« on: 21/02/2018 20:46:10 »
If fever help us fight an infection why take drugs to lover the fever ?
Isn t it better to let a little bit of fever run its course as it is a natural way to fight an infection ?

I am speaking about small fever like 38 for a human not dangerous case where fever go to high
thanks

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / How many research subjects do you need for a study to be statistically valid?
« on: 08/02/2018 22:42:05 »
Hello,
When publishing research paper how do scientist know how many subject they will need for their study to be valid ?
I am intersting in dog behaviour and training subject for example.
Claudia Fugazza publish a paper.
http://www.academia.edu/18023840/Do_as_I_..._Did_Long-term_memory_of_imitative_actions_in_dogs_Canis_familiaris_
She used 12 subject for her study.(and 12 other for comparaison How did she know that around this number it would be enough subject to be valid ?

Thanks

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Are any other animals like dogs, where smaller breeds outlive larger ones?
« on: 04/02/2018 22:36:14 »
Hello,

We know that within the dog world the lifespan of smaller breed dog are significantly longer than large breed dog.
Is it the same within other species ?

My neighbour speaks Dutch, but only to her very well-trained Anglo-Hungarian dog. No problem, except for the local vet nurses, or when she leaves the dog with a friend or boarding kennel.

Guys and Girls, I totally agree that a dog can be trained in any language. They don t understand the words anyway they just recognise a sound that they associate with a behaviour.
I am french speaking i speak french to my dog (a labrador) but I live in a dutch speaking area.
When I go to the park my dog understand also command in dutch an even english (what lab won t do for a treat)


But my question remains. If you looks at video on youtube or cops show (american one). Most of the commands are given in german for german shepherd and dutch for Belgium Malinois.

You often see police dog trained in different language that the police is speaking.
I have never seen a dog trained in a language that differed from the handler's (or owner's) mother tongue.
Can you cite evidence?

My evidence are cops show or youtube video :)
Like on LivePD show and thinks like this
For youtube

What I mean by native language is the language of their country of origin.

Hello,

You often see police dog trained in different language that the police is speaking.
For example german shepherd are trained in German.
Belgium Malinois in dutch and so on.

Is there any scientific study (if yes could you provide the name or a link to the study) that show that there is an advantage to train the dog (for lack of better word) in their native tongue ?

Thanks
