Education is one of the key components in developing identity, personality and a sense of belonging in the time of peace.

Denna undersökning rör frågan om vilket inflytande förkastningarna i de tektoniska Polotsk- Kurzeme och Småland-Blekingezonerna utövat på det överlagrande sedimenttäckets och den nutida topografins utbildning. Syftet var att bestämma karaktären av denna påverkan och dess tänkbara orsaker. De huvudsakliga undersökningsområdena utgjordes av Polotskdelen av Polotsk-Kurzeme deformationszonen i norra VThis is a study of the influence of the crystalline basement faults of the Polotsk-Kurzeme and the Småland-Blekinge Deformation Zones on the development of the sedimentary cover and the formation of the present topography.
