Exploring the relationship between English language syntax and cohesion in professional discourse
This study explores the relationship between English language syntax and cohesion in professional discourse across domains such as business, law, medicine, and academia. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative corpus analysis of syntactic structures and cohesive devices with qualitative discourse analysis guided by Hallidayan Functional Grammar. The study analyzes 200 authentic professional texts, sourced from academic databases, institutional repositories, and public domain documents, ensuring a comprehensive and representative sample. Findings reveal that syntactic structures and cohesive devices play crucial roles in shaping textual coherence and comprehension. For instance, coordination establishes hierarchical relationships between clauses, while ellipsis helps maintain consistency by omitting redundant information. However, complex syntactic structures often hinder comprehension, particularly for non-native speakers. A comprehension study conducted with 120 participants (60 native and 60 non-native English speakers) further supports these findings. Native speakers outperformed non-native speakers across all conditions, but both groups benefited significantly from high levels of cohesive devices, particularly in texts with simpler syntax. Statistical analysis using ANOVA shows a significant interaction between syntactic complexity and cohesive devices (p = 0.05), underscoring the importance of balancing these linguistic features. This research contributes to the fields of linguistics, professional communication, and discourse analysis by identifying patterns and correlations that enhance understanding of professional texts

Palm oil and fishery waste are recognized as potential environmental concerns, necessitating their processing for reuse as feed material. This study aimed to evaluate the digestibility of feed materials based on palm oil waste and fish waste, utilizing EM4 and Aspergillus niger in goats. Six male goats was randomly used to assess the digestibility of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) in six types of feed, each featuring distinct waste and fermenter, employing a 6x6 Latin Square Design. Digestibility data were obtained through in vitro and in vivo methods. The in vivo method showedthat T2, made from palm oil waste and Aspergillus niger, demonstrated the highest DM digestibility of 62.10±7.64%. Conversely, the highest CP digestibility was found in T4, which consists of fish waste with Aspergillus niger, yielding an average protein digestibility value of 67.21±9.81%. In contrast, the in vitro method indicated that the highest DM digestibility occurred in T6, which combines palm and fish waste with Aspergillus niger, averaging 65.25±5.59%. Meanwhile, T4 (fish waste with Aspergillus niger) showed a protein digestibility of 71.69±8.7%. These findings suggest that palm oil waste and fish waste can be tailored to meet livestock nutritional requirements. Furthermore, they indicate that utilizing Aspergillus niger is a more cost-effective approach compared to EM4
