Spring water in Vilnius City: chemical composition and quality. Geologija. Vilnius. 2007. No. 60. P. 51–57. ISSN 1392–110X Linas Papievis The marginal moraine areas of continental glaciation are lithologically notable for great variations in surface deposits. If such Quaternary deposits are deeply cut by river valleys and ravines, their slopes and terraces make favourable conditions for groundwater to be exposed and to form springs. Most often such springs are of a falling type, i. e. water streams under the influence of gravitation. In the ancient times people used spring water for drinking and preparation of food, since it was clean and tasty. Such an image of spring water has remained up to the present days, although due to increased pollution of the environment, the water of such springs can be both good and bad. Regardless of this, people bring it to their homes thinking that spring water is of a better quality than that provided by the municipal water supply. Such practice is also widely exercised in Vilnius, where the geomorpho- logical conditions are favourable for springs to be formed. Therefore, Hydrology and Engineering Geol- ogy Department of Vilnius University have analysed the chemical composition of the city spring waters and assessed their quality in respect of the quality of water suitable for drinking. Key words: spring, groundwater, chemical composition, pollution Received 15 May 2007, accepted 05 July 2007 Vytautas Juodkazis, Linas Papievis.

Nusikalstamumo Pasiskirstymas Vilniaus Mieste
Nusikalstamumo pasiskirstymas Vilniaus mieste: Visuomenės nuomonės ir registruotos statistikos santykis ĮŽANGA Tyrimo objektas pasirinktas susidomėjus, kokiąįtaką žmonių apsisprendimui dėl gyvenamosios vietos turi juos supanti išorinė aplinka ir, deja, vienas iš neatskiriamų jos elementų – nusikalstamumas. Praėjusiame šimtmetyje populiarios ekologinės teorijos sekėjai pastebėjo, kad žmonių bendruomenės, ypač laisvosios rinkos sąlygomis, yra panašios į gamtos struktūrą, kur kiekviena dalis nuolat sąveikauja su kitomis, kiekvienas kovoja už išlikimą, ir visur išlaikoma dinamiška pusiausvyra. Šios teorijos pagrindu tyrimo vykdytojai sudarė mikrorajonų grupes ir apklausos pagalba tyrė visuomenės nuomonę mikrorajonų specifikos ir nusikalstamumo lygio sąveikos klausimais. Šio tyrimo vykdytojai nesiekė nustatyti tam tikrų dėsningumų, o vykdė pažintinį tyrimą, kurio vienas iš pagrindinių tikslų – nustatyti, ar mikrorajono neigiamas įvaizdis yra formuojamas realiai egzistuojančio aukšto nusikalstamumo lygio, o gal tai išankstinio gyventojų nusistatymo pasekmė. TIKSLAS: Nustatyti santykį tarp visuomenės nuomonės ir registruotos statistikos nusikalstamumo pasiskirstymo Vilniaus mieste klausimu. BŪDAI: • Individuali apklausa remiantis atsitiktinių respondentų nuomone; • Ekspertinis vertinimas; • Statistinis metodas.

Dynamics of National Composition of Vilnius Population in the 2Nd Half of the 20Th Century
BULLETIN OF GEOGRAPHY SOCIO–ECONOMIC SERIES No. 13/2010 SAULIUS STANAITIS, DARIUS ČESNAVIČIUS VILNIUS PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY, LITHUANIA DYNAMICS OF NATIONAL COMPOSITION OF VILNIUS POPULATION IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10089-010-0003-4 ABSTRACT. The article presents changes of national composition of Vilnius population in the 2nd half of the 20th century. The changes of Vilnius population are analyzed with respect to nationality, including the smallest territorial administrative units of Vilnius. The growth of the city population was associated with an intensive all- round city development. Based on the data of the censuses of 1989 and 2001, the article focuses on the dynamics of national composition, which took place after the restoration of independence. The analysis encompasses not only the intensity of dynamics of different nationalities but also the portion of national minorities residing in Vilnius (Poles and Russians in particular) on a country scale. KEY WORDS: Lithuania, Vilnius, Lithuanians, Poles, Russians, population dynamic in Vilnius, national groups of Vilnius population, national composition of Vilnius population. INTRODUCTION AND SELECTION OF STATISTICAL DATA Vilnius is Lithuania‘s capital but also the largest city of the country and its main centre of economic, political, and cultural life. The past of the capital, like that of the country in general, was difficult and included many tragic periods. The first half of the 20th century was especially hard time for the city. It was devastated by two world wars, and suffered tsarist Soviet occupations. The administrative status of the city, political system, and the number of population changed a few times.

