In this article the author examines state-church relations in Central Asia in the 1940s - mid 1960s illustrated by the example of the Tashkent Deanery during the period of the development of the Russian Orthodox Church under the patronage of the institute of state commissioners for the Russian Orthodox Church. On the basis of an analysis of unpublished archival sources, the author describes the process of reconstruction of parishes on the territory of the Tashkent and Central Asian dioceses, analyzes the economic and property relations between the state and the church, and the financial activities of the Orthodox parishes of the Tashkent deanery. The author focuses on issues related to the staff of Orthodox priests assigned to parishes, their level of education. The author briefly touches on the problem of Catholics and representatives of the Armenian Gregorian Church, who were not allowed to establish houses of prayer. The article provides statistics of the rituals requested in Tashkent in the context of the Assumption Cathedral and the Alexander Nevsky Church. The author comes to the conclusion that the demand for Orthodox rituals in the churches of Tashkent was associated with the high proportion of the Russian population living in the capital., Автор рассматривает государственно-церковные отношения в Средней Азии в 1940-1960-е гг. на примере Ташкентского благочиния в период пребывания Русской православной церкви под патронажем института государственных уполномоченных по делам Русской православной церкви. На основе анализа неопубликованных архивных источников дается характеристика процесса восстановления приходов на территории Ташкентской и Среднеазиатской епархии, анализируются хозяйственно-имущественные отношения государства и церкви, финансовая деятельность православных приходов Ташкентского благочиния. В фокусе внимания автора находятся вопросы, связанные с кадровым составом приписанных к приходам православных священников, их уровнем образования. Автор кратко касается проблемы католиков и последователей армяно-григорианской церкви, которым не разрешалось создавать молитвенные дома. Приводится статистика запрашиваемых в Ташкенте обрядов на примере Успенского кафедрального собора и Александро-Невского храма. Автор приходит к выводу, что востребованность православных обрядов в храмах Ташкента была связана с высокой долей русского населения, проживающего в столице Узбекистана.

Les comptes de l’officialité épiscopale de Châlons offrent une série bien conservée sur la longue durée (1430-1530). Leur structure codicologique est très semblable à celle qui est connue pour nombre de comptabilités médiévales. Présentant les recettes puis les dépenses de la cour, ils éclairent singulièrement son activité et son rôle dans le gouvernement de l’Église locale, par le lien qu’elle assure entre l’évêque et les doyens, les curés, les fidèles, non seulement par une activité judiciaire visible dans les amendes prélevées, mais également par l’exercice d’une juridiction gracieuse et d’une fiscalité régulière. La vérification et la validation des comptes sont également les signes visibles du pouvoir épiscopal et sont l’occasion de rappeler que l’officialité est bien un organe du gouvernement du diocèse. The accounts of the episcopal court of Châlons offer a series well preserved over the long term (1430-1530). Their codicological structure is very similar to that known for many medieval accounts. Presenting the receipts and the payments of the court, they enlighten singularly its activity and its role in the government of the local Church ; the court represents a link between the bishop and the rural deans, the priests, the faithful, not only by a judicial activity, but also by the exercise of a gracious jurisdiction and a regular taxation. Verification and validation of accounts are also visible signs of episcopal power and are an occasion to show that officiality is indeed an organ of the government of the diocese. Las cuentas de la oficialidad episcopal de Châlons constituyen una sección bien conservada en la larga duración (1430-1530). Su estructura codicológica es muy similar a la conocida en numerosas contabilidades medievales. Presentando primero las rentas y luego los gastos de la corte, aclaran de forma notable su actividad y su papel en el gobierno de la Iglesia local, estableciendo esta corte un vínculo entre el obispo y los decanos, curas y fieles, no solo mediante una actividad judicial visible en las multas que se recaudan sino también mediante el ejercicio de una jurisdicción graciosa y una fiscalidad regular. La verificación y validación de las cuentas también son signos visibles del poder episcopal y ofrecen la oportunidad de recordar que la oficialidad es un órgano efectivo del gobierno de la diócesis. Die Konten des bischöflichen Offizialats von Châlons sind über einen langen Zeitraum in gutem Zustand erhalten (1430-1530). Ihre kodikologische Struktur ähnelt jener vieler anderer mittelalterlicher Rechnungsbücher. Sie enthalten die Einnahmen und die Ausgaben des Hofes und bieten einen einmaligen Einblick in dessen Tätigkeiten und seine Rolle bei der Leitung einer lokalen Kirche, die er zwischen dem Bischof, den Dekanen, den Pfarrern und den Gläubigen einnimmt. Diese wird nicht nur durch die juristischen Tätigkeiten, die bei den erhobenen Bußgeldern sichtbar werden, sondern auch durch die Ausübung einer unentgeltlichen Rechtsprechung und eines regulären Steuerwesens gewährleistet. Die Rechnungsprüfung und die Gültigkeitserklärung für die Konten sind ebenfalls sichtbare Zeichen der bischöflichen Macht und bieten Gelegenheit, daran zu erinnern, dass das Offizialat ein Regierungsorgan der Diözese war.

