Romanticism and Realism
Romanticism is a cultural and political movement that originated in Germany and the United Kingdom in the late eighteenth century as a revolutionary reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and Classicism, emphasizing feeling and emotion.

Social Realism in Essays
Essays soon made it obvious that they advocated the value of social realism. It was believed that the writer, serving a will to transform society, must commit to addressing social injustice. Hence, they assumed a duty of complaint that could not find other adequate means of expression. Regarding the aesthetic orientation within the dominant realism, several attitudes can be noted, with the dominance of objectivism and critical realism.
Objectivism proposes a brief testimony,

Christian Teaching: Beyond the Present
Any preaching of Jesus is marked by the announcement of his coming as Lord at the end of time.
This is known by the glorious name Parousia: the full and final establishment of God’s reign. A reign of peace and justice for all.

4. Metabolism of Carbohydrates: Glycolysis: All carbohydrates obtained from the diet are digested by pancreatic and salivary enzymes, absorbed by the intestine, and metabolized in the blood and liver. Glucose is distributed throughout the body.
Glycolysis: Transformation of pyruvic acid (pyruvate) from glucose. The net reaction is: Glucose + 2NAD+ + 2ADP → 2 Pyruvates + 2NADH + 2ATP. It’s a highly energetic pathway, although it is fundamental (common to all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells). It

Computer Bus Architecture
Bus: In computer architecture, a bus is a transport mechanism that logically connects several peripherals using the same set of wires. This concept is similar to a shuttle, facilitating internal data transfers within a computer system during operation.
A bus is defined as a set of electrical connectors, typically metal tracks printed on the motherboard, through which signals travel. These signals correspond to the binary machine language used by the microprocessor.

Lipids: An Introduction
Lipids: They do not have a characteristic functional group but are substances of biological origin, soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. All lipids share a common carbohydrate-based structure, which explains their insolubility in water.
Biological Functions of Lipids
Biological functions: Lipids serve as the primary energy reserves for living organisms. They are integral components of cell membranes and play a role in regulating cellular and tissue activity.
