This study aims at analysing metaphorical expressions and reconstructing TERRORISM metaphors in British and Lithuanian media political discourse in the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics and political philosophy (Lakoff and [ohnson 1999, [ohnson 1993, Elshtain 2004, Fairc/ough 2001, Spencer 2006, Turner 2002, etc.). For that purpose, thirty-six analytical articles, searched by the key word 'terrorism (En.) / terorizmas (Lith.)' were collected from the online archives of The Economist and www.politika.lt. The method applied to investigate the collected data is that of qualitative analy- sis in the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics and conceptual metaphor theory (ŲYOUH06 2001, Fauconnier and Turner 2002, Kbvecses 2002, Lakoff 2001, 2002, etc.). The findings reveal that despite different time patterns of the collected data sources (i. e. English 2010; Lithuanian 2005, 2006,2007,2008) the analogous metaphors ofWAR, CRIME and HEALTH have been reconstructed. Their analysis shows the prevalence of pragmatic political morality to TERRORISM govern ed by the concepts of STRENGTH, ORDER and CONTROL. Even more, their use spreads fear of terrorism by exploiting the image of terrifying war scenes, serious criminal activities and the deadly virus rapidly contaminating social order.

In the doctoral dissertation, an attempt is made to investigate the concepts of ANGER, FEAR and SHAME in Lithuanian linguistic worldview. The research is aimed at revealing what knowledge and experiences are underlying the usage of the names of emotions in Lithuanian as well as what lexical units are used by representatives of Lithuanian linguistic and cultural community to express and evaluate emotional well-being. The research is conducted using a complex research methodology, the core of which consists of the analytical-descriptive and adapted S-A-T method, used by Lublin ethnolinguistic researchers. The reconstruction of linguistic and cultural images of emotions of ANGRER, FEAR and SHAME is carried out by following the main theoretical assumptions of cognitive ethnolinguistics and the principles of language worldview reconstruction. In the dissertation brief psychological and philosophical portraits of emotions are presented, lexicographic data, proverbs and textual material (data of literary, public, political, ideological-historical and religious discourses), axiological images of emotions and conceptual metaphors are studied. On the basis of collected material, the conceptual categories of ANGER, FEAR and SHAME are restored, basic schemas of perception of the analysed emotions, referring to cognitive activities, and culturally attributed Lithuanian variants of these schemas – cognitive models – are revealed. The latter are complex systems of knowledge and experiences, evoked in the Lithuanian consciousness by using the lexical units and constructions belonging to lexical families of anger, fear and shame in a specific communication act and cultural context. After revealing the peculiarities and tendencies of the linguistic conceptualisation of ANGER, FEAR and SHAME, there are presented the cognitive definitions anger, fear and shame in Lithuanian.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze how technological, economic, political and social factors can be integrated into Business Model for Geo-location database as a controlling entity for operation of Cognitive Radio devices in the TV White Space spectrum range. Tasks of thesis: to perform an analysis of scientific literature in the context of TVWS and to identify technologies of TVWS management, to find factors influencing Geo-location Database Business Model, to put forward Geo-location Database scenarios, to construct classification of Business Model for the Geo-location Database, to provide experimental study of feasibility to deploy distinct classification of Business Model for the distinct scenarios of Geo-location Database. Qualitative methods chosen for the research: exploratory literature analysis, consultations with experts/specialists and conceptual modelling based on scenarios. The exploratory part of the thesis describes existing spectrum shortage problem and presents potential technologies that can solve this problem. The theoretical part of this work introduces research methodology and the concept and principles of Business Model for technology innovation. Analytical part of the thesis seeks to identify potential Business Model configurations for the operations of Geo-location database in the TV White Space spectrum range. This part ends with presenting experimental study of the feasibility of Geo-location Business Model. The final part of the thesis concludes with the main results that propose optimal Business Model configuration for the Geo-location Database that can be used for further research.
