1) Sposoby definiowania organu administracji publicznej Skrót • Dwa ujęcia: ustrojowe (doktrynalne) i funkcjonalne (k.p.a.). • Ustrojowe: organ = wyodrębniona jednostka tworzona na podstawie prawa, działająca w imieniu państwa/samorządu, z kompetencją i właściwością. • Funkcjonalne: „organ” w rozumieniu k.p.a. obejmuje także podmioty wykonujące zlecone funkcje administracyjne. • Rozróżnienie: organ ≠ urząd (urząd nie ma własnych kompetencji; jest aparatem pomocniczym). • Klasyfikacje: wg przynależności (państwowe, rządowe, samorządowe), szczebla (centralne/terenowe), struktury (monokratyczne/kolegialne), funkcji (decydujące/pomocnicze), sposobu powołania. Pełna odpowiedź Organ administracji publicznej można definiować ustrojowo jako osobę lub grupę osób stanowiących wyodrębnioną jednostkę organizacyjną, utworzoną na podstawie przepisów prawa, powołaną do realizacji norm prawa administracyjnego i działającą w imieniu oraz na rachunek państwa lub samorządu, w ramach przyznanych kompetencji i właściwości (podręcznik, rozdz. I–III). W funkcjonalnym ujęciu k.p.a. pojęcie organu obejmuje ministrów, centralne organy, wojewodów, organy jednostek samorządu oraz podmioty wykonujące zlecone funkcje administracyjne – decyduje zdolność do autorytatywnej konkretyzacji norm prawa materialnego (podręcznik, s. 14–17). Równocześnie należy odróżnić organ od urzędu: urząd to zespół środków rzeczowo-osobowych służących organowi; nie ma własnych kompetencji (podręcznik, s. 15). W notatkach (05.10.2025) wskazano praktyczne klasyfikacje: wg przynależności (państwowe, rządowe, samorządowe), szczebla (centralne/terenowe), struktury (monokratyczne/kolegialne), funkcji (decydujące/pomocnicze), sposobu powołania (z mocy prawa / wybór bezpośredni lub pośredni). Podkreśla się, że władztwo organu wynika z prawa; organ działa tylko tak i wtedy, jak prawo pozwala, a naruszenie może rodzić odpowiedzialność (notatki 05.10.2025). Ta dwoistość definicji (ustrojowa vs funkcjonalna) tłumaczy, dlaczego w procedurze administracyjnej „organem” może być również podmiot wykonujący zadania zlecone.

A biogén elemek, az élet szénalapúsága Az élőlények elkülönülése a környezetüktől több szinten is megnyilvánul. Egyik legszembeötlőbb eltérés az egyes kémiai elemek előfordulási gyakoriságában megmutatkozó különbség. A természetben kb. 92 elem található meg, ugyanakkor az élőlények testének felépítésében csupán kb. 30 elem vesz részt. Ezeket, az élő szervezeteket felépítő kémiai elemeket biogén elemeknek nevezzük. (A kémiai elemek azonos rendszámú (protonszámú) atomokból felépülő anyagi halmazok.) A biogén elemeket előfordulási gyakoriságuk alapján csoportosítjuk. Az elsődleges biogén elemek az élő szervezetek tömegének több, mint 95-97 %-át alkotják. Ez csupán 4 elem: H, O, C, N. Közös jellemzőik:  kicsi atomsúly, atomméret, melynek köszönhetően nagy számban kapcsolhatók össze, változatos molekulákat alkotva.  A nagy elektronvonzó képesség (EN) és a kis atomméret miatt erős kovalens kötések kialakítására képesek, ezért stabil molekulákat alkotnak.  Többszörös kötések kialakítására képesek (C, N, O). Az elsődleges biogén elemek relatív gyakorisága a földkéregben, ill. az élő szervezetben eltérő. Az elemek előfordulási gyakoriságában az egyik legnyilvánvalóbb különbség a szén esetében mutatkozik meg. Ennek az a magyarázata, hogy az élőlények testének felépítésében nagyrészt szerves vegyületek vesznek részt, mint pl. nagyobb csoportjaik a lipidek, a szénhidrátok, a fehérjék, a nukleinsavak. A szerves vegyületeknek pedig definíciószerűen alapvetően a szén- és hidrogéntartalmú vegyületeket tekintjük, ahol a szerves molekulák alapvázát szénatomok láncolata alkotja. A szén az egyetlen elem, melynek atomjai szinte korlátlan számban képesek egymással összekapcsolódva különféle stabil óriásmolekulákat létrehozni, mivel a kis méretű szénatomtörzs körül az erős kötőelektronpárok szimmetrikusan, többnyire tetraéderesen helyezkednek el. A szénnel megegyező vegyértékelektron-szerkezetű szilíciumnak, az alkánokhoz hasonló, hidrogénnel képzett vegyületei a szilánok, ugyanakkor néhány Földkéreg Emberi szervezet H 0% 60,3% O 62,5% 25,2% C 0,1% 10,5% N 0,000

Mat oh Helse øving

Her er en **samlet og grundig tekst** som dekker **alle punktene du har listet**, skrevet i et **skolefaglig språk** som passer til **mat og helse**. Teksten er ca. **2000 ord** og kan brukes som **innlevering, øvingsnotat eller muntlig forberedelse**. --- # Mat, helse og hygiene ## Hvorfor er god hygiene på kjøkkenet viktig? God kjøkkenhygiene er svært viktig for å hindre at vi blir syke av maten vi spiser. Mat kan inneholde bakterier, virus og parasitter som kan føre til matforgiftning dersom maten ikke behandles riktig. Spesielt bakterier som salmonella, campylobacter og E. coli kan gi alvorlige mage- og tarminfeksjoner. Barn, eldre, gravide og personer med nedsatt immunforsvar er ekstra utsatt. Når vi har god hygiene på kjøkkenet, reduserer vi risikoen for at farlige mikroorganismer sprer seg fra rå mat til ferdig mat. Dette handler blant annet om rene hender, rene redskaper, riktig oppbevaring av mat og riktig temperatur ved tilberedning. God kjøkkenhygiene bidrar til trygg mat, bedre helse og mindre matsvinn. --- ## Regler for god kjøkkenhygiene Noen viktige regler for god kjøkkenhygiene er: * Vaske hendene grundig med såpe og varmt vann før matlaging, etter toalettbesøk og etter håndtering av rått kjøtt * Bruke rene kjøkkenredskaper og skjærefjøler * Holde rå og ferdig mat adskilt * Oppbevare mat ved riktig temperatur (kjøleskap under 4 °C) * Steke og koke mat tilstrekkelig * Ikke bruke mat som har gått ut på dato * Rengjøre kjøkkenbenk, vask og redskaper jevnlig --- ## Kryssforurensning Kryssforurensning betyr at bakterier overføres fra én matvare til en annen. Dette skjer ofte når rå mat, som rått kjøtt eller kylling, kommer i kontakt med ferdig mat eller grønnsaker som skal spises rå. For eksempel kan bakterier fra rå kylling spre seg via skjærefjøl eller kniv dersom disse ikke vaskes godt nok. For å unngå kryssforurensning bør man: * Bruke ulike skjærefjøler til rått kjøtt og grønnsaker * Vaske hender og redskaper mellom ulike arbeidsoppgaver * Oppbevare rå mat nederst i kjøleskapet --- ## Hva menes med trygg mat? Trygg mat er mat som ikke gjør oss syke. Det betyr at maten er fri for skadelige bakterier, giftstoffer og fremmedlegemer. Trygg mat forutsetter god hygiene, riktig oppbevaring, korrekt tilberedning og at maten ikke er for gammel. Myndighetene i Norge jobber aktivt for matsikkerhet gjennom lover, kontroller og råd til forbrukere. --- ## Hvorfor er grønnsaker, frukt og bær viktige? Grønnsaker, frukt og bær er viktige fordi de inneholder mange vitaminer, mineraler, kostfiber og antioksidanter. Disse stoffene bidrar til god helse og reduserer risikoen for sykdommer som hjerte- og karsykdommer, diabetes type 2 og enkelte kreftformer. De inneholder lite energi (kalorier), men mye næring, noe som gjør dem gode for vektbalanse. Kostfiber er bra for fordøyelsen, gir metthetsfølelse og bidrar til stabilt blodsukker. --- ## «5 om dagen» (nå 5–8 om dagen) «5 om dagen» betyr at man bør spise minst fem porsjoner grønnsaker, frukt og bær hver dag. Nye anbefalinger sier 5–8 porsjoner daglig. En porsjon tilsvarer omtrent en håndfull. Fordelingen bør være: * Minst 3 porsjoner grønnsaker * 2–3 porsjoner frukt eller bær Juice kan telle som én porsjon, men hele frukter er bedre fordi de inneholder mer fiber. --- ## Film: «Trygg matlaging» – fem gode råd Fem gode råd om kjøkkenhygiene fra filmen: 1. Vask hendene ofte og grundig 2. Skill rå og ferdig mat 3. Bruk riktig temperatur ved lagring og tilberedning 4. Hold kjøkkenet og utstyr rent 5. Avkjøl og oppbevar mat raskt og riktig --- # Mat for glede og god helse ## Hva er god helse? (WHO og bærekraftsmål 3) Ifølge WHO er god helse mer enn å ikke være syk. Det er en tilstand av fysisk, psykisk og sosialt velvære. FNs bærekraftsmål nummer 3 handler om å sikre god helse og livskvalitet for alle, i alle aldre. Dette inkluderer tilgang til sunn mat, helsetjenester og kunnskap om livsstil. --- ## Hvordan blir kostrådene til? Kostrådene blir laget av Helsedirektoratet basert på omfattende forskning. De ser på sammenhengen mellom kosthold og helse, både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Forskere vurderer store studier før rådene oppdateres for å sikre best mulig folkehelse. --- ## Helsedirektoratets 7 kostråd 1. Spis variert 2. Spis mye grønnsaker, frukt og bær 3. Velg grove kornprodukter 4. Spis fisk 2–3 ganger i uken 5. Velg magert kjøtt og begrens rødt kjøtt 6. Velg planteoljer og myk margarin 7. Begrens sukker, salt og ultraprosessert mat --- ## Hvorfor er riktig kosthold viktig? Et riktig kosthold gir kroppen næringsstoffene den trenger for å fungere godt. Det gir energi, styrker immunforsvaret, bidrar til normal vekst og utvikling og forebygger sykdom. Et sunt kosthold kan også gi bedre konsentrasjon, humør og læring. --- ## Næringsstoffenes hovedoppgaver * **Karbohydrater:** Gir energi * **Fett:** Gir energi, beskytter organer, bygger celler * **Proteiner:** Bygger og reparerer muskler og vev * **Vitaminer og mineraler:** Regulerer kroppens prosesser * **Vann:** Transporterer næringsstoffer og regulerer temperatur --- # Grove kornprodukter og mel ## To positive egenskaper med grove kornprodukter 1. Inneholder mye kostfiber – bra for fordøyelsen 2. Gir jevnere blodsukker og bedre metthetsfølelse ## Forskjell på siktet og sammalt mel * **Siktet mel:** Kun kjernen av kornet brukes → mindre fiber og næringsstoffer * **Sammalt mel:** Hele kornet brukes (kjerne, skall og kim) → mer fiber, vitaminer og mineraler --- # Fett ## Mettet og umettet fett * **Mettet fett:** Finnes i smør, fløte, ost og rødt kjøtt. For mye kan øke risiko for hjerte- og karsykdommer. * **Enumettet fett:** Finnes i olivenolje og avokado * **Flerumettet fett:** Finnes i fisk, nøtter og planteoljer ## Fettets egenskaper Fett gir mye energi, gir smak til maten og er viktig for opptak av fettløselige vitaminer (A, D, E og K). --- # Energi, måltider og kosthold ## Hva er energi? Energi er det kroppen bruker for å fungere. Vi får energi fra maten. ### Næringsstoffer som gir energi: * Karbohydrater * Fett * Proteiner ### Kroppen bruker energi til: * Bevegelse * Pusting * Kroppstemperatur * Vekst og reparasjon ## Hvorfor varierer energibehovet? Energibehov varierer med alder, kjønn, kroppsstørrelse og aktivitetsnivå. --- ## Energibalanse Energibalanse betyr forholdet mellom energi vi får i oss og energi vi bruker. Likevekt gir stabil vekt. --- ## Måltidsrytme Måltidsrytme handler om å spise regelmessig, for eksempel 3 hovedmåltider og 1–2 mellommåltider. Jevn rytme gir stabilt blodsukker og bedre konsentrasjon. --- ## Hvorfor er frokost viktig? Frokost gir kroppen energi etter natten. Den bidrar til stabilt blodsukker og bedre konsentrasjon. Grove karbohydrater gir langsom energi. Uten frokost kan man bli trøtt og ukonsentrert – «opp som en hjort, ned som en lort». --- ## Mineraler og vitaminer ### Jern * Viktig for oksygentransport i blodet * Finnes i kjøtt, leverpostei og grove kornprodukter ### Kalsium * Viktig for skjelett og tenner * Finnes i melk, yoghurt og ost ### Vitamin A * Viktig for syn, hud og immunforsvar * Finnes i gulrot, leverpostei ### Vitamin C * Styrker immunforsvaret * Finnes i sitrusfrukter, paprika og bær --- # Mattradisjoner og jul Mattradisjoner er oppskrifter og vaner som går i arv og knytter oss til kultur og identitet. ## Mine mattradisjoner i julen (Ikke glem å tilpasse dette til deg selv) For eksempel ribbe, pinnekjøtt, julegrøt eller kaker. ## Er de viktige? Ja, fordi de skaper fellesskap, minner og tilhørighet. ## Vil jeg beholde dem i fremtiden? Ja, fordi de er en viktig del av familie og kultur, selv om noen tradisjoner kan endres litt over tid. ---

Caracteristicile generale ale sistemului serviciilor publice Sistemele, indiferent de natura lor, prezintă anumite caracteristici, între care amintim: 1. Structura sistemului care reflectă modul de organizare a acestuia, respectiv descrierea subsistemelor şi a relaţiilor ce se stabilesc între ele. În cazul sistemelor tehnice structura este definită odată cu proiectarea sistemului, ea putând suferi modificări ulterioare, odată cu dezvoltarea, modernizarea acestuia. În cazul sistemelor vii structura este definită de informaţia genetică, ea putând fi eventual modificată prin accident. În baza informaţiei genetice, după concepţie, sistemele vii evoluează o durată prenatală într-un mediu suport, se nasc, se dezvoltă, se reproduc, îmbătrânesc şi mor. Structura sistemelor quasi-vii este iniţial proiectată şi se modifică ulterior, ori de câte ori realizarea obiectivelor finale sau satisfacerea restricţiilor impun acest lucru. 2. Eficacitatea arată gradul de satisfacere a finalităţii sistemului. De exemplu, dacă obiectivul unui sistem tehnic este reglarea automată a presiunii sau temperaturii, atunci eficacitatea este definită ca fiind precizia cu care se realizează reglarea acestora, cu alte cuvinte abaterea de la valoarea prescrisă. În cazul sistemelor quasi-vii, obiectivul fiind de natură economică sau socială, eficacitatea este definită de abaterea relativă sau absolută de la valoarea dorită a unui indicator economic sau social. 3. Eficienţa este raportul matematic dintre rezultatele (realizările) sistemului şi consumul de resurse ocazionat de funcţionarea sistemului (exemplu: randamentul unui motor este raportul fluxului de energie produs şi fluxului de energie consumat). În cazul în care rezultatele (efecte) şi resursele (cheltuielile) pot fi exprimate ca valori financiare, se vorbeşte de eficienţă economică (exemplu: rentabilitatea). 4. Robusteţea este proprietatea sistemului de a funcţiona normal în condiţiile prezenţei unor perturbaţii generate de mediul exterior, în limita unor restricţii. 5. Ultrafiabilitatea este definită ca fiind acea capacitate a sistemului de a-şi menţine eficacitatea în condiţiile în care o parte din structura acestuia îşi pierde funcţionalitatea (se defectează). Ultrafiabilitatea se realizează de obicei prin creşterea complexităţii sistemului, respectiv, prin introducerea de elemente (subsisteme) şi relaţii suplimentare (de rezervă) care să intre înfuncţiune atunci când celelalte se defectează. (exemplu: navetele spaţiale; reactoarele nucleare – CANDU de la Cernavodă etc.). 6. Adaptabilitatea este proprietatea de a modifica automat funcţionalitatea şi/sau structura în vederea menţinerii (maximizării) eficacităţii (eficienţei) în condiţiile unui mediu variabil (turbulent). De regulă, sistemele vii şi sistemele quasi-vii sunt sisteme adaptabile (exemplu: transportul aerian). 7. Autoadaptarea este proprietatea sistemului de a acumula experienţă şi de a o folosi pentru creşterea eficienţei şi/sau eficacităţii cu care funcţionează. Sistemele vii sunt autoinstruibile. 8. Interdependenţa se defineşte prin faptul că cel puţin o ieşire a unui sistem poate fi utilizată ca intrare a altui sistem, cel puţin la nivelul unor fluxuri de informaţii. Interdependenţa presupune, în primul rând, anumite legături între sisteme. Legătura dintre sistem şi mediu este cunoscută sub denumirea de interfaţă. În cazul sistemelor vii interdependenţa presupune adoptarea unor reguli generale prin instruire şi educare: reguli lingvistice, alfabet, convenţii de notaţii, definiţii logice şi matematice etc. În al doilea rând, interdependenţa presupune existenţa unor canale de comunicaţie dintre interfeţele sistemelor interconectate. Prin definiţie, subsistemele unui sistem se bucură de proprietatea de conectivitate. Interoperativitatea este definită ca fiind acea proprietate ca mai multe sisteme interconectate să funcţioneze ca un sistem unic. Prin definiţie, subsistemele unui sistem sunt interoperabile. Sinergia este acea capacitate a elementelor şi/sau subsistemelor unui ansamblu interconectat şi interoperabil, de a produce mai mult împreună decât separat. Cu alte cuvinte putem spune că sinergia este acea stare în care se poate afirma că sistemul este mai mare, mai eficace şi mai eficient decât suma subsistemelor componente. Sinergia poate fi realizată în condiţiile în care există: - compatibilitate între obiectivele sistemelor; - posibilitatea utilizării în comun a unor resurse.

