Epithets and their translations in advertising texts of lithuanian jewelry designer shop “YURGA”.
No full textJewelry has been a fascinating subject since the earliest times of human civilization, so it’s not surprising that jewelry is still an important part of life today, and a status symbol. In the global trade market, the enormous competition to sell jewelry requires the use of various sales strategies and effective advertising. To solve these conundrums, a variety of artistic and rhetorical expressions can come in hand. The final project is devoted to a review one of these tools - epithets and their translations in the advertising texts of Lithuanian jewelry designers. The choice for picking Lithuanian jewelry makers’ advertising texts and their translations as an object was made because although in Lithuanian linguistics one can find studies on Lithuanian advertising and its peculiarities, but these are general scientific research articles and there is still a lack of concrete understanding that describes the use of epithets for these types of advertising texts as a whole, so this final project is one of the first steps into this under-researched area. The final project aims to look at how Lithuanian jewelry designer copywriters use epithets and what solutions they use to translate them. Jewelry advertising texts are chosen because they show a strong use of this rhetorical device, but it is observed that there are often difficulties in creating and translating texts of this type. Creativity is often avoided and texts look unnatural, so the aim of the thesis is to look at the usage of epithets and their translations into English in advertising texts of the Lithuanian jewelry store YURGA. This shop was chosen because of its very extensive range of jewelry and the abundance of product descriptions. The project’s objectives are set and carried out by introducing aspects of language of advertising, then describing the importance of various artistic and rhetorical expressions in advertisment language, introducing various definitions of an epithet and finally, various techniques for text translation. According to theoretical sources, the use of different rhetorical figures and persuasive tools in advertising language is undeniably impactful on the success of advertising message. An epithet vividly describes an object, a phenomenon or a person, and in order to translate it well, a suitable translation technique must be chosen. The study shows that YURGA’s copywriters avoid creative translation when drafting and translating texts, and that the translations of epithets is mostly done using literal translation technique, but tat doesn’t negate the effect of persuasion. The vast majority of epithets are adjectival and participial epithets, with the highest number of epithets come from the lexical semantic group of Value. This decision from copywriters to use this lexical semantic group of epithets is likely based for the intent to convey positive emotions to the customer as convincingly as possible, therefore epithets are most often utilized in emphasizing important peculiarities of pieces of jewelry such as worth, what kind of metal is used and what they symbolize

Humanity's ever-expanding use of information technology provides an ever-increasing variety of threats to those who wish to do harm, one of which is DoS attacks, which can slow down or completely stop devices, causing dire financial and other consequences. For this reason, this topic is very important to better understand DoS attacks, to identify their operating principles, to observe how the packet flow changes during the attack. The problem of the thesis - every year the number of DoS attacks in the world increases, which is why it is important to collect data from these attacks for machine learning. The aim of the thesis is the creation of a simulation environment for the generation and analysis of DoS attack data. This is important because by collecting the right amount from the analysed attacks, it is possible to train devices with the help of machine learning and prevent the occurrence of DoS attacks. The work will use different tools to carry out these attacks, analyse network traffic by monitoring the impact of attacks on the server, collect data that can be used for machine learning to help identify DoS attacks and prevent them faster.Autorius Tadas Paulauskas.

