9. MEDIEVAL DOCTRINES OF WESTERN EUROPE. SALIC TRUTH

Medieval European thought was strongly influenced by Antiquity.

Feature of medieval teachings participated in their creation catholic church, who became a large feudal lord, owning lands and peasants. The issues of effective land management and income generation have become as important for the church as for any other economic entity. Monks began to take part in the search for answers to economic questions - canons (canonists), church lawyers, one of the most educated people of their time.

Characteristics of the economic thought of the Middle Ages:

1) economic thought was hidden behind theological texts of intricate content;

2) there was a reflection of the struggle between the peasant community and the feudal estate (colonate, latifundia, villa). The feudal estates achieved only the subjugation of the community, and not its elimination. Community meadows, forests, swamps, and pastures have been preserved. Their preservation is one of the demands of the peasant uprisings. This is the basis of the conflict between communal property and private property;

3) the presence of large-scale production due to the concentration of peasants;

4) there was an expansion of cities with their trade, industry;

5) the economic policy of the feudal estate occupied a special place in the development of economic thought.

Salic truth (according to the exact name - "Salic Law" - Lex Salica) is judicial officer - a collection of ancient judicial customs of the Franks, recorded during VI-IX centuries.

The legal customs recorded in the Salic Truth relate mainly to the life and way of life of an ordinary Frankish village.

Particular attention in the Salic truth is given to allod.

Allodium - among the Germanic tribes and in the early feudal states of Western Europe - freely alienable individual-family land property. With the development of feudal relations, most of the small allods turned into dependent peasant holdings, and the allods of large and medium-sized landowners into benefices and fiefs. As a relic, allodial property also existed under developed feudalism. In Salic Truth, articles about allods mainly concern its inheritance.

Salic truth testifies that the Franks had a wide variety of industry - animal husbandry, beekeeping, horticulture, viticulture, as well as hunting and fishing. However, the main role in the economy of the Franks was played by agriculture. They sowed grain crops, flax, and had vegetable gardens where they grew beans, peas, cabbage, and turnips. The Franks were well acquainted with the plow and harrow. Plowing was done with oxen. Damage to a plowed field was punishable by a fine. The grain harvests were rich. The Franks carried the harvest from the fields on carts to which horses were harnessed. Every free Frankish peasant's house had outbuildings. The resulting harvest was stored in barns and barns. Water mills were not uncommon in the Frankish economy.

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 ... >>

New type of high performance permanent magnets 03.11.2017

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a new type of high-performance permanent magnet that should address the shortage of conventional samarium and neodymium-based permanent magnets. The basis of the new magnet is the structure of magnets based on the compound of samarium and cobalt (SmCo5), but most of the scarce and expensive cobalt atoms have been replaced by iron and nickel atoms.

Modern neodymium magnets have an advantage over magnets based on samarium and cobalt in terms of energy performance. The new magnet eliminates most of the known shortcomings of SmCo5 magnets, while maintaining their original high temperature efficiency.

Unfortunately, the replacement of the absolute majority of cobalt atoms with iron atoms having a larger magnetic moment makes the hexagonal crystal lattice of the magnet material thermodynamically unstable. Scientists at Livermore National Laboratory were able to get around the problem of instability by adding "stabilizing" nickel atoms to the crystal lattice.

Using the calculations of the electronic structure models of the new SmCoNiFe3 magnet, it was shown that this magnet has a number of remarkable magnetic properties and is able to replace SmCo5- or neodymium magnets in many areas of their application. "This is a very timely discovery," says Per Soderlind, lead researcher. cobalt, very inexpensive and available."

The researchers are currently awaiting a patent for a new kind of permanent magnet they have developed. And after obtaining a patent, they will begin to develop a method for the production of such magnets on an industrial scale.
