    Dabartinis VDU Kauno botanikos sodo istorijos tarpsnis yra sudėtingas, reikia priimti svarbius, jo egzistavimui įtakos turinčius sprendimus. Šios vietovės istoriškumo bruožai, jos daugiapakopės ervinės struktūros problematika ir natūralios gamtinės aplinkos fragmentiškumas, ypatingo ne tik Kauno miesto, bet ir Respublikos objekto statusas įpareigoja priimti itin atsakingus sprendimus, kaip toliau vystyti šį sodą. 2012 m. Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas ir Vroclavo aplinkos ir gamtos mokslų universitetas pasirašė bendradarbiavimo sutartį, kuri tapo pagrindu išanalizuoti šios vietovės vystymo kryptis. Bendromis partnerių pastangomis buvo pateikta nuosekli botanikos sodo įvertinimo studija, kurioje atsispindi svarbiausios jo vertybės ir galimos investicijų kryptys. Ateities botanikos sodo koncepcija remiasi dviem bruožais – svarbiausiomis dabartinio Kauno botanikos sodo kokybinėmis charakteristikomis ir šiuolaikinės kraštovaizdžio architektūros panaudojimo galimybėmis. Tokia platų problemų spektrą apimanti studija suteikia galimybę ne tik išsaugoti šio objekto vertybes, bet ir kūrybiškai jį atnaujinti – praplėsti jo kokybinę vertybių skalę.The Kaunas Botanical Garden stands now before making important decisions. The innate qualities of the area’s historical value, multidimensional spatial structure and natural resources, and above all, the importance for the city and for Lithuania in general, make the decisions about the Garden’s further development responsible and difficult. The agreement between Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas and Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, established in 2012, provides a basis for reflection on the subject. On the basis of the considerations made the programme that distinguished a coherent system of dealing with the garden existing values and give direction for new investments. The concept is based on two assumptions: on the one hand, the holistic recognition of qualities and resources of the present KBG, on the other, the introduction of contemporary landscape architecture. Such a combination introduces new aspects that have a chance to save and improve the quality of the Garden in a creative way

    Rutile growth mechanism on TiC monocrystals by oxidation

    The surfaces (111) and (110) of TiC single crystals have been exposed to an Ar/O-2 mixture at low oxygen content (approximate to270 ppm, P-tot = 2 bar abs.) and 1073 K. The oxygen consumption and interaction gaseous products have been detected, respectively, through zirconia stabilized oxygen sensors and a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The cross-sections of oxidized samples have been analyzed by micro-Raman and SEM techniques. Concentration profiles of amorphous carbon and rutile have been detected along the carbide oxidized layer interface. This confirms previous observations of retention of carbon during the oxidation of the transition metal carbides. The results obtained have been compared with our previous experiments which showed the following structural relationships: TiO2(200)\TiC(111) and TiO2(110)\TiC(110). The rutile (200) growth rate was found to be higher than the growth rate of rutile (110). Oxidation routes have been proposed

    Investigation of Performance of Students in Engineering Drawing in Ethiopian Universities – A Case of Wolaita Sodo University

    In Ethiopian higher education curriculum, engineering drawing is the basic engineering skills needed by all engineering professionals to increase their creativity and productivity. It is the main communication language within professional engineers. However, the performance of students in the course has been declined in recent years in most Ethiopian universities. Therefore, this research was aimed to identify the problems that had contributions for law performance of students and suggest some possible solutions. Study of pre-engineering students’ performance in engineering drawing course was the first phase of the study, using Wolaita Sodo University as a case study. The eight consecutive year’s results of students were collated and analyzed. Then constraints encountered in poor performance of students were surveyed. Interviews were designed and held with some students and instructors in the university. Finally, the author suggested some possible solutions to overcome these problems. The results of the research indicated that only 68.49% students scored pass mark. The factors behind this are lack of teaching facilities, negative attitude of students, old style teaching methodology, and poor classroom management. Fulfilling teaching facilities, exploring modern instructional methods, creating peaceful classroom environment are some feasible suggestions for improving students’ performance in engineering drawing
