Simon Firkovič and his role in preserving the Karaim language
Get PDFLithuania is a unique place in the world where the Karaim language is still alive. Living in Lithuania for 625 years, Karaims have spoken their mother tongue at home and in their families, also used their language in religious service, and learned it at school. The Senior priest of Trakai community Simon Firkovič (1897–1982) played an important role in fostering and preserving his native Karaim. He was elected to that position in 1922 and served there for 60 years. The article looks into his activities in two strands: him working for the community in his religious and teaching duties as well as being a poet and writer, in a more individual vein following his vocation to cultivate, safeguard, facilitate, and nurture Karaim identity

Homage to the last speakers of Halich Karaim
Get PDFThe article pays homage to the last fluent speakers of Halich Karaim. Two of them lived in the traditional settlement, the Karaim Street in Halich. A further speaker moved to Trakai and stayed there for the rest of her life with her sister. Thanks to favorable circumstances all of them could communicate in their daily life in Halich Karaim and maintain their full competence in their community language. Common to them all was their concern about the future of the language and their strong determination to transmit their linguistic competence to others, and especially to the younger Karaim generation
Between turkic and slavic. Materials for the investigation of slavic loanwords in the earliest west Karaim sources
Get PDFThis paper offers an overview of the oldest West Karaim written sources with a special focus on the Slavic lexical elements they contain. The main goal of the article is to present the phonetic adaptation processes these loanwords underwent and to answer the question from which Slavic languages they were borrowed. The Slavic linguistic material presented in this article was collected from manuscripts created in the first 100 years of the written history of West Karaim, i.e. in the period between 1671 and 1772. The year 1772, i.e. the year in which the First Partition of Poland took place, has been chosen as the closing time limit mainly because the second half of the 18th century was the time when Slavic–West Karaim bilingualism became a widespread phenomenon which, in turn, resulted in markedly different adaptation processes than in the early decades of these contacts

Towards Service Quality in Logistics in a Multi-Crisis Environment: The Combination of Lean and Digitalisation
Get PDFOrganisations operating in an environment of uncertainty are looking at 15-18 months to run operations at the same level as in the pre-crisis period. Therefore, companies have to focus on updating existing quality approaches, developing new models, and finding best practices. This paper aims to investigate the activities of a logistics company operating in Lithuania, which is implementing the lean philosophy through improving quality using information technology, and to analyse its actions in improving quality during the crisis. In order to achieve the set goal, the non-conformance management data of the parcel delivery company from 2016 to 2022 was analysed. During the research, it was found that the company had faced several crises, the most prominent of which was the increased demand for logistics services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that new, emerging quality management challenges are managed by applying knowledge of lean management practices within two years
Employer Image and Employer Brand: Interaction of Both Terms
Get PDFCurrently, when the demand for employees is higher than supply, there is a question of possible solutions. One of the opportunities for companies is to ensure that they will be chosen when their potential employees consider making career changes. This is where the terms “employer image” and “employer brand” come into the picture – terms often used interchangeably in the scientific and professional fields. The aim of the article is to eliminate the confusion in the use of employer brand and employer image as terms and to show their theoretical position among other interconnected terms. It is presented through definitions and a model proposed by the author. In addition, the author points to the consideration of ethics when applying the employer brand
