Lawyer Stefan Dushan. Breakup of Serbia

The most significant monument of Serbian law was Lawyer Stefan Dušan, which was accepted in 1349

In this case, it should be noted that Dushan's codification served to consolidate feudal relations. This collection of norms of ancient Serbian law contributed to overcoming pagan antiquity. This collection of laws was not a detailed regulation of all aspects of public and state life. It was supplemented by some Byzantine codes of laws. Although it should be noted that in many respects the Lawyer is critical of Byzantine law (for example, prohibiting pledges), and seeks to either eliminate or reform old customs.

The lawyer has undergone significant changes.

So, in 1354, additions were made to it:

1) it was forbidden to increase peasant duties;

2) judicial protection of peasants (including serfs) was allowed;

3) punishments for resistance to the state and landlords were increased.

Should stop at regulation by the Lawyer of the field of criminal relations - about a third of all articles. The compilers of the code took care, first of all, of the defense of the Christian religion against paganism, which has not yet been outlived. Returning to the latter or converting to another faith is punishable by death. Among state crimes, treason and robbery are in the first place. In the fight against them, the punishment of uninvolved persons is sanctioned, that is, objective imputation. In cases of high treason, "brother for brother, father for son, relative for relative" are liable, that is, all those who lived on the same household with the criminal. The traitor himself is punished by death and confiscation of property. Circular responsibility binds the Lawyer of the members of the friend. They must either extradite the culprit, or answer all together. And this applied not only to robbery, but also to theft, as well as other crimes, such as counterfeiting coins. Self-mutilating punishments and fines, borrowed from Byzantine law, were widely used. Failure to pay the fine was punishable by death. Self-mutilation extended to free peasants - if they gather for some reason without the permission of the authorities. The initiative in criminal prosecution for state and religious crimes belongs to the state. Serbian ecclesiastical courts are dominated by inquisitorial forms of legal proceedings. The state perceives them when investigating political crimes. At the same time, the old forms of the ordeal are widely used. Both the thief and the robber must "pass through the iron". The accused had to take out red-hot iron from the fire and carry it in his hands from the church gates to the very altar. Witness testimony is widely used. They believed only the very first testimony, subsequent ones were not taken into account. Consideration of cases was conducted, as a rule, orally and publicly. But at the same time, a protocol was written, and the court decision was recorded on paper.

Shortly after the death of Stefan Dusan, Serbia began to quickly disintegrate into destinies. This circumstance was not slow to take advantage of the Seljuk Turks, who were impatiently waiting in the wings.

In the battle on the Kossovo field in 1389. Serbs after heroic resistance were defeated by the Turks. The occupied lands were divided into service plots and distributed to the Turkish army. The government of Serbia was given into the hands of fanatical and cruel Muslim officials. The population, contemptuously referred to as the herd, had to bear the yoke of taxes, and in addition, every five years, give the conquerors a certain number of boys. The Turks brought up from them a select part of their guard - the Janissaries. With the conquest of Serbia and Bulgaria, their independent state existence ceased for a long time.

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 ... >>

Fabric with built-in heating 28.04.2002

The American company Maiden Mills presented a fabric equipped with a built-in heating system.

Polartec jackets and sheepskin coats made with it are quickly becoming popular with athletes and the military. Instead of traditional wires, stainless steel microfibers are woven into the fabric. These microfibers are thinner than a human hair. In terms of softness, they do not differ from ordinary threads and are not damaged during washing and wearing. Miracle jackets work in two modes: moderate, in which the fibers are able to heat up to a temperature of 42 ° C for 5 hours, and intensive, when clothes are heated to 2,5 ° C in 46 hours.

Maiden Mills plans to include heated gloves, air-conditioned clothing, as well as heart rate and body temperature indicators. The only problem at the moment is the fragility and bulkiness of lithium batteries used as batteries.
