Examples

“It now becomes necessary to inquire how, in an international quasi-order which purports to rule⟳ out the threat or use⟳ of force⟳ otherwise than in self-defence, the need⟳ for a status mixtus can still arise⟳.”

“Such noncomprehensive uses of force⟳, commonly denominated "measures short of war," are incompatible, Dr. Schwarzenberger urged, with the states of both peace and war and have⟳ "created rules pertaining neither to those of peace or war, but constituting a status mixtus."”

“This concept is distinguished from pacific occupation (occupatio pacifica), which is based on the consent of the territorial State, and from the occupation of foreign territory in a status mixtus.”

“But whether explicitly or by implication, the methodist distinction between status laxus, status strictus, and status mixtus is always present⟳.”

“Methodism, in contrast to these sects, was based on a strict division of causes of symptoms into three conditions of the body: status laxus, in which the body or affected part is lax and wet⟳, leading for example to a flux; status strictus, a constricted and dry state, of which amenorrhea was seen as a case in point⟳; and status mixtus, a combination in which some parts of the body are constricted and others lax.”

“Galen, for the status mixtus gives the example of an inflammation of the eye with discharge: the inflammation itself is a case of constriction whereas the discharge indicates relaxation.”
