In this paper we present data on the breeding ecology and patterns of nest aggregation in a population ofSalaria pavo (Pisces: Blenniidae), in an area where hard substrates are very scarce. The study site was at Ria Formosa, an extensive littoral lagoon on the south coast of Portugal. The only hard materials available are bricks, tiles, stones and debris that clam culturists use to delimit their fields. The males of S. pavo establish nests intertidally in the holes of the bricks where they guard the eggs. Data were collected at low tide inspections of these artificial ridges and underwater behavioural observations during high tide. The main results are: (i) the same male can establish sequentially more than one nest in the same breeding season; the number of males that stay within the bricks increases before the start of the breeding season and declines towards its end; (ii) there is a large excess of mature males that do not establish nests and they are significantly smaller than the nesting males, suggesting very strong competition for nest sites; (iii) the nests of several males occur in adjacent holes of the same brick, sometimes being entirely surrounded by other nests. Thus, in this population, there is virtually no defended territory around the nest, a situation not known for other blenniid species. This pattern of nest aggregation implies both strong competition among males and reduction of aggression between neighbour parental fishes. This can be explained by the extreme scarcity and spatial distribution of available nest sites.

Background: Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) has been studied and implemented through physical activity in different backgrounds for over three decades. However, there is no systematized review in the literature concerning the after-school context. Aim: Conducting a systematic review of literature on after-school interventions based on the TPSR model. Methods: This study was driven by the following research questions: Which were the conclusions regarding the implementation of TPSR in after-school settings? Which research methodologies have been used to assess TPSR in after-school time settings? Which results related to TPSR were reported in after-school time settings? Cochrane protocol guidelines were followed. Papers were selected by two independent researchers, with Cohen’s Kappa value of 81%. Results and discussion: Twenty-seven papers were selected, thirteen of which were reported with high scores. Most interventions were conducted in the USA on community-based after-school programs, lasting more than nine sessions, and led by school staff who prepared physical activities for youngsters from disadvantaged communities. Most of the reported studies resorted to qualitative methodologies. Some gaps were detected, such as lack of systematization of methods, lack of validity and reliability. Personal and social benefits were found. Other results were grouped into leadership, staff-youngsters relationship, values, transference, and impact on staff lives. We recommend future studies in the after-school context extend to extend to other countries, with more detailed descriptions of the specific used methods.

Faktor psikologis saat ini telah menjadi salah satu aspek yang sangat penting dalam olahraga futsal, namun belum diketahui dengan jelas faktor mana yang lebih berkorelasi dengan performa. Tujuan penelitian ini mencoba untuk menganalisis besarnya korelasi dua faktor psikologis antara self-efficacy dan mental toughness dengan performa atlet futsal. Pendekatan penelitian adalah kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif korelasional. Subjek sebanyak tiga puluh atlet futsal amatir dari Suryakancana University (15 pria dan 15 wanita, n=30). Instrumen self-efficacy, mental toughness dan performa menggunakan FSEQ, FMTQ dan FPQ. Analisis data menggunakan IBM SPSS software versi 25 dengan analisis korelasi person product moment dan analisis korelasi ganda. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara self-efficacy dengan performa atlet, terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara mental toughness dengan performa atlet, terdapat korelasi antara self-efficacy dan mental toughness dengan performa atlet dalam kategori tinggi diperoleh (r=0.733, Sig=0.002<0.05). Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah terdapat korelasi yang tinggi antara self-efficacy dan mental toughness dengan performa atlet futsal. Self-efficacy and mental toughness: Do psychological factors correlate with athlete performance? AbstractPsychological factors have become one of the most important aspects in futsal, however, it is not clear which factors are more correlated with performance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the magnitude of the correlation between two psychological factors between self-efficacy and mental toughness with the performance of futsal athletes. The research approach is quantitative with correlational descriptive methods. Thirty amateur athletes from Suryakancana University (15 men and 15 women, n = 30). Instrumen of self-efficacy, mental toughness and performance using FSEQ, FMTQ and FPQ. Data analysis using IBM SPSS software version 25 with Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis and multiple correlation analysis. The results found that there was a significant correlation between self-efficacy and athlete performance, there is a significant correlation between mental toughness with athlete performance, there is a correlation between self-efficacy and mental toughness with athlete performance in the high category (r=0.733, Sig=0.002<0.05). The conclusion in this study is that there is a high correlation between self-efficacy and mental toughness with the performance of futsal athletes.
