Intrapartum Oxytocin (Mis)use in South Asia
|
Oxytocin is a natural hormone with uterine stimulant properties that plays a prominent role in obstetric practice. Clinical guidelines for oxytocin use intrapartum emphasise that injudicious use has serious potential for adverse outcomes for mother and baby. Oxytocin is readily available in South Asia and widely used in ways that flout these guidelines. Yet recommendations for active management of third stage of labour (AMTSL) include the administration of oxytocin to prevent post-partum haemorrhage (PPH). Troublingly, these proposals seem to ignore oxytocin's already extensive life independent of policy interventions. Taking oxytocin as an example, the paper argues that policy-makers urgently need to engage with the everyday realities of drug availability and use in South Asia.

Cohort Profile: The 1982 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort Study
|
Pelotas is a city in the extreme south of Brazil, near the border of Uruguay, with 214 000 urban inhabitants in 1982. At the time, we were assistant professors, each working in one of the two medical schools in the city, and both undergoing post-graduate training at the University of London. We were inspired by the findings of the British perinatal study, and one of us (FCB) decided to do a similar study for his doctoral thesis. The lack of reliable data on perinatal mortality in Brazil, due to poor registration of births and deaths—particularly stillbirths— justified the launch of the study. Funding from the International Development Research Center (Canada) was obtained for the perinatal survey, which led to FCB’s PhD thesis. 1,2

A majority of the women who contracted Zika in the first or second trimester were still pregnant at the time of the report in early April. Other research has found that pregnant women infected with the Zika virus during their first trimester face as high as a 13 percent chance that their fetus will develop microcephaly.

Ḣarim and Ḣijab: Seclusive and exclusive aspects of traditional Muslim dwelling and dress

Abstract Architectural constructs of the family dwelling and styles of women's outer garments for public wear are intricately intertwined with the sociocultural framework within which both women and men function. Although conventionally regarded as restrictions on women's free movement in society, it is also apparent that in the Muslim world dwelling and dress may be, and indeed are, used to advantage by women as a means of retaining privacy from male intrusion and for exerting power in a society ostensibly controlled by men.

Naming, Claiming, and Framing Marie Chauvet
|
Abstract:This essay offers a metacritical reading of the discourses surrounding Haitian author Marie Chauvet (1916–1973). I argue that paying attention to the naming (how she is described), claiming (how scholars and authors define their investment in her work), and framing (how her work is analyzed by scholars) of Chauvet reveals a dominant discourse that influences our study of the author. Taking a feminist approach to the interpretations of her work, I argue that ultimately these Chauvet narratives reveal more about anxieties surrounding gender than they do about her body of work.

A Feminist Study of Katherine Anne Porter and Her Female Characters
|
This thesis mainly discusses the Southern American female writer Katherine Anne Porter and some of her short stories, in which female characters play a dominant role. Through a feminist study of her female characters, this thesis attempts to establish her position as an early feminist writer and ascertain her outstanding achievements in female writing. Besides her commonly acknowledged writing techniques, here the author would give prominence to her subject matters, which invariably focus on the conflicts between female illusions and the real, patriarchal world, their rebellion to the otherness imposed on their mind, and their self awareness which is often developed into a practical self-realization.

Resistance to Implementing Gender Mainstreaming in EU Research Policy
|
In this article, we analyze the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Union (EU) through the study of ‘resistance’ to gender equality initiatives in EU research policy. Contributing to feminist institutionalist theories, we identify resistance to gender initiatives within the Directorate General Research and Innovation, showing that there have been obstacles to an effective implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Commission’s 6th Framework Programme (FP6). We argue that the encountered resistances reveal tensions between the European Commission’s official mandate of mainstreaming gender equality into all policies and its actual implementation, which results in the ‘filtering out’ of transformative gender equality goals.

Competing Ethical Communities and a Researcher’s Dilemma: The Case of a Sexual Harasser
|
Ethical research communities provide important guidance for those conducting communication research projects. However, researchers face serious ethical dilemmas when their memberships in multiple ethical communities create conflicting ethical obligations. The present study explores conflicting demands between competing ethical communities to provide a series of reflexive questions researchers can ask themselves as they negotiate the contradictory terrain of their ethical communities. To accomplish this task, the authors explore the ethical dilemmas faced by one researcher as she conducted research on sexual harassment.

