Spatial Memory Drives Foraging Strategies of Wolves, but in Highly Individual Ways
2022
The ability of wild animals to navigate and survive in complex and dynamic environments depends on their ability to store relevant information and place it in a spatial context. Despite the centrality of spatial memory, and given our increasing ability to observe animal movements in the wild, it is perhaps surprising how difficult it is to demonstrate spatial memory empirically. We present a cognitive analysis of movements of several wolves (Canis lupus) in Finland during a summer period of intensive hunting and den-centered pup-rearing. We tracked several wolves in the field by visiting nearly all GPS locations outside the den, allowing us to identify the species, location and timing of ne…
Filozof - przewodnik
2016
Starożytni stoicy uważali siebie za przewodników ludzi w kwestiach dotyczących tego, co zgodne z ich naturą. Udzielali porad, jak postępować w codziennych sprawach. Współcześnie niektórzy filozofowie kontynuują tę starożytną tradycję jako doradcy bądź trenerzy rozwoju osobistego. Czy są przewodnikami w sensie, w jakim byli nimi stoicy? Pytanie to stanie się myślą przewodnią rozważań podjętych w niniejszym wystąpieniu. Problemem podstawowym będzie poszukiwanie właściwej formuły, w jakiej można by było zamknąć współczesne filozoficzne przewodnictwo (kierownictwo duchowe) w sytuacji, gdy uznaje się, że nie może być ono prostym powielaniem starożytnych wzorów
Trolligans : Conceptual Links Between Trolling and Hooliganism in Sports and Esports
2023
Both game-based trolling and hooliganism have existed in some form since the inception of online gaming and professional sports respectively. The two share many characteristics: provocation of an opposing entity, the tendency to taunt or trash-talk others based on their social or individual identity, and disruptive and/or destructive behaviour. However, despite this and the increasing similarity between the worlds of traditional sports and esports, research on the two negatively perceived phenomena has remained largely separate. The present article aims to both link and distinguish the two types of behaviour in terms of what motivates them, the agents involved, and the spaces in which they…
The role of teachers’ controlling behaviour in physical education on adolescents’ health-related quality of life : test of a conditional process model
2019
Students’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) may depend on the extent to which the school environment fostered by their teacher is perceived as autonomy-supportive. We tested a conditional process model in a physical education context in which students’ perception of their teachers’ autonomy-supportive behaviour moderated the relationship between perceived controlling behaviour and HRQoL via need frustration. School students (N = 1042) completed self-report measures of perceived teachers’ autonomy support, perceived controlling behaviour, need frustration, and HRQoL. As predicted, the effect of perceived teachers’ controlling behaviour on HRQoL was mediated by need frustration. Perceive…
Factor selection procedures in a Google Earthtm aided landslide susceptibility model: application to the Beiro river basin (Spain)
2011
A procedure to select the controlling factors connected to the slope instability has been defined. It allowed to assess the landslide susceptibility in the Rio Beiro basin (about 10 km2) over the north-eastern area of the city of Granada (Spain). Field and remote (Google EarthTM) recognition techniques allowed to generate a landslide inventory consisting in 127 phenomena. Univariate tests, using both association coefficients and validation results of single parameter susceptibility models, allowed to select among 15 controlling factors the ones that resulted as good predictor variables; these have been combined for unique conditions analysis and susceptibility maps were finally prepared. In…
Strategie językowe trolli internetowych
2018
The anonymity of Internet users very often leads to the violation o f netiquette rules. One of the groups of Internet users who violate the commonly accepted ways of communicating on the Internet are trolls posting provocative commentaries to start conflict. The most frequent result of their attempts is fiame, which is a serious Internet argument loaded with spite. Among linguistic strategies used by trolls are the following: posting commentaries with a lot of intentionally misspelled words, generalizability, use of negative stereotypes, off-topic commentaries (that is starting threads unrelated to the topie of the article or post), emphasizing their own high materiał status, and disparagem…
