Subjetividades neoliberales en la pospandemia: reflexiones desde la filosofía y la sociología
Authors: Fernández Rodríguez Carlos Jesús , Medina-Vicent Maria
Published: September 2023

El presente monográfico pretende plantear una reflexión sobre la construcción de las subjetividades contemporáneas en un contexto de pospandemia. El punto de partida en la gestación de este proyecto editorial han sido los debates vinculados a las nuevas subjetividades asociadas a la hegemonía del neoliberalismo. En el marco de las sociedades contemporáneas emergen las subjetividades neoliberales, individuos que, en su conducta cotidiana, incorporan ideas y prácticas análogas a las de las empresas. ¿Cómo afecta el contexto pospandémico a dichas subjetividades? A partir de los argumentos expuestos en las distintas contribuciones de este monográfico, no es imprudente señalar que, pese a los desafíos futuros y el impacto de la pandemia en una reevaluación de los proyectos vitales de los ciudadanos, la colonización cultural del neoliberalismo sigue presente todavía en nuestras sociedades y entre nosotros con mucha, mucha fuerza.

Menyikapi Isu Kesetaraan Gender di Indonesia dalam Perspektif Imago Dei
Authors: Absalom Lerry Kristian , Kaka Bernardus , Tanhidy Jamin
Published: September 2023

The issue of gender equality is an issue that occurs in society. In certain societies gender discrimination does not seem to be a problem, even though it actually causes problems. Through this research, researchers examine the issue of gender equality in Indonesia. A theological research approach was used to address the issue of gender equality. The researcher found that the image of God in Genesis 1:26-28 is blurred by cultural factors. The image of God is to declare that human beings are the existence that reveals the form of God. Therefore, the presence of humans as the image of God implies that humans are the image of God who also inherits the attributes of God. Thus, men and women are in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, acts of gender discrimination are not feasible. Humans should not ignore each other as a perfect unity in God's creation. This is because God made men and women in His image and likeness.

Published: September 2023

Complex data with multiple variables can be simplified to deduce the trends and relationship between the variables using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which further submits the usage of the variables to establish a Hierachical Cluster Analysis (HCA). Sample bottles were cleaned and rinsed with water from the sampling sites and filled to the brim to avoid any atmospheric oxidation. Five water catchments, 29 boreholes. 16 Open wells, 16 rivers and 16 streams were sampled in this work, and were taken immediately to the Laboratory for physico-chemical analysis. The physico-chemical data in application of the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), converted the multiple variables into interpretable data in a correlation matrix. Pearson’s correlation matrix used in this work, reduced the data in correlation circles that were a range of geometrical projections that ranged from +1 to -1 called the correlation ratios. Variables, with correlation ratios greater than 0.5 or (-0.5) and closer to +1 or (-1) are considered significant, and are used in the Hierachical Cluster Analysis. The HCA is in form of a tree diagram called a dendrogram that arranged the variables in an increasing order of significance, with similar correlated variables put in clusters. HCA is innovative and compliments the PCA that already exists and focuses on analysis of ions expected to greatly impact an effect on water quality from their significance in the water sources. The Hierachical Component Analysis is derived from and viewed as an extension of the Principal Components Analysis.

A subgroup H of a group G is termed quasinormal in G if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions: For any subgroup K of G, HK (the product of subgroups H and K) is a group For any subgroup K of G, HK=KH, i.e., H and K are permuting subgroups. For every gG, H permutes with the cyclic subgroup generated by g. In symbols, for every hH and gG, there exists h1H and an integer n such that hg = gnh1. We say that G=AB is the mutually permutable product of the subgroups A and B if A permutes with every subgroup of B and B permutes with every subgroup of A. We say that the product is totally permutable if every subgroup of A permutes with every subgroup of B. In this paper we prove the following theorem. Let G=AB be the mutually permutable product of the super soluble subgroups A and B. If Core G (A∩B)=1, then G is super soluble.

The task of ensuring the reliable operation of existing buildings is an urgent problem in modern geotechnical construction. As a rule, the foundations of any building and structure, due to their operation in difficult conditions, are subject to groundwater, freezing and thawing, and other negative impacts. In order to reduce the negative impacts on them, as a rule, the working design provides for horizontal and vertical waterproofing. After the expiration of time, these elements often fail, partially or completely stopping the originally set parameters to prevent soaking of the foundations. This is especially true for cultural heritage sites (CHOs), because the requirements for trouble-free operation are increased. The article is a review and it considers one of the cases of technical inspection of the foundations of the building of the Chuvash Drama Theater.

