In the focus of attention, there is the postwar period in the history of Kalkūne civil parish (1946–1948). This period of time is marked by Stalin totalitarianism and reveals the attempts of local authorities to strengthen communist regime in Latvia during the initial period of the second Soviet occupation of Latvia. The empirical basis of the paper is formed by archival documents that are kept in Daugavpils Regional State Archives – a structural unit of the Latvian National Archives. The most important record group encompasses the documents of Kalkūne Parish Council (record group No. 6, Daugavpils Regional state Archives), since this municipality conducted Sovietization in Kalkūne district. Moreover, Kalkūne Parish Council supervised the work of other state and municipal organizations in the district.

ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER LATVIAN SPORTSPEOPLE REPRESENTATION IN ENGLISH AND LATVIAN WIKIPEDIAS Ieva Rudzinska Latvian Academy of Sport Education Address: 333 Brivibas Street, Riga, LV-1006, Latvia Phone: 37167543445, fax: +37167543480 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The goal was to study Latvian sportspeople representation in English and Latvian Wikipedias in 2015. The analyses allowed identifying three main Latvian sportspeople related categories in English Wikipedia: “Latvian sportspeople”, “List of Latvian sportspeople” and “Latvian sports related lists”, a category “Latvijas sportisti” in Latvian Wikipedia. In “Latvian sportspeople” 1018 sportspeople were listed by family names, starting with Artis Ābols and ending with Ainārs Zvirgzdiņš, by sports – from Latvian alpine skiers to Latvian weightlifters. In “List of Latvian sportspeople” were included 99 most notable Latvian sportspeople, representing 24 sports. The largest athlete frequency per sport (14) was in 3 sports: athletics, basketball and luge. From 5 to 10 sportspeople were in 6 sports: rowing, bobsleigh, volleyball, ice hockey, judo and tennis, 15 sports were represented by 1 to 4 athletes. In Latvian Wikipedia in the category “Latvijas sportisti” were 1186 sportspeople from 38 sports. Statistical analysis allowed finding moderate Pearson correlations between the numbers of sportspeople in the category “Latvian sportspeople” and “List of Latvian sportspeople”, EN (0.60; Sig.<0.01); “List of Latvian sportspeople”,

    Competitive Identity for Nation of Latvia – Lessons to Learn from National Hockey Team ‘’Dinamo Riga’’

    ISSN 1822 – 8402 EUROPEAN INTEGRATION STUDIES. 2010. No 4 COMpETITIVE IDEnTITY fOR nATIOn Of LATVIA – LESSOnS TO LEARn fROM nATIOnAL HOCKEY TEAM ‘’DInAMO RIGA’’ Ainars Brencis, Juris Ozols School of Business Administration Turiba Abstract nowadays global competition could be seen not only in corporate level, but also is exists among nations. Competition among nations is in following sectors – foreign investment, export and tourism. As there is competition between nations, regions and cities (as it is among corporations) there will be always need for methods to increase subject’s competitiveness – this can be defined as a Competitive Identity (porter 1998). Term Competitive Identity is used as broader expression of brand management for nations, Cities and Regions. Higher marketing effort is needed for developing (emerging) nations, and nations without resources (natural or man made) representing absolute advantages. nation branding has emerged relatively recently as an important field in the domain of international marketing. Anholt 2007 states marketing quality depends on all the national stakeholders (virtually society – people) working together in creating competitive identity. Media could be involved only after all the stakeholders speak one language about their country. Communication can’t substitute positive change; it can only help change to happen faster. Latvian authorities too often start from the least efficient – communication. According to nation Brands Index (NBI) and City Brand Barometer, Latvia and its capital Riga, shares one of the last places – 35 to 40th (depending on research type and year) place from forty among other nations and cities around the World. After regaining independence and collapse of almost all the industry, there was little left for positioning Latvia as a nation, so fanning for ice hockey was spontaneous and very convenient way for local people to speak common language about their nation.

  • Transport Infrastructure Development Performance

    Transport Infrastructure Development Performance

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 178 ( 2017 ) 319 – 329 16th Conference on Reliability and Statistics in Transportation and Communication, RelStat’2016, 19-22 October, 2016, Riga, Latvia Transport Infrastructure Development Performance Oksana Skorobogatova, Irina Kuzmina-Merlino* Transport and Telecommunication Institute, 1 Lomonosova str., Riga, LV-1019, Latvia Abstract Transport infrastructure is an integral part of the transport system of any city or state. In connection with the development of society and intensification of international relations due to the globalization processes, the importance of transport as a factor for economic and social development has enhanced. Various aspects of the activities related to the development of transport infrastructure have increasingly become the objects of scientific researches. Transportation as an economic factor is a measure of economic activity and at the same time transportation is a reflection of economic activity. So, the questions about transport infrastructure performance measurement and relationship between transport infrastructure and economic growth are the subjects for discussions in both academic and non-academic circles. This paper highlights the role of the transportation industry in economic development of Latvia, describes the concept of transport infrastructure as an important part of the state transport system, and estimates the employed international approaches to the measurement of performance of transport infrastructure development. The article focuses on the necessity for the development of the methodology of measuring the transport infrastructure performance, that should be applied systematically and that would be generally helpful to all responsible people making transportation-related decisions. © 20172017 The The Authors.

UNITED NATIONS United Nations Economic Commission for Europe The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is one of the five United Nations regional commissions administered by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It was established in 1947 with the mandate to help rebuild post‐war Europe, develop economic activity and strengthen economic relations among European countries, and between Europe and the rest of the world. During the Cold War, UNECE served as a unique forum for economic dialogue and cooperation between East and West. Despite the complexity of this period, significant achievements were made, with consensus reached on numerous harmonization and standardization agreements. In the post Cold War era, UNECE acquired not only many new Member States, but also new functions. Since the early 1990s the organization has focused on analyses of the transition process, using its harmonization experience to facilitate the integration of Central and Eastern European countries into the global markets. UNECE is the forum where the countries of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and North America, 56 countries in all, come together to forge the tools of their economic cooperation. That cooperation concerns economics, statistics, environment, transport, trade, sustainable energy, timber and habitat. The Commission offers a regional framework for the elaboration and harmonization of conventions, norms and standards. The Commission's experts provide technical assistance to the countries of South‐East Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The advantages of the region are its relief, nature, clean air and wonderful people. Next to the Baltic Country of Lakes lies a country with a poetic name “Bella Dvina”. This country is located in the area where the river Dvina – Daugava flows, which is well known since ancient times for the trade route “from Varangians to Greeks”. Looking at the map, one can conclude, that inhabitants of three countries – Russia, Belarus and Latvia – can consider the Western Dvina for their own. Its flow begins in Russia, and goes through Belarus. As it flows into Latvia, it is no longer Dvina, but rather Daugava, which then flows into the Baltic Sea. Active tourism throughout the year, fascinating cultural events, and picturesque sceneries – all of this comprises a unique mosaic, which provides true visual and aesthetical enjoyment. We offer you to get acquainted with the Baltic Country of Lakes – Latgale in Latvia, Aukštaitija in Lithuania, as well as the “Bella Dvina” region, which includes Latgale in Latvia and part of Vitebsk region in Belarus.
