    Objectives: to compare and to assess differences of voice quality measured by voice range and spectral range profiles in vocally healthy trained and untrained age and gender differentiated subject groups. Material and methods: Nine quantitative parameters of singing voice derived from voice range profile (VRP) and spectral range profile (SRP) were taken and analyzed from 24 vocally healthy trained voice subjects: 12 adults (aged 18-54 years) and 12 children before maturation (aged 7-13 years) and 55 healthy untrained voice subjects: 44 adults (aged 18-66 years) and 11 children (aged 5-12 years). Results: When compared to non-singers, both genders of trained adult and child singers exhibited significantly increased mean pitch range and highest frequency of VRP. Adult singers also showed significantly increased means of total VRP area and area in high frequencies, regardless of gender. Means of coefficient of sound derived from SRP and representing the percent ratio of the singer’s format level and maximum voice sound pressure level differ significantly only for adults. This parameter for adults and pitch range for children were the most sensitive in discrimination between trained and untrained voices. Conclusions: Vocally healthy trained voice adults and children demonstrate better voice quality measured by VRP and SRP in comparison to healthy untrained subjects. Quantitative voice assessment with voice range and spectral range profiles may be helpful for evaluation of voice training effects in everyday practice for adults and children.

    1991-2017 the Southeast coast of the Baltic Sea area, Lithuania, Latvia and Kaliningrad Region of the Russian coastal habitats was very intense, often chaotic variety of recreational facilities and areas of privatization and urbanization. These processes significantly influenced the character of the recreational landscape of Palanga, Jurmala and other resorts and coastal areas, as well as the expression of the urban structure and architecture of seaside towns, Ventspils, Liepaja, Giruliai, Melnragė, Karklė, Šventoji, Curonian Spit and other settlements. After a quarter of a century, some tendencies of the recreational environment and the evolution of the cultural landscape identity can be noticed. Recently, several projects for the improvement of recreational infrastructure and architectural environments have been implemented in Lithuania with the assistance of the European Union Structural Funds. Unfortunately, the results of the projects are not always positive. The planning of coastal settlements is often overlooked by good long-term planning experience. This article analyses the impact of changes in the quality of the Lithuanian recreational territorial system in the South- Eastern Baltic and the region’s recreational potential. Palanga resort areas dominated by architectural chaos and recreational quality of the environment tended to deteriorate, especially experts poorly assessed the central Basanavičiaus street. The changes in cultural landscapes are influenced by a whole range of methodological and practical factors: insufficiently effective research and modeling methods, unjustified privatization of state property, huge flows of individual automobiles, faults in the formation of recreational greenery.

    The necessity to achieve a better management of collections in museums, botanical gardens, and herbariums motivated the first efforts in the direction of developing tools that were based on databases. Botanical Garden of Klaipeda University created the plants database ‘Klaibota’. This database provides standardized information concerning all vascular plants. The database displays the elements of all ranks, ranging from kingdom to whatever other rank is chosen; as well as information about plant morphology, ecology, geography ant other.

    Long term projection of N and P concentrations in surface and ground waters cannot be entirely achieved unless groundwater features and processes affecting nutrients at the watershed scale are considered. This work presents the general approach of the INTEGRON project whose aim is to "square the cycle" in nutrient budgets, evaluating the role of groundwater as a temporary/permanent sink or as a release term at the catchment scale, in the Adda and the Ticino basins (northern Italy). An integrated approach is currently tested, which considers surface and groundwater, N and P species combining hydrogeology, biogeochemistry and socio-hydrogeology. The availability of nutrient excess, the nutrient increase in rivers during the irrigation period, and nitrate trends in different groundwater bodies confirm that groundwater in the area acts as both sink and source term of nutrients. Given the complexity of the studied system, the proposed multidisciplinary approach can permit to effectively implement science-based management strategies for water protection that consider both the social and environmental domains.

    The fatal social disasters have taken place in the city of Klaipėda by the end of the Second World War. After 1945, very few local bilingual (Lithuanian and German speaking) people could be found in Klaipėda. Almost all of the survivors had moved to Germany to escape the Soviet occupation. Soviet authorities created favourable social conditions for skilled volunteers, who came to deserted city from other regions of Lithuania, and from all over the Soviet Union, to work in Klaipėda port and to restore the entire marine industry in the 1950s–1960s period. The Russian, Belorussian, German, Jewish, Ukrainian, Polish, Latvian, Tartar, Armenian, Azerbaijani, and other national minorities have become an integral part of the social and cultural life in contemporary Klaipėda. In the light of these historical facts, the goal of the article is to discuss the possibilities of the most representative national societies to maintain and promote their ethnic roots, traditions and the authentic folklore in the city at present times.

    Iššūkiai, su kuriais susiduria šiuolaikinės organizacijos, reikalauja iš jų vadovų ne tik adekvačiai į juos reaguoti, bet ir juos valdyti. Vienas svarbiausių organizacinių pokyčių valdymo veiksmingumo veiksnių – organizacijų vadovų emocinis intelektas (EI) ir su tuo tiesiogiai susijusi organizacinė kultūra (OK). Šio tyrimo tikslas – teoriškai pagrindus organizacijų vadovų emocinio intelekto (EI) poveikį OK, pateikti tai atspindintį modelį.

    Jūrinių profesijų specialistų darbo rinka pasižymi ypatingais darbo vietų teisinio reglamentavimo pokyčiais. Tai skatina atlikti jūrinių profesijų specialistų karjeros projektavimo ir įgyvendinimo veiksnių tyrimus. Šio straipsnio tikslas – identifi - kuoti jūrinės profesijos specialistų tolesnės karjeros projektavimo ir įgyvendinimo veiksnius. Praktinis tyrimo reikšmingu - mas sietinas su jūrinių profesijų specialistų karjeros projektavimo kompetencijų ugdymo realizavimu. Teorinėje straipsnio dalyje nagrinėjami profesijos pasirinkimo klausimai, karjeros, karjeros projektavimo sampratos. Empirinėje dalyje, atlikus kiekybinį bei kokybinius tyrimus, nustatyti jūrinių profesijų specialistų karjeros siekį skatinantys ir slopinantys veiksniai. Analizuojant jūrinių profesijų specialistų karjeros projektavimo ir įgyvendinimo teorinius pagrindus buvo nustatyta, kad jūrininko profesija sudaro sąlygas žmogui apsirūpinti materialiai, sudaro prielaidas įsitraukti į visuome - ninį gyvenimą, kurti dvasines vertybes, užtikrinti poreikių ir lūkesčių dermę. Tiriant jūrinės profesijos specialistų karjeros projektavimo ir įgyvendinimo veiksnius buvo nustatyta, kad didžiosios dalies jūrininkų profesijos pasirinkimą lėmė subjek - tyvūs veiksniai, t. y. tai, kad jūrinių profesijų specialistai norėjo patenkinti savo interesus, profesija atitiko jų pomėgius, pa - dėjo atskleisti charakterio bruožus. Objektyvių veiksnių poveikis profesijos pasirinkimui buvo ženkliai silpnesnis. Šių speci - alistų jūrinio laipsnio ir ketinamo įgyti jūrinio laipsnio analizė parodė, kad didžioji dalis respondentų ketina siekti aukštesnio lygio jūrinio laipsnio. Tai būdinga tiek laivavedybos, tiek ir inžinerinius jūrinius laipsnius turintiems jūrininkams, tačiau turintieji žemiausius laipsnius siekia įgyti keliais lygiais aukštesnius jūrinius laipsnius, ir tai būdingiau jaunesnei responden - tų daliai.
