The issues of the modern biotechnologies seem highly important in the light of the numerous studies onpossible threats to human health and environment posed by GMO's. It might be considered, though, that theindustry of biotechnologies represents "the industry of the future" that provides wide opportunities to improve thewell-being of people. However, one could admit that the latest technologies, having been influenced so much byeconomy, national and global policies, various legislation and public pressure, might come into conflict with therapidly developing natural sciences. The governmental policies or lack of regulation, on the other hand, mighteither prompt or staunch the investment in the industry and science. Eventually, the public opinion may play acrucial role for the technology and industry innovations as well as for the market.One can regard GMO's as a fairly new subject in Lithuania. It has not been a long time since the specialists firstbecame aware of GMO's. So that to ensure that the nurture, production, shipping, transfer and use of all modifiedorganisms are conducted with no or minimum detriment to biological diversity, and also having in mind thepossible danger of GMO's to human health, it is necessary to establish the biosafety system in Lithuania.The fluctuations in social, economic, political and legal areas do influence the regulation of GMO's. So far theLithuanian legislation necessary to ensure proper use of GMO's has not been fully drafted and implemented. Theprocess of European integration and globalisation also has considerable influence on the spread of GMO's inLithuania. The EU policies in the field of GMO's make it necessary for Lithuania to establish legal and administrativeframework for the regulation of GMO's. The use of the GMO's in the business environment will behindered to a great extent by the complexity of GMO's regulatory activities, the expensiveness of GMO's andGMP's legalization, the establishment of public awareness system, negative consumer outlook on GMO's andpromotion ...

The changing of content and forms of civil service training and education in the public sector is analysed in the article.In the modern society, the role of the public institution staff in the planning and implementation of the strategic activitiesof the institutions has increased dramatically. The personnel management content of "putting out the fires" no longer meetsthe needs of the modern organization. The development of the capacities of civil servants is one of the directions in stateadministrative reform as well as one of the main conditions for effective public sector activities.It is possible to say that the existing training of civil servants in Lithuania is more extensive, based on personalmotivation. However the latter does not always coincide with institutional interests. The largest obstacle in effective civilservants training is insufficient capacity of the institutional personnel system of public administration. Although personnelunits carry out the analysis of the needs of qualification training the functions of training process and career planning areimplemented insufficiently. The staff of personnel management boards in state and municipal institutions is not adequate,and unable to carry mentioned functions while existing public administration institutions cannot administrate the processesof qualification assurance properly.

The history of literary copyright in nineteenth century Britain is dominated - understandably perhaps - by a preoccupation with the passing and impact of the Copyright Amendment Act 1842, so ably lobbied for by Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd. This article, however, draws attention away from the 1842 Act towards the Copyright Act 1814, the first legislative provision within British copyright law to introduce a lifetime term of protection for the author. Why and on what basis did the legislature do so? In bringing a renewed attention to this often overlooked legislative measure, we consider the context and logic that underpinned to grant of a copyright term that was tethered to the life of the author. In doing so, we might also find a useful prism through which to look afresh at current copyright debates concerning the appropriate nature and scope of copyright protection in the 21st century.

Abstract
This article examines three novels that use fiction to revise the figure of the Argentine author Leopoldo Lugones: Ricardo Piglia's Respiración artificial (1980), C. E. Feiling's Un poeta nacional (1993), and César Aira's Lugones (2020). These three novels present different portrayals of Lugones, which also mirror their opposing views of the Argentine literary tradition. Piglia, Feiling, and Aira look back at the so-called national poet when self-fashioning themselves as writers and outlining a literary project in a (post)dictatorial scenario. In a cultural field marked by the effects of state terror and neoliberal reform policies, these fictional renderings of Lugones become a means of reflecting on the political past and the future of literature. Ultimately, I argue that Respiración artificial, Un poeta nacional, and Lugones devise a figure of the Argentine author decoupled from the mission of consolidating a national identity that Lugones epitomized for nearly half a century.