Concentrations of nine polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were assessed in sediments and water in the Bodo River area, Gokana Local Government of River state Nigeria to assess the risk associated within the region due to the effect of oil spillage and marine pollution. The analytical procedure involved the application of Gas Chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS) for identification and quantification of and polychlorinated biphenyls respectively with high degree of accuracy and precision after triplicate analysis. All the selected PCB congeners analyzed were detected in the analyzed samples at different frequencies. The total concentrations of PCBs ranged from nd (not detected) to 4.15 mg/kg in sample A with an average concentration of 1.66 mg/kg, nd to 8.4 mg/kg in sample B with an average concentration of 3.25 mg/kg and nd to 7.30 mg/kg in sample C with an average concentration of 3.64 mg/kg in sediments. While the total concentrations of PCBs in the water sample ranged from nd (not detected) to 1.25 mg/kg in sample A with an average concentration of 0.56 mg/kg, nd to 4.50 mg/kg in sample B with an average concentration of 1.20 mg/kg and nd to 2.2 mg/kg in sample C with an average concentration of 0.88 mg/kg. Health risk assessment employed in this study includes the chronic daily intake and the carcinogenic risk via ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact using established guidelines. The total concentrations of PCBs were used to assess the cancer risk probabilities in humans via ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation of sediments particles. Very low cancer risk was found in all water samples compared to sediments samples caused by ƩPCBs. The results of the ecological risk assessment of PCBs in the Bodo River demonstrated the presence of PCBs in all sampling sites showing that the sites were highly contaminated with largely negative biological effects and a high potential risk to the environment.

Application of numerous quantum concepts and principles of the well-developed theories of rate coefficients in the velocity of chemical reactions, including quantum tunneling and various equilibriums, to the development of nanotechnology beyond nanometer‐accuracy in distance measurements at the single molecule level extends the analysis of results from distance measurements to time scale analysis that with combination of spectrometry and spectroscopy extends the knowledge of percentage distribution of elements that are heavier thaniron in the birth of super-novae and are too heavy to be produced by stellar fusion in comparison to lighter elements, like oxygen, carbon, or helium to time scale investigation of chemical reactions in neutron stars and supernovae to imply Rayleigh-Taylor and RichtmyerMeshkov instabilities, and break of spherical symmetry, consequently indicating concentration of pressures and energies in small regions. In combination with Kolmogorov’s turbulence 5/3 time-scale law and loophole free Bell tests that can result in thousands times difference could be applied to time differences evaluation. Further application of these and similar theoretical approaches can extend research to nano-level investigations of the multitude of polymers’ shapes and could be further applied to DNA and RNA analysis.

Published: September 2023

Aim. Analysis of physiological and biochemical characteristics of genetically modified wheat with partially suppressed activity of the proline dehydrogenase gene. Methods. Determination of proline dehydrogenase (PDH) activity, free L-proline (Pro); carbohydrate content (sucrose and fructose). Results. It was established that under conditions of water deficit in genetically modified wheat plants with integrated elements forming the double-stranded RNA suppressor of the pdh gene, there is a partial inhibition of the enzyme activity and an increase in the content of free proline. Changes in carbohydrate metabolism under water deficit stress and in the first hours after rehydration were noted, while the sucrose / fructose ratio in control plants significantly decreases during dehydration and normalizes when water supply is restored, in genetically modified plants this indicator almost does not change under short-term water deficit stress. Conclusions. Partial suppression of the proline dehydrogenase gene leads to an increase in the free proline content, the fluctuations of which contribute to the maintenance of carbohydrate balance.

