Migrant Identity: Maintenance of Lithuanianness, Language Attitudes and Language Policy in Lithuanian Diaspora
Authors: Gribauskienė Skirmantė 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Ethnic, linguistic identity, heritage language maintenance and transmission, language attitudes and policies remain important topics in nowadays globalized world. The main purpose of this study, which is a part of a large-scale research on Lithuanian heritage language, was to analyze the linguistic and ethnic identity development within Lithuanian diaspora. The article investigates the linguistic attitudes, language practices and language policies within the Lithuanian diaspora in Ireland and Norway, paying extra attention to the younger (K2) generation of Lithuanian migrants. A specialized sociolinguistic questionnaire was developed for this study. A total of 74 first-generation Lithuanian emigrants based in Ireland (n = 18) and Norway (n = 56) participated in the online survey. All participants had children aged 4–17. The data from the questionnaire survey are also illustrated with examples from 5 semi-structured interviews. The study revealed that emigrants from both countries maintain a strong connection with their country of origin. Almost half of the respondents claim that their children visit Lithuania at least once a year, while more than a third of respondents’ children visit Lithuania twice a year or more often. A third of participants are planning to return to Lithuania. Most of the respondents enroll their children to Lithuanian Saturday schools. However, the younger generation seem to differ from their parents in their language attitudes and practices: Lithuanian children based in Ireland tend to feel a stronger connection with the majority language (English) than Lithuanian. Meanwhile, children in Norway are multilinguals, having more than two languages in their everyday repertoire. To summarize, the study demonstrated the main language attitudes and practices of Lithuanians abroad and also highlighted some differences between the first and the second generation of Lithuanian migrants. The results from this study might provide interesting insights for future studies in the fields of sociology, sociolinguistics, and diaspora studies.
Multilingualism in Lithuanian Children’s Folklore

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Multilingualism and multiculturalism have always been phenomena present in folklore. Since the last decades of the 20th century, due to changes in lifestyle influenced by factors such as globalization, intense migration, development of social media, and information technologies, manifestations of multilingualism and multiculturalism have become even more noticeable and, in consequence, are becoming an important feature of contemporary folkloric creation. Focusing on a few genres, namely, counting-out rhymes, games, horror stories and horror verses, this article presents and discusses manifestations of multilingualism in Lithuanian children’s folklore. The following are the main research questions that the present study aims to investigate: How does multilingualism manifest in children’s folklore and what functions does it perform? How do children adopt and transmit folklore, i.e. how do they adopt and creatively reinterpret texts and plots, namely, forms and contents from other languages? Which foreign languages have major impact on Lithuanian children’s folklore? The methodology of the research consists of analytical descriptive and comparative analyses. The research has shown that Lithuanian children’s folklore is dynamic and open to other languages and cultures. Children are attracted by linguistic play and feel comfortable with texts containing foreign or unknown words. In Lithuanian folklore, two major influences can be traced: Russian influence, particularly from World War II until the beginning of the 21st century, and influence from English-speaking countries, beginning in the 1990s and continuing to the present. Children translate folklore, sometimes word for word, adapt foreign texts, plots, traditions, take over certain genres, or integrate separate words or phrases from other languages into Lithuanian folklore.
Just Dance? The Economic Effects of the Ultra Europe Music Festival in Split
Authors: Žilić Ivan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper identifies the economic impacts of the Ultra Europe Music Festival, a popular electronic music festival taking place in the city of Split. Using publicly available daily tax data on fiscalised amounts and the number of receipts, we examine the festival’s effects on taxable consumption of accommodation, food and drink services, retail, and taxi services. To isolate the causal effects, we employ two-way difference-in-difference and two-way event study on a daily frequency and county level, with other Dalmatian Adriatic counties as controls. Results reveal temporary positive effects on the consumption of food and drink services, taxi services, and, to a lesser extent, retail. However, no significant impact on accommodation is recorded, arguably due to the prevalence of non-fiscalised accommodation in private households. The positive effects on taxable dimensions of consumption are concentrated on festival days, with spillover effects present on the day following the event.
Structural Decomposition of the Economic Growth in the Croatian Economy
Authors: Mikulić Davor 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Croatia has been falling behind more successful new member states and belongs to the group of the least developed EU economies. After joining the EU, the availability of European structural funds, the removal of all trade barriers, and the strong growth of the tourism sector resulted in accelerating growth rates. This paper aims to decompose the total economic growth in the Croatian economy in the 2010-2018 period into the effect of increasing demand and technology improvements. The study is based on the structural decomposition analysis, which is the extension of the input-output model and has been widely used in previous studies in many economies to identify the driving forces of economic growth over a certain period. Based on empirical results, it can be concluded that the total final demand effects related to the increase in the total expenditures on the total economy level have been three times more intensive than the effects of technological change. It is estimated that the increase in final demand positively affected economic activity in each sector, while the distribution of technological change effects significantly varies. The highest positive impacts of technological change are found in the manufacturing, agri-food, and hospitality sectors. On the other hand, adverse effects of technological change are found in energy products, trade and transport, and various personal and business services. Significant variations are found in the growth dynamics of manufacturing sectors. The highest cumulative growth in 2010-2018 has been recorded in the production of computers and electronics, furniture, machinery and equipment, and wood products. In the case of computers, machinery, and furniture, the main effects are related to the product mix effects. At the same time, the economic growth of the wood industry is primarily the result of technological effects and increased participation in the supply chain of other industries.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the presence of pesticides in green corn grains grown in the northwest region of Paraná, Brazil, and to evaluate their potential toxicological effects on human health, with a focus on food safety.

