative action, respectively. They begin with statistics about crime or socioeconomic indicators. Next, there is an inductive step in which the statistic is projected from the past to the future. Finally, there is a normative step in which a policy is proposed as a response in the service of some goal—for example, to reduce crime or to correct socioeconomic imbalances. In comparison to the normative step, the inductive step of a policy defense may seem trivial. We argue that this is not so. Satisfying the demands of the inductive step is difficult, and doing so has important but underappreciated implications for the normative step. In this paper, we provide an account of induction in social contexts and explore its implications for policy. Our account helps to explain which normative principles we ought to accept, and as a result it can explain why it is acceptable to make inferences involving race in some contexts (e.g., in defense of affirmative action) but not in others (e.g., in defense of racial profiling).
Cost–Benefit Analysis of an “Average” Professional Sports Team or Stadium in the United States
Authors: Sepulveda Cristian F. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractProfessional sports teams commonly reevaluate their location decisions based on the prospect of building new, more attractive, stadiums. Even though a large economic literature warns about the modest (and possibly negative) effects on the local economy of hosting a professional sports team, the economic effects of professional teams and stadiums remain blurry for the general public, and cities in the United States continue to compete to lure teams with generous public subsidies. This article integrates several contributions of the literature into one cohesive and simple framework based on cost–benefit analysis, and provides estimations of the average local economic effects of teams in the four biggest professional leagues in the United States. If professional sports games do not attract visitors from other cities, or if players and owners do not spend a significant share of their income in the area, hosting a team can negatively affect the local economy.
Compositionality in visual perception
Authors: Hafri Alon , Green E. J. , Firestone Chaz 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Quilty-Dunn et al.'s wide-ranging defense of the Language of Thought Hypothesis (LoTH) argues that vision traffics in abstract, structured representational formats. We agree: Vision, like language, is compositional – just as words compose into phrases, many visual representations contain discrete constituents that combine in systematic ways. Here, we amass evidence extending this proposal, and explore its implications for how vision interfaces with the rest of the mind.
Representational structures only make their mark over time: A case from memory
Authors: Aronowitz Sara 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Memory structures range across the dimensions that distinguish language-like thought. Recent work suggests agent- or situation-specific information is embedded in these structures. Understanding why this is, and pulling these structures apart, requires observing what happens under major changes. The evidence presented for the language-of-thought (LoT) does not look broadly enough across time to capture the function of representational structure.
Never not the best: LoT and the explanation of person-level psychology
Authors: Antony Louise 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
As Quilty-Dunn et al. observe, the language-of-thought hypothesis (LoTH) has fallen out of favor in philosophy. I will support the arguments made for its rehabilitation by Quilty-Dunn et al. by reviewing old, but still potent arguments for LoTH, and briefly criticizing recent proposed alternatives to LoT, such as Frances Egan's deflationism and Eric Schwitzgebel's dispositionalism, revealing inadequacies in such antirepresentational, antisyntactic theories.
Toward biologically plausible artificial vision
Authors: Westfall Mason 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Quilty-Dunn et al. argue that deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) optimized for image classification exemplify structural disanalogies to human vision. A different kind of artificial vision – found in reinforcement-learning agents navigating artificial three-dimensional environments – can be expected to be more human-like. Recent work suggests that language-like representations substantially improves these agents’ performance, lending some indirect support to the language-of-thought hypothesis (LoTH).
Is core knowledge in the format of LOT?
Authors: Xu Fei 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Object individuation provides a test case for the claim that infants already have a prelinguistic language-of-thought (LOT). By 12 months, infants represent several sortal-kinds: Object, agent, animate, and perhaps artifact. Infants have also encountered many words for object kinds, animals, people, and artifacts, therefore it remains a viable hypothesis that language learning may play a causal role in the acquisition of sortal-kinds, contra Quilty-Dunn et al.
A language of episodic thought?
Authors: Mahr Johannes B. , Schacter Daniel L. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We propose that episodic thought (i.e., episodic memory and imagination) is a domain where the language-of-thought hypothesis (LoTH) could be fruitfully applied. On the one hand, LoTH could explain the structure of what is encoded into and retrieved from long-term memory. On the other, LoTH can help make sense of how episodic contents come to play such a large variety of different cognitive roles after they have been retrieved.
Language-of-thought hypothesis: Wrong, but sometimes useful?
Authors: Roskies Adina L. , Allen Colin 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Quilty-Dunn et al. maintain that language-of-thought hypothesis (LoTH) is the best game in town. We counter that LoTH is merely one source of models – always wrong, sometimes useful. Their reasons for liking LoTH are compatible with the view that LoTH provides a sometimes pragmatically useful level of abstraction over processes and mechanisms that fail to fully live up to LoT requirements.
