Five shades of gray: Conceptual and methodological issues around multivariate models of performance validity
Authors: Erdodi Laszlo A.
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to empirically investigate the signal detection profile of various multivariate models of performance validity tests (MV-PVTs) and explore several contested assumptions underlying validity assessment in general and MV-PVTs specifically. METHOD: Archival data were collected from 167 patients (52.4%male; MAge = 39.7) clinicially evaluated subsequent to a TBI. Performance validity was psychometrically defined using two free-standing PVTs and five composite measures, each based on five embedded PVTs. RESULTS: MV-PVTs had superior classification accuracy compared to univariate cutoffs. The similarity between predictor and criterion PVTs influenced signal detection profiles. False positive rates (FPR) in MV-PVTs can be effectively controlled using more stringent multivariate cutoffs. In addition to Pass and Fail, Borderline is a legitimate third outcome of performance validity assessment. Failing memory-based PVTs was associated with elevated self-reported psychiatric symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Concerns about elevated FPR in MV-PVTs are unsubstantiated. In fact, MV-PVTs are psychometrically superior to individual components. Instrumentation artifacts are endemic to PVTs, and represent both a threat and an opportunity during the interpretation of a given neurocognitive profile. There is no such thing as too much information in performance validity assessment. Psychometric issues should be evaluated based on empirical, not theoretical models. As the number/severity of embedded PVT failures accumulates, assessors must consider the possibility of non-credible presentation and its clinical implications to neurorehabilitation.

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: An early approach to cognitive rehabilitation therapy (CRT) was developed based on A. R. Luria’s theory of brain function. Expanding upon this approach, the Integrative Cognitive Rehabilitation Psychotherapy model (ICRP) was advanced. OBJECTIVE: To describe the ICRP approach to treatment of clients post brain injury and provide a comprehensive list of evaluation tools to determine the client’s abilities and needs. Finally, to provide a link between CRT and functional imaging studies designed to improve rehabilitation efforts. METHODS: History of cognitive rehabilitation and neuropsychological testing is reviewed and description of cognitive, academic, psychiatric, and substance abuse tools are provided. Cognitive and emotional treatment techniques are fully described. Additionally, a method of determining the client’s stage of recovery and pertinent functional imaging studies is detailed. RESULTS: Authors have been able to provide a set of tools and techniques to use in comprehensive treatment of clients with brain injury. CONCLUSIONS: Inclusive treatment which is outlined in the ICRP model is optimal for the client’s recovery and return to a full and satisfying life post brain injury. The model provides a framework for neuropsychologists to integrate issues that tend to co-occur in clients living with brain injury into a unified treatment plan.

Pneumonia cases of unknown etiology in Wuhan, Hubei province, China were reported to the World Health Organization on 31st of December 2019. Later the pathogen was reported to be a novel coronavirus designated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The disease outspread was followed by WHO declaration of COVID-19 pandemic as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”. SARS-CoV-2 is a novel pathogenic beta coronavirus that infects humans causing severe respiratory illness. However, multifarious factors can contribute to the susceptibility to COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality such as age, gender, and underlying comorbidities. Infection initiates when viral particles bind to the host cell surface receptors where SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein subunit 1 binds to the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2). It is of importance to mention that SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses’ mediate entry into the host cells via ACE2 receptor which might be correlated with the structural similarity of spike glycoprotein subunit 1 of both SARS viruses. However, the structural binding differs, whereas ACE2 receptor binding affinity with SARS-CoV-2 is 4 folds higher than that with SARS-CoV. Moreover, amino acids sequence divergence between the two S glycoproteins might be responsible for differential modulations of the specific immune response to both viruses. Identification of different aspects such as binding affinity, differential antigenic profiles of S-glycoproteins, and ACE2 mutations might influence the investigation of potential therapeutic strategies targeting SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 binding interface. In this review, we aim to elaborate on the expression of hACE2 receptor protein and its binding with SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit, the possible immunogenic sequences of spike protein, effect of ACE 2 polymorphism on viral binding, and infectivity/susceptibility to disease. Furthermore, targeting of hACE2 receptor binding with SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit via various mechanisms will be discussed to understand its role in therapeutics.
Improving the test methodology of design piles on a construction site
Authors: Boyko Igor , Dyptan Tetiana
Published: August 2021

