Understanding Radio Wave Transmission, Antennas, and Satellite Reception
The Waveform
The waveform for radio transmission is sinusoidal for both electric and magnetic fields. A complete cycle includes a rise to a positive peak, descent to zero, a further descent to a negative peak, and a rise back to zero. A half-cycle is a semiciclo. The period is the duration of one cycle (s). Wavelength is represented as λ. A half-wave is half of this measure. Fundamental frequency indicates how many times a cycle repeats per unit of time (Hz) for non-sinusoidal signals.

What is a Mythical Tale?
A mythical tale is a fantastic story, full of symbols and metaphors of great beauty, handed down through generations or the result of a collective effort. Myths explain the origin of the world and answer questions about the ‘beyond,’ telling a story that exists in another time.
Social Functions and Anthropological Myths
Myths reveal an esoteric truth, often strange, that requires interpretation. Sometimes a social group is responsible for its interpretation and thus becomes

What is a Project?
A project seeks an intelligent solution to approach aimed at solving a problem. A project involves systematically collecting, creating, and analyzing information, often within economic history, to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the advantages and disadvantages of allocating resources to a particular idea. Projects may vary in ideas, investment levels, technologies, and methodologies, but all aim to resolve human activities across various facets, such as education, food,

Accessibility
The ease or difficulty of reaching a place from other locations. It depends on distance, infrastructure, and transport services.
Fee
An official fee for goods crossing a country’s border. In Spain, there are no tariffs on products from other European Union members, but a common tariff applies to goods from third countries.
Metropolitan Area
A large urbanized area comprising a major city and several nearby towns with significant economic and social relations, requiring joint planning and
Read MoreNervous System: Coordination, Impulses, and Synapses
At the synapse, a neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft and diffuses to the postsynaptic membrane. It then binds to specific receptors, which determines a potential change of the membrane (postsynaptic potential). If this potential reaches the threshold of excitation, it is propagated through the entire postsynaptic neuron. Once the neurotransmitter has acted, it is inactivated enzymatically, and the stimulation disappears.
Types of Synapses
Chemical Synapses
The arrival of the electrical

Introduction to Scientific Research in Health
Etymology: The term “research” originates from the Latin in (on) and vestigare (find, inquire, investigate, follow traces), meaning to find or describe something. In science, research is a systematic, controlled, and critical process to discover or interpret facts, phenomena, relationships, or laws.
Research Activity: Develops or contributes to generalizable knowledge, encompassing theories, principles, information, and data collection.
Theoretical Foundations

Contextualizing Kant
Kant’s philosophical work is broadly categorized into three areas:
Critique of Pure Reason
Immanuel Kant first published his seminal work, Critique of Pure Reason, in 1781. Initially, the work did not meet the public or critical acclaim Kant anticipated, sparking considerable debate in philosophical circles. Kant attributed this lukewarm reception to misinterpretations and the complexity of the text. He subsequently wrote Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics That Will Be Able

UNIT 19: Introduction
In classroom workshop activities, we use tools and chemicals that can cause accidents. These accidents (knocks, cuts, burns) are common to all types of work. Today, laws govern all aspects of health and prevention of occupational hazards. We will examine these laws and how to act in case of an accident.
2. Legislation and Standardization
Occupational health and risk prevention legislation involves the Local Administration, Autonomous Regions, and the Central Administration.

1. The Russian Revolution
During World War I, in 1917, the Bolshevik revolution exploded in Russia, overthrowing Tsar Nicholas II and establishing the first communist state in the world.
In the early twentieth century, the Tsarist empire was a vast country with an absolute monarchy.
Politically, the Tsars held autocratic power.
Agriculture was the main economic activity, and land was concentrated in the hands of a few landowners from the privileged aristocracy.
In some areas of the empire, industrialization

Republic II (1931-1936)
In January 1930, dictator Primo de Rivera resigned. Alfonso XIII attempted a return to constitutional normality, but the process was slow. Dissatisfaction grew against Berenguer. Opposition organized through the Pact of San Sebastián, and in December, an insurrectionary act to proclaim the Republic in Jaca failed. The monarchy’s last government, led by Admiral Aznar, called for municipal elections on April 12, 1931. These elections became a referendum on the monarchy. Republican
