Spatial and temporal bottom sediment characteristics of Pahang river estuary, Pahang, Malaysia by Abdurahman, Siti Waznah, Yunus, Kamaruzzaman, Ong, Meng Chuan, Zabri, Rina Sharlinda, Md Suhaimi, Mohd Zahir

“…The sediment mean size becomes finer towards the estuarine area with the range of very coarse sand to fine silt. This indicates that the characteristics of deposited sediments at each station are much dependant upon the combination of physical forces such as freshwater run-off, tidal currents and waves.…”

Feminist pedagogy in higher education - implications for learning and teaching in early childhood education teacher training by Baynham, Hannah

“…This paper will argue that educators should be crusaders for feminist dialogue, not only in our work with each other but the children of the next generation. It is this link and use of critical pedagogies which enables education for social justice, and provides opportunities for more voices to participate in the system of education, whether in early years, or in HE.…”
