Brain insult is one of the main medical – social problems of current concern, both due to the high death-rate and severe residual physical disability caused by this illness. So far, one of the rehabilitation program elements, very widely discussed as a measure helping to recover functional independence of patients suffering from the after-effects of insult, is kinesitherapy. Implementation of the applied physical training in rehabilitation is not widely discussed yet. The objective of this study is to analyze the efficiency of educational experimental motor training program in the development of functional independence. Tasks of this study are as follows: • To assess the functional state of patients suffering from the effects of insult before rehabilitation; • To develop an education kinetic training program; • To assess the change functional state indicators at the end of rehabilitation period. • To assess the efficiency of experimental educational motor training program. This research has been conducted in a Public Institution Mazeikiai Hospital, in the department of in-patient rehabilitation, from 30 September 2004 to 29 December 2005. 80 brain insult patients were covered by this study. All of them were subdivided into two groups of 40 individuals in each: comparison group (CG) and experimental group (EG). A therapy of physical exercises was applied to the control group, while the experimental group underwent experimental educational motor training program. ... [to full text]

In the context of integration of the Lithuanian social service sector into the international social security system of the European Union where relations of market economy are getting more and more stronger, it is important to substantiate the trends and priorities for efficient development of the mentioned services. In order to ensure rendering of one of the types of the mentioned services – institutional care services – for elderly population not only by the objective structure and scope, but also to ensure sufficient funding thereof, it is necessary to identify the priorities and principles of efficient rendering of the mentioned services. Researches carried out in the European Union show that most of the goals of effectiveness of institutional care services (further – “the ICS”) for the elderly are short-term, driven to technical efficiency, where efforts are taken to render maximal quantity of services (of the definite quality) for the minimal ICS costs. However, the increasing need for these services in a result of new changes in the structure and values of the society is not adequate to public resources and does not ensure satisfaction of the ICS need either.

Teoriškai, akcijos rinkos kaina bei jos vidinė ir investicinė vertės efektyvioje rinkoje turėtų būti lygios. Tačiau visuotinai pripažįstama, kad rinka nėra visiškai efektyvi. Todėl prieš investuojant į akcijas būtina jas vertinti siekiant nustatyti jų tikrąsias vertes ir palyginti jas su šiuo metu rinkoje esančiomis šių akcijų rinkos kainomis. Darbe nagrinėjami vieni iš seniausiųjų fundamentaliųjų akcijų vertinimo modelių, turintys didžiausią ekonominį pagrindimą: dividendų diskontavimo ir kainos – pelno modeliai. Tačiau identifikuojamas nežinomas modelių taikymo efektyvumas besivystančiose, jaunose ir modeliais nepatikrintose akcijų rinkose. Todėl iškeliamas tikslas išnagrinėti akcijų vertinimo modelius ir įvertinti jų taikymo galimybes bei efektyvumą Lietuvos VP rinkoje. Siekiant tikslo nagrinėjami dividendų diskontavimo bei kainos – pelno modeliai, nustatomos jų taikymo galimybės bei teikiama nauda. Vertinamas jų taikymo efektyvumas Lietuvos VP rinkoje: tyrimo metu kiekvieno iš modelių pagalba apskaičiuojamos tikrosios akcijų vertės 2001-2007 metams pagal sekančių trijų metų faktinius duomenis. Gautos vertės lyginamos su rinkos kainomis bei priimami investavimo sprendimai. Pagal tikrąsias akcijų vertes ir priimtus investavimo sprendimus sudaromi atskiri investiciniai portfeliai. Pritaikius dividendų diskontavimo modelį nustatyta, kad šis modelis gali būti taikomas Lietuvos VP rinkoje ir dažniausiai efektyviai nustatyti rinkos neįvertintas akcijas, kas ypač svarbu vidutinio...

That is why stock should be evaluated and its real intrinsic value should be determined as well as compared to market price before investing. This paper investigates ones of the oldest fundamental stock valuation models that have heaviest economic substantiation: dividend discount model and price – earnings model. However, unknown application efficiency of these models is identified in emerging, young and unchecked stock markets. That is why the goal of this paper is to analyze stock valuation models and evaluate their application possibilities and efficiency in Lithuanian stock market. Dividend discount model and price – earnings model are analyzed, their application possibilities as well as benefit are determined. Research of their application efficiency in Lithuanian stock market is performed: the intrinsic values of years 2001-2007 are calculated using both models according data of following three years. Intrinsic values are compared with market prices. Investment decisions are made according those comparisons. Moreover, using information of intrinsic values and made investment decisions, investment portfolios are constructed. While dividend discount model have been tested, it was ascertained that this model can be applied in Lithuanian stock market and in most cases could determine undervalued stocks –... [to full text]

Temos aktualumas. Fiziniai aplinkos elementai vadinami paslaugų pagrindu, kuris apima visus organizacijos fizinius elementus, leidžiančius vartotojams ne tik numatyti paslaugų kokybę, bet ir susidaryti įmonės įvaizdį. Kadangi paslauga yra neapčiuopiama, norint sukurti vizualią asociaciją, reikia išryškinti su ta paslauga susijusius regimus materialinius dalykus (patalpas, paslaugą teikiančių asmenų išvaizdos detales), taip pat nemažai dėmesio skiriama pastato fasadui, interjerui, patalpų išplanavimui ir panašiai. Tuo siekiama sukurti tam tikrą vientisą stilių, kuris pabrėžtų pageidaujamos paslaugos savybes. Kuriant fizinę aplinką, reikia sukurti tokią fizinę aplinką, kad svečias pajustų paslaugos naudą, pasijustų laukiamas ir gerbiamas. Pardavimo efektyvumas prekybos ploto aplinkoje yra vienas svarbiausių faktorių prekybinėms kompanijoms. Todėl yra labai svarbu suvokti ir pritaikyti fizinės aplinkos elementus taip, kad sukurtoji prekybinio ploto fizinė aplinka skatintų potencialų vartotoją įsigyti prekes ar paslaugas. Mokslinė problema, jos aktualumas. Fizinės aplinkos įtaka mažmeninės prekybos rentabilumui pasaulinės praktikos kontekste, problemos tyrimas Lietuvoje iki šiol nebuvo plačiai išvystytas, kadangi nebuvo labai didelio tokios veiklos poreikio. A. Pajuodis (2005) įvardija dvi tokio fenomeno priežastis: akademinis problemos naujumas ir problemos neišryškinimas praktinėje organizacijų veikloje. Galima būtų suformuoti ir trečią priežastį – organizacijų vadovų... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / TAMUŠAUSKAS, Virginijus. (2010) .The Influence of Physical Education on Sales Efficiency.
