Another important task is to assist in developing work-related skills. This involves areas like managing money, following simple instructions (e.g., operating equipment)... Continue reading "Social Integration Work: Fostering Autonomy and Independence" »

Understanding Electric Current and Circuits

Electric current is the passage of electrical charge through a conductor. This occurs when there is an imbalance of charge between two points of the conductor.

An electric circuit is a set of elements connected together through which electric current flows. For current to flow, the circuit must be closed.

Components of an Electric Circuit

• Generator: Builds and maintains the voltage needed to produce the current.
• Conductors: Pathways through which the electric current flows, usually made of copper or aluminum.
• Receivers: Elements that transform electrical energy into other forms of energy.
• Switching and Control Elements: Direct the flow of electrical current.
• Protection Elements: Protect individuals and the

Level Instruments Based on Electrical Characteristics

Conductive or Resistive Meter

This instrument consists of a probe with two electrodes. When the tip of the electrodes contacts a conductive liquid, it closes an electrical circuit. An amplifier unit then switches a meter contact.

Applications: These serve as level switches for conductive liquids in containers, provided the liquids are not excessively viscous or corrosive.

Ultrasonic Level Meter

This meter uses tunable, high-frequency sound waves that propagate through the gas phase until they collide with the liquid or solid surface.

Usage:

• As an alarm level indicator: The frequency is damped when the liquid wets the sensors.
• As a continuous level indicator: The emitted signal reflects off the liquid/

Defining a Company

A company is a set of persons and resources dedicated to obtaining goods or services with the aim of achieving a greater benefit.

Types of Companies

• According to Legal Form: Trader or sole proprietor, or trading company.
• According to Sector: Primary, secondary, or tertiary.
• According to Ownership: Public, private, or mixed.
• According to Size: Small, large, or medium.

Leadership and Decision-Making

Leadership involves making decisions to achieve specific goals. It can be:

• Centralized: Decisions are made at the highest level.
• Decentralized: Decisions are delegated at various levels.

Organizational Levels of Responsibility

• Steering: Decisions are made for general matters that affect the entire organization.
• Executive: Decisions are technical,

Types of Bone Fractures

According to Their Pattern of Interruption

Incomplete Fracture: The fracture line does not cover the entire thickness of the bone.

• Fissures: Affects part of the thickness of the bone.
• Greenstick Fractures: Bending fractures in flexible bones (children).
• Bamboo Fractures: Children's fractures generated by compression, produced by a wrinkling of the bone cortex.

Complete Fracture: Affecting the entire thickness of the bone. It can be divided into:

• Simple Fractures: They have a single line and there is no displacement.
• Complete Fractures with Displacement: One fragment deflects relative to the other. If the normal alignment of the longitudinal axis of the bone is lost, it is said to be angled (may be in varus or valgus).

Stock Valuation

Purchase price and manufacturing cost: Purchase Price: This is the cost that includes the supplier's price and all additional costs incurred until the merchandise is in the buyer's stock. These expenses are:

• Transportation: the cost of transporting goods to the warehouse. This expenditure is called postage or freight. Also, include the costs of loading and unloading if these are borne by the carrier.
• Insurance: The goods to be transported can be insured to prevent possible incidents: breakage, shortages, accidents, etc. According to the market value, the insurance premium will be higher or lower.
• Packaging: the cost of the goods' packaging.
• Customs duties: when the goods come from a non-EU country, you may have to pay tariffs (taxes)

Euribor

Euribor, an acronym for European Interbank Offered Rate, or European interbank offered rate, is the interest rate applied to transactions between banks in Europe.
