The term lepidic is used prominently in the recently published multidisciplinary classification of adenocarcinoma. The lack of use in common (nonmedical) English has led to some confusion over the proper definition of this term. This historical perspective traces the history of the term lepidic from its origins at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, through its uses in English pathologic descriptions, to its current state in pulmonary pathology.

Date of «birth» of phytosociology (phytocenology) is considered to be 1910, when at the third International Botanical Congress in Brussels adopted the definition of plant association in the wording Including Flaó and K. Schröter (Flahault, Schröter, 1910; Alexandrov, 1969). The centenary of this momentous event in the history of phytocenology devoted to the 46th edition of the Yearbook «Braun-Blanquetia», which began to emerge in 1984 in Camerino (Italy) and it has a task to publish large geobotanical works. During the years of the publication of the Yearbook on its pages were published twice work of the Russian scientists — «The steppes of Mongolia» (Z. V. Karamysheva, V. N. Khramtsov. Vol. 17. 1995), and «Classification of continental hemiboreal forests of Northern Asia» (N. B. Ermakov in collaboration with English colleagues and J. Dring, J. Rodwell. Vol. 28. 2000).

The need for filtering intravenous infusions has long been recognized in the field of venous access, though hard scientific evidence about the actual indications for in-line filters has been scarce. In the last few years, several papers and a few clinical studies have raised again this issue, suggesting that the time has come for a proper definition of the type of filtration, of its potential benefit, and of its proper indications in clinical practice. The WoCoVA Foundation, whose goal is to increase the global awareness on the risk of intravenous access and on patients’ safety, developed the project of a consensus on intravenous filtration. A panel of experts in different aspects of intravenous infusion was chosen to express the current state of knowledge about filtration and to indicate the direction of future research in this field. The present document reports the final conclusions of the panel.

This article is a critical reassessment of the major Knossian deposits assigned by Evans to the Middle Minoan I A phase. It is divided into three main sections: first, an introduction, in which the author discusses the development of the definition of Knossian MM IA pottery; second, a detailed discussion of each deposit, based upon a systematic and first-hand re-examination of the ceramic material, and of the relevant written sources; third, a discussion of the problems concerning the classification of these deposits, and a typological study of their ceramic assemblages. The picture of Knossian MM IA pottery which emerges from this study is remarkably different from that presented by Evans, which is generally accepted. This has further implications not only for the study of Minoan pottery, but also for the early history of the site.

Based on the analysis of the current state of the penal system, the article analyzes present-day approaches in the system of tools for understanding unlawful manifestations of pre-criminal behavior in places of social isolation. It states the importance of traditional methods of operational and investigative diagnostics and operational and investigative identification in obtaining primary information regarding the objects of operational interest. According to the criteria of the criminal encroachment object and the degree of importance of the relations protected by the criminal law, which could be damaged if an offense is committed in terms of social isolation, the article carries out an analysis and offers a classification of the objects that need to be monitored by the operational and institutional control. The article analyses the possibilities of specific characteristics of the digital environment, innovative modeling and forecasting methods that underlie the construction of an abstract model of pre-criminal behavior. On the basis of a comparative analysis of working with the big data, it substantiates the necessity of integrating the existing types of recordings into an entire system. It emphasizes the importance of criminological knowledge in the technology of operational recognition and formulates the definition of recognition of unlawful behavior of an unidentified person in places of social isolation.

RESUMOEste capítulo introdutório tem por objetivo mostrar o papel da ‘literatura normativa pragmática’ no regime histórico de produção de conhecimento nos impérios ibéricos do início da modernidade (séculos XVI-XVII) e definir esse gênero literário em vista de sua função. Ele começa com uma tentativa de apresentar a história do direito dos impérios ibéricos como parte de uma tradição jurídica que pode ser compreendida como um enorme processo diacrônico de intertextualidade, uma longa história de atos reiterativos de tradução de informação normativa em conhecimento normativo. Ele destaca a razão pela qual o conhecimento normativo produzido por atores religiosos foi de grande significância dentro da economia do conhecimento dos impérios ibéricos nos séculos XVI e XVII e como teologia prática, práticas normativas e literatura pragmática estavam entrelaçadas. Dessa reconstrução de certas características fundamentais, é possível sugerir a definição de ‘literatura normativa pragmática’, resumir o atual estado das pesquisas sobre as formas de comunicação que compuseram o gênero e concluir com alguns comentários sobre porque a literatura pragmática pode ter sido de especial significância para governar um império.PALAVRAS-CHAVEHistória do direito.