Etter at krigen hadde brutt ut, bidro alliansesystemene til at flere europeiske stater ble trukket inn i den. Tyskland hadde hele tiden støttet Østerrike-Ungarn, og disse to statene var de viktigste aktørene på den ene siden. På den andre siden hadde Russland lovet å støtte Serbia. Frankrike var alliert med Russland. Siden Tyskland fryktet at Frankrike uansett ville bli med i krigen på russisk side, angrep Tyskland Frankrike først. Men da måtte tyskerne gå gjennom Belgia. Storbritannia hadde lovet å beskytte Belgia, og dermed ble også Storbritannia trukket med i krigen mot Tyskland og Østerrike-Ungarn. Hvilken side var de på? Sorter Sorter disse landene på hver sin side i første verdenskrig: Tyskland, Serbia, Østerrike-Ungarn, Frankrike, Russland, Belgia, Storbritannia. Langs det som ble kalt vestfronten (se kart), gravde hærene fra begge sider seg ned i skyttergraver. De strakte seg fra Den engelske kanal og helt til Sveits. Her kjempet soldatene mot hverandre i de fire årene krigen varte, uten at noen av partene hadde framgang. Langs østfronten var det mer bevegelse. Her sloss Tyskland mot Russland. For Tyskland var det utfordrende å kjempe både i vest og øst samtidig. De militære kampene, spesielt på vestfronten, har fått betegnelsen «skyttergravskrig». Skyttergraven på dette bildet ble bygd utenfor byen Ieper i Flandern i Belgia. På grunn av byens strategiske plassering i den nordlige enden av Vestfronten ble det her kjempet tre usedvanlig blodige slag under første verdenskrig. Nesten 600 000 soldater ble drept i de tre slagene. Skyttergraver som slanger seg gjennom en skog. Å dø for fedrelandet? Diktet «Dulce et decorum est» av den engelske dikteren Wilfred Owen handler om soldatlivet i skyttergravene under første verdenskrig. Tittelen viser til et ideal som hadde vært utbredt i lang tid, og som forfatteren stilte seg kritisk til: Det er godt og riktig å dø for fedrelandet (latin: dulce et decorum est pro patria mori). Tittelen refererer til en romersk dikter som oppfordret unge menn til å kjempe tappert for fedrelandet sitt. Det var en forutsetning for at samfunnet skulle overleve, mente han. Owens dikt er en protest mot dette og mot verdiene myndighetene forsøkte å indoktrinere (påvirke) unge gutter. Diktet ble skrevet i 1918, da krigen gikk mot slutten. Owen selv døde i kamp bare en uke før krigen var over. Dulce et decorum est Krumbøyd som gamle tiggere under sekken, hostende som hekser svor vi oss gjennom gjørma i hast, til vi kunne vende ryggen til flammene og skrekken og ta til å traske fram mot dekning og mot rast. Menn marsjerte i søvne. Mange mistet støvlene i ståket men hinket blodskutt fram. Alle blindet, alle halte, drukne av utmattelse; døve for selve bråket fra trette granater som like bak dem dalte. Gass! Gass! Fort nå – famling febrilt for å få hjelmen på og masken fomlet fram men noen hylte og skrek, snublet, de hadde ilt og stampet som menn i brann eller gruveslam ... Sløret, gjennom tåket glass og tykt, grønt lys, som under grønt hav, så jeg ham drukne. I alle mine drømmer, alltid møtt med samme gys, vil han kaste seg dyvåt mot meg, kveles, drukne. Hvis du i noen ekle drømmer også trasker bak muldyrkjerra der vi slengte ham, ser øynene vrenge seg som fandens masker, fjeset forvridd sykt av synd og skam; hvis du hørte, for hver skump på ny blodet gurgle opp fra frådesprengte lunger, svinsk som kreften, beskt som spy, uhelbredelige sår på uskyldige tunger, – Så min venn, vil du ikke fullt så manifest servere barna, du vil sette spor i, den gamle løgnen: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. Kilde: Wilfred Owen. Oversatt av Arne Ruste. Et kjennetegn ved krigen var bruk av mer moderne våpen enn tidligere. Svart-hvitt fotografi av to soldater med gassmasker som ligger på bakken og skyter med et maskingevær. Hvordan kunne politikerne og de militære la så mange mennesker dø? Hvorfor klarte man ikke å finne en fredelig løsning på konfliktene? Et mulig svar er at ingen forsto at det ville bli en så langvarig og omfattende krig. Sommeren 1914 trodde mange at krigen ville være over i løpet av noen måneder. «Hjem til jul» var en vanlig holdning. Verken politikerne eller de militære forsto helt hva en moderne krigføring med ny teknologi innebar. Reflekter Kan du tenke deg hva som kunne vært gjort for å unngå krigen? Du har lest at skuddene i Sarajevo var en utløsende årsak til første verdenskrig. Hva tror du ville skjedd hvis denne hendelsen ikke hadde funnet sted? Svart-hvitt fotografi av gammeldags militærfly i lufta. Fly ble brukt for å se hvor fiendenes soldater befant seg, men også til bombing. Teknologi Den industrielle revolusjonen hadde utviklet mange teknologiske nyvinninger, også når det gjaldt våpen. Nye produksjonsmetoder hadde ført til en mer effektiv produksjon. Derfor hadde militæret både flere og mer moderne våpen enn noen gang tidligere. Giftgass ble brukt for første gang og førte til store skader på soldatene. Mer effektive maskingeværer gjorde det lettere å forsvare seg enn å angripe og kan forklare hvorfor første verdenskrig ble en langvarig skyttergravskrig. Større og mer effektive kanoner førte til enorme dødstall på begge sider. Også fly, ubåter og stridsvogner ble tatt i bruk for første gang. Derfor kalles første verdenskrig ofte for den første moderne krigen. Gammelt fotografi av kvinner som jobber på en ammunisjonsfabrikk. Under krigen ble flere kvinner trukket inn i arbeidslivet, som i denne ammunisjons- fabrikken i Skottland. En ny kvinnerolle? Første verdenskrig førte til at situasjonen endret seg for mange kvinner. Mange menn reiste i krigen, og kvinnene var igjen hjemme og måtte gjøre jobbene menn vanligvis utførte. Industrien, spesielt den som produserte våpen og annet utstyr til krigen, hadde stort behov for arbeidere. Dette førte til at mange kvinner fikk en jobb utenfor hjemmet og mulighet til å tjene penger for første gang. Mange kvinner fikk nå innblikk i en verden som hadde vært forbeholdt menn. Kvinnene gjorde også en stor krigsinnsats som sykepleiere, ofte nær fronten. Da mennene kom hjem, måtte mange kvinner forlate arbeidsplassene igjen. Men erfaringene og innsatsen kan ha påvirket kvinnenes posisjon i familie og samfunnsliv og dermed hatt innvirkning på kvinnefrigjøringen. Slik kan krigen ha framskyndet demokratiseringsprosessen. Flere land innførte stemmerett for kvinner i årene etter første verdenskrig. Europeisk krig eller verdenskrig? Første verdenskrig ble i stor grad utkjempet i Europa, men krigen spredte seg også til andre verdensdeler. I Øst-Afrika kjempet tyske kolonisoldater mot britene, og både Storbritannia og Frankrike hentet soldater fra sine kolonier i Afrika til skyttergravene i Europa. I Asia ble flere tyske kolonier erobret. Det foregikk dessuten krigshandlinger i flere havområder. Tyske ubåter senket skip som fraktet varer til og fra Storbritannia og Frankrike, og det gjaldt skip fra både nøytrale og krigførende land. Også amerikanske båter ble senket, noe som bidro til at USA erklærte krig mot Tyskland i 1917. Det osmanske riket inngikk en allianse med Tyskland og Østerrike-Ungarn, og dermed var også Midtøsten involvert.

Robespierre perdió apoyos. En julio de 1794, fue detenido por los republicanos moderados y finalmente guillotinado.5.3. EL DIRECTORIO Y EL FIN DE LA REVOLUCIÓN (1795-1799)Se aprueba una nueva Constitución en 1795. En la separación de poderes, el poder ejecutivo quedaba en manos de un Directorio, integrado por 5 miembros. Algunos sectores de la población francesa (realistas), querían que volvieran a gobernar los Borbones y provocaron revueltas. Destacar la figura de Napoleón Bonaparte, que controló estas revueltas y además fue enviado a luchar a Italia, donde derrotó a la Primera Coalición (Prusia, Austria). Más adelante, las potencias europeas crearon la Segunda Coalición, y en 1799 comenzó otra vez la guerra.Napoleón, apoyado por la alta burguesía, dio un golpe de Estado el 18 de brumario (9 de noviembre de 1799). Se estableció un Consulado con 3 miembros: Napoleón, Ducos y Siêyes.6. EL IMPERIO NAPOLEÓNICO.6.1. CONSULADONapoleón acaparó todo el poder. La nueva Constitución del año VIII no contemplaba la separación de poderes. Fue nombrado primer cónsul y en 1802, cónsul vitalicio. Napoleón llevó a cabo una serie de medidas para modernizar Francia: elaboró un Código civil, creó el Banco de Francia…6.2. EL IMPERIO NAPOLEÓNICOEn 1804 Napoleón se proclamó emperador. Desarrolló una política expansionista, de conquista de territorios europeos, por lo que mantuvo varias guerras. A pesar de la derrota en la Batalla de Trafalgar (1805), contra Inglaterra, en pocos años convierte a Francia en primera potencia continental tras las victorias de Austerlitz (frente a los austríacos) y Jena (prusianos). Intentó realizar un bloqueo continental a Inglaterra, invadió Portugal y España (Guerra de independencia en 1808). En 1812, intentó la invasión de Rusia, pero fue derrotado. En 1813, fue derrotado por la Coalición de potencias (Inglaterra, Prusia, Austria y Rusia), en la batalla de Leipzig. Ese mismo año también fue derrotado en España y Portugal.Los aliados llegaron a París. Napoleón abdicó en abril de 1814 y marchó al exilio a la isla de Elba. Retornó al poder durante cien días (Imperio de los Cien Días), pero fue derrotado definitivamente en Waterloo (1815) y deportado a la isla de Santa Elena

Anatomia

Le membrane del corpo Le membrane del corpo rivestono le superfici esterne, delimitano le cavità interne e formano lamine con funzione protettiva e spesso di lubrificazione attorno a determinati organi. Esse permettono di ridurre l’attrito tra le superfici a contatto e di proteggere gli organi durante i movimenti. Le membrane corporee rientrano in due gruppi principali: Membrane epiteliali, che comprendono la cute (o membrana cutanea), le membrane mucose e le membrane sierose; Membrane connettivali, rappresentate dalle membrane sinoviali. La cute, generalmente chiamata pelle o apparato tegumentario, sarà trattata più approfonditamente, mentre di seguito vengono considerate anche le altre membrane. Membrane epiteliali Le membrane epiteliali, dette anche membrane di rivestimento, comprendono la cute, le mucose e le sierose. In realtà, definirle “epiteliali” è in parte impreciso, poiché, sebbene tutte contengano uno strato di tessuto epiteliale, questo è sempre associato a uno strato sottostante di tessuto connettivo. Per questo motivo le membrane epiteliali sono considerate organi semplici, formati da più tessuti che cooperano nello svolgimento di una funzione comune: delimitare, proteggere e separare superfici e cavità. Sono costituite da: Strato di tessuto epiteliale, che svolge funzione di rivestimento e permette assorbimento e filtrazione delle sostanze; Strato di tessuto connettivo, che sostiene e ancora l’epitelio ai tessuti sottostanti, ha funzione di nutrimento in quanto ricco di vasi sanguigni e conferisce resistenza meccanica. Poiché il tessuto epiteliale è avascolare, necessita del tessuto connettivo sottostante per nutrimento e sostegno. La cute La cute, o membrana cutanea, è composta da due strati: Epidermide, costituita da epitelio pavimentoso stratificato; Derma, formato prevalentemente da tessuto connettivo denso. A differenza delle altre membrane epiteliali, la cute è esposta all’aria ed è una membrana asciutta. Le membrane mucose Le membrane mucose rivestono tutte le cavità corporee che comunicano con l’esterno, come quelle degli apparati respiratorio, digerente, urinario e genitale, ma anche la vescica. Il termine “mucosa” si riferisce alla loro localizzazione e al fatto che sono membrane sempre umide, costantemente bagnate da secreti come saliva, muco, succhi digestivi o urina. La maggior parte delle mucose presenta: Epitelio pavimentoso stratificato non cheratinizzato, come nella cavità orale e nell’esofago; Oppure epitelio prismatico semplice, come nel resto del canale digerente. La struttura comprende uno strato di tessuto epiteliale e uno strato di tessuto connettivo fibrillare lasso chiamato lamina propria, che ha funzione di sostegno, nutrimento e difesa. Le membrane sierose Le membrane sierose rivestono cavità del corpo che non comunicano con l’esterno e sono formate da uno strato di epitelio pavimentoso semplice, detto mesotelio, poggiato su un sottile strato di tessuto connettivo fibrillare lasso. Sono costituite da due foglietti: Foglietto viscerale, a contatto diretto con l’organo e che lo riveste; Foglietto parietale, derivato dal ripiegamento del viscerale e che riveste la parete della cavità. I due foglietti sono separati da una piccola quantità di liquido sieroso, secreto da entrambi gli strati epiteliali, che consente agli organi di scivolare senza attrito e di attutire gli urti dovuti ai movimenti. La denominazione delle membrane sierose dipende dalla loro localizzazione: Peritoneo: riveste cavità addominale e organi in essa contenuti; Pleura: circonda i polmoni; Pericardio: circonda il cuore. Le infiammazioni di queste membrane prendono il nome di peritonite, pleurite e pericardite. Membrane connettivali Le membrane connettivali sono rappresentate dalle membrane sinoviali. Diverse dalle membrane epiteliali, non possiedono cellule epiteliali, sono formate da tessuto connettivo fibrillare lasso e tessuto adiposo. Contengono i sinoviociti, cellule che secernono il liquido sinoviale, un lubrificante per le articolazioni. Le membrane sinoviali rivestono la faccia interna delle capsule fibrose che circondano le articolazioni sinoviali, mentre la parte esterna della capsula è chiamata capsula fibrosa. La membrana sinoviale riveste la superficie interna della capsula articolare, mentre quella esterna è costituita dalla capsula fibrosa. Queste membrane agiscono anche come cuscinetti per organi e strutture che si muovono l’una contro l’altra, riducendo l’attrito, come avviene per i tendini lungo le superfici ossee. Rivestono inoltre piccoli sacchi di tessuto fibroso (borse) e le guaine dei tendini. Articolazioni sinoviali Un’articolazione è la regione dello scheletro in cui due o più ossa si collegano. Un’articolazione è definita sinoviale quando le ossa sono separate da una cavità articolare, che permette il movimento degli arti. L’apparato tegumentario Il nostro corpo è rivestito esternamente da una membrana rinnovabile e unica, chiamata membrana cutanea, cioè la cute o pelle. Insieme ai suoi annessi (ghiandole sudoripare, ghiandole sebacee e ceruminose, peli e unghie), forma l’apparato tegumentario. Molti fattori influenzano l’aspetto e la salute della pelle: genetica, alimentazione, stile di vita, igiene e stato emotivo. La branca della medicina che studia la pelle è la dermatologia; La tricologia si occupa delle alterazioni del cuoio capelluto. Funzioni generali dell’apparato tegumentario La cute è una struttura flessibile ma resistente, con diverse funzioni principali: 1. Protezione dei tessuti sottostanti Danni meccanici (traumi): la cheratina indurisce le cellule della pelle; le cellule adipose attutiscono i traumi; recettori tattili e dolorifici avvertono il sistema nervoso. Danni chimici (acidi e basi): cheratinociti impermeabili; recettori dolorifici segnalano possibili danni. Microrganismi patogeni: la superficie integra è protetta dal mantello acido (secrezioni cutanee acide); inoltre la cute contiene cellule immunitarie (macrofagi, cellule dendritiche, linfociti B e T) che impediscono la penetrazione dei patogeni nei tessuti sottostanti. Radiazioni ultraviolette (UV): la melanina prodotta dai melanociti protegge dai raggi UVA e UVB. Danni termici (caldo o freddo): recettori cutanei per caldo e freddo avvertono il sistema nervoso. Disidratazione: cheratina e lipidi prodotti dai cheratinociti impediscono la perdita d’acqua dalla pelle. 2. Termoregolazione Se la temperatura corporea aumenta: Produzione di sudore: evaporando disperde calore. Vasodilatazione cutanea: porta sangue in superficie per irradiare calore. Se la temperatura corporea diminuisce: Vasocostrizione cutanea: riduce la dispersione di calore. 3. Escrezione Attraverso il sudore, la cute elimina acqua, Sali minerali, urea, acido urico, acido lattico, creatinina, ammoniaca e altre sostanze di scarto. 4. Sintesi della vitamina D A partire da molecole di colesterolo modificate, la pelle sintetizza un precursore della vitamina D, che poi, grazie alla luce solare, viene convertito in calcitriolo, la forma attiva della vitamina D. 5. Funzione sensoriale La cute contiene recettori cutanei: Recettori tattili Recettori per la temperatura Recettori dolorifici Questi recettori forniscono informazioni sull’ambiente esterno, permettendo al corpo di reagire agli stimoli. Struttura della cute La cute è un organo semplice formato da epidermide e derma. Epidermide: tessuto epiteliale pavimentoso stratificato, cheratinizzato, duro e resistente, avascolarizzato, strato esterno sottile. Derma: tessuto connettivo denso, più spesso e ricco di nutrienti. Epidermide e derma sono uniti saldamente, ma scottature o attrito possono causare separazione, permettendo al liquido interstiziale di accumularsi, prodotto dal plasma. Al di sotto del derma si trova il tessuto sottocutaneo o ipoderma, costituito da tessuto adiposo e connettivo areolare, che ancora la cute agli organi sottostanti, ammortizza gli urti, isola termicamente e contribuisce al contorno curvilineo del corpo. Cellule dell’epidermide Cheratinociti: circa 90% delle cellule, contengono cheratina, che rende l’epidermide resistente. Cellule di Langerhans: partecipano alla risposta immunitaria, diverse dalle isole di Langerhans del pancreas. Cellule di Merkel: formano i dischi tattili, recettori sensoriali. Melanociti: contengono melanina, con lunghi prolungamenti citoplasmatici, situati nello strato basale. Producono melanina nei melanosomi, trasferita ai cheratinociti per protezione dai raggi UV. Strati dell’epidermide Strato basale o germinativo: cheratinociti cubici/colonnari, cellule staminali che si dividono continuamente. Strato spinoso: 12 livelli di cheratinociti poliedrici. Strato granuloso: cheratinociti appiattiti, ricchi di granuli lamellari, già morti. Strato lucido: cheratinociti morti con eleidina, presente solo in palmi e piante dei piedi. Strato corneo: 20-30 strati di cheratinociti morti, formano barriera protettiva, soggetto a desquamazione continua (circa 18 kg di squame nella vita). La cute e il derma: struttura, pigmenti e omeostasi Quando la melanina si accumula in chiazze compaiono le lentiggini o le macchie senili, mentre i nei o nevi sono macchie tondeggianti, piatte o in rilievo, che rappresentano una proliferazione benigna di melanociti. Le lentiggini sono piccole macchie cutanee dovute a un accumulo localizzato di melanina, senza aumento del numero di melanociti. Compaiono soprattutto nelle persone con pelle chiara e si accentuano con l’esposizione al sole, perché i melanociti producono più melanina. Sono benigne e spesso stagionali. Nei (o nevi) I nei sono macchie tondeggianti, piatte o in rilievo, causate da una proliferazione benigna di melanociti. Possono essere presenti dalla nascita o comparire nel corso della vita. Di solito sono innocui, ma vanno controllati se cambiano colore, forma, dimensione o bordi, perché in rari casi possono trasformarsi in mela...

