Maps represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional surface, inevitably introducing some distortion. Different map projections attempt to minimize this distortion in different ways, prioritizing accuracy of shapes, areas, or distances depending on the projection. No single projection can accurately depict the entire globe without compromising some property of geographic accuracy.Map Reading

This document provides an overview of key concepts for understanding topographic maps, including:
- Contour lines connect points of equal elevation and are used to show elevation changes on topographic maps. Contour interval is the difference in elevation between lines.
- Steeper slopes are shown by closer contour line spacing, while more gentle slopes have lines farther apart. Contour lines never cross and have specific shapes depending on terrain features.
- Topographic maps also use symbols, colors, and index contours to represent landforms and elevation information. These maps provide important data for understanding Earth's surface features and elevation.Map scale and projection

This document discusses map scale and projections. It defines scale as the relationship between distances on a map and in reality. Scale can be indicated graphically using a bar scale or fractionally as a ratio. Larger scale maps show smaller areas in greater detail while smaller scale maps show larger areas with less detail. Map projections transfer the spherical Earth onto a flat surface, inevitably introducing some distortion of shapes, sizes or distances. Different projections prioritize conformality, equivalence or other properties depending on the map's intended use.BOLTSS - Mapping Geography

This document provides an overview of key map skills, including compass directions, scale, grid references, contour lines, symbols, and measuring distance. It explains that a map shows features of a place and uses lines of longitude and latitude to form a grid reference system. Contour lines are used to represent height or elevation since maps cannot display three-dimensional terrain. Symbols simplify features and a map scale allows measurement of real-world distances based on the scale ratio. Measuring distance involves using a scale to determine real-world lengths between two points on a map.Class1b

Road maps and navigational maps like aeronautical and nautical charts are the most widely used maps. Local surveys by municipalities and other local agencies produce the largest number of map sheets. Many national surveying projects have also been carried out by military organizations like the British Ordnance Survey, which is renowned for its detailed work. Maps use a geographic grid of longitude and latitude to locate features and describe areas. The scale of a map defines the relationship between distances on the map and on the earth. A cross-section can show landscape height variations by plotting contour lines intersecting a transect line.Maps And Globes Are Models Of The Earth

Maps provide pictures of areas and regions that can tell us many things through correct interpretation. The Earth is approximately a sphere, and locations on its surface are commonly described using latitude and longitude, which are angular distances measured from the center. The Earth is most accurately described as an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. Observation of changes in the altitude of Polaris as one moves north or south provides evidence that the Earth is spherical.Map and globe skills

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain
Ìý
The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.Chapter 3. Social Responsibility and Ethics in Strategic Management.pptx

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.SOCIAL CHANGE(a change in the institutional and normative structure of societ...

Reading & interpreting maps notes
- 1. Reading & Interpreting Maps 9/28-29/11
- 2. Common Types of Maps General Reference – ‘compromise’ maps that show world layout Projections – transfer the round globe to a flat paper to show true area, distance, shape, direction, etc. Charting maps – used for navigation Topical Maps – focus on a single topic Cartograms – show statistics Topographic Maps! – Show elevation and physical features of land (natural and manmade)
- 3. Hemispheres - using the equator and prime meridian, the world is divided into 4 hemispheres – North/South, East/West
- 4. Compass A compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed. On a map, a compass or a compass rose helps the user locate these directions. There are four cardinal directions on a compass - North, South, East & West. In between are the directions northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest.
- 5. Compass Rose The needle on a compass is magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. The Magnetic North Pole strays slightly from True North, the point where Earth’s center axis is. The difference between these 2 points is called Magnetic Declination Source: http://aerocompass.larc.nasa.gov
- 6. Scale Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance. For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.
- 7. Scale
- 8. Time Zones The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day. As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day. Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.