Gender in International Relations: Interdisciplinarity and the Study of Conflict

Gender and conflict is a growing area of study. The authors show how an empirical and theoretical focus on gender and its multifaceted meanings yields entirely different explanations of conflict than traditionally understood. They highlight especially the ways in which attention to women and men, femininities and masculinities, gender norms, and gender relations challenges given categories in International Relations such as levels of analysis, and reconceptualizes security along a “continuum of violence”

Forest fire cycles and life tables: a case study from interior Alaska
|
The negative exponential and Wiebull distributions were used to estimate stand survivorship curves for forested sites in the Porcupine River drainage of interior Alaska. The survivorship curve of Piceaglauca (Moench) Voss sites was best described by a Wiebull function, while both functions adequately described the Piceamariana (Mill.) Britton, Sterns & Poggenburg hardwood and all sites stand survivorship curve. Fire cycles calculated from the Wiebull distribution were 43, 113, 36, and 26 years for the entire study area, P. glauca, P. mariana, and hardwood sites, respectively. Fire frequencies estimated from a life table analysis were 48, 105, 43, and 30 years, respectively. The relationship between fire cycle and fire frequency calculations is discussed and various management implications are given.

Although improving economic conditions are reflected by increased mill roundwood consumption during 2011, the forest industry’s economic contribution improved slightly but not across all states. At the regional scale, the sector displayed a downward trend in employment, value added, and number of active primary mills.

Three different patent types exhibit increasing trends, using monthly time series data from our samples. ”New design” patents also show time-varying volatility but other types of patents fail to reject the ARCH LM test. Findings show the asymmetric EGARCH model suitable for “new design” patent type through out of sample forecasts.

Traditional and innovative experimental and clinical trial designs and their advantages and pitfalls.
|
Many study designs and design variants have been developed in the past to either overcome or enhance drug-placebo differences in clinical trials or to identify and characterize placebo responders in experimental studies. They share many commonalities as well as differences that are discussed here: the role of deception and ethical restrictions, habituation effects and the control of the natural course of disease, assay sensitivity testing and effective blinding, acceptability and motivation of patients and volunteers, and the development of individualized medicine. These are fostered by two opposite strategies: utilizing the beneficial aspects of the placebo response-and avoiding its negative counterpart, the nocebo effect-in medical routine for the benefit of patients, and minimizing-by controlling-the negative aspects of the placebo effect during drug development.

great book for teaching the younger groups that do not know much. I was looking for some sort of workshop book or something for them to study, this is the best they have to offer when it comes to pagan books that I have found.
The only reason there is not a 5 star is because I feel it might become hard to use this set of books if you are not studying their beliefs. Pagan yes, but not all pagans will find it helpful.

My 17 month old daughter loves books. I recently bought her a new selection and this was one of them. It keeps her busy and she can study the different pages and recognize body parts such as hands, teeth, etc. She also likes to play peek-a-boo with the baby at the end.
My only complaint is that I've had the book for less than a month and with repeated readings a few pieces tore out and I had to tape them back in. I know that is a possibility with little hands and lift-the-flap type of books but I thought this was awful soon. My daughter loves her books and doesn't throw them around or rip or tear at them.

What is mathematical modelling? Exploring prospective teachers’ use of experiments to connect mathematics to the study of motion
|
This paper focuses on the construction, development, and use of mathematical models by prospective science and mathematics teachers enrolled in a university physics course. By studying their involvement in an inquiry-based, experimental approach to learning kinematics, we address a fundamental question about the meaning and role of abstraction in modelling when such approaches involve students encountering and resolving experimental error. We use a “tensions” framework to explore the capability of learners to make necessary connections between abstract mathematical models and physical phenomena.

This paper describes what a sample of university teachers in science conceive to be the role of memorising and the relationship between memorising and understanding in their disciplines. Sixteen, purposively selected university teachers were interviewed in depth. The university teachers were from three disciplines--mathematics, physiology and physics. Analysis of the data was undertaken from a phenomenographic perspective (Marton, 1988) and indicates a set of conceptions of memorising including memorising as rote learning for reproduction, as facilitating learning--a way to progress--and as a key component of the learning process. Opposing views of the relationship between memorising and understanding were expressed; these were viewed either as unrelated processes or as dynamically interwoven.
|
We extend an earlier study on the role of memorising in learning science with three case studies on mathematicians’ experiences as learners of mathematics and their views on memorising in students’ learning. Each report reflects a different view of memorising — from a minimal role in learning mathematics, to a ‘stepping stone’ role to memorising as a key learning strategy. The mathematicians’ views about memorising in their students’ learning appears consistent with their reports on memorising in their own learning. Our data leads to the conjecture that personal experiences of memorising underpin attitudes to memorising in teaching mathematics and that further investigation is warranted on this little researched aspect of “coming to know” mathematics.

