Cerebral Palsy (CP): An Overview

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood disability, a disorder that permanently affects psychomotor function. Cerebral palsy describes a group of psychomotor development disorders, causing a limitation of patient activity, attributed to problems in brain development of the fetus or child. Psychomotor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by sensory or cognitive problems, communication and perception difficulties, and, on some occasions, developmental disorders. Brain injuries that cause CP occur from the fetal period up to age 3 years (brain maturity).

Causes of Cerebral Palsy

  • The causes of cerebral palsy vary from case to case and should not be attributed to a single factor. All cases develop

Common PC Power Problems

Some of the most common power problems and their descriptions:

  • High Voltage Fluctuations: Unexpected spikes in voltage.
  • Power Outages: A total loss of electrical power.
  • Overvoltage: An increase in voltage beyond the normal level. This can occur when a high-energy device is suddenly switched off.
  • Voltage Drop: The opposite of overvoltage; a gradual decrease in voltage, potentially leading to a power outage.

Symptoms of Power Supply Issues

Some symptoms that may indicate a power supply problem include:

  • Unexpected Freezing: The PC freezes for no apparent reason.
  • Data Errors: Write errors or errors accessing files occur.
  • Component Failures: Internal components fail, their intensity varies, or the PC behaves strangely when connecting

Understanding Telephony: Bandwidth, Transmission Lines, and Sound

Classified in Electronics

Written on in English with a size of 2.71 KB

Bandwidth Transmitted by the Voice Channel

Band transmitted by the voice channel. The telephone system does not transmit all frequencies between the audible range of 20Hz and 20kHz, as this would require excessive bandwidth. To determine the bandwidth used, the parameter of intelligibility, the logatoms, is used. 80% intelligibility is sufficient, which corresponds to transmitting frequencies below 2,100Hz or above 1,500Hz.

Transmission Line Conductors

The transmitted signal is alternating and consists of the sum of signals with different frequencies within the band of 300Hz to 3,400Hz. A pure 800Hz tone is used for testing.

Primary Parameters of a Transmission Line

These parameters can be measured directly in a section of a transmission line one... Continue reading "Understanding Telephony: Bandwidth, Transmission Lines, and Sound" »

Il Gesù and Sant'Andrea in Mantua: Differences and Similarities

The churches of Il Gesù in Rome and Sant'Andrea in Mantua share some architectural features, such as the use of double pilasters and arched chapels. However, they also exhibit key differences. In Sant'Andrea, there is no rostrum or pulpit, and the cornice is supported by a barrel vault decorated with moldings. Another difference is the Baroque dome, which is always a barrel vault with arches. Between the arch and the wall, openings illuminate the arches, featuring a window and a small vault or crescent lunette, also curved. This is a quintessential Baroque feature known as a barrel vault with lunettes.

From the base, the use of light is evident, with a rosette or window. The small... Continue reading "Architectural Analysis: Il Gesù and Sant'Andrea in Mantua" »

The Tragic Week of 1909 in Barcelona

Spain's "Tragic Week" in 1909 began after King Alfonso XIII and Antonio Maura, of the Conservative Party, took power following the elections of April 21, 1907. A protest sparked by the mobilization of Catalan reservists for the war in Morocco led to a social uprising in Barcelona.

Political Context

The country was operating under a two-party system: the Conservatives and the Liberal Party. These parties secured government control through elections influenced by *caciquismo* (warlordism). The electoral system was predictable, with the winning party always being the one that had previously been... Continue reading "The Tragic Week of 1909 in Barcelona: Causes & Impact" »
