Aristotle’s Philosophy: Ethics, Causality, and Knowledge
Aristotelian Ethics: The Pursuit of Eudaimonia
Aristotle addresses ethics in works such as the Nicomachean Ethics and the Eudemian Ethics. For him, the ultimate goal of humanity is the search for the best life possible—the happy life (eudaimonia).
He poses the question: What is happiness, and how is it achieved?
- Happiness as a Means: If happiness is merely a means, or dependent on external means, we fall into relativism. Aristotle argues that this view would prevent the establishment of a universal
Essential Concepts: DBMS Keys, Constraints, and Relational Model
Understanding Keys in DBMS
A Key in a Database Management System (DBMS) is an attribute or a set of attributes used to uniquely identify each record (tuple) in a table and to maintain relationships between tables.
Types of Database Keys
Super Key
A set of one or more attributes that can uniquely identify a record in a table.
Example: Given
Student(Roll_No, Name, Email), both{Roll_No}and{Roll_No, Name}are Super Keys.Candidate Key
A minimal Super Key, meaning no unnecessary attribute is included.
Example:
C Implementation of Selection Sort and Search Algorithms
Selection Sort Algorithm in C
Selection Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly finds the minimum element from the unsorted part of the array and swaps it with the element at the current position.
C Implementation of Selection Sort Function
#include <stdio.h>
The function void selectionSort(int arr[], int n) performs the sorting:
void selectionSort(int arr[], int n)
{
int i, j, minIndex, temp;
for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
minIndex = i;
// Find the index of the minimum element in the unsorted

Practical SQL Examples for Database Management
Student and Course Database Examples
Database Creation
It’s good practice to create a dedicated database for your tables.
-- Create a new database (optional, good practice)
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS StudentDB;
USE StudentDB;Table Creation
Here, we define the Student and Course tables. Note the use of PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, NOT NULL, UNIQUE, and CHECK constraints.
CREATE TABLE Student (
StudentID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
Name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,

Niche Strategy and Corporate Responsibility: Driving Small Business Success
The Competitive Edge of Small Enterprises
Introduction to Niche Marketing
There is a new generation of competitors that has entered the market and is posing a great threat to larger companies. These companies tend to operate on a specific niche, which makes them appear “closer to the customer.”
These companies concentrate on selling to a smaller market. This can help lower costs because specialization creates savings. These small firms can establish a strong image and position in their niche. Niche

Iterative Algorithms: Definition and Structure
An iterative algorithm repeatedly executes a set of instructions using loops (for, while, do-while) until a certain condition is satisfied. Instead of solving a problem directly in one step, the solution is approached gradually by repeating computations and updating variables.
Iterative algorithms rely on repetition (iteration) and are widely used for problems involving repeated calculations, searching, and optimization. Examples include Linear Search,