Concept learning in a probabilistic language-of-thought. How is it possible and what does it presuppose?
Authors: Colombo Matteo 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWhere does a probabilistic language-of-thought (PLoT) come from? How can we learn new concepts based on probabilistic inferences operating on a PLoT? Here, I explore these questions, sketching a traditional circularity objection to LoT and canvassing various approaches to addressing it. I conclude that PLoT-based cognitive architectures can support genuine concept learning; but, currently, it is unclear that they enjoy more explanatory breadth in relation to concept learning than alternative architectures that do not posit any LoT.
Evidence for LoTH: Slim pickings
Authors: Pereplyotchik David 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this commentary, I contend that a representative sample of the arguments in the target article miss the mark. In particular, the interface problem provides no warrant for positing similarities between representational formats, and the evidence from neurocognitive, animal, and behavioral studies is inconclusive at best. Finally, I raise doubts about whether the authors' central hypothesis is falsifiable.
The language of tactile thought
Authors: Cheng Tony 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe target article argues that language-of-thought hypothesis (LoTH) is applicable to various domains, including perception. However, it focusses exclusively on the visual case, which is limited in this regard. I argue for two ideas in this commentary: first, their case can be extended to other modalities such as touch; and second, the status of those six criteria needs to be further clarified.
The language-of-thought hypothesis as a working hypothesis in cognitive science
Authors: Quilty-Dunn Jake , Porot Nicolas , Mandelbaum Eric 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe target article attempted to draw connections between broad swaths of evidence by noticing a common thread: Abstract, symbolic, compositional codes, that is, language-of-thoughts (LoTs). Commentators raised concerns about the evidence and offered fascinating extensions to areas we overlooked. Here we respond and highlight the many specific empirical questions to be answered in the next decade and beyond.
In Defence of the Concept of Mental Illness
Authors: Chappell Zsuzsanna 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMany worry about the over-medicalisation of mental illness, and some even argue that we should abandon the term mental illness altogether. Yet, this is a commonly used term in popular discourse, in policy making, and in research. In this paper I argue that if we distinguish between disease, illness, and sickness (where illness refers to the first-personal, subjective experience of the sufferer), then the concept of mental illness is a useful way of understanding a type of human experience, inasmuch as the term is (i) apt or accurate, (ii) a useful hermeneutical resource for interpreting and communicating experience, and (iii) can be a good way for at least some of us to establish a liveable personal identity within our culture.

AbstractIdentification of methane origins remains a challenging work as current diagnostic signals are often not sufficient to resolve individual formation and post‐formation processes. To address such a knowledge gap in a tectonically active and fragmented terrain, samples from mud volcanoes, gas seeps, and springs distributed along structural features onshore and offshore of Taiwan were analyzed for their isotopic compositions of methane, nitrogen, helium, dissolved inorganic carbon, CO2, and water. Our analyses yielded Δ13CH3D and Δ12CH2D2 values ranging between +1.9‰ and +7.8‰ and between +3.0‰ and +19.9‰, respectively. A portion of the samples were characterized by values that represent the thermodynamic equilibrium at temperatures of 99°–260°C. These temperature estimates, together with the bulk isotopic compositions and local geothermal gradients (25°–30°C/km), suggest that methane was formed by thermal maturation of organic matter at depths of 2–9 km below the land surface and channeled upward along faults. Other samples were found to deviate from equilibrium by varying degrees. Considering the geological background, helium isotopic ratios, and nitrogen isotopologue compositions, and methanogens detected at some sites, these gases are either abiotic in origin or a mixture of microbial and thermogenic sources. Regardless of whether the equilibrium of methane isotopologues was reached, few sites hosted by sedimentary formations were characterized by mantle‐like helium signatures, indicating decoupled origins and potential degassing of helium from the relic igneous source. Overall, these results suggest the extraction of methane and other gases from multiple depths from strata fragmented by fault displacement in an active orogenic belt.

AbstractThe modern high topography of the eastern Tibetan Plateau is drained by several of the largest rivers on Earth, and exerts a prominent influence on the Asian monsoon pattern. However, when the high terrain was formed remains highly debated. Here, we present detrital zircon U‐Pb ages that indicate a south‐flowing drainage system with distal headwaters passed through the Ninglang Basin at ca. 45 Ma. We advocate for early–middle Eocene surface uplift in the Gonjo Basin and areas to the west creating a southeast tilted topography across eastern Tibet. The termination of sedimentation at ca. 40 Ma implies that the river system had deviated from the Ninglang Basin, which we interpret as a result of rise of the Yalong‐Yulong thrust belt. Combined with other lines of evidence from previous studies, we support the establishment of moderate‐high elevation topography of eastern Tibet by late Eocene time.
