Almoravid Mosques: Architectural Insights

The Almoravid dynasty left a significant architectural legacy, particularly in their mosques. Let's explore some key features and examples.

Great Mosque of Algiers

The restoration of this mosque revealed exceptional decorative elements. It presents a unique layout with aisles parallel to the qibla wall, mirroring the Great Mosque of Damascus. Pillars support arches, evolving into cruciform pillars for reinforcement. The axial nave is divided into areas covered by various dome models. Interestingly, the mosque still retains the location of a 9th-century minaret.

In the courtyard, sober horseshoe arches and arch panels are visible. Some elements reflect later Merinid remodeling, while others, like the courtyard

Endocrine System

We are formed by a series of glands, whose main characteristic is the production of substances called hormones. These hormones, usually discharged into the blood, perform a variety of functions. They regulate the growth, development, and function of many tissues and coordinate the body's metabolic processes. The most important function is to maintain homeostasis. Some of these glands are:

Hypophysis

A small gland housed at the base of the skull in the center of the sphenoid bone (sella turcica). It produces growth hormone and antidiuretic hormone.

Thyroid

A gland in the neck, at the height of the first tracheal rings. It regulates the growth and maturation of tissues.

Parathyroid

There are four glands located in the back of the thyroid.... Continue reading "Endocrine and Urinary Systems: Functions and Anatomy" »

Anabolism: The Constructive Phase of Metabolism

Anabolism is the constructive phase of metabolism. It is the set of metabolic pathways whose objective is to obtain more or less complex organic molecules, sharply reduced, from simpler and relatively oxidized ones. Therefore, these are chemical reduction processes.

Features of Anabolic Pathways

  • As we have said, they are basically chemical reduction processes.
  • Reactions are strongly endergonic (energy is needed), for which they use the energy released in catabolic reactions as ATP, NADH, and NADPH.
  • The anabolic pathways for the synthesis of molecules are different from the catabolic ones, although they often share reversible reactions close to equilibrium. There is always some different way on each

Following the First World War (1914-1918), the peace treaties signed between nations proved weak and unfair to some countries, leading to widespread discontent and a desire for revenge. The Treaty of Versailles significantly reduced the territories of Germany and Austria, including areas populated by Germans. Great ambition and rivalry arose between countries, especially those that had lost territory in the Great War.

The need to demonstrate military power to achieve a superior military and political position over other countries fueled tensions. Control and domination of certain areas were sought to exploit their natural wealth. Hitler envisioned a terrestrial version of England's maritime power.

Ethnic issues also played a significant role,... Continue reading "World War II: Causes, Key Events, and Global Impact" »
