Second Republic and Civil War: Origins and Phases
The Second Republic
Following Primo de Rivera’s resignation, Alfonso XIII attempted a ‘soft dictatorship’ by naming Dámaso Berenguer as Prime Minister, aiming to control society without fully restoring the previous regime.

Computer Architecture: Components and Types
The Architecture of a Computer
Computer architecture encompasses all component parts, their function, and the communication between those parts that allow them to work together in a coordinated manner.
Solution Background: Von Neumann Architecture
In the Von Neumann architecture, the program is stored in memory along with the data. The computer reads data from memory and interprets it as either a program instruction or data. Having a single bus makes the response speed slower, as the system cannot

Transport Layer
The transport layer performs two main functions:
- Expands the delivery system between two processes at the network layer to encompass two processes at the application layer running on end systems.
- Controls the transmission rate of entities to avoid or recover from congestion within the network.
The protocols of this layer oversee the process flow of data between processes. The application layer programs interact with each other without any obligation to attend to the lower layers.

Diabetes Mellitus: Definition
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders sharing the common feature of hyperglycaemia. Hyperglycaemia in diabetes results from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The chronic hyperglycaemia and attendant metabolic dysregulation may be associated with secondary damage in multiple organ systems, especially the kidney, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels.
Classification of Diabetes Mellitus

Byzantine architecture is characterized by a unique blend of Roman and Eastern influences. Some of its defining features include:
- Materials: Structures often used brick masonry, covered with decorative elements like paintings, and mosaics.
- Elements: Prominent use of domes on pendentives; arches with alternating stone and brick voussoirs; columns with capitals or impost blocks, often tapered; and plant or geometric decoration, frequently created using a bevel (two-
Privatization, Finance, and Economic Concepts
Privatization of Public Enterprises
Privatization of public enterprises involves selling state-owned enterprises to the private sector. This practice has become more common in recent years and is used as a rapid method of financing deficits. However, this sale deprives the state of permanent income from state welfare benefits provided by these companies.
Key Economic Concepts
- Bank Deposit: Contracts between economic-financial entities and operators where the latter provides a financial institution

Aggregate Demand and Supply
Aggregate Demand (AD): Definition & Components
AD: The total demand for goods and services in an economy at a given price level. It’s the sum of:
- Consumption (C): Household spending on goods and services. Advanced Note: This is influenced by factors like disposable income, consumer confidence, and interest rates.
- Investment (I): Business spending on capital goods (machinery, equipment, etc.) and changes in inventories. Advanced Note: Investment is sensitive to interest
