Depopulation in the Baltic states
2011
Šiame straispnyje nagrinėjami pagrindiniai Baltijos šalyse vykstančių demografinių procesų bruožai. Atkūrus nepriklausomybę Estijoje, Latvijoje ir Lietuvoje išryškėjo gyventojų skaičiaus mažėjimo tendencija, kurią nulėmė neigiama natūrali gyventojų kaita ir neigiama neto tarptautinė migracija (išvykusiųjų skaičius viršija atvykusiųjų skaičių). Kartų kaitos neužtikrinantis gimstamumo lygis, santykinai aukštas mirtingumo lygis (ypač vyrų), intensyvi emigracija ir gyventojų senėjimas stebimi visose Baltijos šalyse. Šios nepalankios tendencijos ypač pasireiškė šalims įstojus į Europos Sąjungą 2004 m. Nuo 1990 m. Latvija ir Lietuva pasižymi vienais iš didžiausių depopuliacijos tempų Europoje. De…
Classification of prefix aiz- ‘away’ meanings: from Jānis Endzelīns approach to nowadays
2019
The polysemic nature of prefixes in Latvian causes problems in prefix classification. Several authors in different time periods have proposed diverse prefix classification systems. In this research, three different classification systems of prefix aiz- ‘away’ are compared – the classification system created by Endzelīns (1971) in 1907, the classification system created by Soida in 1970 (printed in 2009), and the classification system proposed by Vulāne (2015). To ascertain which meanings are used nowadays the examples are drawn from the corpus. There are 11 prefixes in the Latvian language used in word-formation. In this research, prefix aiz- is chosen as it has a rich meaning system althou…
Elections, Referendums and Parties
2015
By the end of 2014, the Baltic states had held a total of 19 parliamentary, 19 municipal and 3 cycles of European Parliament elections. Lithuania, which elects its president via a national popular vote, had additionally held six presidential polls. Another 23 referendums have been held since August 1991. The rigidity of the Lithuanian and Latvian electoral and judicial institutions have been tested by the 2004 impeachment of Lithuanian president, Rolandas Paksas, and the subsequent early presidential election, as well as a referendum on the recall of Latvia’s parliament in the summer of 2011 and the following early election. Estonia is recognised as an electoral innovator, being the first s…

Evaluation of proteasomal gene polymorphisms in Lithuanian patients with asthma.
2014
To investigate polymorphisms of proteasomal genes PSMA6 (rs1048990 and rs2277460), PSMC6 (rs2295826 and rs2295827) and PSMA3 (rs2348071) in Lithuanian patients with asthma.One-hundred forty-six asthma patients and 150 control subjects were studied. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) of the three proteasomal genes were analyzed using allele-specific amplification or the cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence method.While certain alleles and genotypes of PSMA6 rs2277460 and rs1048990 and PSMA3 rs2348071 SNP's occurred more frequently in asthma patients than in controls, no statistically significant differences in alleles or genotypes …
Regioninės kultūros samprata rengiant mokytojus Latvijoje, Lietuvoje ir Norvegijoje: lyginamoji atvejo analizė.
2019
Straipsnyje nagrinėjama regionų kultūra, regioninių tradicijų svarba, siekiant šalies kultūrinio tvarumo. Vis dėlto regioninių tradicijų puoselėjimas dažnai laikomas kliūtimi globalizacijai ir daugiakultūriškumui. Kyla klausimas: kaip apsaugoti ir plėtoti regionų kultūrinę įvairovę, kultūros paveldą? Mokytojų rengimui tenka svarbi misija ‒ plėtoti idėjas apie regioninės kultūros svarbą, inicijuoti jos išsaugojimą bei ieškoti jungčių tarp regioninio ir globalaus konteksto. Tyrimu siekiama nustatyti, kokie faktoriai skatina arba trukdo plėtoti būsimųjų mokytojų kompetencijas, kurios leistų sėkmingai ugdyti pradinės mokyklos mokinių regioninės kultūros supratimą.

Abstract Materialism is becoming a global phenomenon and is increasing exponentially. Lithuania, which has survived a long period of occupation, experienced privatization and goods’ famine is attributed to the transition countries.

Thus, the main question of this paper was whether materialistic values could be reconciled with the pro-environmental behavior, which can be considered as one of the main aspects seeking sustainability. According to the Lithuanian representative survey and by applying the approach of structural equation modeling, the results showed that materiali…

Two further parts discuss language(s) policy and literary multilingualism in Lithuania and Latvia. The aim is not to provide a differentiated investigation, but to show similarities and differences as well as tendencies in the language(s) politics of the two states from the 19th century to the present in the mirror of literature and to explain them using case studies. In the fourth, concluding part, literary translation is highlighted as one of the formats for implementing multilingualism outside the text with part…
