The curiosity of the author of this work about Lithuanian poetry growing into prose was not accidental: the synthesis of various genres in contemporary literature becoming more vital, poet’s escaping into prose essays. The transformation of traditional poetic – forces to contemplate into which direction goes our poetry. So the basic goal of this work – try to reveal, to describe the direction of transformation of Lithuanian’s contemporary poetry. Lithuanian poetry today experience different influences especially: from information and technology society, from television, from mass media, from prose and essayistic creations, from another types and forms of art. Recently critics of Lithuanian literature more frequent talks about influence from prose into poetry, its transformation into prose, into writing more down on earth. For that reason the author of this work had decided to look more precise into this growing tendency. Had to admit, that this very strong reveals itself in a young poets creations of the last decade; they tray to transform the traditional poetry of poems, to escape from abstract talking and the labyrinth of mixture of senses, to contemplate today’s experiences, visualizations, things, objects, stories ect. For a long time the poetry was comprehended like the priority, more exceptional organization of article language. But when critics and literature of realism provided such definitions as “truth”, “simplicity”, exactly then them are becoming the mane... [to full text]

Magistro darbe nagrinėjamas dainų švenčių ugdomasis vaidmuo. Pedagoginė problema aktuali tuo, kad visais Lietuvos gyvavimo tarpsniais Dainų šventės buvo kultūrinis vyksmas, skatinantis moderniosios ir archajiškos kultūros bendravimą ir sintez��, atspindintis siekius formuoti visuomenės narių pasaulėjautą, kelti jų muzikinį bei kultūrinį lygį. Deja, Lietuvai dar priklausant Tarybų Sąjungai, Dainų šventėse pradėjo skambėti „lengvesnio” žanro muzika, ėmė nykti muzikinis ir tautinis savitumas, jos ėmė virsti eiliniu masiniu muzikiniu koncertu. Repertuaras kokybine prasme sumenko, nes kompozicijos ėmė prarasti individualumą, joms kurti pasitelkiamos kompozicinės technikos, būdingos pop kultūrai, kuri individualybes niveliuoja. Nors Dainų šventėse skambančiuose kūriniuose pasitaiko sudėtingų ritminių, melodinių figūrų, dainoms kurti parenkami kokybiški, meniški literatūriniai tekstai, tačiau visapusiškas muzikinis ugdymas daugumoje atvejų nevyksta. Tyrimo objektas – Lietuvos dainų švenčių choro repertuaras, jo poveikis dainininkų muzikos suvokimui, jų meninės kultūros ugdymui. Tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti kaip dainų švenčių repertuaras veikia dainininkų muzikinį ugdymąsi. Darbe analizuojamas Dainų švenčių repertuaras, jo poveikis dainininkų tolesniam muzikiniam tobulėjimui ir ugdymuisi, aiškinamasi kaip, parenkant ir kuriant kūrinius dainų šventėms, pasiekti aukštesnį dainininkų muzikinio ugdymosi lygį. Siekiant atskleisti dainų švenčių repertuaro poveikį dainininkams buvo... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / This master thesis analyzes the educational role of Song festivals. The pedagogical problem is relevant, since during all times in Lithuania, Song festivals have been a cultural process, encouraging communication and synthesis of both: modern and archaic culture, reflecting the aim to form the outlook and world perception of society members, as well as to raise their cultural and musical level. Unfortunately, already when Lithuania was under the rule of the Soviet Union, the music of a “lighter” genre started being played at Song festivals: the national musical distinction began to vanish and Song festivals themselves started transforming into an ordinary mass musical concert. The quality of Song festivals’ repertoire has declined, due to the loss of individuality in compositions: they started being created by using compositional techniques, characteristic to pop culture, which actually cause the loss of individualities. Although Song festivals is still the place, where the compositions with complex melodies and rhythmical figures are being performed, and high quality artistic literary texts are chosen for creating songs, in the majority of cases educational approach is missing. The object of research is the choir repertoire in Lithuanian Song festivals, its impact on the singers’ musical perception and education of their artistic culture. The goal of the research is to ascertain the influence of Song festivals’ repertoire on the musical education of singers. The thesis... [to full text]

