Baltų vardyno tyrimo principai Huberto Gurnovičiaus tekstuose Summary Hubert Górnowicz – profesorius, onomastinės mokyklos Gdanske įkūrėjas. Jo susidomėjimų ir darbo sritis plati. Tai ir dialektologija, ir toponimija, ir antroponimija. Kalbininko nuopelnai mokslui nemaži. Jis daug nusipelnė baltų vardyno tyrimui, ypač prūsų vardyno tyrimui. Darbo objektas – H. Gurnovičiaus mokslinė veikla. Šio magistro darbo tikslas – aptarti Gurnovičiaus mokslinę veiklą; pateikti principus bei metodus, kuriais jis vadovavosi; nurodyti jo tyrimų, metodų skirtumus nuo kitų kalbininkų; išanalizuoti jo veikalus bei straipsnius (išrinkti iš Gurnovičiaus veikalų prūsų tikrinius vardus, surasti jų darybos pagrindą, identifikuoti šaknines morfemas, susiejant jas su baltų kalbų (prūsų, lietuvių, latvių ir kai kuriais atvejais su lenkų) apeliatyvais, antroponimais, nustatyti darybines morfemas); panagrinėti, kaip Gurnovičius atstato autentiškas prūsiškų vardų lytis, palyginti jo interpretaciją su kitų prūsų vardyno tyrėjų interpretacijomis. Darbe vartojamos sąvokos bei terminai. Lietuvių kalbotyroje onomastikos specialistų vartojami tiek tarptautiniai terminai, tiek lietuviški jų atitikmenys. Dažniausiai darbe vartojamas terminas yra toponimas arba vietovardis. Juo įvardijamas bet kurios gamtinės ar dirbtinės žemės paviršiaus vietos ar kitokio geografinio objekto tikrinis vardas. Vietovardžių rūšys yra įvairūs gyvenamųjų ir negyvenamųjų vietų vardai, pavyzdžiui, šalių, miestų, kaimų, kalnų, lygumų...

He deserves a lot for his studies of the Baltic proper names index and especially for the Prussian proper names index. The subject of the thesis is the scientific activity of H. Górnowicz. The aim of this Master thesis is to discuss the scientific activity of Górnowicz; to present the principles and methods which he observed by studying the Baltic proper names index, to specify the differences of his research and methods by comparing them to other linguists; to analyze his treatises and articles (to pick out the Prussian proper names from the treatises of Górnowicz, to find the basis of their formation, to identify the root morphemes by relating them to the appellatives, anthroponyms of Eastern Baltic languages (Lithuanian, Latvian and in some cases Polish), to define word-building morphemes; to analyze how Górnowicz restores the authentic genders of Prussian names, to compare his interpretation with the interpretations of other Prussian proper names index researchers. Notions and terms used in the thesis. The specialists of onomastics use both international terms and their Lithuanian equivalents in Lithuanian linguistics. The term used most often in the thesis is a toponym or place-name. The proper name of any natural or artificial earth surface place or another geographical feature is defined by it. The types...

A sediment core from Himmerfjärden estuary, south of Stockholm, was examined to detect records of eutrophication on the site since the opening of the sewage treatment plant Himmerfjärdsverket in 1974. The core was analysed with respect to the diatom record and lithology. Four macrofossil that were found in the sediment were dated using 14C-dating.    This study aims to detect changes in the environment of Himmerfjärden by using the diatom stratigraphy record. The results have been interpreted and discussed regarding natural environmental and climate change and/or anthropogenic impact, and detected changes will be associated with the history of the sampling site. The results show that the lowermost zone started to deposit around 1300-1490 cal yr BP and the homogeneous sediment indicates that the area was not suffering from hypoxia at that time. There is a successive transition towards more distinct lamination further up in the core which show that the environment in Himmerfjärden have changed and become hypoxic. This may have to do with factors such as the opening of heavily trafficked Södertälje Canal, and also the increased nutrient input from Himmerfjärdsverket.    This study could be a part of the process of working towards a “good environmental status” in the Baltic Sea. However, continued and improved work is needed for further and more accurate interpretations.
