Review, synthesize, and reflect on data you have collected about yourself. Weekly discussion in lab will help you to construct this SRL profile. The SRL profile creates an opportunity to draw on data from your weekly self assessments and weekly My Planners to review and summarize your strengths and weaknesses in terms of engagement, SRL, motivation, anxiety, emotion regulation, procrastination, time management, task understanding, goal setting, etc. Summarize and present a profile of YOU. The assignment will conclude with an SRL change plan in which you will choose to tackle/change one problem over the remaining part of the semester in terms of: (a) behavior/s, (b) thinking, (c) motivation, or (d) emotions/affect.
Prepare your answer in word or some other format. Cut and paste it into the text window for this assignment.
You must answer the following questions. This assignment should not exceed 1500:
(1) STRENGTHS: Looking across the topics and self-assessments covered to date, what are my main strengths? How can I leverage those strengths in taking control of my university success?
(2) WEAKNESSES: Looking across the topics and self-assessments covered to date, what are my main weaknesses? Why might addressing those weaknesses be important for taking control of my university success?
(3) CHALLENGES: After reviewing my 6 MyPlanners to date, these are the critical patterns I see in my weekly attempts to take control of my learning. For this you should pay particular attention to: (a) engagement (Q. 1), (b) Goal attainment (first question after STOP sign), (c) Challenges - particularly patterns over time in the challenges that get in your way, (d) Other things such as feeling or motivation reported in the myPlanner.
(4) TARGET FOR CHANGE: Based on what you have summarized above, identify and justify one main thing you want to tackle in the remaining part of the semester. This should be something you want to take control of. It should be something you see as critical for your success in one (or more) of your other courses. Be explicit about whether the thing you want to change is about changing a: (a) behavior, (b) cognitive process or outcome, (c) motivation, or (d) feeling (emotion/affect).
(5) HOW WILL YOU EVALUATE YOUR SUCCESS? What data do you need to collect to figure out if you have been successful in tackling/addressing that target for change. In addition list 5 self-assessments you would like to redo at the end to self-evaluate your change.

Why set goals? Having a clear direction for your future and a picture of what you plan to do is
extremely important for maintaining a positive attitude. Having clear goals is a key to creating and
maintaining a positive mindset even when “things get tough.”
Qualities of Goals
In order for goals to be useful, they need to have the following qualities:
The goals that you set for yourself must be based on your values and beliefs.
No one else can choose goals for you. Others can make suggestions, but you must "own" your
goals for them to be useful.
You must decide what you want to achieve.

Goal Setting and Planning
In this unit, you will be focusing on goal setting and planning. In order to set realistic goals for yourself, you must first have a clear
understanding of what is important to you.
You will also begin planning ahead for your Unit 8 project by setting up an interview with a professional in your chosen field.
Goal Setting
In Unit 7 you investigate the power of setting goals. You seek to recognize the importance of goal setting and actually apply this
S.M.A.R.T. concept to your Unit 7 interview with completion and submission of your project in Unit 8. Goal setting will assist you and
motivate you to reach for success.
Why is Goal Setting Important?
Imagine you decide to build a house. You do not bother with setting any goals for its completion. Wow. What a mess. Imagine you want
to be a doctor when you grow up, but never thought you needed to take a science class in high school, or did not even plan on going to
college.
Goals motivate us.
Goals stimulate your creativity. You use one of the best creative words possible — you visualize. When you engage in visualization,
you are on the top step of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. You are fully engaged in critical thinking. Without goals, you will not achieve that
visualization.
Goals guide you.
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 3
Goals are set to lead you as you move from beginning to end. They carry you along your way.
Goals inspire you.
Goals help you to recognize that you are the creator of your own stories. You can achieve anything that you want to achieve with the
inspiration you will get from goal setting. You will take things one step at a time and with each step you feel the power of completion.
Goals challenge you.
If not for the challenge involved in accomplishing a goal, you would not get past the first step. Goals do not have to be extremely hard to
reach, and they should not be too simple either, as there is no challenge in that. You reach when you set goals. You want that object,
job, or future that.
Everyone has 24 hours a day, but there is a difference in time management and scheduling that some can and some cannot do on time. In this book, you will learn about my personal and smart time management method. I combined this method with a few general standard methods. I advised my colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones on this method of time management.
Congratulations, your students are now ready to develop plans for their chosen career and implement them!
From the previous session, they were able to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and analyzed opportunities and threats that run with them. They also learned that SWOT is not only an effective tool for business but is also beneficial for job seekers and students like them who aim to climb the career and success ladder.
In this module, they will learn the step by step procedure in making plans depending on their timeframe. This will assure them of a more structured and reliable implementation of plans that will lead to achieving goals. Finally, this session will enable them to focus their talents, skills, and values to the career and life plans that they dream of.
So, let us now take off and begin their future today!

