Factorial structure of the BAKO 1-4
No full textHintergrund: Die bewusste phonologische Verarbeitung, auch phonologische Bewusstheit genannt, ermöglicht das Erkennen von Reimen, das Silbenerkennen, die Anlautidentifizierung und allgemein die gedankliche Manipulation von Sprachlauten. Sie gilt als wesentliche Basis für einen regelrechten Schriftspracherwerb. Mit dem Test BAKO 1-4 (Basiskompetenzen für das 1.-4. Schuljahr) kann diese phonologische Verarbeitung bei Kindern in den ersten 4 Schuljahrgängen getestet werden. Unklar ist allerdings, welche Grundfähigkeiten mit den einzelnen Untertests abgeprüft werden.Material und Methode: Bei Grundschulkindern wurde der BAKO 1-4 durchgeführt und die Ergebnisse statistisch aufgearbeitet. Ergebnisse: In einer Faktorenanalyse konnten hierzu 2 Faktoren extrahiert werden.Diskussion: Die vorgestellten Ergebnissen stellen dar, dass mit dem BAKO 1-4 zwei verschiedene Basisfähigkeiten abgeprüft werden. Eine dieser Fähigkeiten scheint die "bewusste phonologische Verarbeitung im engeren Sinne" zu sein. Die zweite Grundfähigkeit scheint keine reine Fähigkeit zur phonologischen Verarbeitung zu sein, sondern vielmehr mit der Entscheidungsfindung zusammenhängen. Dies sollte insbesondere bei der Testung von eher entscheidungsunsicheren Kindern berücksichtigt werden

Wild narrow‐striped mongooses use social information to enhance behavioural flexibility
No full textAbstract Behavioural flexibility allows animals to adapt their behaviour to changing situations in their current habitat. Flexibility is involved in behaviours comprising decision‐making in their ecological or social environment. However, the ability to behave flexibly can co‐vary with an individual's personality and its level of inhibitory control, so that previous work has not discerned any consistent pattern in the direction of the relationship among these traits. Our aim was, therefore, to examine the influence of neophobia, inhibitory control, and social learning on behavioural flexibility performance in wild narrow‐striped mongooses (Mungotictis decemlineata) in Kirindy Forest, Madagascar. To this end, we conducted novel object tests to assess neophobia, a cylinder task to assess inhibitory control, and a discrimination and reversal learning task to quantify behavioural flexibility in a natural group setting. We found that neophobia did not correlate with learning performance either in the discrimination learning task or in the reversal learning task. Further, individuals exhibiting more inhibitory control learned faster during the initial learning task, but not in the reversed task, suggesting that inhibitory control facilitated individuals' learning abilities but not behavioural flexibility. Finally, opportunities for social learning correlated with individuals' performance during the reversal learning task. Thus, in narrow‐striped mongooses, social learning seems to facilitate behavioural flexibility, in addition to individual learning, in cognitively more challenging situations, such as a reversal learning condition.In female narrow‐striped mongooses (Mungotictis decemlineata), we measured neophobia and inhibitory control using novel object tests and a transparent cylinder task, respectively. Additionally, we assessed individual performances in discrimination and reversal learning tasks. Individual performance in the discrimination learning task was influenced by inhibitory control, while reversal learning performance correlated with social learning opportunities. These outcomes suggest that inhibitory control promotes individual learning in female narrow‐striped mongooses; however, individuals seem to rely on social learning when facing a challenging situation. imageDeutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/50110000165

