Summary Speaking about peculiarities of Cechovas creation in scientific literature, the two main features should be pointed out, i.e, laconic depiction and writer’s ability to present three periods of a character life in a short story. In most of his works the action is short, but it reveals a long period of the hero’s life. Taking this feature into consideration we have the aim to analyze five stories and to prove that short stories may contain the past, present and future prospects are presented. At the same time the content highlights plenty of hero’s life moments, which are of great importance. The attention was paid on the open endings. Cechovas manages to end his stories in a particular way, that for the reader the future of all the heroes in the story is clear.

Pastaraisiais metais augant kelių transporto sektoriui didėja konkurencija tarp vežėjų. Siekdami užimti kuo didesnę rinkos dalį bei gauti kuo daugiau pelno, dažnai vežėjai siekia sutrumpinti pervežimų laiką pažeisdami nustatytas vairuotojų darbo ir poilsio laiko reguliavimo taisykles. Siekiant užtikrinti sąžiningą konkurenciją, o taip pat užtikrinti mobilių darbuotojų, kurie dirba ypatingomis darbo sąlygomis, sveikatą bei pagerinti eismo saugumą keliuose, būtina specialus darbo ir poilsio laiko reguliavimas, nustatytas Europos Sąjungos bei tarptautiniuose teisės aktuose. Lietuva įstojusi į Europos Sąjungą įsipareigojo perkelti į nacionalinę teisę bendrus reikalavimus, susijusius su darbo ir poilsio laiku, tačiau perkeliant teisės aktus kyla problemų, apie kurias mažai diskutuojama. Todėl magistro baigiamojo darbo tikslas yra išnagrinėti kelių transporto darbuotojų darbo ir poilsio laiko reguliavimo ypatumus, atskleisti ir išanalizuoti šių darbuotojų darbo ir poilsio laiko reguliavimo ypatumų problemas ir pateikti pasiūlymus dėl reguliavimo tobulinimo. Remiantis tarptautiniais, Europos Bendrijos ir nacionaliniais teisės aktais, darbe analizuojama prielaidos diferencijuotam kelių transporto darbuotojų darbo reguliavimui bei darbo ir poilsio ypatingo reguliavimo tikslai, nagrinėjama specialūs pagrindiniai tarptautiniai, Europos Bendrijos bei nacionaliniai teisės aktai, reguliuojantys kelių transporto darbuotojų darbą, lyginama šiuo metu galiojantys ir jais pakeisti teisės aktai...

With the aim to cut as large piece of market and to make as big profit as it is possible carriers often strive for shortening transportation period by violating the set rules for driver‘s work and rest time. In order to ensure fair competition and health of mobile employees, which work in particular conditions, as well as to improve road traffic safety, specific work and rest time control, in particular the one set out by legal acts of the European Union and international laws, is in urgent need. Having entered the European Union Lithuania has like-for-like undertaken to transfer general requirements related to work and rest time to its national law, however, such transfer causes considerable amount of problems, which have not been discussed widely and in greater detail. Therefore, the aim of this MA thesis is to analyze work and rest time control peculiarities of road traffic sector employees, to reveal and discuss problems related to such control and make offers on its improvement. Following international and national laws and legal acts of the European Union, this paper analyzes preconditions for differential control of the work of people employed in road transport sector and purpose of specific work and rest time control, discusses the main specific international and national laws and legal acts of the European Community regulating work of road transport sector...

Galima teigti, jog ilgą laiką filosofija kino atžvilgiu buvo nusiteikusi priešiškai. Filosofai bei menininkai abejojo kino priklausomybe meno sričiai, nes kinas, anot jų, neturi savitos ir unikalios kalbos, o režisieriai piktinosi, jog filosofai, interpretuodami tam tikrus filmus, jiems primeta savas teorijas, taip atimdami iš kinematografinio meno jo unikalumą. Šio darbo tikslas – pažvelgti į kinematografinį meną iš filosofinės perspektyvos, o, tiksliau, kokias prielaidas interpretuojant kiną gali pasiūlyti filosofija. Aptariant tokius konceptus kaip – laikas, trukmė, kinematografinis mechanizmas, vaizdas, vaizdinys-judėjimas, vaizdinys-laikas, momentinės nuotraukos, montažas ir kt. – nuo filosofinės disciplinos pereinama prie kinematografinio meno, bei bandoma įrodyti, jog kinas, bent jau kartais, turi nemažai bendro su filosfinėmis teorijomis. Kino kuriami vaizdiniai gali tapti iliustracijomis filosofijos kuriamų konceptų. / We can say, that for a very long time, philosophy was bad-minded in regard to cinema. Philosophers and artists had doubts about cinema‘s subordination to art, because, in their opinion, cinema doesn‘t have his own, unique language, and film directors were in anger, because philosophers, in their interpretations of certain films, tried to enforce their own theories to cinema, by taking away its unique being. The aim of this work - to look into cinematic art from philosophical perspective, more precise, what assumptions of cinema interpretation can offer philosophy. Discussing concepts like – time, duration, cinematic mechanism, image, image-movement, image-time, snapshot, montage – we move from philosophical discipline to cinematic art, by trying to prove, that cinema has something common with philosophical theories. Images composed by cinema, can become illustrations of philosophical concepts.

