Hello,
I am a student from Vytautas Magnus University. I am currently writing my bachelor's thesis on decision-making styles and divergent thinking. I read your article about adapting its decision-making to another language. I wanted to ask, maybe you know which order the questions of the questionnaire are supposed to be in and could tell it to me?
Thanks for Your response in advance.

Questionnaires often begin with a few "demographic" items that are easy to answer. After that, there are substantive questions, with the remainder of the demographics at the end.

Hello I'm a post-graduate student of political science and I'm interested in political involvement and conventional political participation in my country, Lithuania.
The title of the thesis is: "The Factors of Political Interest of Lithuanian Society and Their Impact on Conventional Political Participation."
The goal of the thesis is to understand what motivates Lithuanian society to be interested in politics and the relation between interest and behavior during the national elections (that would include, for instance, voting turnout; and electoral volatility, also party partisanship).
I'm concerned whether the research question is well articulated and logical. It looks double but if I took only one of them my research might get too narrow. Moreover, If I was concerned only on factors that motivate society to be interested in politics while leaving voting behavior aside, the political aspect of my thesis seems to be at risk.
I appreciate your support,
Karolis

I am already visualising two research topics from this topic you have tendered for some advice. Let me disaggregate to see whether or not my advice shall be helpful. I am inclined to align myself with the topic suggested by Professor C. Nock above. Then, the second topic could be framed from the segment of your initial topic as follows: "The Impact of Conventions on Political Participation in Lithuania." In regard to this latter topic, it would be obligatory for you to rigorously analyse what conventions exist in your country and through such exhaustive analysis that you may provide, especially in the impact they thus created on participation, your readers shall be in a proper position to judge for themselves the most salient. The two topics are apparently aiming at the attainment of the same objective in terms of issues pertaining to political participation. However, the difference inheres in the central concepts such "factors" and "conventions," which are not necessary the same. In addition, the concerns of the two topic are also different: one is about "cause" and the other is about "impact."

Could anyone point to analogies to unusual barrow shape, of which we have only several examples in Lithuania. These are rather small in height (up to some 2 metres) but large in diameter (30-40 metres). They have flat top, something like an upside-down flat plate (see figures 1 and 2). Atop there is usually a round broad ditch and shallow rampart, and an outer ditch surrounding the whole barrow, forming something like shown in figure 3 in cross-section. Since they are all located in long-forested areas I am pretty sure they have suffered considerable changes in shape over centuries, and may have initially looked as shown in figure 4, i.e. like a barrow-on-barrow.
None has been excavated yet so nothing can be said of what (if anything) lies in them. All of them are located among usual barrows mostly dated to the Migration Period (ca. 5th-6th c. AD). So their dating is expected to be similar. At least they a very unlikely to have anything to do with the Neolithic or Bronze Age.
Maybe there exist analogies to barrows of such shape, probably in Barbarian Germanic territories?
I would be grateful for your answers.

Answer
This way you may may be forced to put spots on a plan of what you interpret, lets say, as a burial, in a publicly available account. And the site may seem attractive, judging from the size of the barrow, to those who should not be there. Everybody thinks that the bigger the barrow the richer the burial. Maybe low probability, but we have had cases of grave robberies made by someone who seemed to be well familiar with archaeological literature. So I think if you are going to use geophysics you should be ready to excavate, too.
But at this stage, I only wish to do my best in searching something similar anywhere abroad. This could aid in working out strategies. If I get to it. If I just detect the barrow dates back to, say, 500-600 AD, this tells almost nothing new to me.

In 2013, Lithuania decided to reform and update its land tax. Especially they planned to fully reassess land values and rise tax rates. Both would have caused substantial rise in the tax income of local municipalities.
Literature on this is very scarce. I am grateful for any hint on the effects of the reform on the real tax rates on the land value. Or do you know researchers working on this issue or tax practicians in Lithuania? Thankyou very much in advance for any literature hint or contact.

Hello,
Not a good idea to go to anywhere in Russia, or countries part of the previous Soviet Union.  Is Chemical Engineering taught the best way in Lithuania? or, is it hard for you to get into JAM/ IIT system for the Master's Degree ?
I have seen people with Medicine Degree finding it hard to get "equivalence" of their certificate in Indian system.
Go to UK, USA, Germany, even Japan, Australia for quality of education, but these countries you spend a lot of time in learning the local language.
Just because if you have money, and want to study a MS in abroad does not mean it has to be "any country" in abroad.
1000s of people do a MS in India, and you should try hard to get a degree in India first, and then come to UK, USA or elsewhere for higher degrees.
Thanks,

early modern period of industerial revolution was an exiting discovering everything and anything in the name if modernism, of course it seems like making all stuff from paper mishe, campare to current time- creations. Neighboring difference was limited to their basic warfare gadjets , and their language barriers to each others. Now, that none of these factors  is considered a barrier, the grouping mistake (EU) is the the punding headache to alarm the dead-end transparency of each (EU) members that have totally different dillema in inter-state issues.
