Core Concepts: Society, Culture, and Knowledge in Philosophy
State and Society Fundamentals
Society: A group of people, peoples, or nations that coexist under common rules.
Definition: Society is a system of usages and procedures of authority and mutual aid, of many groupings and divisions, of controls of human behavior and liberties. This ever-changing complex system, which is called society, is a web of social relationships. —MacIver and Page
- A collective of people who coexist, share a space, and collaborate with each other to survive.
- Common standards, which
Galician Language in Media: History and Current Status
Press
History of the Press in Galicia
- The Galician press was born in the 19th century with newspapers in Spanish that appeared and disappeared with liberal governments.
- The first was the weekly El Censor Compostelano (Santiago, 1800).
- Between 1833-1868, the most representative Galicianist writers of the time collaborated in the press, mainly including literary texts.
- Between 1868-1874, Galician remained a minority language in the press.
- In the last quarter of the 19th century, with the publication of
Humanity’s Symbolic Universe: Language, Signs, and Meaning
The Human Symbolic Universe
Many capacities make human beings unique creatures, but they all share at least the use of a symbolic universe. From the realms of science, morality, art, and more, the human world is not merely a world of physical capabilities. The realities of representation allow us to work in a thousand different ways on reality without having to act directly upon it. The world of representation is not a copy of objective reality but the recreation of a world seen through human eyes;

Modern Hypotheses on Life’s Origin
One of the possible locations where living organisms could have originated are deep-sea hydrothermal vents. According to some scientists, these places release inorganic matter, which, along with water and carbon dioxide, formed the first complex molecules. The energy needed for this process could have come from the oxidation of reducing agents.
According to this hypothesis, two possible mechanisms could have led to the formation of the first cell:
- Self-replication
- Metabolism
Compelling

Electrostatics: The Study of Static Electric Charges
Electrostatics is the study of electric charges at rest. Objects can be electrified through three primary methods:
- Friction
- Contact
- Induction
Electric Charges (Q) and Atomic Structure
- Protons and electrons possess electric charges (positive and negative, respectively).
- Forces of attraction between these particles form atoms.
- Every atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
- Electrons across all atoms are identical,
Optimizing Network Quality of Service for Applications
Application-Level Quality of Service (QoS)
Different applications have varying demands on network performance. Understanding these demands is crucial for implementing effective Quality of Service (QoS) solutions. Common application requirements include:
- Email: Minimum errors
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Minimum errors, maximum capacity
- WWW (World Wide Web): Minimum errors, large capacity, low latency
- VoIP (Voice over IP): Tolerates some errors (up to 20% is often acceptable), minimum latency and jitter,
Optimizing Speaker Performance: Understanding Audio Technology
Acoustic Short Circuit: Low-Frequency Speaker Issues
What phenomenon attenuates the sound level and causes poor performance at low frequencies? Speakers emit a sound wave from each face of their diaphragm. These waves are in phase opposition. Therefore, when the acoustic wavelength being reproduced is large relative to the speaker’s size, an acoustic short circuit occurs due to diffraction around the cone, leading to sound attenuation and poor low-frequency performance.

Ethical Business Constituencies
Limitations of Ownership Rights
The traditional economic view of ownership is that it implies control and decision-making power. In the traditional (usually small) business, the owner and the manager were the same person with the same interest – making as much profit as possible. In the modern business corporation, ownership and management are separated. The dispersed shareholders are the owners. But these owners are, for the most part, naturally limited in how much
