The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of xylanase and bacterial inoculants on in vitro rumen fermentation pattern of seasonal pasture hay and green maize based silage. Different silages were prepared by using green maize fodder and seasonal pasture hay in the proportion of 10:0 & 7:3 ratio in plastic jars of 3 kg capacity by adding common salt @ 0.5%, urea @ 1% and molasses @ 1.5% in each silage with seven different treatments, viz., Control (only green maize), PH (green maize and seasonal pasture hay in 7:3 ratio), X (PH added with xylanase), LP (PH added with L. plantarum), LF (PH added with L. fermentum), LPLF (PH added with both bacterial inoculants) and XLPLF (PH added with xylanase and both bacterial inoculants). Xylanase, L. plantarum and L. fermentum were used @ 1500 IU/g, 1 x 106 cfu/g and 2 x 106 cfu/g, respectively. All silages were used for in vitro study after 45 days of ensiling. None of the additives affected rumen pH. IVDMD (in vitro dry matter degradability ) was found significantly (p<0.05) higher in X, XLPLF and LPLF silages. All additives significantly (p<0.01) increased IVOMD (in vitro organic matter degradability) except LF silage as compared to PH silage. Values for total gas production and TVFA (Total volatile fatty acids) production were significantly (p<0.001) increased during in vitro rumen fermentation and that of PF (partitioning factor) were significantly (p<0.001) decreased in all additives inoculated silages as compared to PH silage. Content of NH3-N (Ammonia nitrogen) was significantly (p<0.001) higher in LP silage and that of total N was significantly (p<0.001) higher in X, LP, XLPLF silages as compared to PH silage during in vitro study. It could be concluded that xylanase and lactic acid bacterial (LAB) inoculants improved rumen fermentation quality of silage. Among all additives, xylanase is the best silage additive to improve in vitro rumen fermentation pattern.

African American Perspectives in Musical Theatre
Authors: Glover Eric M. 
Published: September 2023

From Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins's 1879 musical Peculiar Sam to Lynn Nottage's 2021 musical MJ, the 'Black musical' does not get the credit it deserves for sustaining the genre we know and love. This introductory book is devoted to representative African-American perspectives in musical theatre from the literature of slavery and freedom, 1746-1865, to the contemporary period, offering the reader case studies of what the 'Black musical' is, how it works, and why it matters.
Based on Glover's experience teaching Black musical theatre at a conservatory and in the liberal arts, he draws his close readings of Eubie Blake, Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins, and Charlie Smalls from theory and practice. Moreover, Glover investigates how the ballet, the musical comedy, the opera, the play with music, and the revue are similar and different narrative sub-genres. Finally, the book reflect on issues such as blackface minstrelsy, "the Chitlin Circuit", non-traditional casting, and yellowface.
Published in the Topics in Musical Theatre series, this short book gives the reader new ways of seeing the aesthetically and politically capacious category of Black musical theatre from an anti-racist approach.
Haunted Soundtracks
Authors: Donnelly K. J. , Mollaghan Aimee 
Published: September 2023

The turn of the millennium has heralded an outgrowth of culture that demonstrates an awareness of the ephemeral nature of history and the complexity underpinning the relationship between location and the past. This has been especially apparent in the shifting relationship between landscape, memory and sound in film, television and other media. The result is growing interest in soundtracks, as part of audiovisual culture, as well as an interest in the spectral aspects of culture more generally.
This collection of essays focuses on audiovisual forms that foreground landscape, sound and memory. The scope of inquiry emphasises the ghostly qualities of a certain body of soundtracks, extending beyond merely the idea of 'scary films' or 'haunted houses.' Rather, the notion of sonic haunting is tied to ideas of trauma, anxiety or nostalgia associated with spatial and temporal dislocation in contemporary society. Touchstones for the approach are the concepts of psychogeography and hauntology, pervasive and established critical strategies that are interrogated and refined in relation to the reification of the spectral within the soundtracks under consideration here.
Stop Street Harassment
Authors: Kearl Holly 
Published: September 2023

Using groundbreaking studies, news stories, and interviews, this book underscores that there will never be gender equity until men stop harassing women in public spaces—and it details strategies for achieving this goal.
Street harassment is generally dismissed as harmless, but in reality, it causes women to feel unsafe in public, at least sometimes. To achieve true gender equality, it must come to an end. Stop Street Harassment: Making Public Places Safe and Welcoming for Women draws on academic studies, informal surveys, news articles, and interviews with activists to explore the practice's definition and prevalence, the societal contexts in which it occurs, and the role of factors such as race and sexual orientation. Perhaps more crucially, the book makes clear how women experience street harassment—how they feel about and respond to it—and the ways it negatively impacts lives.
But understanding is only a beginning. In the second half of the book, readers will find concrete strategies for dealing with street harassers and ways to become involved in working to end this all-too-common violation. Educators, counselors, parents, and other concerned individuals will discover resources for teaching about harassment and modeling behavior that will help prevent harassment incidents.

This reference guide documents white-collar crimes by individuals and businesses over the past 150 years, offering the most comprehensive array of documents and interpretations available.
From Gilded Age railroad scandals to the muckraking period and from the Savings and Loan debacle to corporate fallout during the recent economic meltdown, some individuals and companies have chosen to take the low road to achieve “the American dream.” While these offenders throughout modern history may have lacked ethics, morals, or good judgment, they certainly were not wanting in terms of creativity.
White-Collar and Corporate Crime: A Documentary and Reference Guide traces the fascinating history of white-collar and corporate criminal behavior from the 1800s through the 2010 passage of the Dodd-Frank financial reform measure. Author Gilbert Geis scrutinizes more than a century of episodes involving corporate corruption and other self-serving behaviors that violate antitrust laws, bribery statutes, and fraud laws. The various attempts made by authorities to rein in greed and the methods employed by wrongdoers to evade these controls are also discussed and evaluated.

