Abstract There is a growing body of research indicating that drones can disturb animals. However, it is usually unclear whether the disturbance is due to visual or auditory cues. Here, we examined the effect of drone flights on the behavior of great dusky swifts Cypseloides senex and white-collared swifts Streptoprocne zonaris in 2 breeding sites where drone noise was obscured by environmental noise from waterfalls and any disturbance must be largely visual. We performed 12 experimental flights with a multirotor drone at different vertical, horizontal, and diagonal distances from the colonies. From all flights, 17% caused <1% of birds to temporarily abandon the breeding site, 50% caused half to abandon, and 33% caused more than half to abandon. We found that the diagonal distance explained 98.9% of the variability of the disturbance percentage and while at distances >50 m the disturbance percentage does not exceed 20%, at <40 m the disturbance percentage increase to > 60%. We recommend that flights with a multirotor drone during the breeding period should be conducted at a distance of >50 m and that recreational flights should be discouraged or conducted at larger distances (e.g. 100 m) in nesting birds areas such as waterfalls, canyons, and caves.

This study aims to determine the effect of group membership (outgroup, Ex-outgroup) and length of stay (long, short) to intergroup sensitivity effect (ISE). Earlier ISE studies only focused on outgroup and ingroup critics, and showed that outgroup critics tend to be rejected and perceived more negative than ingroup critic. This quasi-experiment study further examined critics from outgroup and ex-outgroup (N = 185, Mage = 21,58). ISE is measured by the degree of likeability, constructiveness, negativity, and agreeableness to critic from outgroup and ex-outgroup. We predict that critic from outgroup will reveal a stronger ISE than ex-outgroup critic who had stayed longer in Indonesia. The results showed that there are significant effects of group membership status to agreeableness, and length of stay to constructiveness. Furthermore, the interaction between the critic and length of stay affects only occurred when the speaker’s length of stay is short.

This study aimed to determine changes in the level of anxiety and the level of dependency Activity Daily Living ( ADL ) after cognitive therapy in patients with mental disorders. This research method is Quasi Experiment study, pretest and posttest mean cognitive design.Therapy can reduce the level of anxiety, while not statistically significant for patients with mental disorders at the Hospital Grhasia DIY. As for the fulfillment ADL disorders in patients with mental disorders either average or of calculation is statistically significantly may improve fulfillment ADL independently. The results study can suggested to readers that: Hospitals should promote cognitive therapy for patients with depression and anxiety disorder ADL compliance.
