“…Even during the time when the market was strained by financial crisis the extension of investment term , and the risk of bonds -8 times, from 0.32 to 0.04 %. Based on the finding that the risk of shares decreases faster than the risk of bonds, we can argue that if the length of the investment term in Lithuania could be extended, the risk of shares could fall below the risk of bonds, and during the long investment periods the results will comply with the ones obtained by Gibson (2000), , Berzon & Volodin (2010), Dimson, Mash & Staunton (2002). Impact of time horizon on the return on investment in shares and bonds.…”

The paper focuses on the impact of time horizon on risk and return, which usually is the object of discussions about “stock versus bond”. The aim of this paper is to investigate the transformation of risk and return when increasing the investment term, and to determine the impact of the investment horizon on investment results when investing in shares and bonds in Lithuania. The authors are proposing a hypothesis that a long-term investment in shares is not only more profitable, but also less risky than investment in bonds. Research of developed markets indicated that long-term investments in shares were more attractive than in bonds: the risk of shares fell to the risk of bonds, but at the same time, the return of shares remained high. However, there are just a few surveys in this field involving developing markets. Empirical results of this research are based on OMXV index and 10-year government bond data from Lithuania. Our results are different from the research results carried out by authors in developed countries and show that even with an increase in the investment horizon up to 60 months, the risk of shares in Lithuania still remains higher than the risk of bonds, and return of shares is lower than that of bonds. Risk premium for shares is negative during all the periods exceeding 12 months. The results suggest that investors with long-run investment horizons must consider the impact of horizon as well as the development of securities market they invest in.

“…Buell's analysis proposes that classificatory systems, be they racial, religious, ethnic, gendered or class-based, function as social and cultural processes, which, in turn, suggests that these seemingly 'real and fixed human differences…are in fact social creations and not eternal realities' (Buell 2005: 6; see also Wilhite 2007;Barreto 2010;Harrill 2014). Classification is inscribed in time, which means that it reflects particular temporal agendas and ideologies (Berzon 2016).…”

“…In the past decade, scholars of early Christianity have likewise devoted considerable attention to the categories of ethnicity, race and nation. They have done so, moreover, within the context of the highly problematic concept of religion (Byron 2002;Goldenberg 2003;Boyarin 2004a; Buell 2005;Johnson 2006a;Johnson-Hodge 2007;Schott 2008; Townsend 2009;Nasrallah and Schüssler Fiorenza 2009;Concannon 2014;Berzon 2016). One of the lasting legacies of late antiquity-a legacy traced in histories of the category 'religion' (Smith 1962;King 1999;Boyarin 2004b; cf.…”

“…Two final words of clarifications are in order before I begin. First, I have not undertaken a detailed investigation of ethnography or ethnographic writing as a literary form or historical practice (see Woolf 2014;Almagor and Skinner 2013;Skinner 2012;Berzon 2016). Although ethnography and ethnicity can be and often are related, they are not synonymous (ethnography is not the study of ethnicity).…”

Ethnicity and Early Christianity: New Approaches to Religious Kinship and Community

This article outlines how recent scholarly interventions about notions of race, ethnicity and nation in the ancient Mediterranean world have impacted the study of early Christianity. Contrary to the long-held proposition that Christianity was supra-ethnic, a slate of recent publications has demonstrated how early Christian authors thought in explicitly ethnic terms and developed their own ethnic discourse even as they positioned Christianity as a universal religion. Universalizing ambitions and ethnic reasoning were part and parcel of a larger sacred history of Christian triumphalism. Christian thinkers were keen to make claims about kinship, descent, blood, customs and habits to enumerate what it meant to be a Christian and belong to a Christian community. The narrative that Christians developed about themselves was very much an ethnic history, one in which human difference and diversity was made to conform to the theological and ideological interests of early Christian thinkers.

“…Как показывает практика применения пневматических источников упругих колебаний («Пика-Д», «Пика-МПУ» ООО «Геодивайс») взамен источников ударного воздействия, указанные затруднения можно частично преодолеть и повысить качество сейсморазведочного материала, что в свою очередь позволяет перейти в область высокочастотной сейсморазведки (100-1500 Гц). При этом необходимо учитывать, что реальные среды (и особенно дисперсные грунты верхней части разреза) выполняют роль низкочастотного фильтра [2,3].…”
