CARITATIVE SOCIAL WORK AS INNOVATION FROM ANTIQUITY
Get PDFThe article deals with the profession of Caritative social worker, its legitimate status in Latvia, as well with historical roots of the profession and its methodology. It is based on the Judeo-Christian anthropological paradigm and is reflected in European guidelines for Social work development, stemming from the founders’ of the European Union concept of the Social stand of man and human dignity as spiritual subject.KEY WORDS: caritative social work, innovation, Judeo-Christian anthropological paradigm, social cohesion.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/tbb.v78i1.176
POZITYVUS SOCIALINIS DARBAS: NUO PROBLEMINIO MODELIO LINK ASMENS STIPRYBIŲ UGDYMO
Get PDFThe article analyses theoretical development of positive social work approach via highlighted strengths of client. The professional social work compounds analysis of problematic relationships of individuals, families and communities, seek for social change and orientation towards maintenance of quality of life. Strength – oriented model is essential for its application towards vulnerable groups in pluralistic context of social work methods. It is discussed in the article that despite critics towards strength-oriented model, positive approach is fundamental basis for effective communication. Negative expectations, questions, and problem-based attitude impacts client’s attitude towards self, the same it changes attitude of social network towards the client, and it affects behavior and relationships. In such a case the relationships of social worker and client to be not mentioned by distance, control and different possibilities is hardly expected. This understanding gap will be much more noticeable if social worker empowers his knowledge to name and solve the problem. Therefore, social worker influences passiveness of client. The article discusses that strength-oriented social work model does not mean fulfilling all the dreams and wishes of client as well as any willingness of client is best for this client. The most essential aspects discussed in the article is seen via close collaboration of social worker and client as well as tight both-sided interaction. Positive social work is approached towards analysis of concrete choices of client instead of accentuation of disorder. KEY WORDS: positive social work, strengths perspective
Методика экспедиционных фонографических исследований украинской народной музыки Филарета Колессы
Get PDFUkrainian musical ethnographers were among the first in Europe who used the phonograph to record folk melodies and also developed and applied the methods of their phonological recording. Among the pioneers in this area was a folklorist, composer and one of the founders of Ukrainian ethnomusicology Filaret Kolessa (1871–1947). He pursued his ethnomusicographic practice employing the methodological approach of his predecessor Osyp Rozdolskyi (1872–1945) and also suggested a number of own innovations. Kolessa’s methods of phonographic recording of folk melodies have not lost their validity up till now.Key words: Filaret Kolessa, Ukrainian musical folklore, methods of phonographic recording of folk melodies, history of musical ethnography.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/td.v13i0.170
EARLY NEOLITHIC POTTERY FROM WESTERN BELARUS
Get PDFThe paper discusses Early Neolithic pottery of Dubičiai type from western Belarus. Its most distinctive features include organic temper in the clay mass, a belt of deep round pits under the rim, strokes made by a round stick (‘hooves’), and thin slanting grooved lines or slanting decoration with such lines. The hypotheses on the origins of Dubičiai-type pottery are also discussed. According to many scholars, the area of occurrence of Dubičiai-type pottery includes the Belarusian part of the River Nioman (except for the basin of the River Vilija), the left bank of the Upper Prypiac basin, southern Lithuania, part of northeast Poland, and the northern part of Volhynia. At the same time, D.Y. Telegin, O.M. Titova and G.V. Okhrimenko distinguish Volhynian culture in the region of the same name. It has many similar traits with Prypiac-Nioman culture. The scale of differences between Early Neolithic pottery from western Palessie and Volhynia and Dubičiai-type pottery from the region of the River Nemunas allows us to consider Volhynian culture not as a separate culture, but as a local variant of Prypiac-Nioman culture. Sokołówek-type pottery has been discovered at sites in Podlasie and in the Belarusian part of the River Buh region. It is similar to Dubičiai-type pottery in morphology and ornamentation, but has less organic temper in the clay mass. It is most probably the result of the local development of Early Neolithic traditions in the western part of the Prypiac-Nioman culture area.Key words: Prypiac-Nioman culture, Dubičiai type, Sokołówek type, western Belarus, Early Neolithic pottery, ‘forest Neolithic’, comb-stroke pottery.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ab.v25i0.183

