Building on the latest scholarship in the nationalism-economy nexus studies, the arti cle examines how nationalism inhabits other ideologies in the economic realm. First ly, the article presents the latest strands in the nationalism-economy nexus research, namely compatibility between economy and nationalism understood as ideology. Then, using Foucault's concept of governmentality, the article shows how the two phe nomena are compatible on the theoretical level. Going further, the article connects the latest nationalism-economy nexus scholarship with existing literature on national neoliberalism in the post-socialist Baltic states. The article argues that national neo liberalism in the Baltics provides an example of what the compatibility of nationalism and economy may look like in practice. The Baltic states' Soviet experience encour aged their elites to undertake radical neoliberal reforms, in which the processes of na tion-state and market economy building overlapped. The states were built to create the markets which would in turn guarantee the prosperity of their respective nations. The article juxtaposes different, yet related scholarships and provides a basic theoretical toolkit that could facilitate potential inquiries into the nationalism-economy nexus in Lithuania and a

Climate change has become a serious challenge for governments throughout the world. Sustainable buildings, which are the subject of this final work, is a response to the reduction in carbon emissions. The master's thesis includes three main parts: the concept of building sustainability, the analysis of facade criteria and the multicriteria study of facades of office buildings. The first part examines relevant scientific publications in order to understand the concept of sustainability of buildings and facades. The second part sets out the concept of sustainable development and the criteria for sustainable facades that determine it. In the third part, based on the research results, the selected facade alternatives are analysed in terms of sustainability, the result of which could be useful for those choosing facade finishing solutions. The work consists of an introduction, three main parts, conclusions and suggestions, references. Thesis consists of: 70 p. text without appendixes, 27 pictures, 25 tables, 78 bibliographical entries. 2 work appendices are attached separately.

The paper sets out to describe the initial stages of the design of the corpus of academic Lithuanian. Due to the increasing interest and numerous corpora-based studies in academic discourse (especially of academic English) all over the world, there is an obvious need to provide easily accessible electronic resources of academic Lithuanian to facilitate modern linguistic research, interdisciplinary studies, lexicographical practice, and terminology studies in theory and practice. The Corpus of Academic Lithuanian (CorALit) is being compiled at the University of Vilnius (Faculty of Philology and Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics). The building of the corpus is being carried out within the framework of the 2007–2013 national high-tech development programme launched by the Government of Lithuania and supervised by the Lithuanian State Science and Study Foundation (http://www.vmsfondas.lt/index.php?lang=en). The main issue in the process of corpus design is representativeness which is determined by the following factors: the number of research and study fields represented, the range of genres included (i.e. balance) and the way text chunks for each genre are selected (i.e. sampling). The Corpus of Academic Lithuanian aims at representing the main fields of study and research developed in Lithuania and listed in Order No.30 of the Minister of Education and Science of 9 January 1998 "Concerning the Classification of Study and Research Areas, Fields and Branches" as well as the most typical genres that academic community uses for the creation, dissemination and evaluation of new knowledge and internal communication. Since at present there is no reliable scientific measure for corpus balance, the project team will have to rely on intuition and best estimates based on the experience of academic language corpora already compiled in other countries (the UK, USA, etc.). The compilation of the corpus also involves negotiations, sometimes rather time-consuming, with publishers and authors for copyright. Last but not least, technical aspects of corpus design are touched upon. The main purpose of corpus compilation is to make it easily accessible for large numbers of users, and this means changing the format of computer files and text coding in accordance with TEI P5 Guidelines. TEI P5 format will allow users to access the first synchronic corpus of written academic Lithuanian as a major resource of authentic language data via a simple internet search.

Today in Lithuania there is great concern over the buildings built during the Soviet period and used for agricultural and rural social infrastructure, which are now abandoned. These former agricultural, military, commercial or residential buildings, which have lost their natural functions and have no lasting value, are no longer used due to their poor conditions and high energy costs. Such abandoned buildings are objects of landscape visual pollution, posing a threat to human security and causing damage to property. There are about nine thousand abandoned buildings at present. About 1.200 of these buildings are recognized as orphan buildings. About 90 percent of abandoned buildings are attributable to the non-residential buildings group. Residential buildings account for about 4 percent of all abandoned buildings. It is believed that due to the aging population moving to bigger cities, these buildings or structures in the near future will gradually increase, especially in rural areas and small towns. Aim: to perform an analysis of abandoned buildings in the Kaunas district. Research object - abandoned and derelict buildings used for agricultural purposes in the Kaunas district. Research methodology - the literature analysis method, statistical analysis and synthesis approach were used in the work. The analyzed buildings are situated in rural areas and the administrative buildings of the agricultural production make greater part; therefore, the agricultural land and its area are important factors influencing the functioning of these buildings. This topic is very important and poorly studied. Derelict and abandoned buildings in the country basically became a matter of great concern only a decade ago, when it became apparent that many improperly privatized buildings would no longer be used fortheir intended purpose.

The article deals with the problem of the paradigmatic changes of the concept of nation, which was going on in the period from the end of the 18th and 19th centuries up to the present time. The ideas of German Romanticism and philosophy as well as those of French Enlightenment created the conceptual background of the traditional understanding considering the nation to be a part of the primeval structure of humankind. French Revolution gave birth to the political concept of nation. In the social sciences of the 20th century, the view dominates that basic circumstances of the appearance of nation in history as a historical subject have been political motives and cultural integration of society stimulated by the spread of the press media and literacy of the population, which took place in the period of disintegration of the feudal multicultural empires and the emergence of the modern national states. The process manifested itself mainly in two different formats: according to the "western" format the nation is defined by the state; according to the "eastern" format, the state is created by the nation. Under the influence of these factors, the nationality as such was transformed into nationalism as a certain form of patriotism. Theories held by some scholars are that nations were created or even "invented" as communities of imagination.

The paper develops the insights laid out in the chapter The Trauma of Nation's De-localisation in the book Dramaturgy of National Identity (2005). In the contemporary world, delocalisation of nations is unavoidable and, in that sense, it represents a natural process of civilisation which reproduces national identity in a transnational form both in the country of emigration and of origin. However, for the nations with an incomplete story of territorial consolidation, the opening up to supra-nationalisation, emigration, and globalisation in general was unexpected and seemed infinite and destructive for the nation. The Lithuanian nation was affected by delocalisation, among other things, primarily by especially large-scale emigration. The nation is losing the feeling of integrity. Just 25 years ago, the ideal of the localisation of the nation – its concentration on a sovereign territory – prevailed. Global life economization, European supra-nationalization, and the failure to successfully complete the postcommunist transformation dealt a blow to the national ideal that actualised "one's own state". The "breaking up" of the nation was so unexpected that even nationalism did not actualise ethnocentrism. It was expected to be just temporary costs of post-communist transformation. However, presently, we have increasingly more arguments to prove that the post-communist transitional period has expired, therefore, the current trends have long-term prospects. The de-localization of the Lithuanian nation takes place not really as a natural process of civilisation, but rather as a response to the mainly unsuccessful end of post-communism in Lithuania. The situation is to be characterised by the metaphor of trauma. [.]
