20. ECONOMIC VIEWS OF M. V. LOMONOSOV

Economic views of Lomonosov M.V. (1711-1765) have a number of important points, which were proven by him not only in special scientific works, but throughout his creativity.

There are two main problems that can be identified:

1) Lomonosov pointed to a special path to the economic power of Russia, corresponding to the majesty of the Fatherland. The main force in achieving this task should be a strong state pursuing a consistent economic policy;

2) Lomonosov developed questions concerning the detailed implementation of ways to strengthen the economic potential of the country, while he spoke from the point of view of state influence on the economy.

Prosperity of the state Lomonosov associated with the taming of the autocracy and the expansion of the economic functions of the state.

Lomonosov highlights main economic problems to be developed:

1) on the reproduction and preservation of the Russian people;

2) about the best state economy;

3) about the correction of morals and about the greater enlightenment of the people;

4) on the improvement of agriculture;

5) on the improvement and reproduction of handicrafts and arts;

6) about the best benefits of the merchants;

7) about the extermination of idleness. The sequence of these economic problems indicates that Lomonosov in the first place puts the conditions necessary for the development of production. Among them, he highlights labor as the most important factor of production.

Lomonosov believed that for Russia, which had a large amount of undeveloped land, the boon is population increase, his enlightenment. That's why he suggested:

1) increase in birth rate;

2) preventing the escape of peasants abroad, as well as ways to attract labor from abroad.

The main sources of wealth Lomonosov sees in the multiplication of "internal abundance" in agriculture and the development of industry.

Lomonosov belongs the idea of creating an institution for agricultural issues.

Among the economic issues considered Lomonosov, an important place is given to the development of domestic production, domestic and foreign trade, mining and metallurgy.

great job Lomonosov spent on creation of a system for collecting the necessary information in the country. He began compiling an economic guide called "Economic lexicon of Russian products".

In this reference book Lomonosov приводит the following data:

1) place of manufacture of the goods;

2) its quantity and quality;

3) local consumption;

4) sales to other places and abroad;

5) transport routes.

Lomonosov created civil program for the development of the Russian economy. Although in economic positions Lomonosov certain elements of mercantilism can be traced (this was expressed mainly in the defense of the idea of an active trade balance), but the ideas Lomonosov in many ways and differed from mercantilism.

Differences between Lomonosov's ideas and mercantilism:

1) the wealth of the nation Lomonosov saw primarily in the development of domestic production, and not in trade, as the mercantilists claimed;

2) the role of the state in the economy was not limited to carrying out a protectionist policy.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Robotic Maintenance of a Radio Telescope 02.08.2023

Chinese researchers are preparing to implement innovative robotic systems and platforms to operate the National XNUMXm Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), which is nicknamed the "Chinese Sky Eye" and is considered the world's largest single-disk radio telescope.

The joint efforts of the Guizhou Radio Astronomy Observatory and ten other scientific organizations, including the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Harbin Institute of Technology, are aimed at developing robotic maintenance systems for the telescope.

FAST has an area equivalent to 30 standard football fields, which creates a challenge for its maintenance. The introduction of robotic solutions is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the telescope and increasing the duration of scientific observations.

The main focus is on the development of intelligent robots for testing and maintaining various telescope systems, such as supporting cables and feeders, drives and laser targets on the reflector, as well as monitoring radio interference and meteorological measurements of the feed booth.

Particular importance is attached to the all-weather intelligent robot for measurements in the aft cabin. This device is designed for accurate and reliable measurements in conditions typical of the FAST radio telescope and its surroundings.

The robot, developed by the National Astronomical Observatory, is a unique multifunctional measurement device based on microwave technology designed to operate in the difficult climatic conditions of Guizhou Province.

Another important robot is designed to service laser targets on a reflector. This solution, developed jointly by the National Astronomical Observatory, the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Guizhou Radio Astronomy Observatory, includes an intelligent device for controlling and maintaining laser targets.

These robotic systems will effectively solve complex maintenance and surveillance tasks that previously faced challenges due to weather conditions and complexity of scale.
