Movements of Channel Catfish and Flathead Catfish in Beaver Reservoir, Northwest Arkansas
A total of 497 channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, and flathead catfish, Pylodictis olivaris. were tagged in Beaver Reservoir during two November-April tagging periods (1967-68 and 1968-69); total recaptures were 9.5 and 11.7% respectively. The longest time between tagging and recapture was 1622 days (4.4 years) for channel catfish and 494 days (1.4 years) for flathead catfish. The longest distances traveled were 43.1 km by a channel catfish and 44.3 km by a flathead catfish. Fisherman returns indicated that catfish were caught primarily from April through July. The many recaptures, even after long periods, within 1.6 km of the tagging point, suggested that fish moved little, or had homing tendencies. Captures of fish in trap nets indicated that rainfall and inflow possibly stimulated movements of channel catfish during the winter and early spring

Renegotiating the European Union’s free movement and social security coordination policies: Britain’s approaches and interests
The EU’s freedom of movement has increasingly been brought into question in the last few years as member states have restricted social benefits for EU migrants. Britain proposed in-work benefit restrictions for economically active EU migrants in intergovernmental negotiations leading up to the referendum on its membership to the EU. Access to social benefits is an important component of free movement. It provides EU citizens with social rights in host member states, which promotes internal migration. Restricting free movement threatens European integration because it is a fundamental EU treaty right. This article analyses Britain’s preferences towards the EU’s free movement and social security coordination policies leading up to the Brexit referendum. Britain’s identity, and conceptions of statehood and European

The effects of international trade on income inequality in the United States, 1979-1992
The primary purpose of this study was to find out if international trade was a cause of the increase in income inequality that occurred in the United States after 1979. The secondary purposes were to test the predictions of international trade theory regarding the effects of trade on income distribution within nations and to see if trade is a cause of diverging productivity growth between economic sectors.
The general hypothesis was that international trade affects income inequality through its effects on wage structure and employment structure. With the relationship between income inequality and the labor market variables established by definition, the general hypothesis had to be tested only for possible relationships between the labor market variables and trade variables. Specific hypotheses, based on trade theory, were used to examine such relationships with quantitative data from government sources and statistical methods of data analysis.
The results supported the general hypothesis, indicating that international trade contributed to changes in wage structure and employment structure that increased income inequality from 1979 to 1992. The results indicated that trade performance affected the labor market variables through its effects on product demand, rather than through its effects on productivity. The results supported an alternative hypothesis that industry productivity affects trade performance. At the same time, the results indicated that trade raised the average level of productivity for the trading sector, thereby increasing the productivity gap between this sector and the nontrading sector. The results further indicated that technology affected wages through its effect on trade performance. Generally, the results supported the main predictions of international trade theory as well as some modified predictions regarding the effects of trade on income distribution within nations.
The policy implication of this study is that as U.S. trade shifts toward developing countries, its effects on income inequality will accelerate, resulting in a more widely polarized society. Instead of trying to prevent these effects by reimposing trade barriers, the government should try to remedy them by supporting a private sector system of retraining and job placement. This system would be financed by a national tax on consumption

Ontological Foundations of Data Modeling in Information Systems
In this paper we present propositions which we have argued elsewhere concerning ontology and data models. Additionally, we present evidence relating to our propositions. We have found that Chisholm’s ontology has the potential to be a unifying theory for data models. In addition, our research has lead us to the position that ontologies founded in the philosophical tradition of realism seem to serve the purpose of a unifying framework for data models. Further, we have seen the realistic ontologies by Mario Bunge and Roderick Chisholm used in information systems. We believe that realistic ontologies have a role to play in understanding information systems
Modern English Classroom Challenges And Creative Teaching Methods
Teaching is a great profession, but it is also a difficult job. The role of teachers has significantly
changed throughout time in the modern era with the introduction of new teaching approaches and
the manner that digital and smart learning has penetrated the area of education. The paper's major
focus is on the difficulties an English teacher can have in the classroom given the existing
environment, which is primarily characterised by students' lack of respect for, conviction about, and
enthusiasm for the language. When taught using the conventional classroom lecture style, any literary
component or any language skill becomes tough and demanding to teach. In order to teach English to
these "present-day technologically focused youngsters," there is a need to re-assess the classroom
teaching technique in order to meet their needs and the expectations of the students. For tutors to
provide the right teachings, they must identify each student's evolving requirements. The fact that there
may be issues during the educational process also makes it understandable that it could be stressful.
Competent teachers should keep an eye on each difficulty to make sure it doesn't disrupt the learning
process. The challenges faced while teaching English can be addressed with the tools and techniques
for education that are already accessible. The study's major focus is on how well teachers and their
utilisation of contemporary English teaching tools are compatible
