The Effect of High Environment Temperature on Physiological Condition and Productivity of Native Chicken

The optimal productivity of native chicken could be reached if reared on thermoneutral zone, a comfortable environment temperature. The comfortable environment temperature for the native chicken is still unknown, but it is predicted on around 18 to 25 °C. The native chicken placed on high temperature (25-31 °C) shows low productivity, including lower product and the weight of eggs, and also low growth rate. The decrease of egg number could reach 25% compared with those placed on comfortable environment temperature. The weight of 8 week-age ofnative chicken are also different i.e 257 g on high temperature, while on comfortable temperature could reach 427 g. This productivity decreased is mainly caused by the decreased of feed consumption, and also by the change of physiological condition of the chicken. The efforts to increase the native chicken production on high environment temperature are through selecting and crossing, manipulating environmental temperature, improving rearing management, and manipulating feedstuff and feed management. Manipulating feedstuff is the cheapest method, easy to do for increasing the amount of nutrient consumption. The method is by adding vitamine C, phosphor or giving sodium bycarbonate in the rations. The amount of vitamine C addition is 200-600 mg/kg ration on chicken producing eggs and 100-200 mg/kg ration to improve the chicken growth. Key words: High environment temperature, physiology, productivity, native chicke

Male-male marriage in Sinophone and Anglophone Harry Potter danmei and slash

The aim of this study is to compare Sinophone and Anglophone fan fiction consisting of female-oriented male-male romance: danmei and slash, respectively. To increase comparability, we analysed Harry Potter fan fiction in which the characters Harry and Draco are married. Male-male marriage was selected because our online Sinophone and Anglophone BL fandom surveys indicate this to be the most popular story element of the nine options we provided. We analysed five stories originally written in Chinese and five originally written in English which subsequently had been fan-translated into Chinese. Using Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) we found some robust patterns. In contrast to the Anglophone fiction, the Sinophone tended to: stress the importance of family approval for the marriage; incorporate a wedding ceremony; employ clearly gendered roles between partners; utilise extended, as opposed to nuclear, families; and showed the couple to produce children, particularly boys. Hence, the stories mirror the relative social conservatism and social liberalism of their cultures of origin. However, in reading and writing such danmei young Chinese women are still pushing at the boundaries of the traditional family