Introduction : L’idée de nature nous est familière : nous pouvons parler d’aimer la nature ou de la nature profonde d’une personne, de même que nous distinguons ce qui est naturel de ce qui ne l’est pas. La nature est d’abord une évidence pour nous, mais si nous cherchons à définir ce que nous pouvons entendre par « nature », nous sommes vite confrontés à la polysémie de ce mot. Quel est le point commun entre les différents sens que recouvre ce terme ? La recherche de ce point commun correspond à ce qu’on appelle en philosophie l’essence : quelle est alors l’essence de la nature ? Puisqu’il est dans la nature de l’homme de modifier son environnement, est-il pertinent de distinguer la nature de son inverse : la culture ou l’artifice ? La difficulté à répondre invite à soulever un nouveau problème : le concept désigne-t-il une réalité objective, ou est-il avant tout normatif ? Nous commencerons par essayer de définir le concept de nature par opposition à celui de culture : la nature désigne l’ensemble de ce qui existe indépendamment de l’action des hommes. Puis nous verrons comment, en tant qu’objet de connaissance, la nature est également l’objet d’un désir de maîtrise de la part des hommes. Enfin, nous nous interrogerons sur les enjeux écologiques et nous nous demanderons si l’on peut penser une nature dénaturée. Penser la nature La nature est l’ensemble des réalités matérielles existant indépendamment de l’humain, c’est-à-dire ce que nous pouvons observer tout autour de nous mais qui n’est pas le résultat d’une production des hommes. Cette définition correspond à la fois à la compréhension commune (la nature renvoie au monde plus ou moins sauvage tel qu’il existe hors de l’intervention humaine) et à celle de la philosophie. Elle suppose l’existence d’un monde non naturel, qui se distingue et s’oppose à la nature : la culture. Nature et cosmos Les philosophes antiques pensaient la nature comme un tout englobant l’ensemble de ce qui existe. Alors que le concept d’environnement renvoie à l’idée d’un milieu, à la fois cadre de vie et ressource vitale, celui de nature implique une totalité plutôt qu’un rapport de contenant à contenu. L’idée grecque de cosmos véhicule aussi celle d’un ordre, d’une harmonie qui présiderait à l’organisation de la totalité. En tant que « tout » organisé, la nature désigne également la source de la vie. Elle est le principe de développement des êtres vivants. Par extension, la nature d’une chose signifie aussi son essence, c’est-à-dire ce qu’elle est profondément, ce qui constitue son être indépendamment des accidents qui peuvent en modifier l’aspect. Le rapport de la philosophie antique à la nature n’est donc pas un rapport d’opposition (naturel / non naturel). Au contraire, les différentes écoles philosophiques grecques ont en commun l’idée que la nature constitue un modèle auquel on peut se conformer. Héraclite estimait ainsi que « La voie de la sagesse est de parler et d’agir en écoutant la nature », et Marc Aurèle, dans les Pensées pour moi-même, affirmait : « Rien n’est mal qui est selon la nature ». Réflexion Les stoïciens (dont faisait partie Marc Aurèle) ont particulièrement insisté sur cette idée : s’interrogeant sur la meilleure manière de vivre, ils se sont efforcés de distinguer les tendances naturelles des hommes, par oppositions à des tendances non naturelles. Ainsi, par exemple, manger pour se nourrir est naturel, alors que manger par gourmandise ne l’est pas. Pour vivre une vie bonne et philosophique, les hommes devraient suivre leurs besoins naturels et se tenir à distance de ce qui s’en écarte. Nature et domination Socrate a hérité des philosophes présocratiques la compréhension de la nature comme d’un cosmos : la nature est le principe premier de toute chose. Définition Présocratiques : Les philosophes présocratiques sont des penseurs qui ont précédé Socrate, et dont Héraclite fait partie. Seuls des fragments de leurs textes nous sont parvenus ; de ce fait, on connaît assez mal leur enseignement. Dans le Gorgias de Platon, Socrate (dont Platon était le disciple) rappelle cette conception harmonieuse de la nature : « Certains sages disent […] que le ciel, la terre, les dieux et les hommes forment ensemble une communauté, qu’ils sont liés par l’amitié, l’amour de l’ordre, le respect de la tempérance et le sens de la justice. C’est pourquoi le tout du monde, ces sages […] l’appellent cosmos ou ordre du monde ». Mais cette définition ne suffit pas à déterminer le sens que l’on donne à la nature. Réflexion Dans le Gorgias, Socrate discute avec Calliclès qui, partant d’une même définition de la nature, en tire des règles d’existence différentes. Pour Calliclès, suivre la nature ne signifie pas mener une vie simple, comme le pensent les stoïciens, ni s’efforcer de se rendre maître de ses désirs, comme le pense Socrate. Il élargit la définition en développant le concept de justice naturelle : «  […] la justice consiste en ce que le meilleur ait plus que le moins bon, et le plus fort que le moins fort. Partout il en est ainsi, c’est ce que la nature enseigne, chez toutes les espèces animales, chez toutes les races humains et dans toutes les cités ! » Platon, Gorgias. Selon Calliclès, la nature n’est pas seulement un principe d’harmonie et d’unité, elle est aussi une justification de la domination et de la force. À retenir On voit que l’idée de nature, même si elle correspond à une définition précise, n’est jamais neutre : elle porte toujours en elle un système de valeurs. Nature et lois physiques Dans le texte de Platon, Calliclès distingue d’une part le monde de la nature, où chacun est libre de suivre ses pulsions et d’accroître sa propre puissance, et d’autre part, la société qui soumet les hommes à des lois. Cette distinction renvoie à une autre compréhension de la nature : la distinction du « naturel » et de l’« artificiel ». La culture, l’art et la technique appartiennent à un monde proprement humain, contrairement à ce qui relève de la nature. Exemple On peut ainsi définir l’art comme ce qui cherche à imiter la nature, ce qui signifie implicitement que l’art n’est justement pas une production de la nature, il est « artificiel ». Réflexion Aristote propose de distinguer les choses qui existent par la nature de celles qui existent par d’autres causes, auxquelles il donne le nom d’« art ». Pourtant, contrairement à Calliclès, Aristote ne fait pas de la nature le domaine de la pure liberté, mais un univers régi par des lois au même titre que la société, comme celles du mouvement, de la naissance et de la mort, que l’observation peut déceler. Si la nature peut nous apparaître comme sauvage et dépourvue de rationalité humaine, elle est pourtant un monde avant tout physique, c’est-à-dire régi par les lois de la physique. Par rapport au monde artificiel des créations humaines, la nature est justement ce qui peut être compris à travers des lois scientifiques. Au XVIIIe siècle, en appui de cette théorie, Kant définira la nature ainsi : « La nature, c’est l’existence des choses, en tant qu’elle est déterminée selon des lois universelles. » Kant, Prolégomènes, 1783. À retenir On peut donc comprendre la nature comme un tout, mais un tout régi par un ensemble cohérent de lois. Utiliser la nature La conception unitaire et harmonieuse de la nature n’est pas antithétique avec une approche scientifique et utilitaire. Mais, alors que les Anciens s’attachaient davantage à sa dimension harmonieuse, la modernité a vu dans la nature le terrain où exercer non seulement nos connaissances, mais également notre action. La conception mécaniste : se rendre maître de la nature La conception scientifique de la nature a trouvé, en philosophie, une expression dans le mécanisme. Définition Mécanisme : Le mécanisme est une conception qui interprète les phénomènes matériels selon des relations de cause à effet. La nature de manière générale, mais aussi un corps vivant, peuvent ainsi être compris comme un ensemble de mécanismes répondant les uns aux autres. Si l’on voit dans la nature avant tout un ensemble de causalités régies par des lois physiques, on peut suspendre toute pensée éthique et avoir à la nature un rapport avant tout utilitaire : la nature est en effet ce qui nous fournit des ressources pour vivre et on peut donc la rationaliser, l’exploiter afin d’en obtenir le plus possible. Certains dénoncent dans cette approche une vision anthropocentrique de la nature : l’homme ne se conçoit pas seulement comme une partie de la nature, il s’octroie vis-à-vis d’elle une position de maîtrise et de domination. Réflexion : Il s’agit, en tout cas pour l’humanité moderne, de s’affranchir de la domination de la nature, ainsi que l’exprime Descartes : « [Ces connaissances] m’ont fait voir qu’il est possible de parvenir à des connaissances qui soient fort utiles à la vie, et qu’au lieu de cette philosophie spéculative, qu’on enseigne dans les écoles, on peut en trouver une pratique, par laquelle connaissant la force et les actions du feu, de l’eau, de l’air, des astres, des cieux et de tous les autres corps qui nous environnent, aussi distinctement que nous connaissons les divers métiers de nos artisans, nous les pourrions employer en même façon à tous les usages auxquels ils sont propres et ainsi nous...

Missions A mission is: The ‘fundamental objective(s) of an entity expressed in general terms’. (CIMA Official Terminology) The mission therefore is the basic purpose of the organisation and tries to identify the reason it exists. Ultimately the strategies of the organisation should be designed to support the accomplishment of this mission. It is important that the organisation is able to communicate its mission both internally and externally, which requires the creation of a mission statement. ‘The mission says why you do what you do, not the means by which you do it.’ Mission statements Peter Drucker A mission statement is: A ‘published statement, apparently of the entity’s fundamental objective(s). This may or may not summarise the true mission of the entity’. (CIMA Official Terminology) 32 Chapter 2 Essentially, the mission statement is a statement in writing that outlines the organisation’s mission and summarises the reasoning and values that underpin its operations. There is no ‘correct’ format for the mission statement and it will vary in style and length for each organisation. However, typically it is a short, punchy (and hopefully memorable) explanation of the reason the organisation exists. Mission statements will therefore typically have some or all of the following characteristics: • usually a brief statement of no more than a page in length (often much shorter) • very general statement of entity culture • states the aims (or purposes) of the organisation • states the business areas in which the organisation intends to operate • open-ended (not stated in quantifiable terms) • does not include commercial terms, such as profit • not time-assigned • forms a basis of communication to the people inside the organisation and to people outside the organisation • used to formulate goal statements, objectives and short-term targets • guides the direction of the entity’s strategy and as such is part of management information. Mission statements fulfil a number of purposes: • to communicate to all the stakeholder groups – everyone involved in the organisation will be made aware of its mission and should therefore know what to expect from the organisation. • to help develop a desired corporate culture – by communicating core values, policies and expected standards of behaviour to key groups, such as employees. • to assist in strategic planning – the organisation should ensure that its strategies are consistent with its overall mission and therefore its corporate values. The mission statement can also be used as a way of screening out potentially unsuitable strategies. However there are a number of criticisms of mission statements, including: • they may not represent the actual values of the organisation – as evidenced by the official CIMA definition of a mission statement. • they are often vague – mission statements tend to be stated in very general terms, using phrases that are difficult to measure (such as Coca Cola’s desire to ‘refresh the world’). • they are often ignored – mission statements are often seen as a public relations exercise and are not used by employees or managers when developing strategies. • they may become quickly outdated – especially in fast-moving industries. 34 Chapter 2 The process of creating a mission statement The process of writing a mission statement Mission statements are normally drafted by the senior managers or directors of the organisation, as they are uniquely positioned to understand the needs and aims of the business at a high level. Usually the first step in creating a mission statement is to analyse the stakeholders of the organisation – customers, shareholders and employees (amongst others). More detail on this stage can be found later in this chapter. The directors of the company should identify the needs and aims of these stakeholders. They can then attempt to create a mission statement that reflects these aims and that shows how the organisation wants to relate to the stakeholders. A draft mission statement can then be written and distributed to key stakeholders for review. Any feedback can be built into the final mission statement, which can then be published and widely distributed to as many interested parties as possible. The life span of a mission statement There are no set rules on how long a mission statement will be appropriate for an organisation. It should be reviewed periodically to ensure it still reflects the company’s environment. If the market or key stakeholders have changed since the mission statement was written, then it may no longer be appropriate. Vision statements (5 minutes) Vision statements are often confused with mission statements, but the two are subtly different. While a mission statement defines the present purpose and state of an organisation, the vision statement identifies the ideal position that the company wants to reach within the medium to long-term. It is, essentially, the longer term aspirations of the organisation. Vision statements help give a longer term direction to the organisation’s strategies and are designed to help staff make decisions and behave in a way that helps move the company towards its ideal long-term position. Unfortunately, they have many of the same drawbacks as mission statements. Illustration 4 – mission or vision? The main difference between vision and mission is illustrated by the statements produced by Microsoft: Mission statement: To help people and businesses throughout the world realise their full potential. Vision statement: A personal computer in every home running Microsoft software. This shows that the mission statement focuses on the company’s present operations. The vision shows the ideal state that the company wishes to achieve in the future. 3 Values The values of the organisation describe the core ethics or principles which the organisation will abide by, no matter what circumstances it might find itself in. The values will help drive the behaviour of the business, and guide the actions of management, employees and other stakeholders, such as suppliers. Appropriate values that are clearly stated and adhered to serve a number of purposes for the organisation: • to guide staff behaviour – everyone involved in the organisation will be expected to share and exhibit its values, resulting in suitable strategic and operational decisions being made. Generating strategic options: Mission, vision, values and stakeholders • to demonstrate integrity and accountability to external stakeholders – by stating a commitment to set levels of behaviour, failing to adhere will naturally result in steps being taken against the business. • set the organisation apart from its competitors – a proven adherence to stated values can be a source of competitive advantage should competitors fail to display the same expected standards of behaviour. • Reduce the risk of inappropriate behaviour from staff – particularly if the consequences of failing to act in an expected manner are made widely known. • Set the culture of the organisation. The values set out by the organisation will depend on its industry and circumstances. For example, an academic institution such as a university (and therefore not a business driven by profit) may well place great value on freedom of thought, the value of research, or intellectual rigour. On the other hand, a listed telecoms company may adopt values such as network reliability, customer service, and returns to shareholders. Objectives A mission is an open-ended statement of the firm's purpose and strategy. Objectives are more specific and seek to translate the mission into a series of mileposts for the organisation to follow. To be useful for motivation, evaluation and control purposes, objectives should be SMART: • Specific – clear statement, easy to understand • Measurable – to enable control and communication down the organisation • Attainable – it is pointless setting unachievable objectives • Relevant – appropriate to the mission and stakeholders • Timed – have a time period for achievement. Key issues In the same way that an organisation's overall strategic plans need to be translated into a hierarchy of lower level tactical and operational plans, there will be a hierarchy of objectives where the mission statement is translated into detailed strategic, tactical and operational objectives and targets. Typical issues this gives rise to are as follows: • Objectives drive action, so it is important that goal congruence is achieved and the agreed objectives do drive the desired strategy. • It can be difficult (although necessary) to prioritise multiple, often conflicting objectives. • This is made more complex when some objectives are hard to quantify (e.g. environmental impact). • There will be a mixture of financial and non-financial objectives. • There is always the danger of short-termism. • Objectives will vary across stakeholder groups and a strategy may satisfy some groups but not others. 39 Generating strategic options: Mission, vision, values and stakeholders Primary and secondary objectives Organisations will typically set themselves different types of objective, with some being more important than others. Primary objectives (also known as corporate objectives) are the major, overriding objectives of the organisation. They can be financial or non financial but relate to the organisation as a whole and, typically, the needs of its stakeholders. Secondary objectives directly relate to the various strategies that the organisation needs to adopt in order to meet its primary objective. For instance, a company may set itself a primary objective of growing returns for its shareholders. It will then need to implement a number of strategies to help it achieve this – each strategy having its own ‘secondary’ objective. These secondary objectives cou...