The team leader is the main link between the organization’s goals and the people who are responsible for the daily activities that make those goals a reality. Because of the necessary and integral role that this position plays, it is obvious that good team leaders are key to the success of any organization.
Many everyday decisions required within this role affect the revenue, productivity, service levels as well as attitudes and morale. With a role and function of this magnitude, it would seem logical that the process of becoming a team leader would require years of training. However, most team leaders have had little or no training in the required skills.More often than not, today’s teams leaders are men and women who have been promoted from being a superworker to being a team leader. However with the development of some key skills, the superworker can successfully transition into a super team leader!
Learn how to :
Understand the roles and function of a successful team leader
Maximize their power of influence to build a cohesive and productive team
Create clear results-focused action plans
Manage their time to ensure deadlines are met and projects are brought to a successful completion
Setting goals is a fundamental aspect of personal and professional growth.
However, it is equally important to make sure that these goals are realistic and achievable.
In today's fast-paced world, where success is often measured by societal standards, the importance of setting realistic goals cannot be overstated.
Realistic goals provide us with a clear roadmap, help us stay motivated, and enable us to make progress towards our aspirations.
Therefore, for anyone who wants to achieve long-term fulfillment and success, it is essential to understand why it is important to set realistic goals.
According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 19.docxronak56
According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 1950 (P.L. 81-875) defined the roles and responsibilities during natural disasters. Once the president issued a disaster declaration, federal relief resources could flow to the affected areas for response and recovery. The president would then delegate administrative control of relief efforts to the Housing and Home Finance Administration. This law also instituted the federal role in natural disasters as a supportive role, while instituting primary responsibility for disaster response and recovery with local and state governments. How had this changed by 1978? Why did it change? Do you agree with the change? Why, or why not?

According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic gr.docxronak56
According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic growth is affected by a number of factors. Also, hundreds of empirical studies on economic growth across countries have highlighted the correlation between economic growth and a variety of variables.
Claims regarding the determinants of economic growth are conditional, and the findings depend on the variables used. However, the availability of physical capital or infrastructure, government consumption, terms of trade, macroeconomic stability, the rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, foreign direct investments, population size, and natural resource availability are the most consistent findings of empirical studies on economic growth.
Review the literature on economic growth and provide a summary of how:
Population affects economic growth
Natural Resource Abundance affects economic growth
Note: The answers you provide to each of these sub-questions should not be more than 15 sentences.
Also note that because this is a literature review you must cite credible sources; avoid using news articles.
The examples below should serve as a guide
Example 1: The example below shows how inflation affects investment in a study of the effect of inflation on investment.
The destabilizing effect of inflation on investment has been a major source of debate in economic and business literature. Generally, inflation is often considered a sign of macroeconomic instability and the inability of government to control macroeconomic policy, both of which contribute to an adverse investment climate (Fischer, 2013; Greene & Villanueva, 1991). However, the empirical evidence is still far from convincing. While some authors claim positive effects of inflation on investment, others hold that inflation poses a “stealth” threat to investments. For example, Greene and Villanueva (1991) argue that high rate of inflation adversely affects private investment activity by increasing the riskiness of long-term investment projects. Also, Fischer (2013) observed that inflation uncertainty is associated with substantial reduction in total investment. On the contrary, McClain and Nicholes (1993) found that investment and inflation are positively related to each other.
Example 2: The example below shows how natural resource endowments affects income inequality in a study of the determinants of income inequality.
The nexus between natural resource endowments and income inequality has also been widely debated and has inspired a long history of research in both economics and political science (see, for example, Fum and Hodler, 2010; Goderis and Malone, 2011; Leamer, Maul, Rodriguez, and Schott, 1999; Carmignani, 2013; Parcero and Papyrakis, 2016; Bourguignon and Morrisson, 1998). For example, Anderson et al., (2004) argue that natural resources endowment provide a plausible explanation as to why the observed levels of inequality are significantly higher in both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of.docxronak56
According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of being a well-prepared special educator includes “developing relationships with families based on mutual respect and actively involving families and individuals with exceptionalities in educational decision making” (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015, Special Education Professional Ethical Principles, E). This includes advocating for parental involvement by providing information on educational rights and safeguards in a way that creates accessibility and transparent IEP meeting procedures (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015).
Hammond, Ingalls and Trussell (2008) investigated the experiences of those family members who attended an initial IEP meeting and then subsequent meetings over the next four years. Their findings indicated that the overwhelming majority of the 212 family participants agreed that the child needed special education services but had negative emotional responses to the initial team meeting. Some of the most beneficial information collected included acknowledging the emotions tied to having a child initial diagnosed with a disability; stronger communication skills by education professionals during the team meeting; and additional measures to better prepare parents for the team meetings (Hammond, Ingalls, & Trussell, 2008). Similarly, the article,
Building Parent Trust in the Special Education Setting (Links to an external site.)
(Wellner, 2012) was written to emphasize the importance of trust building strategies to avoid costly due process hearings and to maximize relationships with all involved in making decisions on behalf of the student with special needs.

