Linguistic History of English: PIE Roots, Periods, and Major Influences
The History of the English Language
Linguistic Background: Proto-Indo-European (PIE)
All the languages discussed are genetically related since they are all descendants of one parent language, Proto-Indo-European (PIE). Major branches include:
- Germanic
- Italic
- Celtic
The lineage leading to English is: Germanic → West Germanic → Anglo-Frisian Group → English.
The reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language was a synthetic language with a rich inflectional morphology.
The majority of roots of Proto-Indo-

Properties of Water
- Polarity: Water molecules are polar, meaning they have a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom.
- Hydrogen Bonding: The polarity of water molecules allows them to form strong hydrogen bonds with each other.
- Cohesion and Adhesion: Water molecules are attracted to each other (cohesion) and to other polar surfaces (adhesion).
- High Heat Capacity: Water can absorb a large amount of heat energy without a significant change in temperature.

PM vs. The Plate Spinner
Project Managers get work done through the efforts and coordinated contributions of many other people. Unlike inanimate plates, people have:
- Feelings and emotions
- Other commitments and priorities
- Politics and varied personalities
- Varied communication modes and skills
- History and biases
- Forgetfulness
- Minds they might change
- Hidden agendas
- A need to feel respected
- Lives outside

Kant’s Philosophy: Reason, Morality, and the Categorical Imperative
Kantian Philosophy: Theoretical and Practical Reason
Kantian philosophy is fundamentally divided into two consistent parts. The first, examined in the Critique of Pure Reason, investigates the conditions necessary for human knowledge. The second, discussed in the Critique of Practical Reason, analyzes how morality functions for humans and establishes a formal ethics based on the practical use of reason.
The Critique of Pure Reason: Limits of Knowledge
Kant’s analysis of theoretical reason starts

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
A comprehensive geriatric assessment consists of a clinical evaluation, functional rating, and mental, emotional, and social assessments.
Basic Principles of Geriatric Care
Due to the complexity of their problems, many elderly individuals require a broad, multidisciplinary diagnostic approach. Key principles include:
- There is a high prevalence of unrecognized, reversible diseases, disorders, and dependencies.
- Many elderly patients can respond dramatically to treatment.
Algorithm Analysis and Core Data Structures Explained
Fundamentals of Algorithms and Performance Analysis
An algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a problem efficiently. It acts as a blueprint for programming logic. Performance analysis of an algorithm focuses on determining its efficiency in terms of time and space. Time complexity measures how execution time grows with input size, while space complexity checks how much memory is required. These are often analyzed using asymptotic notations like
