  • Introduction to Oceanography 18K2g03
    INTRODUCTION TO OCEANOGRAPHY 18K2G03 __________________________________________________________________________ UNIT I: Oceanography: Nature and scope –Distribution of Land and Sea, Surface configuration of the floor-Continental shelf-Continental Slope-Deep Sea Plain-Oceanic Deeps and Trenches INTRODUCTION Oceanography , scientific discipline concerned with all aspects of the world’s oceans and seas, including their physical and chemical properties, their origin and geologic framework, and the life forms that inhabit the marine environment . Traditionally, oceanography has been divided into four separate but related branches: physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, marine geology, and marine ecology. Physical oceanography deals with the properties of seawater (temperature, density, pressure, and so on), its movement (waves, currents, and tides), and the interactions between the ocean waters and the atmosphere. Chemical oceanography has to do with the composition of seawater and the biogeochemical cycles that affect it. Marine geology focuses on the structure, features, and evolution of the ocean basins. Marine ecology, also called biological oceanography, involves the study of the plants and animals of the sea, including life cycles and food production. Oceanography is the sum of these several branches. Oceanographic research entails the sampling of seawater and marine life for close study, the remote sensing of oceanic processes with aircraft and Earth-orbiting satellites, and the exploration of the seafloor by means of deep-sea drilling and seismic profiling of the terrestrial crust below the ocean bottom. Greater knowledge of the world’s oceans enables scientists to more accurately predict, for example, long-term weather and climatic changes and also leads to more efficient exploitation of the Earth’s resources. Oceanography also is vital to understanding the effect of pollutants on ocean waters and to the preservation of the quality of the oceans’ waters in the face of increasing human demands made on them.

    Ministry of Health and Human Services Federal Republic of Somalia SOMALI ROADMAP TOWARDS UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE 2019-23 November 2018 1 | P a g e Somali Roadmap towards Universal Health Coverage (2019-23) Ministry of Health Federal Republic of Somalia SOMALI ROADMAP TOWARDS UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE (2019-23) @November 2018 Somali Roadmap towards Universal Health Coverage (2019-23) Produced by: Ministry of Health, Federal Republic of Somalia (FRS) and State Ministries of Health Supported by: Government of Japan and World Health Organization, Somalia For more information, please visit: Web: https://www.who.int/countries/som/en/ and http://moh.gov.so/en/ ii | P a g e Somali Roadmap towards Universal Health Coverage (2019-23) MESSAGE FROM FEDERAL MINISTER OF HEALTH Ensuring that all Somali people can access the health services they need – without facing financial hardship – is key to improving the well-being of Somali people. However, universal health coverage (UHC) is more than that: it is an investment in human capital and a foundational driver of inclusive and sustainable economic growth and development. It is a way to support Somali people so they can reach their full potential and fulfil their aspirations. Progress towards UHC is a continuous process that changes in response to shifting demographic, epidemiological and technological trends, as well as people’s expectations. The goal of the service coverage dimension of UHC is that people in need of promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative or palliative health services receive them, and that the services received are of sufficient quality to achieve potential health gains. A UHC service coverage index – a single indicator computed from tracer indicators of coverage of essential services – was developed to monitor SDG indicator 3.8.1 by the World Bank and WHO.

It can infect animals, humans, and birds, as well as ticks, and it has a worldwide geographical distribution. To better understand the epidemiology of C. burnetii in Somalia, ticks infesting camels were collected from five different regions, including Bari, Nugaal, Mudug, Sool, and Sanaag, between January and March 2018. Collected ticks were tested for C. burnetii and Coxiella-like endosymbiont DNA by using IS1111, icd, and Com1-target Citation: Frangoulidis, D.; Kahlhofer, C.; Said, A.S.; Osman, A.Y.; PCR assays.
