Legume Leaves in Improving the Quality of Feed Silage Ruminants: Advantages, Challenges and Strategies | Chapter 8 | Innovations in Biological Science Vol. 8

 

Feed is an essential element in animal husbandry, and silage is increasingly becoming the top choice in providing quality feed to ruminants. In this context, an overview of the use of legume leaves in improving the quality of silage attracts attention for its potential in increasing the nutritional value of feed. The purpose of this review was to explore the advantages, challenges, and strategies associated with the use of legume leaves in silage for ruminants. Leguminosae, with its ability to nitrogen fixation, offers a major advantage in the provision of protein and another significant role of improving silage qualities. However, challenges such as diversity of legume species, proper silage management, how to procure it efficiently and toxicity are factors to consider. Necessary strategies include selection of suitable varieties, increased cultivation of legumes, and application of effective silage conservation technologies and addressing risks. The implication of this review is that the use of legume leaves in silage has enormous potential to improve ruminant feed quality, which in turn can increase livestock productivity. In the livestock industry, this can lead to improved production efficiency and animal welfare. While in the context of research, this broadens horizons about innovative feed strategies. The conclusions and recommendations of this review affirm the importance of further research in this area as well as the need to develop policies that support the use of legume leaves in silage to strengthen the sustainability and production efficiency of ruminant animals.

The Literature of Situational Judgement Test (SJT) for Evaluating Individual Performance | Chapter 2 | Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research Vol. 4

The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is one of the evaluation instruments that is often used nowadays. Usually, SJT is used for evaluating performance on an individual level. However, the literature on SJT is rarely discussed, and there are still several issues in using the SJT, including gender inequalities and measurement difficulty. In an SJT, a hypothetical situation is presented, and the candidate is asked to rate possible responses or choose one from a list of options. There are two different categories of response options: knowledge-based and behaviour-based. Additional response formats for the SJT include rating, ranking, and multiple choice. These formats are helpful for assessments because different response formats have varying relationships with knowledge, cognitive ability, and other constructs. These relationships depend on the test's specifications as well as the context or stage of the education and training pathway that the SJT is targeting. By using SJT, it offers reliable and valid implicit evaluation. Secondly, SJT have minimal cost impact and are simple to administrate. Thirdly, SJT is a well-liked method for evaluating emotional abilities. As a result, SJT enhances assessment by providing a reliable and economical instrument for gauging non-academic abilities. Therefore, future research may focus on using SJT in assessing individual performance such as leadership. In addition, SJT may also be used to assess how job seekers behave while submitting their applications. When someone applies to enroll in any college to further their education, the SJT can also be utilized to evaluate their expertise.

Study on the Challenge of Conservation of Strategic Change: A Case of Alliance Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi | Chapter 7 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 14

 There was a global financial and business catastrophe last year. Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly failing, and the majority of them are attempting to produce the necessary profit to stay afloat. Furthermore, it has been discovered that this crisis is affecting large corporations that have either gone bankrupt or are on the verge of doing so. The following project will present and analyse Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi's strategic alliance. The existing external environment and the decision's drivers are discussed. The new tendencies in the automotive sector toward mobility, connection, and green products are examined in further detail. The alliance's model, as well as the results in terms of sales and development, are also given. During the preceding year, the three companies established a new cooperative scheme based on the "Leader-Follower" business model. This technique is also presented in a critical light. After that, a SWOT analysis is performed, and recommendations for future tactics are produced. The goal of this article is to look at the three firms' merger strategy and see how far a vision of transformation, of a better scenario, can be built. Also, to see if Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi would be able to compete effectively in domestic, hourly, and international markets as a result of their growing market share.

 The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the higher education sector around the world, with many universities and colleges shutting down completely. This position presents a slew of issues that have the potential to exacerbate disparities in cultures that are now compelled to go online. Almost all colleges have moved away from face-to-face study and toward remote or online learning. The worldwide higher education community has faced significant challenges. This chapter focused on the issues that the higher education sector experienced in many nations around the world during a COVID-19 pandemic, and how remote learning and related technology, such as videoconferencing, could help. The continuation of this vital industry during the new normal era was aided by platforms and other online ramifications. The challenges, benefits, and drawbacks of using these technologies by instructors and students, as well as ways to overcome these drawbacks, will be discussed.