Theoretical Framework: The state of Paraná, although one of the largest grain producers in Brazil, is also one of the states that consumes the most pesticides. The increasing use of pesticides can lead to serious environmental and health risks.

Method: The samples were collected and analyzed in triplicate in the northwestern region of the state of Paraná. Identification and quantification were carried out by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), using a modified QuEChERS extraction method.

Results and Discussion: The results revealed the presence of 38 extracted chemical substances, 27 of which were chemical compounds present in corn and 11 were contaminant residues. Of these contaminants, 6 pesticides (Pyriproxyfen, p¬-DCB, Atrazine, Benzyl Benzoate, Pendimethalin and 2,4-D), 2 by-products of agricultural activities and pesticides (Naphthalene and Acenaphthene), 2 persistent organic pollutants (Tetrahydro-2,5-dimethoxyfuran, Bisphenol A) and 1 solvent (Mesitylene) were identified. All residues were quantified below the maximum permitted limit.

Research Implications: The implications of this study highlight the relevance of developing analytical methods and strategies that minimize food exposure to chemical contaminants.

Originality/Value: The originality of this work lies in the application of the modified QuEChERS method for the analysis of pesticide residues in corn, contributing to the literature with new data on food contamination and its potential impacts on human health.
Methodological and methodical features of studying the sphere of cultural consumption
Authors: Malinina Kristina Olegovna 
Published: December 2024

This article reveals the theoretical and methodological foundations of studying the sphere of cultural consumption in the region and suggests the methodology of sociological research developed by the author on the presented topic. Analyzing scientific research devoted to the study of the sphere of cultural consumption, the author conducts a theoretical interpretation of the term, considers the main approaches to the study of this sphere, addresses the history of its research and issues of operationalization. Coming to the conclusion that the concept of "cultural consumption" has not yet been unambiguously defined, the researcher proposes to consider cultural services (cultural services) as the main condition for cultural consumption, and, accordingly, to understand cultural consumption as the use of society's achievements in the field of culture, presented in the form of cultural services, to satisfy the cultural needs of society. The author has developed a methodology for sociological research of the sphere of cultural consumption in the region, which is based on a qualitative research paradigm and the method of expert interviews. The author's special contribution to the research of the topic is the methodology he developed. The novelty of the research lies in the author's combined step-by-step methodology of sociological research of the sphere of cultural consumption of the region, which is based on a qualitative research paradigm and the method of expert interviews. The experts in this methodology are structured according to a four-stage system, which allows to evaluate the entire existing structure and look at it both through the eyes of consumers themselves and those who are directly involved in the creation of cultural goods. In addition, the data obtained at each stage of the study provides material for further study of the field, predictive information, and also allows to identify the most effective ways to solve emerging problems. Thus, the presented technique is interesting not only from a scientific, but also from an applied point of view.
The Role of Historical Sources for Identification of Early Photography
Authors: Avetyan Natalia Yu. 
Published: December 2024