This Master Thesis involves the analysis and evaluation of military students psychomotor processes. This was carried out using the analyzer DPA – 1. This device is used for measuring dynamic parameters of independent or coordinated arm and leg movements by reacting to the target with a variety of geometric, colour or time parameters appearing on the screen. The DPA – 1 device enables scientists to analyse psychomotor reaction and dynamic and kinematical characteristics. The goal of the research was to identify the peculiarities of psychomotor reaction performing movements with the right and left arms. The participants of the research were 40 students (n=40) of the Lithuanian Military academy. Their age was 22.03 ± 0.54 years, body mass – 76.04 ± 9.13 kg, height – 180.29 ± 7.99 cm. Their right arm was dominant. To achieve this goal the following tasks had to be completed: 1. To determine the differences in psychomotor reaction by performing the moves with the dominant and non-dominant arms. 2. To determine the difference between movement speed and accuracy by performing the movement with the right and the left arms. 3. To determine the connection between the parameters of psychomotor reaction of the right and the left arms. The hypothesis: We think that movements performed with the dominant arm have better psychomotor qualities. The research methods: 1. Analysis of the scientific literature resources 2. Testing 3.

Shortsea shipping promotion and optimization issues have been repeatedly emphasized by the EU Commission and long-term researchers of the segment. The problem we are facing today is, that many commercial players still wrongly approach shortsea shipping with scepticism, as a bit outdated mode of transport; besides there are numerous administrative obstacles and factors involved that impede ultimate integration of shortsea shipping into the existing intermodal and multimodal transport chains. Inadequate infrastructures of port terminals, lack of logistics elements, as well as protectionism related barriers existing in the EU member states, all these urge the necessity to investigate the feasibility and potential of shortsea shipping across the EU.

Tyrimai tiriant azoto normų ir sėjos laiko įtaką žieminiams rapsams atlikti Lietuvos žemdirbystės instituto Bandymo skyriuje 2005 - 2006 metais. Azoto trąšų normų, skirtingo sėjos laiko pasėliuose įtaka žieminiams rapsams buvo nustatoma įvertinant azoto, fosforo ir kalio koncentraciją augaluose vegetacijos metu. Tyrimais nustatyta, kad azoto, fosforo ir kalio koncentracija žieminiuose rapsuose kito priklausomai nuo augalų išsivystymo laipsnio, sėjos laiko bei azoto trąšų normų. Žieminiams rapsams augant maisto medžiagų koncentracija juose tolygiai mažėjo. Didžiausios tiek azoto, tiek kalio koncentracijos žieminiuose rapsuose vegetacijos metu nustatytos augaluose sėtuose anksčiausiai, o fosforo - viduriniuoju terminu. Matyti, kad didinant azoto normas, gerėjo ir rezultatai. Žieminių rapsų sėklų derlius statistiškai patikimai didėjo didinant azoto normą iki 180 kg ha-1. / The experiments in researching nitrogen rate and the sowing time influence on winter rape were carried out in 2005 - 2006 at the Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture. The rates of nitrogen on winter rape of different sowing time were tested on measuring the nitrogen, the phosphorus, potassium concentration in the plants at different time of growth. It was found that the concentration of the nitrogen, the phosphorus, potassium was changing depending on: • The development of the plants • Sowing time • The rates of nitrogen The concentration oh the food-supplements in the winter rape was declining depending on their growth time. The biggest concentration of the nitrogen and potassium during the term of vegetation was established in the winter rape that have been sown in early term, the phosphorus – in midterm. It was tested that results were getting better as the rates of the nitrogen were increased. The winter rape seed yield was growing till 180 kg ha-1.
