EconomicsUpdated on 3.87 KB

Legal Definition of Tributes

A tribute is a payment in money or a pecuniary benefit whose value can be measured, and it does not constitute a sanction for a tort or an illicit act.

The tribute is mandatory because it derives from the imperial power of the State over the individual, requiring payment in legal tender.

Illicit Acts and Legal Obligations

An illicit act is one that goes against the rules and is punished by the State. The juridical obligation to pay a tribute does not constitute an act of punishment or a sanction.

Taxable Events and Import/Export Taxes

A taxable event is the occurrence described by law that triggers a tax obligation. The source of the obligation is not a specific choice but the law itself. Examples include:

TechnologyUpdated on 4.06 KB

Piston Verification: Ensuring Optimal Engine Performance

Checking Piston Sliding Zones

Inspect the sliding zones of the piston. There should be no signs of jamming or excessive friction.

Weight Difference Between Pistons

Use a balance to compare the weight of each piston. Differences up to 4 grams are allowed. Larger differences can cause crankshaft imbalance and vibrations.

Piston Diameter

Pistons are not perfectly cylindrical. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to measure the diameter at the specified zone, usually at a certain distance from the head, measured transversally at the same height as the bolt. The installation clearance between the piston and cylinder compensates for thermal expansion and is typically between 0.02 and 0.05 mm.

Scholasticism, Rationalism, Empiricism and Materialism: Key Philosophical Movements

Philosophy and ethicsUpdated on 4.23 KB

Scholasticism

Scholasticism was a philosophical and theological movement conducted in schools and universities of medieval Europe from the mid-11th century until the mid-15th century.

  1. Fundamental harmony between reason and revelation. Any apparent opposition between revelation and reason could be traced to either a misuse of reason or a misinterpretation of the words of revelation. In conflicts between religious faith and philosophical reasoning, faith was always the ultimate arbiter. During the scholastic period, philosophy served theology.
  2. The problem of universals: Are universals