Children's ability to solve measurement problems was studied in two experiments. We hypothesized that children's reasoning would be significantly influenced by the measuring tool used. In the case of length, the conventional tool (ruler) was expected to support reasoning more effectively than the nonconventional tool (string). In the case of area, the conventional procedure (measuring length and width and multiplying) was expected to prove more demanding than the use of the nonconventional tool (bricks) because of its indirect relationship to the dimension measured. Both predictions were supported by the findings, which cannot be explained only in terms of the children's developmental level.

The present study deals with teaching the concept and measurement of area. 106 subjects of the 6th grade of Greek Elementary School measured the area of different kinds of shapes. The subjects were divided into two groups, an experimental group and a control group. In the experimental group, area evaluation was taught in a way that highlighted the conceptual characteristics of area measurement. The teaching intervention and the use of different measurement tools led to different measurement strategies. Moreover, the experimental group used more successful strategies than the control group.

This study is concerned with the first experiences of in-service mathematics teachers in consuming scholarly mathematics education literature. Growing from the meta-didactical transposition model (Arzarello et al. 2014), we were interested in the praxeologies that may develop from teachers’ engagement with research articles. The data were collected in a cohort of thirteen teachers who read, interpreted, critiqued, and designed a follow-up to an empirical article as part of a master’s level course in mathematics education. The teachers reported that such a consumption of research contributed to the expansion of their mathematical knowledge, instigated changes in their teaching of particular concepts, and provided them with ideas for enacting this change. Furthermore, we explore how engagement with an article shaped the teachers’ understandings about research in mathematics education.

Although policy documents promote teaching students multiple strategies for solving mathematics problems, some practitioners and researchers argue that struggling learners will be confused and overwhelmed by this instructional practice. In the current exploratory study, we explore how 6 struggling students viewed the practice of learning multiple strategies at the end of a yearlong algebra course that emphasized this practice. Interviews with these students indicated that they preferred instruction with multiple strategies to their regular instruction, often noting that it reduced their confusion. We discuss directions for future research that emerged from this work.

The authors review what is known about early and universal algebra, including who is getting access to algebra and student outcomes associated with algebra course taking in general and specifically with universal algebra policies. The findings indicate that increasing numbers of students, some of whom are underprepared, are taking algebra earlier. At the same time, other students with requisite skills are not given access to algebra. Although studies using nationally representative data indicate strong positive outcomes for students who take algebra early, studies conducted only in contexts where all students are mandated to take algebra in eighth or ninth grade provide mixed evidence of positive outcomes, with increased achievement when policies include strong supports for struggling students. The authors conclude with a call for studies that examine the relationship among algebra policies, instruction, and student outcomes to understand the mechanisms by which policies can lead to success for all students.

Writing in Math: A Disciplinary Literacy Approach
|
ABSTRACTMathematics teachers often resist generic literacy strategies because they do not seem relevant to math learning. Discipline-specific literacy practices that emerge directly from the math content and processes under study are more likely to be embraced by math teachers. Furthermore, national and state-level mathematics standards as well as Common Core standards provide frameworks for situating literacy practices squarely within the disciplines. A disciplinary literacy approach to writing in math requires teachers to develop innovative strategies and practices that link writing to particular mathematical processes and tasks. An example is shared of a math writing approach developed by a middle school teacher used to prompt her students' critical thinking and problem solving processes during the study of algebra. She designed a template that when completed can serve as a reflective tool for her students and provide the teacher useful feedback on their learning. The example of teaching with the templ...

Self-Regulation and Mathematics Instruction
|
Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of research-based interventions that incorporate self-regulation strategies to improve mathematics performance of students with learning disabilities (LD). Self-regulation is a metacognitive function essential to academic success. Students with LD are notoriously poor at self-regulation and must be taught explicitly to monitor and control their cognitive activities as they engage in academic tasks such as mathematical problem solving. This article describes intervention studies that use self-regulation strategies to improve mathematics performance of students with LD at the elementary, middle, and secondary school levels. Several techniques to facilitate effective implementation of self-regulation instruction in the classroom are presented.

