In its broadest sense, the notion of security affects each and every member of society. At the age when the majority of borders are open in the direct and indirect sense of the word, the possibilities of humans and technologies become increasingly limitless. However, these opportunities are often not directed positively, but are rather targeted at causing harm to others. In this case, we can talk about both: sensitive migration issues and acts of terror, as well as about human interrelationships in general. It is no secret that we feel at our best in an environment, which is comfortable to us. Thus, any larger or smaller disturbance creates a sense of alarm due to the feeling of threat to one’s own security as well as the desire to protect oneself. Security (being secure, protected against failures, fears, aggression) occupies a prominent second place in Abraham Maslow’s pyramid of the basic human needs, closely following such physiological needs as food, sleep, rest and others. Therefore, paying attention to even the tiniest potential threats is a priority for everyone and generating response taken at an individual level and organisational level. By starting already with the historical development of security throughout centuries and ending with cybersecurity, the book addresses issues related to individual security and the security of organisations. The articles provide an insight into the notion of security, its concepts in the global world, ethical issues of security, risk and quality management and leadership. They also address issues of physical guarding services, Schengen Area, fire safety, video 5 INTRODUCTION surveillance and others. A separate chapter is devoted to security training as well as crime prevention, whistleblowers and cybersecurity. The book has been developed as part of the “Development of Society and Organisation Security Programmes 2017” project (Project No. NPHE-2017/10115) and has brought together authors from three institutions of higher learning - Turiba University (Latvia), Kazimieras Simonavičius University (Lithuania) and Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Finland). It aims to clarify various issues related to the security of individuals and organisations and targets everyone interested in gaining insight into various security-related issues from the perspective of scientists and practitioners of Latvia, Lithuania and Finland. However, it should be noted that those interested in in-depth studies of security would require further reading, since the book does not aim at becoming a comprehensive source of information on all subjects, but rather provides an insight,

Part One gives an outline of the known history of the Livonian language, the history of research into it, and of its own relations with its closest geographical neighbour, Latvian, a linguistically unrelated Indo-European language. A state of Latvian/Livonian bilingualism has existed for virtually all of the Livonians' (or Livs') recorded history, and certainly for the past two centuries. Part Two consists of a Descriptive Grammar of the present- day Livonian language as recorded in an extensive corpus provided by one speaker.

  • Baltic Museology School 2004
    Baltic Museology School 2004 Sunday June 27 Kremerata Baltica festival Participants were invited to a concert of Shostakovich and Shnittke given by Kremerata Baltica in the 18th century Turaida Church. Opening ceremony at Turaida Castle The Director, Janis Garjans, welcomed everyone. He introduced Dr Hans-Martin Hinz, Chair of ICOM Europe, who spoke of the great changes in Europe and the continuing need to reintegrate the former East and West. He stressed the role of museums in explaining our and others’ culture and in celebrating common values, and he wished everyone ‘days of inspiration’. The State Secretary at the Ministry of Culture, Daniels Pavluts, spoke of the special role of cultural heritage in a changing society, of society’s need to access both material and non- material heritage, and the need for innovation. He hoped the BMS would become an annual event. After a glass of wine, the presentation of Sigulda walking-sticks, and a group photograph, a buffet supper was offered at the Administration building of the Turaida Museum Reserve, hosted by Anna Jurkane. There followed a tour of Gutmanis Cave, Knights’ Stronghold and New Sigulda Castle, led by Ilga Korklisa. Monday June 28 Contributions from participants Each participant was invited to give a brief presentation on his or her museum, its strengths and achievements. These made clear what a rich variety of museums was represented, and how greatly they varied not only in size, subject and governance, but in their underlying purpose and emphasis. Moreover, the roles participants played within their museums also varied very much.

  • And the Historical and Linguistic Border Between Livonians and Estonians
    / LINGUISTICA URALICA XLV 2009 4 doi:10.3176 lu.2009.4.02 URMAS SUTROP KARL PAJUSALU (Tallinn—Tartu), (Tartu) MEDIEVAL LIVONIAN COUNTY METSEPOLE AND THE HISTORICAL AND LINGUISTIC BORDER BETWEEN LIVONIANS AND ESTONIANS The article focuses on the issue of the northern border of Metsepole iAnbtshteraCct h. ronicle of Henry of Livonia and in two earlier treaties from the 13th century. The paper analyzes the treatment of the medieval status of the Coastal Southern Pärnumaa in historical tradition. Linguistic evidence of the contacts of Salaca Livonian with the neighbouring Pärnumaa dialects is studied. It is shown that the common features may either be the result of the common origin of the Estonian Pärnumaa dialects and the Livonian language in prehistoric times, or they are brought to light by language contacts and reveal adstratum phenomena. The Livonian substratum in the coastal dialect of southern Pärnu- maa is a matter of debate in the case of some morphosyntactic similarities. Livonian, Estonian, language contacts, history, Metsepole. Keywords: 1. Introduction Fifteen years ago, Enn Tarvel, a famous Estonian historian wrote that there was still an urgent need to study the Livonian settlement history even if ”The borders of ethnic territories of the Livonian tribes in the 13th century are indeed very well defined on the basis of the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia, and the documents and records from the 13th to 15th centuries”. The results of the [former] research are summarized in the fundamental work by A. Bielenstein (1892). According to Tarvel, nothing new has been written on the settlement history during the past hundred years (1995 : 58).

    Līgatne, Sigulda, Turaida Day tour on 08.07.2018. 9:00 start of day Excursion in Secret soviet bunker. In the territory of the rehabilitation centre Līgatne, 9 m underground, there is a well-equipped facility with a total area of 2,000 sq.m, whose secrecy grading was removed only in 2003. The bunker was built during the Cold War when the Soviet Union maintained constant high alert for a Western attack, more specifically a nuclear assault from the United States. It is hard to imagine, though, how the elite of Soviet Latvia would have been rushed to the bunker in a few minutes, given that the distance from Riga to Ligatne is 75 kilometers. This makes one suspect that the bunker might have been used also in case a nuclear war launched by the Soviet Union. The bunker was supplied with everything necessary to survive severa months after a nuclear fallout. 13:00 Lunch in Secret soviet bunker - LKP CK first secretariat lunch (chocolate truffle, soup, shnitzel with bone and additives, desert, hot drink) Walking tour in Sigulda is one of the most picturesque towns in Latvia with splendid views of the primeval valley of the River Gauja.
