The second half of the 19th century is related to 1pskr.11 movements in different countries. During this period many Lithuanians left their homeland. The fact that Lithuania was situated between Russia and Germany facilitated their emigration. The largest number of Lithuanians migrated to the USA (1pskr.1 from the ports of Germany and Liepaja). The emigration of Lithuanians to America is a rather widely discussed topic. There are numerous historical sources about their social, cultural, political and everyday life beyond the Atlantic ocean. However, we should not forget that the U.S.A. was not the only place Lithuanians migrated to. As the railway lines were built, communication with the neighbour states became more convenient, therefore, Lithuanians moved to industrial Latvian cities, such as Riga, Liepaja and Jelgava, seeking job as at that time Lithuania was still an underdeveloped agrarian country. The biggest number of Lithuanians gathered in Riga – the centre of the governorate of Livland at that time, where local ethnic minorities had quite good opportunities to 1pskr.1 themselves in culture and education. Having these conditions Lithuanians began to form groups, which later became large fellowships with prominent representatives, active movement and merits to both Latvia and Lithuania. At present there is a lack of thorough researches about the activity of Lithuanian fellowships in Latvia. Nevertheless, a few researches were made by both Latvian and Lithuanian researchers. However, they only discussed life of Lithuanians in 1pskr.11n general but did not 1pskr.1 education and culture. For this reason in my research I focus on educational and cultural activity of Lithuanian fellowships in Riga from the end of 19th until the first half of 20th century. What concerns Lithuanian imigrants and the activity of their fellowships in Riga, first of all we have to find out the reasons why Lithuanians migrated to this seaport of Russian empire; what were political and economical conditions in the governorates of Kaunas, Kuršas and Livland and later in the republics of Lithuania and Latvia; what were the reasons of such choice; why Lithuanians were able to 1pskr.1 themselves more actively in Riga than in Lithuania. It is important to find out what motivated Lithuanians to establish fellowships and what was the nature of their activity. To summarize the research, it can be said that the first features of socio-cultural activity of Lithuanian fellowships in Riga were noticeable in the end of 19th century. With the help of fellowships Lithuanians cultivated Lithuanian culture through education, press and participated in politics.

In our paper we present a corpus of transcribed Lithuanian parliamentary speeches. The corpus is prepared in a specific format, appropriate for different authorship identification tasks. The corpus consists of approximately 111 thousand texts (24 million words). Each text matches one parliamentary speech produced during an ordinary session from the period of 7 parliamentary terms starting on March 10, 1990 and ending on December 23, 2013. The texts are grouped into 147 categories corresponding to individual authors, therefore they can be used for authorship attribution tasks; besides, these texts are also grouped according to age, gender and political views, therefore they are also suitable for author profiling tasks. Whereas short texts complicate recognition of author speaking style and are ambiguous in relation to the style of other authors, we incorporated only texts containing not less than 100 words into the corpus. In order to make each category as comprehensive and representative as possible, we included only those authors, who produced speeches at least 200 times. All the texts are lemmatized, morphologically and syntactically annotated, tokenized into the character n-grams. The statistical information of the corpus is also available. We have also demonstrated that the created corpus can be effectively used in authorship attribution and author profiling tasks with supervised machine learning methods. The corpus structure also allows using it with unsupervised machine learning methods and can be used for creation of rule-based methods, as well as in different linguistic analyses.

The goal of Master thesis is to investigate expression and features of postmodern style of private dwelling-houses of Lithuania, from the middle of the 9th decade to the 10th decade of the twentieth century. In order to reveal the characteristics, features and cultural significance of the style in Lithuania, the private dwelling-houses of postmodern style of the Western world (the U.S., Western Europe, Japan) are analyzed, as well as conditions which prompted their development. The paper discusses that the social, political and economic factors of Lithuania at that time, led to the suspicion and critical evaluation of postmodern architecture in general.It is assumed that due to the political-economical factors, the Western magazines were one of the main tools for Lithuanian architects to get to know postmodern architecture. Therefore, a comparative analysis between private dwelling-houses published in foreign periodicals, and of Lithuania, is conducted. Consequently the most common features of private dwelling-houses of postmodern style in Lithuania and their links with Western architecture are determined. Houses of Lithuania of high quality postmodern architecture are named, their valuable properties are defined. Thesis consists of: 92 p. text without extras, 57 pictures., 9 schemes, 99 bibliographical entries, 3 appendixes included.

Taking together all the evidence on the aetiology, development and differential processes of delinquent behaviour from childhood to adulthood, we dispose of important new evidence from the neurosciences, which, compared to traditional criminological, developmental, psychological and sociological evidence, increases our capacity to explain the age-crime curve. In particular, the right-hand side of the curve, indicating desistance from crime in young adulthood between the ages of 18 and 25, can be based on new insights from neuroscientific research on brain maturation and the development of self-control mechanisms. As a result, new questions about judicial reactions and interventions must be raised. If an individual's brain is fully matured only in the mid-twenties, general criminal law is possibly inappropriate, and a specific youth or young-adult criminal law reflecting the transitional processes and the diminished culpability of young-adult offenders should rather be applied. In many European jurisdictions, the scope of youth justice has been extended upwards to 18–20 year-old adults, in the Netherlands even up to 22 years of age, a political decision affecting criminality and based on new neuroscientific evidence.

This article analyses one element of corpus delicti of misappropriation of authorship, criminalised in Lithuanian Criminal Code Article 191 – the object (or the protected good) of a crime. The quality of Lithuanian national regulation and the scope of object of misappropriation of authorship, which affects the qualification of the crime, is evaluated by comparing it with other European Union countries' criminal legal regulation of intellectual property.
