Due to the lack of complex research on people with epilepsy and emphasis on physical (body) functioning, the QOL in people with epilepsy is perceived unambiguously and poor knowledge of their QOL factors is noticed. Based on Amartya Sen's capability approach, the dissertation carry out a complex research on the QOL in people with epilepsy and its factors. The research in the dissertation reveal that people with epilepsy worst function in the social, cultural, political participation, health, employment, mobility, social relations, self-esteem and independence domains. The research revealed the disagreement of functioning and capabilities of people with epilepsy, especially of mobility, participation and employment domains. Major part of the people do not operate due to the fear of seizures and lack of willingness. The results of the research show that personal conversion factors have a great influence on QOL in people with epilepsy, especially their age, education and factors of the disease. When the disease symptoms are more obvious, the QOL in people with epilepsy is more influenced by the disease factors. When the disease symptoms are milder – the greater become personal conversion factors. The impact of stigma for QOL in people with epilepsy remains even if the epileptic symptoms are not so visible. The assessment of the domain of agency used in the research revealed that people with epilepsy lack their personal perception they do not perceive themselves as the main agents in their lives.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the change of functional and physical capability indicators of basic military cadets over 12 weeks. In order to reach the aim, several objectives are identified: to determine the physical capability indicators of basic military training cadets at the beginning of the course and after 12 weeks; to set the functional capability indicators of cadets at the beginning of the course and after 12 weeks; to assess the interfaces of functional and physical capability of cadets. The research was conducted in Lithuanian Great Hetman Jonušas Radvila Training Regiment, respondents - basic military training (GCM) cadets (n = 158), age - 18-29 (21.75 ± 0.22) years. All respondents participated in basic military training course, which lasted 12 weeks. It was applied general (lasted 43 hrs.) and special (lasted 10 hrs.) physical training in the course. The research was carried out two times: at the beginning and at the end of the GCM course. The physical indicators of respondents were evaluated according to annual military physical fitness test (PFT), which is applied to military structures. To assess functional parameters were used these things: spirometer (Micro PLUS), arterial blood pressure cuff (OMRON M10-IT), cardiac monitor (POLAR RCXS) Rufje test, Harvard test. Statistical analysis was performed using statistical program IBM Statistics SPSS 20.0 and Microsoft Excel 2007. The results showed that after twelve weeks of basic military training cadets' physical fitness has increased: general endurance, strength endurance of abdominal muscles and shoulder, arm extensor, chest muscle. It was also found that basic military training has a positive effect on the functional capability of the guys: vital capacity, forced expiratory volume of air and maximum expiratory flow rate have significantly increased. It was observed that heart rate of trainees was significantly decreased at rest or during exercise and recovered faster after some activity.

The publication was compiled to provide the Lithuanian reader with a comprehensive understanding of gender responsive economic initiatives. It provides a conceptual and theoretical framework, traces the evolution of work in this area, shows how gender economics and gender analysis have been used as a tool of a more efficient allocation of economic resources. The article outlines and discusses the main gender problems and their impact into the government economic policy not only on the micro– but on the macro level too. It is the discussion about the gender responsive budget, trade liberalisation and gender impact into the trade liberalisation and gender responsive financial policy. The author concludes the integration and implementation of the gender analysis into the Lithuanian government economic policy could accelerate the sustainable economic growth and soften the consequences of globalisation process.

In this work the development and transformation of the defense capability (it embraces not only military but also political and diplomatic instruments) of the Republic of Lithuania in 1990-2004 is analyzed in a general sense. The research is based on unpublished archival sources, official documents and historiography and evaluates the totality of decisions, actions and circumstances, that created opportunities for the Republic of Lithuania to move from a militarily weak state to a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and to build up a qualified military force and effectively resolve the national security threats during 1990-2004. The paper analyzes the restoration of the defense capability of the Republic of Lithuania in the initial stage of individual defense (until 1994), political development of defense capability by joining NATO, military strengthening and foreign support in transforming Lithuanian armed forces, development and transformation of territorial defense and an asymmetric response, moving from the principle of individual to collective defense.
