Fiber Optics

To surf the internet, you need more than just a computer, a modem, and software; patience is also key. Cyberspace can be slow. Users may wait minutes for a page to load or hours to download a program.

International Law Principles and Statehood

Item 3. Positivism and Dogmatic Approaches to Law

With the Vienna School, particularly Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law, positivism emerged. This theory views law solely as a set of technical concepts and categories used to interpret legal rules through rational and deductive reasoning.

Kelsen aimed to separate law from extra-legal considerations. He envisioned law as a pyramid of rules, with the validity of each rule stemming from a superior rule. This hierarchical structure culminates in the grundnorm,

Spanish Civil War: From Caballero to Franco

The Caballero Government (September 1936 – May 1937)

In late summer 1936, Republican forces recognized the need for anti-fascist unity and a government capable of consolidating forces to win the war.

Plato vs. Sophists: A Comparison of Philosophical Views

Reality (Ontology)

Sophist Position

There is no objective reality independent of the knowing subject. Being is constantly flowing and changing, reduced to its various appearances or statements to the subjects (phenomenalism).

Optical Instruments and Human Vision

Optical Tools

Lenses and mirrors are used to build optical instruments. Some are well-known and commonly used: cameras, binoculars, or a magnifying glass.

Evidence in Criminal Trials

Defendant’s Statement

Within the trial regulation, confession is not solely expected. Crimes under indictment are considered (Article 688 et seq. of the Spanish Criminal Procedure Law). However, a crucial step from the perspective of proof and the accused’s rights is often overlooked: the right to be heard by the deciding authority.

Regarding its form, the defendant’s statement is governed by the same safeguards and requirements as other phases of the trial. Essentially, it involves obtaining knowledge
