A record is a note or summary that is made of something in order to have certain things present when they are needed. The record - from the Latin promptuarĭum ( "pantry" ) - can be a personal record or a publication that collects the main aspects of a matter , allowing quick and easy consultation.
For example: “The Copelsark publishing house presented a new mechanical guide aimed at engineers” , “My uncle has a field and is always attentive to the meteorological record to take care of his plantations” , “I am reading a computer guide that is useful for system programming”. ” .
Historical records
Throughout history there have been several very important records. One of them is the one entitled “Prontuario dei nomi locali dell'Alto Adige” . It was in 1916 that the creation of this document was undertaken by the Royal Italian Geographical Society , which included all the place names that came to be used in the Bolzano area.
It must be said that historians agree in emphasizing that it played a key role in what was Italianization by the fascists. In that aforementioned record it should be noted that the toponyms that appear were obtained either through translations, through geographical derivations or thanks to the use of others that existed previously.
However, there was also no shortage of names of localities and towns that were obtained by using the toponyms of ancient Roman camps or by means of a reduction carried out at a phonetic level.
Nowadays, it is interesting to emphasize that on the Internet you can find pages that become authentic handbooks for certain professions. Thus, for example, you can find everything from websites specialized in the tools or instruments necessary for architects to those that want to serve as guides for experts in the computer field or even the medical field.
The notion in Argentina
In countries like Argentina , the concept is usually associated with the criminal record . In this case, the criminal record compiles a person's criminal record and has an impact on judicial sentences (the record can act as aggravating circumstances).
When we talk about a person's record, therefore, we are referring to their criminal record . If the subject does not have a criminal record, then there is no record of a violation of the law or conviction .
“A criminal with a long record was arrested when he tried to leave the country”, “The suspect's record coincides with the victim's accusation”, “I think people should not continue condemning me because of my record because I have already paid all my sentences with ten years in prison.”, “The judge is analyzing the record to hand down the corresponding sentence” y “I don't understand how the people can elect a mayor with such a record” son algunas expresiones que utilizan la noción de prontuario en referencia a los antecedentes penales.
In the case of Spain , there is the International Judicial Assistance Handbook , which is available both on paper and online. It is a very clear and functional guide that aims to facilitate the work of all professionals in the judicial field in regarding cases that cross borders.