Darbuotojų nuomone pagrįstas etiško vadovavimo įvertinimas (lyties ir amžiaus požiūriu)
Get PDFNuolatiniai pokyčiai valstybėje neišvengiamai paveikia ir vadovavimą organizacijoms. Straipsnyje aptariami etiško vadovavimo stiliai organizacijoje. Remiantis mokslinės literatūros šaltiniais, pateikiamos ir apibūdinamos etiško vadovavimo sampratos. Nustatyta, kad didžiąją dalį darbuotojų labiau tenkina vadovo etiška elgsena, nei netenkina. Vertinant vadovavimo etiškumą, kai kuriems bruožams vertinti svarbus buvo respondentų lyties požymis. Daromos prielaidos, kad jaunesnio amžiaus moterys reikliau vertina vadovo etišką elgseną, tuo tarpu vyresni darbuotojai šiuo klausimu geranoriškesni. Taigi ne darbuotojų lytis ir amžius, o vadovo elgsenos etiškumas lemia vadovavimo etiškumo vertinimą.PAGRINDINIAI ŽODŽIAI: etiškas vadovavimas, elgsena, bruožai.JEL KLASIFIKACIJA: M10, M12.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/rfds.v23i1.168

Selected find spots along the Swedish coast of the Baltic Sea are presented, in order to illustrate different ways in which hunter-gatherer societies related to the coast during the Mesolithic. Transformations of the landscape were mainly due to isostatic
No full textOrphaned osseous tools are very often perceived as having a high aesthetic value, but are usually under-examined. This article illustrates the research potential of these artefacts, with a case study of Mesolithic stray finds from Lithuania. Four bone points from the River Šventoji, Vaikantonys, Obšrūtai and Kamšai were subjected to AMS dating, tandem mass spectrometry for animal species identification, and technological and use-wear analysis. The results revealed that all four bone points could be dated to the Boreal period, and imply an Early to Middle Mesolithic date. Harpoons from the River Šventoji and Kamšai were most likely made of aurochs bones. All of the bone points were produced from long sections of tubular long bones, and three of the points show signs of reuse. Overall, the analysis revealed similarities with contemporaneous material in northern Europe. Within the context of the present research, the paper briefly describes other scientific methods which could be applied to orphaned bone and antler tools, including biomolecular and stable isotope analysis. Digital recording methods can be useful for bone artefact recording. This is relevant today, as the demand for good-quality digital representations is increasing, in order to apply software for further analysis, such as geometric morphometrics. As a result, more widespread and systematic applications of these new methods to orphaned osseous finds would lead to a significant activation of these finds in a scientific and outreach context.Key words: Mesolithic, osseous tools, AMS dates, protein-based analysis, use-wear.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ab.v25i0.183
Grensk culture in Eastern Belarus: The current state of research
Get PDFThe article deals with the main range of problems of Grensk culture in the Final Palaeolithic and Mesolithic in the Upper Dnieper region. At present, the understanding of the ways and mechanisms of the formation and the time of habitation of members of this ancient culture are rather debatable. Interpretations of the sources have resulted in two completely different research approaches in terms of methodology, bringing together supporters of the indigenous (U. Budzko, V. Kapytsin, A. Kalechyts, G. Sinitsyna, etc) or migration (L. Zaliznyak, U. Ksiandzou, A. Sorokin, etc) ways of the emergence and the development of Grensk culture. It is impossible to understand the essence of the ‘Grensk question’ without considering the nature of its origin, the problem looked at in this article.Key words: Final Palaeolithic and Mesolithic, Grensk culture, eastern Belarus, Upper Dnieper region, asymmetrical shouldered points, Ienevo culture, Pesochny Rov culture.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ab.v25i0.182
