International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / The Defense Evaluation Support Activity (DESA) is an independent Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) activity that provides tailored evaluation support to government organizations. DESA provides quick-response support capabilities and performs activities ranging from studies to large-scale field activities that include deployment, instrumentation, site setup, event execution, analysis and report writing. The National Guard Bureau requested DESA's assistance in the development and field testing of the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Sensor Suite (LSS). LSS was integrated by DESA to provide a multi-sensor suite that detects and identifies ground targets on foot or in vehicles with minimal operator workload. The LSS was designed primarily for deployment in high density drug trafficking areas along the northern and southern borders using primarily commercial-off-the-shelf and government-off-the-shelf equipment. Field testing of the system prototype in summer of 1995 indicates that the LSS will provide a significant new data collection and transfer capability to the National Guard in control of illegal drug transfer across the U.S. borders.

Despite an international interest in flamenco music, there has not been much analytical work on the genre. In fact, flamenco music has only recently started to be notated, let alone be analyzed by music theorists. Due to its multi-cultural influence, flamenco music incorporates characteristics and trends from both Eastern and Western societies. Although its melodies are fundamentally derived from the Phrygian mode, the flamenco style includes alterations that create symmetrical pitch collections. In Concerto del Fuego, composer Loris O. Chobanian expands upon the Eastern and Western traditions by writing a twentieth-century concert piece that combines the flamenco harmonic and melodic language within a concert setting. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how Loris O. Chobanian successfully exploits symmetrical collections that are inherent in traditional flamenco scales and cadences to create a concert piece.

BAKGRUND: I vår bakgrund beskriver vi Reggio Emilias pedagogiskafilosofi genom litteratur, vår resa till Italien samt aktuellforskning inom förskolan och svenska förskolans läroplan.SYFTE: Syftet med undersökningen är att beskriva arbetssätt ochtankesätt hos sex pedagoger och hur fyra rektorer stödjerverksamheten utifrån Reggio Emilias pedagogiska filosofi.METOD: Undersökningen omfattar tio kvalitativa intervjuer med sexpedagoger och fyra rektorer på sex förskolor där även sexmiljöobservationer har genomförts. Datainsamlingen harbearbetats genom en kvalitativ analys.RESULTAT: Resultatet har visat pedagogernas tankesätt och arbetssätt,vilket utgår ifrån deras barnsyn. Miljönsanvändningsområden har framkommit genommiljöobservationer. Genom intervjuer med rektorerframkom det hur de stödjer, uppmuntrar och erbjuderpedagogerna fortbildning. / Uppsatsnivå: C

SammanfattningMaria Montessori och Loris Malaguzzi är grundare till två olika arbetssätt inom förskolansverksamhet: Montessoripedagogik och Reggio Emilia filosofi. Båda har som central punkt attarbeta med språkstimulering med hjälp av pedagogisk miljö och material. Enligt läroplanenhar pedagogerna skyldighet att utmana barnen i de olika uttrycksformer som förskolanerbjuder. Syftet med detta arbete är att se hur pedagoger arbetar med språkstimulering ochkommunikation inom deras inspirationer, hur pedagogerna planerar och utför sitt arbete samthur den pedagogiska miljön utformas. Dessutom vill vi se vilka likheter och skillnader detfanns mellan dessa inspirationer. Genom litteratur om de olika inspirationerna så har vi kunnatkoppla ihop teori och praktik med bland annat stöd ifrån teoretiker som Jean Piaget och LevVygotskij.Det empiriska materialet som vi har samlat in är består av intervjuer med pedagoger samtobservationer i barngrupper. De slutsatser som vi dragit är att inspirationerna egentligen ärväldigt lika varandra, samtidigt finns det skillnader de emellan. Både Montessoripedagogikenoch Reggio Emilia filosofin är väldigt noga med att den pedagogiska miljön är uppbyggd såatt barnen ska få inspiration till ett lärande. Skillnaden är att Montessori är en pedagogik ochhar en metod att följa medan Reggio Emilia filosofin är ett synsätt och har ett arbetssätt sompedagogerna själv får tolka och planera verksamheten efter.NyckelordMontessoripedagogik, Reggio Emilia filosofin, den tredje pedagogen, Maria Montessori,Loris Malaguzzi.

This is a quantitative analysis of individual and sex-related variability in selected activities of captive slow lorises (Nyctivebus coucang).

Today biodiversity is rapidly decreasing and an increasing number of threatened species live in modified and human dominated landscapes. Therefore it is essential to learn more about how species cope with the changes of their habitat. The focus of this study lies on a primate species, the critically endangered Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus), endemic to the densely populated island of Java, Indonesia.  In cooperation with the Little fire face project in West Java, I used a step selection function (SSF) framework, to understand how landscape structure affects the movement of Javan slow lorises within a fragmented mountain-agroforest landscape of Cipaganti, West Java. To investigate the movement and fine scale habitat selection of slow lorises I used one hour locations of 6 radio-collared slow lorises. The habitat and vegetation of observed and random steps was investigated in multiple variables such as presence of food trees and signs of human disturbance. For the analysis I paired observed steps (1h relocations) with 3 random habitat locations and used a conditional logistic regression to parameterize the SSF, which represents the probability of a focal slow loris to select a given step as a function of the habitat and vegetation factors surveyed. In average the slow lorises travelled about 450 m each night and most frequently they used a step length of about 0 – 50 m. My result reveals that slow lorises fine scale habitat selection is positively influenced by the presence of trees and tree trunk cover (indirect increasing the canopy cover and connectivity). They are also to a high extent positively affected by the presence of a feeding tree species, Calliandra calothyrsus. Surprisingly slow lorises selected steps associated with a higher number of fields (fields may indicate an increased biodiversity within the location). The results also indicate that slow lorises are limited in their movement by the presence of fields or rivers, which indicates that slow lorises are negatively influenced in their movement by a declining ability to move and forage within Cipaganti. I found no significant differences between sexes in their distance travelled. The recommendation for future conservation of slow lorises in Cipaganti is to prevent further habitat loss and fragmentation through activities that protect or maintain the present suitable slow loris habitat. Further research is needed to increase the knowledge of these primates’ abilities to live in this modified landscape.