Tłumaczenie streszczenia w języku angielskim Aneta Kiper. Funkcjonowanie archiwum dziekańskiego nie ma uregulowania w powszechnym prawie kanonicznym Kościoła Katolickiego. Wskazane tam obowiązki dziekana, który jest bliższym współpracownikiem biskupa, pośrednio domagają się prowadzenia przez niego kancelarii dziekańskiej. W aktach opracowanych przez synody polskie wskazano na konieczność istnienia archiwum dziekańskiego, które przechowuje akta i dokumentację wytworzoną przez dziekana lub zebrane przez niego z parafii, zgodnie z przepisami prawa. Przepisy te mają charakter ogólny i nakazują prowadzenie osobnego od archiwum parafialnego archiwum dziekańskiego lecz nie zawierają bardziej szczegółowych unormowań dotyczących sposobu zabezpieczania, przechowywania i udostępniania dokumentacji oraz sytuacji kiedy materiały te należy przekazać do centralnego archiwum historycznego w diecezji. The function of the dean’s archive is not regulated in the canon law of the Catholic Church. The duties of a dean, who is the bishop’s close associate, require an independent dean’s offi ce. The records produced by Polish synods recognise the necessity of establishing the dean’s archive, which can preserve the records and documentation produced by a dean or collected by him from parishes in accordance with the laws. The regulations of the synods require running the dean’s archive as an institution independent of parish archives, but they do not specify in detail how these records should be preserved and made available, and when the materials ought to be transferred to the central historical archives in the diocese.

В научной литературе, посвященной истории Санкт-Петербургской епархии, упоминался факт существования благочиния эстонских приходов, однако его история до сих пор не изучалась. В связи с увеличением числа эстонцев, мигрировавших в Петербургскую губернию на заработки во второй половине ХIХ в. и часто остававшихся жить здесь, в 1894 г. был создан эстонский православный приход в Петербурге, была открыта священническая вакансия, которую занял выпускник Санкт-Петербургской духовной академии, кандидат богословия Павел Кульбуш, построивший в столице храм в честь священномученика Исидора Юрьевского в 1907 г. В 1900 г., видя усилия по постройке храма и активность Кульбуша, церковные власти решили открыть благочиние русско-эстонских приходов епархии, чтобы скоординированно осуществлять их деятельность и поощрять их рост и активность с назначением на эту должность священника Павла Кульбуша. В 1904 г. из состава благочиния были выделены русские приходы. По состоянию на вторую половину 1913 г. благочиние насчитывало восемь храмов — шесть эстонских, один латышский и один финский. В статье приведены данные о клире этих приходов, устройстве школ и деятельности попечительств, а также о состоянии кладбищ. Исследование показало, что появление талантливого организатора — священника Павла Кульбуша — открывало перспективы в решении вопроса окормления эстонцев в духе государственной идеи, основывавшей монархическую государственность на православии. За 17 лет деятельности отец Павел не только создал и собрал в единую систему эстонские приходы, но и заложил основы для более легкой репатриации эстонцев после революции, а до того — способствовал мирному сосуществованию русских и эстонских общин. Благочиние, жизнь в котором к 1905–1907 гг. в целом была налажена, продолжало расти и развиваться. Перспектива его развития состояла в объединении всех балтийских (включая латвийские и финские вне территории Финляндии) православных Петербургской губернии в одно церковное подразделение. Кульбушу также удалось создать небольшую сеть эстонских приходских школ, составившую существенную конкуренцию лютеранским школам. На далеких перспективах развития благочиния эстонских приходов крест поставили революционные события 1917 г., In the scientific literature on the St. Petersburg diocese history