Major Western Literary Movements: A Historical Timeline
The Middle Ages (476 CE – 15th Century)
Historical Context
The Middle Ages began after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 CE) and lasted until the beginning of the Renaissance (around the 15th century). It was a time of feudalism, religious dominance, and a rigid social hierarchy in Europe. The Catholic Church was the main authority, not only in religion but also in education, morality, and knowledge. Most people were illiterate, and monks were the primary keepers of learning, copying manuscripts

Heuristic Search Algorithms Explained
A* Search Algorithm (A-Star)
A* (A-Star) is an informed search algorithm that finds the shortest path from a start node to a goal node using heuristics. It combines the advantages of Uniform Cost Search and Greedy Best-First Search.
A* Formula
f(n) = g(n) + h(n)
- g(n): Cost from the start node to the current node.
- h(n): Estimated cost from the current node to the goal (heuristic).
- f(n): Total estimated cost of the path through the current node.
Example of A* Search

Biochemical Classification of Lipids
Lipids serve as crucial energy reserves and structural components in living organisms. They are broadly classified based on their structure and ability to undergo saponification.
Saponifiable Lipids (Containing Fatty Acids)
Fats and Fatty Acids (Acylglycerols)
Fats (oil, lard, tallow) are energy reserves in animals, formed by glycerol and fatty acids. If the three fatty acids are identical, they are called simple fats; if they differ, they are mixed fats.
- Solid Fats

Network Protocols and Data Transmission Fundamentals
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Fundamentals
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connectionless transport layer protocol used in computer networks for sending datagrams over the Internet Protocol (IP) network.
- Connectionless Nature: Unlike TCP, UDP does not establish a connection (no handshake or acknowledgment process) before transmitting data.
- Efficiency: Data transmission begins immediately, making it faster and more efficient with minimal overhead.
- Ideal Use Case: Perfect for real-time applications
The Science of Bilingualism and CLIL Pedagogy
Module 1: Foundations of Bilingualism
In 1950, some educators believed that learning a second language (L2) during childhood would negatively impact the development of the first language (L1), potentially confusing the child. However, research later challenged this view.
Cummins’ Key Hypotheses
In 1980, Jim Cummins proposed two foundational hypotheses:
- Developmental Interdependence Hypothesis: This supports the idea that if children possess a strong level of organization and conceptual knowledge in
