2013 m. Nobelio literatūros premija skirta Kanados rašytojai Alice Munro (g. 1931). Tai pirmas atvejis, kai premijuotas vien apsakymus kuriantis rašytojas. Iš pirmo žvilgsnio Munro apsakymų personažai yra paprasti mažų anglosaksų provincijos miestelių gyventojai, kurie netikėtai ima priešintis ir laužyti nusistovėjusias gyvenimo normas. Šiame straipsnyje taikant sociopsichologinius metodus analizuojami apsakymai „Mrs. Cross ir Mrs. Kidd“ ir „The Bear Came Over the Mountain“, kuriuose moterų personažai dėl fizinės ar psichikos ligos nebegali gyventi savarankiškai. Slaugos namuose, vienoje iš griežčiausiai reglamentuojančių Vakarų visuomenės institucijų, apsakymų protagonistės sugeba tęsti tai, ką sociologai vadina „gyvenimų naratyvais“, ir susikurti „galimas tapatybes“. Rašytoja jų pastangas traktuoja ironiškai, bet ne pašaipiai, ir atskleidžia netikėtus būdus, padedančius apsakymų veikėjoms išlaikyti savo orumą.

Bee pollen was tested as potential green corrosion inhibitor of bronze in simulated acid rain in a weakly acidic solution containing Na2SO4 and NaHCO3 (pH 5),simulating an acid rain in the urban environment. Potentiodynamic polarization, scanningelectron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDX)techniques were used to evaluate the inhibitive performance of bee pollen against bronze corrosion. Potentiodynamic polarization revealed that the bee pollen acts as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor; its inhibiting efficiency increases with increasing the pollen concentration attaining the maximum value of 74.7% in the presence of 100 ppm pollen. SEM-EDX analysis confirmed that bee pollen is able to retard the bronze corrosion in a simulated acidic rain solution.

The N.I.S.T. agenda describes the activity of the institute’s researchers during the first half of this year. This is a short review of participation in symposiums, round tables, book releases, openings of document exhibitions, where the participants discussed issues related to the access to documents from the communist period and the debunking of certain huge historical mystifications. The exchange of ideas was the great advantage of these encounters and the published works show the true value both of the organizational effort and of this serious scientific approach.
