Impugning Dismissal in Spain

When facing dismissal, a worker has 20 business days, common to all dismissal types, to attend the Mediation, Arbitration, and Conciliation Service (SMAC) and file a conciliation request. This step is mandatory before initiating litigation in the Social Court. The conciliation must occur within 20 business days from the dismissal date. This act suspends the 20-day limitation period, and the count resumes the day after the attempted conciliation. The conciliation may result in an agreement or no agreement. If no agreement is reached, the worker can file a lawsuit before the Social Court.

Types of Dismissals

• Null Dismissal: Based on discriminatory grounds or violates the worker's fundamental rights and civil liberties.

Mechanical Properties of Metals

Mechanical properties are the properties that express the behavior of metals under forces aimed at altering their shape. A summary of the different types of fundamental forces to which any structure or machine can be subjected are: tension, compression, shear, bending, torsional buckling, or a combination of these.

Resistance

Resistance is the ability of a metal to withstand an external load of the types mentioned above without breaking. As each load type has its corresponding resistance, it is usual to work with a resistance lower than that which would cause breakage in the plastic period of the material, i.e., working within the elastic period.

Hardness

There are two types of hardness: physical, which is the ability... Continue reading "Understanding Mechanical Properties of Metals" »

Substations are the centers or facilities that transform the stresses of transportation or distribution tensions between transmission and distribution voltages simultaneously.

Substations in Our Region

Substations (in our region) are responsible for transforming regular or distribution voltages (25kV / 11kV). Transformer stations can be of various types and transform the voltage to low voltage distribution tension. Renewable energy installations, substations, and transformer stations are subject to compliance with regulations and standards, also typical of power companies, usually very demanding for construction and exploitation.

Substations and Receiving Stations

Substations and receiving stations are an important link between the power production,... Continue reading "Substations and Receiving Stations: Function and Classification" »

Questionnaire 5

1. Preventing Grid Contact

To prevent contact between a person and a grid, ensure there is no galvanic connection between them. Natural elements like land or soil can act as galvanic connections.

2. Default Voltage (UD) and Contact Voltage (UC)

• Default Voltage (UD): The voltage between a source or ground masses and a reference point in case of a fault.
• Contact Voltage (UC): The portion of the default voltage, or voltage from the ground, that could be experienced by a person.

3. UNE 20,460 Direct Contact Protection

The UNE 20,460 standard defines the following protection measures against direct contacts:

• Protection by insulation of active parts.
• Protection by barriers or enclosures.
• Protection by obstacles.
• Protection by distance.
• Additional

**Treasury**

The Treasury refers to the set of institutions responsible for raising the income needed to fund public services. Several institutions manage tax funds, including:

• State Treasury or Inland Revenue: Manages corporate income tax, among others, and public customs tariffs.
• Treasury of Autonomous Communities: Manages, among other things, donations and special taxes on certain transportation and electricity.
• Public Council Treasury: Manages, among others, business tax and taxes on real estate.

Taxpayers

• Individuals: Natural persons.
• Corporate Entities: Groups of natural persons forming associations, foundations, or corporations that have a distinct legal personality from their members.

Other bodies raising public funds include the General Treasury... Continue reading "Understanding the Spanish Tax System: Key Concepts and Processes" »

Product Demand and Inventory Management

Product Daily Demand: Average amount of product you plan to sell.

Safety Stock Day: Minimum amount in storage to avoid running out of goods if demand exceeds expectations. This safety stock depends, among other variables, on the:

• Provisioning Period: Replenishment period, time taken for the establishment to receive the goods from an order.
• Global Sales: Total sales of the establishment across all products.

Four Methods for Calculating Minimum Stock for Each Product Line

Replenishment Period Method: This method is based on the premise that the shelf space assigned to a product depends on the demand for the product and the time it takes to replenish the establishment with that product.

Sales Number Method: This... Continue reading "Retail Product Management and Shelf Optimization" »

Heart: Function

The heart is responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood and nutrients to all body cells for proper functioning. It is also in charge of collecting and transporting waste material for disposal.

Heart: Structure

The heart is a hollow organ the size of a fist, located in the center of the left chest between the lungs. It consists of a heart wall and four cavities.

Heart Wall

The heart wall has three parts:

• The endocardium is the innermost layer and is in contact with blood.
• The myocardium is the middle layer, composed of cardiac muscle tissue, and it is thick.
• The pericardium is the outer layer containing liquid, and it also absorbs the friction of the heart.

Cardiac Cavities

The heart is divided into two halves, which in turn are divided... Continue reading "Heart Anatomy and Physiology: Structure and Function" »
