Examples of technical language
- Finance:
The growing gap between the official dollar and the blue dollar has a full impact on the exchange strategy of the Central Bank, which increasingly requires putting more currencies up for sale in order to maintain the current rate of devaluation. In this context, it is worth remembering that gross reserves closed the month at around US $ 200,000. Not bad after six months of stagflation.
- Legislation:
After the head committee did not agree on the matter and the signing of the opinion did not prosper, the ruling party decided to discuss the regulations on tables and, thanks to the fact that it has its own quorum in the lower house, the text was approved in the precinct without any difficulties and it has already been turned to the upper house. There, the ruling party also has its own majority, so the sanction of the regulations will be a procedure.
- Astronomy:
Thanks to the high concentration of mass, black holes generate a gravitational field from which no particle, even light, can escape.
These phenomena can emit a particular type of radiation, coming from its creation disk, as happens with the black hole called Cygnus X-1.
- Music:
Sound is the vibration emanating from an elastic medium in the air. For it to be generated, it requires the presence of a focus (vibrating body) and an elastic body, which transmits the vibrations that propagate producing a sound wave. Sound is a spherical, longitudinal and mechanical wave.
- Medicine:
The inability of the body to produce insulin or its resistance to it, generates symptoms such as tiredness, blurred vision, thirst and hunger. Treatments for dealing with diabetes range from physical activity, diet, and medication to insulin therapy.