MAJOR HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS IN THE U.S. 2
Major Health Care Problems in the US
Problem statement: High and continuously rising cost of health care has been and still is one of
the biggest challenges affecting the Health Care system in United States.
Methods of Examining the Problem
Both qualitative and quantitative research methods should be used to fully understand the
issue of high cost of care in the US. Quantitative methods like surveys and experimentations will
aid in estimating the prevalence, magnitude and frequency of the problem in different regions.
On the other hand, qualitative methods like case studies and observation will help describe the
extent and complexity of the issue. The two approaches need to work in complementation to
obtain a clear understanding of this menace.
Surveys, as a quantitative research method, is one of the most effective in the social
research and present a more viable method of examining the cost of health in the country. They
involve asking of questions in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are
written questions to which the response can be open ended or multiple-choice format. This
would be used to gain information about cost within determinants that are of
disagree/neutral/agree nature. An example is if patients are contented with the cost of services
they get or they deem the cost of cover worthy. Interviews, the researcher discussing issues with
the respondents, are to be used to gain more details on already known aspects of the system. This
may include gathering information to inform policies, administration and use of technology to
minimize the cost of care.
Since health cost in the US is not a new challenge and there have been studies about it,
qualitative methods like .

According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, .docxronak56
According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, but its future is looking unpromising unless we start by eliminating the payroll tax cap.
In the author’s proposal to keep the funding open, the author proposes the acceptance of Bernie Sanders’ “Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act,” which the author suggests would removes the payroll tax cap. To elaborate further, the author stated that the reason for the cap on the social security is because of the uneven amount of participation during elections which makes the rich influential in governance. The author stated that, research have found that the rich who made over $125,000 contributed 35% in campaigns. According to the author, this act causes a major problem regarding the shaping of the social security because people with lower income would not be able to contribute that amount of money towards campaigns. The author also states that it causes greater income equality, since those who contribute are rich and as a matter of fact get more benefits from political power in the form of payroll tax cap. This in the authors words, compromises the state of social welfare in the United States because those active in politics don’t have the same views as the poor who are focused on housing, poverty, and health. Congressional Research Service was used to predicts that, if tax cap is not removed, there will be a permanent increase of tax rate from 12.4% to 15.1% which would hurt people making less than the current tax cap currently at $132,900 or, cutting benefits by 20% in 2035 and continuously rising every year.
In as much as the author makes a good point on the percentage of rich people that donated to campaign, the author failed to state how much the rich get in payroll tax cap since that is a major part of the authors argument. The authors failed to indicate how an increase in tax rate would affect people making less than the current tax cap which is $132,900. To sum it up, the author failed to expand and give more numeric evidence to support the argument.
In addition, to provide a guideline in eliminating payroll tax cap, the author suggested a bill introduced by Bernie Sanders called, Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act. The bill according to the author seeks to remove the cap placed on payroll taxes. The author further stated the bill will help Solvency to expand for 75 years without increasing taxes for those who earn less than $250,000, the only people who will see a change are those earn more than $250,000. According to the Congressional Research Service as stated by the author, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author stated that, the top 200 CEOs would have to contributed $341,291,106 towards Social Security when the tax cap is removed. In addition, the author stated that, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author proposes an increase in the taxable payroll from 12.40% to 12.83% to keep it solvent.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Review, synthesize, and reflect on data you have collected about y.docx
