Overbooking and Hotel Manager Obligations
Overbooking is a common problem involving the sale of a higher number of seats or rooms (especially in hotels and planes) than are actually available (overselling).
Consequences of Overselling
If a hotel oversells, the manager is obliged to provide accommodation to the affected guests in another establishment:
- In the same zone.
- Of equal or superior category.
- Under similar conditions to those originally

IoT Access Technology Fundamentals
Communication Range Categories
IoT access technologies are categorized based on the distance they cover:
- Short Range: Covers distances up to a few tens of meters. Examples include Bluetooth and Visible Light Communication (VLC), typically found in smaller IoT installations. These technologies often serve as alternatives to serial cables.
- Medium Range: Extends from tens to hundreds of meters, with a maximum distance generally less than 1 mile. This is a primary category

EU Competition Policy Enforcement: Commission’s Evolving Role and Constraints
The Expanding Role of DG Competition in EU Policy
The European Commission’s Competition Directorate-General (DG Competition) is vital to the running of EU competition policy. Over the years, its powers have grown, and it has become increasingly bold in trying to ensure that the market is as open and competitive as possible. There have been three main aspects to this assertiveness:
- Increased Malpractice Examination: DG Competition has become more active in examining cases of apparent malpractice. Using

Catalan Literature’s Golden Age: The 15th Century Renaissance
The Culmination of Medieval Catalan Literature (15th Century)
The fifteenth century marked the culmination of Medieval Catalan literature, producing some of the most important Catalan works.
Literary Modernization and Context
This era saw significant modernization driven by two factors:
- The introduction of culture into the home.
- The increase in readership thanks to the spread of printing.
Poetry in the 15th Century
In poetry, the traditional model of the troubadour lyric poets declined, leading to the

Understanding Market Failure
Market failure is a negative consequence of market performance that occurs when the market is inefficient in allocating resources. The major flaws leading to market failure include:
Major Flaws Leading to Market Failure
- Economic Cycles: The market fails to maintain stable growth, leading to periodic crises and the existence of economic cycles.
- Public Goods: The market often fails to provide the necessary quantity of public goods that society needs, requiring state intervention.

OE Literature: Collection Differences
While collection differences work, it is difficult to know exactly what happened during this period. Following the Christianization of Britain, Britain received written records in Latin from the Roman Church. The written word was of crucial importance as services depended upon the reading of holy scriptures.

Advanced Macroeconomic Formulas and Policy Concepts
Core Macroeconomic Identities and Inflation
The Quantity Identity of Money
The Quantity Identity of Money is expressed as: M × V = P × Y
- M = Money Supply
- V = Velocity of Money
- P = Price Level
- Y = Real GDP
- P × Y = Nominal GDP
Calculating Inflation and Growth Rates
To calculate inflation, multiply new prices by the total number of old goods.
The growth rate form of the Quantity Identity is: m + v = π + y
- m = Money supply growth rate
- v = Velocity growth rate
- π (pi) = Inflation rate
- y = Real GDP growth rate
