The article examines the context of a recently discovered double bath-house complex in Loutres, a site near Mochlos on the north shore of eastern Crete. The excavators explore the broader questions ...posed by the finding, in connection to both its immediate surroundings and its wider periphery. Its relation to the site’s geography, a ravine on the shore, forms the starting point to address issues regarding its original use as well as its later transformations. The enquiry leads into considering similar structures with different fates in the area and the connotations regarding their relationship to both the landscape and the settlements to which they belonged. The article goes on to discuss the general issues of the historic context of medieval Crete concerning both the archaeology and the information from the sources. It seems that long-held concepts about the abandonment of seaside settlements due to the so-called “Arab threat” are no longer valid. On the contrary, archaeology proves the continuity of the settlements of eastern Crete, both in Loutres and elsewhere. Moreover, the later use of the bath-houses in the area provides evidence for social changes after the 13th century impacting on both the landscape and its settlements.
The textual descriptions of alterations carried in the two most important
Theotokos? churches in Constantinople, the Blachernae and the Theotokos in
Chalkoprateia, focus on the addition of lateral ...apses to the buildings. This
type is very likely the source of influence and also the basis for the
transference of the concept of lateral apses in Athonite katholika.
Nacin na koji je tzv. "atonski" tip crkve definisan u savremenoj nauci
pricinjavao je odredjene tesko ce u istrazivanju njegovog porekla. U ovom
tekstu autor zastupa glediste po kome je pomenuti tip gradjevine najbolje
posmatrati kao crkvu upisanog krsta uvecanu dvema bocnim apsidama. Vise
istoriografskih izvora opisuje graditeljske izmene koje su pretrpela dva
najvaznija svetilista Bogorodice u Carigradu, Vlahernsko i Halkopratijsko. U
vreme cara Justina III glavna bazilika u Vlahernama bila je uvecana dvema
bocnim apsidama. O tome govori nekoliko izvora. Na slican nacin je i u
Halkopratijskom kompleksu, u doba cara Vasilija I, jedna gradjevina
(katolikon ili paraklis Hagia Soros) bila uvecana dvema bocnim apsidama.
Cini se da su te bocne apside predstavljale najupadljiviju arhitektonsku
osobenost dve najvaznije carigradske crkve Bogorodice. Cesto pominjane u
usmenoj i pisanoj tradiciji, upravo su one mogle posluziti kao izvor
inspiracije za ukljucenje bocnih apsida (choroi) u najstarije atonske
katolikone, Veliku Lavru, Vatoped ili Iviron, a takodje i za gradnju dva bocna
aneksa (takodje shoroi?) uz crkvu Protatona. Rec je o osobenom nacinu
stvaranja i prenosenja arhitektonskih obrazaca unutar Vizantije.

Cet ouvrage est consacré aux villes méditerranéennes à l’époque médiévale, de Cordoue jusqu’à Famagouste en passant par Pechina, Aix, Marseille, Avignon, Naples, Palerme, Thessalonique, ...Constantinople et Fustat. Ces villes, qui ont le plus souvent hérité d’un long passé enraciné dans l’Antiquité, sont parfois des créations de l’époque médiévale. Certaines ont bénéficié de leur situation au croisement des routes maritimes, d’autres se sont hissées au rang de capitale royale ou impériale, d’autres encore se sont épanouies grâce à l’afflux de populations réfugiées, d’autres, enfin, ont eu un rayonnement religieux inégalé - à moins qu’elles aient connu l’ensemble de ces faveurs. Multiples facettes d’un monde méditerranéen urbain souvent troublé mais qui présente des caractères communs au-delà de la diversité : capitales où résident les souverains ; villes qui ébauchent un système communal ou jouissent d’une organisation municipale développée ; cités où le passé gréco-romain s’estompe dans le tracé urbain au fil des constructions médiévales et du développement de l’urbanisation ; ports où les marchands s’affairent, où des populations d’origines diverses se croisent, où l’industrie et la construction se développent au rythme des échanges ; villes en effervescence culturelle et artistique alimentée par le mouvement continu des voyageurs, ambassadeurs et missionnaires entre l’Orient et l’Occident ; villes en devenir ou en passe d’être frappées par les armes ; villes dynamiques parfois secouées par des crises violentes dues à un essor trop rapide, à l’inégalité sociale, l’angoisse des populations à l’aube de l’un des plus grands bouleversements géopolitiques de l’histoire méditerranéenne… Telles sont les villes que nous font découvrir les vingt-deux contributions de cet ouvrage.
La donation d’un domaine incluant une résidence noble à un couvent de femmes par Anne de Savoie et plus tard à un monastère par Manuel II, constitue le point de départ d’un réexamen de certaines ...caractéristiques de la topographie urbaine de Thessalonique au xive siècle. Les spécificités de l’architecture et de l’histoire de l’église connue sous le nom du « Prophète Élie » sont liées aux évènements relatifs à la fin de la controverse hésychaste et à la suprématie définitive de la maison des Paléologues sur les Cantacuzènes. L’église est identifiée au katholikon des Saints-Anargyres et sa construction attribuée à Anne. La donation par Anne au couvent des Saints-Anargyres incluait la noble résidence de Guy de Lusignan, où elle résida probablement en tant que nonne Anastasie. Cette propriété convoitée devint un sujet de conflit et son histoire révèle à quel point le paysage urbain de Thessalonique reflète les relations complexes d’une société multiethnique et très diversifiée. Il se peut cependant qu’il ne soit que l’un des nombreux palais paléologues de la ville.

The project aims to facilitate the research for cervical precancer and cancer through a system that virtually unifies multiple patient record repositories, physically located in different medical centers/hospitals, thus, increasing flexibility by allowing the formation of study groups "on demand" and by recycling patient records in new studies. To this end, ASSIST uses semantic technologies to translate all medical entities (such as patient examination results, history, habits, genetic profile) and represent them in a common form, encoded in the ASSIST Cervical Cancer Ontology. The current paper presents the knowledge elicitation approach followed, towards the definition and representation of the disease's medical concepts and rules that constitute the basis for the ASSIST Cervical Cancer Ontology. The proposed approach constitutes a paradigm for semantic integration of heterogeneous clinical data that may be applicable to other biomedical application domains.