When we say that something is codified, we basically mean that it is written down somewhere, that the rules are all collected together somewhere. The UK constitution is said to be uncodified because all the laws with which the state operates are not collected in a single book. In contrast, the US has the America’s Constitution book – their constitution is codified. Do bear in mind that the laws of England & Wales don’t just exist in the minds of people – they are written down, such as when an Act is passed by Parliament, or when the Court hands down a decision. The Act and the decision are written down. However, they are not all found somewhere collectively, and this is why the common law is said to be uncodified. A final point on this, the UK constitution can sometimes be said to not exist at all. As you should have gathered by now, everything is up for debate, but most agree that the UK constitution exists, it’s just not codified. Moving on to the second difference between common law and civil law, have a look at the second row of the table. Judicial precedents are said to be binding in common-law jurisdictions. This means that like cases should be treated alike. This was mentioned in my previous video called ‘What is the Common Law?’ if you spotted it. Lower Courts have to follow upper Courts’ decisions, and matters which were dealt with one specific way, if another case arises with the same facts and/or legal issues, that also must be dealt with similarly. Judicial precedent is not so important in civil-law jurisdictions because the decisions themselves have not been reached purely through the judges’ own scholarship and interpretation. The judges’ role in civil-law jurisdictions is to establish the facts of the case and to apply the provisions of the applicable code. Although they use their expertise, they are not considered to be as creative as common-law judges. The judges’ role in common-law jurisdictions is to create the law to some extent, and to interpret the statutes passed by Parliament when those are in play in cases. Their role is therefore active and creative, as opposed to civil-law judges’ more passive and technical role. This is why judicial precedent is considered to be more important in common-law countries. Finally, it should be clear by now that common-law jurisdictions are more case-law reliant, and also operate very much on custom and practice. In contrast, civil-law jurisdictions are more reliant on legislation/constitution.

glycémie

CUE : Régulation de la glycémie Glycémie : du grec glukus=doux (douceur du sucre) et haima= sang -Emie: sang Glyc: glucose Glycémie correspond aux taux de glucose dans le sang. Homéostasie glucidique : -Besoin en énergie : continu (le cerveau n’utilise que le glucose) -Prise alimentaire contenant des substrat énergétiques : discontinue -Besoin d’une régulation fine : stockage/ déstockage de l’énergie par des tissus spécialisés I)Les tissus impliqués dans la régulation de la glycémie Après un bol alimentaire, nous allons digérer les nutriments puis absorber notamment les glucides. Le glucose ainsi absorbé provoque une augmentation de la glycémie. Ce glucose peut ensuite être utilisé par différents organes et systèmes du corps. Certains, comme le cerveau et les hématies (globules rouges), utilisent exclusivement le glucose comme source d’énergie. En revanche, ils ne sont pas capables de stocker ni de libérer du glucose : ils utilisent simplement celui disponible pour couvrir leurs besoins immédiats. Il est donc nécessaire que d’autres organes puissent capter et libérer le glucose afin de maintenir une glycémie stable. Mais avant même cette étape, il faut un organe central capable de détecter la glycémie et de réguler la libération hormonale nécessaire au maintien de l’équilibre : c’est le pancréas. Le pancréas est au cœur de la régulation glycémique. Il libère plusieurs hormones – notamment l’insuline et le glucagon – qui agiront ensuite sur différents organes cibles, principalement : • Le foie, • Les muscles, • Le tissu adipeux. Ces organes sont responsables du stockage, de la libération ou de l’utilisation du glucose, permettant ainsi de maintenir la glycémie dans des limites normales. A) Le Foie Le foie est irrigué par deux systèmes : • Un système veineux, principalement la veine porte, • Un système artériel, issu de l’aorte via l’artère hépatique. La veine porte reçoit le sang provenant de l’estomac, de l’intestin, de la rate et du pancréas. Au niveau du tube digestif, les nutriments issus de la digestion passent dans le sang. Ce sang riche en nutriments rejoint ensuite le foie via la veine porte. Après un repas, la concentration en glucose (glycémie) dans la veine porte peut dépasser 0,8 à 1 g/L, ce qui est normal. Le foie reçoit donc un sang particulièrement riche en glucose. L’une des fonctions essentielles du foie est alors de filtrer et réguler ce sang ; Il capte et stocke le glucose en excès sous forme de glycogène, ce qui fait diminuer la glycémie. L’artère hépatique provient d’une ramification de l’aorte. Elle apporte au foie : • Du sang oxygéné, • Une glycémie normale, autour de 1 g/L. • Si la glycémie artérielle diminue, le foie peut : • Déstocke le glucose qu’il contient (glycogénolyse), • Produire de nouvelles molécules de glucose (néoglucogenèse). Le foie possède trois capacités majeures pour maintenir une glycémie stable : 1. Stockageduglucoseenexcès. 2. Déstockageduglucoseencasdebesoin. 3. Productiondeglucoselorsquelesréservessontinsuffisantes. 1)Stockage Au niveau du foie, le glucose est stocké sous une forme compacte appelée glycogène. Le glycogène correspond à du glucose polymérisé, c’est-à-dire un enchaînement de nombreuses molécules de glucose associées entre elles. La synthèse du glycogène à partir du glucose s’appelle : ➡ glycogénogenèse. Avantages du stockage sous forme de glycogène 1. Compactageduglucose Le fait d’associer de nombreuses molécules de glucose entre elles permet au foie de stocker beaucoup plus de glucose dans un espace réduit. → Cela augmente considérablement sa capacité de réserve. 2. Dégradationrapide Le glycogène peut être hydrolysé rapidement (cassé en glucose) par l’hépatocyte. → Cette dégradation facile permet de libérer du glucose rapidement lorsque la glycémie baisse. 2)Déstockage et libération : glycogénolyse En réponse à une diminution de la glycémie : la glycogénolyse = dégradation du glycogène. La glycogénolyse va permettre au foie de produire du glucose qui est attaché à des groupements phosphate, appelé glucose-phosphate. Dans le foie, il y a un élément très singulier et très caractéristique : le foie exprime une phosphatase, c’est-à-dire une enzyme capable de retirer les groupements phosphate. Ainsi, le glucose-phosphate, sous l’action de cette enzyme, va perdre ses groupements phosphate et se retrouver sous forme de glucose libre dans l’hépatocyte. Comme il ne possède plus de groupement phosphate, il va pouvoir traverser les membranes plasmiques et se retrouver dans le compartiment sanguin. En résumé, le déstockage du foie correspond à la glycogénolyse hépatique, qui va permettre la conversion du glycogène en glucose-phosphate ; celui-ci subira l’action d’une phosphatase, et le glucose produit pourra réintégrer le compartiment sanguin et augmenter la glycémie. 3)La néoglucogenèse (environ 90%) -Synthèse de nouvelles molécules de glucoses à partir de composés non glucidiques : - À partir de glycérol (suite à hydrolyse de TG=lipolyse) - À partir d’acides aminés glucoformateur (Ala, Val) - À partir de lactate (=molécule libéré lors d’un exercice physique intense) B)Le muscle -Capable de dégrader ce glycogène, mais il n’y a pas d’expression de la phosphatase. Ainsi, lorsque le glycogène va être dégradé en glucose-phosphate, ce glucose ne pourra pas quitter le myocyte et donc ne pourra pas augmenter la glycémie dans l’organisme. En revanche, le muscle sera capable d’utiliser ce glucose-phosphate pour réaliser la glycolyse, c’est-à-dire la dégradation du glucose afin de produire des molécules qui vont lui fournir de l’énergie via le cycle de Krebs et produire du lactate à partir du pyruvate . Le muscle est donc un organe capable de stocker du glucose grâce à la glycogénogenèse (sous forme de glycogène), mais également de dégrader le glycogène par glycogénolyse. Cependant, le glucose-phosphate formé restera dans la cellule musculaire, et c’est le myocyte qui pourra utiliser ce glucose comme source d’énergie. C)Le tissu adipeux Le tissu adipeux stocke les graisses sous forme de triglycérides, c’est-à-dire des acides gras associés à du glycérol. Le glucose, dans l’adipocyte (cellule du tissu adipeux), va être dégradé par les mécanismes de glycolyse cellulaire. Cette glycolyse va fournir des intermédiaires métaboliques qui seront ensuite capables de former des acides gras. Ces acides gras pourront se complexer avec une molécule de glycérol pour former les triglycérides, que l’on appelle TG.Le fait d’être en mesure de créer de nouveaux lipides sous forme de triglycérides correspond à la lipogenèse. Lorsque la quantité à stocker est importante, l’organisme peut soit augmenter la taille des adipocytes, soit augmenter le nombre d’adipocytes, ce qui correspond à l’hyperplasie adipocytaire D)Le rein En condition physiologique - Au niveau du néfron tout le glucose filtré est réabsorber - Il réalise 10% de la néoglucogénèse. -En cas d’une glycémie supérieur à 1,8g/L: glucose excrété dans l’urine; -Intérêt des bandelettes urinaires pour detecter la précense du glucose (glycosurie) signe de diabète. II)Régulation hormonale de la glycémie Organe au centre de la régulation : le pancréas, qui va agir à distance en libérant des molécules dans le sang. Ces molécules vont agir sur des tissus cibles : foie, muscle et tissu adipeux. La régulation de la glycémie est avant tout une régulation hormonale. Hormone : molécule libérée par une glande endocrine dans le sang. Deux hormones importantes pour la régulation glycémique, libérées par le pancréas : o Insuline (hormone hypoglycémiante) o Glucagon (hormone hyperglycémiante) Ce système a une action rapide, permettant une régulation rapide de la glycémie. A)Mise en évidence de l’importance du pancréas Lorsque qu’on retire le pancréas, on observe une élévation de la glycémie : c’est à dire que le pancréa est en mesure de libérer une hormone qui va diminuer le taux de glucose sanguin: donc libéré des molécules hypoglycémiantes. B)L’insuline :hormone hypoglycémiante -Hormone polypeptidique c’est une petite hormone avec plusieurs acides aminé associé les un avec les autres , elle est maturé en différentes étapes: Tout d’abord le pancréa va produire la préproinsuline , qui elle , va être clivée en proinsuline qui elle va être maturé soit en insuline soit en peptide C: Le pancréas est une glande qui peut libérer des enzymes dans le compartiment digestif, au niveau du duodénum : c’est sa fonction exocrine. Il est également capable de libérer des hormones dans le compartiment sanguin : c’est sa fonction endocrine. En résumé, le pancréas est une glande mixte (amphicrine), car il possède à la fois des effets endocrines et exocrines. L’insuline va être synthétisée et produite au niveau des îlots de Langerhans dans le pancréas, où l’on retrouve des cellules B (bêta) responsables de la synthèse et de la libération de l’insuline dans le sang. B.1)L’insuline: sécrétion par la cellule B Les cellules B vont être stimulées lorsque la glycémie augmente. On retrouve sur leur membrane un transporteur du glucose : GLUT2. Cette élévation de la glycémie entraîne une entrée plus importante de glucose dans la cellule bêta des îlots de Langerhans. L’augmentation de la concentration en glucose dans la cellule va conduire à un phénomène d’exocytose, c’est-à-dire la libération de l’insuline stockée dans des vésicules de sécrétion. Ainsi, une élévation de la glycémie provoque un afflux de glucose dans la cellule bêta pancréatique. Cet afflux déclenche l’exocytose de...

d) Definition of a signal: A signal is the physical representation of information passing through a system from source to recipient (figure 2). Any physical quantity containing information can be called a signal. Physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. are constantly monitored during a process. Usually, the information conveyed by a signal is a function of an independent variable, for example time. signal Source information Information returned to the recipient Electronic system Figure n° 2 a) Analog signal: It is a signal that varies continuously over time. For example the temperature of a place during a month is an analog quantity, the electrical amplitude of the analog signal would be the true (analog) image of the signal to be processed, hence the use of the term “analog”. a) Digital signal: It is a signal that varies discretely (discontinuously) over time, it is a succession of zero (0) and (1), called bits. It is said to be binary. The digital signal is much easier to process with computers How does the transition from analog signal to digital signal take place? The digital conversion of the analog signal called digitization follows the following steps: 1. Sampling, consists of measuring the amplitude of the signal at regular time intervals Te. 2. Quantification, which consists in coding these samples on a certain number of bits. Figure 3: Signal sampled at Te [2] NB: The analog signal is converted into a digital signal using a converter which translates the signal into a sequence of binary numbers. NB: the digital aspect is used for transport, storage and processing. e) Signal Processing Specialist: His work would be the implementation of the electronic part: receive signals, digitize them, group them and transport them reliably and quickly to the computers where the actual treatment.

Geografia 1

Cap 1: Le coordinate spazio-temporali. 1 Rappresentazioni e misure Ogni esperienza umana si fonda sulle coordinate fondamentali di spazio e tempo, che permettono di collocare il "dove" e il "quando" di ogni evento. Questi concetti, essenziali categorie filosofiche, forniscono chiavi interpretative per comprendere le trasformazioni delle società e delle culture nel corso del tempo. Innovazioni scientifiche e tecnologiche hanno profondamente modificato il modo in cui spazio e tempo vengono percepiti e vissuti, accelerando i cambiamenti con conseguenze straordinarie. Oggi, la rete informatica permette di accedere a informazioni e servizi in tempo reale, spesso eliminando la necessità di spostamenti fisici. Questo ha separato il luogo dallo spazio fisico e, in alcuni casi, lo spazio dal tempo, creando nuove dimensioni con effetti complessi e non sempre prevedibili. È ora possibile comunicare, lavorare e soddisfare fabbisogni materiali senza condividere lo stesso spazio fisico, una rivoluzione che modifica radicalmente le coordinate spazio-temporali. La geografia, legata allo spazio fin dalla sua etimologia (dal greco ghe e graphia, “disegno della Terra”), integra anche la dimensione temporale, considerando il territorio come un’organizzazione dinamica. Comprendere il presente richiede un’analisi del passato, che lascia tracce nel territorio, e una proiezione verso il futuro, essenziale per interpretare i cambiamenti in atto e prevederne gli esiti. Una visione diacronica, che analizza lo spazio attraverso il tempo, consente di cogliere le trasformazioni territoriali, sempre più rapide. Questo approccio prospettico aiuta a valutare le conseguenze delle scelte presenti, tenendo conto delle responsabilità verso il futuro, sia a breve che a lungo termine. L’ambiente, plasmato dal passato e vissuto nel presente, diventa così una base fondamentale per progettare il tempo che verrà, intrecciando le dimensioni temporali in un flusso continuo. 2 Orientamento L’orientamento è una necessità fondamentale per gli esseri umani, che da sempre hanno cercato di conoscere la propria posizione, la destinazione dei propri spostamenti e la direzione da seguire. Questa esigenza ha portato all’identificazione di punti fissi di riferimento, i punti cardinali, basati su elementi naturali come il Sole nel suo apparente percorso diurno. Il quadrante in cui il Sole sorge, l’Oriente (dal latino oriri, “sorgere”), è stato uno dei primi riferimenti utilizzati, identificando l’Est. Tuttavia, il Sole sorge esattamente a Est e tramonta esattamente a Ovest solo durante gli equinozi di primavera e autunno. Ogni giorno, invece, raggiunge la sua massima altezza nel cielo a mezzogiorno, indicando il Sud. La linea immaginaria che unisce Est e Ovest è perpendicolare a quella che collega Nord e Sud, definendo lo spazio entro una cornice temporale. Per raffinare questa suddivisione, lo spazio è stato ulteriormente frammentato: prima in otto settori, poi in sedici e infine in trentadue. Questi settori sono stati denominati secondo i venti predominanti del Mediterraneo, dando vita alla rosa dei venti. A questa figura è stato poi applicato un ago calamitato, libero di ruotare secondo le linee di forza del campo magnetico terrestre. Questo strumento, noto come bussola, ha permesso di individuare facilmente il Nord magnetico, vicino a quello geografico, senza il bisogno di osservare il Sole o le stelle. La bussola prende il nome dalla scatola in legno di bosso che originariamente la conteneva. Anche le stelle hanno da sempre rappresentato un riferimento fondamentale, specialmente di notte. Sebbene il cielo stellato sembri ruotare sopra le nostre teste, questo movimento apparente è dovuto alla rotazione terrestre. Una stella, però, appare immobile: la stella Polare. Paragonabile al punto fisso di un immenso ombrello stellato, la stella Polare si trova in prossimità del Polo nord celeste, offrendo un riferimento stabile per l’orientamento, nonostante un lieve scarto rispetto alla posizione esatta. Questi strumenti e osservazioni naturali hanno permesso agli esseri umani di orientarsi nello spazio e nel tempo, soddisfacendo un bisogno fondamentale e sviluppando tecniche che continuano a influenzare il nostro rapporto con il territorio e il movimento. 3 La forma della Terra e le coordinate geografiche La forma della Terra ha catturato l'attenzione sin dalle antiche civiltà, dando origine a diverse interpretazioni, spesso influenzate da miti cosmogonici. Anassimandro di Mileto (610-546 a.C. circa) è considerato l'autore della prima carta geografica, che raffigurava la Terra come un disco circondato dalle acque dell'Oceano. Questa visione approssimativa identificava due continenti principali: Europa a nord e Asia a sud, separati dal Mediterraneo. Tuttavia, filosofi greci anticiparono con notevole accuratezza la sfericità della Terra. Oggi, grazie alle moderne tecniche di misurazione e alle immagini satellitari, si sa che la Terra ha una forma chiamata geoide. Questa figura unica rappresenta la superficie terrestre come perpendicolare alla forza di gravità in ogni punto, corrispondente fisicamente al livello medio del mare, esteso anche sotto le terre emerse. Nonostante la presenza di rilievi e fosse oceaniche, la variazione rispetto al raggio terrestre è minima (1/1000), rendendo la forma generale sorprendentemente regolare. Il modello geometrico che meglio descrive la Terra è l’ellissoide di rotazione, una sfera leggermente schiacciata ai poli. Questo schiacciamento è dovuto alla rotazione terrestre, e l’ellissoide è ottenuto dalla rotazione di una semiellisse intorno all’asse minore. Coordinate geografiche La posizione di un punto sulla superficie terrestre è determinata dalle coordinate geografiche, calcolate su un sistema di riferimento costituito da meridiani e paralleli: Meridiani: circoli massimi che collegano i poli. Sono infiniti e, per convenzione, includono semicirconferenze tra il Polo Nord e il Polo Sud. Paralleli: circonferenze perpendicolari ai meridiani, parallele all'Equatore. La loro lunghezza diminuisce avvicinandosi ai poli. Meridiani e paralleli, intersecandosi, formano il reticolato geografico, una griglia che consente di identificare univocamente qualsiasi punto sulla superficie terrestre. Latitudine e longitudine Latitudine: distanza angolare di un punto dall'Equatore (0°), misurata lungo un meridiano. Può variare da 0° a 90° a nord o sud. Longitudine: distanza angolare di un punto dal meridiano di Greenwich (0°), misurata lungo un parallelo. Può variare da 0° a 180° a est o ovest. Questi valori angolari sono espressi in gradi, primi e secondi. Misurazioni altimetriche Per rappresentare la conformazione plano-altimetrica della Terra, si utilizza l’altitudine, misurata rispetto al livello medio del mare. Gli strumenti usati includono: Altimetro e triangolazioni trigonometriche, per rilievi terrestri. Scandaglio, per depressioni marine o lacustri. Global Positioning System (GPS), che, grazie ai satelliti, offre localizzazioni precise e continua navigazione su tutta la superficie terrestre. Queste tecniche moderne hanno reso possibile una rappresentazione sempre più accurata della Terra, migliorando la comprensione della sua forma e delle sue coordinate geografiche. 4 Le dimensioni della Terra Fin dall’antichità, la comprensione della forma della Terra ha suscitato l’interesse di molti studiosi, così come il calcolo delle sue dimensioni. L'affermazione della sfericità terrestre ha permesso l'applicazione della geometria per affrontare in modo rigoroso la questione, fornendo spiegazioni plausibili. Sebbene oggi le moderne tecniche di rilevamento e le immagini satellitari garantiscano misurazioni di grande precisione, per secoli geografi, astronomi e navigatori hanno elaborato metodi sempre più accurati. I primi tentativi di calcolo I primi calcoli delle dimensioni terrestri sono attribuiti a Eudosso di Cnido e Dicearco di Messina nel VI secolo a.C. Tuttavia, tra questi tentativi, spicca quello di Eratostene di Cirene, vissuto nel III secolo a.C., che stimò la circonferenza terrestre in 39.375 km, con uno scarto di soli 700 km rispetto al valore attuale di 40.077 km. Progressi nel XVII secolo Una precisione maggiore si ottenne nel XVII secolo grazie al lavoro dell’astronomo e geodeta Jean Picard. Su incarico dell’Accademia delle Scienze di Parigi, Picard, insieme ad Adrien Auzout, misurò nel 1670 la lunghezza di un grado di meridiano tra Amiens e Malvoisin. Questi studi dimostrarono che la lunghezza dell’arco di un grado di meridiano varia in funzione della latitudine, confermando che il nostro pianeta non è perfettamente sferico. L'effetto dello schiacciamento terrestre Lo schiacciamento terrestre comporta che la lunghezza lineare di un grado di meridiano aumenti leggermente avvicinandosi ai poli. Ad esempio: Latitudini equatoriali: un grado di meridiano misura 110,56 km. Latitudini polari: un grado di meridiano misura 111,69 km. Superficie totale della Terra La superficie complessiva della Terra è pari a 510.611.393 km², di cui 148.356.693 km² sono occupati dalle terre emerse. Questi valori evidenziano la prevalenza delle aree coperte dalle acque rispetto a quelle terrestri. Questi risultati, raggiunti grazie a secoli di osservazioni e calcoli, rappresentano una straordinaria testimonianza del progresso nella conoscenza del nostro pianeta. 5 La carta geografica: approssimazione e riduzione La rappresentazione degli spazi di vita ha sempre richiesto una conoscenza precisa dei luoghi, delle loro posizioni reciproche e del loro orientamento. Questo era essenziale per la sopravvivenza dell’umanità, portando alla necessità di rappresentare questi spazi su supporti disponibili attraverso incisioni o sculture. La forma della Terra e il suo orientamento sono alla base della costruzione delle carte geografiche e del loro linguaggio. Il pro...