Minangkabau merupakan salah satu etnis suku bangsa yang menganut
sistem kekerabatan dari garis keturunan ibu atau dikenal dengan sistem
matrilineal. Sistem kekerabatan matrilineal terdiri atas dua jenis keluarga : (1)
Keluarga Inti (nuclear family), (2) Keluarga Luas (extended family). Di dalam
sistem kekerabatan matrilineal terdapat hubungan timbal balik antara anak dari
saudara laki-laki ibu yang disebut Anak Pisang dengan keluarga ayah dari anak
tersebut yang dikenal keluarga Bako.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui proses dan bentuk
resiprositas paragih bako dalam upacara adat perkawinan pada masyarakat
Kelurahan Bungus Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan
pendekatan studi kasus yang bersifat deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data
dengan observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dokumentasi, analisis data.
Teknik pemilihan informan dengan purposive sampling. Lokasi penelitian di
Kelurahan Bungus Timur, Kecamatan Bungus Teluk Kabung, Kota Padang,
Provinsi Sumatera Barat.
Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah menunjukkan bahwa pada masyarakat
Minangkabau di Kelurahan Bungus Timur masih terdapat prosesi pelaksanaan
adat perkawinan yang bersumber kepada nilai-nilai adat Minangkabau dan
terdapat hubungan timbal balik di dalam sistem kekerabatan matrilineal yaitu
antara bako dengan anak pisang. Bentuk hubungan antara keduanya terdapat di
dalam upacara adat perkawinan yaitu paragih bako. Paragih bako adalah
pemberian berupa barang dan jasa kepada anak pisang pada saat upacara adat
perkawinan, pemberian tersebut memiliki kewajiban kepada anak pisang agar
memberikan pemberian balasan kepada bako dikemudian hari. Aktivitas tukar
menukar diantara keduanya memiliki konsekuensi apabila tidak berjalan
sebagaimana mestinya. Kesimpulannya adalah Paragih bako merupakan alat yang
menjadi perekat agar hubungan kekerabatan antara anak pisang dengan bako terus
terjaga di dalam tatanan masyarakat matrilineal Minangkabau.

Evaluation of Two Moringa Species for Adaptability and Growth Performance under Bako Conditions
No full textA Moringa species adaptability experiment was conducted at Bako Agricultural Research Center, Western Oromia for three consecutive years (2010/11-2013/14). The objective of the study was to assess the growth performance and adaptation of moringa species to the area depending on their early growth patterns and survival. This is a sort of matching the moringa species with the Bako environment. In this experiment, two different Moring species (Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala) were included, and compared by using randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that there was a significant difference in height growth (p£0.01) and non significant difference in root collar diameter (p≥0.05), diameter at breast height (dbh) (p≥0.05) and survival (p≥0.05) between the two moringa species at this particular area. But results showed that there was highly significant difference root collar diameter (p£0.01) measured at one month and significant difference diameter at breast height (dbh) (p£0.05) at one year age of establishment performance of the species. This could be due to the environmental factors and inherent genetic potentials of the species which generally govern tree growth. The height growth of Moringa oleifera (4.01 m) outsmarted than Moringa stenopetala (2.40 m). There was significant difference between Moringa stenopetala (0.84 cm) and Moringa oleifera (0.66 cm) regarding root collar diameter development at the first assessment (after one month age), but both of species was not significant difference at increased the age of species. Of both species Moringa stenopetala and Moringa oleifera showed good survival rates with mean values of 97.33 and 100% respectively. Based on the results of three years growth data, the performance of these Moring oleifera species is promising and hence they can be considered for further technology specific and on-farm agroforestry works around Bako. Keywords: diameter at breast height, genetic potentials, Moringa oleifera, Moringa stenopetala, and root collar diameter.

Adaptive output feedback control based on neural networks: application to flexible aircraft control
No full textOne of the major challenges in aeronautical flexible structures control is the uncertain for the non stationary feature of the systems. Transport aircrafts are of unceasingly growing size but are made from increasingly light materials so that their motion dynamics present some
flexible low frequency modes coupled to rigid modes. For reasons that range from fuel transfer to random flying conditions, the parameters of these planes may be subject to significative variations during a flight. A single control law that would be robust to so large levels of uncertainties is likely to be limited in performance. For that reason, we follow in this work an adaptive control approach. Given an existing closed-loop system where a basic controller controls the rigid body modes, the problem of interest consists in designing an adaptive controller that could deal with the flexible modes of the system in such a way that the performance of the first controller is not deteriorated even in the presence of parameter variations. To this purpose, we follow a similar strategy as in Hovakimyan (2002) where a reference model adaptive control method has been proposed. The basic model of the rigid modes is regarded as a reference model and a neural network based learning algorithm is used to compensate online for the effects of unmodelled dynamics and parameter variations. We then successfully apply this control policy to the control of an Airbus aircraft. This is a very high dimensional dynamical model (about 200 states) whose direct control is obviously hard. However, by applying the aforementioned adaptive control technique to it, some promising simulation results can be achieved
