Roman women – priestesses, patrician women, mysterious guardians of the sacred flame of goddess Vesta, admired and respected, sometimes blamed for misfortune of the Eternal City. Vestals identified with the eternity of Rome, the priestesses having a specific, unavailable to other women power. That power gained at the moment of a ritual capture (captio) and responsibilities and privileges resulted from it are the subject matter of this paper. The special attention is paid to the importance of Vestals for Rome and Romans in various historic moments, and to the purifying rituals performed by Vestals on behalf of the Roman state’s fortune. The study presents probable dating and possible causes of the end of the College of the Vestals in Rome.

The aim of the investigation under consideration is to study the nature of the category of futurality within the system of modus categories in the French language. The object of the work is the category of futurality in contemporary French, the subject is the study of the category of futurality in contemporary French within the system of modus categories of evidentiality, modality and persuasiveness. In the course of the study, the distinctions between modality and modus have been outlined, the place of the category of futurality within the modus categories has been identified, the peculiarity of the category of futurality as a modus category has been analysed. Conclusions: the peculiarity of futurality as a modus category is that it belongs to the modus categories denoting action/event, real in the future “in the speaker’s view”. In this sense the category of futurality is closer to the categories of modality (real information stated by the speaker) and predicativity (confidence in the information stated by the speaker) in meaning, whereas differing from them by the semantics of the stated temporality denoting the relation of consequence in reference to the moment of speaking. The category of futurality is connected with other modus categories: category of assertion with semantics of neutral prospection, category of persuasiveness with the seme of assurance in reference to the future and category of modality with the seme of reality in reference to the future. The major types of modal meanings forming the modus category of futurality are: 1) speaker’s estimation of the subject matter of the utterance from the perspective of reality/irreality in the future; 2) estimation of the environment of the utterance from the perspective of probability/necessity/desirability in the future; 3) speaker’s estimation of the level of assurance (persuasiveness) of the subject matter of the utterance from the perspective of the future; 4) communicative function of the utterance defined by the purpose of the speaker from the perspective of the future (wish, intention, preference); 5) confirmation/negation of objective relations between objects, phenomena, events of the future.

Defining the discipline of psychology is still an important issue. Scientific analysis of psychological literature on the problem of determining the subject matter of psychology has shown the ambiguity of the term which is typical for psychological knowledge. Understanding the term “subject matter of psychology” is different depending on the numerous options of explicit and implicit context used by different authors as they adjoin “existing”, “objective reality”, “object”,“subject”, “knowledge”, “method”, and other terms. The article includes the review of the term “the subject of psychology” defined in the works of Russian and foreign scholars. It is stated that the development of views on the subject of psychology has not stopped at the moment. It is concluded that the predecessors have contributed greatly to understanding the subject field of psychology. The morphological analysis of scientific definitions “the object of psychology” hasbeen carried out. The usage frequency of the words defining the scientific content of the subject matter of psychology has been analyzed.

Gratto recently outlined five roles the public policy educator can assume, ranging from one with a pure “process” orientation to one where the subject matter is everything. Another recent publication describes six approaches to community development.

The article examines the definition of a closed list of features of a claim for the recogni-tion of a property right. The establishment of the features of a claim for the recognition of property right allows to correlate, distinguish the claim for the recognition of property right with other property claims and methods of protection of property rights, which ensures the prevention of competition lawsuits. Peculiarities of the action for recognition of property right are conditioned by its proprietary nature, i.e. by attributing it to proprietary lawsuits. The features of the action for recognition of the right in rem shall characterise the subject matter of proof and the conditions of satisfying such an action. The peculiarities of an action for recognition of property right may be divided into special and general characteristics - special characteristics are of qualifying nature allowing to distin-guish it from other property lawsuits; general characteristics result from the characteristic of this method of protection as a type of property action, since these characteristics are inherent to all property lawsuits. An action for recognition of property right is characterized by the following specific features: presence of the plaintiff's lawful possession of the subject of dispute; proprietary right acquired by the plaintiff on sufficient legal basis and preserved, exists for him at the time of the dispute; there is legal uncertainty in belonging of a person to a proprietary right; presence of the defendant's contesting the presence of proprietary right of the plaintiff; exclusive nature of application; independent legal significance of the claim for recognition of property right; non-contractual nature of claim; legal nego General, universal features of an action for recognition of property rights are as follows: non-contractual nature: there must be no binding relations between the plaintiff and the defendant regarding the subject matter of the dispute; legal uncertainty concerns individually identified thing, in most cases immovable thing, which physically exists at the moment of court decision; restoration character - vindication and negative actions restore situation existing before violation - restoration of possession and restoration of c An action for recognition of a property right cannot have the following properties: abso-lute nature of the claim; existence of a subject of ownership; absence of grounds indicating termination of ownership right; universality in application.

The subject matter of this article is the moment at which Soviet Russia made its first and unexpected step into international legal relations. My focus is the role played, as a legal adviser, by Yevgeniy Pashukanis. I trace the tragic trajectory of Pashukanis up to his murder by Stalin’s regime, and conclude with an evaluation of the significance of the Treaty. It is my contention that the General Theory is not at all representative of Pashukanis’ work as whole. With the exception of this text, Pashukanis was an orthodox Soviet legal scholar, adapting successfully to changes in the prevailing theoretical and ideological direction of the ussr. The Treaty between two defeated and to different extents pariah powers was of immense significance, not only for the immediate survival of Soviet Russia, and its gradual integration into the international legal order, but also for the subsequent trajectories of both countries.

Keep in mind the geographical, cultural and access in different regions of Indonesia, it becomes an obstacle in the education service. The results obtained that students' understanding of school.  The subject matter was weak. At the moment the teacher's role was only as a symbol that  carried out teaching assignments in the classroom, without evaluating whether his or her students can understand what has been said? Teachers were only trying to live out what the government has set, but those who accepted the risks are scholars as receiving education.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
