Canary Islands Integration & Spanish Monarchy 15th Century
Integration of the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands were in dispute between Portugal and Spain until the Treaty of Alcáçovas-Toledo in 1479. Portugal relinquished control of the archipelago yet to settle, and for nearly twenty years, the Spaniards ultimately imposed their rule over the islands. The process of conquest began with the signing of capitulations between the Crown and individuals acting in the name of the monarchy. Subsequently, especially after 1492 with the discovery of America, the

The Atom
The atom is the basic unit of matter. It consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, around which electrons revolve. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. Neutrons and other particles have their own charges.
Electric Charge
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter responsible for electrical phenomena. The continuous displacement of electrons is called electric current.
Conductive and Insulating Materials
Conductive materials allow the

Context
The years of World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945) correspond to one of the most acute periods of cultural creation in Europe, which resulted in Modernist literature and art.

What are Quantity and Price Standards?
A standard is a benchmark or “norm” used to measure performance. In management accounting, two types of standards exist:
- Quantity standards specify how much of an input should be used to make a product or provide a service.
- Price (cost) standards specify how much should be paid for each unit of the input.
Actual quantities and costs are compared to these standards. Deviations from standards deemed significant are brought to the attention of management, a practice

Steel Heat Treatments
Steel heat treatments are operations of heating and cooling, subject to certain temperatures and conditions, to obtain the properties and characteristics best suited to your job or transformation.
Development of Heat Treatments
Heat treatment consists of three phases:
Heating to the Set Temperature
The temperature rise should be even. When a piece is heated, the temperature increases very slowly or will maintain a time at intermediate temperatures before passing through the critical
Understanding the CISG, UNIDROIT Principles, and INCOTERMS in International Trade
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)
The Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not take into account the nationality or the merchant status of the parties. It mainly regulates how the contract is formed and the rights and duties of the buyer and seller. It is recommended to complement it with other instruments such as the UNIDROIT Principles. The CISG is a project created by the United Nations that acts like the “glue” that tries

Digital Platforms
For cities to become smart, businesses must be disrupted, workers are to become flexible, and governments are to become lean and intelligent. If data has become a massive new raw material for capitalism, then platforms are the engines that allow it to process this data.
Advertising Platforms
(e.g., Google, Facebook), which extract information from users, analyze it, and use the outcome of that process to sell advertising.
Cloud Platforms
(e.g., AWS, Salesforce), which own the hardware
