French President: Election & Role
The President of the Republic is elected for five years in a single constituency comprising the whole nation and may be reelected indefinitely. (Under the Third Republic, the presidential term lasted seven years, but since the introduction of the Fifth Republic, it was reduced to five years, a change approved in 2000, albeit with an abstention rate of 70%). Before 1962, the election was indirect.

This document outlines fundamental procedures for solving common problems in three-dimensional analytic geometry.
1. Plane Perpendicular to Line Through Point
To find the equation of a plane perpendicular to a given line and passing through a given point:
- Take the direction vector of the line. This vector is the normal vector (A, B, C) of the plane.
- Substitute these values into the plane equation form: Ax + By + Cz + D = 0.
- Substitute the coordinates (x, y, z) of the given point into the equation to
Autonomic Nervous System Divisions Compared
Somatic vs. Autonomic Nervous Systems
Somatic Nervous System (SNS)
- Single axonal pathway from CNS.
- Thick myelin fibers.
- Target organs: skeletal muscles.
- Effect of neurotransmitter: excitatory.
- Neurotransmitter at target site: always acetylcholine.
- No ganglia present.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
- Preganglionic and ganglionic neurons.
- Effectors are glands and involuntary muscles.
- At least one ganglion located outside the CNS.
- Thin or unmyelinated fibers.
- Transmitted effect may be excitatory or inhibitory.

Sub-atomic Particles & Atomic Structure
- Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the sub-atomic particles of an atom.
- Scientists developed notations to easily identify the numbers and arrangement of these particles within the atom.
Atomic number (Z): The number of protons in the nucleus.
Mass number (A): The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
A = Z + N (where N is the number of neutrons)
Finding the Number of Neutrons
To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (Z) from the

Oral Communication and Its Techniques
Oral communication uses spoken language to transmit messages. It is used to give instructions, organize tasks, and participate in meetings.
It is very important in companies, as it helps ensure smooth operations and achieve expected objectives.
Techniques and Strategies
Location of Communication
The sender does not always choose the topic and how to communicate it. Consider the company’s objectives, the number of recipients, their knowledge of the subject, and the

Relationship Between Strategy and Organizational Structure
Since the pioneering work of Chandler (1962), interactions between strategy and structure have received much attention, both theoretically and empirically. The following conclusions have been reached:
- “The structure follows strategy.” As a company changes its growth strategy to use resources more profitably, new administrative problems affecting economic performance arise. These inefficiencies will only be solved by changing the organizational
Core Human Resource Management Concepts and Practices
Rapid Environmental Change in HRM
Rapid change is a significant environmental challenge affecting a company’s Human Resource Management (HRM), representing external forces beyond managerial control. Firms today operate in a volatile environment and must constantly adapt to changes, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. HR plays a central role by implementing effective response systems. HR policies can either help or hinder a firm’s ability to cope with external change. Examples include:
- Stress Management:

Probability Questions and Answers
Question 1
Statement: Tossing a coin and getting a head, and then rolling a 6-sided die and getting a 5. Are these events dependent?
Answer: False
Explanation: The events are independent because the outcome of the coin toss does not affect the die roll.
Question 2
Which pairs of events are disjoint?

Trial Period Rules
During the trial period, either party may terminate the employment relationship without alleging cause and without notice, unless otherwise agreed.
Temporary disability, maternity, adoption, or other circumstances affecting the employee during the trial period interrupt its calculation. This interruption always occurs by agreement between both parties.
No trial period can be established when the employee has previously exercised the same functions within the company, under any form
