Mūsų dienomis informacinės sistemos tampa vis sudėtingesnės ir verslo procesams aprašyti seniai nebeužtenka paprastų tekstų ar schemų. Kompiuterizuotų IS reikalavimams aprašyti ir modeliuoti geriausiai tinka specialiai tam skirti modeliai. Modeliavimas tapo būtinas kuriant dideles, sudėtingas ar su kitomis sistemomis sąveikaujančias informacines sistemas, nors daugelis programuotojų siekia minimizuoti modeliavimo pastangas. Modeliuojami ne tik vartotojo poreikiai, dalykinė sritis, programinė įranga, bet ir organizacijos veikla - pastaraisiais metais ši modeliavimo fazė tapo daugelio projektavimo procesų dalimi. Todėl specialūs kompiuterizuoti modeliavimo įrankiai tapo neatskiriama sudėtingų IS kūrimo ir projektavimo dalimi. Modernėjant technologijoms vis labiau orientuojamasi į reikalavimų specifikavimo fazę IS kūrimo projektuose – reikalavimai turi lemiamą reikšmę projektuojant modernias ir sudėtingas informacines sistemas. Todėl vis didėja projektavimo įrankių įtaka IS kūrimo procese, jų pagalba kartais generuojant ir kodą. Taigi, kad tinkamai būtų sukurta ir vystoma nauja sistema, būtina tinkamai apsibrėžti viziją, veiklos modelį ir tiksliai specifikuoti reikalavimus. Šis procesas, bei veiklos modelio transformavimas į vartotojo reikalavimų sistemai modelį aptariamas šiame darbe. / In nowadays information systems are becoming more and more sophisticated and for business process definition it is not enough to use simple schemas and text. For information systems requirements there are created special models. Systems modeling became a must for creating big, sophisticated, difficult systems. User’s requirements, subject matter and specialty domain, software architecture and even organizations activities are being modeled in modern software development companies during systems design process. Special modeling tools are used to create information systems. During last few years software and business developers are focusing more to requirements specification phase. In information systems development projects strict and simply understandable requirements have critical meaning creating big sophisticated information systems. So usage of design and modeling tools is more and more popular. Using such tools sometimes program code is generated to. To develop stable system is crucial to have a vision, make good activity model and specify requirements for future system. This work covers the method of the formation of transformation between activity and use-case models. This transformation is based developing business vision and requirements to future system. The algorithm of transformation described is this work, formally defines the described models elements relations between each other. Solution, based on described algorithm was made on MagicDraw UML tool platform... [to full text]

Sakykime, kad F yra normuota parabolinė tikrinė forma pilnosios modulinės grupės atžvilgiu, L(s, F) yra susieta su L funkcijos sąsūka L(s, F, χ) su Dirichlė charakteriu moduliu q, kai q yra pirminis skaičius. Bakalauro darbe įrodyta ribinė teorema L funkcijų sąsūkų argumentui arg L(s, F, χ). / Let F(z) a holomorfic normalized Hecke eigen cups form of weight κ for the full modular group, L(s, F), s = σ + it, be the L-function attached to the form F. Let L(s, F, χ) denote a twist of L(s, F) with a Dirichlet character χ modulo q, by the Dirichlet series and can be analytically continued to an entire function. It has an Euler product over prime numbers. We obtain the weak dinvergence for probability measures μQ(arg L(s, F, χ) ∈ A), A ∈ B(γ), where γ is the unit circle on the complex plane, as Q → ∞. For the proof, the method of characteristic transforms and the limit measures in limit theorems obtained are defined characteristic transforms.

Tyrime nagrinėjamas postkomunistinis palikimas šalyje ir jo įtaka Skandinaviško socialdemokratinio modelio gerovės valstybės kūrimo politikai. Prieš du dešimtmečius iš Sovietų Sąjungos išsivadavusios valstybės, taip pat ir Lietuva, dabar susiduria su naujais iššūkiais - gebėjimu kurti gerovę savo valstybės piliečiams. Taigi, pagrindinė šiame tyrime iškelta problema - postkomunistinėse valstybėse atsisakius sovietinio socialinio politikos modelio iki šiol nebuvo sukurta ir įdiegta optimali socialinės apsaugos alternatyva, kuri pilnai atitiktų transformacijos metų realijas. Kadangi komunistinės sistemos prisiminimai įtakoja visuomenės tolesnius lūkesčius, tyrimo objektas darbe išskirtas kaip Lietuvos gerovės valstybės politika. Šio magistro darbo tyrimo tikslas – ištirti, kaip postkomunistinės transformacijos ir likęs sovietinis palikimas įtakojo Lietuvos politiką kuriant socialinės gerovės valstybę pateikiant Skandinavijos šalių pavyzdį. Šiam tikslui įgyvendinti buvo iškelti tokie uždaviniai: Aptarti postkomunistinės erdvės bruožus ir transformacijų pradžią valstybės valdžioje; Aprašyti svarbiausius postkomunistinių transformacijų visuomenėje procesus; Pateikti socialinės gerovės valstybės Skandinavijos modelio pagrindinius ypatumus; Ištirti, kaip Lietuvoje po Nepriklausomybės atgavimo buvo kuriama socialinės gerovės sistema; Išanalizuoti, kaip sovietinis palikimas Lietuvoje trukdo kurti socialinės gerovės valstybę taikant Skandinavijos socialdemokratinį modelį. Siekiant... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / This search contains post-communism countries transitions to democracy and heritage that was left after that in society. Now in Lithuania some problems are seen that makes influence to Scandinavian model welfare state building processes. First of all, the main aim of this paper: post-communist countries didn’t found till now the most optimal and advantageous welfare state model. The main reason is that communism system recollection has influence on society expectations in Lithuania welfare state policy. So, the key object of this paper is Lithuania welfare state policy after rapid reforms. Secondly, the main problems are: to reveal post-communism transformations heritage; to give Scandinavia welfare state model as an example; to discuss Lithuania legitimate basis on welfare state policy; to analyze if this model could be applied in post-communist Lithuania. Welfare state model in Scandinavia contains strong labor market, solid economy and generous welfare spending. The results of analyze shows, that welfare state won’t be built in Lithuania unless people will start to care about all society well-being, not only individual and most of the time – material. Statistic data of searches or interviews how people grades well-being shows, that Lithuania is far more lagging behind Scandinavia and Europe average level. So, in order to make welfare state policy successful society needs to get more solidarity, which was impossible in communism. Moreover, Lithuania economy needs to get... [to full text]