The last three decades have been marked by a surge of interest in 19th century photography, which has made it a full-fledged participant of the art market and, more importantly, the subject of research activities of a wide range of specialists: cultural historians, philosophers, art historians, restorers, chemists and physicists. By setting different goals and using the scientific tools of their field of knowledge, they contribute to the understanding and preservation of photography as one of the key components of the historical memory of mankind. To date, Russian scholars have introduced a significant number of new works of early photography into the scientific turnover. The close interest to daguerreotypes from collectors, which led to the increase in prices on the antique market, was largely due to a number of scientific studies, which found expression in publications and the organisation of exhibitions.The present article is devoted to current issues of research practice involving the study, attribution and conservation of photography as a material object. These processes are among the primary tasks of specialists working with arrays of photographic materials of different historical and cultural significance in museums, archives and libraries. The importance of the development and testing of new methods of studying monuments within the framework of the formation of the domestic experience of studying photography is noted.For the first time, the question of the reliability of the approach, due to which written testimonies act as the main sources in the attribution of a monument is raised: often used as a starting point of expertise, they may later (in a comprehensive study) contradict the data of other scientific methods. As a result of the study, contradictions between written historical evidence (textual information) and the data of a complex scientific analysis of early Russian photography have been revealed; a comprehensive methodology for its attribution by museum specialists has been proposed.

В условиях многолетнего стационарного опыта на базе Нижегородского НИИСХ-филиал ФГБНУ ФАНЦ Северо-Востока на светло-серой лесной легкосуглинистой почве изучали эффективность систематического внесения возрастающих доз минеральных удобрений на фоне последействия известкования, проведенного в 1978 г. Результаты наблюдения за динамикой кислотности почвы показали, что длительное применение минеральных удобрений способствует увеличению рН и снижению насыщенности ее основаниями. К 2014 г. гидролитическая кислотность возросла, а сумма поглощенных оснований снизилась. При этом наблюдаемые изменения находятся практически в прямой зависимости от дозы внесения NPK, а последействие известкования исчерпало свои возможности даже по высоким дозам внесения доломитовой муки.
The research conducted in conditions of long-term stationary field trial on basis of the Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute – branch of FSBSO FARC the North-East on light-grey forest light loamy soil. We studied the effectiveness of systematic application of increasing the doses mineral fertilizers on the background of after-effect of liming, performed in 1978. The results of monitoring of soil acidity showed that long-term application of mineral fertilizers increases pH and decreases saturation of soil with bases. To 2014 year, the hydrolytic acidity had increased and the amount of absorbed bases had decreased. At the same time the demonstrated changes are in direct ratio to the doses of NPK. After-effect of liming had exhausted its possibilities even for high doses application of dolomite.

Анализ результатов исследований профильного послойного распределения содержания, запасов общего углерода и азота, соотношения C:N в многолетних опытах, проводимых на серых лесных и черноземных почвах, показал, что как органические, так и минеральные системы удобрения оказывают существенное положительное воздействие на органическое вещество исследуемых почв. Органические системы удобрения влияют на содержание органического вещества почв больше, поскольку действуют как непосредственно, так и косвенно за счет повышения величины биомассы корнивно-пожнивных остатков и корневых выделений возделываемых культур. Минеральные же системы удобрения влияют на содержание органического вещества только косвенно. Изменялось также распределение органического вещества по слоям профиля. При этом во всех исследуемых почвах сохранялись характерные генетические признаки их типичного органопрофиля.
Analysis of the results of studies of the profile layer-by-layer distribution of the content, stocks of total carbon and nitrogen, the C:N ratio in long-term experiments conducted on gray forest and chernozem soils showed that both organic and mineral fertilizer systems have a significant positive effect on the organic matter of the studied soils. Organic fertilizer systems affect the organic matter content of the soil more, because they act both directly and indirectly by increasing the biomass of the root-crop residues and root excretions of cultivated crops. Mineral fertilizer systems affect the content of organic matter only indirectly. The distribution of organic matter in the layers of the profile also changed. But at the same time, all the studied soils preserved the characteristic genetic characteristics of their typical organoprofile.

В условиях вегетационного опыта на дерново-подзолистой почве с разным содержанием подвижного фосфора в течение двух лет изучали действие азотных удобрений на урожай и качество яровой пшеницы сорта Любава. Результаты проведенных исследований показали, что применение азотных удобрений на почве с низким содержанием подвижного фосфора мало эффективно и, напротив, получение более высоких урожаев лучшего качества на почвах с содержанием P2O5>50 мг/кг возможно при меньших затратах азотных удобрений.
The effect of nitrogen fertilizers on the spring wheat crop was studied on sod-podzolic soil with different content of mobile phosphorus in the conditions of vegetation experience for two years. The results of the research showed that using of nitrogen fertilizers on the soil with a low content of mobile phosphorus is not effective. Conversely, obtaining a higher yield of better quality on the soil with P2O5 content of >50 mg/kg is possible at a lower cost of nitrogen fertilizers.