was mentioned the fact of the existence of the deanery of Estonian parishes, but its history has not yet been studied. Because of increase in the number of Estonians who migrated to St. Petersburg province to earn money in the second half of the 19th century and often left to live here, an Estonian Orthodox parish in St. Petersburg was created in 1894, a priestly vacancy was opened, which was taken by a graduate of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, a candidate of theology Pavel Kulbush, who built a church of the holy martyr Isidor of Yuryev in the capital in 1907. In 1900, seeing the efforts to build the church and the Kulbush’s activity, the church authorities decided to open the deanery of the Russian-Estonian parishes in order to coordinate their activities and to encourage their growth with the appointment of priest Pavel Kulbush. In 1904 Russian parishes were separated from the deanery. In the second half of 1913 the deanery consisted of eight churches — 6 Estonian, 1 Latvian and 1 Finnish. The article provides data on the clergy in these parishes, the structure of schools and the activities of guardianships, as well as the state of cemeteries. The study showed that the emergence of a talented organizer — priest Pavel Kulbush — opened up prospects for resolving the issue of Estonians nourishing in the Orthodox idea, on which founded monarchist statehood. Over the 17 years of activity Rev. Pavel not only created and put Estonian parishes into a single system, but also laid the foundations for easier Estonians repatriation after the revolution, and before that, facilitated the peaceful coexistence of Russian and Estonian communities. Deanery, life in which by 1905–1907 as a whole had been established, continued to grow and develop. The prospect of its development consisted in the unification of all the Baltic Orthodox of Petersburg province (including Latvian and Finnish outside the territory of Finland) in one church unit. Kulbush also managed to create a network of Estonian parish schools, which made a significant competition to Lutheran schools. On the distant prospects for the development of the deanery of Estonian parishes, the revolutionary events of 1917 put an end to

Teritorijalni ustroj Katoličke crkve na području Hrvatskoga zagorja može se pratiti neposredno nakon razdoblja kristijanizacije. Osnovana je Sisačka biskupija a kasnije Zagrebačka biskupija. Župe su bile svrstane u arhiđakonate a nakon niza stoljeća arhiđakonati su bili podijeljeni na dekanate u kojima je obično bilo deset župa. Župe su tijekom vremena mijenjale svoje granice, svoja sjedišta a i svoje titulare. Osnivale su se nove župe razdvajanjem pojedine župe i odvajanjem dijela područja jedne ili više župa. Dolazilo je i do spajanja dekanata i ujedinjavanja arhiđakonata. Na kraju, od dijelova područja Zagrebačke nadbiskupije osnovane su nove biskupije. Danas na području Hrvatskoga zagorja Zagrebačka metropolija ima 71 župu razvrstanih u 9 dekanata koji su uključeni u 3 arhiđakonata u sastavu 3 biskupije., The territorial organization of the Catholic church in the area of Hrvatsko Zagorje can be traced right after the period of Christianization. First, the Sisak Diocese was founded and later the Zagreb Diocese. Parishes were classified into archdeaconries, and after a few centuries archdeaconries were divided into deaneries where ten parishes usually existed. Parishes have changed their boundaries, their seats and their titles over time. New parishes were founded by separating a parish and separating part of the area of one or more parishes. There were also reunifications of deaneries and unifications of archdeaconries. Finally, new dioceses were founded from parts of the Zagreb Diocese. Today, in the area of Hrvatsko Zagorje, the Zagreb Metropoly has 71 parishes, divided into 9 deaneries, included in 3 archdioceses belonging to 3 dioceses.

