and the companies have been arguing in court over the terminated contract since 2020.  The Vilnius City Regional Court approved the parties' settlement agreement on April 18 BNS previously wrote that the municipality terminated the 2016 million euro contract signed in December 21,8 with a consortium of companies in 2020 after they refused to continue the work and after the court finally recognized the decision as legal it sought to claim millions in losses and compensation for damages Active Construction Management was the main partner of the group - its contribution was to reach 65 percent the complex was to be built for a fixed price of 25,9 million an amount of EUR 14,5 million was paid to former contractors for the work Construction of the Lazdynai basin was officially completed in

surgery so the wound often does not even need to be sutured It is interesting that the same nanoscope used for the treatment of animals is also successfully used for the treatment of humans - with its help the accuracy of the nanoscope surpasses even the results of magnetic resonance or ultrasound examinations an animal hospital nanoscope even managed to identify the cause of joint swelling in a professional athlete she was treated for torn ligaments and a torn meniscus "Carrots have many co-morbidities: it would be difficult to even remember the names of all of them our cat begins to have quite severe seizures while sleeping when I saw that she was having seizures again I woke up Morka and noticed that she was no longer putting her back leg on the ground when she got off the armchair it turned out that our pet's leg ligaments were missing and an operation would be needed," Morka's owner who was brought to Lazdyna Animal Hospital the complex operation went very smoothly and the pet recovered quickly the cat was still a little distracted at home and it was a little more difficult to control the operated leg then the next day she started to control it she felt really good and didn't want to lie down at all Morka was already walking perfectly and even though it was not possible she tried to run up the stairs when she got the chance The only thing that reminds me of the operation performed today is the hair that has not yet grown on the leg" the chief veterinarian of the Lazdynai Animal Hospital the laptop-sized endoscopic system can today be considered the gold standard and a great medical achievement allowing not only more efficient diagnosis of various diseases Used for non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures the nanoscope is considered one of the most modern and innovative devices to assist veterinarians in both routine and emergency situations is moving in the same direction - everything is being done to make minimal incisions during invasive procedures The nanoscope is special in that it has an extremely small camera with a diameter of 1 mm so it is enough to make a cut of just 1-2 millimeters in diameter and the necessary cavities can be inspected with the help of the device Such an incision usually does not even need to be sewn," says animal surgeon L He points out that although the nanoscope is mostly used for arthroscopy - diagnostic procedures and treatment of joints because the device can also be used for examination of the auricle taking samples and in various emergency situations "For about a few weeks there were 'fishing hook days' - we pulled two or three fishing hooks out of the animals' mouths a day we first performed an X-ray examination to make sure that there was indeed something in the oral cavity The endoscopic system made it possible to see exactly where the hook was stuck and helped to successfully remove foreign bodies" Mačiulis notes that the recently purchased advanced "Arthrex" nanoscope is used in the clinic almost every day as this endoscopic system is a great innovation not only in Lithuania It is said to be a piece of equipment without analogues in the world colleagues from other clinics also refer patients to us where with the help of a nanoscope we can carefully examine the animal establish an accurate diagnosis or apply treatment precisely with this innovative system." the same nanoscope that is used to treat animals is also applicable to human diagnostic procedures VET" Lazdynai Animal Hospital and uses a nanoscope to diagnose its patients who works in several hospitals and private clinics notes that the nanoscope is an exclusive and expensive endoscopic system that only two clinics in Lithuania have currently the nanoscope is used only for diagnostics and operations with this device are not yet performed on humans as special nano instruments are required for this the nanoscope is commonly used for arthroscopy the nanoscopy method is used to examine and evaluate lesions in joints and certain tendons who works with a nanoscope in a private clinic in Kaunas with the help of the device it is possible to examine all the joints in the limbs starting with the shoulder and ending with the foot unique and patented system of its kind that allows you to view the joint through a video camera in the "needle" a piece of equipment used in minimally invasive surgeries: reconstructions of ligaments the nanoscope is used for diagnostic purposes so its data should be compared with the accuracy of the data obtained during magnetic resonance or ultrasound The nanoscope is far ahead of these radiological tests," says the orthopedic traumatologist "One of the last cases that confirmed the obvious advantage of the nanoscope was the evaluation of the condition of the knee joint of a professional soccer player