Reliable solutions for the design of tall buildings with pile foundations depend on the correctness of the load-bearing capacity. In some cases, you need to know that it is impossible to determine the ability on the side surface and under the sole. To do this, it is proposed to develop a special technique that combines tests to remove and pull out and educate the nature of the downloads (static or  kinematic).Тhe publication proposes a method of testing piles in the field, which simulates the processes that accompany the interaction of the pile with the soil base in real situations of operation of the technical object: for example, emergency soaking of soils when there is no time for stabilization deformations under load from a building or structure. It is shown that the value of friction on the side surface of the piles significantly depends on the nature of the loads. The analyzed results of the test schedule allow to separate these two components in the case when unloading is carried out continuously and the beginning of the pile movement in the opposite direction gives the value of soil resistance on the side floor. This simulates the real behavior of the pile at the base of the building, because in real objects there is no time for stabilization.It is offered to carry out tests of piles before loading which causes continuous indentation of piles, and division into components - bearing capacity on lateral surface Fdf and bearing capacity under the sole of the pile FdR will allow to accumulate the calculated soil supports in the respective zones, which makes it possible to create tables «R» and «f» for soil conditions of Ukraine.Taking into account the peculiarities of the construction of the pile test schedule and the proposed approaches will allow to correctly determine the components used in determining the bearing capacity of the pile. The accumulation of test results in the future will clarify the calculated soil supports of Ukraine. Reliable values of the calculated resistances will reduce the amount of static tests, which are time consuming and expensive.
INFLUENCE OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES AS MEGA-EVENT ON URBANIZATION PROCESSES IN THE CITY AND THE REGION
Authors: Kovpak Volodymyr
Published: August 2021

In recent decades, the Olympic Games have become one of the most important mega-events in the world. The large number of cities applying for the Olympics and the increase in mega-event budgets indicate that the leadership of cities and regions perceive the possibility of holding the Olympics as a tool to improve economic and social aspects in cities by accumulating investment.

Since its inception, the Olympic Games have closely influenced urbanization processes in host societies. From the second half of the 20th century, a significant evolution can be observed via increasing the scale of the mega-event: from the Olympic mono-stadium to the Olympic quarter, urban and regional planning. Thus, the Olympics began to provide investment not only in sports infrastructure but also in becoming an element of urban and regional renewal and development, introducing changes in transport infrastructure, housing, parks, streets, public space.

From the point of view of urban and regional planning, the holding of such a mega-event as the Olympics is considered within the concept of the Olympic heritage; namely, researchers study the material impact of mega-events. The tangible Olympic legacy is divided into sports and non-sports. The sports heritage of mega-events includes sports facilities, as well as training facilities. The non-sporting heritage of the mega-event includes the Olympic Villages (after the mega-event, the Olympic Village usually becomes the city's housing stock), the media center (which has the potential to become a shopping, entertainment, exhibition, or multicenter), renewed transport infrastructure and public and park spaces, urban environment.

Especially for cities hosting a mega-event, the benefits of hosting the Olympics can be vast and varied. In the post-Fordism world, cities began to consider the possibility of holding the Olympics as a tool for the revival of the city. Such applications can be called "regeneration games". The Olympic Games can be part of a strategic plan to renovate the city, significantly change the urban environment, improve transport infrastructure, and affect the quality of life in the city. However, the mega-event can have a negative impact on the city, forming an overuse of funds or the implementation of unnecessary infrastructure of the city, which declines after the Olympics.
CHINA’S TRADITIONAL HOUSING TYPES: EVOLUTION AND DIVERSITY
Authors: Kuzmenko Tеtiana , Dmytrenko Andrii
Published: August 2021

The article examines the evolution and diversity of traditional Chinese dwellings, Which are due to the multinational composition of the population and the natural conditions of different parts of the country.

The syncretism characteristic of China also had a great influence on the formation of the dwelling. Confucianism formed the forms of family structure and norms of behavior, and Taoist principles and Buddhist rules – interaction with the world.

The most common type of dwelling is the siheyuan, which is based on Chinese tradition and philosophy. This term is the key to creating an ensemble, regardless of the hierarchy and location of the settlement. The country has a very large variety of landscape and climatic territories, a rich historical heritage, a huge number of nationalities, which in interrelation have formed an equally rich historical typology of residential buildings. However, China has its own special differences that played a crucial role shaping the typology of housing. These are, first of all, inviolable forms of family structure and norms of behavior based on centuries-old dogmas of Confucianism, developed by the Taoist principles of interaction with the Buddhist worldview.

