Body length of Lithuanian newborns (M = 52.6 cm, SD = 2.5) was higher than length of Russian, Ukrainian and Romanian newborns. Some statistically significant differences in body size of newborns from different ethnic groups were established. The comparison of body size of newborns' data from the different countries showed that Lithuanian newborns were among the biggest babies. The analysis of socio-economic and demographic indicators of Lithuania, and the comparison of Gross Domestic Product of various countries was performed. Comparison of the present Lithuanian data with other newborn studies was made. The present results were based on data (N = 18,084) from the Vilnius University Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The purpose of this study was to analyse body size indices of newborns in Vilnius city ( Lithuania) during 2005-2010 in relation with mother's education and ethnicity, and in parallel with the changes of socio-economic situation during the recent years. Tutkuviene, Janina Morkuniene, Ruta Bartkute, Karolina Drazdiene, Nijole Most of the participants were senior education…īody size of newborns in relation to mother's ethnicity and education: a pilot study from Vilnius City ( Lithuania), 2005-2010. This was to be achieved through an exchange on principles, approaches and methodologies that inform processes of curriculum reform in life skills education. The main objectives of a Vilnius, Lithuania, seminar were to share experiences in curriculum reform to promote life skills for social inclusion.
Final Report of the Regional Seminar ( Vilnius, Lithuania, December 5-8, 2001). The lack of a clear legislationĬurriculum Change and Social Inclusion: Perspectives from the Baltic and Scandinavian Countries. This is especially evident in the Vilnius city and is a consequence of the uncontrolled urban development. This shows that Natura 2000 surrounding areas in Vilnius region are subjected to a high urban pressure. Overall, urban areas occupied approximately 50 km2, in the buffer area of 500 m, 95 km2 in buffer area of 1000 m and 131 km2 in the buffer area of 1500 km2. This can represent a major threat to Natura 2000 areas ecosystem services quality and biodiversity. However, the urban areas are very dispersed in the territory, especially in the surroundings of Vilnius, which since the end of the XX century is growing (Pereira et al., 2014). The Natura 2000 sites and the urban areas occupied a total of 13.2% and 3.4% of Vilnius region, respectively. In the surroundings of each Natura 2000 site, we identified the urban land use at the distances of 500, 10 m. Data from Natura 2000 areas and urban land use (Corine Land Cover 2006) in Vilnius region were collected in the European Environmental Agency website (). The objective of this work is to identify the urban land use in the Natura 2000 areas in Vilnius region, Lithuania. Presently there is no common definition of buffer area it is not clear among stakeholders (Van Dasselaar, 2013). The surrounding or buffer areas, are lands adjacent to the Natura 2000 territories, which aim to reduce the human influence within the protected areas. The distance between urban and protected areas is decreasing and in the future it is estimated that 88% of the world protected areas will be affected by urban growth (McDonald et al., 2008). The urban areas in the fringe of the protected areas are a source of pollutants considered a negative disturbance to the ecosystems services and biodiversity within the protected areas. (Hansen and DeFries, 2007 Salvati and Sabbi, 2011). Urban development is one of the major causes of land degradation and pressure on protected areas.

For the participating in the research students,… The data for the research was collected from 15 students who learn Turkish at Vilnius University in Vilnius, Lithuania. A descriptive method was used in the research. The aim of this paper is to describe ideas that students learning Turkish in Lithuania have about Turkish culture and Turkish people. How Do Students Studying Turkish in Lithuania Describe Turkish Culture and People?ĮRIC Educational Resources Information Center