Population

A Bevölkerung im Wandel 1. Weltbevölkerung 1.1 Einführung Zurzeit (2025) leben 8,3 Milliarden Menschen auf der Erde. Jede Sekunde kommen statistisch gesehen 3,3 Menschen dazu. Prognosen sagen voraus, dass im Jahr 2050 etwa 9,8 Milliarden Menschen leben werden. Als Kolumbus 1492 Amerika erreichte, lebten 500 Millionen Menschen auf der Erde. Es dauerte 300 Jahre, ehe sich die Weltbevölkerung auf 1 Milliarde verdoppelt hatte. 1960 zählte die Erde bereits 3 Milliarden Bewohner und es brauchte nur noch 40 Jahre zur Verdopplung auf 6 Milliarden Menschen im Jahr 1999. Auftrag: Weltbevölkerung 2025 Wenn die Welt ein Dorf mit nur 100 EinwohnerInnen wäre, wären davon: 2050 Die Zahl der Dorfbewohner wäre im Jahr 2050 121 Menschen: 1.2 Die Bevölkerungsentwicklung Die Demografie (grch.: demos „Volk“ und grch.: graphein „schreiben, zeichnen“) (=Bevölkerungslehre) versucht den Ursachen und Wirkungen von Bevölkerungsveränderungen auf den Grund zu gehen. Sie bietet Messgrössen und Verfahren an zur Ermittlung des Aufbaus, der Verteilung und des Wachstums der Bevölkerung. 1.2.1 Wie misst man die Bevölkerungsentwicklung? Die Gesamtbevölkerung eines Gebietes ist abhängig von zwei Grössen, von der natürlichen Bevölkerungsentwicklung und der Migration. Ein Mathematiker würde sagen, die Gesamtbevölkerung ist eine Funktion von zwei Grössen: Die natürliche Bevölkerungsentwicklung ergibt sich durch die Differenz von Geburten (G) und Sterbefällen (S). Überwiegen die Geburten, so wächst die Bevölkerung, im umgekehrten Fall schrumpft sie. Diese einfache Beziehung wird durch die Migration überlagert. Der Fachausdruck Migration (aus lat. migrare "wandern") heisst Wanderung. Einwanderer (E) erhöhen die Gesamtbevölkerung, Auswanderer (A) senken sie. Die Gesamtbevölkerung zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt erhält man, indem zu einer Anfangsbevölkerung (Ba) die Differenz aus Geburten und Sterbefällen sowie die Differenz aus der Ein- und Auswanderung addiert. Als Formel ergibt sich: Das Gewicht der beiden Differenzen innerhalb der Beziehung hängt ab vom betrachteten Massstab. Während in einer kleinen Raumeinheit wie etwa einem Land die Ein- bzw. Auswanderer einen grossen Einfluss auf die Bevölkerungsentwicklung haben können, sind die in einer sehr grossen Raumeinheit wie etwa in einem Kontinent weniger wichtig. Das liegt daran, dass die Migration, von einem grossräumigen Blickwinkel aus betrachtet, meist innerhalb der Raumeinheit erfolgt. Untersucht man die ganze Erde, so ist die Wanderungsbilanz gleich Null, solange Kolonien auf dem Mond Sciencefiction bleiben. Die Abbildung unten zeigt den Zusammenhang zwischen der natürlichen Bevölkerungs entwicklung und der Migration bildlich. Wie der Wasserspiegel in einem Regenfass ist die Bevölkerungszahl einer Region bestimmt durch Zu- bzw. Abflüsse – Wasser in einem, Menschen im andern Fall. (a) In einem geschlossenen System, wie der Erde als Ganzem, spielt nur die natürliche Bevölkerungsentwicklung eine Rolle. (b) In einem offenen System ist auch die Migration zu berücksichtigen. Natürliche Bevölkerungsentwicklung Die einfachste Art, die natürliche Bevölkerungsentwicklung zu beschreiben, geschieht über Ziffern. Dabei wird die Anzahl der jährlichen Lebendgeburten und Sterbefälle auf je 1‘000 Einwohner erfasst. Im ersten Fall spricht man von der Geburtenziffer (auch Geburtenrate), im zweiten von der Sterbeziffer (auch Sterberate). Betrachte folgendes Beispiel: In einem Land mit 100‘000 EinwohnerInnen ereignen sich im Laufe eines Jahres 4‘000 Geburten und 2‘000 Todesfälle. Die Geburtenziffer berechnest du mit einem einfachen Dreisatz. Auf 100 Einwohner erhältst du 4 Geburten, auf 1‘000 Einwohner zehnmal mehr, also 40. In Promille ausgedrückt ergibt sich eine Geburtenziffer von 40‰. Genau gleich verfährst du mit den Todesfällen – du erhältst eine Sterbeziffer von 20‰. Die Geburten- bzw. Sterbeziffer findest du in den meisten amtlichen Statistiken. Migration In einer kleinräumigen Betrachtungsweise wirken sich Bevölkerungsumverteilungen durch die Migration stark auf die Veränderung der Gesamtbevölkerung aus. Insbesondere die Abwanderung der ländlichen Bevölkerung in die Grossstädte führt in vielen Entwicklungsländern zu grossen Problemen. Während sich der ländliche Raum entleert, sammeln sich in der Stadt zu viele Leute auf zu engem Raum. Fertilitätsrate, Kinderzahl pro Frau Die demographischen Kennziffern der Geburten- bzw. Sterberate beziehen sich auf Gesamtbevölkerungen, sie erscheinen oft wenig anschaulich und immer unpersönlich. Betrachten wir deshalb auch die Bevölkerungsentwicklung aus dem Blickwinkel der Individuen. Ob eine Bevölkerung wächst oder schrumpft, hängt letztlich immer davon ab, wie viele Nachkommen die Individuen haben. Ausschlaggebend ist hier die Fertilitätsrate oder kurz Fertilität (aus lat. fertilis "fruchtbar“) genannt. Dieser Wert gibt für eine Bevölkerung an, wie viele lebend geborene Kinder eine Frau im gebärfähigen Alter von 15 – 45 Jahren durchschnittlich zur Welt bringt. Die Abbildung zeigt dir, wie stark die Werte weltweit auseinanderklaffen. Besonders interessant ist nun die Frage, wie viele Kinder eine Frau haben dürfte, damit die Bevölkerung längerfristig nicht weiterwächst. Ohne viel zu überlegen, könnte man sagen: Wird jedes Paar durch ein neues ersetzt, bleibt die Bevölkerung langfristig stabil. Da rund die Hälfte der Kinder Mädchen sind, darf jedes dieser Mädchen genau zwei Kinder haben. Die Kinderzahl pro Frau für eine stabile Bevölkerung wäre somit 2.0. Untersuchen wir diesen Zusammenhang etwas genauer: Zunächst gilt es zu beachten, dass nicht jedes der geborenen Mädchen selbst auch Kinder haben wird, da infolge der hohen Kindersterblichkeit in armen Ländern viele Mädchen gar nie ein fortpflanzungsfähiges Alter erreichen. Ausserdem ist das Geschlechterverhältnis bei der Geburt nicht 1:1, sondern auf 1000 Geburten nur etwa 485 bis 490 Mädchen. Deshalb liegt der gesuchte Wert nicht bei 2.0, sondern etwas 2,13. Fertilitätsrate nach Staaten für das Jahr 2024. Quelle: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesamtfertilit%C3%A4tsrate Nullwachstum auf dem Ersatzniveau der Fertilität Ausgeklügelte Berechnungen der Demographen ergeben einen Wert von durchschnittlich 2.13 Kindern pro Frau. Auf 100 Frauen müssen also im Verlauf ihres Lebens 213 Kinder entfallen, damit jedes Individuum einer Bevölkerung genau ersetzt wird. Diesen wichtigen Wert nennt man Ersatzniveau der Fertilität. Hat ein Land eine Kinderzahl pro Frau von 2.13, so wird seine Bevölkerung nach längerer Zeit ein gleich gross bleibendes Niveau erreichen. Man spricht dann vom Nullwachstum der Bevölkerung. Betrachten wir nochmals die Abbildung: Du siehst, dass in vielen ärmeren Ländern das Ersatzniveau der Fertilität deutlich übertroffen wird. Der weltweite Durchschnittswert liegt bei 2.2 (Jahr 2025). Es werden demnach Jahr für Jahr mehr Erdenbewohner geboren, als durch die natürliche Sterblichkeit Platz für sie geschaffen wird. Mit dieser Erkenntnis bist du beim Bevölkerungswachstum angelangt. Aufgaben: (Quelle: Anthropogeographie, compendio 2009 und 2014) 1. Im Jahr 2024 betrug die Geburtenziffer in der Schweiz 8.69‰ bei einer Gesamtbevölkerung von 9'002’763 Einwohnern. Wie oft lieferte demnach der Storch in diesem Jahr sein Bündel ab? 2. In der Schweiz beträgt die Kinderzahl pro Frau ca. 1.5 und liegt somit unter dem Ersatzniveau der Fertilität. Gleichwohl ist die Gesamtbevölkerung in der Schweiz in den letzten Jahren langsam, aber stetig gestiegen. Erkläre diesen Umstand! 3. 2023 betrug die Kinderzahl pro Frau in Italien 1.2, in Burkina Faso (Westafrika) hingegen 4.2. Wie werden sich die Gesamtbevölkerungen dieser beiden Länder in Zukunft entwickeln? 1.2.2 Die Gesetzmässigkeiten des Bevölkerungswachstums Beachte zu Beginn den wichtigen Unterschied zwischen den Begriffen Wachstum und Wachstumsrate: • Wachstum bezeichnet eine absolute Zunahme, d.h. den Anstieg der Bevölkerung um einen bestimmten Betrag. So wuchs die Weltbevölkerung von 2000 bis 2010 um den Betrag von 800 Millionen Menschen. • Die Wachstumsrate (r) hingegen steht für eine relative Zunahme. Sie meint die durchschnittliche, jährliche Zunahme in Prozenten ausgedrückt. Die Wachstumsrate eines geschlossenen Systems ergibt sich als Differenz aus der Geburten- und Sterbeziffer. Liegen negative Werte vor, sinkt die Bevölkerungszahl. Beachte die Verhältnisse: Geburten- und Sterbeziffern werden in Promille (‰) angegeben, die Wachstumsrate hingegen in Prozenten (%). Ein vereinfachtes Rechenbeispiel für ein geschlossenes System wo keine Migration stattfindet: In einem Land ereignen sich auf 100'000 Einwohner und Einwohnerinnen jährlich 4'000 Geburten und 2'000 Todesfälle. Am Jahresende leben somit auf je 1'000 Einwohner 20 Menschen mehr als zu Jahresbeginn. Die Wachstumsrate beträgt somit 2%. Regel: Wachstumsrate (geschlossenes System) Beispiel: = Geburtenziffer – Sterbeziffer = 40‰ - 20‰ = 20‰ = 2% Hätte dieses Land 100 Millionen Einwohner, so lebten dort nach einem Jahr 2 Millionen Menschen mehr. Die momentane (2024) Weltbevölkerung wächst jährlich um ca. 0.9%. Sie wächst allerdings keinesfalls gleichmässig im Raum, sondern mit grossen regionalen Unterschieden: • In den Industrieländern findet nur ein ...................................... oder gar .......................................... Wachstum statt. • Für die meisten Entwicklungsländer jedoch ist ein .................................. Bevölkerungswachstum kennzeichnend. Regionales Bevölkerungswachstum (2024): (Kontinente korrekt einsetzen) 2.3% 0.8% 0.6% 0.1% 0.7% Welt -0.3% 0.9% Aufgabe 1: In einem Land mit 10 Mio. Einwohner kommen jährlich 500...