In general, in different regions of China there were various modifications of the traditional type of house Siheyuan, which is certainly due to the peculiarities of climatic, economic and social conditions. The peculiarities of Chinese architecture have made the concept of siheyuan key in creating any ensemble in settlement. All buildings are subject to the rules of siheyuan (si – the four corners of the world, he – the environment, yuan – the garden, in this case, the garden with the yard). Its essence is that any complex is created around the yard, if there are several, then the main yard.

All buildings are strictly symmetrical along the longitudinal axis.
CALCULATION OF CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS OF HEAT ACCUMULATORS WITH LIQUID AND SOLID HEAT-ACCUMULATING MATERIAL
Authors: Chоvniuk Yuriy , Cherednichenko Petro , Moskvitina Anna , Shyshyna Maria
Published: August 2021

The depletion of traditional fuel resources and the deterioration of the ecology of the environment, an increase in emissions into the air make the research on renewable energy and the need to attract clean energy sources to the energy balance of Ukraine. A promising direction is the use of solar energy for municipal heat supply, which can provide large heat needs even in temperate climates. Basically, the methods of using thermal energy from the sun are generally economically effective, but the share of using thermal solar energy is quite small. It can also be solved by accumulating these surpluses and using them during the heating season. The experience of operating unorganized seasonal heat accumulators in the soil indicates the low efficiency of such heat storage due to significant heat losses into the surrounding soil mass. For such systems (solar collectors + seasonal heat accumulator), it is advisable to use organized seasonal heat accumulators, which are designed for a certain amount of heat. An organized seasonal heat accumulator is understood as a heat storage system, which consists of a heat insulated tank for storing heat storage material and a heat carrier, which is used to transport heat to the heat storage material during its accumulation during the warm period and heat supply in the cold season from the heat storage material to energy consuming systems (heating system, hot water supply, etc.). The design of a heat accumulator with solid and liquid heat accumulating material is considered, in which a more uniform distribution of temperatures in the volume of the heat accumulator is achieved. A method for calculating structural elements for a heat accumulator with liquid and solid heat accumulating material has been developed, taking into account the heat loss of the heat accumulator and the characteristics of the soils at the construction site.

Authors: Kramskyі Sergiy
Published: August 2021

In the article, the author examines the problematic aspects of project management, the study is devoted to the development of a method for distributing research projects among teams of executors of scientific projects in private higher educational institutions, which takes into account the specifics of staffing the project and the specifics of distributing the workload among scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers of educational institutions. The proposed method is necessary for the management of a hanging educational institution for a qualitative assessment and making rational management decisions at the stage of appointing a leader and a team of executors of scientific projects, determining the resource base and limitations in this particular scientific project. A method for assessing the scientific potential of scientific and pedagogical departments of private educational institutions has been developed, which, in addition to the intellectual component, takes into account the peculiarities of comprehensive support for the implementation of scientific projects. It is possible to assess both the static and the dynamic component of the scientific potential, as an indicator of the sustainability and development of a private higher educational institution, taking into account the personal achievements of scientific and pedagogical workers. As an additional motivational tool, a method for distributing the bonus fund based on the results of the implementation of a scientific project has been developed, which makes it possible to take into account the personal contribution of the project performers. So, the incentive mechanism under the conditions of specific restrictions makes it possible to improve the bonus system, differentiate the scientific personnel of the educational institution, determine the level of professionalism of each executor of scientific projects using the project management methodology. Thus, a promising model for the management of scientific projects in private higher educational institutions has been developed as a part of the system for managing scientific projects. The content of the components of this model, in contrast to the existing ones, have been optimized taking into account the experience of project-oriented management.
Exploring Instances of Feminism Movement in a Reggaeton Song: A Multi-Semiotic Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Mosqueda Ramírez María José
Published: August 2021

This study analyses the instances of feminism in a reggaeton song consulting a Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA). It interprets these instances and provides a description to what they intend to present from a feminist perspective. It also attempts to find out what are the visual semiotic choices that the song presents to the audience such as the attributes, settings and salience. Finally, it aimed to explore how these elements are represented in the video. To achieve the goal of the study, I created a table where I included the visual semiotic elements previously mentioned. This table presents the three scenes that were chosen to be analyzed from the video and the semiotics elements according to the MCDA by Machin and Mayr (2012). Regarding the results of the study, they show that the visuals of the video represent instances where women have the power to stop men from abusing them. Even when the visuals show some fictional scenes, the interpretation is that women have the right and the power to make themselves be respected by men. In addition, the results showed as a reminder that there are movements which are there to help women in these injustices. Finally, in the last part of the song the final idea about the resistance of men violating women is represented as the final result of this study.