A Case Analysis of an Elementary School's Implementation of Response to Intervention.
|
The study provides an illustration of an elementary school's implementation of a model of Response to Intervention (RTI). The school was selected to be the pilot for RTI implementation within the district. The study employed interviews of all members of the school RTI Leadership Team and select members of the district-level RTI Leadership Team. An inductive, thematic analysis of participants' testimony revealed critical features and contextual issues related to RTI implementation. Major themes included the widespread frustration of participants with traditional prereferral and referral systems regarding special education eligibility and services, careful development of a school implementation plan and process, new role and responsibility challenges given RTI implementation, and the importance of principal and teacher leadership. Participants also provided descriptions of implementation obstacles or barriers and perceived improvements in instruction and student learning. Limitations of the study (given dis...

Mathematics anxiety and mathematics teacher efficacy in elementary pre‐service teachers
|
This study investigated the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics teacher efficacy among 156 elementary pre‐service teachers from a university in the southeastern United States. Data sources included the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS), Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument, and pre‐service teacher interviews. Findings revealed a significant, negative relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics teachers’ efficacy (r = −.475, p<.05). Specifically, the pre‐service teachers with the lowest degree of mathematics anxiety had the highest levels of mathematics teacher efficacy. Interviews with pre‐service teachers indicated that their mathematics anxiety is associated with efficaciousness toward mathematics teaching practices and is the basis for their mathematics teaching efficacy beliefs.

The Analysis of Math Teaching Mode
|
The math teaching model of "three-in-one" is a teaching method of "self-study-inquiry-summed up".In the self-study process,the students first read the content by themselves,then the teachers explain the difficulties and summarize the key points;the contents of inquiry is to arouse the students' interest in their research and teachers conduct,give directions and correct errors with nothing omitted;the summarization part is to enable students to their own reasonable sum,and teachers analyze and evaluate it,then improve it comprehensively.To simplify complex issues is to change the difficult questions into the easy ones,and the examples into the exercises.Consider the examples in a comprehensive way,and find out the maximum method as well as the method when a certain term is changed.Carry out the multi-interactive activities of examples and exercises.

Gender Differences in Mathematics Participation: an Australian perspective
|
Summary Gender differences in many areas of participation in school are receding, but the gap favouring males in mathematics study in senior secondary school persists. This study attempted to identify some of the dimensions underlying gender differences in mathematics participation. The data from a survey of Years 10, 11 and 12 students at four high schools were used to examine the relationships between the gender differences in attitudes towards mathematics and the participation in senior school courses. The findings suggest that the separation of senior school mathematics into academic and non-academic subjects was more efficient for boys than for girls because in the junior years of high school boys develop more positive views of mathematics and of themselves as mathematics learners leading to them more often selecting the university-preferred options. Not all girls were disadvantaged, however. Girls from middle-class backgrounds, particularly those from professional and managerial origins, tended to r...

Parallel computing adds an extra dimension of complexity to the design of mathematical programming algorithms. This complexity complicates the comparison of algorithms and introduces an additional set of performance metrics. The paper by Barr and Hickman (BH) is well written as they have knitted together expert opinion and their own experience into a reasonable set of guidelines for avoiding the pitfalls that arise in the use of these metrics. BH motivate the guidelines with an insightful summary of fundamental parallel computer issues and how they relate to measuring algorithm effectiveness. Below we expand on those comments of BH which we have found especially relevant.

Case Study on the Fractional Scheme for enhancing the connection between the arithmetic and the algebraic thinking
|
We observed the process for solving linear equations of two 5th grade elementary students, who do not have any pre-knowledge about solving linear equation. The way of students' usage of fractional schemes and manipulations are closely observed. The change of their scheme adaptation are carefully analyzed while the coefficients and constants become complicated. The results showed that they used various fractional scheme and manipulations according to the coefficients and constants. Noticeably, they used repeating fractional schemes to establish the equivalence relation between unknowns and the given quantities. After establishing the relationship, equivalent fractions played important role. We expect the results of this study would help shorten the gap between the arithmetic and the algebraic thinking.

We present a parallel algorithm for the problem of computing the transitive closure for an acyclic digraph D with n vertices and m edges. We use the BSP/CGM model of parallel computing. Our algorithm uses O(log p) rounds of communications with p processors, where p n, and each processor has O(mn p ) local memory. The local computation of each processor is equal to the product of the number of edges and vertices of D that are stored in p.

