Activity measures of free-ranging grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Flathead drainageMcCann, Robert Keith January 1991 (has links)
Between 1984 and 1988, 4756 hours of activity data were collected on 15 different grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Flathead drainage of southeastern British Columbia and adjacent portions of Montana. Data were collected with the aid of portable chart recorders that recorded the output from motion-sensitive radio collars. While many benefits stem from remote sensing of a study animal as intractable as the grizzly, both the method of data collection and the assumptions employed in translating chart recordings into quantitative measures of bear activity may affect conclusions drawn.
Major objectives of this study were: 1) to assess the validity of procedures employed to translate continuous chart recordings of signal patterns from motion-sensitive radio collars into quantitative measures of bear activity; 2) to assess whether active and inactive bout lengths were related to sex and age related differences in energetic requirements and seasonal differences in food type; and 3) to document activity budgets and patterns as functions of sex, age, season, and the daily solar cycle.
In the absence of concurrent visual observations of grizzly bears and recorded signal patterns, the validity of procedures used to interpret chart recordings was assessed by estimating percent of time active (%TA) under varying definitions of active and inactive bouts, and by comparing %TA to values found by other researchers. Estimates of %TA were stable over the range of activity bout definitions examined. Stability resulted from bears spending most of their time in active and inactive bouts > 30 min duration. Estimates of %TA for this study agreed with results on other populations. Over the non-denning portion of the year, grizzly bears were active about 55% of the time.
Analyses of bout durations were plagued by a bias against active bouts to be monitored in their entirety, because when active, bears frequently moved out of range of the chart recorder. The distribution of activity over the 24-hour cycle differed from many other studies in that bears in the Flathead were active mostly in daylight hours. A greater use of darkness by bears in the fall, compared to other seasons, may be related to available daylight or to avoidance of hunters. While activity patterns were generally bimodal with activity peaks in morning and evening, the morning activity peak was not strongly tied to sunrise. Activity in the morning generally reached a peak 1 or more hours after sunrise. Seasonal trends in activity budgets conformed to physiological changes in bears necessitated by requirements for denning. Significant individual variation exists in both activity patterns and budgets, and may be related to body size, to frequency dependent foraging strategies, or to differing competitive ability for defendable resources among sex-age classes of bears. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate

Towards developing a Teddy Bear Therapy Training Programme for Psychotherapistsvan der Ryst, L. January 2012 (has links)
Thesis(MSc (Clinical Psychology)) -- University of Limpopo, 2012. / Teddy Bear Therapy is a specialised type of intervention which calls for effective
training oftherapists interested in conducting Teddy Bear Therapy. However, no structured
training programme for psychotherapists in this child therapy exists to this date. The current
study therefore developed a training programme for psychotherapists in Teddy Bear Therapy.
The investigation was done by using a qualitative, descriptive research design. This
allowed for a systematic description of the nature of child psychotherapy training
programmes by means of a narrative literature review. From the literature review, questions
were derived to be used in semi-structured interviews with three clinical psychologists. The
data obtained from the interviews were analysed and common themes identified. These
findings were combined with the data obtained from the literature review.
This integration resulted ina training programme in Teddy Bear Therapy. The
training programme incorporates theoretical as well as experiential learning. The programme
outline provides the facilitator with clear instructions as to what each session's objectives and
tasks are. The trainee is provided with a manual that firstly provides background information
necessary to understand the application of Teddy Bear Therapy. Secondly, the manual
provides specific information on the development and process of Teddy Bear Therapy. The
trainee must work through the manual, do exercises, take part in discussions or prepare
readings whenever indicated to do so by the facilitator.
In spite of the contribution which the training programme and its manual can make to
the South African context, it is limited to the theoretical framework of a dissertation and has
not yet been implemented or empirically tested.
