Some of the white Pines on Fair Haven Hill have just reached the acme of their fall;–others have almost entirely shed their leaves, and they are scattered over the ground and the walls. The same is the state of the Pitch pines. At the Cliffs I find the wasps prolonging their short lives on the sunny rocks just as they endeavored to do at my house in the woods. It is a little hazy as I look into the west today. The shrub oaks on the terraced plain are now almost uniformly of a deep red. HDT WHAT?

  • The Political and Social Consequences of Romas Kalanta's
    A Death Transformed: The Political and Social Consequences of Romas Kalanta’s Self Immolation, Soviet Lithuania, 1972 Amanda Jeanne Swain A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Glennys Young, Chair James Felak Guntis Smidchens Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History © Copyright 2013 Amanda Jeanne Swain University of Washington Abstract A Death Transformed: The Political and Social Consequences of Romas Kalanta’s Self Immolation, Soviet Lithuania, 1972 Amanda Jeanne Swain Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Glennys Young History “A Death Transformed: The Political and Social Consequences of Romas Kalanta’s Self- Immolation, Soviet Lithuania, 1972” explores Soviet and post-Soviet interpretive narratives and political practices in response to two days of street demonstrations that followed the 1972 suicide of a nineteen-year-old man in Soviet Lithuania. My analysis reveals that Communist authorities and participating youth viewed the demonstrations as a struggle over the acceptable boundaries and content of modern Soviet youth culture. Despite extensive evidence that by 1972 youth were actively negotiating the boundaries of what were acceptable activities, Communist authorities and young people operated within an ideological framework that denied young people’s capacity to express discontent with the Soviet system. In post-Communist Lithuania, social and political elites constructed narratives of May 1972 that reclaimed agency by representing the demonstrations alternatively as nationalist dissent, civil resistance or Sixties-style youth protest. The diversity of narratives reflected on-going debates about the nature of post-Communist Lithuanian identity. This work seeks to make significant contributions to the historiography of the Soviet Union and to scholarship on the politics of memory and European integration.

  • Attitudes Towards Suicide Among Regional Politicians in Lithuania, Austria, Hungary, Norway and Sweden
    Suicidology Online 2010; 1:79-87. ISSN 2078-5488 Original Research Attitudes towards suicide among regional politicians in Lithuania, Austria, Hungary, Norway and Sweden Paulius Skruibis1, Danute Gailiene1, Heidi Hjelmeland2,3, Reinhold Fartacek4, Sandor Fekete5, Birthe Loa Knizek2, Peter Osvath5, Ellinor Salander Renberg6, Rudolf R. Rohrer4 1 Vilnius University, Lithuania 2 Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway 3 Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway 4 Paracelsus University, Salzburg, Austria 5 University of Pècs, Hungary 6 Umeå University, Sweden Submitted to SOL: 2nd May 2010; accepted: 19th September 2010; published: 25th September Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare attitudes towards suicide among regional politicians in five European countries, namely Austria, Hungary, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden. Attitudes of politicians are important as they are key persons in a suicide prevention context. All these countries differ significantly with respect to suicide rates and suicide prevention strategies. Previous research has shown that more permissive attitudes towards suicide are prevalent in countries with higher rates of suicide. Thus, we would expect that regional politicians in these countries would hold rather different attitudes towards suicide. The Attitudes Towards Suicide questionnaire (ATTS) was employed in the study. The results indicated that the acceptance of suicide was higher among Lithuanian, Hungarian and Austrian politicians (high suicide rate, no national prevention strategies), than among Norwegian and Swedish politicians (relatively low suicide rates, national prevention strategies). The same split in attitudes between low and high suicide rate areas was found concerning preparedness to help a person in a suicidal crisis. The only significant difference between male and female politicians was found with respect to perceived preventability of suicide, with male politicians being slightly more optimistic than female politicians.

  • Suicidal Behaviors Among Adolescents in Lithuania; Is Bullying a Key Player?
    Suicidal Behaviors Among Adolescents in Lithuania; Is Bullying a Key Player? MGH301: Epidemiology and biostatistics with special reference to social epidemiology Introduction Suicide is a public health problem worldwide, and one of the leading causes of death among adolescents (Zaborkis, Ilionsky & Heinz, 2018, WHO 2018a). Lithuania has the highest suicide mortality rate in the world, 31.9 per 100 000 population compared to a region average of 15.4, and high rate of suicide among adolescents (WHO 2018b). Another public health concern in Lithuania is the high levels of bullying among adolescents (Strukcinskiene, Andersson, & Janson, 2011). Bullying can be both physically and mentally and lead to both physical and mental health issues (Hertz, Donato, & Wright, 2013; Rivers 2013). Bullying can occur both in a specific environment and on the internet and social media anonymously (Zaborkis, Ilionsky, Tesler & Heinz, 2018; Mark et al., 2013). Research has shown a significant association between bullying and suicidality (Hertz, Donato, & Wright, 2013; Rivers 2013) Previous research on suicide in Lithuania (and Eastern Europe) has focused the role of the Soviet Union and the structural changes in post-Soviet countries (Minagawa, 2012), and on socioeconomic factors related to the recession in 2008 (Stankunas, Lindert, Avery, & Sorensen, 2013), as well as the role of the family (Zaborkis et al., 2018; Mark et al, 2013). To date no research has focused solely on the association between bullying and suicidality in Lithuania. This study will contribute to filling this gap and add to the body of research on suicide in Lithuania. For the purpose of this study the main outcome is suicide ideation as it is a significant precursor of suicide (Mark et al, 2013).
