“…However, this study showed that there were no differences between carcass percentage, breast percentage, thigh percentage, liver, gizzard, and heart weight of the chickens. Brzoska et al [11] and Fikry et al [12] also recorded the same results, which showed no effects citric acid on the carcass, breast, thigh percentage, and edible organs of the chicken. It was also similar to the study of Ahsan-ul-Haq et al [25], citric acid did not affect the weight of edible organs.…”

“…Increase meat quality of chicken by citric acid was also recorded in the study of Fascina et al [10]. However, there were not many studies can prove that citric acid can increase carcass percentage, breast percentage, thigh percentage, edible organs [11,12]. On the other hand, citric acid reduces the pH in the gut as an acidic environment to develop useful bacteria [10].…”

Aims:The study used native crossbred chickens to evaluate the effects of citric acid on growth performance and carcass traits of these chickens Study Design: The experiment was a completely randomized design. Place and Duration of Study: School of Agriculture and Aquaculture's experimental farm, Tra Vinh University, between December 2020 to March 2021 (4 months). Methodology: This study was a completely randomized design with four diets which were 0%, 0.15%, 0.25%, and 0.5% (CT, CT0.15, CT0.25, and CT0.50 respectively) of citric acid and three replicates per each diet. A total of 10 birds was allotted in each group with a 1:1 sex ratio. Feed and water were given ad libitum to the chickens. Data were collected daily throughout the experiment. At the end of the trial, the chickens were butchered to ascertain the weight of the carcass, breast, thigh, and internal organs. Results:The results showed that chickens in the diet with 0.5% citric acid had a great performance, live weight was higher than other treatments with 632.1 g/bird at 8 weeks of age, daily weight gain, feed intake showed better performance as well. There was a linear feed conversion ratio when citric acid increased from 0 -0.5% in the diets. Carcass weight, breast weight, and thigh weight were

“…When teachers use the voice memo function of WhatsApp for feedback on written work, students can play this many times on their telephones and leave memos that express emotions and tone of voice. Equally, using breakout rooms on Zoom can support teacher-student and student-student rapport and lower anxiety levels (Fikry et al, 2021).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused dramatic shifts in education worldwide. In the spring of 2020, universities abruptly moved to emergency remote teaching and learning (ERT&L), with online and hybrid education continuing into the post-pandemic era. In the Gulf, cultural, religious, and sociolinguistic dynamics can present additional challenges for teaching and learning online. Reluctance to use cameras due to modesty, privacy, and E-safety concerns, amongst others, affects interaction and rapport. This article presents empirical data from a qualitative phenomenological case study investigating male and female Emirati university students’ (n = 107) perspectives on access, interaction, and engagement during Zoom classes in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021. Students’ reflective essays and researcher observations revealed that intersecting factors, such as gender, religion, culture, linguistic challenges in English-medium universities, and fear of judgment, affected participants’ comfort levels and learning effectiveness in online classes. Data are analyzed through interpretive phenomenological analysis and the analytical tool of intersectionality, through which complexities of learner identities are explored. Practical suggestions are made on adapting online and hybrid learning to suit the sociocultural realities of Gulf states better by enhancing interaction and engagement in online classes without compromising comfort, E-safety, and privacy in post-pandemic education

“…They can also leave voice memos which are private rather than being in front of the whole class. A further way to develop learner–teacher rapport in ERT&L is through greater use of ‘breakout rooms’ as well as private Facebook groups for class discussions, debates and conversations ( Fikry et al, 2021 ). To conclude, a focus on intersecting context-specific sociolinguistic factors in Global South and periphery ERT&L contexts can help raise awareness and help close the digital divide as well as the English divide in EMI universities.…”

The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented shifts in higher education worldwide, with some nations more adversely affected than others. Since the onset of the crisis, almost all education abruptly moved to ‘emergency remote teaching and learning’. While the United Arab Emirates has been praised for its swift and effective responses, unique cultural and linguistic dynamics in this region present additional challenges for teaching and learning. This article presents empirical data from a qualitative phenomenological case study investigating female Emirati university students’ ( n = 69) perspectives on the use of video cameras and microphones in online classes. Students’ reflective writing and researcher observations in autumn 2020 revealed discomfort using video cameras and microphones due to a range of cultural and linguistic factors. Such factors include Islamic beliefs relating to modesty, home as a gendered space, noise considerations, concerns about privacy, struggles with language in their English-medium instruction university and fear of judgement from peers. Data are interpreted thematically using intersectionality together with Goffman’s theories of everyday interaction, stigma and relative deprivation, through which complexities of learner identities are explored. Practical suggestions are made on ways to adapt online learning to better suit the cultural and sociolinguistic realities of periphery and Global South contexts. It is argued that greater efforts need to be made toward inclusion of marginalized learners during the COVID-19 period.