Having previously undergone cartilage reconstruction with chondrofiller the athlete could not return to the field because his joint swelled from the slightest physical exertion There was no palpable change on the magnetic resonance images that could have affected this and the defect appeared to be perfectly healed when examining the knee joint with a nanoscope it became clear that the swelling is provoked by many small particles of cartilage This was the absolute key in making a decision on further treatment tactics" nanoscopy currently cannot replace arthroscopy in human treatment but the images that can be observed with the help of a nanoscope are analogous to images in the operating room The main difference is that with the help of a nanoscope and there are no restrictions on movement after the procedure which allows us to make the most correct decision regarding further treatment This is especially useful when we have complicated complex cases or post-operative conditions It is also very important that it allows to completely personalize the selection of orthobiological therapy for patients who suffer from pain caused by arthrosis of the joints" Although the nanoscope can be of great help in emergency situations it does an equally important job in helping to detect tumors or polyps a veterinarian at the Lazdynai Animal Hospital points out that a biopsy sample can also be taken or a polyp removed using a nanoscope a cat was brought to the clinic with a chronic runny nose for about a couple of years we performed an examination of the nasal cavity We received an answer from the laboratory that it is malignant lymphoma diagnosing the disease would have taken longer as a CT scan would have been required first This is a more expensive method of investigation biopsy sampling and examination are still required," says L the veterinarian reveals that it is planned to test the nanoscope during minimally invasive laparoscopic operations on animals - diagnostic abdominal examinations these surgeries use a working channel and laparoscopic optics so both incisions are approximately 8-10 millimeters in size one incision would be about a centimeter in size and the other would be about 2 millimeters in size and there are striated muscles in the abdomen because the muscles would simply tighten when pulling out the nanoscope," says veterinarian L built in place of a demolished old swimming pool will be open to the public from 17:00 on Wednesday The complex has a 50-meter Olympic-size swimming pool and a 25-meter diving pool with 1,200 spectator seats It also has fitness and functional training areas The Lazdynai swimming pool will initially operate without its spa and sauna areas which are expected to be completed in about a year The sports complex can accommodate up to 700 visitors at a time The cost of the project is estimated to have risen to 35 million euros from the initially planned 22 million euros which will be installed by the construction company Vilmstata It won a public tender announced by Vilnius Development Company which is developing the project on behalf of Vilnius City Municipality The new wellness area will feature a sauna 12 people will be able to sunbathe in them at the same time 17 people will be able to relax in the adjacent massage pool a children's pool is planned in the SPA area "The selected contractor is expected to install a wellness area next to the sports pool within seven months a full package of water infrastructure services will be offered in the Lazdynai basin This will be a complex project that will not only provide new opportunities for citizens but will also contribute to the growth and sustainable development of the city's infrastructure," says Laura Joffė Vacationers will be able to take a shower under the massage showers located near the saunas relax in the relaxation area on deckchairs The spa area is designed according to the principles of universal design The renovation works will be carried out in the building of the existing Lazdynai swimming pool which opened its doors in 2023 and has since been one of the most important swimming sports facilities in Vilnius The company "Vilmstata" will install the SPA area for approximately 1,4 million euros including VAT which will help determine how this unique area of ​​the capital can be managed and renovated without damaging its exceptional architectural and urban heritage Residents will also be invited to participate in the development of the guidelines Hazelnuts – one of the first residential districts of Vilnius built according to the model of new European suburbs is included in the Register of Immovable Cultural Properties The valuable features of this area have been identified: type of planned structure Residents will be involved in the entire process from the very beginning of the development of the guidelines The first meeting with residents regarding the guidelines will be held in May It will present why these guidelines are needed and how to maintain them while modernizing and renovating apartment buildings The specific date and time of the meeting will be announced on the municipality's website www.vilnius.lt and in the Lazdynai eldership (Erfurto g we will prepare clear recommendations that will ensure the preservation of Lazdynai's architecture and urban identity adapting the district to modern needs," explained J The prepared solutions for the management guidelines for the Lazdynai heritage site will also be discussed with the community The guidelines will establish clear principles on how to modernize the district without losing its