PhDr. Jaroslav Mrňa Církevní a obecné dějiny 19. a 20. století Název disertační práce v anglickém jazyce: Parish chronicles as a source of religious and social history using the example of commemorative books of parishes in the deanery of Velke Mezirici. Abstrakt v anglickém jazyce: The parish chronicles in themself conceal next to unique link of the thoughts and activities of parish administrators, the administrative office of the authority given to them, also conceal valuable data from the life story of the parish itself. The dissertation thesis Parish chronicles as a source of religious and social history using the example of commemorative books of parishes in the deanery of Velke Mezirici deals with the problems of the existence of parish chronicles and their use of the modern historical work in the field of religious and social history. For the presentation of the testifying value of the source, of commemorative books of parishes in the deanery of Velke Mezirici were selected. After introductory criticism of sources and literature is followed a chapter dedicated to the view of the Christian perception of the history, the development of chronicles in the individual historical periods and the evaluation of the parish chronicle as a commemorative or office book, an artwork. It is followed by a section...

The diploma thesis deals with a statistical study of two books of protocols in the office of the vicar episcopal in Pelhřimov. They both cover the period from 1750 to 1831. It is focused on the time when Vincenc Josef Rubricius from Nová Cerekev was in the office of the vicar episcopal. In 1790 he became a vicar episcopal and stayed in his office for three decades until the time of his death in 1821. Thanks to his diligence and precision in maintaining the official agenda and the long-term work in the office of the vicar episopal, it was possible to perceive the studied time period as a coherent unit. Such a notation in the book of protocols was an evidence about the official acts. The statistical data about the number of the notations are described in the diploma thesis in 32 chapters, each of them for a particular year. It studies the number in the particular months, weeks as well as days. Due to this, it monitors the number of the official acts, e. g. with the consistory in České Budějovice, the other parish offices belonging to the vicariate, the Regional Authority in Tábor or the deanery in Pelhřimov. Even the visitations in particular parish offices were noted down into the books of protocols. Owing to these notations, it was possible to describe into details how the visitations were carried out during a particular year.

Odlagalište otpada Jakuševec-Prudinec smješteno je u istočnom dijelu grada Zagreba, na zagrebačkom vodonosniku koji je temelj vodoopskrbe grada Zagreba. Nizvodno od odlagališta nalaze se dva značajna područja aspekta vodoopskrbe, vodocrpilište Velika Gorica i buduće vodocrpilište Kosnica. U radu je analiziran kemijski sastav procjedne vode odlagališta otpada Jakuševec - Prudinec koja se uzrokuje na 3 lokacije (u dekantu, u sabirnom bazenu i na lokaciji ispusta pročišćene vode u rijeku Savu). Prikupljeni su podaci o kemijskom sastavu procjedne vode za vremensko razdoblje od 2006. do 2015. godine, te su analizirani svi mjereni parametri. Provedena je usporedba kemijskog sastava procjedne vode prije i nakon uređaja za pročišćivanje s ciljem detektiranja uĉinkovitosti rada uređaja za pročišćavanje procjednih voda odlagališta otpada Jakuševec-Prudinec., Waste landfill Jakuševac - Prudinec is located on the eastern part of city of Zagreb, on aquifer located in Zagreb, which is the basis of Zagreb's water supply. Downstream of the landfill there are two significant areas from water aspect, Velika Gorica wellfield and the future Kosnica wellfield. In the Master's Thesis the chemical composition of leachates were analyzed, which were based on three locations (in the deanery, in the collection pool, and on the location where the purified water enters the river Sava). The data for chemical composition was gathered for the time period from 2006 to 2015 and all of the measured parameters were analyzed. Comparison is made for the chemical composition of water with the water cleanser for the results of before and after usage with a goal to detect the efficiency of the device for cleansing of leachates in Jakuševac - Prudinec landfill.

