Master's work was done in Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Department of Food Safety and Quality during the period of 2015-2016. The work consists of: 60 pages, 17 tables, 11 drawings and 6 appendixes. The flavor of beer depends on aldehydes, higher alcohols, diacetyl, sulfur compounds etc., that were generated during fermentation. They influence the immaturity of beer taste, and the odor at high concentrations can negatively affect the quality of beer. The paper describes the study, which aims to clarify the harmful factors that negatively affect the quality and safety parameters of this popular product. Goal: To assess the impact of raw ingredients that effects beer quality indicators. Methods: In this experiment 6 different types of beer samples were investigated. To achieve the set goals, the main indicators that regulate the basic quality of beer, were determined: VBC points, yeast consistency, dead cells, yeast generation of dry matter, color, alcohol content, pH, sefermentavimo degree of carbon dioxide, the bitterness and sensory properties. Results and conclusions: It was assessed, that after the samples of beer were fermented and bottled, the results were as follows: the maximum value of vicinal diketones CKT/BUT found in samples No. 3 (0,168 - 0,136). The lowest VBC value was set in samples No. 2 (0,127 - 0,105). The biggest beer yeast samples density of points - samples No. 6 and No. 4 (respectively 63,34 % and 61,82 %). The minimum amount - in samples No. 3 and No. 5 (respectively 50,89 % and 57,82 %). It was found that the military - industrial complex and the SM weak points related (VBC/CKT r = 0,26, p0,05; VBC/BUT r = - 0,58, p<0,05). Color and the VBC to link moderate positive relationship (VBC/CKT r = 0,58, p<0,01; VBC/BUT r = 0,46, p<0,01). Bitterness and VBC related although weak, but statistically significant (VBC/CKT r = 0,31, p<0,01; VBC/BUT r = 0,22, p<0,05). The analysis on the parameters of indicators suggests that different types of beer have different physical and chemical characteristics, so prized products differ in their common sensuous quality.

People's organisations are creating a context for social action and urban praxis in Athens. Due to the lack of any state or government initiatives, new rhythms are emerging from the streets. Mediated, supported and maintained by social media platforms and location based services such as Facebook, blogs and smartphone applications, these organisations utilise these as tools to bring people together, under a common context: to share and exchange things, ideas and actions. This paper argues that psychogeographical maps, smartphone applications, Facebook groups and event pages, which mediate actions and ideas inscribed in these projects, depict new rhythms emerging in the city of Athens.

Following the mid-nineteenth century, every state in the expanding US founded at least one public insane asylum. Responding to the needs of those with severe cognitive and mental impairments who were poorly housed in prisons and private homes, the asylum promised enlightened management of a seemingly growing social problem. Professional discourse centered both on patients' needs for isolated and restful care and on the threat they posed to the larger community. While asylum superintendents deemed some patients cured and released them, many were found incurable and all were held for indefinite periods of time, isolated from family, friends, and, often, the protection of the courts. As such, patients proved vulnerable to abuse. Among those incarcerated and released, some published asylum accounts that publicly criticized the abrogation of their basic citizenship rights within a constitutional, democratic government. This dissertation examines such first-person asylum narratives written by women in the last-half of the nineteenth century. In this dissertation, I rely on Giorgio Agamben's notion of the state of exception to organize the work of these nineteenth-century writers. The state of exception refers to a civil status brought about by executive order that broadly suspends civil rights under conditions of emergency. Applying Agamben's theorization, I argue alongside Emile Durkheim, that executive authority rests, not only, or primarily, with chief executives such as the US president, but with the administrative branches of government that truly execute state sovereignty. Bolstered by specialized knowledge, political and legal mandates, a strong professional organization, and permissiveness that accrues to practices occurring in relative isolation, chief asylum doctors held such authority with respect to their patients. In large numbers, they suspended the constitutional rights of US citizens under discursively constructed conditions of threat in the nineteenth century
