Q3 These types of questions are not only a divider of the oneness, but also a hasty generalisation. Certain conclusions are impact created by the well frogs. For example, once I used to go regularly to meet my friends around Besant Nagar; and in afew days , wherever I went, I heard someone in that home was in the USA. At that age, a thought began to descend on me that major US residents are only from Besant Nagar. Is that or was that correct?. So also Tamil, Telugu, Eng coolleges were started only because etc. 2020 statistics show that Telugu speaking residents are about 6 Lakhs; Tamil 4 lakhs; and Gujaratis 15 Lakhs; so whether the question and answer is correct?. KR 261122 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q4 I don't know why Siberian Baikal is only taken and not the conditions of Siberia is not considered?. Apart from it ,the ice freezing is a physics and chemistry phenomena, and freezing progressive, is equally regressive and unpredictable, are ignored here. Many who skated were gobbled into the blocks, showing solid conditions are altering in nature. The ice was magic ; how all those little white bubbles got in there. But ice is not magic. It’s chemistry and physics. Ice formation begins in late summer, when the upper layer of the lake begins cooling. In this process, called turnover, the cooling water becomes denser and heavier, sinking toward the bottom and forcing warmer, lighter water to the surface. The cooling and sinking process continues until, one day in November or December, the whole lake reaches 39.2 degrees, the point at which water reaches its maximum density. After the lake reaches this tipping point, as its surface water is exposed to freezing air, the water molecules expand and become less dense. This allows them to float above the 39 degree water. When they cool to 32 degrees, small discs form. If the wind stays down, these discs branch out into tree-like shapes that expand across the surface of the water until the whole cove or pond is covered by a thin skim. Once the lake has frozen over, the progress of ice formation slows. As long as the air stays colder than the ice, the ice grows thicker; however, each new centimeter of ice requires more cooling than the last one to form, because the water below is better insulated. Eventually, the ice is thick enough to act as a complete insulator. Without further energy loss from the lake, the water beneath remains chilly, but liquid, 39 degrees. Incidentally, there’s beautiful language involved with the science of limnology, or freshwater lakes. Our northern lakes are monomictic, meaning they mix, or turn over, once a year. The layers have names, too: the surface is the epilimnion; the bottom layer is the hypolimnion, and the water in between is the metalimnion. Black ice – hard, strong, and smooth – is the skater’s joy. It forms slowly under calm conditions. Individual crystals grow downward and are closely packed, which keeps out impurities (like air bubbles). It’s called black because it is transparent, and the water below absorbs most or all of the light. On black ice, every stroke of a skater’s blade leaves a tracing of white. But large lakes rarely freeze black and smooth. A slight wind or wave motion breaks the skim into what is sometimes called frazil ice <https://www.adirondackalmanack.com/2015/02/the-hudson-rivers-mysterious-frazil-ice.html>, a mush of needles that collect into round pans surrounded by water. Ice formed this way, or during a snowstorm, is white and rough. The noise made by a frozen lake seems ominous to many, but it never sounded so to me. Growing up on a lake, I enjoyed the booming sounds the ice made at night as it contracted, and the groaning sounds of the ice expanding during the day. Unfortunately, full freezes are becoming less frequent. While Lake Champlain froze over in 2014 and 2015, it had not frozen two years in a row for a decade before that. This year, the lakes got a late start. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, freeze dates have shifted later and thaw dates have shifted earlier, in a trend that began as early as the mid-19th century. The rate of warming in the northeastern United States has increased in the last four decades. KR IRS 261122 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q7 Another unscientific appreciation of modern medicine and projecting the old generations as nonsense, by such illiterates today, who wear the masks of the well educated. Pregnancy and delivery of the baby is a natural process, but in that process, deaths and maiming do occur, which is again in the nature; knowing fully well all these only, women want to deliver babies; hence they are the greatest on earth. The percentages of death and other factors by quantum may look different from the percentage calculations, due to the variations in the population. The Ayurveda vaidyaas and the village ladies expertise in delivering the babies (except few cheaters) was remarkable and the patter does continue till date with DGOs also, Now: Causes of maternal death:(UNO data) Haemorrhage remains the leading cause of maternal mortality, accounting for over one quarter (27 per cent) of deaths. Similar proportion of maternal deaths were caused indirectly by pre-existing medical conditions aggravated by the pregnancy. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, especially eclampsia, as well as sepsis, embolism and complications of unsafe abortion also claim a substantial number of lives.The complications leading to maternal death can occur without warning at any time during pregnancy and childbirth. Most maternal deaths can be prevented if births are attended by skilled health personnel – doctors, nurses or midwives – who are regularly supervised, have the proper equipment and supplies, and can refer women in a timely manner to emergency obstetric care when complications are diagnosed. Complications require prompt access to quality obstetric services equipped with life-saving drugs, including antibiotics, and the ability to provide blood transfusions needed to perform Caesarean sections or other surgical interventions. The causes of maternal death are mostly preventable. The stat means that death is still persisting whether in Europe or Africa but the quantum of survival alone is projected, without mentioning the consequences of their impending health. In 10000 BCE it was no different. Valmiki Ramayanam did not report any failure of delivery; Mahabhartahm speaks of child delivery recovered in 100 children by medical recovery. And if any one were to say that as a cock and bull story, I challenge any doctor DGO to declare that all deliveries attended by her or him were successful or even in recovery totally all mothers were healthier thereafter. The lifetime risk of maternal death is the probability that a 15-year-old girl will die from complications of pregnancy or childbirth over her lifetime; it takes into account both the maternal mortality ratio and the total fertility rate (average number of births per woman during her reproductive years under current age-specific fertility rates). Thus, in a high-fertility setting, a woman faces the risk of maternal death multiple times, and her lifetime risk of death will be higher than in a low-fertility setting. Similar to maternal mortality ratio, the lifetime risk of maternal death varies largely across countries. In 2017, the lifetime risk of maternal death in low income countries as a whole was 1 in 45, compared to 1 in 5,400 in high-income countries. Among regions, women in sub-Saharan Africa face the highest lifetime risk (1 in 38), followed by South Asia (1 in 240). KR IRS 261122 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
