The article analyses the basic factors (migration, political-juridical circumstances, adaptation) which had influenced the process of Russians' social integration in Lithuania from 1918 to 1940. Much attention was paid to the research of the social and cultural activity of interwar Russian intelligentsia in Lithuanian istoriography during the last 15 years. That's why the main object of this research are Russians as an integral ethnic community which consists of various social segments (peasants, workers, priests, etc.). It is concluded that the integration of Russians in Lithuania was largely determinated such dimensions like professional skills, educational level, literacy and strait.

This article continues the investigation on the relationships between science and social engineering. We inquire and critically analyze the ideas of P. Feyerabend on the social possibilities of science, political role of scientific experts and social engineers. The objective of the article is the reconstruction of Feyerabend's reception of science and its socio-political role, then, the presentation of Feyerabend's counter-arguments against Popper's rationalism and the project of social engineering. According to Feyerabend, an open and free society is the society where every (cultural, religious, epistemological etc.) tradition is provided with equal rights and equal possibilities. Any attempt to impose the standards of one tradition on the others rejects the idea of freedom and liberty. Science is only one epistemological traditions among others, therefore, in a free society scientific standard cannot dominate over the standards of the other traditions. Thus, Feyerabend interprets Popper's idea of scientifically grounded social engineering as politically harmful, misleading and incompatible with the requirements of a free society.

The main objective of this article is critical reconsideration of Popper's ideas, concerning the influence of science on society and the social engineering. Our aim is the reconstruction of Popper's counter-arguments against utopian social engineering and arguments for rational and scientific control of open society with the help of the piecemeal social engineering. He claims that the open society has many features in common with the science: both are based upon critical thinking, both are ready to admit their mistakes, both progress through critical discussion. If, according to Popper, reason is the only alternative to violence so far discovered, then the politics of the open society is strongly dependent on the science. Science provides methods and ideas for piecemeal social engineering that successfully solves majority of social and political problems. Therefore, without science, a society cannot be open. We seek at the critical evaluation of practical possibilities to exercise piecemeal social engineering and its obstructions.

The study examines the development of higher-order thinking skills of grade 4 students in the context of social and natural science and real-life. The review of scientific literature has defined what context-based learning is and highlighted the conditions for developing a higher order thinking skills. In the empirical part, according to the criteria selected in the course of the analysis of the scientific literature, the national achievement tasks of the social and natural science for grade 4 were analyzed. It has been determined that the context of the analyzed tasks is related to real-life situations. Tasks are close to the child with their content, and their context is brought closer to the child's living environment. There were no tasks that would involve a more global life context: political issues, international relationship, environmental issues, etc. It has been investigated that most of the students in grade 4 are required to analyze the situation and draw conclusions about it. More rarely applied argumentation skills and answers to complex quastions. There were no tasks focused on creating graphs, models or redefining submitted models.

The topic and problem of the dissertation is very interesting and important in Lithuanian context. Lithuania has its own military forces only for twenty years, so minor empirical studies concerning military psychology have been conducted. The empirical research provides interdisciplinary insights and implications, useful not only for military contexts but also for organizational psychology in the field of team performance. The author of the dissertation has made the important step towards development of understanding the relationship between team cohesion, trust, perceived self and collective efficacy, stress and performance efficacy.
