Spanish Literature: Novecentismo to the Generation of ’27
Novecentismo and Avant-Garde
Two significant literary movements emerged as reactions against Modernist art and literature.
Novecentismo (1910s)
Novecentismo characterized a group of Spanish intellectuals and writers emerging around 1910. They prioritized pure art forms and aesthetic enjoyment. Key aspects include:
- Essay: The most cultivated genre. José Ortega y Gasset is a prominent figure, known for his clear style and focus on the “dehumanization of art.”
- Novel: Moved away from sentimentality and
Company Financing: Sources and Types
Sources of financing for a company can be classified into three categories:
- Repayment Period:
- Short-term (1-2 years or less)
- Long-term
- Source of Funds:
- Internal (generated within the company)
- External (e.g., social capital, loans)
- Ownership:
- Own (belonging to the owners)
- Others (borrowed or otherwise not belonging to owners)
Own Resources
Own resources are the most stable because they do not have to be returned. However, they are the most risky because, if the company goes bankrupt, partners only receive a

Mitosis
Stages:
- Prophase: Chromatin fibers thicken and shorten to form chromosomes. The nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear, allowing chromosomes to move freely in the cytoplasm. Mitotic spindles (protein fibers) appear at the cell poles.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes connect to mitotic spindles through centromeres along the cell equator and align, forming the equatorial plate, where sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles.
- Anaphase: Mitotic spindles break at the equatorial plate and contract,
Radioactive Decay: Alpha, Beta, Electron Capture
Alpha Decay
Radioactive nuclides with a very large atomic number (> 82) often decay with the emission of an alpha particle. By increasing the number of protons, Coulomb repulsion forces exceed the nuclear forces. Thus, the unstable nucleus emits a particle composed of two protons and two neutrons. The atomic number (Z = number of protons) decreases by two, and the mass number decreases by four. Q is the energy released in the process, the decay energy. Q is equivalent to the difference in mass

Past Vacations: London
I had never traveled abroad, but this year, my mom gave me a trip for my birthday; we went to London for six days! I had always loved London. I had seen a lot of photos and videos of it, but I never imagined I would travel there! We had never flown before, so when we were on the plane, we were so scared! Finally, after two hours of flying, we arrived in London. Everything there was different: quiet, green, peaceful, and fun! The people who live in London are generous and quite

Doña María: A Complex Character
Doña María is a character of high drama, tracing the complex nature and the various aspects it presents. At first, she may fool the viewer by awakening pity, because she appears as a mother concerned about the upkeep of her home and her three daughters. Then, she reveals the full force of her dictatorship, her tyrannical rule, the despotic authority that she wields over her daughters. Finally, we see that her essential feature is an atrocious selfishness that leads
Workers’ Rights & Labor Movements: 19th-20th Centuries
Workers’ Conditions and the Rise of Labor Movements
Living conditions of workers: Working hours and salaries of employees were subject to market fluctuations and margin requirements. This benefited the working class, but also caused anxiety and insecurity, as workers did not know how much money they would bring home at the end of the week, how long their work would last, or how to find another job if they lost theirs. There was no social security.
Origins of the Labor Movement
The liberal state took

Historical Context of the Enlightenment
The Age of Enlightenment was characterized by an age-old conflict, culminating in the revolutions that would shake Europe to its core. This era marked the end of the Ancien Régime, which had attempted to persist through enlightened despotism. These revolutions had already begun in England, but would become more radical with American Independence in 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789. This period set the stage for the revolutions that brought the bourgeoisie
