EFL learning, religious faith and globalization in Indonesia's pesantren

World Englishes, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 595-612, September 2026.
Abstract Increasing global demands to teach and learn English in religious educational institutions remain high, yet little EFL research has been conducted in such contexts. Using Indonesia's Islamic educational institutions (i.e., the pesantren) as a focus of analysis, this article seeks to narrow that gap by examining the key factors driving EFL ...

From Fish Waste to Stable Omega‐3 Bioactive Lipids: Encapsulation Strategies and a Conceptual Framework for Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Functional Food Fortification

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fish waste is valorized into omega‐3‐rich bioactive lipids (EPA and DHA), followed by stabilization through advanced encapsulation technologies to prevent oxidation and improve storage stability. Encapsulation protects polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation, improves storage stability, enables controlled gastrointestinal release, and enhances ...

Enhancing Ground Beef Shelf Life Using Psidium guajava Leaf and Oliveria decumbens Essential Oils: Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Quality Preservation Effects Under Refrigeration

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Guava leaf essential oil (GL‐EO) and Oliveria decumbens essential oil (Od‐EO) improved the microbial and oxidative stability of refrigerated ground beef and helped extend its shelf life. GL‐EO better preserved odor and color, while the combined GL‐EO + Od‐EO treatment provided the best texture preservation and highest overall acceptability.

Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4966-4983, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that