Authors: Tymchuk D. S.
Published: September 2023

Aim. The influence of corn shrunken-1 (sh1) mutation on the content of palmitate in corn oil establishing and genetic analysis of this trait. Methods. The effects of the sh1 mutation on the content of palmitate were determined by comparing the inbreds – carriers of this mutation with inbreds of the common type, as well as in the top-crosses of common type inbreds with the mutant inbreds. The genetic components of the variance in terms of the content of palmitate were analyzed in the diallel crosses of mutant inbreds according to the second Griffing method. The determination of oil fatty acid composition was carried out by the Peisker gas chromatographic method. Results. It has been established that the corn inbreds – carriers of sh1 mutation exceed the common type inbreds by an average of 29.2 % in terms of palmitate content. The level of the trait in the inbreds based on the sh1 mutation was notable as having the quantitative variability and varied within 12.2-15.6 %. The content of palmitate in the carriers of sh1 mutation was inherited as incomplete dominance with a predominant contribution of additive effects to the variance. A higher level of the trait was controlled by recessive alleles of polygenes. Conclusions. The obtained results suggests the possibility of spatial linkage of the sh1 mutant gene with palmitate-coding locus, the effect of which is modified by the polygenic complex. It has been confirmed, that the carriers of sh1 mutation expands the genetic diversity of corn in terms of palmitate content.

Published: September 2023

Aim. Drought is one of the most harmful abiotic stresses limiting crop productivity. We study the ability of photosynthetic apparatus of winter wheat varieties differing in their tolerance to acclimate to moderate drought stress under pot experiment. Methods. Dynamics of relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content, CO2 assimilation rate (Pn), activity of antioxidant enzymes in chloroplasts of flag leaf of drought-tolerant variety Yednist and less drought-tolerant varieties Podilska Nyva and Darunok Podillia during weeklong moderate drought at flowering and one week after resumption of optimal watering were studied. Results. RWC and chlorophyll content gradually decreased from the onset to the end of drought period. In contrast, Pn inhibition was notably stronger at the onset than at the end of the drought period in Yednist and Podilska Nyva cultivars and remained the same in Darunok Podillia cultivar. On the 7th day of post-drought period, Pn in treated plants of all varieties was restored to the control level despite significantly lower chlorophyll content. Conclusions. Photosynthetic apparatus of more tolerant variety has a greater ability to acclimate to prolonged moderate drought which was related to higher activity of antioxidant enzymes and resulted in less grain yield losses.

Aim. The Colorado potato beetle population is characterized by a high degree of polymorphism. This provides a high level of adaptability to the most diverse distribution conditions. The aim is to the study of the variability of the pattern of Leptinotarsa decemlineata pronotum in June 2021 and June 2022. Methods. The analysis of the phenotypic variability of L. decemlineata population of Kamianka-Buzka city based on studying the presence or absence of certain phens, their number and placement according to Tauer method. Results. 22 variations of phens belonging to A, B, C, D, E, G, K, L, M, P groups were found. The dominant were phens of A, B, C, D, E, F groups. The most variable were the phens of A and E groups. The phenotypic structure of the colorado beetle population was determined according to Kohmaniuk’s classification. It was found that the dominant morphs in 2021 and 2022 were U (42 % and 27 %), UP (13 % and 18 %) and V (23 % and 21 %), respectively. Conclusions. The analysis of the frequency of phenoforms according to the Fasulati method showed that in the population of 2021 and 2022, phenoforms 3, 6 and 9 were dominant. They form the basis of the population and ensure the resistance of the population to the insecticides. The study of the intrapopulation diversity indicates an unbalanced population structure of L. decemlineata.

Le système de réparation de la Cour pénale internationale : une chimère !
Authors: Oloudé Olouwafêmi Rodrigue
Published: September 2023

L’adoption du Statut de Rome a été propice à la reconnaissance d’un droit à réparation, au profit des victimes de crimes internationaux, devant la Cour pénale internationale. Il s’agit, à première vue, d’une salvatrice innovation pour toutes les personnes victimes de crimes de masse. À l’aune de l’article 75 paragraphe 2 du Statut, « [l]a Cour peut rendre contre une personne condamnée une ordonnance indiquant la réparation qu’il convient aux victimes ou à leurs ayants droits ». Cependant, la plupart des auteurs de crimes internationaux échappent à une poursuite de la Cour pénale internationale, en raison de considérations d’ordre politique et de la politique de sélection et de hiérarchisation des affaires du bureau du Procureur. De plus, dans les quelques cas où les auteurs sont effectivement poursuivis et condamnés, les ressources matérielles et financières font défaut pour la mise en oeuvre de l’ordonnance de réparation. Tout bien considéré, le système de réparation de la Cour pénale internationale se révèle chimérique et le droit des victimes à réparation illusoire.
From the Studio to the Stage: Bruno Mars, Liveness, and the Out-of-Tune Voice in “Locked Out of Heaven” (2012)
Authors: Stévance Sophie , Lacasse Serge , Brachet Marion
Published: September 2023

