Karl Marx: Anthropology, Alienation, and Capitalism

Anthropology According to Karl Marx

According to Marx, man is a natural, material being, similar to animals, but in open construction. Man is, above all, an active being, and this activity takes place at work. Unlike animals, man can interpret, use, and reconstruct nature. Animals use; men create. We call this act productive work, the practice by which man relates to nature. Work is also the activity that relates man to others, demonstrating that man is a social being. However, the essence of man

14th-Century Italian Painting: Siena and Florence Schools

Trecento: Italian Painting in the 14th Century

During the Gothic period in Italy, fresco painting flourished due to the permanence of walls in churches, unlike the rest of Europe. Painting on wood also developed. Painting increasingly moved towards greater naturalism in the representation of landscapes and figures. Not all artists mixed colors to create light and represent space successfully. The Italians called the fourteenth century the Trecento, and two schools stand out:

  • The Sienese School, continuing

Scala Collections: Lists, Sets, and Maps

Scala Lists

Lists are immutable sequences of elements of the same type.

var myList: List[String] = Nil
var c: List[String] = Nil

Adding Elements to a List

  • c = "E" :: c (At front)
  • c = c :+ "MEOW" (At end)

Removing Elements from a List

list diff List(num)

List Operations

  • List.range(0, 10, 2): Creates a list of numbers from 0 to 10 (exclusive), with a step of 2.
  • var x = List.fill(3)("foo"): Creates a list with three elements, all initialized to “foo”.
  • var x = List.tabulate(5)(n => n * n): Creates a list

Understanding Fluid Mechanics, Materials, and Earth Science

Fluid Mechanics is the branch of continuum mechanics (which in turn is a branch of physics) that studies the motion of fluids (gases and liquids) and the forces that cause them. A fundamental feature that defines a fluid is its inability to resist shear (which causes a lack of defined shape). It also studies the interactions between the fluid and the boundary that limits it.

The Strength of Materials is a discipline of mechanical engineering and structural engineering that studies deformable solids

The European Union: Origins and Evolution

During the 20th century, two World Wars (1914-1918 and 1939-1945) occurred in less than 30 years, with Europe as their main stage. These wars left many European countries financially ruined, with long-lasting consequences for their populations. Many small European countries required American aid (the Marshall Plan) for reconstruction. Some European leaders recognized the necessity of uniting to compete with major superpowers (the U.S., USSR, and later Japan)