Background Experiences and attitudes of clinical trainers of undergraduate medical students and postgraduate medical trainees in secondary care have received limited attention. Anecdotally, clinical teaching is becoming increasingly restricted by clinical service pressures, thereby presenting a risk to the quality of training provision. Methods To explore the commitment, experience and attitudes of clinical teachers and trainers of undergraduate medical students and postgraduate trainees, respectively, amongst secondary care providers across a UK Healthcare Workforce Deanery, an invitation to complete a study-specific, on-line survey, comprising predominantly yes/no response and 5-point Likert scale statements with some open questions, was sent to all registered secondary care trainers/supervisors working in the East Midlands Strategic Health Authority. The survey was open between February and June 2012, with two reminders to complete. Responses were anonymised and the frequency of responses to questions was analysed. Data were analysed for the whole study population and for the relationship between frequency of responses and gender. Results The majority of teachers/trainers considered that they were well prepared and fulfilled their clinical teaching responsibilities. Many reported having restricted time for preparation and delivery and that teaching activities were often completed in their own time. Despite reported poor support and low incentives, many respondents felt valued for their clinical teaching by their Medical Schools and the Deanery, but less so by hospital Trusts. Conclusions Respondents indicated that some faculty like and enjoy clinical teaching despite lack of allocated time, resources and recognition. The majority indicated that they feel confident and competent in their clinical teaching roles. Insufficient dedicated time due to competing clinical service pressures was reported as the major barrier to clinical teaching provision.

Ketverių metų“ seimo metu buvo nutarta dėl administracinio Vilniaus vaivadijos padalijimo. Tačiau galutinai apskritis buvo suformuota 1792 m. Ašmenos apskritis buvo padalinta išilgai Neries upės. Jos pietinė dalis liko Ašmenos apskričiai, o iš jos šiaurinės dalies buvo sudaryta nauja Užnerio apskritis su centru Pastovyje. Naujoji apskritis priklausė Vilniaus gubernijai. Sekantis administraciniai pasikeitimai vyko 1839 m. ir tęsesi iki 1843 m. Apskritis buvo padidinta ir pakeitė savo pavadinimą į Švenčionių apskritį. Apskritis buvo sudaryta iš vieno dekanato kuris 1829 m. skilo į Švenčionių ir Svyrių. Užnerio apskrities bajorai po trečiojo valstybės padalijimo pradėjo įrodinėti savo kilmė, be abėjo toks pat procesas vyko ir kitose gubernijos apskritise. Dauguma turtingų bajorų, pasirupino kilmės įrodymais iki 1830-31 m. O smulkieji bajorai, dėl liešų trukumo ir tinkamų dokumetų stokos nebegalėjo to padaryti. Del to didesnė jų dalis po sukilimo buvo eliminuota iš luomo. Bajoriškos valdos skyrėsi savo dydžių, atnešamų pelnų ir valstiečių dydži��. Apskrityje vyravo vidutinių bajorų valdos, kurios siekė iki 1000 dešimtinių. Nagrinėjant bažnytinės metrikas, sužinome, apie bajorų užrašymo būdus, kaip kunigai, juos įrašydavo i metrikas. Per 23 metus apskrityje gimė 5271 bajorų vaikas, tarp jų 55,2 procento berniukų ir 44, 8 mergaičių. Nagrinėjant nesantuokinius vaikus, paaiškėjo, jog jie dažnaiusiai gimdavo smulkiųjų bajorų šeimose. Daugiausia bajorų gimdavo kaimuose o mažiausiai... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] During the four-year Parliament governance, it was decided for administrational division of Vilnius region. However, finally, this region was formed in 1792. Ašmena region was divided along Neris River. Its south part was left for Ašmena region and a new Užneris region of its north part with center in Pastovis was established. This new region belonged to Vilnius government. The later administrational changes were performed in 1839 and they continued up to 1843. This region was expanded and its name was changed into Švenčionys region. The region contained one deanery, which splitted into Švencionys and Svyriai