Bruno Mars excels in his live performances. However, the studio version of the song “Locked Out of Heaven,” from his Unorthodox Jukebox album (2012), is distinctly different from his live performances of the piece in its pitch accuracy. How can we address this contrast, beyond the possibilities of negligence, accidents, or even conscious choices? The answer might reside in an analogy between the inaccurate pitch of the studio song and the video clip, where the director, Cameron Duddy, imitates the deficiencies of a VHS cassette, at the same time utilizing the spontaneity of Mars’s live band. According to Sanden, the removal of human imperfections can often make a performance seem less live. After analyzing the live and recorded vocal performances (with the help of re-mediatized performances we found on the internet), Duddy’s video clip, as well as the critical discourse on liveness in popular music, we argue that such a song re-establishes the power balance between the “final” version of the album and the one presented by pop artists on stage: Bruno Mars offers a new take on the consequences of discomorphosis, thanks to a surprisingly parsimonious use of pitch-correction technology within a meticulously produced pop song.

La musique instrumentale, plus précisément celle destinée à l’enregistrement et secondée par un travail de composition, est au coeur de la présente étude en regard de l’importance qu’elle a acquise dans l’industrie de la musique québécoise depuis la décennie 2010. Des noms comme ceux de Jean-Michel Blais, Martin Lizotte, Marc-André Pépin et Alexandra Stréliski sont au coeur de la popularité qu’a connue le phénomène, bien qu’il suscite autant des réactions positives que négatives eu égard à son appellation et des croisements entre univers classique et populaire. En ce sens, la présente étude délimite un corpus et en propose une analyse tout en faisant ressortir les tendances majeures de cette musique et les défis que sa circulation a rencontrés au sein de l’espace médiatique du Québec.
The Shortest Distance Between Gamelan and Electronics: Creating a “nexus of understanding” at Martin Bartlett’s Summer Intensives (Vancouver, 1986–1992)
Authors: Bellemare Laurent
Published: September 2023

During Expo 86, composer Martin Bartlett showcased his commitment to having Javanese music settle in Vancouver. By organizing a month-length workshop on Indonesian performing arts, he secured the Indonesian Embassy’s gift of a full Javanese gamelan to Simon Fraser University. The success of this first workshop encouraged Bartlett to repeat the experience for several years. In the summer of 1988, the event took an unexpected turn by concurrently featuring gamelan and electronic music workshops side by side. Dubbed “Dance and Music of Two Worlds,” it provided a unique place of encounter in which Javanese music traditions coexisted with electronic arts. Although the two hardly intermingled, the 1980s and 1990s saw many interdisciplinary productions mixing gamelan and electronics emerge from participating students. At the time, this relatively unexplored encounter between sound worlds put a stamp on the regional identity of the Vancouver gamelan scene, one still echoing today.

PURPOSE: The global COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted multiple sectors across industries and regions, including medical services, financial institutions, and others. The escalating global pandemic in both emerging and developed nations has resulted in the implementation of stringent lockdown measures and unparalleled disruptions to economic activities. Consequently, individuals have become accustomed to relying on banking operations as a routine aspect of their lives, regardless of the circumstances. Learning how bankers engage with customers in response to the given circumstances would be intriguing. Hence, the study aimed to unearth the relationship between bankers’ job stress, job performance, and job commitment, as well as the stress-based job performance and its impact on job commitment during the second to third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in an emerging market. METHODOLOGY: A number of 287 data (response rate 71.75 percent) were collected by online platforms due to the COVID-19 pandemic through the simple random sampling technique. The exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling were run to test the proposed research framework with the help of MS Excel 2007, SPSS 22.0, and AMOS 23.0. FINDINGS: The findings showed that bankers’ work-related stress has a positive impact on job performance but no relationship with job commitment; acute stress has a negative impact on job commitment but no significant relationship with job performance; and stress-based job performance has a significant positive impact on job commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. IMPLICATIONS: The outcomes of this study provide value to the field of behavioral science by introducing the phenomena of COVID-19 in the context of bankers and emerging economies. The demographic variables and the revealed relationships of bankers’ job stress, job performance, and job commitment trajectories would help policymakers rethink stress management practices and policy building in the bank job and the long-term relationship building with their existing employees. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: The novelty of the research is the COVID-19 phenomenon and an emerging economy’s bankers’ context.

Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables the establishment of shared keys between two distant users, Alice and Bob, based on the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, and it has proven to possess information-theoretic security. In most of QKD systems, Alice and Bob require a shared reference frame, and real-time calibration of the reference frame increases system costs and reduces its performance. Fortunately, the reference-frame-independent QKD protocol has been proposed, overcoming reference-frame drift issues and receiving widespread attention. However, in practical QKD systems, the non-ideal characteristics of realistic devices introduce certain inconsistency between the theory and the practice. In real-world quantum key distribution systems, device imperfections can lead to security vulnerabilities, thereby reducing system security. For example, imperfections in the encoding apparatus at the source end may result in errors in the quantum states. The inherent defects in the detection part may cause after-pulse effects and dead-time effects, thus reducing the key rate. Therefore, in this work, we propose a practical state-preparation error tolerant reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution protocol by taking imperfections in both the source and the detectors into account. Moreover, a three-intensity decoy-state scheme for modeling analysis and numerical simulations is employed. In this protocol, we reduce the influence of state-preparation errors on the key rate by utilizing virtual state methods to precisely estimate the phase-error rate. Furthermore, by characterizing the effects of after-pulses and dead-time on the key rate, our protocol exhibits higher robustness and can effectively address issues related to detector imperfections. This approach can also be extended to other quantum key distribution protocols with higher security levels, such as measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution protocol and twin-field quantum key distribution, further mitigating the influence of device imperfections on practical implementation of QKD system. Therefore, our present work provide important reference value for putting the quantum key distributions into practical application.
Allosteric regulation of kinase activity in living cells

Published: September 2023

The dysregulation of protein kinases is associated with multiple diseases due to the kinases’ involvement in a variety of cell signaling pathways. Manipulating protein kinase function, by controlling the active site, is a promising therapeutic and investigative strategy to mitigate and study diseases. Kinase active sites share structural similarities making it difficult to specifically target one kinase, allosteric control allows specific regulation and study of kinase function without directly targeting the active site. Allosteric sites are distal to the active site but coupled via a dynamic network of inter-atomic interactions between residues in the protein. Establishing an allosteric control over a kinase requires understanding the allosteric wiring of the protein. Computational techniques offer effective and inexpensive mapping of the allosteric sites on a protein. Here, we discuss methods to map and regulate allosteric communications in proteins, and strategies to establish control over kinase functions in live cells and organisms. Protein molecules, or “sensors” are engineered to function as tools to control allosteric activity of the protein as these sensors have high spatiotemporal resolution and help in understanding cell phenotypes after immediate activation or inactivation of a kinase. Traditional methods used to study protein functions, such as knockout, knockdown, or mutation, cannot offer a sufficiently high spatiotemporal resolution. We discuss the modern repertoire of tools to regulate protein kinases as we enter a new era in deciphering cellular signaling and developing novel approaches to treat diseases associated with signal dysregulation.
When wood cladding degenerates
Authors: Brun Géraldine
Published: September 2023

For several decades, the mechanisms of decay of wood exposed outdoor have been scrutinized in order to ameliorate the performances of this versatile material when used for purposes such as house cladding. Performance of cladding seems to be highly depending on durability of wood, in its turn directly connected to water uptake which can vary a lot. How long a cladding can function for is particularly complicated to define also because of its paradoxical role of sacrificial and aesthetic layer. Anyhow, thanks to small reparations and maintenance, many traditional claddings are still preserved. They have been produced and maintained with local resources and show that low-processed wood can be durable in outdoor conditions. The contrast with modern approaches such as wood modification or importation of durable species, lifts the question: what durability of wood is concretely required for cladding purposes? The exhibition shows characteristics of wood weathered for up to hundreds of years, allowing to understand what impact damages can have on cladding’s performance. The samples, issued from traditional French and Scandinavian facades, illustrate how exposure level influences degradation, confirming the role of rot and revealing the one of erosion in degeneration of wood cladding. Both Alder and Pine seem to have the potential to naturally perform well as cladding for longer than it takes for the trees to regenerate. Traditions might teach us how to use local wood in a durable way if we consider biodegradation as an opportunity to build without creating wastes, rather than as a threat.
Change and Transformation of Functions in Turkey’s Felt Objects
Authors: Tarcan Berilsu
Published: September 2023