This PhD thesis examines a phenomenon known as Monosyllabic Circumflexion (MC, hereafter) from a historical linguistics / phonological point of view. MC denotes a Lithuanian or Balto-Slavic phenomenon according to which long vowels and diphthongs in monosyllabic words exhibit a circumflex tone instead of the expected acute tone.  It is observed in the following four categories: I. 3rd person future forms of monosyllabic stems (e.g., šõks ― šókti `to jump;' vy͂s ― výti `to drive') II. reflexes of PIE root nouns (e.g., Latv. gùovs `cow;' Lith. šuõ `dog') III. prepositions/adverbs (e.g., nuõ `from' ~  nùotaka `bride;' vė͂l `again' ~ Latv. vêl `still, yet,' tė͂ (permissive particle) < *teh1) IV. pronominal forms (e.g., tuõ ~ gerúoju `the good (m.~sg.~instr.),' tie͂ ~ tíeji `id. (pl.nom)'). The unexpected circumflex tone in these categories is problematic and important for the solution of a Balto-Slavic accentological question on the etymological background of acute and non-acute tones. The aim of this thesis is to partially contribute to the solution of this problem by establishing the existence of MC and its relative chronology. The first category, the 3rd person future forms, provides a substantial number of examples and counterexamples. The examination of them has revealed the fact that the counterexamples constitute a morpho-semantic group of verbs whose future stems underwent considerable morphological changes in the prehistory, hence not exhibiting MC. This shows that the regular tonal reflex of the 3rd person future forms of monosyllabic acute stem must be circumflex, allowing for the establishment of MC as a regular phonological process, although this category does not provide much information on the relative chronology of MC. The second category, the reflexes of Proto-Indo-European root nouns, gives an important clue as to where MC is located in the relative chronology of Balto-Slavic sound changes. Next, there is a discussion of whether the results of the examinations of the first two categories can be maintained for the data of the third and fourth categories, which show an irregular distribution of the acute and circumflex tones in monosyllabic forms. It is shown that various morphological factors, such as homonymic clashes within the paradigms for pronouns, can explain why some monosyllabic forms have acute tone. Also, the linguistic feature of West Aukštaitian dialects of Lithuanian that tend to preserve the results of MC is revealed. These dialects are known to have played an important role in the formation of standard Lithuanian. In this way, the monosyllabic forms with unexpected circumflex tone in Lithuanian are explained as a combination of MC in the Proto-Balto-Slavic time and the dialectal tendency of West Aukštaitian dialects of Lithuanian.

Lithuania and Italy relationships in 1922– 1940 years SUMMARY Nazi movement gained in popularity not only in Italy, but it became popular in other countries. Were Nazi cultural ideas interesting and near to Lithuania? For the attainment of answering to this question, I reached to find out and evaluate Nazi Italy and Lithuanian cultural life spread in Lithuanian and Italian societies. The subject of my work – Italian and Lithuanian cultural life. Work purpose – reach to find out and evaluate Nazi Italy and Lithuanian cultural propaganda spread in Lithuanian and Italian societies. I referred sparse historiography material, which established Italian cultural life features during writing this work. Furthermore I used two source groups. 1) Archival, manuscript material; 2) periodicals of the days. I put in to work descriptive, material analyzes-synthesis, comparative and statistics method, which let systematize and summing-up data analysis. Research and material analysis let make these conclusions: 1. Lithuanian international recognition determined relations with Italy. Italy and Lithuania had not only political but also miscellaneous cultural, artistic relations. They were very active in the thirties. 2. Interest in not only political but also cultural Lithuanian problems determined that in third-fourth decade of XX century Italian books were printed about Lithuanian art, memoirs about Balts language, Lithuanian geography, and also comprehensive information about Lithuania in...

To analyze fluctuation of indexes of consist and quality of milk of black and white and red-spotted cows during different months and seasons of lactation. The work was performed in Lithuanian Academy of Veterinary, department of stockbreeding as well as public enterprise Pieno Tyrimai during Master studies 2005-2007. During the analysis, data of controlled cows’ productivity was analyzed according to accounting information of cattle breeding. During the analysis we evaluated 98 Lithuanian black and white cows, Lithuanian red-spotted cows, as well as Ayrshire cows. Milk yield of Lithuanian black and white cows was 1160 kg of milk more than Ayrshire and 252 kg of milk more than Lithuanian red-spotted. Average milk yield of Ayrshire cows was 92 kg more than Lithuanian red-spotted. There was 0.53–0.83% of fat in milk of Lithuanian black and white cows, protein was 0.24–0.25% less than in Ayrshire or Lithuanian red-spotted. Lithuanian black and white cows had 1.0–15.0 kg of milk fat (or 0.3 –4.8%), milk protein – 23.0–25.0 kg (or 11.2–9.4%) more than in Ayrshire or Lithuanian red-spotted. During all periods of lactation most milk fat were found in milk of Ayrshire cows (5.05%), least in Lithuanian black and white cows (4.21%). Milk fat of Lithuanian black and white and Lithuanian red-spotted was less in comparison with Ayrshire cows. During all months of lactation most amount of protein was found in Lithuanian red-spotted and Ayrshire (3.69-3.68%), and least – in Lithuanian black... [to full text]