1. Review, synthesize, and reflect on data you have collected
about yourself. Weekly discussion in lab will help you to
construct this SRL profile. The SRL profile creates an
opportunity to draw on data from your weekly self assessments
and weekly My Planners to review and summarize your
strengths and weaknesses in terms of engagement, SRL,
motivation, anxiety, emotion regulation, procrastination, time
management, task understanding, goal setting, etc. Summarize
and present a profile of YOU. The assignment will conclude
with an SRL change plan in which you will choose to
tackle/change one problem over the remaining part of the
semester in terms of: (a) behavior/s, (b) thinking, (c)
motivation, or (d) emotions/affect.
Prepare your answer in word or some other format. Cut and
paste it into the text window for this assignment.
You must answer the following questions. This assignment
should not exceed 1500:
(1) STRENGTHS: Looking across the topics and self-
assessments covered to date, what are my main strengths? How
can I leverage those strengths in taking control of my university
success?
(2) WEAKNESSES: Looking across the topics and self-
assessments covered to date, what are my main weaknesses?
Why might addressing those weaknesses be important for taking
control of my university success?
(3) CHALLENGES: After reviewing my 6 MyPlanners to date,
these are the critical patterns I see in my weekly attempts to
take control of my learning. For this you should pay particular
attention to: (a) engagement (Q. 1), (b) Goal attainment (first
question after STOP sign), (c) Challenges - particularly patterns
over time in the challenges that get in your way, (d) Other
things such as feeling or motivation reported in the myPlanner.
(4) TARGET FOR CHANGE: Based on what you have
summarized above, identify and justify one main thing you want
2. to tackle in the remaining part of the semester. This should be
something you want to take control of. It should be something
you see as critical for your success in one (or more) of your
other courses. Be explicit about whether the thing you want to
change is about changing a: (a) behavior, (b) cognitive process
or outcome, (c) motivation, or (d) feeling (emotion/affect).
(5) HOW WILL YOU EVALUATE YOUR SUCCESS? What
data do you need to collect to figure out if you have been
successful in tackling/addressing that target for change. In
addition list 5 self-assessments you would like to redo at the
end to self-evaluate your change.
Weekly Self-regulated learning assessment
1. Week 1
My strengths are knowing to creating goals and finding the
correct adjustment to correct the problem.Through the report,
the scores of planning, information management strategy and
debugging strategies are relatively high. Personally, I am used
to setting goals and planing before I started to learning, and I
am satisfied with the good performance in organizing and
engage in learning information more efficiently during the
process. I also focused on using strategies to correcting my
mistakes during the studying. I noticed that my weaknesses are
comprehension monitoring and evaluation. I believe that I have
trouble with reglecting on my learning progress during a
learning situation, and I always ignored the evaluation. I paid
more attention to the quality of the performance rather than
focus on getting things done during a learning episode. My
targets of regulation are encouraging me to get things done first,
and then identify what needs to improve, make the appriate
changes, and then follow through until the goal is accomplished.
3. Week 2:
Week 3:
Below is the explanation by subscale:
1. Preparing to Set Goals
· A low score on this requires you to adapt your approaches.
· Many people miss out this stage when they set goals, and they
struggle later as a result. The planning step is essential because
you need to tie your personal goals to your personal values and
dreams (and not to the goals and dreams of other people). This
will help to motivate you when times get tough.
· In EDD101, we talk about setting CAST goals and goals that
emphasize the process of doing rather than the product. Refer to
lecture slides and readings to lean more about CAST goals and
