<div>In late 2016, “The Mechanics of Art Materials and Its Future in Heritage Science: A Seminar and Symposium” was held at the Smithsonian Institution’s historic Arts and Industries Building. Organized by the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute (MCI) and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation, the two-day event brought experts in mechanics research from across the globe to discuss current and future trends in the study and preservation of cultural heritage. Speakers represented a continuum of innovative mechanics research in the cultural heritage sector, from its origins at the Smithsonian to current professionals working to shape the field and train future generations of scholars. The event began with the popular paint mechanics workshop created and taught by MCI senior research scientist emeritus Marion Mecklenburg, condensed into a single-day seminar of lectures and discussion. The second day featured an international group of speakers and case studies on the state of mechanics research around the globe, with an afternoon program focused on emerging U.S.-based speakers and their thoughts on the future of the field. This volume reflects a collaborative view of cultural heritage research in mechanics; beginning with a review of mechanics research at the Smithsonian Institution and followed by the nine papers presented by the symposium speakers, this publication incorporates the work of 15 national and international research centers. The Appendix includes a bibliography of Dr. Mecklenburg’s publications and his previously unpublished 1982 report on the mechanical behavior of painting materials.</div>

LEGAL STATUS OF CULTURAL PROPERTY AND WORKS OF ART IN THE PRL Summary The article deals with the legal status of works of art and cultural property in the Polish legislation during communism period. Classifying those objects as private property was considered as a very difficult task, because of their material value and the public interest in saving them for future generations. The strict limitations of individuals property were perceived as unusual and as a result a new sort of property – the private cultural property was distinguished. Moreover, the concepts of the common heritage and res extra commercium could be observed in the light of the PRL ideas. It should be emphasized that the above mentioned theories for improving cultural heritage regulations are the most popular in the nowadays’ international discussion.

Pharmaceutical heritage is a set of scientific and practical achievements of pharmaceutical activity of mankind. Historical and cultural pharmaceutical heritage is a collection of tangible and intangible evidence of the historical development of pharmaceutical science and practice, embodying a significant socio-cultural experience of humanity and preserved for transmission to future generations. Pharmaceutical and medical heritage is difficult to differentiate due to the long joint history of development and intertwining modern practices, but the separation of the professions of a doctor and a pharmacist allows us to distinguish the historical and cultural pharmaceutical heritage from the end of the XVII century. Historical and cultural pharmaceutical heritage is classified into tangible and intangible, according to functional characteristics, material historical and cultural heritage is divided into movable and immovable heritage.

With the increase in the number of computers, the amount of energy consumed by them is on a significant rise, which in turn is increasing carbon content in atmosphere. With the realization of this problem, measures are being taken to minimize the power usage of computers. The solution is green computing. It is the efficient utilization of computing resources while minimizing environmental impact and ensuring both economic and social benefits. Green computing is a balanced and sustainable approach towards achieving a healthier and safer environment without compromising the technological needs of the current and future generations. This chapter studies the architectural aspects, the scope, and the applications of green computing. The emphasis of this study is on current trends in green computing, challenges in the field of green computing, and the future trends of green computing.

Painting materials are one of the mediums that help painters to show the effects of paintings. The use of different painting materials can help the painter to display different painting styles and artistic conception. Six hundred sixty-seven children aged 7 to 13 participated in the study. This study is mainly about the impact of the use of different painting materials on children’s painting creation. The questionnaire survey was conducted based on primary school fine arts education to study the influence of painting materials on children’s painting ability. The content of the questionnaire survey was to investigate children’s usage of different painting materials in painting works and the grasp of painting materials knowledge. This research also provided some painting materials training methods for primary school fine arts teachers to guide children to use different painting materials for painting creation based on the study results.

The Curonian Spit (Lithuania) and Vega Archipelago (Norway) are objects on the UNESCO World Heritage List because of their special kind of landscapes that have been formed not without human intervention. Landscapes created by nature itself or with human help are exceptional works which, as determined by the legal acts in regulation of these processes, have to be referred to as objects of cultural heritage. The cultural heritage must be protected, exhibited and viewed as objects of science and cognition. Lithuania and Norway have different conditions formed for identification, conservation and protection of these works, but both countries have recognized that protection of cultural heritage, passing it on for future generations is the duty of the state. Prospects of heritage management and development, and exchange of experience should be the top priorities for action in Lithuania. Kuršių nerija (Lietuva) ir Vega salynas (Norvegija) į Pasaulio paveldo vietovių sąrašą įrašytos dėl savo išskirtinių kraštovaizdžių, kurie suformuoti ne be žmogaus įsikišimo. Tai, ką sukūrė gamta, žmogus ar gamta kartu su žmogumi, yra išskirtiniai kūriniai, kuriuos, kaip nustato šiuos procesus reglamentuojantys teisės aktai, nurodoma vadinti kultūros paveldo objektais. Kultūros paveldą būtina saugoti, eksponuoti, vertinti kaip mokslo ir pažinimo objektus. Lietuvoje ir Norvegijoje susiklosčiusios skirtingos sąlygos šių kūrinių identifikavimo, išsaugojimo ar globos srityse, tačiau abiejose šalyse pripažįstama, kad kultūros paveldo apsauga, perdavimas ateinančioms kartoms yra tos valstybės pareiga. Paveldo tvarkybos ir vystymo perspektyvos, keičiantis patirtimi, turi būti Lietuvos prioritetinė veiklos sritis.
