Cloud Computing Fundamentals and Deployment Models
Defining Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a model of delivering IT resources such as servers, storage, applications, and networking over the internet on demand. It eliminates the need for owning physical infrastructure and follows a “pay-as-you-go” approach, providing scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Deployment Models

Essential Biomechanics Formulas and Human Motion Principles
Core Biomechanics Formulas for Human Motion Analysis
1. Kinematics (Motion Without Forces)
Kinematics describes motion without considering the forces that cause it.
Key Linear Formulas:
- Displacement (Δx):
Δx = x₂ − x₁
Example: If a sprinter moves from 2 m to 8 m → Δx = 6 m
- Velocity (v):
v = Δx / Δt
Example: 6 m in 2 s → v = 6 / 2 = 3 m/s
- Acceleration (a):
a = Δv / Δt
Example: Speed changes from 2 m/s to 6 m/s in 2 s → a = (6−2)/2 = 2 m/s²
Angular Motion Formulas:
- Angular Displacement (θ)
Global Dynamics: Hazards, Development, and Economic Integration
Natural Hazards and Environmental Impact
Natural hazards are natural phenomena of many types (snow, earthquakes, storms, etc.) that occur as a result of living on a very dynamic planet. Natural hazards must be associated with human presence; that is, they must affect people or goods that we value.
The degradation of the environment plays an important role in triggering disasters. Countries experiencing deforestation, erosion, and severe overuse of marginal lands for crops are increasingly subject

Pharmacotherapeutics Principles and Rational Drug Use (RUM)
Fundamentals of Pharmacotherapeutics
The word Pharmacotherapeutics is derived from two Greek words: Pharmakon (meaning ‘the drugs’) and therapeutic (meaning ‘diagnosis or treatment of any disease’). It is the branch of pharmacology that deals with drug absorption, drug distribution, drug elimination, and their actions or effects. Pharmacotherapy is included as drug therapy used to treat diseases, often following surgical, radiation, or physical therapy.

Essential Skills for Effective Communication
Developing strong communication skills involves several key textual competencies:
- Adequacy: Knowing how to choose the appropriate variety (dialect/standard) and register (general/specific, formal/familiar, objective/subjective) for each situation.
- Consistency: Knowing how to select relevant information and structure knowledge effectively.
- Cohesion: Learning to connect the different phrases that form a text (using pronominal forms, punctuation, conjunctions,
