Pastaraisiais metais yra ypač pakilęs susidomėjimas investicijomis vertybinių popierių biržoje. Žmonės vis dažniau prekiauja vertybinių popierių biržoje, vieni patys sudarydami ir valdydami savo investicinį portfelį, o kiti investicinio portfelio sudarymą patiki įvairioms finansinių maklerių įmonėms ar bankams. Tačiau šį susidomėjimą „atvėsino“ šiuo metu finansų rinkose vyraujanti situacija - vertybinių popierių kainų svyravimai yra didžiuliai ir nenuspėjami. Kadangi Lietuvoje investavimas dar yra naujovė, prastos žinios iš už Atlanto nepatyrusiam investuotojui gali sukelti didesnę paniką, nei ji iš tikrųjų turėtų būti. Ir tai kas vyksta finansų rinkose yra, ko gero, pirmas kartas, kai Lietuvos investuotojai tiesiogiai susidūrė su didesniu nei norėtųsi rinkų kritimu. Problema: Mokslinės literatūros įvairiais vertybinių popierių biržų veikimo, vertybinių popierių prekybos klausimais yra labai daug. Mokslinėse publikacijose, ypač užsienio autorių, didelis dėmesys skiriamas rinkos mikrostruktūros, prekybos vertybiniais popieriais efektyvumo klausimams, investicijų grąžos vertinimui. Tačiau reikia pastebėti, kad palyginus mažai nagrinėjama finansų rinkų pokyčiai keičiantis ekonominiams ciklams, jų poveikis investicijų rezultatams. Tuo tarpu finansų krizės bei ekonominio nuosmukio sąlygomis tai tampa viena iš aktualiausių problemų. Darbo tikslas: Išanalizuoti finansų rinkos pokyčius Lietuvoje, bei atskleisti jos tolimesnės plėtros galimybes. Pirmoje darbo dalyje trumpai...

More and more often people trade at a stock exchange making and managing an investment portfolio at their own discretion, whereas others trust formation of an investment portfolio to a range of financial brokerage companies or banks. This interest, however, has been cooled down by the situation prevailing in the financial markets at the moment – securities price fluctuations are enormous and unpredictable. As investment in Lithuania is still a new thing, bad news from across the Atlantic may cause a greater panic for an inexperienced investor than it really should be. Furthermore, the processes taking place in financial markets most likely represent the first time when Lithuanian investors have encountered directly a fall in markets that is greater than one could wish. Problem: Just very few scientific literature sources dealing with operation of the stock exchange and securities trade are available. Scientific publications, especially those by foreign authors, pay great attention to efficiency of the market micro structure and securities trade as well as to assessment of return on investment. It shall be noted, however, that examination of changes in financial markets under changing economic cycles as well as impact thereof on investment results is relatively low, whereas under conditions of a financial crisis and economic recession this issue becomes one of the most relevant problems.

Intensyviai plėtojantis socialinio darbo specialybei, sparčiai kintančioje Lietuvos visuomenėje, neįgaliųjų socialinis dalyvavimas tampa vienu įdomesniu socialinio darbo tyrinėjimo klausimu, nes paliečia kertinius šios profesinės veiklos principus. Darbe yra aptariama konkreti socialinė problema, būtent potencialiai socialiai atskirtų sutrikusio intelekto asmenų socialinis dalyvavimas. Darbo tikslas – atskleisti sutrikusio intelekto asmenų socialinio dalyvavimo raišką ir plėtotės galimybes. / Under conditions of intensive development of the social work speciality and in the rapidly changing Lithuanian society, social involvement of the disabled is becoming an interesting problem of research into social work since it refers to the key principles of this activity. The thesis analyses a specific social problem: social involvement of potentially socially excluded mentally disabled people. The aim of the study is to reveal the forms and development possibilities for social involvement of mentally retarded people.

Emotional home demands, cognitive home demands, home pressure, development possibilities, autonomy, social support, nonwork–work interference, spouse–work interference, parent–work interference, religion/spiritual–work interference, domestic–work interference, health, exhaustion, cognitive weariness, life satisfaction, dual earner parents Dual earner parents have become the norm in today’s workplace (Weigel, Weigel, Berger, Cook, & Delcampo, 1995). Dual earner parents face many challenging roles that they have to try to balance; these include being a parent, spouse, employee, being involved in religious practices and juggling domestic responsibilities. According to Duxbury and Higgins (1991), it is very difficult for such parents to balance their various roles and multiple demands. All these challenging demands (home characteristics) can cause nonwork–interference which can, in turn, lead to well–being problems (Magnus & Viswesvaran, 2005). The general objective of this study is to investigate the home characteristics, nonwork–work interference and well–being of a sample of dual earner parents. A convenience sample of dual earner parents (N=207) was taken in the Vaal Triangle area in Gauteng. The following scales was used within this study: the Home Demands Scale (Peeters et al., 2005), Home Resources Scale (Demerouti et al., 2010); the Work–nonwork Interference Scale (Koekemoer, Mostert, & Rothmann, 2010); the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) (Goldberg, & Williams, 1988); and the OLBI (Oldenburg Burnout Inventory) Scale measuring exhaustion, Cognitive weariness (Van Horn et al., 2004); and life satisfaction (Diener et al., 1985). Descriptive statistics, Cronbach alpha coefficients, product moment correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to analyse the data. The results indicated that emotional home demands and lack of autonomy significantly predict physical ill health; emotional home demands and spouse–work interference significantly predict anxiety; and emotional home demands significantly predict depression. Gender, home pressure, developmental possibilities and parent–work interference were, in turn, significant predictors of exhaustion. Recommendations were made for future research and also, on a more practical level, for dual earner parents. One of the recommendations is that one needs to investigate the possible cross–over and spillover effects of work–nonwork interference between wives and husbands. Another is to investigate the positive side of work–nonwork interference. / Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.