It starts with an attempt to present the legal history of the Iberian empires as part of a legal tradition that can be understood as a huge diachronic process of intertextuality, a long history of reiterative acts of translating normative information into normative knowledge. It outlines why normative knowledge produced by religious actors was of overwhelming significance within the knowledge economy of the 16th- and 17th-century Iberian empires and how practical theology, normative practices and pragmatic literature were intertwined. From this reconstruction of certain fundamental characteristics, it is possible to suggest a definition of ‘pragmatic normative literature’, to summarise the current state of research on the media that comprised this genre and to conclude with some remarks on why pragmatic literature might have been of special significance for governing an empire.KEYWORDSLegal History.

The objective of this paper is to review the history of terminology supporting the scientific disciplines of underwater/submarine, maritime and nautical archaeology within the framework of Croatian archaeology, and provide recommendations for future classifications. Underwater archaeology and submarine archaeology are generally accepted technical terms denoting archaeological research conducted under special conditions, and requiring appropriate equipment and tools. Proper definition of terms nautical and maritime archaeology makes it possible to differentiate between the tasks and objectives of the two disciplines and clarify their scientific contributions to archaeology in general, providing a much clearer perception of their content and meaning.

The chapter gives an introduction to the current state of scholarship on monasticism, and it sets out an agenda for the future. It begins with a consideration of monasticism’s long historical arc, its longue durée. Few movements in the history of Christianity have had such lasting importance. The chapter then looks ahead to the great variety of monastic practices described by contributors to the volume. It draws attention to patterns of continuity and change, to recurring themes, and to major debates in the field. The experience of Christian monasticism is multifaceted, for it has assumed different forms in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Protestant, and Anglican traditions, and in contemporary ‘new monasticism’. What, then, is Christian monasticism, and what are its essential features? It is surprisingly difficult to come to a definition of the monastic way of life, and the chapter ends with an exploration of this issue.

Subject. This article tends the approaches to identifying the category of subsidized budget in the Russian Federation and classifying the regions by level of their subsidy dependence. Objectives. The article aims to explore approaches to the interpretation of the category of subsidized budget, propose criteria for categorizing the regional budgets as the subsidy dependent ones, offer an original definition of the local budget subsidy dependence, and on this basis, classify the regions of Russia by level of subsidy dependence. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative, logical, and statistical analyses, and grouping. Results. The article proposes an original definition of budget subsidy dependence and a classification of regions by subsidy dependence level. It also highlights the main problems of Russia's heavily subsidized regions. Conclusions and Relevance. The proposed identification and classification of subsidized regional budgets and analysis of their current state helped reveal the increasing financial dependence of regional budgets on Federal center grants. The results of the study can be used to further explore the area of modification of regulation of inter-budgetary relations based on the type of subsidization of Russia's regions.

The article is devoted to the institution of obligations arising due to causing harm in the light of the reform of civil legislation and established law enforcement practice. On the basis of the effective legislation analysis, analysis of the doctrine and jurisprudence, the author explores the concept of harm. The paper provides for the classification of characteristic cases of causing harm to participants of relations regulated under civil law. It is concluded that the absence of the legal definition of the concept “harm” widely used in the Russian legislation has led to the confusion of the legal categories of “causing harm” and “causing losses” as grounds for tort liability in public sectors of legislation and jurisprudence. The paper contains the author’s classifications of types of harm caused to property. The article reveals the content of the concept of non-property (reputational) harm caused to a legal entity. A comparative study of the concepts of “harm,” “damages,” “losses” has been carried out. It is concluded that tort liability can be imposed if harm rather than losses has been caused. The author explores the issues of application of recovery if losses are caused. The author analyzes the subinstitution — obligations arising due to harm caused by acts of public authority — in the field of public administration and law enforcement. The paper examines conditions for imposing tort liability for harm caused by state bodies and local self-government bodies, as well as their officials, and features of the subject composition of tort obligations. The author draws attention to the civil law nature of legal relations arising as a result of causing harm in the field of criminal proceedings, focuses on features of tort liability for harm caused in the field of criminal proceedings and subject composition of tort liability for causing harm in the field of governmental power. The author proposes to introduce into the effective civil legislation the rule containing the definition of the concept of harm as a generic concept. It is proposed to supplement the institution of liability arising as the result of causing harm with provisions regarding a public law entity whose property may be damaged and the classification of the harm caused to the participants of legal relation regulated under civil law. It is proposed to make a number of changes and additions to the subinstitution — obligations arising as the result of harm caused by the acts of public authority.
