Zakaraitė “Manifestations of moral imagination in Lithuanian politics: analysis of parliamentary debates during focusing events” doctoral dissertation defence https://en.ktu.edu/events/l-zakaraite-manifestations-of-moral-imagination-in-lithuanian-politics-analysis-of-parliamentary-debates-during-focusing-events-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ Thu, 30 Jul 2026 07:52:17 +0000 https://en.ktu.edu/events/l-zakaraite-manifestations-of-moral-imagination-in-lithuanian-politics-analysis-of-parliamentary-debates-during-focusing-events-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ This dissertation examines manifestations of moral imagination in Lithuanian parliamentary debates during three focusing events: the COVID‑19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the migrant crisis. Grounded in a constructivist framework, moral imagination is operationalised into three observable components: recognition of affected groups, articulation of alternative courses of action, and inter‑party unity.

Karaša “Assessment of investments in renewable energy by applying financial saturation theory” doctoral dissertation defence https://en.ktu.edu/events/d-karasa-assessment-of-investments-in-renewable-energy-by-applying-financial-saturation-theory-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ Thu, 30 Jul 2026 07:22:34 +0000 https://en.ktu.edu/events/d-karasa-assessment-of-investments-in-renewable-energy-by-applying-financial-saturation-theory-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ Rapidly growing investments in renewable energy promote its expansion, but also increase the risks of saturation and financial bubbles. These processes are examined through Financial Saturation Theory based on the logic of limited growth. The theoretical analysis focuses on saturation level, elasticity, feedback mechanisms, Market Duality, and the Saturation Paradox. Financial bubbles are explained as an endogenous phenomenon in systems with limited capacity.

The theoretical analysis reveals that DH development is strongly influenced by regulatory frameworks, market structures, and uncertainty factors. A hierarchical uncertainty-control pyramid is proposed to classify controllable, semi-controllable, and uncontrollable uncertainties and support decision-making during the energy transition.

The study evaluates the effects of air-hydrogen plasma flow composition, temperature, and graphite as well as titanium oxide-silicon oxide additives on the elemental composition, phase structure, and tribological properties of chromium oxide coatings under dry sliding conditions.