Des migrants et des revenants. Une histoire des réfugiées et réfugiés hongrois en Suisse (1956-1963)
Authors: Robert Tiphaine
Published: August 2021

Il n’a que 14 ans. En 1956, István Borsodi pense choisir la liberté en traversant le Rideau de fer. Il quitte une Hongrie morose – où la Révolution contre l’occupant soviétique a été écrasée – et rejoint la Suisse. István se souvient de son arrivée en terres helvétiques, des applaudissements, « des gens qui venaient nous saluer » dans chaque gare où le convoi spécial faisait halte. Il a conservé la première carte postale destinée à sa famille restée en Hongrie « Je suis à Bière, je me sens bien, j’embrasse tout le monde ». Mais, après quelques temps, le mal du pays, l’ennui des proches commencent à le ronger et ses perspectives professionnelles en Suisse sont moins attrayantes que ce qu’il imaginait. Sa tante restée au pays lui écrit que les jeunes rapatriés bénéficient d’une amnistie. En 1959, István Borsodi choisit alors de rentrer dans la Hongrie de János Kádár. Cet ouvrage retrace l’exode de quelque 200 000 Hongroises et Hongrois de 1956, l’arrivée d’une partie d’entre eux en Suisse, avant d’éclairer le parcours de celles et ceux qui ont décidé de rentrer en Hongrie quelques semaines, mois ou années après leur exil. Ce phénomène migratoire « à contre sens » est au coeur de ce livre. Arrivés dans le « paradis capitaliste » des Trente glorieuses, pourquoi ces personnes choisissent de rejoindre l’ « enfer » communiste ?
"Gendercide—Gender Divide": reflections on organising a conference... and then moving it online
Authors: Orrell Katya
Published: August 2021

This is a personal reflection on the experience of organising, postponing, and then reorganising an international conference online during a pandemic. It considers the very real elements of the external chaos, suffering, and confusion which were held in mind throughout the conference planning and delivery, as we also navigated different time zones and constantly changing advice regarding Covid-19. It is about how we transformed our initial feelings of frustration, disappointment, and loss into the drive to keep as much of our original plan alive, and, in the process, how the first IAFP conference with a large group and live simultaneous translation was created online.

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN METACOGNITION AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS SCIENCE OF SENIOR SECONDARY STUDENTS THROUGH A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING ANALYSIS
Authors: Jahangard Zeinab , Soltani Asghar , Alinejad Merhangiz
Published: August 2021

Attitudes towards science is an important construct of science learning which has been affected by many factors. The main purpose of this research was to investigate whether the metacognition strategies predict students’ attitudes towards science. Accordingly, a total of 347 senior secondary students were asked to complete a questionnaire about their metacognition strategies and attitudes towards science. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to evaluate the validity of a structural/latent variable model. Findings revealed several direct and indirect effects among the factors under investigation. Of special importance, metacognition strategies positively predicted attractiveness of science (science is fun), class/teacher activities and family model as variables of students’ attitudes towards science. Attractiveness of science was also found to have effects on the science anxiety and family model was found to have effects on class/teacher activities. One important finding was that metacognition strategies could decrease students’ science anxiety. According to this information, it is recommended that science educators encourage students to employ metacognition strategies in science that may lead to more positive students’ attitudes towards science. Key words: metacognition strategies, attitudes towards science, senior secondary students, structural equation modeling.
CONTEXT-BASED QUESTIONS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION: THEIR EFFECTS ON TEST ANXIETY AND SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT IN RELATION TO THE GENDER OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Kurbanoğlu Namudar İzzet , Koç Nefes Fatma
Published: August 2021

Context-based questions can be effective in reducing test anxiety and increasing science achievement. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of context-based questions on the test anxiety and science achievement of secondary school students enrolled in a science course, in relation to gender. Seventy students who were found to have high levels of test anxiety were selected from the 185 seventh-grade students at a public school in Turkey. The Revised Test Anxiety Scale (RTAS) was used to measure the students’ test anxiety. The scores the students obtained in three different examinations were considered as indicators of their academic achievement. The analysis results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the test anxiety and science achievement scores of the students who were given context-based questions and the corresponding scores of the students who were given conventional questions. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the main effect of gender and treatment and there was no gender interaction effect. These findings suggest that context-based questions can be considered as a better alternative to conventional questions for reducing students’ test anxiety and improving their science achievement. Key words: context-based questions, conventional questions, science achievement, secondary school students, test anxiety.

