histoire du droit
Ex : aujourd’hui dans certains pays, par exemple lorsque l’islam est religion d’Etat le Coran imprègne le Droit. Ces 3 exemples montrent la convergence entre Droit et religion. De nos jours on souligne les différences entre les deux : on souligne que les 2 n’ont pas la même finalité car le Droit s’occupe de la vie en société alors que la religion vise le salut de l’individu. Dans le texte religieux il y a des prescriptions sociales. Ils n’ont pas la même sanction, la sanction reli...

L'art entre réalité et illusion

the armature. It is often desirable to generate as high a voltage as possible, and rotating armatures are not practical in such applications because of the possibility of sparkingbetween brushes and slip rings and the danger of mechanical failures that might cause short circuits. Alternators are therefore constructed with a stationary armaturewithin which revolves a rotor composed of a number of field magnets. The principle of operation is exactly the same as that of the AC generator described,...

Neandertals.
Neandertals made stone tools by striking flakes from rock “cores.” The cores were carefully selected and prepared so that only a single blow was normally required todetach a flake. A number of relatively standardized flakes were sometimes produced from a single core. These sharp flakes served as “blanks” that were further workedand shaped into the desired tools. Suitable stone was sometimes rare, and often tools were sharpened and resharpened to make new tools, yielding a whole variety ofshapes...

D’autre part, dans le transport maritime, une large partie des coûts est affectée aux échanges dans les ports.