Elena Kagan
Authors: Greene Meg 
Published: September 2023

Readers seeking information about Elena Kagan—from her early life and her ascent to the Supreme Court to how she approaches questions of fairness, justice, equality, and civil rights—will find this biography engaging and invaluable.
Elena Kagan can be considered a “wild card” in terms of how she will vote and affect Supreme Court decisions. While largely considered a liberal, her lack of a judicial “track record” and previous work as Solicitor General lend an air of uncertainty as to how she will react to upcoming cases that have proven highly divisive and controversial.
This full-length biography sheds light on Elena Kagan's life, covering her college years at Princeton and her experience in law school as well as her legal career, which eventually led her to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Appropriate for high school, college, and adult readers, the book not only documents Justice Kagan’s life, achievements, and the possibilities for the future, but also how Kagan is an inspiring role model who demonstrated independence, determination, and high achievement throughout her career.

Legal Response to Oil Pollution in the Maritime Environment: A Comparative Analysis of Nigeria, United Kingdom and the United States
Authors: Tamuno Paul S. 
Published: September 2023

This article undertakes a comparative analysis of the legal response to oil pollution in the maritime environment in Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States. Major oil spills in these three states are examined with the aim of highlighting how each state responded to the pollution. In Nigeria, oil spills that are examined include: Texaco’sFuniwa-5 oil well spill of 1980 and the Mobil Qua-Iboe oil spillage of 1998. As regards the United Kingdom, the Torrey Canyon incident and other spills are examined. For the United States, the Ixtoc 1 spill of 1979, the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 and the Deepwater Horizon spill of 2010 are examined. These spills were often due to accidents and negligence during oil drilling and transportation. The United Kingdom and the United States had more robust legislation and policies that spelt out in advance how companies were to respond to oil spills. They also had effective mechanisms for the implementation and enforcement of the response to oil spills. This was the case even in situations, such as the Torrey Canyon incident, in which the oil spills was from a vessel transporting crude oil in the international waters. In Nigeria, legislation on oil spills were often outdated andin conflict with each other. They were also poorly implemented due to inter alia inadequate funds, lack of political will on the part of the government and the fact that the Nigerian government is in Joint Venture agreements with the Multinational oil companies.
Urgensi Asbab An-Nuzul sebagai Langkah Awal untuk Menafsirkan Al-Qur’an
Authors: Adrian Adrian , Andriani Novi , Nurhayati Umi 
Published: September 2023

Understanding the Qur'an is not enough just to read the text raw or in the language we call it textual. Because it is very possible that there is a misinterpretation in understanding the true content of the Qur'an. So it is very important to have research on Asbab an-nuzul with a description approach to the analysis of the Qur'an, namely by looking from the side "when the Qur'an is with it in the environment or place where the Qur'an was revealed". The aim is to gain haqiqi error in interpreting what is contained in the Qur'an. This study will discuss how important asbabun nuzul is in interpreting the Qur'an so that someone is not mistaken in interpreting the Qur'an. The results of this study found that Asbab an-nuzul has a very important role in getting the truth when interpreting the Qur'an, where to understand a truth in the Qur'an, a mufassir needs tools, one of which is by looking at the events when the verse was revealed, the existence of a verse of the Qur'an cannot be separated from an existing event and must have a number of existing problems, and should be known in detail. As religious people who are obedient and from an early age have embedded the values of tawhid, it is mandatory for us to believe in the revelation of Allah that has been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, has been maintained authenticity by Allah SWT

La muestra estuvo conformada por 215 estudiantes a quienes se les administró el Self Reporting Questionnaire - SRQ 20 y la Escala de Cansancio emocional, instrumentos con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas.

Resultados: Los resultados indican que los trastornos mentales comunes se presentaban con una baja intensidad y la mayoría de estudiantes presentaban niveles moderados de cansancio emocional. Del mismo modo, se determinó que el coeficiente de correlación rho de Spearman entre ambas variables fue de 0,503 y el p-valor fue inferior al nivel de significancia (p<0,05).

Conclusiones: Se concluyó que existe relación entre los trastornos mentales comunes y el cansancio emocional en estudiantes universitarios. Por ello, se recomienda que la universidad implemente programas de salud mental y educación sobre bienestar emocional para mejorar el desempeño y la calidad de vida de los estudiantes.
Research on Environmental Protection Laws and Policies for Sustainable Green Development
Authors: Kumar Pawan , Kumar Sarvesh 
Published: September 2023

Objective: Sustainable development in the modern day must inevitably include green development as it provides the best means of addressing the dual issues of protecting the environment and boosting the economy. This article aims to introduce the episodes of green finance to discuss the role of the green economy in attaining sustainable development objectives and address particular problems of sustainable finance and environmental, social, and governance concerns of green financing. A significant challenge is evaluating the success of the 2030 Agenda and the role played by public policy. Several projects have arisen to link budgetary expenditures and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) performance at all levels since it is widely understood that budgets are one of the most effective weapons available to administrations to drive forward this contribution. Governments have lately implemented new policies relating to GE to optimize its effect.

Method: Thus, this paper suggests an Environmental Regulations-based Sustainable Green Development (ER-SGD) strategy for protecting the environment and boosting the economy.

Result: This essay uses environmental regulation as a moderator to experimentally explore the influence strategy of political competitions on the efficacy of green development from several viewpoints.

Conclusion: This article covers bolstering performance evaluation, optimizing energy savings and lowering emissions, and promoting business technology R&D.