identity – from the renovation of building facades and color solutions to engineering facilities Guidelines for the management of the Lazdynai heritage site will be developed in 2025–2026 the popularity of children's swimming lessons traditionally increases in Lithuanian swimming pools parents want to make sure that their children will be safe during their holidays in the sea welcomes all those who want to learn to swim armed with artificial intelligence technologies In order to prevent serious accidents in the water a drowning prevention system developed by the Norwegian technology company "SwimEye" has been installed and used daily in the Lazdynai pool which helps to record the actions of a person who may be drowning and promptly informs the pool supervisors of an impending disaster The system installed in the Lazdynai Basin is the first in the Baltic States No accidents have been recorded in all swimming pools that have a drowning detection system installed With the implementation of such an artificial intelligence system the pool operator does not need to hire any employees with special competences as any ordinary lifeguard can work with this system This AI-powered underwater monitoring system is used in many Scandinavian swimming pools: it responds to human movements and notifies rescuers when it notices atypical behavior There are two types of messages: the early warning alarm and the danger of drowning "SwimEye technology developed in Norway has accumulated more than 100 thousand hours of personalized footage of natural human movements and drownings in water The cameras do not record the image of people but only analyze their movements in the water and thus "teach" their algorithms The constantly updated technology analyzes more and more new data over time so the quality of protection is constantly increasing," says Rolandas Gudelis The system detects various anomalies and even predicts possible cases of drowning a person was swimming and suddenly stopped and his arms or legs began to move involuntarily which did not find the corresponding patterns of movements in its database initially only informs the rescuer about the situation with a yellow signal notifies about the highest level - red danger The accumulated database of human movements in water ensures the stability and reliability of drowning detection every millimeter of the pool is visually monitored and when the system detects signs of drowning it sends a visual early warning signal to the central pool monitoring console and to the rescuer on the walkie-talkie Not only information is sent about the risk of drowning but also about the specific sector where the incident takes place In order for artificial intelligence to work as reliably as possible the system uses high-quality German Mobotix cameras which ensure the reliability of video surveillance and meet cyber security criteria All cameras have a resolution of 4 megapixels and are designed to not record personal features of a person thus complying with the strict requirements of the EU GDPR "There are two swimming pools in the Lazdyni complex - an Olympic 50-year-old one The Olympic swimming pool is equipped with 21 underwater surveillance cameras along its entire perimeter and the diving pool has 12 cameras on two levels because the bottom of this extremely deep pool is movable and when the depth is reduced some of the cameras are covered," says Lithuanian national swimming champion Olympian and pool manager Vytautas Janušaitis There are two types of cameras installed in the walls of the pool - built into the wall itself and double It depends on the functions of the pool - where the depth of the pool is adjusted by moving the bottom cameras are installed by inserting into the wall of the pool "After installing the system in both pools We simulated drownings with a live diver in each pool area It was quite a challenge to install the underwater cameras because in certain areas the bottoms of the pools rise and there cannot be any protrusions into the interior of the pool We used about 1,5 km of various cables for the preventive drowning detection system alone high-quality and reliable German cameras were used" when a lifeguard responds in less than two minutes the lives of most drowning people are saved There have been no drowning incidents in the Lazdynai pool during the entire operation of this complex and the guests were presented with the space and equipment of the most modern swimming pool in the Baltic States which all Vilnius residents and city guests will be able to try tonight.  Lazdynai swimming pool will start its normal operation from 17:10 who have purchased tickets at the box office or online 50-lane 8-meter swimming pool and the 25-lane 10-meter diving pool with a special air cushion there is also the only 7-meter tower of its kind in Lithuania for jumping into the water and XNUMX springboards.  The complex will accommodate about 700 visitors at a time and a total of about 4000 long-term memberships could be sold per year Over 300 athletes will play sports in the pool at different times over 1000 children will attend swimming training since March and at least 1800 second-timers will join them in the fall.  The Lazdynai pool will become a permanent sports base for swimmers The complex is adapted not only for training but also for sports events - it will host national and international water sports competitions which can be watched by up to 1200 spectators.  "We congratulate the Vilnius city community on the opening of the long-awaited swimming pool It is a festive day for the entire Lithuanian water sports family - swimmers We believe that this modern swimming pool will not only promote physical activity and health of the citizens of Vilnius but will also contribute to programs of great importance to the Lithuanian Swimming Federation - teaching to swim prevention of drowning and the training of highly skilled athletes We hope that other sports infrastructure projects will move forward successfully and swimming pools will become even more accessible to Vilnius residents" Secretary General of the Lithuanian Swimming Federation The project was implemented in cooperation between the Vilnius City Municipality and the Ministry of the Interior UAB "Vilniaus vystymo kompaniya" took care of the implementation of the Lazdyna basin project The main contractor of the pool is Panevėžys statybos trestas AB.  The construction permit for the football complex to be built in the Lazdynai district of Vilnius has already been obtained the works will start as soon as the snow melts The real estate development company became the main investors of the stadium being built on the initiative of Vilnius Football Academy.Males" and Darvydas Šern The total investment in the project will reach about 2,5 million "A modern football stadium for young football players was one of my dreams which believed in us and willingly contributed to the development of Lithuanian football I hope that this project will become the beginning of our long-term cooperation" the initiator of the new stadium and the head of Vilnius Football Academy According to him, the stadium that received the name "Hanner-VFA" will become the official home of "Vilnius Football Academy", where trainings, competitions, tournaments and other football communities will be organized throughout the year. events professional clubs and others will be able to use the stadium.  The new football stadium will be equipped with an artificial surface and the stands for 300 spectators will be covered with a roof A new modular building will be erected next to it which will be equipped with changing rooms It is also planned to build a modular building that will house a cafe convenient access and parking spaces will be provided stands will meet the highest standards and it will be possible to organize international competitions there All installation works are expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year played football professionally for 20 years represented the Lithuanian national team for 10 years in 2010 was chosen as the best Lithuanian football player both the football situation and the infrastructure needed for the sport are not the best so as soon as I finished my career as a professional football player I had a dream to build a football stadium for children and the academy" He is happy that "Vilnius Football Academy" will become the first football academy in Lithuania which will have its own football base - a field a training hall and all the necessary infrastructure "We estimate that 99 percent of the work is done there are still small things to do with the installation of glass cases but this is due to disruptions in the supply chain All that remains is to replace the lighting networks and perform earthworks," the vice mayor told BNS the procedure for recognizing the structure as suitable for use is currently being prepared "It could take about a month and a half, if everything goes smoothly, and we'll start preparing for the opening." The plan is to open for visitors at the beginning of February," he said V. Benkunskas the Vilnius municipality announced its intention to open the swimming pool this year The vice mayor reminded that the pool will initially operate without the spa and sauna areas which are planned to be completed within about a year from the opening of the pool The municipality claims that this decision was made due to "major technical errors" in the construction technical project Swimming pool with 50 meter tracks 1,2 thousand The construction of a swimming pool built on the site of a demolished Soviet-era swimming pool with seats for spectators but the deadline for its completion was postponed several times The municipality terminated the pool construction contract with "Active construction management" (formerly "Irdaiva") and its partners - the companies "Montuotojas" claiming that the contractors refuse continue work these contractors had completed about 40% of the work It is estimated that from the initial almost 22 million The price of the project increased to 35 million euros The pool will be managed by the municipal company "Active Vilnius" a tender for a private operator will be announced later It is planned to install 157 apartments in the whole block An underground parking lot with 153 spaces will be installed for residents The spaces above the parking lot would be used for the organization of sports each above-ground building in the complex would be accessed by stairs and an elevator Clinker tiles are planned for facade decoration "The volumes of the 1st floor would be built in the gaps near the street of the complex without destroying the perimeter construction Buildings closer to the street are designed with 3-4 stories 4-story buildings emphasize access to the plot Smaller 3-story houses are being designed next to the river pedestrian descents to the intensively used green area near the Neris River are being designed Arrays of trees are preserved in this area which will fulfill the purpose of public spaces" - the project proposals write about the functional layout of the quarter Since the future quarter borders the Neris River it was