Human Nature: Dignity, Misery, and Insoluble Riddles
The Human Being: Dignity or Misery?
The man, dignity or misery? In Pico della Mirandola, we find this famous passage: “The Supreme Craftsman made man, creation of an indefinite form, and placed in the center of the world. I talk this way: ‘You have no fixed place or a face of your own, or a particular trade, Oh Adam!

Elements of Investigation: Quantitative vs. Qualitative
1. Environment (MARCO)
- Quantitative: Can be developed in a natural environment or a closed laboratory.
- Qualitative: In contact with the object being studied, in a natural setting.
2. Design Structure
- Quantitative: Requires a fixed design established a priori (in advance).
- Qualitative: Has an emergent design; it is not fixed in advance.
3. Goals and Flexibility
- Quantitative: Techniques are pre-set, aiming for technical flexibility.
- Qualitative: The reality

General Characteristics of Cestodes
Cestodes are organisms with a body flattened dorsoventrally. They are variable in size and have no body cavity or digestive system; their nutrition is effected by osmosis. They are hermaphrodites and reproduce by eggs. They are commonly known by the name of Tapeworms.
Morphology
- Scolex: Features 4 suction cups and 2 botri.
- Rostellum: A fixed or retractable crown of hooks used for attachment.
- Strobile: The generation of proglottids (immature, mature, and gravid), which
Key Concepts in Global Politics and International Relations Theory
The Concept of International Power
International power is characterized by two fundamental aspects:
1. Decentralized Power
International power is decentralized, considering the innumerable groups that enjoy sufficient autonomy to exercise a certain degree of influence. This decentralization makes it much more difficult to adopt universally accepted or rejected patterns of behavior and to translate them into norms or institutions that unify the forms and limits of the exercise of international power.

Digital Modulation and Data Transmission Methods
Modulation is called the transaction by which certain characteristics of a wave called a carrier, be modified in light of another wave called modules, which contains information
The modulation process requires two signals, Modules and carriers, and as a result generates a third signal, called the modulated signal.
The carrier signal parameters that are affected by the information are: MODULATION

Microcontrollers vs. Personal Computers
147: A microcontroller is a programmable integrated circuit on a single chip that incorporates all the basic functions of a computer, including the processing unit, memory, and input/output peripherals. It essentially functions as a computer with limited capabilities on a single chip. It differs from a Personal Computer (PC) in several key ways:
- Microcontrollers are cheaper and have lower power consumption (allowing
