Techniques and Technologies

Techniques are the knowledge, skills, and tools used internationally to achieve a goal, such as creating management systems or knowledge that can generate inventions to facilitate a particular job.

Technologies are applications of scientific knowledge to the production of useful objects.

Brief History of Techniques

It was only in the late eighteenth century, with the Industrial Revolution, that human productive capacity became sufficient to make extensive and deep changes. The industrial age is responsible for the emergence of technical means, made up of industrial concentration, farmland, cities, and infrastructure established over the last two centuries.

World-Economy

The initial cycles of the industrial era opened the... Continue reading "Techniques and Technologies: A World-Economy Perspective" »

Understanding Intelligence

Intelligence, as described in cognitive perceptual learning, suggests that our behavior is increasingly sophisticated. It explains a part of everything. This perspective posits that it's not always necessary to present stimuli for intelligence to develop. Intelligence involves manipulating symbols abstractly. This is evident in science, technology, art, philosophy, and poetry.

Prominent definitions of intelligence include the work of Alfred Binet, which explains a person's IQ. IQ, calculated by dividing mental age by chronological age and multiplying by 100, doesn't fully represent intelligence. Wilhelm Stern and David Wechsler offered similar definitions, emphasizing intelligence as the operational capability to address...

Methodology in Physical Education

Methodology refers to the way in which we will implement instruction to achieve specific goals. The methods must be adapted to the age, interests, and abilities of students.

Synthetic or Global Method

We teach the exercises in full. This method is suitable for very easy exercises that involve the entire movement, typically for children aged 6-7 years.

Advantages:

• The whole body is involved, making it easily understood.
• The child acts more freely.
• In sports, it allows for a comprehensive understanding of the movements.
• The child is less bored.

Disadvantages:

• Techniques are not readily available.
• Correcting defects can be difficult later on.

Analytical or By-Parts Method

The exercise is performed in parts. This method is... Continue reading "Effective Teaching Methods in Physical Education" »

Report N° 2: Physics Laboratory II

Electric Field and Potential

Concepción, April 13, 2009

Members:

• Carla Cáceres
• Jorge Gonzalez
• Fabián Soto

Teacher:

• Alberto Inostroza

Assistant:

• Raul Augurto

Objectives

• Determine how to map electric potential in a plane and draw equipotential lines.
• Derive the form of the electric field charge distribution in the plane from the equipotential lines diagram.

Materials

• Graph paper
• Glass cuvette
• Cables
• Voltmeter
• Multimeter
• Water
• Support

Setup

After verifying the materials were in good condition, the work platform was assembled. The glass cuvette was filled with approximately 3-4 mm of water. A sheet of graph paper was placed beneath the cuvette, aligned so that the gridlines were straight. Using the support, the positive and negative...

Time Study in Work Measurement

The study of time as one of the major work measurement techniques was formalized by Taylor.

Technical Insolvency

A firm is in a state of technical insolvency when the economic profit generated by its assets is not sufficient to meet the interest on its debts.

Quota Sampling

Quota sampling falls under the category of non-probability sampling.

Commercial Experimentation Technique

Analysis of Variance

The technique used in most commercial experimentation is Analysis of Variance.

Strategic Behavior and Social Groups

The set of shared values of a social group determines your preference for a particular type of strategic behavior.

Investment Risk

If a certain level of risk exists between two alternative investments, preference... Continue reading "Time Study, Sampling, and Business Management Concepts" »

Literary Devices and Their Functions

Literary devices are the linguistic means by which an author uses a series of resources to guide the reader in how things are said.

Syllabic Rhythm and Rhyme

Syllabic rhythm is produced by the periodic repetition of the same number of syllables in a series of verses. The sinalefa (when a word ends in a vowel and the next word begins with a vowel, they are counted as one syllable) is a key element. Whether the last word is acute, flat, or proparoxytone affects the syllable count. Rhyming verse involves the periodic repetition of sounds from the last vowel of a verse. If all sounds (vowels and consonants) are repeated, it's a full rhyme; if only vowels are repeated, it's an assonance.

The Pervasiveness of Interviews in Modern Society

Interviews have become deeply ingrained in our society, shaping how we gather information, conduct research, and interact with the world around us. From political polling to market research, educational assessments to healthcare consultations, interviews play a crucial role in understanding individuals' perspectives, experiences, and knowledge. Even the media utilizes interviews extensively, contributing to their widespread presence in popular culture.

The Qualitative Interview in Social Research

Within social research, the qualitative interview holds a prominent position, employed by both positivist (quantitative) and interpretive (qualitative) researchers. While their specific objectives may... Continue reading "Qualitative Interviews: A Deep Dive" »

Luis de Góngora

Unlike other authors such as Lope de Vega and Quevedo, Luis de Góngora's writing is almost exclusively poetic. He cultivated poetry both in its traditional forms and in the popular underground cult. In both cases, the tone of his poetry can range from the most serious, beautiful, and noble to the cartoonish, humorous, festive, and burlesque.

Letrillas and Romances

Góngora is an accomplished poet in both types of compositions.

• His letrillas and ballads (Da bienes Fortuna; Lloraba la niña; Hermana Marica, among others) cover a great variety of themes. They maintain the vitality, beauty, grace, and charm typical of this type of verse, but Góngora does not renounce the elaborate language, expressiveness, and artifice of his cultivated

Functions and Objectives of Primary Health Care

Health Promotion

Health promotion is a crucial function, aiming to maintain population health levels. It emphasizes healthy habits as a major element of human well-being. Health education, both individual and collective, is a primary tool for health promotion.

Disease Prevention

Prevention and promotion are complementary. Prevention activities are selectively directed to avoid specific diseases, such as through vaccinations.

Treatment of Health Problems

This function has been traditionally developed by health systems. The modern perspective allows primary health care (PHC) to integrate assistance with preventive and health promotion activities.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation should be understood broadly,... Continue reading "Primary Health Care: Functions, EU Rights & Spanish System" »

Station Road: Road transport stations are concentrated centers for departures and arrivals of public transport vehicles which meet the regulatory conditions and requirements. Stations can be for passengers and/or goods.

Passenger Stations (Minimum Conditions)

• Access to entrances and exits for vehicles.
• Access for incoming and outgoing travelers, independent of the vehicles.
• A sufficient number of covered docks for simultaneous parking.