assessed whether the quarter could be flooded if the river's water level started to rise sharply Long-term observations and landscape analysis showed that the probability of siltation is minimal and would be partially inhibited by the vegetation in this area "The park's environment would be created by maintaining the existing natural environment (the system of existing plantations and the environment of the water body - Lazdynai Lake) It is recommended to clean Lazdynai Lake of garbage clean the grasslands and "civilize" its environment a little but leave the possibility of continuing to have a rich biodiversity natural greenery cannot sustain the full richness of wildlife the management principle of this community park will also be based on the concept of preserving and creating biodiversity - it is planned to leave woody - the project proposals write about the principles of the future park with a small lake Please note that the projects presented for public consultation have not yet received the approval of the municipality - specialists make decisions after evaluating not only project solutions Vilnius city municipality also informs that the projects presented for public consultation have not yet received the approval of the municipality - specialists make decisions after evaluating not only project solutions but the pool will be opened without spa and sauna areas we had a plan that the pool would be completed and put into operation in a similar period now but this is already the case in construction that for some objective reasons the construction is prolonged" - at the press conference on Thursday at the pool under construction said the vice mayor "We hope that all the works will be finished by the end of September it will still take some time for the procedures to hand over the building We hope that the first visitors will enter this year and the long-awaited swimming pool will be put into operation," he said which took over the work from the bankrupt "Active construction management" (formerly "Irdaiva") had to change the already installed bolts of the supporting structures which did not meet the technical requirements and also had to change the cracked pipes in the diving pool due to improperly performed operation and construction stoppage works by the former contractor V. Benkunskas reminded that the Financial Crimes Investigation Service (FNTT) is conducting an investigation into "apparently embezzled funds" which will be an additional center of attraction in this facility," he said According to the Vice Mayor, the building will be able to be recognized as a suitable use, the swimming pools are expected to be opened in December, the sauna areas will be equipped only partially, as required by the procedures. In the beginning, the object will be managed by the municipal company "Active Vilnius" a tender for the operator will be announced later they should only recoup the costs of operating the pool Emilis Vaitkaitis, general secretary of the Lithuanian Swimming Federation, emphasized that the swimming community has been waiting for this facility "for a long time and patiently", because after the demolition of the old Lazdynai swimming pool, there has been no Olympic swimming pool in the capital for five years. For example, Beautiful there are even two such pools with 50-meter-long tracks he emphasized that another diving pool is highly anticipated as much attention as diving will be given in Vilnius We really hope that the sport of diving will improve perhaps more famous names will appear in the international arena" He hopes that representatives of other sports - water polo the technologies implemented in the swimming pools will also provide many opportunities for the athletes: the bottom of the large pool has an adjustable height and the diving pool has special air cushions that will soften the impact on the water while the athletes learn new elements of jumping It can be compared to bicycle paths: it seems as if there are not many riders Outdoor exercise equipment - it seems that no one exercises So the most important thing is that there are opportunities," he emphasized.  the municipality's goal is to have one 25-meter swimming pool in each micro-district of the capital and in order to meet the needs of the secondary swimming program the capital still lacks "at least eight swimming pools" "Unfortunately, for the past 25 years, swimming pools in Vilnius have been demolished, destroyed, but not newly built. We are now basically making up for lost time, we have plans to launch at least several swimming pools for construction in the near future. One of them is planned in the near future In Pilaite"It will be a 25-meter pool for training and leisure," the vice mayor informed the second swimming pool should appear in Balsiai - a suitable plot is currently being searched for Lazdyna sports center with 50 and 25 meter swimming lanes saunas and training halls were started to be built in 2017 on the site of the demolished Soviet-era swimming pool The municipality terminated the pool construction contract with "Active construction management" and its partners - the companies "Montuotojas" claiming that the contractors refuse to continue the work the Supreme Court of Lithuania finally recognized that the Vilnius authorities had legally terminated the contract.  