Magistro baigiamojo darbo objektas – Lietuvos žiniasklaidoje propaguojamas šeimos modelis ir jo santykis su Valstybinėje šeimos politikos koncepcijoje (toliau tekste – Koncepcija) įtvirtinu šeimos modeliu. Darbo tikslas – nustatyti žiniasklaidos formuojamo požiūrio į šeimą, santuoką, vaikus, santuokines vertybes atitiktį Koncepcijai ir pateikti siūlymus keičiant žiniasklaidos turinį. Darbo uždaviniai – išsiaiškinti šeimos sampratos kaitą ir veiksnius; įvertinti žiniasklaidos įtaką visuomenei, poveikį jos turiniui; atlikus žiniasklaidos turinio analizę, nustatyti dažniausiai minimą šeimos, poros santykių modelį (sudėties prasme) ir vaikų turėjimo faktą ir gautus duomenis palyginti su Valstybinėje šeimos politikos koncepcijoje įtvirtintomis nuostatomis. Išanalizavus mokslinę literatūrą, prieita išvados, kad šeima transformuojasi, santuokos vertė mąžta. Šiuos procesus lemia įvairūs visuomenės vidiniai, struktūriniai, technologiniai ir kultūriniai pokyčiai. Analizuojant teorinę medžiagą apie žiniasklaidos daromą poveikį visuomenei, nustatyta, kad žiniasklaida daro poveikį. Ji gali įtakoti visuomenės ar atskirų individų nuomonių, nuostatų ir elgesio kitimą. Tačiau šis poveikis nėra vienodas. Jis priklauso nuo paties individo, kitų asmenų, aplinkos, socialinės ir ekonominės padėties ir kt. Žiniasklaidos daromas poveikis gali skirtis pagal poveikio paplitimą, pokyčius, laikotarpį ir intenciją siekiant tokio poveikio. Lygiai taip pat gali būti veikiamas ir žiniasklaidos turinys. Jam...

Simultaneously it can be observable that opnion changes to the family, conjugality, intercourse of couple and children. The State and scientists rarely pay attention to the possible action of mass media in the processes of these problems and to the possible problem of discrepancy of content of mass media and objective of the State to strengthen the family and conjugality. Currently the attention to this point is set. The Object of the Research – to analyse the content of mass media of Lithuania. The Purpose of the Research – to identify how Lithuanian mass media correspond to family model defined in the State Family Policy Concept. The Task of the Research – to explore the content of mass media, to discover what model of family, model of intercourse and the fact of having children is often refered in the content of mass media and to compare the data of research with attitude defined in the State Family Policy Concept. The research is accomplished in the method of content analysis. There was 36 numbers of three weekly Lithuanian magazines of leisure “Gyvenimo būdas“, „Stilius“ and „Žmonės“ examined. The results of the Research reveal that the model of family is understable mostly like defined in the State Family Policy Concept, but there the group of people is named differently in the content of...

As urban development in the 20th century has become the issue of global concern, more and more new territories have been occupied due to high intensity of the development. International conferences devoted to the regulatory issues of city development held within the current decade (such as HABITAT II held in Istanbul, 1996, ATHENS’98 – in Athens, 1998, URBAN 21 – in Berlin, 2000, and a conference in Brussels, 2001, etc) emphasized the majority of developmental aspects including the great focus on the necessity to further form urban structures with the priority of internal city development looking for more effective and more universal functional uses of the territories, restoration of the existing downtown areas and preservation of their original character. As other post-soviet countries, Lithuania has been also facing the need to reorganize various spheres including urban development. Urban territories have been dangerously expanded, especially during the soviet period, due to the increased general city building-up areas, mostly expressed by the territorial expansion rather than gradual and consistent development (by the use of internal reserves of the city). After the restoration of Lithuanian independence, privatisation, changed character of housing construction, return of land and real estate to the previous owners and increasing value of land under the free market conditions remarkably modified the nature of urban development in Lithuania, at the same time revealing the...

One of the main problems in neurosurgery is knowledge about human brain. It's very important to see the whole brain with its critical neurostructures in virtual reality. This document is about three dimensional human brain visualization strategies. Review most recently used three dimensional objects building strategies from two dimensional medical MRI images. This task was split into 4 significant problems: image segmentation, point-sets correspondence, image registration and its frequently used transformation functions with image matching measurements. All these problems were addressed reader to show most recently used algorithms with advantages and disadvantages. Atlas types, patterns and maps survey was introduced with widely popular brain model coordinate systems. In order to find a better correspondence between two point sets it was modeled a new robust and accurate Overhauser spline points location optimization algorithm. Instead of deletion outlier points from overloaded point set, this algorithm generates more points in other set at optimized points locations. Determination of an accurate point location and choosing the correct transformation function are the key steps in registration process. Whereas registration is vital task in precise human brain visualization for neurosurgeries at preoperative and intraoperative process.
