Dalia Grybauskaitė, President of the Republic of Lithuania Lithuania understands that investing into innovation is key not only to our country but also to Europe because it promotes competitiveness, accelerates economic growth and creates jobs for enterprising people. We are firmly on the path of innovation in pursuit of new and innovative business models. We encourage and support cooperation between enterprises, closer partnership between business and science, transfer of research results to commercialization. EU funds are also allocated to boost business interest in innovation. The recent rapid development of information and communication technologies, biotechnologies, clean technologies, mechatronics and lasers is essential to promoting Lithuania’s economic growth and increasing its competitiveness in a global perspective. New clusters emerging in these sectors are the result of smart interaction based on international business expertise which enhances the capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises to integrate into international markets and offers new opportunities for exports. Lithuania is making decisive and consistent efforts to develop as an innovative nation, to be visible on the world map of business and science, and to be open to future developments.

  • Developing a Serious Game As a Tool for Collecting Data on Food Waste Behavior
    Developing a serious game as a tool for collecting data on food waste behavior Christiaan Verloop Supervisor dr. A.M. Schaafstal Critical observer dr. J. Zwiers Creative Technology, University of Twente July 20, 2018 Abstract A third of all produced food is wasted worldwide, much of which occurs at the consumer. Traditional research methods on food waste behavior have proven unreliable. Hence, new methods are being tested. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities of using a serious game as a tool for collecting data on food waste behavior. To this end, a game is devised, developed and evaluated to ultimately answer the questions; How can a serious game collect realistic data on food waste behavior? What data needs to be collected from the game, and how should the data be saved and formatted to be useful to the client? The first chapter explains the origin and the context of the assignment. The second chapter explores the state of the art on serious games and data collection. In the third chapter, multiple ideas are devised after which one is chosen to be developed further. In the fourth chapter the chosen idea is specified, both in terms of gameplay, and in terms of data collection. Next is a description of the realization phase of this project, this includes the game, the data collection, and the documentation. In the next chapter, the game is evaluated with the use of two user tests. Finally, the paper concludes that the data collection and storage were a suitable solution for the developed game, however, it also concludes that the developed game is not a reliable tool for collecting realistic data on food waste behavior.

The good vibes and learning points from the PEGI Congress in November 2010 were taken along into the new year and put to good use. PEGI is well established as the standard system for the “traditional” boxed game market as a trusted source of information for parents and other consumers. We have almost reached the point where PEGI is only unknown to parents if they deliberately choose to ignore video games entirely. A mistake, since practically every child or teenager in Europe enjoys video games. Promoting an active parental involvement in the gaming experiences of their children is a primary objective for PEGI, which situates itself at the heart of that.

Is a new generation of Lithuanians becoming increasingly interested in new technologies? I believe all these questions can be answered with a definite “yes”. However, another question arises: does the ability to answer these questions provide us with a firm confidence in the well-being of creative and cultural industries and the flourishing of what has been dubbed the “creative economy”? I would not be so quick to state this. If I had to highlight one essential precondition for the prosperity of the Dr. ArūnAs GelūnAs creative and culture industries, it would be cooperation and networking. Even Minister of Culture of the though one has to accept the classical truth Republic of Lithuania that in most cases creative talent resides in the soul of an individual, there is also rich evidence to support the opinion that it usually takes more than one individual for a creative idea to become a part of the creative economy. It should be mentioned that due to different historical, economical, and social factors, the managerial and entrepreneurial skills of a number of creative people in Lithuania were lacking, which also applies to their willingness to cooperate with National Association of Creative and Cultural Industries in Lithuania managers and entrepreneurs.

    QUALITY PROBLEMS OF LITHUANIAN CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 1 2 Michail Samofalov , Vytautas Papinigis Vilnius Gediminas Technical University,1 Saulėtekio2 ave. 11, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. General situation in civil engineering design documentation is reviewed in this paper. Some characteristic mistakes in design are presented. Authors using their experience in engineering examination of real structural designs, discuss statistical data of the latest years. An attempt to improve engineering solutions using analysis of inaccuracies in design documentation and suggestion of new methods for its developmement, instead of creation of new theories and methods of structural analysis, is made. Such an approach in engineering is less popular as time and resourses for its implementation are required. Nevertheless, this method of solution for the problem of technical product quality and qualification of specilists is more correct. Finally, conclusions about quality as well as conditions for designers and recommendations for developent of national design codes are made. Keywords: quality, examination, design, documentation.