why they matter.
2. Forming Goals
· A low score on this requires you to adapt your approaches.
· You are probably familiar with the idea of goal setting, but
how do you make sure your goals have specific concepts to be
learned, actions, standard(s) and timeline for them to be
motivating? If you need guidance on setting specific and
achievable goals, refer to lecture slides and readings to learn
more about CAST goals. Ask your lab instructor for help. Then,
familiarize yourself with typical goal-setting mistakes to make
sure that you are not unintentionally holding yourself back.
· Spend some time imagining the positive impact that achieving
your goals will have on your life. Also, think about the times
when you haven't been successful, or when you fail an
assignment. Reflect on what went wrong, and whether there was
anything you could have done differently – then take what
you've learned and apply it to your new goals.
3. Motivation
· A low score on this requires you to adapt your approaches.
4. · There are plenty of ways that you can support yourself if you
start to lose motivation during a tough patch.
· Look for some quick wins right from the start. Keep working
towards your goals by building them into your To-Do List or
action program, and "park" other good ideas until you can do
something about them – this will help you keep on top of
multiple goals without getting distracted by exciting new ideas.
· If you lose motivation, explore what is making you feel
demotivated. Do you struggle with self-discipline, a lack of
time or a drifting sense of purpose? Redesign your goals around
your time commitments if you need to, or create smaller sub-
goals to give yourself some "easy wins" to boost your
enthusiasm.
· It's also OK to ask for support from friends or colleagues. For
example, you may want them to remind you of your bigger-
picture dreams when you're finding things tough.
· And remember: change is difficult, even when you're working
towards something you want.
4. Achieving Goals
· A low score on this requires you to adapt your approaches.
· As you get nearer to your goal, plan how you'll celebrate
success. This will spur you on to cross the finishing line!
· You need to make time to recognize and enjoy your
achievement – for your own sake, as well as to thank those who
have supported you along the way.
· After you've acknowledged your success, take a time to reflect
on the process of achieving your goal. The second half of the
MyPlanner guides this process for you. Think about what you
found tough, what went wrong, and what went better than you
expected. Build that self-knowledge into your future goal-
planning.
Week 4:
From time management behavior assessment and adaptive
5. procrastination assessment, I can see that my strengths lie in
that I can make a to-do list to stay organized before doing the
tasks, and track the small tasks to finish it on time. I am used to
using the notebook and app-MyStudyLife to manage my time
effectively, and using the small moments between classes to do
the achievable things. What is more, I knew how to use the
CAST strategies to set the challenge but achieveable goals,
break things down into small single work, and do one thing at a
time. I am able to accurately estimate the minimum amount of
time required to finish a task and push myself to efficiently
toward a goal, even with last minute pressure. My weaknesses
lie in that I can not manage internptions and distractors from
others or the social media when I did the work. I always like to
chat with my friends on Wechat or surf the Internet during the
studying, and have no ability to take control of myself from
time to time. Academic stress is an important problem that I
need to overcome to some extent, I always felt stressed and
anxiety before academic demands like deadlines and exams in
front of me. I can not control my emotions in an effective way
in order to cause the insomnia sometimes during the busy
schedule weeks. I can not accept the high pressure so I try to
avoid the procrastination to complete the tasks until the
deadlines, although I always satisfied with task outcomes when
I procrastinate. My targets of regulation are that I should learn
how to deal with the stress and how to have the motivation and
courage to try the things. I also should learn the strategies to
take control of myself from the distractions during the study.
Turn off the notifications for social media and avoid studying
around people who aren't studying are my favourite ways. I
should try to make changes and adaptations to become better
during the term!

