  • The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai
    The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai By Philip S. Shapiro1 Introduction This work had its genesis in an initiative of the “Alka” Samogitian Museum, which has undertaken projects to recover for Lithuanians the true history of the Jews who lived side-by-side with their ancestors. Several years ago, the Museum received a copy of the 500-plus-page “yizkor” (memorial) book for the Jewish community of Telšiai,2 which was printed in 1984.3 The yizkor book is a collection of facts and personal memories of those who had lived in Telšiai before or at the beginning of the Second World War. Most of the articles are written in Hebrew or Yiddish, but the Museum was determined to unlock the information that the book contained. Without any external prompting, the Museum embarked upon an ambitious project to create a Lithuanian version of The Telshe Book. As part of that project, the Museum organized this conference to discuss The Telshe Book and the Jewish community of Telšiai. This project is of great importance to Lithuania. Since Jews constituted about half of the population of most towns in provincial Lithuania in the 19th Century, a Lithuanian translation of the book will not only give Lithuanian readers a view of Jewish life in Telšiai but also a better knowledge of the town’s history, which is our common heritage. The first part of this article discusses my grandfather, Dov Ber Shapiro, who was born in 1883 in Kamajai, in the Rokiškis region, and attended the Telshe Yeshiva before emigrating in 1903 to the United States, where he was known as “Benjamin” Shapiro.

  • Creative Industries Mapping in Kaunas County
    ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT: 2012. 17 (3) ISSN 2029-9338 (ONLINE) ISSN 1822-6515 (CD-ROM) CREATIVE INDUSTRIES MAPPING IN KAUNAS COUNTY Ugne Daubaraite1, Grazina Startiene2 1Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, [email protected] 2Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.em.17.3.2140 Abstract Creative industries is of increasing importance in the global economy mainly due to the fact that creativity and its employment is accessible to any given country and provides it with a competitive advantage internationally. Creativity is recognized as a key strategic asset driving economic growth as well as determining successful integration into a rapidly changing global economy. Creative industries mapping provides the insight to which regions, counties or counties have the biggest potential and help to determine the factors of creative industries-friendly places. Creative industries mapping is still in the early stage in Lithuania. Since Kaunas region is one of the largest in the country rich in natural and human resources, it generates a fair share of Lithuanian annual GDP. Basing on this, Kaunas region is likely to be one of the leading regions in the development of creative industries, providing people with new employment possibilities, generating added value and attracting domestic and foreign investments. Keywords: creative industries, creative industries mapping, regional development. JEL Classification: R12, Z10, Z11. Introduction Creativity, more than labour and capital, or even traditional technologies, is deeply embedded in every country’s cultural context. Excellence in artistic expression, abundance of talent, and openness to new influences and experimentation are not the privilege of rich countries.

  • Nutritional Habits of Middle-Aged Schoolchildren from Kaunas Town and Raseiniai District

Summary. Objective. To evaluate nutritional habits of middle-aged schoolchildren liv- ing in a town and district of Lithuania. Material and methods. The 8th–9th-grade schoolchildren were questioned by an anony- mous questionnaire. A total of 329 students, 169 from Kaunas and 160 from Raseiniai district, participated in the study. Results. Only half of students reported that they had breakfast (61.3% of schoolboys and 47.6% of schoolgirls). More students from the district had dinner in the school canteen as compared to Kaunas students. Only 14.0% of schoolchildren followed nutrition regimen (14.8% of students from Kaunas and 13.1% of students from Raseiniai always had their meal at the same time). Every second schoolboy and schoolgirl consumed vegetables and fruits every day. Whole grain bread was consumed every day similarly frequently by stu- dents from Kaunas and Raseiniai, 25.4% and 18.8%, respectively; the students from Kaunas consumed skim milk more frequently, 26.0% and 11.9%, respectively (P<0.05). Confection- ery was consumed more frequently by schoolchildren from Kaunas as compared to school- children from Raseiniai district (63.9% vs. 55.0%); however, it was consumed more fre- quently by boys than girls.

  • (1653) in Kėdainiai, Grand Duchy of Lithuania
    Acta Baltica HistoriaeS etHORT Philosophiae COMMUNIC ScientiarumATIONS Vol. 3, No. 1 (Spring 2015) DOI : 10.11590/abhps.2015.1.07 The Publishing of Matthias Held’s Physiologiae clavis (1653) in Kėdainiai, Grand Duchy of Lithuania Alina Šveistytė Violeta Apšegaitė Nature Research Centre Akademijos str. 2, Vilnius–21, LT–08412, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected] Matthias Held’s work Physiologiae clavis (‘Key to physiology’) was printed in Kėdainiai in the middle of the 17th century. Historically, it is noteworthy that the book came into being against the background of a clash between mainstream Catholics and Polish-Lithuanian Protestant (Calvinist) minority. The work is a very remarkable event in two aspects: as Lithuanian cultural heritage and as the first book of physiology published in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL). It is also noteworthy that the book is scientific but not a religious one. The title page indicates that it was printed in Kėdainiai at the Gymnasium Illustre printing house, founded by Joachim Georg Rhet. Let us study the reasons why Held’s book of physiological nature was published in this town. In that period seven printing houses operated in the GDL. Of these seven, the printing house of Vilnius Jesuit Academy boasted the greatest workload (Narbutienė, 2004; Narbutienė & Narbutas, 1998). In the 17th century, the total of 865 books were published in Latin and 818 books were issued in Polish in the GDL (Ivanovič, 1998, p. 7; Narbutienė, 2004, p. 61). There was more than one reason why Held’s book was published namely in Kėdainiai. Primarily, owing to the general cultural environment created by the Biržai-Dubingiai branch of the Radziwiłł family, Janusz Radziwiłł (or Jonušas Radvila in the Lithuanian tradition) in particular.