1. Der Gast ist der Ernstfall : Khách hàng là ưu tiên hàng đầu Tất cả khách hàng phải được đối xử bình đẳng; không được phép phân biệt đối xử. Việc đáp ứng nhu cầu của khách hàng luôn phải được đặt lên hàng đầu. Alle Kunden sind gleich zu behandeln; eine differenzierte Behandlung ist unzulässig. Die Berücksichtigung der Kundenbedürfnisse hat dabei stets oberste Priorität. 2. Respekt gegen deinen Kollegen / Kolleginnen: Tôn trọng đồng nghiệp Tuổi tác của đồng nghiệp không quan trọng. Sự tôn trọng luôn là nguyên tắc cao nhất và áp dụng cho tất cả mọi người. Das Alter der Kolleginnen und Kollegen ist unerheblich. Respekt ist stets oberstes Gebot und gilt für alle gleichermaßen. 3. Arbeitszeiten / Pausen / Ruhezeiten: Thời gian làm việc / Nghỉ giải lao / Thời gian nghỉ ngơi Mỗi nhân viên phải có mặt tại cửa hàng trước giờ làm 15 phút, mặc đầy đủ và đúng trang phục làm việc. Công ty tuân theo các quy định pháp luật về Luật Thời gian Lao động. Các quy định này phải được tuân thủ, trừ những trường hợp đặc biệt không thể lường trước để duy trì hoạt động của cơ sở. Jeder Mitarbeiter muss 15 Minuten vor Beginn seiner Schicht ordnungsgemäß in Arbeitskleidung im Laden erscheinen. Wir unterliegen die folgende gesetzliche Bestimmung des Arbeitszeitgesetzes. Diese Bestimmungen sind einzuhalten, soweit nicht in unvorhersehbaren außergewöhnlichen Einzelfällen der Betrieb nicht anders aufrecht gehalten werden kann. Arbeitszeitgesetz: Luật Thời gian Lao động (ArbZG): §3 Arbeitszeit der Arbeitnehmer: Thời gian làm việc: Thời gian làm việc trong ngày không được vượt quá 8 giờ. Có thể kéo dài đến 10 giờ nếu trong vòng 6 tháng hoặc 24 tuần, trung bình không vượt quá 8 giờ/ngày. Die werktägliche Arbeitszeit der Arbeitnehmer darf acht Stunden nicht überschreiten. Sie kann auf bis zu zehn Stunden nur verlängert werden, wenn innerhalb von sechs Kalendermonaten oder innerhalb von 24 Wochen im Durchschnitt acht Stunden werktäglich nicht überschritten werden. §4 Ruhepausen: Nghỉ giải lao: Ít nhất 30 phút đối với ca làm từ trên 6 đến 9 giờ von mindestens 30 Minuten bei einer Arbeitszeit von mehr als sechs bis zu neun Stunden 45 phút đối với ca làm trên 9 giờ Nghỉ giải lao có thể chia thành nhiều lần, mỗi lần ít nhất 15 phút. von 45 Minuten bei einer Arbeitszeit von mehr als neun Stunden insgesamt zu unterbrechen. Die Ruhepausen können in Zeitabschnitte von jeweils mindestens 15 Minuten aufgeteilt werden §5 Ruhezeit: Thời gian nghỉ: Sau khi kết thúc ca làm, người lao động phải có ít nhất 11 giờ nghỉ liên tục. Theo quy định của EU, người lao động phải được nghỉ ít nhất 1 ngày mỗi tuần, ngày nghỉ có thể linh hoạt. Do đó, nhân viên có thể làm việc tối đa 12 ngày liên tiếp nếu ngày nghỉ được bố trí phù hợp. Do yêu cầu công việc, nhân viên có thể được phân công làm ca gãy (Teildienst) trong 50% thời gian làm việc. Die Arbeitnehmer müssen nach Beendigung der täglichen Arbeitszeit eine ununterbrochene Ruhezeit von mindestens elf Stunden haben. EU-weit müssen Arbeitgeber ihren Angestellten mindestens in jeder Woche einen freien Tag gewähren. Variabel ist jedoch, auf welchen Tag dieser Ruhetag gelegt wird. Es muss nicht immer der letzte Tag der Woche sein. Dies bedeutet, dass Arbeitnehmer in der Europäischen Union zur Arbeit an bis zu 12 Tagen am Stück verpflichtet werden können, wenn der Arbeitgeber die Ruhetage entsprechend an den Anfang der ersten und das Ende der zweiten Arbeitswoche legt. Aufgrund betrieblicher Anforderungen kann der Mitarbeiter an 50% des Arbeitstages auch im sogenannten Teildienst eingesetzt werden. 4. Krankmeldungen / Arbeitsverhinderung / Zuspätkommen: Báo ốm / Không thể đi làm / Đi trễ Mọi trường hợp nghỉ làm, đi trễ và thời gian dự kiến đều phải báo ngay lập tức bằng điện thoại cho quản lý hoặc trưởng ca. Thông báo qua email, SMS, WhatsApp hoặc các hình thức khác không được chấp nhận. Theo yêu cầu, nhân viên phải nêu rõ lý do không thể làm việc. Nếu nhân viên không đến làm theo lịch mà không báo trước, có thể bị sa thải ngay lập tức. Jede Arbeitsverhinderung, jedes Zuspätkommen sowie die voraussichtliche Dauer sind unverzüglich und telefonisch an den Betriebsleiter oder mindestens den Schichtleiter zu melden. Benachrichtigungen per E-Mail, SMS, WhatsApp oder ähnliche Kommunikationsmittel sind nicht ausreichend. Auf Verlangen sind die Gründe für die Arbeitsunfähigkeit mitzuteilen. Erscheint ein Mitarbeiter trotz Eintragung im Dienstplan nicht zur Arbeit, kann dies eine fristlose Kündigung zur Folge haben. 5. Bestellung / Bonieren / Ware: Đặt món / In hóa đơn / Hàng hóa Mọi đơn hàng nhận được ở bất kỳ vị trí nào đều phải được nhập hóa đơn ngay lập tức. Nhà bếp và quầy chỉ được xuất hàng khi có hóa đơn hợp lệ. Thu tiền hoặc giao hàng không có hóa đơn được xem là hành vi gian lận và có thể dẫn đến sa thải ngay lập tức. Alle an jeder Stelle entgegengenommenen Bestellungen müssen unverzüglich und ausnahmslos boniert werden. In der Küche sowie an der Theke darf Ware ausschließlich gegen Vorlage eines Bons herausgegeben werden. Ohne ordnungsgemäßen Bon ist die Herausgabe von Ware untersagt. Das Kassieren von unbonierter Ware oder die Ausgabe von Ware ohne Bon stellt einen Betrug dar und kann zur sofortigen, fristlosen Kündigung führen. 6. Börsen / Kellner-Geldbeutel / Rücksäcke: Ví tiền / Túi đựng tiền / Ba lô Nhân viên làm việc với tiền mặt có trách nhiệm đặc biệt đối với ví tiền của mình. A) Anketten von Börsen / Verlust der Börse: Móc khóa ví / Mất ví: Ví tiền luôn phải được móc khóa. Nếu vẫn bị mất, nhân viên tự chịu trách nhiệm thiệt hại. Mitarbeitern Ihre Börse gestohlen oder verloren wurde. Börsen sind immer anzuketten. Bei Verschwindet dennoch eine Börse, so trägt der Mitarbeiter den Verlust. B) Börsendifferenzen: Chênh lệch tiền: Nhân viên đồng ý bù các khoản thiếu hụt có thể xác định rõ là do mình gây ra, hoặc khoản đó sẽ được trừ vào lương. Nếu thừa tiền có lợi cho nhân viên, CôCô sẽ hoàn trả lại. Der Mitarbeiter erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass bei der Tagesabrechnung auftretende etwaige Fehlbeträge, die eindeutig ihm zugeordnet werden können, nachentrichtet oder im Rahmen der Lohnabrechnung als Vorschuss behandelt werden, Etwaige Zählfehler zugunsten des Mitarbeiters wird CôCô diesem natürlich wieder auszahlen. C) Börsen Kontrolle Rücksäcke: Kiểm tra ví và túi cá nhân: Để bảo vệ lợi ích của nhân viên trung thực, CôCô có quyền kiểm tra ví tiền, ba lô, túi xách.

THE SISKIYOU, JULY 1989 by T. C. Boyle This is the way it begins, on a summer night so crammed with stars the Milky Way looks like a white plastic sack strung out across the roof of the sky. No moon, though—that wouldn’t do at all. And no sound, but for the discontinuous trickle of water, the muted patter of cheap tennis sneakers on the ghostly surface of the road and the sustained applause of the crickets. It’s a dirt road, a logging road, in fact, but Tyrone Tierwater wouldn’t want to call it a road. He’d call it a scar, a gash, an open wound in the body corporal of the forest. But for the sake of convenience, let’s identify it as a road. In daylight, trucks pound over it, big D7 Cats, loaders, wood-chippers. It’s a road. And he’s on it. He’s moving along purposively, all but invisible in the abyss of shadow beneath the big Douglas firs. If your eyes were adjusted to the dark and you looked closely enough, you might detect his three companions, the night disarranging itself ever so casually as they pass: now you see them, now you don’t. All four are dressed identically, in cheap tennis sneakers blackened with shoe polish, two pairs of socks, black tees and sweatshirts, and, of course, the black watchcaps. Where would they be without them? Tierwater had wanted to go further, the whole nine yards, stripes of greasepaint down the bridge of the nose, slick rays of it fanning out across their cheekbones—or better yet, blackface—but Andrea talked him out of it. She can talk him out of anything, because she’s more rational than he, more aggressive, because she has a better command of the language and eyes that bark after weakness like hounds—but then she doesn’t have half his capacity for paranoia, neurotic display, pessimism or despair. Things can go wrong. They do. They will. He tried to tell her that, but she wouldn’t listen. They were back in the motel room at the time, on the unfledged strip of the comatose town of Grants Pass, Oregon, where they were registered under the name of Mr. and Mrs. James Watt. He was nervous—butterflies in the stomach, termites in the head—nervous and angry. Angry at the loggers, Oregon, the motel room, her. Outside, three steps from the door, Teo’s Chevy Caprice (anonymous gray, with the artfully smudged plates) sat listing in its appointed slot. He came out of the bathroom with a crayon in one hand, a glittering, shrink-wrapped package of Halloween face paint in the other. There were doughnuts on the bed in a staved-in carton, paper coffee cups subsiding into the low fiberboard table. “Forget it, Ty,” she said. “I keep telling you, this is nothing, the first jab in a whole long bout. You think I’d take Sierra along if I wasn’t a hundred percent sure it was safe? It’s going to be a stroll in the park, it is.” A moment evaporated. He looked at his daughter, but she had nothing to say, her head cocked in a way that indicated she was listening, but only reflexively. The TV said, “—and these magnificent creatures, their range shrinking, can no longer find the mast to sustain them, let alone the carrion.” He tried to smile, but the appropriate muscles didn’t seem to be working. He had misgivings about the whole business, especially when it came to Sierra— but as he stood there listening to the insects sizzle against the bug zapper outside the window, he understood that “misgivings” wasn’t exactly the word he wanted. Misgivings? How about crashing fears, terrors, night-sweats? The inability to swallow? A heart ground up like glass? There were people out there who weren’t going to like what the four of them were planning to do to that road he didn’t want to call a road. Bosses, under-bosses, heavy machine operators, CEOs, power-lunchers, police, accountants. Not to mention all those good, decent, hard-working and terminally misguided timber families, the men in baseball caps and red suspenders, the women like tented houses, people who spent their spare time affixing loops of yellow ribbon to every shrub, tree, doorknob, mailbox and car antenna in every town up and down the coast. They had mortgages, trailers, bass boats, plans for the future, and the dirt-blasted bumpers of their pickups sported stickers that read Save a Skunk, Roadkill an Activist and Do You Work for a Living or Are You an Environmentalist? They were angry— born angry—and they didn’t much care about physical restraint, one way or the other. Talk about misgivings—his daughter is only thirteen years old, for all her Gothic drag and nose ring and the cape of hair that drapes her shoulders like an advertisement, and she’s never participated in an act of civil disobedience in her life, not even a daylit rally with minicams whirring and a supporting cast of thousands. “Come on,” he pleaded, “just under the eyes, then. To mask the glow.” Andrea just shook her head. She looked good in black, he had to admit it, and the watchcap, riding low over her eyebrows, was a very sexy thing. They’d been married three months now, and everything about her was a novelty and a revelation, right down to the way she stepped into her jeans in the morning or pouted over a saucepan of ratatouille, a thin strip of green pepper disappearing between her lips while the steam rose witchily in her hair. “What if the police pull us over?” she said. “Ever think of that? What’re you going to say—‘The game really ran late tonight, officer’? Or ‘Gee, it was a great old-timey minstrel show—you should have been there.’ ” She was the one with the experience here—she was the organizer, the protestor, the activist—and she wasn’t giving an inch. “The trouble with you,” she said, running a finger under the lip of her cap, “is you’ve been watching too many movies.” Maybe so. But you couldn’t really call the proposition relevant, not now, not here. This is the wilderness, or what’s left of it. The night is deep, the road intangible, the stars the feeblest mementos of the birth of the universe. There are nine galaxies out there for each person alive today, and each of those galaxies features 100 billion suns, give or take the odd billion, and yet he can barely see where he’s going, groping like a sleepwalker, one foot stabbing after the other. This is crazy, he’s thinking, this is trouble, like stumbling around in a cave waiting for the bottom to fall out. He’s wondering if the others are having as hard a time as he is, thinking vaguely about beta carotene supplements and night-vision goggles, when an owl chimes in somewhere ahead of them, a single wavering cry that says it has something strangled in its claws. His daughter, detectable only through the rhythmic snap of her gum, asks in a theatrical whisper if that could be a spotted owl, “I mean hopefully, by any chance?” He can’t see her face, the night a loose-fitting jacket, his mind ten miles up the road, and he answers before he can think: “Don’t I wish.” Right beside him, from the void on his left, another voice weighs in, the voice of Andrea, his second wife, the wife who is not Sierra’s biological mother and so free to take on the role of her advocate in all disputes, tiffs, misunderstandings, misrepresentations and adventures gone wrong: “Give the kid a break, Ty.” And then, in a whisper so soft it’s like a feather floating down out of the night, “Sure it is, honey, that’s a spotted owl if ever I heard one.” Tierwater keeps walking, the damp working odor of the nighttime woods in his nostrils, the taste of it on his tongue—mold transposed to another element, mold ascendant—but he’s furious suddenly. He doesn’t like this. He doesn’t like it at all. He knows it’s necessary, knows the woods are being raped and the world stripped right on down to the last twig and that somebody’s got to save it, but still he doesn’t like it. His voice, cracking with the strain, leaps out ahead of him: “Keep it down, will you? We’re supposed to be stealthy here— this is illegal, what we’re doing, remember? Christ, you’d think we were on a nature walk or something, And here’s where the woodpecker lives, and here the giant forest fern.” A chastened silence, into which the crickets pour all their Orthopteran angst, but it can’t hold. One more voice enters the mix, an itch of the larynx emanating from the vacancy to his right. This is Teo, Teo Van Sparks. Now he’s a voice on the EF! circuit (Eco-Agitator, that’s what his card says), thirty-one years old, a weightlifter with the biceps, triceps, lats and abs to prove it, and there isn’t anything about the natural world he doesn’t know. At least not that he’ll admit. “Sorry, kids,” he says, “but by most estimates they’re down to less than five hundred breeding pairs in the whole range, from BC down to the Southern Sierra, so I doubt—” “Fewer,” Andrea corrects, in her pedantic mode. She’s in charge here tonight, and she’s going to rein them all in, right on down to the finer points of English grammar and usage. If it was just a question of giving out instructions in a methodical, dispassionate voice, that would be one thing— but she’s so supercilious, so self-satisfied, cocky, bossy. He’s not sure he can take it. Not tonight. “Fewer, right. So what I’m saying is, more likely it’s your screech or flammulated or even your great gray. Of course, we’d have to hear its call to be sure. The spotted’s a high-pitched hoot, usually in groups of fours or threes, very fast, crescendoing.” “Call, why don’t you,” Sierra whispers, and the silence of the night is no silence at all but the screaming backdrop to some imminent and catastrophic surprise. “So you can make it call back. Then we’ll know, right?” Is it his imagination, or can he feel the earth slipping out from under him? He’s blind, totally blind, his shoulders hunched in anticipation of...

Fotografie a trei probe de discuri subțiri din oxid de aluminiu, care au fost plasate pe o pagină tipărită pentru a demonstra diferențele lor în caracteristicile transmitanței luminii. 25 Nanoscală • Sisteme atomice și moleculare • Steructuri electronice și cuantice Microscală • Sisteme microelectromencanice • Microstructura materialelor Macroscală • Sisteme inginerești • Materiale masive și structuri din componente asamblate Scala meterialelor: sisteme și structuri 26 Analiza structurii materialelor În funcție de scara de examinare, structura analizată poate fi: • macrosctructura • microstructura • structura fină / reticulară • atomică • nucleară 27 Analiza materialelor – scara de mărire • S tructura macroscopic ă pus ă î n eviden ță cu microscopul stereo, cu lupa sau cu ochiul liber; • S tructura microscopic ă - microscopul metalografic optic cu m ăriri de p â n ă la 2000 de ori , sau cu cel electronic până la sute de mii de ori; • S tructura fin ă sau reticular ă - modul cum sunt a ș eza ț i atomii î n re ț eaua cristalin ă - microscopie electronic ă , ionic ă sau difrac ție de radiații X; • S tructura atomic ă - modul î n care sunt alc ă tui ț i atomii; • S tructura nuclear ă se refer ă la par ț ile constitutive ale nucleului. 28 Analiza macroscopică Analiza macroscopică precede analizei microscopice. Se realizează pe suprafețe mari și permite punerea în evidență a comportării materialului în timpul prelucrarilor, sau în timpul încercărilor mecanice. 29 Dupa modul de rupere, in general materialele pot fi: fragile (se rup fara deformatii plastice insemnate in regiunea de rupere) ductile ( ruperea este insotita de aparitia unor puternice deformatii plastice in regiunea de rupere ). 30 Suprafețe de rupere Un tip de rupere este ruperea la oboseală (rupere în serviciu) - are loc sub acțiunea unor sarcini variabile mici. O suprafață de rupere la oboseală prezintă trei zone: • zona amorsei de rupere = constituie un concentrator de tensiuni • zona de propagare stabilă a microstructurii (lisă / netedă) • zona de rupere finală / de propagare instabilă a microfisurilor 31 Structura microscopică Structura microscopică a materialelor descrie modul de alcătuire a materialelor din faze sau asocieri de faze și face obiectul analizei microscopice. Analiza microscopică poate fi: • optică (calitativa sau cantitativa); • electronică (prin baleiaj sau prin transmisie).

