This study proposed, first, to carry out, based on archive documents, an incursion as regards matrimonial relationships of XVIIIth century with all legal, economic and social connotations involved. The marriage contracts studied fall into a typology more closely of what was happening in the same period in Western Europe than in South Eastern Europe. This is because such acts have emerged within the former county of Arad in the first half of the century after the establishment of Habsburg domination and after the German colonists were brought into the area.
Besides the juridical problems regarding the contractual liabilities of the spouses, the status of the children, some problems related to wealth and dowry, I tried to mark out some aspects regarding the everyday life of Arad's inhabitants in the XVIIIth century.

The spectacle of major cultural and sporting events can preoccupy modern societies. This book is concerned with contemporary mega-events, like the Olympics and Expos. Using a sociological perspective Roche argues that mega-events reflect the major social changes which now influence our societies, particularly in the West, and that these amount to a new 'second phase' of the modernization process. Changes are particularly visible in the media, urban and global locational aspects of mega-events. Thus he suggests that contemporary mega-events, both in their achievements and their vulnerabilities, reflect, in the media sphere, the rise of the internet; in the urban sphere, de-industrialisation and the growing ecological crisis; and in the global sphere, the relative decline of the West and the rise of China and other 'emerging' countries

People decide about political parties by taking into account the preferences, values, expectations, and perceptions of their family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. As most people live with others, members of their households influence each other's political decisions. How and what they think about politics and what they do are the outcomes of social processes. Applying varied statistical models to data from extensive German and British household surveys, this book shows that wives and husbands influence each other; young adults influence their parents, especially their mothers. Wives and mothers sit at the centre of households: their partisanship influences the partisanship of everyone else, and the others affect them. Politics in households interacts with competition among the political parties to sustain bounded partisanship. People ignore one of the major parties and vary their preference of its major rival over time. Election campaigns reinforce these choices

Access to documents accumulated at state-owned archive repositories is a topical area of scientific research in archivistics. When the paradigms of archivistics shift, the meaning of access to records as well as its place in archival research undergo changes.In the late 20th – early 21st c., archivistics have been moving towards the stage of a postmodern science, and in vigorous discussions of researchers on archivistics paradigms access is reflected as one of the key phenomena of the archival science. When examining access to records, a synonymous term "accessibility" has been established, meaning a granted right (enforced by relevant legislation) to get acquainted with records and availability of the finding aids. Theo Thomassen's post-preservation or post-modern archivistics, Angelica Menne-Haritz's access paradigm, Ivano Szekely's four paradigms of the archives history provide a basis for the access phenomenon in archivistics. Since the object of the archival science has shifted towards archival information, its goal becomes a quality access to information. Access is the mechanism enabling to reach information. Access to documents means the possibility, assured by legislation, of access to information contained within the records, and the existence of appropriate finding aids.At present, following Ivan Szekely's viewpoint, Lithuania's state archives could be ascribed to the Public Paradigm, because the Internet access to the documents at state archives is not widespread and not well developed. Therefore, we could state that we are moving to the period of the Global Paradigm.Access to documents may be examined in physical, intellectual, and social aspects. ; Vilniaus universiteto Knygotyros ir dokumentotyros institutasUniversiteto g. 3, LT-01513 Vilnius, LietuvaEl. paštas: danute.kontrimaviciene@kf.stud.vu.ltXX a. pab. – XXI a. archyvistikai pereinant į postmodernaus mokslo stadiją, aktyviose mokslo diskusijose archyvistikos paradigmų klausimais yra ir prieigos prie dokumentų, kaip vieno svarbiausių archyvistikos mokslo dalykų, tema. Tiriant prieigą prie dokumentų straipsnyje nustatytas sinoniminio termino "prieinamumo" vartojimas, reiškiantis teisės aktais garantuotą teisę susipažinti su dokumentais ir paieškos priemonių buvimą. Theo Thomasseno posaugojinė, arba postmodernioji, archyvistika, Angelikos Menne-Haritz prieigos paradigma, Ivano Szekely'o Keturios archyvų istorijos paradigmos grindžia prieigos reiškinį archyvistikoje. Prieiga – mechanizmas, kuris leidžia pasiekti informaciją. Prieiga prie dokumentų – tai teisės norminiais aktais užtikrinta galimybė prieiti prie dokumentuose esamos informacijos ir kartu tai tinkamos informacijos paieškos sąlygos. Prieigą prie dokumentų galima tirti fizinės, intelektinės ir socialinės prieigos aspektais.

Language policy is one of the fundamental aspects of the language situation, which is determined as the system of measures of conscious influence on the development of linguistic processes, distribution of languages in the spheres of social interaction, and representing a part of the political control over the language situation, linguistic conflicts. Nowadays its importance as a part of a national policy, especially in the multinational Republic of Kazakhstan, is growing more, and consequently, it is becoming more regulating. The main motive power of the language policy in Kazakhstan is its socio-political and legislative activity. Today the State educational standard is the basis of common conceptual language education in Kazakhstan, and it is designed to provide the legal framework for the state cultural project "Trinity of languages". The process of multilingual education in the Humanities universities of Kazakhstan is considered. Special attention is given to the methodological assumption of the educational process of teaching university students Kazakh, Russian, English Languages.
