Darbe apibendrinami duomenys apie cezio-137 kaupimąsi dirvoje ir jo perėjimą į augalus bei gyvulio organizmą. Pateikti šio izoztopo pasiskirstymo ir kaupimosi įvairiuose gyvulių organuose bei audiniuose dėsniai, apžvelgti įvairūs metodai, mažinantys cezio-137 kaupimąsi ir greitinantys jo pasišalinimą iš gyvulių organizmo bei gyvulininkystės produktų. Tirtas pienas, mėsa, bulvės, grūdai ir geriamasis vanduo iš Šakių rajono. Buvo nustatomas 137Cs savitasis aktyvumas ir bendrieji alfa ir beta aktyvumai. Radiometriniai tyrimai atlikti radiacinės saugos centre. / We have summarized the data concerning accumulation of 137Cs in soil and the transition of the radionuclides to plants and animals. The presented survey gives some information about the distribution and accumuliation of 137Cs in different organs and tissues of animals about the possible methods of reducing the amount of radionuclides in the organism of animals and in products of animal origin. There was tested milk, meat, potatoes, grain and drinking water from Šakiai region. There was instituted the specific activity of 137Cs and general alpha and beta activities. The radiometric tests were performed in the Radiation Protection Centre.

The aim of this study was to investigate drying characteristics (temperature gradient, rate of drying and temperature change, drying time, diffusivity values, shrinkage) of isotropic and anisotropic foods by observing the changes in temperatures at four different locations and moisture contents and to build an appropriate model for simulation of temperature and moisture distribution using finite element method. The lean meat samples (anisotropic) with three fiber configurations (v / flow normal to fiber, drying along the fiber, h1 / flow normal to fiber, h2 / flow along to fiber) and minced meat (isotropic) were dried at two different temperatures (48

Šio darbo tikslas – atlikti medžiagų liekanų paplitimo gyvūnų ir gyvūninių maisto produktų mėginiuose analizę 2009–2012 m. Lietuvoje. Tyrimų rezultatai palyginti ir apibendrinti aprašomosios epidemiologinės analizės tyrimo metodu, atliekant statistinius skaičiavimus bei nustatant matuojamo dydžio aritmetinio vidurkio pasikliautiną intervalą, siekiant nustatyti aritmetinio vidurkio reikšmingumo lygmenį. 2009–2012 m. Lietuvoje buvo vykdomi galvijų, kiaulių, avių ir ožkų, arklių, triušių, pieno, tvenkinių žuvų ir medaus mėginių tyrimo dažnumo reikalavimai. Atskirais atvejais auginamų ūkiuose laukinių gyvūnų, laukinių gyvūnų, paukščių ir kiaušinių mėginių tyrimo dažnumas neatitiko teisės aktų reikalavimų. 2009 m. 0,39 proc., 2010 m. 0,28 proc., 2011 m. 0,55 proc. ir 2012 m. 0,39 proc. gyvūnų mėginių neatitiko teisės aktų reikalavimų. 2009 m. 0,43 proc., 2010 m. 0,3 proc., 2011 m. 0,17 proc. ir 2012 m. 0,13 proc. gyvūninių maisto produktų mėginių neatitiko teisės aktų reikalavimų. / Aim of this work was to analyse residue prevalence in samples of live animals and animal origin products in 2009–2012 in Lithuania. Results were compared and summarized by epidemiological description method using statistical calculations and determining of confidence interval of an arithmetical mean value of the estimate in order to show reliability of estimates. In 2009–2012 Lithuania fulfilled the requirements for sampling frequency of bovines, pigs, ovine and goats, horses, rabbits, milk, inland fish and honey. Requirements for sampling frequency of farmed game animals, wild game animals, poultry and eggs in some instanced were not fulfilled. 0.39 % in 2009, 0.28 % in 2010, 0.55 % in 2011 and 0.39 % animal samples did not conform to legal requirements. 0.43 % in 2009, 0.3 % in 2010, 0.17 % in 2011 and 0.13 in 2012 animal origin food samples did not comply with legal requirements.

This work is about a Common agricultural policy of the European Union. It refers about it's history, reforms, enlargement and it's present. This work concerns influence of the joining EU by the Czech republic. It defines transformation of agricultural sector of the Czech republic in 90s. At the end of this work, I write about an influence of the CAP of EU on international trade of Czech republic with animal products and I describe one company from this sector.

Within the area of animal ethics, there has been ongoing discussion around whether people in developed countries are justified in consuming animal based products or not, some argue that we are, and some argue that we aren't. In this paper I present a kind of middle-way position in response to the ongoing discussion, in which I argue that a decent chunk of a population in developed countries are justified in consuming certain animal products, but only so far as the exclusion of these animal based products would cause harm to the boycotter. Many of the arguments that are raised in order to defend the consumption of animal products, often rely on controversial assumptions or stances in order to make their claim. In this paper I attempt to distance myself from these types of arguments, by giving an argument that only relies on already commonly held moral beliefs that we all already take to be true, and the argument I make is therefore just an extension of a moral belief that we already have, which is that it is morally justifiable to consume animal products in order to avoid a personal harm. The claim very simply put is the following: We already believe that a person is morally justified to consume animal products from animals that yield relatively low amounts of food in order to survive, if we take this to be true, then we should also believe that a person is morally justified to consume animal products from animals that have a much greater yield of food, but where the food is used not to survive, but to avoid personal harms that stem from boycotting animal products. To give a more precise description on why the former (to survive) entails the latter (to avoid harms from boycotting) is because firstly, the amount of harm that's being done to the animal to avoid both cases is the same, and secondly, the level of harm that's being prevented by consuming the products that come from that animal are also the same. I conclude therefore, that if we want to remain morally consistent, we should accept the latter case to also be justified, which is that we are justified in consuming animal products in order to reduce a personal harm, but only so far as those harms would be prevalent if the person where to exclude animal based products from their diet.

Produktionen av animalier har en stor negativ inverkan på miljön, ändå har konsumtionen av kött fortsatt att öka. Ett urval av karnister, vegetarianer och veganer i Malmö, Sverige, och Berlin, Tyskland, studerades via semi-strukturerade intervjuer och med Grounded Theory som en metodologisk bas för datainsamling, analys och tolkning. Den geografiska jämförelsen motiverades av vissa uppfattade skillnader och likheter mellan städerna och som ansågs kunna bidra till ett bredare perspektiv i studien. Genom att tillämpa olika teorier strävade vi i denna studie efter att identifiera vilka faktorer som påverkar individens vilja och förmåga att minska den egna konsumtionen av animaliska produkter. Det konstaterades att normer, värderingar, kunskap, ekonomiska incitament, tillgänglighet och etiska aspekter var de mest inflytelserika faktorerna. / The production of animal products has a major negative impact on the environment. Still,the consumption of meat has been shown to continually increase. A selection of carnists,vegetarians and vegans in Malmö, Sweden, and Berlin, Germany, were studied with semistructured interviews and Grounded Theory was used as a methodological base for data collection, analysis and interpretation. The geographical comparison was motivated by some perceived differences and similarities, as it was believed to contribute to a broader perspective. By applying different theories, we aimed in this study to identify which factors that influence the willingness and ability of the individual to reduce the own consumption of animal products. It was found that norms, values, knowledge, economic incentives, availability and ethical aspects were the most influential factors.