Introduction
Study of animal behavior and how this affects their habitat is a
societal issue that has been examined extensively. Efforts have
been put to investigate the relationship between animal behavior
and their ecology, evolution, genetics, development, and
physiology. Studies are aimed at developing policies that will
attempt to solve challenges facing wild animals (Breed &
Moore, 2011). The basis for investigating animal behaviors is a
good understanding of the integration between their ecology and
physiology. Animal behavior is influenced by stimuli, which
determines response and coordination. The two main categories
of animal responses are internal (involving variations in nerves
and hormone systems) and external (food and predators). In
addition, response in animals incorporate adaptive behavior in
various environmental circumstances (Breed & Moore, 2011).
While several studies have been done to examine animal
behavior in relation to their surroundings, little is known about
antelope behavior. Studying the behavior of antelopes in
relation to their surrounding is key to making their habitats
better, thus reducing the possibility of going extinct of some
antelope species.

Four perspectives of animal behavior have been discussed in
this book. These include survival value, ontogeny, causation,
and evolution. The authors use these four concepts to formulate
animal behavior, thus contributing to the logical knowledge of
the scientific analysis. The biological views and behavior of
individual animals has been deliberated. Furthermore, the
authors provides a detailed discussion of the genetic
background of animal behavior. Various discussions of animal
8. behavior such as homeostasis, learning and cognition, the
underlying communication mechanisms and neural processes are
highlighted. A number of chapters in the book have been
devoted for the discussion of animal behavior such as mating,
foraging, nesting, movement, self-defense, etc.
There is a complete chapter on conservation. The topics
presented by the authors are an excellent and reachable means
of studying animal behavior. Even though the book does not
give insight about antelopes, it offers a good basis to generalize
since some animal behaviors cut across all animals.

(Hippotragus Equinus) Population in Mixed Bushveld, Nylsvlei
Nature Reserve.” South African Journal of Wildlife Research,
vol.28, no. 2, 1998, pp. 47-57.
The article gives a comprehensive discussion of the process
used by the roam antelope to select its habitation. Naturally, the
selection of habitat by this antelope species is mainly done by
the breeding herd over summer and winter. Within the article, a
discussion has been done about the effect of winter and summer
on these antelope populations.
In the study of animal behavior, this source provides relevant
information which can be applied in several ways. From this
article, it is evident that animal behavior changes in accordance
with the surrounding and the changing climate. The paper has
valuable information which can be applied in managing antelope
behavior. Information can be modified and used to study the
behavior of other animals as the need may be.

analysis of coadaptation in behavior, diet, and body size in the
African antelope.” Behavioral Ecology, vol. 11, no. 4, 2000, pp.
452-463.
This article focuses on investigating the relationship between
animal body size, their diet, and survival tactics I relation to the
habitat surrounding. The African antelope has been used as the
case study for this research. The authors assumed that the body
mass of an antelope is positively related to the group sizes. This
9. theory was supported by data from the research. However, the
research characteristics were weakly linked via a
phylogenetically corrected psychotherapy.
From this article, it can be seen that physical investigation of
various behavioral traits relating the adaptation of the African
antelope to their habitations can be done through a number of
approaches. This source employs both the qualitative and
quantitative methods of research to compare for the animal
populations being studied.

In this article, the authors present the outcomes on the
adaptation and feeding behaviors of the desert monkey species
also commonly called the addax. The objective of this resource
was to investigate the digestive system of this monkey species.
There is a detailed analysis of the adaptations of the monkey’s
tract to the hostile desert conditions.
In relation to the proposed study of animal behavior, this article
will be an invaluable source of information. Analysis from the
resource will be handy when determining the association
between animal feeding behavior, its environment and the
adaptations of the digestive system according to its habitat.
Through this article, an explanation of the adaptations to
particular feeding systems will be examined.

Survival Plan Contributions to Research and Reintroduction of
Addax Addax nasomaculatus.” International Zoo Yearbook, vol.
32, no. 1, 2007, pp. 91-98.
Different traits of the antelope species known by the scientific
name Addax nasomaculatus are analyzed in this article. In
particular, various aspects of the animal’s life discussed in this
article include feeding behavior, selection, and the general
10. mechanisms that enable an animal to adapt to a given
environment. No doubt, this reading gives an insight into the
life of antelopes and researchers seeking to understand the
psychology of animals, particularly the antelopes will find it
very useful.
The literature on animal psychology provided in this article can
aid my research in many scientific perspectives. For instance,
this information will be handy in doing an analysis of animal
behavior within the realms of reproduction, diet, and
environmental adaptation among others. Further, the article
forms a good foundation to examine antelope behavior in
relation to their internal and external threats, habitats,
conservation as well as the distribution of their populations.