3.3. Cultura popular y Pop art. El arte Pop en España y las Islas Baleares El Pop Art (Art-Pop, “Arte Popular”) fue un movimiento artístico surgido a finales de los años cincuenta en Inglaterra y en Estados Unidos, y se convirtió en el estilo característico de los años sesenta. El Pop Art se inspira en el arte popular de la sociedad de consumo para crear obras accesibles al público. Puede afirmarse que el Pop Art es el resultado de un estilo de vida: la manifestación plástica de una cultura pop caracterizada por la tecnología, las modas y el consumismo, donde los objetos dejan de ser únicos para pensarse como productos en serie IMPORTANTE • El Pop Art se interpreta como una reacción al Informalismo y al Expresionismo abstracto. • Recibe influencias de la Nueva Figuración europea. • Influencias del Dadaísmo y del Surrealismo. • Los antecedentes más directos son el Neodadáismo y el collage. • I was a Rich Man 's Plaything (1947) puede considerarse la primera obra pop antes del Pop Art como movimiento. • El término “Pop Art” fue utilizado por primera vez en 1954 para denominar el arte popular que estaban creando la publicidad, el diseño industrial, el cartelismo… • El Pop Art como movimiento artístico surgió a mediados de la década de 1950 en el Reino Unido. El collage Just What Is It That Makes Today 's Homes So Different, So Appealing? (1956), de Hamilton, se considera el manifiesto del Pop Art. • En Estados Unidos, el Pop Art comienza en la década de 1960. Los dos artistas más destacados son Roy Lichtenstein y Andy Warhol. • En España destaca Equipo Crónica a finales de los 60 y primeros años 70 del s. XX. Cronología Las características fundamentales del Pop Art son: • La estética inspirada en objetos de la cultura popular de la nueva sociedad de consumo (comics, revistas, publicidad, cine…) y la idea de que no existe distinción entre cultura popular y cultura elevada: ambas son lo mismo. • Surge como reacción contraria al expresionismo abstracto, alejado de la realidad y de la comprensión del público. • Utiliza imágenes y temas del mundo de la comunicación de masas. • Temática extraída del medio urbano de las grandes ciudades del primer mundo y de sus aspectos sociales y culturales: comics, revistas, prensa sensacionalista, fotografias… • El arte se convierte en un objeto más de consumo. • Se pretendía eliminar de la obra de arte los signos de manualidad: a menudo se busca la frialdad • Muchas obras se hacen a partir de diapositivas proyectadas sobre el lienzo, plantillas, el collage y el fotomontaje, y nuevas técnicas de reproducción. • A veces se busca el efecto estético del papel couché de las revistas • Tratamiento pictórico no tradicional: el lenguaje es figurativo y representa objetos reales, pero combina cualidades y abstractas. Aunque es figurativo, no busca realismo. • Representación fría, inexpresiva. • Ausencia de planteamiento crítico: los temas se conciben como simples “motivos” gráficos que justifican la obra. En algunos autores se aplica más. -Representantes Pop Art británico (más irónico y “distanciado”) • Richard Hamilton: Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing? (1956) → collage-manifiesto: hogar moderno lleno de iconos del consumo. • Eduardo Paolozzi: collages con imágenes americanas, tecnologia, cultura de masas. Pop Art estadounidense (más directo, industrial, mediático) • Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Cans, Marilyn, Brillo Boxes → repeticion, serigrafía, iconos. • Roy Lichtenstein: vin etas de comic ampliadas, puntos Ben-Day, onomatopeyas (Whaam!). • Claes Oldenburg: objetos cotidianos gigantes (escultura blanda o monumental). • James Rosenquist: estética publicitaria en grandes murales. 3.3.1 La cultura popular y su relación con el Art - La relación entre la publicidad y el Pop art. La relación entre la publicidad y el Pop Art es esencial. Ambos comparten un lenguaje basado en la simplicidad, la repetición y el impacto inmediato. El Pop Art adopta las estrategias visuales de la publicidad, pero en un espacio artístico. Muchos artistas pop trabajaron previamente en el ámbito publicitario, lo que explica su dominio del diseño gráfico y la comunicación visual. En Estados Unidos, esto a veces celebraba o se burlaba del consumo exagerado, pero en España, donde no se podía decir todo lo que uno quería, usar esta estética publicitaria servía como una forma indirecta de criticar. Artistas como el Equipo Crónica podían mostrar la manipulación de los medios y las desigualdades sociales que se escondían detrás de la normalidad del consumo.

Thème 1: l’organisation politique de la société humaine On va parler de St Augustin et Thomas D’aquin Dans tout les Etats modernes, il y a nécessairement une organisation politique, elle est nécessaire pour une vie en collectivité. Les gouvernants prendront les décisions à la place et au nom des gouvernés (citoyens), c ce qu’on appelle couramment les dirigeants politiques. En définitif, dans tt les Etats il y a des gouvernants et des gouvernés. I/ La nécessité d’une organisation politique La question qui se pose est celle de savoir si tt société humaine doit être organisée politiquement ? En d’autres termes, on veut savoir si les H et les F peuvent vivre en société sans une organisation politique. La politique a pour fonction principal de présider à l’unité du groupe qui a choisi de passer de la communauté à la société. Depuis très longtemps est posée la question du pv et du politique. De nombreux politologues, sociologues et philosophes, se sont posés la question de savoir d’où vient le droit que certains ont de gouverner? Pq distingue t on dans a peu près tt les sociétés humaines d’un coté des gouvernés et de l’autre des gouvernants? A quoi sert le pv politique ? A ces questions, plusieurs réponses ont été donné qui en définitif tournent ttes autour de l’idée de légitimité. Dans la plupart des états, des pays, il est possible de soutenir l’idée que le pv (le chef) est une nécessité pour une multitude. Le pv est indispensable pour donner une certaine cohérence, c un bien pour le groupe humain car il lui apporte bcp de choses. En résumé, le pv politique serait bien pour la société humaine qu’il gouverne. Par exemple pdnt l’antiquité la conception de la Cité était celle d’une entité purement humaine. La cité était un groupe d’Hommes qui menait une vie commune en vue du bonheur collectif. Athene, en Grèce, avait d’ailleurs developer une conception collectiviste et communiste de la vie collective (en organisant des spectacles, des oeuvres musicales, afin de rendre la vie paisible). On peut tirer la conclusion comme quoi l’apparition d’un groupe composé de plusieurs hommes et femmes créé des droits mais aussi des obligations dont il faut assurer le respect —> il faut nécessairement un chef, avec la formule selon laquelle certains commande et les autres obéissent. La question de l’autorité a été considéré comme central dans tte la pensée politique puisqu’elle met en jeu le statut de la légitimité, mais cette question a donné lieu également à des interrogations, des divergences doctrinales, pq une minorité doit gouverner une majorité? St augustin est l’un des auteur à affirmer que « la nature ne donne par elle même aucun pv à l’Homme sur les autres Hommes, puisqu’ils sont égaux en raison de leur création et de leur filiation divine. Entre des êtres égaux et libres, tous appelé à la même destiné céleste, l’existence d’un pv est un scandale » il n’est pas d’accord, pour lui tt les hommes sont égaux. Au delà de cette affirmation augustinienne, tte société humaine, du fait même du nom, suppose nécessairement une structure gouvernante Pour St A°, la source du pv ne peut résider dans des volontés humaines égales entre elles, elle provient de dieu, qui peut être seul la source de l’autorité, car le pv est d’origine divine et celui qui l’exerce est tenu de respecter certaines conditions pour demeurer légitime. St A° perçois deux idées principales : Le pv doit d’abord viser la justice car c’est bien le moins que l’on puisse attendre du détenteur d’un pv qui à sa cause dans la providence, or st A°, a de la justice, la même conception que Platon ; c’est une valeur absolue, transcendante, immuable, éternel ect…. En effet, faute d’être juste, le pv disqualifie lui-même son titre gouvernant. Il perd ses vertus de gouvernant : prudence, tempérance et la force… Dans ce cas le régime devient déséquilibré puisque sa puissance demeure intacte alors que il a perdu ce qui justifiait son attribution. Il est vrai que sans la justice, tt les excès deviennent possible, ce que st A° résume en une formule « que les empires sont la justice ne sont que des ramassis de brigands ». En définitif, pour parler comme Ciceron, l’exigence augustinien de justice oblige donc l’Etat à rendre à chacun selon ce qui lui est dit. Pour lui, les gouvernants sont désignés pour être au service de la société, de la collectivité, quelque soit la société humaine considéré et qlq soit les choix politiques effectués par le gouvernant, les éléments du biens communs peuvent se ramener à deux ; l’ordre et la justice. En résumé tt l’histoire des sociétés humaines apparait comme une quête de ces deux biens, en effet, l’ordre apparait comme un bien du fait qu’il est l’ordre, la justice est une vertu évidemment politique, l’ordre est une condition de possibilité de poursuivre une politique de justice L’action politique comporte selon lui, 3 fonctions principales : service du commandement, service de prévoyance et d’anticipation, et service de conseil. S’agissant du service de commandement, cette fonction doit s’exercer sans défaillance ni excès (dictatures, dirigeants qualifiés c dictateur…). Selon lui, c’est une charge que tt détenteur du pv politique doit assumer, c’est le cas du président de la république, ou du premier ministre dans certains régimes parlementaires. Ensuite, le service de prévoyance et d’anticipation permet aux citoyens de mener une vie paisible, pour cela l’autorité doit déterminer et hiérarchiser les besoins de la pop, en d’autre terme, il doit satisfaire les demandes des citoyens. Enfin, le service du conseil oblige celui qui assure les fonctions d’autorités à utiliser son savoir et son expérience en faveur des autres. Selon lui, par cette fonction, sont alors apaisé ou prévenu les querelles, les contestations, les violences… et permet d’apaiser la paix publique. Comme tt les penseurs chrétiens de son époque, st Thomas d° est également confronté à la délicate question : comment justifier l’existence parmi les hommes d’un pv politique ? Pour lui, Dieu a fait tt les hommes égaux et libres. Dès lors, comment peut il s’introduire de l’inégalité entre des êtres égaux puisque l’existence du pv conduis inévitablement à distinguer ceux qui gouvernent et ceux qui sont gouvernés. St Thomas D° reprends la questions et la résout en 2 propositions : Le pv politique est une nécessité rationnelle, mais il a une origine divine. Car celui ci dans son rôle, est irremplaçable. Il affirme « si donc la nature de l’Homme veut qu’il vive en société, il est nécessaire qu’il y est parmi les hommes de quoi gouverner la multitude », en effet il ne peut y avoir de société humaine sans gouvernement, le gv étant destiné a faire prévaloir la paix, l’intérêt commun, l’intérêt général. En définitif, pour lui, il y a une origine divine du pv politique. Pq tt société humaine aurait elle absolument besoin d’être gouvernée, alors que l’Homme créé par Dieu, est infiniment libre, parfaitement raisonnable, et qu’il est parfaitement capable de se diriger par lui même. Or pour vivre en société, il faut nécessairement une autorité supérieure, qui aura pour mission de veiller à la réalisation du bien commun, il s’agit la d’une exigence de la nature humaine, le bien commun est le fondement et le but de tt système politique. II/ Les rapports entre le droit et la politique La politique se présente comme une activité visant à organiser la vie sociale et à harmoniser les interêts concurrents en vu d’un bien commun d’une société. Le pv doit tenter de se limiter et de s’organiser, il doit chercher une légitimation que seul le droit peut lui assurer. Le droit apparait dans ce cas comme la mesure et le limite du pv politique, dans de nbrx Etats, l’activité politique est désormais saisi par les normes juridiques, les règles juridiques. Les relations entre le droit et la politique sont aussi diverses que celles entre le droit et le pouvoir. « Le droit c’est la vie » disent les juristes. Le problème des rapports de la société politique et des droit et ainsi préalable à toute théorie de la société politique et de l’Etat. Distinct par leurs cheminements à travers les siècles et par l’objet et le mobile qui les animent, l’ordre juridique et la société politique a eu une phase récente d’évolution rapprochée. La complexité des rapports de la société politique et du droit se trouve au centre, en effet, est il possible de parler d’une activité politique sans normes et règles juridiques ? Le doit a tjs été considéré comme l’un des instruments privilégiés du pv politique dont sa fonction est créatrice d’ordres. En effet, pour organiser la vie en société, le pv politique édicte des normes juridiques, des règles juridiques, la norme la plus connue est la loi. La violation de ces normes est sanctionné par le juge. La vie politique française est ajd encadré par des règles juridiques, on parle de la juridicisation de la vie politique, de la parité homme-femme, de la limitation du cumul des mandats, le financement des partis politiques, la déclaration du patrimoine. En résumé, l‘encadrement de la vie politique par des règles juridiques est une très bonne chose dans une société démocratique tant pour les citoyens qui commence à se désintéresser de la politique mais aussi pour les hommes politiques eux même. Historiquement, le droit a été longtemps considéré comme second par rapport a la politique, comme un accessoire, et l’homme politique pouvait déroger librement à la règle politique. Les règles qui régissent la v...

Prompt engineering is the art and science of crafting instructions that guide AI language models to produce desired outputs. Think of it as learning to communicate effectively with AI systems to achieve specific goals. Why is it important? You don't need to be a programmer to use AI effectively Good prompts can dramatically improve AI performance It's an iterative skill that improves with practice It's becoming essential for productivity in many fields Prompt engineering vs. context engineering Prompt engineering = crafting the instruction you give the model. Context engineering = curating the information the model can see when following that instruction. Quick contrast Aspect Prompt engineering Context engineering Goal Tell the model how to behave and what to produce Give the model the facts/examples it should rely on Levers Wording, structure, roles, constraints, output schema, few-shot examples Retrieval (RAG), documents, knowledge bases, tools/APIs, memory, state across turns Typical changes “Be concise. Return valid JSON with fields X/Y/Z.” “Attach the company glossary, latest policy PDF, and retrieved passages for this query.” Failure mode Vague instructions → messy/incorrect format Missing/irrelevant info → hallucinations/outdated answers Ownership UX/prompt designers, app devs Data/ML/platform teams (pipelines, indexing, chunking, evals) How they work together Start with a good prompt: clear task, constraints, and an output contract (e.g., JSON schema). Then ground it with context: supply only the most relevant passages, tables, and tool results. The prompt guides behavior; the context supplies knowledge. You usually need both. Concrete examples Invoice → JSON extractor Prompt engineering: “Extract fields {vendor, date, total}. Return JSON only. If a field is missing, use null.” Context engineering: Provide a few labeled examples and attach the vendor’s invoice spec retrieved via embeddings. Policy Q&A bot Prompt engineering: “Answer using the attached passages; if unsure, say ‘Not in policy.’ Cite section IDs.” Context engineering: RAG over your policy repo (chunking, metadata filters like department=HR, freshness boosts), plus a recency cache for updates. Agentic workflow Prompt engineering: Tool-use instructions and function signatures. Context engineering: Feed tool responses (DB rows, API payloads) back into the context window each step; maintain short-term memory/state. Practical tips Keep prompts short, specific, and testable; define output schemas. Prefer few-shot examples only when they generalize; otherwise move them into retrieval. For context: optimize chunking, ranking, deduping, and token budgets; log what was retrieved for each answer. Add citations and “answer only from context” instructions when correctness matters. Evaluate both layers separately: prompt A/B tests and retrieval quality (precision/recall, groundedness). One-liner: Prompt engineering is how you ask; context engineering is what you show. Combine them for reliable, scalable LLM apps. Understanding Large Language Models How LLMs Work (The Basics) Large Language Models are prediction engines that: Take text input (your prompt) Predict the next most likely word/token Continue this process to generate complete responses Base predictions on patterns learned from training data Key Concept: Autocompletion LLMs don't "understand" in the human sense—they're sophisticated autocomplete systems. Your prompt sets up the context for what should come next. Essential Configuration Settings Before diving into prompt techniques, understand these key parameters that control AI behavior: Temperature (0-1) Low (0-0.3): Focused, consistent, deterministic responses Medium (0.4-0.7): Balanced creativity and consistency High (0.8-1.0): Creative, diverse, but potentially unpredictable When to use: Temperature 0: Math problems, factual questions Temperature 0.7: Creative writing, brainstorming Temperature 0.9: Poetry, experimental content Output Length/Token Limits Controls maximum response length Higher limits = more computational cost Set appropriately for your task needs Top-K and Top-P (Nucleus Sampling) Top-K: Limits choices to top K most likely tokens Top-P: Limits choices based on cumulative probability Work together with temperature to control randomness Recommended starting points: Conservative: Temperature 0.1, Top-P 0.9, Top-K 20 Balanced: Temperature 0.2, Top-P 0.95, Top-K 30 Creative: Temperature 0.9, Top-P 0.99, Top-K 40 Fundamental Prompting Techniques 1. Zero-Shot Prompting The simplest approach—just ask directly without examples. Example: Classify this movie review as positive, negative, or neutral: "The film was visually stunning but the plot felt rushed." When to use: Simple, well-defined tasks When the model has clear knowledge of the domain Quick one-off requests 2. One-Shot Prompting Provide a single example to guide the response format. Example: Translate English to French: English: "Hello, how are you?" French: "Bonjour, comment allez-vous?" English: "Where is the library?" French: 3. Few-Shot Prompting Provide multiple examples to establish a clear pattern. Example: Convert customer feedback to structured data: Feedback: "Great service, but food was cold" JSON: {"service": "positive", "food": "negative", "overall": "mixed"} Feedback: "Amazing experience, will definitely return" JSON: {"service": "positive", "food": "positive", "overall": "positive"} Feedback: "Terrible food and rude staff" JSON: Best practices: Use 3-5 examples for most tasks Include diverse examples Mix up the classes in classification tasks Ensure examples are high-quality and consistent 4. System Prompting Set overall context and behavior guidelines. Example: You are a helpful travel guide. Provide practical, accurate information about destinations. Always include: - Key attractions - Local customs to be aware of - Budget considerations - Best time to visit User: Tell me about visiting Tokyo. 5. Role Prompting Assign a specific character or expertise to the AI. Example: Act as an experienced software architect. I need help designing a scalable web application for 1 million users. What architecture patterns should I consider? Effective roles: Subject matter expert (doctor, lawyer, teacher) Creative roles (writer, designer, poet) Analytical roles (data analyst, consultant) Communication styles (friendly tutor, formal advisor) 6. Contextual Prompting Provide specific background information relevant to the task. Example: Context: You're writing for a tech blog aimed at beginners who have never coded before. Write a 200-word explanation of what an API is, using simple language and practical examples. Advanced Prompting Strategies Chain of Thought (CoT) Prompting Encourage step-by-step reasoning for complex problems. Example: Solve this step by step: If I was 6 when my sister was half my age, how old is my sister when I'm 40? Let me think through this step by step: When to use: Math problems Logical reasoning Complex analysis Multi-step processes Best practices: Use "Let's think step by step" or similar phrases Set temperature to 0 for consistent reasoning Extract final answers separately from reasoning Self-Consistency Generate multiple reasoning paths and select the most common answer. Process: Ask the same question multiple times with different phrasings Compare the answers Choose the most frequently occurring result Example: Question: If a store offers a 20% discount on a $50 item, what is the final price? Generate 3 different reasoning paths for this question and select the most consistent answer. Path 1: To find the final price, calculate the discount: 20% of $50 is 0.20 × 50 = $10.