A case study introducing dynamic programming in CS2
|
To assess students' understanding and the advantages gained in being introduced to the concepts of dynamic programming early in their computer science experience, students were introduced to dynamic programming in CS2. Two lab assignments, one homework assignment and one quiz were given following an introduction to the topic in our CS2 course, Data Structures with C++. Our results reveal that types of problems addressed were fully comprehensible and we expect this comprehension to lend itself to later success in an Algorithms and Advanced Data Structures course that explores dynamic programming in greater depth.

This might be a very stupid question but comes to mind when we encounter each and every topic of pure maths. Why we are studying this, what are the applications of this etc etc. The topics in the pure maths are abstract unlike applied mathematics. What will be the best answer satisfy a student of mathematics, to the question application of mathematics? Actually our mathematics teachers generally dont focus on applications in mathematics. Does this mean that mathematicians are more interested in the extension/generalization of previously known field or results rather than their applications?
|
I am trying to think/know about something, but I don't know if my base premise is plausible. Here we go. Sometimes when I'm talking with people about pure mathematics, they usually dismiss it because it has no practical utility, but I guess that according to the history of mathematics, the math that is useful today was once pure mathematics (I'm not so sure but I guess that when the calculus was invented, it hadn't a practical application). Also, I guess that the development of pure mathematics is important because it allows us to think about non-intuitive objects before encountering some phenomena that is similar to these mathematical non-intuitive objects, with this in mind can you provide me historical examples of pure mathematics becoming "useful"?

I know the definition of a category and know several examples. But I have not studied the theory of categories. Much of mathematics I studied can be written as a category and a functor. But for me, a category is just an organizational language. What is the merit of studying category theory? What can I obtain by reading Mac Lane's book? Is it necessary to learn category theory to be a good mathematician, especially for number theorists, algebraists, and topologists?
|
Okay, so I understand what calculus, linear algebra, combinatorics and even topology try to answer (update: this is not the case in hindsight), but why invent category theory? In Wikipedia it says it is to formalize. As far as I can tell, it sort of generalizes a bunch of fields in mathematics, like in topology, graphs and groups we have isomorphisms and automorphisms and homomorphisms, it seems to me like it just finds a bunch of results that are true to these functions in a bunch of disciplines. But why would generalizing that be of use? I mean, wouldn't it be easier to prove them specifically in each of the important disciplines?

I'm talking about topics such as model theory, proof theory, predicate calculus, Godel's incompleteness, ordinal numbers, large cardinals, etc. How much of these do I need to know if I want to specialize in some other areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology?

How much set theory and logic should typical algebraists/analysts/geometers know? (soft-question) I know enough amount of set theory and logic to study grad-level math. However, I don't know more advanced set theory and logic, such as the ones on Kunen's or Shoenfield's texts. Although it's good to learn such advanced topics, I may not have enough time to do so, since I will probably put my emphasis on algebra, analysis or geometry as well as mathematical physics. Although how much set theory and logic I should learn is totally up to what sort of analysis, algebra or geometry I will study, I want to know how much of them typical competitive algebraists/analysts/geometers know. If you are one of them, how much do you know?

As someone from a scientific education background I can't help but notice that while, for example, biology is mentioned (and at times important) in the Harry Potter books and potions (akin to chemistry), there are no mentions made of math courses. The logical explanation to me seems that as a writer, Rowling understood that for most of the target audience, maths won't be at the top of the list of interesting subjects. However, is there an in-universe explanation as to why mathematics seems absent from the wizarding world? What about Muggle-born kids who are taught and like math but are then shipped off to Hogwarts where, seemingly, math is a no-no?
|
I always wondered if children who graduate from Hogwarts have an education that is actually worth while in the real world. Do the children learn math and English? I can see History of Magic as practical. I know of Arithmancy, but that's the study of the magical properties of numbers, not math. Since Hogsmead is one of the very last all-magical towns, it's a fair assumption that a majority of the students at Hogwarts will be living in non-magical towns or cities. If practical classes (like math or English) aren't taught, then how do these students function in the non-magical cities?

define mathematical approach
|
Management Science Approach: Definition and Features! Management science approach, also known as mathematical or quantitative measurement approach, visualizes management as a logical entity, the action of which can be expressed in terms of mathematical symbols, relationships, and measurement data. The primary focus of this approach is the mathematical model.