Investigation of thermally crosslinkable charge transport materials.
No full textChosen theme – investigation of Thermally Crosslinkable Charge Transport Materials. The author – Tadas Juknevičius. Leader assistant – Dr. Vygintas Jankauskas. Relevance: Renewable energy sources are increasingly used in the world, and solar collectors are one of the most popular. The most widely used silicon solar cells (SC) are quite expensive, so alternatives are being sought. Perovskite solar cells have comparable efficiency, and in addition, they can be produced much cheaper. However, they have several major disadvantages - they are not resistant to moisture and direct sunlight. To change this, we investigated the mechanical and charge transfer characteristics of organic semiconductors before and after crosslinking polymerization, hoping that the charge transfer properties of the material would not deteriorate and the mechanical properties would improve significantly. The aim of the study: to perform charge transfer studies of two organic semiconductors - V1241 and V1274 using XTOF method and to compare the obtained results. Also to produce a differential thermal analysis (DTA) device, which would allow accurate measurements of thermal events of samples, such as polymerization. The study was performed in NFTMC A328 and other laboratories. The work lasted from October 2019 to March 2020. Later on, data analysis and review of sources were performed. In the course of our work, we found that V1241 material was given stronger mechanical properties by crosslinking, and the charge transfer was not significantly affected. For V1274, we found that we could produce a quality sample only with a binder - polycarbonate. Three samples in a ratio of 1: 2, 1: 3 and 1: 4 with polycarbonate were tested. We observed that as the amount of polycarbonate in the sample increased, the mobility of the holes in the sample decreased rapidly, so the load transfer to this material was impaired

Role of County Governor’s Administration in Lithuanian System of Public Administration.
No full textThe Master Thesis “Role of County Governor’s Administration in Lithuanian System of Public Administration” is prepared in 2010. The author of the paper is Tadas Simelis. The aim of the research: to analyse the role of county management in the Lithuanian System of Public administration, the tendency of change and historical process of this mechanism. For implementation of the aim of the research the following objectives have been set: to ascertain the historical role of counties; to analyse the functions assigned to county’s governor and the measures applicable; to discuss the reasons and the essence of public administration system reforms; to ascertain the role of the county governor’s administration in the system of public administration, to explore the opinion of employees of county governor’s administration, employees of municipality and users of the services rendered by public administration institutions. Upon the analysis of the opinion of the employees of municipality, we can conclude that, according to the opinion of the employees of municipality, the functions of county governor’s administration can be taken over by municipalities, hereby improving rendering of services for residents. The activity of county governor’s administration is only important, when implementing regional programs. The employees of municipalities have no very divergent opinion, neither positive, no negative, on liquidation of the county governor’s administration and think that the liquidation of that institution will provide both positive and negative after-effects. The biggest attention, when liquidating the county governor’s administrations, must be given for strategic assessment of that process. The analysis of the employees of county governor’s administration showed that, the opinion of the employees of the county governor’s administration was coincident with the opinion of the municipality’s employees concerning the fact that within the period of the tough times the county governor’s administrations had to be retained as an institution, but the amount of employees should be decreased. The employees of the county governor’s administration assess their work favourably and state that the county governor’s administration is a well-established institution. According to their opinion, when liquidating the county governor’s administrations, the biggest attention must be given for fluent assignment of the functions. Upon the analysis of the opinion of the users of services rendered by county governor’s administrations, it was established that, basically, the users valuated the activity of the county governor’s administration adversely (78 per cent) although visited this institution quite rarely. They hoped that after liquidation of the county governor’s administrations the rendering of services for residents would improve, but pointed out that the main factor, which should be considered, when liquidating the county governor’s administrations, must be dismissal of employees
Kompozitinių plienbetoninių perdangų vibracijų tyrimai.
No full textDevelopments in lightweight steel-concrete composite floors with long spans are resulting in structures with low natural frequencies. Potentially, these floors are sensitive to vibration issues. Vibrations are mostly caused by human activities on the floor. However, vibrations due to mechanical systems can also cause problems. This thesis analyses approaches on how to manually calculate natural frequency and dynamic response of slim composite floors by using available design guidelines. Composite slim steel-concrete floors with hollow-core slabs are chosen in the analysis because they are one of the most popular on construction market nowadays. Additionally, Finite Element Method software (i.e. SCIA Engineer and Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis) is used to determine the dynamic properties of these floors. Moreover, the author has created nomographs to calculate the natural frequency of floor elements much easier with less calculation. Finally, all results from the manual and numerical calculations, as well as nomographs are compared and concluded
