URBAN ZONE

 The definition of an urban area varies according to the country in which it is described. In general, it is considered that an urban area is characterized by being permanently inhabited by more than 2,000 inhabitants. The updating of urban development models has caused population density, geographical extension and the planning and creation of infrastructures to combine to be key factors in the delimitation of this class of areas.

Although it is not correct to generalize, it can be said that urban areas tend to have a higher surface price and a lower presence of employment in the primary sector than rural areas. On the other hand, urban areas offer a greater range of resources for people's survival .

In this sense, it should also be emphasized that more and more the different authorities of these cities are working at full capacity to ensure that their inhabitants not only have a greater number of resources to survive but also that they have the necessary mechanisms to enjoy a greater quality of life.

This higher quality of life is being tried to achieve, for example, through what is technology. How? Developing endless projects and initiatives with which it is possible to make it easier for citizens to carry out various daily tasks and also to enjoy a much healthier environment.

Clear examples of this are what are called smart cities. These are cities that are incorporating a series of technological systems that achieve the two types of objectives mentioned. Thus, for example, they are being implemented from devices that inform them of where there are free parking spaces to electric cars that considerably reduce the emissions of gases that bring pollution.

And all this without forgetting the use of renewable energies that is being imposed in these cities in which sunlight, wind or even the movements of the inhabitants are used to generate the energy that is needed without having to do use of existing resources and that bring with them a greater degradation of our natural environment.

Urban areas such as cities tend to stand out for the development of their secondary ( industrial ) and tertiary ( services ) sector. While the products and services of the city influence the behavior of the countryside, it supplies agricultural and livestock goods to urban regions.

In general, the urban space exceeds the city limits itself, since large peripheral metropolitan areas tend to develop nucleated around it.

It should be noted that, according to experts, the urbanization rate constitutes the demographic index that allows calculating and knowing the percentage relationship that exists between the urban population (that is, those who live in cities) and the total population of a nation. The higher that number, the higher the level of development is assumed .

In order to determine the meaning of the term vainglory, the first thing we are going to do is know its etymological origin. In this sense, we can state that it is a word that derives from Latin. Specifically, it is the result of the sum of two components of that language: -The adjective “vanus”, which can be translated as “empty”. -The noun "glory", which is equivalent to "fame", "honor" or "splendor". Boasting is the petulance or presumption of an individual regarding his actions or self- worth . The verb boast alludes to this act of boasting. For example: "I am fed up with the pride of this artist: he may have a lot of talent, but he lacks humility" , "I don't understand your pride: you have just made a big mistake and yet you are proud of your actions" , " You should not act out of pride, but out of solidarity ” . The term boastful, therefore, is also a conjugation of the verb boast: "The o

ABBOT

Abad is a concept that, according to what is detailed by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), comes from abbas , a Latin word. The term refers to the religious who occupies the superior position in a type of monastery known as an abbey . The abbot, therefore, is the spiritual father, leader and person in charge of an abbey . In its origins, the notion was not linked to a hierarchy or a formal position, but was an honorary title . The honor arose in Syrian monasteries and then began to be implemented in Europe. Regarding the way in which the abbots lived before the formal organization, it is known that they were hermits, who, through their acts and customs, pursued a state in which their spirit was liberated from the material world.

Far from being a selfish attitude or a symbol of lack of concern for the rest o

It is something that is characterized by being unstable , fickle and changeable . In other words, a variable is a symbol that identifies an unspecified element within a certain group. This set is usually defined as the universal set of the variable ( universe of the variable , on other occasions), and each piece included in it constitutes a value of the variable.

Therefore, x can be equal to any of the values ​​just mentioned, with which it is possible to replace x with any odd number that is less than 8 . As you can see, variables are elements present in formulas, propositions and algorithms, which can be substituted or can acquire, without ceasing to belong to the same universe, different values. It is worth mentioning that the values ​​of a variable can be framed wit
