A�STfu\CT A studv of panhandlin� black bears (Ursus anericanus), conducted in the Great Smokv Mountains ra tional Park from 1Q76 throu�h 1978, focused on estab lishing an ecolo?ical and behavioral profile of this segment of the population . Procedures included various photographic and written records . The panhandling contingent showed a preponderance of older females and younger males . Of 392 panhandling ses sions on 33 different bears , 43.9% involved aggression . Seven types of aggression were recorded and as signed numeric va lues based uoon apparent severity . Blow vocalization and charge were the most likelv to occur . Similarly , crowding by visitors was the most frequent preciPitator of ur sid aggression . Actual physical contact occurred in only 37 of the 624 aggressive acts recorded . The out come of these intersPecific interactions was dependent upon frequency of panhandling and individual diff erences among bears . }1ultiple regression analyses of setting factors and visitor acts showed that duration of the session , number of feeding incidents , and visitor acts that resulted in invasion of the bea r's individual space were the best predictors of ursid aggression . Furthermore, the level of aggression provided higher predictability than the mere numb er of aggressive acts . An examination of panhand ling strategies utilizing Judgment Analysis show ed that family units had the most similar strategies and that memb ers of the same sex tended to cluster together . vi v ii Feeding was the most common behavior exhibited by visitors. Seouential analvsis of events surroundin� a22ressive acts revealed that total visitor actions neaked i�mediatelv nreceding an\'ression and that afterward there was a decrease in interactional behaviors for both snecies . Film analvsis of 43 aggressive acts showed that the elements in the aggressive repertoire of black bears were no t extensive but that there was much variation in the topograohy of different tvpes of aggression . Panhandling black bears were atypical of the species in food habits and activitv natterns . Weight comparisons by sex-age class showed that panhandl ing bears were significantly heavier , possibly because unnatural foods supplemented the natural diet . The activity patterns of panhandlers were more diurnal than those of their backcountrv counterparts , indicating a change in their normally crenuscular pattern . �ocin�·iol:J0}C2l ·�ases for "anf1:1.nC:linr'T in �jcars The E11"lan Elern�nt in Panhandlin": . >='ocal ?oint: Creat Sr:1okv 'fountains Xational Park 11 II.

  • Educator Packet
    Educator Packet Animal Survival Strategies Grade Level: 4th Grade (can be adapted to 2nd and 3rd grade) Overview: Students will observe pieces of art from the Art and Animal exhibit and learn about various Ohio wildlife species and the ways they adapt to survive extremes in weather and environments. Materials: Wildlife board game and handout on animal traits. Content Standards: Science: Changes in an organism’s environment are sometimes beneficial to its survival and sometimes harmful. Plants and animals have life cycles that are part of their adaptations for survival in their natural environments. Organisms that survive pass on their traits to future generations Social Studies: Places and Regions: The regions of the United States known as the North, South and West developed in the early 1800s largely based on their physical environments and economies. Human Systems: People have modified the environment since prehistoric times. There are both positive and negative consequences for modifying the environment in Ohio and the United States. Background/Key Ideas: Students will play a game that includes reproductions of several pieces of art from the exhibit Art and the Animal. All pieces are images of animals that can be found in Ohio. Students will use previous knowledge and deductive reasoning to match the correct facts (classifications, and characteristics) to each animal. After completion of the game, facts about adaptation will be further addressed with a silly exercise where the classroom teacher is outfitted with various props which represent each of the animals from the game. Procedures: Introduction: “Hello and welcome to another round of Adapt to Survive; the game where you compete to match Ohio’s wildlife to the correct category.

  • Bab Ii “Menarikan Sang Liyan” : Feminisme Dalam Industri Musik
    BAB II “MENARIKAN SANG LIYAN”i: FEMINISME DALAM INDUSTRI MUSIK “A feminist approach means taking nothing for granted because the things we take for granted are usually those that were constructed from the most powerful point of view in the culture ...” ~ Gayle Austin ~ Bab II akan menguraikan bagaimana perkembangan feminisme, khususnya dalam industri musik populer yang terepresentasikan oleh media massa. Bab ini mempertimbangkan kriteria historical situatedness untuk mencermati bagaimana feminisme merupakan sebuah realitas kultural yang terbentuk dari berbagai nilai sosial, politik, kultural, ekonomi, etnis, dan gender. Nilai-nilai tersebut dalam prosesnya menghadirkan sebuah realitas feminisme dan menjadikan realitas tersebut tak terpisahkan dengan sejarah yang telah membentuknya. Proses historis ini ikut andil dalam perjalanan feminisme from silence to performance, seperti yang diistilahkan Kroløkke dan Sørensen (2006). Perempuan berjalan dari dalam diam hingga akhirnya ia memiliki kesempatan untuk hadir dalam performa. Namun dalam perjalanan performa ini perempuan membawa serta diri “yang lain” (Liyan) yang telah melekat sejak masa lalu. Salah satu perwujudan performa sang Liyan ini adalah industri musik populer K-Pop yang diperankan oleh perempuan Timur yang secara kultural memiliki persoalan feminisme yang berbeda dengan perempuan Barat. 75 76 K-Pop merupakan perjalanan yang sangat panjang, yang mengisahkan kompleksitas perempuan dalam relasinya dengan musik dan media massa sebagai ruang performa, namun terjebak dalam ideologi kapitalisme. Feminisme diuraikan sebagai sebuah perjalanan “menarikan sang Liyan” (dancing othering), yang memperlihatkan bagaimana identitas the Other (Liyan) yang melekat dalam tubuh perempuan [Timur] ditarikan dalam beragam performa music video (MV) yang dapat dengan mudah diakses melalui situs YouTube. Tarian merupakan sebuah bentuk konsumsi musik dan praktik kultural yang membawa banyak makna tersembunyi mengenai konteks sosial (Wall, 2003:188).

  • The Carnivora of Madagascar
    THE CARNIVORA OF MADAGASCAR 49 R. ALBIGNAC The Carizizrorn of Madagascar The carnivora of Madagascar are divided into 8 genera, 3 subfamilies and just one family, that of the Viverridae. All are peculiar to Madagascar except for the genus Viverricula, which is represented by a single species, Viverricula rasse (HORSFIELD),which is also found throughout southern Asia and was probably introduced to the island with man. Palaeontology shows that this fauna is an ancient one comprising many forms, which appear to be mainly of European origin but with very occasional kinships with the Indian region. For instance, Cvptofiroctaferox, although perhaps not directly related to Proailurus lenianensis (a species found in the phosphorites of the Quercy region of France and in the Aquitanian formations of Saint Gérand-le- Puy) , nevertheless appears to be the descendant of this line. Similarly, the origin of the Fossa and Galidiinae lines would seem to be close to that of the holarctic region. Only Eupleres raises a problem, having affinities with Chrotogale, known at present in Indochina. The likely springboard for these northern species is the continent of Africa. This archaic fauna has survived because of the conservative influence of the island, which has preserved it into modern times. In the classification of mammals G. G. SIMPSONputs the 7 genera of Madagascan carnivora in the Viverridae family and divides them into 3 subfamilies, as shown in the following table : VIVERRIDAE FAMILY Fossinae subfamily (Peculiar to Madagascar) Fossa fossa (Schreber) Eupleres goudotii Doyère Galidiinae subfamily (peculiar to Madagascar) Galidia elegans Is.
