Andragogue leadership opportunities from the educational viewpoint.
No full textThe theoretical analysis has shown that there is a lack of scientific literature and empirical research in the analysis of possibilities of andragogical leadership expression in the educational aspect, therefore the article discusses the problematic question: how does the andragogical leadership in educational activity manifest? The article reveals and appreciates the importance of andragogical leadership in the educational process (qualitative research) and the importance of andragogical leadership in the process (quantitave study). The significance of the researh is revealed in the use of it's results in order to improve the performance of andragogue leader in the educational process and the expression of the characteristics of the andragogue leader. The article emphasizes that andragogical leadership is an important factor in educational activities, in andragogue has a positive influence on learners with their personal qualities, personal knowledge and competences, and encourages them to act to achieve their goals. The importance and influence of andragogical leadership the learners group is undiniable, evident in constant communication. Learners not only gain more knowledge, but also focus on the community, reducing their social exclusion and promoting cooperation. The research has revealed that there are a number of important types, characteristics and traits of andragogue leaders from the point of view of adult learners and andragogues, which are not sufficient for andragogue leaders. Therefore the article provides recommendations for the development and potential implementation of these andragogical leadership characteristics
New structural systems in small-diameter round timber
No full textThesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, 2015.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (page 51).Trees, when used as structural elements in their natural, round form, are up to five times stronger than the largest piece of dimensioned lumber they could yield. Additionally, these whole-timbers have a lower effective embodied carbon than any other structural material. When combined into efficient structural configurations and joined using specially-engineered connections, whole-timber has the potential to replace entire steel and concrete structural systems in large-scale buildings, bridges, and infrastructure. Whole-timber may be the most appropriate structural solution for a low-carbon and fully renewable future in both developed temperate regions and the developing Global South. To reduce barriers to adoption, including project complexity and cost, a standardized "kit of parts" in whole-timber is proposed. This thesis proposes new designs for the first and most important element of this kit: a structurally independent column in whole-timber. A 20' compound column in whole-timber is prototyped at full-scale. New, simple calculation methods are developed for estimating the buckling capacity of tapered timbers. Based on conservative assumptions, the embodied carbon of whole-timber column systems is shown to be between 30% and 70% lower than conventional steel systems.by Aurimas Bukauskas.S.B

Interim measures in cases with an international element.
No full textRelationship among the people is becoming more and more liberal: individuals often do not hesitate to look for potential business partners abroad, start a family with foreigner or develop a network of private international relations in other way. As these relations develop and more disputes are pending in court, the need to ensure the claim by application of provisional measures is increasing, as well. Proper regulation of this institute and application in practice is a guarantor of the parties’ rights and legitimate interests. However, as discussed in the paper, the court does not always correctly determine the jurisdiction for provisional measures in proceedings with an international element. After the court gives an order to apply provisional measures in proceedings with international element, difficulties could be met in the procedure of order enforcement. In this context author analyses particularities of provisional measures application in proceedings with international element inter alia disclosing the rules, which shall be followed as regards the quality of territorial jurisdiction. The greatest attention is paid to the analysis under the jurisdiction of the European Union legislation, other international laws, and even in cases where the legal relationship between the State and the interlocutory order is not regulated. The order for provisional measures in proceedings with international element has no legal effect until fulfilled. Therefore, the paper contains detailed analysis of their enforcement procedure in Lithuania and foreign countries. Also there are analyzed the separate types of provisional measures applied in the proceedings with foreign element. In order to reveal the topic author used the rich and as much as possible relevant case law and referred to foreign and Lithuanian authors positions presented in the legal doctrine
Piktnaudžiavimas jurisdikcija: quo vadis Europos Sąjunga?
Get PDFStraipsnyje autorius analizuoja galimybes piktnaudžiauti jurisdikcijos taisyklių, įtvirtintų Tarybos reglamente (EB) Nr. 44/2001, sistema bei su tuo susijusią Europos Bendrijų Teisingumo Teismo praktiką. Autorius mano, kad Europos Bendrijų Teisingumo Teismo praktika kai kuriose paskutinėse šio teismo išnagrinėtose bylose sudaro prielaidas piktnaudžiavimui Europos teisminėje erdvėje plisti, todėl argumentuotai siūlo sprendžiant jurisdikcijos klausimus taikyti bendrąjį draudimo piktnaudžiauti teisėmis principą.
In this article the author analyzes the opportunities of abusing jurisdiction rules set forth in the Council Regulation No 44/2001 and related practice of the European Court of Justice. The author considers that recent practice of the ECJ gives a positive background for the abuse in the European Judicial Area to spread, therefore suggests to apply general principle prohibiting abuse of rights when dealing with the jurisdiction issues
KOHEZIJA DIDŽIOSIOS BRITANIJOS PARLAMENTO POSEDŽIŲ OFICIALIOJOJE ATASKAITOJE.
No full textIt is widely acknowledged that political activities can not exist without language. Both politics and language are interrelated concepts. The relation between politics and language are widely investigated in terms of textual analysis based on language of politics. As Paul Anthony Chilton and Christina Schäffner state in the book Politics as text and talk: analytic approaches to political discourse: “ Aristotelian view for language would have evolved to perform social functions – social functions that would in fact correspond to what we understand as ‘political’.”(Chilton and Schäffner 2002:2) Furthermore, Adrian Beard wrote how both language and politics are interrelated in his book The Language of Politics (2000:18). The author provided textual analysis of language in political discourse. The bachelor thesis explores how cohesion is used in political discourse. In this Research, Hansard, official reports of British Parliamentary debates, have been used to investigate the phenomenon of cohesion. In this paper the term “Hansard” is applied to refer to an official report of British Parliamentary debates. To be precise, two dictionaries have been chosen to define the term “Hansard”. Oxford Guide to British and American Culture for Learners of English provides the following definition of the concept “Hansard”: “the informal name for the Official Report of everything that is said in the British parliament, and in its committees.” (Oxford Guide to British and American Culture for Learners of English 2000:242) In comparison, The Oxford Dictionary of Current English gives such a definition: “official verbatim record of debates in the British Parliament” (The Oxford Dictionary of Current English 1993:399)

Abuse of procedural rights.
No full textThe subject matter of this research is abuse of procedural rights and its consequences in the civil justice system. Based on the detailed analysis of the theoretical framework of the notion of abuse of rights, the author develops the concept of abuse of procedural rights in Lithuania’s civil procedure law and explores basic features of it. The author proposes to define abuse of procedural right as a specific procedural offence, where while exercising procedural right, either intentionally or by gross negligence, objectively seeking the goals which are incompatible with its purpose, one violates the boundaries of lawful conduct defined by the conditions of implementation of procedural right, thus inflicting an unjustified harm to the public interests in efficient system of justice and (or) to other participants of the case. The research also provides from the practical point of view significant analysis of procedural issues related to the application of legal liability measures for abuse (a fine and award of damages; article 95 of the Civil Procedure Code) and provides recommendations and solutions for various debatable issues and problems arising in this sphere. It is argued that a claim for reimbursement of damages, incurred due to the abuse of civil procedure (Article 95, paragraph 1 of the CPC), is first of all of substantive nature. The author also proposes to introduce into Lithuania’s civil procedure a private fine that shall be awarded (if requested) in favour of an aggrieved (by abuse) person. The dissertation also provides concrete suggestions on amending and improving current legislation on the procedural abuse