Main description: This study examines the problematic practice of authorship in the works of Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard, whose infamous and invasive literary and stylistic idiosyncrasies must enter into any interpretation– philosophical, theological, or literary.The work offers a radically anti-biographical reading of Kierkegaard's literary and dramatic criticism, suggesting ultimately that the closest one ever comes to the 0real0 author of a written work is in an understanding of how all authors are themselves works of creative fiction.

In the article the comparative analysis of the original Russian po‑ ems from the cycle «A Part of Speech» by Joseph Brodsky and their author translations is given. The aim of the analysis is to reveal those principles which J. Brodsky used at the early stage of his author translations.

'Die Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) dient der Erhebung aktueller Daten über Einstellungen, Verhaltensweisen und Sozialstruktur der Bevölkerung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Seit 1980 wird alle zwei Jahre ein repräsentativer Querschnitt der Bevölkerung mit einem teils stetigen, teils variablen Fragenprogramm befragt. Die Daten stehen unmittelbar nach ihrer benutzergerechten Aufbereitung und Dokumentation gegen Ende des betreffenden Erhebungsjahres allen Interessenten für Forschung und Lehre zur Verfügung. Der ALLBUS ist ein gemeinsames Vorhaben von ZUMA und ZA innerhalb der GESIS, das in Kooperation mit einem wissenschaftlichen Beirat, dem ALLBUS-Ausschuss, realisiert wird. Die Abteilung ALLBUS bei ZUMA ist für das Forschungsprogramm und das Gesamtdesign des ALLBUS zuständig. Sie bereitet in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem ALLBUS-Ausschuss die Studien vor und führt sie zusammen mit einem privaten Umfrageinstitut durch. Die Codebucherstellung, die Aufbereitung und Kumulation von Datensätzen, der Datenvertrieb und die Archivierung erfolgen durch das ZA in Köln. Die ALLBUS-Bibliographie dokumentiert Arbeiten mit ALLBUS-Daten, die in Büchern oder Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht sind oder als 'graue Literatur' (in Form von Arbeitsberichten, Diplom- oder Magisterarbeiten usw.) vorliegen. Berücksichtigt werden auch Veröffentlichungen, die auf Daten der ISSP-Plus-Studie (ZA-Nr. 2003) beruhen, in der u.a. Items des ALLBUS 1988 repliziert wurden. Neben den bibliographischen Angaben enthält die ALLBUS-Bibliographie Abstracts der dokumentierten Arbeiten. Die Abstracts sind unter besonderer Berücksichtigung derjenigen Teile einer Publikation erstellt worden, in denen ALLBUS-Daten verwendet wurden. Die vorliegende 22. Fassung der ALLBUS-Bibliographie enthält 1537 Arbeiten, 117 mehr als die letzte Ausgabe von 2007.' (Textauszug)

The growing complexity of modern economics and the protracted process of economic downturn stimulate broad investigation pursuing identification the essential boosters of the economics and possible causes of current embarrassments.Some economists as Colander, D. C.; Holt, R. P. F.; Rosser, J. B. (2004), in the vein of ecological economics, believe that the neoclassical "holy trinity" of rationality, greed, and equilibrium, is being replaced by the holy trinity of purposeful behavior, enlightened self-interest, and sustainability, considerably broadening the scope of what is the mainstream. In this paper the attempt is made to investigate the vigor of one of the fundamentals of the current economics. That is quality of manpower acting in the economics and relevance of it in circumstances when the society consumes more and more. It is assumed among many causes of economic downturn a whole chain of interconnected reasons. At the very beginning of the chain supposed the erosion of spiritual values of acting economic community members. It is claiming that disremembered and muted spiritual values released greediness, boosted corruption, undercut the confidence between partners in the article. Those circumstances grounded conditions and influenced the emerging and afterwards consecutive fall of the expanded fictional business pyramids in many countries. Globalism of economic downturn demonstrates that those circumstances are not only local.In that connection it is important to have a look to relevance of education and training of human resources as well as to investigate the essentials of education including cultivation of the spirituality of graduates in every study programme. Discussing content of study programmes adequate attention to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary study programmes is underlined. It is mentioned that those programmes could enable educating pathfinders with the broader scope of knowledge and skills. Those graduates could become the leaders in making reasonable sustainable long-run oriented ...