With an ever-increasing scale of construction and manufacturing and misuse of energy resources come poorer air quality, growing mortality rates and more rapid climate change. For these reasons, a healthy and safe built environment is ever more in demand. Global debates focus on sustainable development of the built environment; a rational approach to its analysis is multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. Alternative MCDM methods applied to the same problem often produce different results. In the search for a more reliable tool, this study proposes that a system of MCDM methods should be applied to a single problem.

Pasivaikščiojimai Po Vilnių Ir Jo Apylinkes
Adomas Honoris Kirkoras PASIVAIKŠČIOJIMAI PO VILNIŲ IR JO APYLINKES PASIVAIKŠČIOJIMAI PO VILNIŲ Norite mintimis grįžti į prabėgusius metus? Norite pažinti senojo Šventaragio miesto praeitį? Vilniuje sulig kiekvienu žingsniu užtiksite ką nors įdomaus, pamokomo, kas primins jums šlovingus lietuvių žygius, atvers dorybių ir nuopelnų, ydų ir aistrų kupiną jų gyvenimo knygą. Vilnius – tai gyva senosios Lietuvos kronika, jos buvusios šlovės ir nuosmukių liudytojas. Vilnius laimingesnis ir turtingesnis už kitus mūsų miestus, nes juo domėjosi keli žymūs ir garbingi istorikai bei tyrėjai, su kuriais mes anaiptol nedrįstame varžytis; tačiau kaip tik todėl, kad apie Vilnių tiek daug rašyta, nuomonės apie vieną ir tą patį dalyką dažnai nesutampa, geidaujančiam pažinti mūsų miesto senovę reikėtų perskaityti daug kūrinių, perversti gausybę tomų. Tad mes ketiname bent prabėgomis apžvelgti Vilniaus praeitį, palydėti skaitytoją siauromis ir kreivomis jo gatvelėmis, aprodyti mūsų bažnyčias, kapines, kur guli palaidota šitiek šlovingų veikėjų, kur žlugo šitiek vilčių, senus mūsų namus, su kuriais susiję tiek prisiminimų... Kad šis veikalėlis būtų kiekvienam suprantamas ir taptų rodykle arba vadovu, mums, atrodo, geriausia suskirstyti miestą dalimis keletui pasivaikščiojimų, kurių metu lydėsime skaitytoją ir atkreipsime jo dėmesį į vertingiausius dalykus. Esame pasirengę išklausyti labai teisingų priekaištų dėl to, kad ne visada nurodome šaltinius, ypač tada, kai mūsų pasakojimas nesutampa su vienu ar kitu veikalu apie Vilnių. Tačiau tokia knyga, neturinti tikslios istorinės formos, nepretenduoja tapti mokslo veikalu. Mes pateikiame skaitytojui ne istoriją, ne kroniką, o pasivaikščiojimus. Tačiau jaučiame pareigą pasakyti, kad, be žinomų ir labai mums brangių Kraševskio ir Balinskio veikalų apie Vilnių, Vilniaus universiteto profesoriaus Mykolo Homolickio mokslinių straipsnių, Narbuto, Kraševskio ir Jaroševičiaus Lietuvos istorijų, taip pat daugelio kitų spausdintų kūrinių, pasinaudojome kun.