Vilnius authorities signed a contract with a new contractor - the Panevėžys construction trust The company promises to finish construction of the pool by the middle of this year.  this week Vilnius residents received a miracle - after the reconstruction The prices of tickets and memberships have also been presented We asked our readers if they were satisfied with the presented prices A single visit at noon (10am-16pm) costs 9 euros The price of a single visit for the whole day is 15 euros per person A monthly membership costs between 41 and 79 euros 49 percent of those surveyed (614 votes) answered that such tickets are too expensive for them of respondents (413 votes) for whom the prices of visiting the swimming pool are acceptable (165 votes) of the readers who participated in the survey (54 votes) thought that the tickets would be more expensive We remind you that the newest and most modern Lazdynai swimming pool (multifunctional complex) in the country opened its doors to Vilnius residents and city guests on Wednesday and at least 1800 second-timers will join them in the fall We wrote more about the introduction and opening of the pool here The Lazdynai multifunctional complex will have two swimming pools - a 50 m Olympic size pool and a 25 m diving and diving pool Tribunes with 1000 seats have been installed next to the large swimming pool There are 200 seats for watching the competition at the diving pool Raised bottom systems are installed in the pools a technology operating on the principle of artificial intelligence is installed the detectors of which detect a motionless object on the bottom in just a few seconds and notify the rescuers about it The official opening ceremony of the swimming pool will take place on February 15 The doors of the pool will be opened for visitors who want to try the pool water first on the same day From February 20 the athletes of the Capital Sports Center will also start training in the pool Visitor tickets and long-term pool memberships will be available for swimming enthusiasts from February 13 A single midday (10am-16pm) visit will cost 9 euros The price of a single visit for the whole day will reach 15 euros per person which is developing the project on Sostinės Laisvės avenue is not only planning to undertake the construction work of the second stage this year but is already developing concepts for subsequent stages The leasable area in the yet-to-be-built office buildings will reach more than 80 square meters Business Garden Vilnius, which has the largest green spaces among business centers in Lithuania, is located near the exhibition and congress center.Litexpo" and Hazelnut forest two office buildings have been built here and are being leased According to the European Green Building Certification Body which has scored 95 LEED certificate points is one of the eleven European buildings that have ever received this rating or higher Having signed lease agreements with GetJet Airlines VELUX and other companies at the end of last year Vastint Lithuania leased 90 percent of the office buildings of the first phase of Business Garden Vilnius business park Among the largest tenants of Business Garden Vilnius -

a temporary structure for catering purposes and a temporary structure for sports purposes which will complement the activities carried out in the territory The structures will be manufactured in a factory or built from prefabricated structures The structures will be able to be dismantled or moved to another location but will be based on the surface of the earth," the project proposals say about future works "The temporary building for the catering purpose is being designed next to the stands The intended activity of the building is an outdoor cafe for guests A temporary sports building is being designed in the southern part of the plot next to the approach to the stadium The temporary structure will be centered in relation to the site Administration is planned on the second floor A roof terrace is also being designed on the second floor The terrace will offer a view of the stadium," the design proposals say The design proposals also indicate that the eastern part of the plot This will be the representative side of the territory which will be emphasized with plants and elements of small architecture Lithuanian airlines that signed a lease agreement with Vastint Lithuania last year moved into more than 2 According to the developer of the business center GetJet Airlines started looking for new office premises last year which recovered quickly after the COVID-19 pandemic and returned to growth The company continues to actively seek additions to various teams "At Vilnius airport the old office of GetJet Airlines no longer met the expectations of the growing team so we started looking for more spacious premises last year We chose the "Business Garden Vilnius" business center because of its strategically convenient location from which you can reach within 10 minutes to reach both Vilnius airport and our aircraft in it The location is also convenient for employees to come to work from different parts of the city We plan that the modern and spacious office will allow us to continue growing the team and create comfortable workplaces for current and future employees" Last year marked the aviation sector's recovery from the stagnation of the COVID-19 pandemic GetJet Airlines' revenue doubled last year and reached 104 million The recovery was due to the increased demand for ACMI services in the global aviation market over the past year due to disruptions in the supply of aircraft and their spare parts as well as the continued growth of charter passenger flows According to the manager of GetJet Airlines the market is still observing the effect of the pandemic - the desire of the population to travel "The first half of this year is also optimistic.