This way the applications are the objects of. study, they are the nouns. The mathematical methods are the means, they are the adjectives. So I have taken economics as the central subject with mathematics providing the methods: I seek to let economics carry the mathematics as a truck would carry its cargo.

is math plural or singular
|
Math(ematic)s is really hard. Whilst a dictionary search shows that the word is singular but plural in form, it is most commonly used (in my experience) with a verb in singular form. Math(ematic)s is my least favourite subject. Math(ematic)s is really hard. This Ngram viewer helps: Link to Ngram.
|
Report Abuse. Maybe for the same reason why Mathematics is plural. Because the Mathematic science or study encompasses all MathematicS or MathS. I'm sure you know that math isn't just one thing but a collective science of different types of maths.

XXI. Astronomical observations on the periodical star in Collo Ceti
|
This remarkable star, we are told, "was first observed by David Fabricus, the 13th of August, 1596, who called it the stella mire, or wonderful star; which has been since found to appear and disappear, periodically, seven times in six years, continuing in the greatest lustre for fifteen days together, and is never quire extinguished." My own observations on this wonderful star are but few, yet sufficiently verify the surprizing appearances that have been ascribed to it.

Abstract Many human operations have created a large population of small orbital debris in near Earth environment. The threat they represent for satellites is a major factor for the preparation of future space missions. Several experiments devoted to the study of this environment, as well as various materials exposed to space, have been retrieved in the past few years. The analysis of the results shows some differences with previous modeling. Comparison with data from LDEF and from EURECA give some insight in the long term evolution of particle size distribution. Chemical identification of particle remnants inside craters is difficult but provides valuable information on the origin of the impactors. Permanent monitoring of environment is obviously needed, especially for the type of orbits where data are presently scarce ie. heliosynchronous and geostationary orbits.

what kind of stars are the cepheids
|
delta Cephei. The namesake star in the very important class of stars known as Cepheid variables, this star formed part of the original study in which Henrietta Leavitt first discovered that the periods of luminosity were related to their absolute luminosity.This has proved to be an important distance measuring tool.amed after delta-Cephei, Cepheid Variables are the most important type of variable because it has been discovered that their periods of variability are related to their absolute luminosity.
|
Classical Cepheids (also known as Population I Cepheids, type I Cepheids, or Delta Cepheid variables) undergo pulsations with very regular periods on the order of days to months. Classical Cepheids are Population I variable stars which are 4â20 times more massive than the Sun, and up to 100,000 times more luminous.lassical Cepheids and type II Cepheids follow different period-luminosity relationships. The luminosity of type II Cepheids is, on average, less than classical Cepheids by about 1.5 magnitudes (but still brighter than RR Lyrae stars).

how old are stars
|
The age of an individual star can vary; they were all made at different times and have different life spans. Stars can range from a few million to a several billion years old. The oldest star yet discovered, HE 1523-0901, is an estimated 13.2 billion years old.
|
Young stars and nebulosity in Chamaeleon, a constellation visible predominantly in the southern sky. A new study of young (T-Tauri) stars in this region has determined their ages as being between about five - six million years old, as well as determining other properties.

what is the difference between an ocean and sea
|
Best Answer: An ocean is: a large body of water constituting a principal part of the hydrosphere. And oceans are the largest division of open water. A sea is: a division of an ocean or a large body of salt water partially enclosed by land Hence a sea is a smaller division of open water, and attached to an ocean.
|
In terms of geography, a sea is part of the ocean partially enclosed by land. Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. Here, you can see that the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean.Many people use the terms ocean and sea interchangeably when speaking about the ocean, but there is a difference between the two terms when speaking of geography (the study of the Earth's surface).Seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet.n terms of geography, a sea is part of the ocean partially enclosed by land. Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. Here, you can see that the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean.

what are the six physical continents
|
Thus, these six continents are Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, and South America. Geographers divide the planet into regions, and generally not continents, for ease of study. Various geographers have various definitions of these world regions.
|
Some geographers list only six continents, combining Europe and Asia into Eurasia. In parts of the world, students learn that there are just five continents: Eurasia, Australia, Africa, Antarctica, and the Americas.

Following a custom she maintained throughout her widowhood, Victoria spent the Christmas of 1900 at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Rheumatism in her legs had rendered her lame, and her eyesight was clouded by cataracts. Through early January, she felt "weak and unwell", and by mid-January she was "drowsy ... dazed, [and] confused". She died on Tuesday, 22 January 1901, at half past six in the evening, at the age of 81. Her son and successor King Edward VII, and her eldest grandson, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, were at her deathbed. Her favourite pet Pomeranian, Turri, was laid upon her deathbed as a last request.