This study analyses felt and the practice of felting from the geography of Turkey, as a way to explore felt’s function in material culture. Felting is a method of craft making that consists of compressing fibres (wool or other). Felt, (in Turkish “keçe”) can be defined as the outcome product of felting process. However, keçe represents more than just a cloth or a textile. It was an important part of daily life in the geography of Turkey, for instance among nomads who produced their daily necessities from felt. For the study, first, I introduce some felt products from Turkey. Afterwards, I share the processes and results of a field study, through observations and interviews conducted with feltmakers in Tire region in Turkey. Then I share an analysis and results from the product research and field study. Nowadays felt is found through another range of accessories and artistic works, such as decorational products, hair bands, slippers, vase, tumbler, hats. While felt was commonly used for important functions such as carrying, moving; today, other materials are used for these functions. Therefore, felt objects can be perceived and bought as accessories rather than necessities in modern culture.  Nevertheless, felt is still used for the representation of identities. Although felt is considered to have lost its value, for the context of Turkey, I argue that the functions have shifted to new contexts. Through different functionalities such as being tools for self-expressions/communication, felt has a similar value in the current culture.
Combining passive acoustic data from a towed hydrophone array with visual line transect data to estimate abundance and availability bias of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)

Visual line transect (VLT) surveys are central to the monitoring and study of marine mammals. However, for cryptic species such as deep diving cetaceans VLT surveys alone suffer from problems of low sample sizes and availability bias where animals below the surface are not available to be detected. The advent of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) technology offers important opportunities to observe deep diving cetaceans but statistical challenges remain particularly when trying to integrate VLT and PAM data. Herein, we present a general framework to combine these data streams to estimate abundance when both surveys are conducted simultaneously. Secondarily, our approach can also be used to derive an estimate of availability bias. We outline three methods that vary in complexity and data requirements which are (1) a simple distance sampling (DS) method that treats the two datasets independently (DS-DS Method), (2) a fully integrated approach that applies a capture-mark recapture (CMR) analysis to the PAM data (CMR-DS Method) and (3) a hybrid approach that requires only a subset of the PAM CMR data (Hybrid Method). To evaluate their performance, we use simulations based on known diving and vocalizing behavior of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). As a case study, we applied theHybrid Methodto data from a shipboard survey of sperm whales and compared estimates to a VLT only analysis. Simulation results demonstrated that theCMR-DS MethodandHybrid Methodreduced bias by >90% for both abundance and availability bias in comparison to the simplerDS -DS Method. Overall, theCMR-DS Methodwas the least biased and most precise. For the case study, our application of theHybrid Methodto the sperm whale dataset produced estimates of abundance and availability bias that were comparable to estimates from the VLT only analysis but with considerably higher precision. Integrating multiple sources of data is an important goal with clear benefits. As a step towards that goal we have developed a novel framework. Results from this study are promising although challenges still remain. Future work may focus on applying this method to other deep-diving species and comparing the proposed method to other statistical approaches that aim to combine information from multiple data sources.
Fishery catch is affected by geographic expansion, fishing down food webs and climate change in Aotearoa, New Zealand

Historical fishing effort has resulted, in many parts of the ocean, in increasing catches of smaller, lower trophic level species once larger higher trophic level species have been depleted. Concurrently, changes in the geographic distribution of marine species have been observed as species track their thermal affinity in line with ocean warming. However, geographic shifts in fisheries, including to deeper waters, may conceal the phenomenon of fishing down the food web and effects of climate warming on fish stocks. Fisheries-catch weighted metrics such as the Mean Trophic Level (MTL) and Mean Temperature of the Catch (MTC) are used to investigate these phenomena, although apparent trends of these metrics can be masked by the aforementioned geographic expansion and deepening of fisheries catch across large areas and time periods. We investigated instances of both fishing down trophic levels and climate-driven changes in the geographic distribution of fished species in New Zealand waters from 1950–2019, using the MTL and MTC. Thereafter, we corrected for the masking effect of the geographic expansion of fisheries within these indices by using the Fishing-in-Balance (FiB) index and the adapted Mean Trophic Level (aMTL) index. Our results document the offshore expansion of fisheries across the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) from 1950–2019, as well as the pervasiveness of fishing down within nearshore fishing stock assemblages. We also revealed the warming of the MTC for pelagic-associated fisheries, trends that were otherwise masked by the depth- and geographic expansion of New Zealand fisheries across the study period.
