Limitations to learning and participation using the Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process (NAHP) by Marianela Silva Sánchez, María Mederos-Machado, Maya Jara-Sen San, Adrián García-Perdigon

“…Assessing its relevance supports future policy implications and assessments because it increases awareness of communities not easily accessible and struggles with diversity and uncertain patterned systems. Despite the changes made to education over the years, new assessments still take a common weighted average without employing tools to understand the uncertainty surrounding human viewpoints regarding obstacles to learning. …”

Initial coral assemblage drives benthic community response to different disturbance type events. by Ahmyia J Cacapit, Anela K Akiona, Esmeralda A Alcantar, Alex Araújo, Isa Bersamin, Ninoshka Betancourt, Daeyla' Boyd, Bostony Braoudakis, Zachary Capilitan, Angelica Dimas, Theresa Duncan, Clinton B Edwards, Audrey Ellias, Beverly J French, Nahir Guadaloupe, Charles Hambley, Maxine Hauser, Nikki Jackson, Phi Lang, Mary Liesegang, Orion McCarthy, Nicole Pedersen, Elena Pilch, Samantha Scheibler, Rex Shettlesworth, Jackson Shoultz, Blake Stoner-Osborne, Brian J Zgliczynski, Stuart A Sandin

“…A reef's response to these disturbances can be influenced by factors including taxonomic composition, life history strategies, or spatial patterning of the reef community members. We explored the disturbance-specific responses of coral reefs by following changes in benthic cover of major functional groups, community assemblage, and the response of common coral taxa at six islands across the central Pacific over the course of two years. …”
