Political freedom cannot be separated from the freedom of conscience, reason and thought. Christian vocation to evangelize concerns the teachers of theology who following theological methods are responsible for seeking suitable ways to preach Christian teaching to the people of their time. The journal SOTER opens this possibility in Lithuania. The aim of the article – to reveal quantitative and qualitative aspects of the scientific topics of the journal. The tasks of the article: 1) to show the importance of theology science in spreading Christian culture; 2) to identify the seeking of wisdom and truth in philosophical tradition; 3) to show the priority of Catholic educa tion; 4) to do research on folk devotions, ethnoculture, Christian art and culture; 5) to give the structural analysis and methodology of the SOTER scientific publications. The Methods: Quantitative, qualitative and statistical methods are used in order to research the topics of the publications and interdisciplinary aspects of them: a detailed analysis of the contents, the programme of mathematical statistics (Microsoft Excel). The freedom of religion is a cultural value. Through culture the Church becomes closer to the nations but as a sign of transcendence, in different cultures it has to preserve the identity of the faith. The care about the objectives of the faith enables the Church to educate clerics and lay people on a high level of theology. The journal SOTER published a lot of articles by the scientists of theology during the ten years. These are the publi-cations on Church history, dogmatic, moral, pastoral, fundamental, ecumenical, spiritual theology, vocations, liturgy, Canon Law, Catholic social teaching. Different theological topics are rather proportional in the journal. [.]

The present study has attempted the analysis of public discourse and its moral expectations through metaphor at a contrastive level in the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics. The study deals with the identification of morality models in public discourse in English and Lithuanian. The materials of the study consist of analytical political articles extracted from the online archives of two following websites: (1) www.economist.com, (2) www.politika.lt. The collected data amounts to 415, 670 words in total. Three methods of analysis were applied to the collected data: qualitative, quantitative and contrastive. The analysis reveals that political affairs in both cultures are framed by the same conceptual metaphors. The structural composition of the conceptual metaphors has been examined in terms of the following thirteen SOURCE domains: MOTION, RELATIONSHIP, STRENGTH, HEALTH, SPORTS, WAR, ESSENCE, BUSINESS, DIRT, SENSES, WHOLENESS, THEATRE, and ANIMALS. The cross-mapping between SOURCE domains and TARGET domains is held by different epistemic correspondences, which leads to the variability of MORALITY models across the two languages, i.e. English and Lithuanian. British politics tends to be more varied in its moral expectations, which derive from three types of Morality Systems: Pragmatic, Rational and Integrated. Thus, the moral expectations governing British political discourse are based on the Complex Morality Model. By contrast, Lithuanian politics is predominantly governed by the Pragmatic Morality Model.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to analyse the activity management of elderships in Marijampolė municipality. Democracy that functions on a local-government level, gives the opportunity for the citizens to maintain a close contact with administrative institutions and participate in government matters directly. With the intent to expand the accessibility of public services, municipalities establish certain sub-units, i.e., elderships, which could be defined as public sector organizations, operating as structural territorial units of different municipalities. This ensures the cooperation between the citizens and public administration institutions, leading to governance on a nationwide scale. Researchers' interest in government activity management models in the public sector extends over the boundaries of Lithuania and this issue is also relevant abroad. There is a gap of knowledge, however, how the mechanisms of eldership activity management are implemented in governance. It is generally agreed that such organizations provide the necessary tools to involve local communities into government matters. For this reason, it is essential to monitor the activity management in elderships. In order to determine the characteristics of eldership management in Marijampolė municipality and provide the recommendations for its improvement, three objectives have been set: to analyse the activity management principles in elderships in the context of public sector organizations; taking into account the eldership activity management models and the processes within them, to identify the territorial administration practices employed abroad, as well as the legal regulations regarding elderships in Lithuania; to conduct an analysis of eldership activity management in Marijampolė municipality. To achieve this, relevant scientific literature, legal acts and regulations, statistical data, and documents were evaluated. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to investigate the eldership activity management practices in Marijampolė municipality. The preferred data collection of this research paper was interviewing an expert. This master's thesis consists of summaries in both Lithuanian and English, an introduction, a literature review, empirical part, conclusions, recommendations, a reference list, and sources. Initially, taking into consideration the information provided in scientific literature, the characteristics of eldership activity management, as a unit of public sector organizations, are provided; this includes the model for eldership activity management. Subsequently, the legal acts and regulations regarding eldership management, as well as the practices in the European Union and Lithuania, are examined. The information gathered from various documents concerned with eldership management, relevant in both the European Union and Lithuania, is presented. Additionally, this part introduces the theoretical model for eldership activity management and implementation in Lithuania. Lastly, the third part contains the analysis results of eldership activity management in Marijampolė municipality. This was achieved via semi-structured interviews with experts and investigation of legal acts and regulations with concern to eldership activity management. The analysis is carried out following the eldership activity management principles described in the theoretical parts. The conclusions and recommendations serve as the endpoint of this study.

The topic of this master paper is "Content analysis of nutrition competences of Vilkaviškis district 8th-formers." Relevance of the topic. European Union documents emphasize that rapid changes in economic, political and social life depend on the development of high quality knowledge, abilities and competences on personal, local and national levels. Therefore the foci in educational system have also changed: there is transition from stressing the importance of knowledge acquisition to competence development, i.e. it is important not only what a person knows but also how and when he/she applies his/her knowledge; thus a competent personality is to be developed. The aim of the research is to perform content analysis of 8th-formers' nutrition competences. The following research methods were applied: 1. Analysis of scientific literature and documents; 2. Pupils' and teachers' questionnaire survey; 3. Statistical data analysis; 4. Qualitative data analysis. Results of the research. To learn about nutrition competences of Vilkaviškis district 8th-formers a quantitative and qualitative research was carried out. A questionnaire survey aimed at finding out teachers' opinion about their pupils' nutrition competences being developed. Quantitative data analysis has revealed that in pupils' opinion they have developed the Learning to Learn, health and life skills, as well as communication competences best. Qualitative research method was used to survey teachers' opinion about their pupils' nutrition competences being developed. It turned out that the majority of the teachers think that for the most part pupils' health and life skills are developed during nutrition classes. Research data analysis has revealed that during nutrition classes of technology lesssons teachers mostly develop their pupils' technological competences through practice saying that this is the best way to develop pupils' health and life skills. Curriculum Guidelines and Education Standards outline how pupils should be taught so that they could acquire the necessary knowledge, develop the main abilities and values. The majority of the teacher respondents strictly follow Curriculum Guidelines and Education Standards and apply various visual means and active teaching/learning methods in order to make the information conveyed easier for the learners to understand. Qualitative research data has shown that teachers do not encourage learners' independence by developing their Learning to Learn competence since they provide their pupils with the main information themselves.
