Francoist Spain: Ideological Roots and Societal Impact
Introduction
Following the Spanish Civil War, Spain was devastated demographically, socially, and economically. However, the moral consequences were the most significant. The wounds caused by the repression on both sides, and carried out by the Franco regime after the war (imprisonment, death, marginalization), meant that the war did not bring peace but victory. The regime was dedicated to erasing all traces of the existing Republican society. From 1939 to 1948, Spain experienced the most repressive

Mineral and Energy Resources of the Geosphere
The resources of the geosphere can be divided into mineral and energy resources. Among the latter, we will study fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy.
Mineral Resources
Mineral resources constitute a vital resource to sustain industrial activity. Given their non-renewable nature, there is a constant search for new sources as those that have been exploited are depleted.
Types of Deposits
- Deposits of foreign origin are found in sedimentary rocks,
Justice and Law: From Ancient Greece to Modern Rights
Justice in Classical Greece
In Classical Greece, the concept of justice was heavily debated. The Sophists argued that justice was merely a convention, an agreement reached by the people of a particular state regarding attitudes to be considered just and unjust.

Henotheism in Hinduism
Hinduism refers to a large number of beliefs and practices, sometimes very different from each other. There are thousands of deities, which we often categorize as an example of polytheism. However, it would be more accurately described as an example of henotheism because although Hindus worship many gods individually, each is considered a window to the One or the Whole. The ultimate reality for Hindus is Brahman, the vital principle of the cosmos whose attributes are the infinity

Physicochemical Organization of Session Contents
The physicochemical organization of the contents implies that a session must maintain an internal logic among its contents.
- The session finds all its meaning within the didactic unit. Changing the first session for the last within the didactic unit would break all the organization and would lead to not achieving the objectives of the didactic unit.
- The session must equally respect an internal structure that gives logic to itself. In the same way, it
Climate Variations: Urban Centers and Seasonal Changes
Winter Climate
Wintertime typically corresponds to a dry, cold season with clear skies. This is due to the influence of anticyclones. The Azores anticyclone, usually positioned to the south, retreats. However, a seasonal anticyclone often forms at the heart of the Plateau, causing very low temperatures, below 0°C, resulting in frost and morning fog. The Iberian Peninsula may also be affected by other anticyclones, such as those from Central Europe or Siberia. The concentrated cold air in the lower