Published: August 2021

Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a newly recognized, very rare malignant tumor of nose and paranasal sinuses, which usually occurs in women. This tumor contains both neural and muscle tissue in the tumor tissue. It is an invasive disease occuring locally in the nasal cavity. However, if not found early, it can spread along the facial structure, for instance, the orbit, skull base, intracranium, and the oropharynx. This tumor is an uncommon disease that has not been reported in Korea to date. We report a case of a 35-year-old female recently diagnosed with BSNS with a review of the literature.

Published: August 2021

Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors are extremely rare, composing only 0.5% of all head and neck tumors. The PPS is shaped like an inverted pyramid bounded by the skull base superiorly and hyoid bone inferiorly. Recently, we experienced a 55-year-old female patient who visited the clinic with a presumed PPS tumor that had been incidentally identified by neck MRI. The patient underwent surgery for the removal of tumor by transoral approach following tonsillectomy. However, contrary to the initial expectations, no tumors were visible at the operative field and only observed were the evidence of chronic inflammatory tissues within the removed tonsil. To date, chronic follicular tonsillitis mimicking a PPS tumor has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, we report this case with a brief discussion of points to consider supported by a review of relevant literature.

Published: August 2021

This paper examines the nonlinear effect of monetary policy decisions on the performance of the Nigerian Stock Exchange market, by employing the Smooth Transition Autoregressive (STAR) model on monthly data from 2013 M4 to 2019 M12 for All Share Index and monetary policy instrument. This study considers the two regimes characterizing the stock market, which are the lower regime (the bear market) and the upper regime (the bull market). The results show evidence of nonlinear effect of monetary policy on the stock exchange market. Monetary policy rate, money supply, lagged monetary policy rate and lagged treasury bill rate are found to have significant positive effects on the stock exchange market in the lower regime while current treasury bill rate shows a negative effect. In the upper regime, money supply and lagged treasury bill rate have significant negative effect on the stock market. The current treasury bill rate is found to have a positive effect on the stock exchange market. It is recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria should maintain a stable money supply growth that is consistent with increased activities in the Nigerian stock market.
Analysing User Experience of Mobile Banking Applications in Nigeria: A Text Mining Approach
Authors: Omotosho Babatunde S.
Published: August 2021

This paper analyses textual data mined from 37,460 reviews written by mobile banking application users in Nigeria over the period November 2012 – July 2020. On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best), the average user rating for the twenty-two apps included in our sample is 3.5; with the apps deployed by non-interest banks having the highest average rating of 4.0 and those by commercial banks with national authorisation having the least rating of 3.4. Results from the sentiment analysis reveal that the share of positive sentiment words (17.8%) in the corpus more than double that of negative sentiment words (7.7%). Furthermore, we find that about 66 per cent of the emotions expressed by the users are associated with ‘trust’, ‘anticipation’, and ‘joy’ while the remaining 34 per cent relate to ‘surprise’, ‘fear’, ‘anger’, and ‘disgust’. These results imply that majority of the users are satisfied with their mobile banking experience. Finally, we find that the main topics contained in the user reviews pertain to (i) feedback on banks’ responsiveness to user complaints (ii) user experience regarding app functionalities and updates, and (iii) operational failures associated with the use of the apps. These results highlight the need for banks to continue to promote awareness of existing functionalities on their apps, educate users on how those solutions could be accessed, and respond to user feedback in a timely and effective manner.
Impact of Government Expenditure on Economic Growth in Nigeria, 1970-2019
Authors: Aluthge Chandana , Jibir Adamu , Abdu Musa
Published: August 2021

This study investigates the impact of Nigerian government expenditure (disaggregated into capital and recurrent) on economic growth using time series data for the period 1970-2019. The paper employs Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. To ensure robustness of results, the study accounts for structural breaks in the unit root test and the co-integration analysis. The key findings of the study are that capital expenditure has positive and significant impact on economic growth both in the short run and long run while recurrent expenditure does not have significant impact on economic growth both in the short run and long run. The study recommends that government should increase the share of the capital expenditure especially on meaningful projects that have direct bearing on the citizen’s welfare. Government should also improve the spending patterns of recurrent expenditure through careful reallocation of resources toward productive activities that would enhance human development in the country.