in 1829. The nobles of Užneris region after the third division of the country started proving their origin. The same phenomenon happened in the others regions of the government. The majority of the rich nobles had taken care of the origin evidences before 1830-31. Small nobles could not do that due to lack of resources and documents. Because of the absence of the documents they were eliminated of the noble estate after the revolt. The nobles’ possessions were different in size, benefits and number of rustics. In this region, the biggest part of the average nobles prevailed that reached up to 1000 tithes. While anlysing church metrics, we get to know the information about the way the nobles were inscribed into metrics. It was born 5271 children of nobles over 23 years in the region; 55,2 percent of boys and 44,8 percent of girls. Irregular children were born mostly in... [to full text]

U ovom radu autor istražuje pravno-konstitutivne elemente i oblike pastoralnih jedinica u Zakoniku kanonskoga prava iz 1983. Zakonik za promicanje zajedničkog pastoralnog djelovanja na području više župa predviđa ustanovljenje posebnih skupina, kao što su dekanati (kan. 374, § 2). Osim dekanata Zakonik otvara mogućnost zajedničkog pastoralnog djelovanja na više župa i drugim oblicima kanonskih pastoralnih jedinica: a) više župa povjereno in solidum grupi svećenika (kan, 517, § 1); b) više susjednih župa povjereno istom župniku (kan. 526, § 1); c) više župa u kojima jedan župni vikar pastoralno djeluje u određenom sektoru (kan. 545, § 2); d) jedna (ili više) župa povjerena svećeniku s vlašću i ovlastima župnika uz sudjelovanje u pastoralnom djelovanju župe đakona ili druge osobe koja nema svećeničkog biljega ili zajednice osoba (kan. 517, § 2). Više bližih župa u kojima su vjernici ujedinjeni sociološkim, povijesnim, zemljopisnim vezama privilegirana su mjesta suradnje ne samo zbog koristi praktičnosti, već kao izričaj i očitovanje otajstva same Crkve. Sve veće pomanjkanje svećenika u skrbi za duše, svrsishodna raspodjela osoba, promicanje uspješnijeg i kordiniranijeg zajedničkog pastoralnog djelovanja ukazuju na potrebu promišljanja o mogućim oblicima zajedničkog pastoralnog djelovanja na području više župa tj. o pravno osnovanim pastoralnim jedinicama., In this work, the author investigates the legal-constitutive elements and forms of pastoral units in the light of the prevailing Code of Canon Law. To foster common pastoral care on the territories of large parishes, the Code anticipates the establishment of special groups, such as deaneries (Can. 3 74, § 2). The Code leaves the determination of the most successful model for cooperation among the deaneries to the territorial law. Besides deaneries, the Code opens the possibility for common pastoral activity on multi-parish and other forms of Canonical pastoral units: a) several parishes entrusted to several priests jointly, in solidum (Can. 517, §1); b) a number of neighbouring parishes may be entrusted to one parish priest (Can, 526, §1); c) a number of parishes may be entrusted to a parish vicar in a particular pastoral sector (Can. 545, § 2); d) one or more parish communities entrusted to a deacon or other person who is not a priest or a community of persons, under the supervision of some priest with the power and faculties of a parish priest (Can. 517, § 2). Several neighbouring parishes in which the faithful are united by social, historical and geographical bonds are privileged places of cooperation, not only for reasons of utility but as an expression and profession of the mystery of the Church itself. The increasing shortage of priests for the care of souls, effective distribution of personnel, and the fostering of successful and coordinated common pastoral activity demonstrate the need for thinking about the possible forms of common pastoral activity on the territory of several parishes, i.e. in legally established pastoral units in the light of the Code of Canon Law. Through commentary and comparison of canon legal sources and literature, the author presents: I. Legal-constitutive elements of pastoral units; II. Canon forms of pastoral units.
