Klegeris, I. (Latvia Univ. of Agriculture, Jelgava (Latvia)) | Priednieks, E. | Ruplis, A
The rising development of sciences and technologies as well as social problems especially, high unemployment rate, make it indispensable to achieve an incessant innovation of higher education system including the field of electrical and electronics engineering. Some aspects of this goal are formulated in the report of the Ministry of Education and Science of Latvia "Flexible Learning Strategy in Latvian Higher Education" in 1999. The study was based on applying SWOT analysis, i.e. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats were identified. This paper reports the results of one of the first attempts to elaborate and implement an original student centred interactive learning tool for the students of higher and vocational schools in Latvia.

2002
Saulys, V. (Lithuanian Inst. of Water Management, Vilainiai, Kedainiai reg. (Lithuania))
Land reclamation is very important in Lithuania: under the climatic conditions of our country it is necessary to drain land. Today approximately 90% of the whole agricultural production are grown in drained land. In this article financial problems of land reclamation works are analysed. Not taking into account our country's financial abilities, the maintenance of land reclamation systems must be done properly, and in time - only then, we will be able to guarantee the best long-lasting functioning of drainage systems, and in the future there will be no greater and it will be unnecessary to do expensive preliminary reconstructions works. The maintenance works of drainage systems may be full-filled properly and in time when increasing the financing for land reclamation works up to the necessary level (any subsidies resources and payments are possible, as well as different labour variants and other alternatives) or reducing the maintained drained areas, so that we could throughly keep on eye on land reclamation systems.

2002
Smatas, R. (Lithuanian Inst. of Agriculture, Akademija, Kedainio reg. (Lithuania))
The spread of thrips was observed in winter rye, wheat and triticale crops during the growing season of 2001 at the Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture in Dotnuva. Thrips started to spread in winter cereals of the end of tilling - beginning of stem elongation stage (DC 29-30). In winter rye and triticale the spread of thrips was similar. There were two well-defined peaks of thrips occurrence. The highest incidence of thrips was on winter rye. There were 100% infested stems and 15.4 thrips per infested stem in rye, 90% infested stems and 6.9 thrips per infested stem in triticale and 84% infested stems and 2.9 thrips per infested stem in wheat.

2002
Zudrags, M. (Latvia Univ. of Agriculture, Jelgava (Latvia))
Today more than 17.5% of agricultural land is abandoned in Latvia. Effective use of this land is essential for rural development planning, as well as growth of national economics. Afforestation is one of alternative uses of abondoned and marginal agricultural land. Requisite investments and management costs are calculated for forest plantations of pine, spruce, birch and aspen. The analysis of investment appraisal is based on several criteria - net present value, internal rate of return, benefit/cost ratio and equivalent annual annuity.
