Consequently results for the physical sector, Series A articles, and the biological sector, Series B articles, will be given separately in this study.
In Banks 2008a, I showed that articles in the physical sector, have developed at a different rate to those in the biological sector.
In the late nineteenth century, the physical sector began to produce articles based on mathematical modelling rather than experiment, but this had not, at least up to 1980, begun to affect the biological sector.
For example, experimental articles occurred in the physical sector from the very beginning in 1665, whereas articles in the biological sector were initially observational, and experimental articles did not begin appearing until the mid-nineteenth century.
Hence, I am suggesting that the perceived decrease in the use of passive forms, and consequent increase in the use of active forms with first person subjects, in Series A articles, is due to an increase in the use of mathematical modelling in the physical sector.
Founded by Greater Manchester's ten district councils in 1996, GreaterSport is the County Sports Partnership for Greater Manchester which works closely with the sports and physical activity sectors and coordinates events such as the Greater Manchester Youth Games.
"For too long in the physical science sector", said Roberts, "there has been an apprenticeship culture that we don't see in other sectors".
Funding arrangements in the physical health sector incentivise providers to treat more people, rather than to keep them well so they don't need treatment.
For example, why not put staff from the physical activity sector (gyms, trainers, community exercise programmes and so on) on a par with frontline healthcare workers - recognising that they're performing a key task in preventing ill-health throughout society?