Air Asam Tambang (AAT) merupakan sebuah permasalahan lingkungan sebagai salah satu akibat dari kegiatan penambangan yang mempunyai nilai pH dan kandungan logam terlarut yang relatif tinggi. Salah satu material yang dapat dimanfaatkan dalam mengatasi permasalahan AAT yaitu batugamping. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui karakteristik penetralan batugamping dalam menetralkan asam dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ukuran butir batugamping terhadap kapasitas penetralan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode pengujian Acid Buffering Characteristic Curve (ABCC). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sampel batugamping berukuran 0,074 mm (100 mesh) mampu mempertahankan pH atau menunjukkan sifat buffer-nya pada rentang pH 5 setelah terjadi penambahan asam sebanyak 8,4 Kg H2SO4/t. Sementara sampel batugamping berukuran 0,149 mm (200 mesh) mampu mempertahankan nilai pH pada rentang pH 6 atau menunjukkan sifat buffer-nya setelah terjadi penambanahan asam sebanyak 1,2 Kg H2SO4/t. Kemudian semakin kecil ukuran butir batugamping maka semakin tinggi nilai pH yang dapat dipertahankan dan semakin besar ukuran butir batugamping maka semakin rendah nilai pH yang dapat dipertahankan.

Population connectivity is an increasingly important focal area for the understanding of how marine fish populations respond to anthropogenic pressures like climate change and fisheries. Our model species, the saithe Pollachius virens (Linnaeus, 1758), was chosen because genetic analyses have documented a mismatch between the assessed stocks and the biological populations. We combined laboratory experiments of saithe egg buoyancy and temperature-�modulated development time, genetic field data, and high-resolution oceanographic models to disentangle the mechanisms causing isolation and mixing between the management units and the biological populations. Saithe egg buoyancy and development data were included in an individual-based model to simulate transport from all known spawning grounds in the Northeast Atlantic. The results show that interannual variability in the transport of early life stages is strongly influenced by wider climate systems (e.g. the North Atlantic Oscillation). One sample (Rockall) showed genetic differences from the other samples, and this finding was supported by the model showing low mixing with other populations and strong local retention. Strong retention of early life stages around Iceland could indicate an isolated population; however, this possible isolation is counteracted by active migration of adults westward from the Norwegian coast, and no genetic differentiation from other populations was found. Overall, the dispersal modeling supports the genetic analysis, showing a large and well-connected Central Northeast Atlantic population distributed across several management units. This mismatch between population structure and management units can potentially increase the risk for overexploitation of saithe.
Habitat specialisation and overlap in coral reef gobies of the genus Eviota (Teleostei: Gobiidae)
Authors: Doll PC , Munday PL , Bonin MC , Jones GP
Published: August 2021

On coral reefs, many small coral-associated fishes exhibit high levels of habitat specialisation, which can contribute to their susceptibility to habitat loss. However, high levels of habitat partitioning may buffer communities from the loss of particular habitat types. This study provides a quantitative evaluation of habitat specialisation, substratum selectivity and habitat overlap of 9 Eviota (Gobiidae) species in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea. All but 1 locally common Eviota species were strongly associated with scleractinian coral substrata, and species ranged from habitat generalists to obligate coral specialists with some of the most extreme fine-scale patterns of habitat specialisation known for coral reef fishes. Patterns of substratum selectivity varied greatly within the genus, but many species showed distinct preferences for particular corals, most notably the scleractinian genera Acropora and Porites. Most species exhibited low habitat overlap and partitioned habitat on a fine spatial scale, but there were notable exceptions. Two Acropora coral specialists and some species with strong preference for massive Porites coral exhibited high overlap. Overall, the local abundance of Eviota species varied in relation to the degree of habitat specialisation, with the most generalised species more abundant than the habitat specialists. Habitat structure and species-specific differences in habitat specialisation, substratum selectivity and habitat overlap are likely to be key drivers explaining the distribution and abundance of Eviota species and the local community structure. Most importantly, many coral-dependent and less abundant species of Eviota may be vulnerable to habitat loss as a result of the ongoing degradation of coral reefs.
