The accurate classification of causes of death is fundamental to progress in preventive medicine. Classifying death by poisoning may be specially difficult because the exact distinction between deliberate and accidental poisoning is inherently difficult for the coroner to make. Thus figures for suicidal poisoning are likely to be under-estimated because of ambiguous evidence and because of the stringent legal definition of suicide which coroners must apply. An examination of the drugs involved in poisoning cases, comparing their frequencies in the suicide and accident categories, may throw some light on the validity of coroners' present methods of classifying and provide evidence about the limits of error of under-estimation of the suicide rate.

The commentary presents an analysis of a thesis presented by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Judgment of 23rd of May 2018. The question referred to the Court in case C-658/17 WB concerned legal definition of a ‚court’ and legal classification of the national deed of certification of succession under the provisions of Regulation(EU) No 650/2012. The Judgment states that notary in Poland that draw up a deed of certificate of succession at the unanimous request of all the parties, does not constitute a ‚court’ within the meaning of that provision. Subsequently, a deed drawn up by such authority does not constitute a ‘decision’ within the meaning of that provision. The Judgment is particularly relevant since its impact extends to national certificates of succession issued by notaries in other countries, that are part of the Latin part notary system. In conclusion it is indicated, that the Judgment rendered by Tribunal, although highly rightful, relates to merely one of numerous issues concerning use of authentic documents in cross-border succession cases.

Purpose of the study. To analyze the legal issues, related to the definition of «medical rehabilitation» established in Russian legislation. Materials and methods. A comparative review of the definitions "medical rehabilitation" formulated by World Health Organization and the Russian legislator is made. The main problems of the legal definition of "medical rehabilitation" are studied, including: the problem of distinguishing between "medical rehabilitation" and "treatment". Results. The definition of the term "medical rehabilitation" and terminology used for medical rehabilitation are not consistent in Russian law (legislation still includes such archaic definitions as "rehabilitation treatment" and "rehabilitation medicine"). There is also no unified approach to the question of whether medical rehabilitation is a part of treatment or whether it is an independent stage of medical care. The boundaries between the concepts of "medical rehabilitation" and "treatment" are blurred. Conclusion. The absence of clear boundaries between the definitions of “medical rehabilitation” and “treatment” leads to the risk of violation of licensing requirements by medical organizations, because to determine the list of works (services) to be licensed, it is necessary to correctly determine the specifics of the services provided. The correct classification of a service as medical rehabilitation or medical treatment also effects on the specialization of the involved medical specialists, as well as on the allocated structural units of medical organization. The analysis shows that the main difference between treatment and rehabilitation is the approach. The approach to rehabilitation is broader, it’s primary goal is to return the patient to his previous social status, rather than clinical recovery. At the same time, the main difficulty in distinguishing the mentioned above definitions is related to the fact that the method underlying the medical service is actually licensed, but the same tools and methods can be used both in treatment and medical rehabilitation. Due to these ambiguities, it appears that the current legislation needs to be improved.

Abstract:In 1987, the American Rheumatism Association issued a set of criteria for the classification of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to provide a uniform definition of RA patients. Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic were used to transform this set of criteria into a diagnostic tool that offers diagnoses at different levels of confidence: a definite level, which was consistent with the original criteria definition, as well as several possible and superdefinite levels. Two fuzzy models and a reference model which provided results at a definite level only were applied to 292 clinical cases from a hospital for rheumatic diseases. At the definite level, all models yielded a sensitivity rate of 72.6% and a specificity rate of 87.0%. Sensitivity and specificity rates at the possible levels ranged from 73.3% to 85.6% and from 83.6% to 87.0%. At the superdefinite levels, sensitivity rates ranged from 39.0% to 63.7% and specificity rates from 90.4% to 95.2%. Fuzzy techniques were helpful to add flexibility to preexisting diagnostic criteria in order to obtain diagnoses at the desired level of confidence.

The article raises the problem of classification of the concepts of computer science and informatics studied at secondary school. The efficiency of creation of techniques of training of pupils in these concepts depends on its solution. The author proposes to consider classifications of the concepts of school informatics from four positions: on the cross-subject basis, the content lines of the educational subject "Informatics", the logical and structural interrelations and interactions of the studied concepts, the etymology of foreign-language and translated words in the definition of the concepts of informatics. As a result of the first classification general and special concepts are allocated; the second classification — inter-content and intra-content concepts; the third classification — stable (steady), expanding, key and auxiliary concepts; the fourth classification — concepts-nouns, conceptsverbs, concepts-adjectives and concepts — combinations of parts of speech.

Subject. This article deals with the issues of determining the market value of the trading business, taking into account a number of characteristics. Objectives. The article aims to develop certain provisions of the methodology and practice of evaluating the business of trading organizations, namely, taking into account the additional risk of inventory feasibility when calculating the discount rate. Methods. For the study, we used a systems approach, and the cognition, and economic and analytical research methods. Results. The article presents a three-tiered classification of stocks and a definition of risk based on the criteria for dividing stocks by purpose, degree of implementation, and shelf life in accordance with the scale. Based on the classification, the article offers certain recommendations for determining the discount rate when evaluating trading organizations, aimed at taking into account additional risk. Conclusions. Various evaluation procedures within the framework of traditional approaches and methods in relation to trading organizations do not take into account risk specific to this type of economic activity. The proposed methodology for calculating the discount rate for trade organizations takes into account the features of their functioning.

The Cold War

The concept of failed state came to the fore with the end of the Cold War, the collapse of the USSR and the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Political violence is central in these discussions on the definition of the concept or the determination of its dimensions (indicators). Specifically, the level of political violence, the type of political violence and intensity of political violence has been broached in the literature. An effective classification of political violence can lead us to a better understanding of state failure phenomenon. By using Tilly’s classification of collective violence which is based on extent of coordination among violent actors and salience of short-run damage, the role played by political violence in state failure can be understood clearly. In order to do this, two recent cases, Iraq and Syria will be examined.
