If there are problems, there have to be solutions to the problems as well. Scientists and researchers are those who have to identify the causes, to project potential consequences and to find rational solutions to the problems. Scientists persistently apply new methods and technologies in their research, which allows conducting the research in a qualitative way and achieving credible results. In number 9 of the journal, the authors of papers focus on such urgent problems as optimal routes among municipal education institutions in Rezekne municipality, development of accommodation services in Rezekne city, the market of local Rezekne artisans, territorial marketing for seaports of the Baltic Sea region, competitiveness of Latvian social networks, theoretical aspects of innovation for overcoming crises, theoretical and practical aspects of small and medium enterprises, factors that affect customer satisfaction and others. The editorial board believes that our journal, too, made, makes and will make its contribution to economic growth in Latgale, Latvia and the entire European Union. The research papers can be useful to professionals who are interested in various social science problems and solutions to the problems, and to university teaching staff, master and doctoral students, researchers and company representatives. The editorial board wants to mention that a range of authors emerged whose papers have been published in several or even in all the nine issues of the journal and looks forward to further cooperation with the authors as well as would be glad to expand the range of authors, dealing with new urgent problems and their solutions. The editorial board thanks the authors of papers, the peer reviewers and the cooperation partners for their contribution to the journal. Dr.oec.

Science is essential to meet objectives and tasks for ethical sustainable development, as it lays the basics of new methods and technologies to identify global challenges for the future. Science can also significantly contribute to the ethics of sustainable development. It requires a wide-ranging understanding of science as such. Scientific cooperation should be encouraged in order to provide the ethics of sustainability. The aim of research is to give guiding principles of science for the ethics of sustainable development. The tasks of the research are to describe the ethical context of sustainability and to mark the role of science in the ethics of sustainable development. The methods of research are monographic, quantitative, deductive and inductive. The key result is: the drowned up science role for sustainable ethical development. Science is a crucial tool for the ethics of sustainable development, it is even more reasonable to allocate the mission of science education and provide people with tools which allow them to maintain a critical spirit related to scientific advances. Keywords: ethics, sustainability, development, science, pillars of sustainability. JEL code: D63, Q56, I38, F63. Introduction In line with humanity’s present stage of development, the main contests of science in the 21st century relate to population growth and urbanization; global and regional environmental changes; the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity; social disparities and living conditions of population. These statements are closely connected with sustainable development. Addressing all these challenges to the background of sustainable development requires breaking away from disciplinary limitations and establishing science-and- technology policies which stimulate global partnership and endorse the defragmentation and sharing of knowledge. The ethical aspects of sustainability often remain implicit as most analyses focus on the economic, social, environmental and technical issues. Ethical context in the term of sustainability is considered as taking into account not only effectiveness, but also moral values and goals. Sustainability cannot be achieved without paying attention to its ethical dimensions. The aim of research is to give guiding principles of science for the ethics of sustainable development. The tasks of the research are to describe the ethical context of sustainability and to mark the role of science in the ethics of sustainable development. The methods of research are monographic, © Rezekne Academy of Technologies, 2017 DOI: 10.17770/lner2017vol1.9.2454 quantitative, deductive and inductive. The key result is: the drowned up science role for sustainable ethical development. Firstly, this paper clarifies the ethical context of sustainability. Secondly, it outlines the role of science in the ethics of sustainable development. These discussions clarify the questions of great significance for specialists and scientists, as well as politicians, non-governmental organizations and other citizens who search for a more sustainable

  • Discover Bauska! the History of the Town of Bauska
    Discover Bauska! The history of the town of Bauska The small and quiet town of Bauska, which has always been associated with its nearness to trade routes, continues the tradition of trying to greet and welcome travellers. Pilsmiests, also known as Vairogmiests, originated in the middle of the 15th century, on the peninsula between the Mūsa and Mēmele rivers, next to the newly built Fortress of the Livonian Order. It was a safe place of residence for the landlords of the area, to whom the Master of the Livonian Order allotted the conquered lands. In 1518, Master Walter von Plettenberg issued a decree to build a church on the peninsula, named after St. Gertrude. During this time, the formation of a merchant settlement was taking place near the ford of the Mēmele, at the place where merchants and travellers crossed the river. After the founding of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, during the second half of the 16th century, Bauska experienced the greatest flourishing in its history, albeit for a short time, becoming both the administrative centre of the Duchy with the Duke’s place of residence in the Bauska Castle, and an important trade point through which the road from Lithuania to Riga passed. In 1584, Duke Gothard Kettler, decided that his place of residence in Vairogmiests had become too confined and he made up his mind to move to a new part of the town on the banks of the river Mēmele. Already before that, the territorial arrangement works were performed. In 1573, the Church of the Holy Trinity was built for the Latvian congregation.
