Science and technology play an increasing role in our lives, and progress in modern science and technology occur very quickly. Sciencific knowledge update is needed to understand the great scientific and technological changes. But this must bedone properly, stimulating the interest; the mass mediaoften do not help since they may insist on aspects which are doubtful or incorrect or not scientific. Lithuania is among the European Union countries with minimal interest of community in science and technologies, one of the lowest funding of science, and slow progress in science popularization. The main goal of the future work for animal science (on ecological and environmental range) popularization is creating the shortcut between the community (especially children and young people) and academic and research society by direct communication of animal science researchers to general public in Lithuania. The idea of sustainability is directing us from a purely economic stand point of animal production to new dimensions, which include: human and animal health and wellbeing, as well as environment impact and in effect can lead to principal shifts in our paradigma approaches to the relationships berween man and his environment. The article deals with ecological farming in the Lithuania. Under current and near future conditions the needs of ecological farms farmers to cooperate and the possibilities of ecological cooperatives development are in those agricultural branches in which stock of their products totalled most comparable weight as it is in stock-raising. The article analyzed regional differences of stock-raising ecological farms and possibilities of development of alternative activities. The most important is education of ecological life style in the early age.

The article emphasizes that accounts of European social policy generally present a minimalist interpretation of European Union involvement. The sovereign nation-state allows no relevant role for the EU in social policy. The Union's sphere is market building, leaving social policy to citizenfocused, national welfare state, its sovereignty formally untouched though perhaps endangered indirectly by growing economic interdependency. Three welfare state models (liberal, social-democratic, conservative) are discussed in the article. The author highlights that the welfare states are national states. The article defines and discusses European social model as a set of European Community and member-state legal regulations, but also as a range of practices aimed at promoting a comprehensive social policy in the European Union. The European social model has developed alongside the different steps taken towards European integration, that confirms how this model is related to EU economic and political integration. The common values, that includes European social model, such as democracy, individual rights, free collective bargaining, equality of opportunity for all, and social welfare and solidarity are discussed in the article. The article gives the set of different elements of the European social model major of them labour law on worker's rights, employment, equal opportunities, antidiscrimination, etc., that can be characterized as "European society". The progress of European social model depends on the growth of European economies, the development of knowledge societies, and the modernization of work organization that requires constant adaptation. ; Straipsnio tikslas – nustatyti pagrindinius Europos socialinio modelio bruožus ir elementus, aptarti svarbiausias vertybines nuostatas, atskleisti šio modelio problemiškumą ir santykinumą Europos Sąjungoje.

Nowadays society is changing by turning into a sustainable, environmentally friendly new society, which aims to create a healthier, safer and better world, full of new knowledge, continuous improvement, responsibility, teaching and learning. That is why sustainability is becoming increasingly emphasized and discussed. Sustainability is included while creating new strategies, plans, development objectives as well as other relevant documents and rules for each activity. As sustainability is increasingly mentioned in a wide range of activities, it is more focused on in projects of different levels- from the internal decisions of small companies to European Union projects for support. As the number of projects is constantly increasing and they are becoming an important part of each activity, it is appropriate to analyse how sustainability is achieved through projects. However, while trying to assess the social sustainability of any project, several difficulties arise - it is an area that is difficult to measure because there is no official model of social sustainability assessment in scientific literature. The defined subject of the paper is the evaluation of social sustainability in the EU projects. The goal of creating a model of social sustainability assessment is set to attain in the thesis.

The object of master thesis – e-government models. The aim of this work is to evaluate theoretical aspects of implementing e-government models and to analyze the practice of this idea in Lithuanian municipalities. Primary tasks of the work: to evaluate the practice of e-government implementation among EU countries; to reveal the concept and essence of e-government; to analyze models of e-government implementation; to measure the progress of implementing e-government in public administration institutions; to accomplish the evaluation of e-government situation in Vilnius municipality and to foresee the primary trends for development. The application of methods of theoretical problem analysis, scientific literature analysis, logical comparative analysis and synthesis, filing and classification, concept modeling and descriptive statistics, has presented the conclusion that public services for consumers and business, that were confirmed by EC in March, 2001, are not widely used. The survey has presented that only a tenth of all respondents have used the electronic services that are provided by the municipality of Vilnius city (the most popular service is electronic registration in health centre). Despite the fact that internet page of Vilnius city municipality is acknowledged as one of the best among Lithuanian municipalities, the survey has presented that only a fifth of participants of the survey had visited this portal for the purpose of information search. Though, the municipality of Vilnius city presents a wide range of electronic services, the survey has presented that citizens of the city do not use these services due to the lack of information. Master thesis might be useful for municipalities, their personnel and citizens of Lithuania, who seek to get more information about the application of e-government ideas in Lithuania and other countries, also about electronic public services.
