The etymological origin of the word death, we find it in the Latin "decessus", action and effect of the verb "decedere" which means "to retire". Death is, then, literally the act and the consequence of moving away, which is specifically applied in our days to the physical distance that is caused in a definitive way, after the death of someone.
They are synonymous with decease, death, death, death, expiration, death, among others.
The death of animals and people can be a natural event, since life is not eternal, and it can end as a consequence of some disease or due to the normal wear and tear of the organism; or it can be accidental, when it occurs by fatality, due to causes beyond the intentional human action, such as someone who falls from a great height or is the victim of an earthquake; or by the willful work of man, whether produced by his own decision (suicide) or by the work of third parties (murder). In the latter case, the person responsible will be subject to a severe sentence, if his responsibility for the crime is proven, by the criminal courts that will be in charge of judging him.
Death is the moment in which earthly life ends, being a mystery what happens afterwards, explained by different religious aspects in different ways; and accepted by atheists as the beginning of nothing. Just as humans celebrate birth, death is a moment of anguish because the loved one will no longer share everyday moments with us. That is why after the death of a loved one, a period of mourning is experienced, paying the funeral honors, according to the creed of each one. However, other cultures such as Buddhism and Hinduism accept death more naturally, as part of a cycle that will begin again, in a new existence.
Medically, death is verified because the brain lacks bioelectric activity, which is verified by an electroencephalogram, although this is not one hundred percent definitive. That is why other more modern techniques are applied to confirm the death, such as transcranial ultrasound . Homeostasis is impossible to achieve.
Legally, after the death of a human being , the succession of his assets is opened, which will pass into the hands of his heirs, testamentary or legitimate. If you have taken out insurance while you are still alive, and paid the premium, the insurance company must pay the promised amount to those designated as beneficiaries.
concept of decimals
From the Latin "decimus", translated as tenth, from "decem", and, in turn, from "dec" in the sense of ten, is where the word decimal comes from, a term that is applied to the tenth part of some quantity.
Use of the word decimal in Mathematics
The word decimal can refer to the numerical system, also called Indo-Arabic, since it was born in India and entered Europe thanks to the Arab invasion, which modified it. Their quantities are expressed based on the number 10.
It is supposed, according to anthropological studies, that man always tended to count using the ten fingers of his hands, and that would have been the origin of this system, which was initially created by the Hindus, being the Arabs the ones who were in charge of introducing it to the world. continentEuropean. In the decimal system, one represents the unit itself, two, one unit and another; three, two units and one more, and so on, adding one unit to the previous one. When ten units come together, a ten is formed, ten tens form a hundred, and so on. When you express any number, for example, 48, you are saying 40 tens, and 8 units. However, not all the towns used the decimal system, for example in Babylonia, the sexagesimal was used, where the number 60 is used as the base; and it was also used by the Arabs in the period of the Umayyad Caliphate. The sexagesimal system is used to measure times and angles.

Decimal numbers are called, those that result from dividing those fractions where the numerator is less than the denominator, or that being greater, does not result in an integer. A fraction of these characteristics can be converted into a decimal number simply by dividing the numerator by the denominator, the numbers after the comma being called decimals. So ¾ gives us the following decimal number: 0.25. When reading this number, the integer part is said first (in this case, zero) and then the decimal part twenty-five hundredths. It is a number less than unity. If we consider the fraction 5/4, it gives us a decimal number greater than unity: 1.25.
If the decimal point is moved from right to left, it becomes ten times smaller, for each place it is moved.
Decimal fractional units are called those fractions that have the number 1 as numerator and as denominator, the unit followed by zeros. Decimal fractional numbers are those that have as denominator, the unit followed by zeros and any number as numerator.
decision concept
The decision is the result of the action of deciding, deriving this verb etymologically from the Latin "decidere", indicating "from", a separation; and "caedere", to cut or separate. What it indicates is that after evaluating different options, a cut is made in the evaluation of the possible proposals, and one of them is chosen.
Therefore, the decision is a process of choosing between several possibilities of action, be it purchase, work, partner, paternity , vocation, etc. Every day of our lives is spent making decisions, whether they are of an inconsequential type, such as choosing what to eat or drink, or the place to relax ; or crucial and determinants of the future of each one, such as choosing a profession , deciding to marry or have a child, etc.
In addition to the individual decisions for which each one is responsible in its consequences, if they have been made freely, other people have the power to make decisions that affect not only their own lives, but those of others, for example, parents for their minor children.

At a general level, this is what happens with those who hold government positions in different institutions, especially in the State. Indeed, if a country decides to wage war on another, that decision will seriously affect the lives of its citizens, without them having any part in taking this position regarding the conflict. Other measures that the rulers of a State can take, internally, can be to increase taxes, create new sources of work, allocate more or less budget to certain areas such as health or education , etc., affecting the population positively or negatively , depending on the case.
Decisions are often made under the influence of other people whom we consider to be referents, and to whom we transfer the responsibility for their consequences, for example, if a person decides to undergo surgery on medical advice, and it is later shown that it was harmful, the professional is compromised by that bad advice given.
