Darius I and the Daric
No full textThe author describes the place of the daric in the development of the coinage of Sardes, and links its weight with that of the Babylonian shekel of Darius I. He explores the question of exchange between the earlier electrum and the gold and silver issues struck at Sardes under the Persians, suggesting that there was a significant fall in the value of silver over the second half of the 6th.

Darius Versus Xerxem: The images of Darius I And Xerxes In Old-Persian texts and in the works of Aeschylus and Herodotus
No full text© The Author(s) 2017. This article considers the development of the images of Persian Kings Darius I and Xerxes in Persia and Ancient Greece. The authors deal with self-representation of these monarchs in their inscriptions as well as perception of them in the ancient tradition represented by Aeschylus and Herodotus. They come to the conclusion that though Darius and Xerxes represented themselves as equals, they were perceived in ancient tradition as contrasting persons. It was most evident in Aeschylus' Persians who idealized Darius and represented Xerxes as the person mainly responsible for all misdeeds and failures of the Persians in their campaign against the Greeks. Herodotus contrasted Xerxes with Darius only on a few specific occasions, so the opposition between two Persian kings in his work is less evident than in Aeschylus' play. At the same time Herodotus' image of Xerxes is much more prejudiced and negative than that of Darius. However, there is a similarity in the representation of both Persian kings by Aeschylus and Herodotus: Darius is depicted as an administrator more than a warrior, Xerxes was a warrior par excellence

No full textAuthor of paper: Kristina Zujūtė Full title of the paper: Innovation implementation in the sport organization. Paper advisor: assist. Darius Ruželė Number of pages: 42 Number of tables: 7 The aim of this work is to conduct an empirical research on the implementation of innovations in a sports organization while using scientific literature. Research methods: secondary data analysis (already existing scientific papers), analysis of primary research findings (responses from interviews with the organization employees) and a summary of the findings from both secondary and primary research. Secondary data findings show that there are articles discussing the specifics of implementing innovations in organizations. However, there were no articles found about the implementation of innovations in the sports organization. The application and implementation of innovations and the connection between innovation and the organization’s strategy were analysed during the sports organization analysis. There was a focus on the influence of innovations on the organization’s results. Employees’ suggestions on how to adopt new innovations are listed as well. Findings suggest that innovations are current and are being adopted rapidly. Most recent innovations are these: courses for coaches, a variety of information processing systems, new uniforms for sports people, collaboration with a firm which supplies supplements and the creation of a documentary movie. According to the respondents, everything starts from the problem, as soon as the problem appears, the solutions are found to that problem. During the innovations strategy and connection analysis it was noticed that innovations are the essential part of the organization’s strategy. Obviously, not everything always happens in a way that the employees of the organization want and expect. After analysing the influence of innovations on the organization’s results, it was suggested that innovations motivate to do well and lead to better results. According to few respondents, the organization focuses on the most important work but pays less attention to the creation of new innovations
Mokslas ir mes, lietuviai
No full textStraipsnyje aptariamos su Jūratės Statkutės de Rosales parašyta knyga „Europos šaknys ir mes, lietuviai“ susijusios aplinkybės. Straipsnio autorius Darius Barionas stebisi šiai knygai suteiktu „moksliniu“ universalios dešimtainės klasifikacijos (UDK) indeksu, dideliu susidomėjimu knyga Lietuvos akademiniuose sluoksniuose bei platesnėje visuomenėje ir teigiamai apie knygą atsiliepusių mokslininkų iš užsienio nekompetencija. Straipsnyje tvirtinama, kad nemaža šiuolaikinės Lietuvos visuomenės dalis nebesuvokia, koks yra skirtumas tarp istorijos mokslo ir istorinio romano, nebejaučia ribos, skiriančios istorinės tiesos paieškas nuo istorinių pramanų gaminimo industrijos. Knygos autorė apibūdinama kaip savamokslė, kuri kultivuoja savo hobį – senąją baltų istoriją. Nors gilinimasis ir savišvieta duoda vaisių – lietuviškai pasirodė jau keturios jos knygos, tačiau jų negalima laikyti moksliniais straipsniais. Straipsnyje vertinamas knygos kaip mokslinio veikalo solidumas. Diskutuojama su J. Statkutės de Rosales teiginiu, kad Jordano „Getikoje“ minima Skandzos sala yra ne Skandinavija, bet aiški nuoroda į salą, esančią prie pat Vyslos upės žiočių. D. Baronas pateikia argumentų komentuodamas „Getikos“ atsiradimo kontekstą ir patį teksto pobūdį. Knygos faktologinius netikslumus, diskutuotinas interpretacijas ir išvadas straipsnio autorius aiškina ne tik J. Statkutės de Rosales profesinio pasirengimo stoka, bet ir sąmoninga, o dar dažniau nesąmoninga istorijos falsifikacija. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Gotai; Jūratė Statkutė de Rosales; Lietuva, mokslas istorija, Istoriniai įvykiai; Lietuvos istorija; Recepcija; „Europos šaknys ir mes, lietuviai“; Historical events; Jūratė Statkutė de Rosales; Lithuania; Lithuanian History; Reception; Science; The Goths; „Europos šaknys ir mes, lietuviai“The article deals with circumstances related to the book “Europos šaknys ir mes, lietuviai“ [The Roots of Europe and We, the Lithuanians] by Jūratė Statkutė de Rosales. The author of the article Darius Barionas is surprised that this book was given “scientific” index of Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), how Lithuanian academic circles and general public showed high interest in this book and how incompetent are the foreign scientists, who left positive feedback about it. The article claims that a big part of contemporary Lithuanian society does not perceive what the difference between the historical science and historical novel is; they no longer feel the boundary, which distinguishes the quest for historical truth from historical fiction production industry. The author of the book is described as a self-educated individual, who cultivates her hobby – the ancient history of the Balts. Although self-education and going into the heart of the subject bears fruit – four of her books already appeared in Lithuania, but they can not be considered scientific articles. This article evaluates the solidity of the book as a scientific work. The author debates with J. Statkutė de Rosales regarding her statement that Scanza island, mentioned in Jordanes‘ “Getica”, is not Scandinavia, but a clear reference to the island located near the mouth of the Vistula river. D. Baronas submits arguments commenting upon the emergence of the “Getica” context and the nature of the text itself. The author explains the factual inaccuracies, questionable interpretations and conclusions of the book to be not only the lack of J. Statkutė de Rosales‘ professional preparation, but also conscious, more often unconscious falsification of history
Conflict of interpretations of the letter from skiffs to Darius the first
No full textПредметне послання скіфів перському цареві Дарію І, що складалося з пташки, жабки, мишки й стріл, не містило авторських інтонацій, бо самі скіфи утрималися від роз’яснень його змісту. Чисте артикулювання німе. Тому адресат змушений ставати співавтором скіфського листа й самостійно його інтонувати. Фактично скіфи спровокували Дарія інтонувати, з одного боку, свої владні бажання, а з іншого боку, правдоподібні інтенції скіфів. Це самороздвоєння спричинює внутрішній конфлікт і заганяє Дарія в глухий кут. Його жадання вичитати зі скіфського послання їхнє визнання власної капітуляції дисонувало з їхньою фактичною непокірною поведінкою. І ця пастка спрацьовує так, що Дарій сам схиляється до капітуляції, бо його інтонації діють як детонації – таємна психологічна зброя скіфів у царині символів. Інтерпретатора деморалізує його власне тлумачення. Сама композиція листа відбиває космологічні уявлення скіфів і виявляє їхнє бачення світобудови: небо-земля-вода. Дарій без проблем зчитав чітко артикульований предметами шар повідомлення, фігуральний зміст якого не давався легко, бо через загальнодоступний код транслювалося зашифроване звернення. Тлумачення листа іншими особами відбиває світогляд останніх і виявляє неперекладності й різночитання, обумовлені відмінностями культур. Тільки Дарій мав справу з речами, тоді як решта тлумачів – із словами різних мов, що позначають ті речі. Але за будь-яких умов це повідомлення вимагає живих інтонацій. Змістовно лист дозволяє вичитати з себе і жарт, і капітуляцію, і відверту погрозу тощо. Конфлікт інтерпретацій можуть спричиняти як лінгвістичні чи світоглядні неперекладності різних культур, так і політична заангажованість інтерпретаторів. Тому інтерпретація предметного повідомлення так само, як і вербального, залежить від його інтонаційного наповнення.Sum of the things as a short letter of the Scythians to Persian King Darius the First, which were collection of a
bird, a frog, a mouse and arrows, contains no intonations, because the Scythians themselves refrained to explain its contents. Pure articulation is silent. That’s why the addressee has to become co-author the Scythian message to intonate it in his way. Actually Darius was forced to intone, on the one hand, his imperious desires, and, on the other hand, the plausible Scythians intentions. Such self-split causes internal conflict and pushes Darius to an impasse. His desire to read the Scythian message as their own recognition of their surrender contradicts with their obviously disobedient behavior. It works as a trap. Darius himself inclines to surrender, because his intonations work as detonations - the secret psychological weapon of the Scythians in the field of symbols. That’s the case when the interpretation demoralizes its own interpreter. The composition of the letter reflects the Scythians cosmological representations and reveals their outlook. When Herodotus, Clement d'Alexandrie, J.-J.Rousseau and others retell and interpret the letter, both their retelling and interpretation reflect their cultural differences and their different worldviews. Only Darius dealt with pure
things, while the rest of interpreters dealt with different languages words denoting those things. But in any case this message requires live intonations. The Scythian letter allows you to subtract from it some jokes or mock the same as a demand of surrender or as an open threat etc. Conflict of interpretations can be caused by both linguistic untranslatability either worldview untranslatability of different cultures and political involvement of interpreters. Therefore, the interpretation of the message through things, the same as through words, also depends on its intonation content
