The International Council of Women (ICW) is the first women's organization to work in the international scene at the beginning of the 20th century. Ever since its establishment, the organization has been at the forefront of bringing worldwide attention to the issue of women's rights and leading the battle against gender-based social injustice. In that sense, the ultimate goal is the creation of a happier, safer and more egalitarian world for all. 2, record 1, English, - International%20Council%20of%20Women

Durant l'automne et l'hiver, le refroidissement et le vent causent des mélanges et une homogénéisation des couches supérieures de l'océan. Au printemps et en été, les eaux superficielles deviennent moins denses en raison du réchauffement et de l'apport d'eau douce accru provenant de la fonte des glaces et du ruissellement sur les terres. Cette eau moins dense ne se mélange pas facilement aux eaux profondes plus denses et plus froides, ce qui mène à la stratification. Une couche intermédiaire froide (CIF) se forme tandis que les eaux froides durant l'hiver sont piégées en dessous de cette couche superficielle moins dense. 1, record 3, French, - couche%20interm%C3%A9diaire%20froide

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, known more commonly as ICF, is a classification of health and health-related domains. These domains are classified from body, individual and societal perspectives by means of two lists: a list of body functions and structure, and a list of domains of activity and participation. Since an individual’s functioning and disability occurs in a context, the ICF also includes a list of environmental factors. 1, record 6, English, - International%20Classification%20of%20Functioning%2C%20Disability%20and%20Health