Marketing

-Потребите на луѓето се од биолошки, географски и од општествено-историски карактер. Обемот и структурата на потребите зависи од многу фактори: - достигнатиот степен на економски развој; - социјалната средина во која се живее; - природните услови - навиките, вкусот, модата итн. -Потребите ја изразуваат состојбата на организмот или на социјалната ситуација и упатуваат на нарушена биолошка или социјална рамнотежа. -Потребата е недостаток или вишок на нештата во организмот или средината која го поттикнува организмот на активност за да ја постигне рамнотежата. -Во теоријата на маркетингот постојат различни класификации на потребите. Најчесто се класифицираат во две групи:13 1. Основни потреби – потреби за одржување на живот. 2. Потреби на стандард – потреби за комфорно живеење, користење на технички достигнувања, културен живот и сл. -Според носителите на потребите, тие се делат на:14 1. Индивидуални човечки потреби, кои се групираат на биолошки и психолошки потреби. 2. Општествени потреби, кои се јавуваат кај човекот како општествено битие, како што се: потребите за организирање, планирање, комуникација, образование итн. -Во маркетингот значајна е поделбата на потребите во зависност од редоследот на нивното задоволување според Маслов. 1. На основата на пирамидата се наоѓаат физиолошките потреби односно биолошки или основни потреби. Без нивно задоволување човекот не може да опстои во живот. Тука спаѓаат потребите за храна, вода, пијалаци, воздух, спиење и сл. 2. Потреби за сигурност – потреби за безбедност и заштита дома, на училиште, на работа и сл. 3. Емоционално врзување – општествени потреби за љубов, пријателство, другарство и сл. 4. Потреби за почитување – признание, самопочитување, статус. 5. Потреба за знаење – разбирање, учење на нови работи, спознавање. 6. Естетски потреби – потреби за убаво. 7. Самоактуелизација – постигнување максимум во животот, самодокажување, самопотрврдување, самореализација. *Успешното идентификување на потребите е основа за успешна сегментација на пазарот. Компаниите тогаш ќе можат поефикасно да ги насочат и приспособат своите маркетиншки напори на потребите на сегментите. *Мотив е внатрешна движечка сила која го поттикнува човекот кон определена активност со крајна цел да се воспостави рамнотежа. Познавањето на мотивите на потрошувачите објаснува зошто купувачите донеле одлука да купат одреден производ, некоја марка на производ или услуга. Мотивите на потрошувачите се дефинираат како непосредни поттикнувачи на акција, односно на купување одредени производи или услуги. *Мотивите на купувањето најчесто се класифицираат во две групи: - рационални мотиви, - емоционални мотиви. *Рационални или како што се нарекуваат економски мотиви на купувањето се таков вид мотиви кои во донесувањето на одлуката за купување поаѓаат од одредени економски причини како што се: квалитет, цена, сигурност, трајностна производот и сл. Во оваа група мотиви спаѓаат:15 - начин на користење на производот, - ефикасност во користењето или употребата, - сигурност на помошна услуга, - можност за зголемување на заработувачката, - зголемување на продуктивноста на трудот, - економичност во набавката и користењето. *Емоционалните мотиви настануваат како резултат на личните, субјективните критериуми во донесувањето на одлуката за купување и изборот се прави врз основа на елементи кои не произлегуваат од логичкото однесување на купувачите. Тука спаѓаат: - задоволување одредени чувства (вид, слух, мирис, вкус), - одржување на видот, - самозаштита, - одмор и рекреација, - достоинство, - општествено признание, - љубопитност и сл. Мотивацискиот процес започнува во моментот кога потрошувачот станува свесендека има одредена потреба. Мотивацискиот процес има три етапи: - етапа на појава на потреба и создавање мотив, - етапа на однесување на потрошувачите, - етапа на купување и задоволување на потребите. *Купувањето е сложен процес затоа што човекот не се однесува рационално во одредени ситуации, односно врз неговата одлука за купување влијаат голем бројобјективни и субјективни фактори, односно стимуланси. Основни фактори се: поединецот, неговото семејство, неговата потесна околина, припадноста во одредена општествена класа, културна, општествено- економска средина и сл. *Реакцијата на купувачите се состои од избор на производ, марка на производ, се избира место на набавка, време и износ на набавка *Процесот на донесување на одлука покажува и кои активности се преземаат при донесување на решенија и како внатрешните и надворешните сили влијаат на размислувањата, оценката и дејствувањето на потрошувачите. *Процесот на донесување одлука за купување поминува низ пет фази:17  Препознавање на потреба;  Прибирање информации;  Оцена на различни алтернативи;  Одлука за купување;  Посткуповен процес. Препознавањето на потребата настанува како резултат на воочување на разликата меѓу посакуваната состојба и вистинската состојба доволна да го поттикне и да го активира процесот на одлучување.18 Потребата може да биде предизвикана од:19 - Внатрешни поттикнувачи (глад, жед и сл.). - Надворешни поттикнувачи (фактори и ситуации што дејствуваат однадвор). Прибирање информации Втора фаза во процесот на купување е кога купувачот е предизвикан да бара повеќе информации. Прибирањето на информациите вклучува ментални и физички активности на потрошувачите. Потрошувачите пребаруваат повеќе извори за да ги добијат потребните информации за избор на производ со кој

Oral exam prep

# Oral exam prep # Notes ## 1. Physical Activity Guidelines **Where they came from:**&#x47;uidelines come from the WHO and national health bodies, based on decades of research showing physical activity prevents disease and improves long-term health. **Prescriptions:** * Adults: **150 min moderate** or **75 min vigorous** activity weekly * **Strength training**: at least **2 days/week** * Older adults: include **balance training** **Why:** Supports cardiovascular health, muscle and bone health, mental health, independence, and reduces risk of chronic disease. *** ## 2. Device-Based Measurement **What it is:** Using objective tools to quantify PA instead of relying on self-reports. **Examples:** * Accelerometers * Pedometers * Heart-rate monitors * GPS devices * Multi-sensor wearables **Strengths:** * Objective → no recall bias * Captures intensity, frequency, duration * Useful for population surveillance **Weaknesses:** * Expensive * Participant burden * Doesn’t capture context * Data processing is complex *** ## 3. Good Sources of PA & Health Information in Ireland * Healthy Ireland (policy + guidelines) * HSE website (public health guidance) * Sport Ireland (programmes, participation data) * CSO (population & health stats) * Healthy Ireland Survey (annual PA data) * Public Health Agency NI (if NI context needed) * WHO Europe (international guidance) *** ## 4. Measuring PA & PA-Related Outcomes **PA Measures:** * Device-based: accelerometers, pedometers * Self-report: IPAQ, GPAQ, travel surveys * Fitness tests: VO2max, step tests **PA-Related Outcomes:** * Sedentary time * Strength (handgrip, sit-to-stand) * Balance * Anthropometrics (BMI, WC) * Clinical markers (BP, glucose, lipids) * Psychosocial outcomes (motivation, QoL) **Key message:** Use multiple methods because PA is multi-dimensional. *** ## 5. Evaluating PA in Ireland * Healthy Ireland Survey (IPAQ-SF) * CSPPA Study (children & adolescents) * Sport Ireland reports * NPAP monitoring (National Physical Activity Plan indicators) *** ## 6. Men on the Move (MOM) **What it is:**&#x41; community-based PA programme targeting physically inactive middle-aged men, delivered via Sport Ireland and Local Sports Partnerships. **Core Components:** * Group sessions (2×/week) * Aerobic + strength training * Behaviour change support (goal setting, social support) * Designed for men who typically avoid structured programmes **Why it works:** * Male-friendly environment * Strong social support * Accessible and low cost * Gradual progression keeps men engaged **Evidence:** * ↑ Fitness * ↑ PA levels * ↓ Weight & waist circumference * High retention * Good acceptability *** ## 7. Study Designs in PA Research **Observational:** * **Cross-sectional:** Snapshot in time, shows associations only. * **Prospective/Longitudinal:** Follow people over time; stronger for causality. **Experimental:** * **RCTs:** Random allocation to intervention/control. Gold standard for causality (e.g., lifestyle vs. metformin for diabetes prevention). *** ## 8. Relative Risk (RR) * RR compares disease risk between groups. * Example: inactive 4% vs. active 2% → RR = 2.0 (inactive = double risk). * RR flipped: active RR = 0.5 (half risk). * **Confidence intervals:** If CI crosses 1.0 → uncertain effect. *** ## 9. Systems Approach to Physical Activity * PA is shaped by the **whole system**, not just individual choices. * Influencing sectors: transport, schools, workplaces, health services, community organisations, policy. * These sectors must collaborate, not operate separately. * Focus: change environments and structures so activity becomes easy and normal. * Small programmes alone cannot shift population activity levels. **Example:**&#x4D;en on the Move acts as a systems approach by combining community delivery, group support, social connection, and accessible structures. *** ## 10. Older Adults Staying Active in a Digital World (Webinar) **Are web/phone interventions viable?** Yes. **Why they work:** * High digital use among older adults (60–80%) * COVID showed strong engagement * Removes barriers: travel, mobility issues, weather * Home-based strength/balance is feasible * Live sessions maintain structure, social contact, and accountability **Challenges:** * Low confidence with platforms (Zoom/Teams) * Tech frustrations (sound/camera issues) * Lower motivation without in-person supervision * Harder to monitor safety (falls, conditions) * Device/internet costs * Harder to teach strength/balance online **Bottom line:**&#x45;ffective if tech support is strong, sessions are simple and safe, and social interaction is built in. Hybrid models are ideal. *** ## 11. Prompting Clients for Moderate Pace Methods: * % max HR: **64–79%** * Walking pace (mile/km time) * RPE * Talk test * Step count * Time to cover distance **Importance:** Helps people understand what “moderate” actually feels like. *** ## 12. Accelerometry **What it measures:** * Body accelerations * Frequency, duration, intensity * Often tri-axial (movement in all directions) **Advantages:** * Real-time concurrent measurement * Detailed intensity/frequency/duration * Stores weeks of data * Low burden * Relatively cheap **Disadvantages:** * Misses certain activities (cycling, stair climbing, load carrying) * Poor capture of upper-body movement when worn on hip * Data cleaning and analysis are time-consuming *** ## 13. Formative Evaluation Occurs during planning/pre-implementation. Includes: * **Problem definition:** norms, behaviours, needs assessment * **Solution generation:** evidence review, theory, practitioner input * **Logic model:** map inputs → actions → outputs → outcomes * **Pilot testing:** observe or run mini trials *** ## 14. Implementation (All Content in One Place) Implementation = putting a proven program into real-world practice. Key points: * Bridges the gap between **research evidence** and **daily practice** * Fidelity is critical → deliver as designed * Without good implementation, even excellent interventions fail * Deals with real-world barriers: staffing, resources, local culture *** ## 15. Scale-Up (All Content in One Place) Scale-up = expanding a successful program from small pilot → regional → national. **Why it matters:** * Small pilots help almost no one unless expanded * Maximises population health impact * Ensures programmes survive beyond initial funding **Requirements:** * Fidelity + flexibility * Workforce training * Sustainable funding * Monitoring & evaluation * Strong partnerships (HSE, Sport Ireland, communities) **Barriers:** * Cost * Lack of staff * Low political priority * Inequalities in access *** ## 16. RE-AIM Framework (For Implementation & Scale-Up) **Purpose:** Evaluate how well interventions work in real-world settings. **Components:** * **Reach:** Who participates? Who is left out? * **Effectiveness:** What benefits occur? Any harms? * **Adoption:** Which settings/organisations take it up? * **Implementation:** Was it delivered with fidelity? At what cost? * **Maintenance:** Does it last over time? Individual + organisational. **Why it matters:**&#x52;E-AIM helps ensure PA programmes don’t just work in theory – they work for real people, in real settings, and keep working long-term. ​ ## <u>Potential questions:</u> **✅ FORMATIVE EVALUATION / NEEDS ASSESSMENT** **1. What is a formative evaluation?**&#x49;t’s early-stage evaluation used to shape and improve a programme before it’s fully launched. **2. What is a needs assessment?**&#x49;t identifies the problem, who is affected, and what risks the programme must target. **3. Why is a needs assessment important?**&#x49;t ensures the programme addresses a real need instead of guessing. **4. How does a needs assessment guide planning?**&#x49;t tells you which behaviours, risk factors, and populations to focus on. **5. What data is used in needs assessments?**&#x53;urveys, interviews, epidemiological data, and health records. **6. How does it differ from summative evaluation?**&#x46;ormative = planning; summative = measuring results at the end. **7. What happens if you skip a needs assessment?**&#x59;ou risk designing a useless or ineffective programme. **8. How do you identify modifiable risks?**&#x42;y analysing data on behaviours and health patterns. **9. Why understand the target group?**&#x49;t makes the programme relevant and doable. **10. What tools help in needs assessment?**&#x53;urveys, focus groups, literature reviews, clinical data. **✅ SYSTEMS / PARTNERSHIP APPROACH** **11.

List the 10 Components of Fitness and demonstrate a basic understanding of all 10 Muscular endurance Cardiovascular endurance Strength Speed Power Balance Agility Reaction Time Flexibility Coordination Identify the 3 fuel sources of energy production Carbohydrates Proteins Fats Explain how long ATP lasts for in the muscles before it needs to be resynthesised. ATP lasts for 2-3 seconds preexisting without PC in the muscles with short bursts of intensity before it needs to resynthesise. Explain how ATP is resynthesised ATP is resynthesised by adding a phosphate group back onto ADP (adenosine diphosphate his requires energy. The body gets this energy from the breakdown of fuels such as: Phosphocreatine (PC) Glucose (anaerobically or aerobically) Fats (aerobically) Identify the name of the 3 energy systems ATP-PC System (also called the Phosphocreatine or Alactic system) Anaerobic Glycolytic System (also called the Lactic Acid system) Aerobic System (Oxygen system) Explain how long PC will supply energy for high intensity work before stores are depleted Phosphocreatine (PC) can supply energy for about 8–10 seconds of high-intensity work before its stores are depleted. During very explosive activities (like sprinting or jumping), PC breaks down rapidly to resynthesise ATP, but because the stores in the muscles are small, they run out quickly — usually within 8 to 12 seconds, with 10 seconds being the commonly accepted average. Explain how long it takes to fully replenish the ATP-PC system once it is depleted It takes about 2–3 minutes to fully replenish the ATP-PC system once it is depleted. Here’s the breakdown: Around 50% of phosphocreatine (PC) is restored within 30 seconds. About 75% is restored in 60 seconds. Full resynthesis usually requires 2–3 minutes, depending on fitness level and oxygen availability. So, complete recovery of the ATP-PC system takes roughly 3 minutes. Identify the fuel source used when the lactic acid system is contributing to energy production The fuel source used by the lactic acid system is glucose (or glycogen, which is the stored form of glucose in the muscles and liver). So the answer is: Glucose/Glycogen. Identify the by-product of the lactic acid system Lactic Acid is created as a by-product of the lactic acid system which comes to affect 30-60 seconds of anaerobic excelsis or short intensity excersies. Explain how this by-product can affect performance It causes a burning feeling in the muscles. It makes the muscles tire more quickly. It becomes harder to maintain power, speed, or intensity. So, the build-up of lactic acid leads to fatigue, which reduces performance during hard efforts like sprinting or fast-paced exercise. Recall how long the lactic acid system can be used (depending on intensity& duration) 30-60 seconds high intensity workouts, 1-2 minutes moderate intensity workouts Explain how to remove lactic acid from the muscles The best way to remove lactic acid is active recovery, supported by oxygen intake, hydration, and light movement to keep blood flowing. Identify the order in which the body breaks down the 3 fuels for aerobic energy contribution carbohydrates (glucose/glycogen) – used first because they are the quickest to break down for ATP. Fats (triglycerides) – used once carbohydrate stores start to decline, especially during longer, moderate-intensity exercise. Proteins (amino acids) – used last and only in small amounts, usually during prolonged exercise or when carbohydrate and fat stores are low. Explain how long the body can utilise the aerobic system (depending on fuel source availability) The aerobic system can provide energy from minutes to several hours, with carbs fuelling shorter durations at higher intensity and fats supporting longer, lower-intensity activity. Explain the following training principles F, D, I, PO, S, V Frequency, intensity, Progressive overload, Specificity, variation Summary: Frequency: How often Intensity: How hard Progressive Overload: Gradual increase Specificity: Targeted to goals Variation: Change to prevent plateau and maintain interest Identify which two principles relate directly to specificity Specificity – by definition, it means training should match the sport, muscle groups, energy systems, or fitness goals. Variation – adjusting exercises, intensity, or type can help maintain relevance to the specific goal and prevent plateau, supporting specificity over time. So, Specificity and Variation work together to ensure training is targeted and effective. Explain the importance of progressive overload in a training program Progressive overload ensures consistent improvement, helps achieve goals, and keeps training safe and effective. Recall the 5 training methods (FCIRC) Circuit, Fartlek, Interval, Resistance, Continuous. Explain the benefits of each method circuit Training Description: Series of different exercises performed in rotation. Benefits: Improves overall fitness (strength, endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness). Can target multiple muscle groups. Can be adapted for all fitness levels. Keeps training varied and engaging. 2. Fartlek Training Description: “Speed play” — alternates between fast and slow running, usually outdoors. Benefits: Improves aerobic and anaerobic fitness simultaneously. Develops speed, endurance, and recovery. Flexible and less structured, reducing boredom. 3. Interval Training Description: Periods of high-intensity work followed by rest or low-intensity recovery. Benefits: Improves speed, power, and cardiovascular fitness. Increases anaerobic and aerobic capacity. Efficient for burning calories in a short time. 4. Resistance Training Description: Uses weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight to strengthen muscles. Benefits: Increases muscular strength and endurance. Improves bone density and joint stability. Boosts metabolism and helps with body composition. 5. Continuous Training Description: Steady-state exercise performed at a moderate intensity for a prolonged period (e.g., jogging, swimming). Benefits: Improves aerobic fitness and cardiovascular endurance. Strengthens the heart and lungs. Easy to monitor intensity and safe for beginners.
