We examine the hypothesis of nonlinear rental price convergence using relative rental price index of three major cities of Turkey namely, Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara span from the period from January 1994 to February 2010. Our results indicate that all cities exhibit rental price convergence towards its national mean level for the period of January 1994 to December 2004. In contrast, none of the cities show evidence of convergence from January 2005 to February 2010. The evidence clearly shows rental price divergence in Turkish property market. Santruka Darbe tikrinama triju pagrindiniu Turkijos miestu — Stambulo, Izmiro ir Ankaros — netiesines rentos kainu konvergencijos hipoteze nuo 1994 m. sausio men. iki 2010 m. vasario men., taikant santykini rentos kainu indeksa. Tyrimu rezultatai rodo, kad nuo 1994 m. sausio men. iki 2004 m. gruodžio men. visuose miestuose rentos kainos artejo prie vidutinio nacionalinio lygio. Priešingai, tokios konvergencijos irodymu negauta ne vieno miesto atžvilgiu nuo 2005 m. sausio men. iki 2010 m. vasario men. Faktai aiškiai rodo Turkijos nekilnojamojo turto rinkos rentos kainu divergencija.

Measurements of 137Cs volumetric activity (VA) in coastal waters of the Baltic Sea (near Juodkrante) were carried out in 2005. The highest values occurred in springtime; later they decreased, and in the summer‐autumn period approximate homogeneous values of 137Cs varied in the range of 41–57 Bq/m3, and the lowest values were observed in autumn. Comparison of these values with analogous data obtained in 2003 and 2004 was carried out. The highest average annual value of 63 Bq/m3 is proved to be in 2004. Furthermore, that year the greatest 137Cs volumetric activity variations in the range of 49–91 Bq/m3 were observed. These variations are related to possible appearance of additional sources of radioactive contamination in the sea. Evidently, such sources did not exist in 2005, when a satisfactory coincidence of measured and calculated results was obtained.

In 2003–2004 soil depthprofile sampling was carried out at Juodkrantein the Curonian Spit. The activity concentrations of anthropogenic radionuclide 137Cs in soil samples from the terrestrial and coastal environment of the Curonian Spit were determined and a study of their distribution was performed. The range of activity concentrations of accumulated deposits of 137Cs in a 0–30 cm soil layer is 0,2–370,9 Bq·kg−1 and 2,2–11,2 Bq˙kg−1in samples of the forest soil and beach sand, respectively. Soil depth profiles display higher activity concentration levels in their upper layer of the forest soil and insignificant variations of lower activity concentrations in the surf zone‐the dune ecosystem.
