Disertacijoje tiriama dabartinė lietuvių paremijų (gr. paroimia – priežodis, patarlė, sentencija) gyvavimo situacija, siekiama parodyti visą funkcionuojančių paremijų spektrą ir atrasti kuo daugiau jų vartojimo sričių ir paskirčių. Šiuo darbu įtvirtinamas platesnis nei iki šiol buvęs lietuvių paremiologijos objektas – tiriamos tiek tebevartojamas tradicinės paremijos, tiek tradicinių paremijų perdirbiniai – antiparemijos, taip pat pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais į apyvartą atėjusios naujosios paremijos. Parodyta ne tik kanoninio, bet ir kūrybiško tradicinių paremijų taikymo galimybių įvairovė (perfrazavimas, aliuzija ir kt.). Pristatyti struktūriniai antiparemijų kūrimo modeliai (substitucija, pridėjimas, atėmimas, kontaminacija, imitavimas) bei semantinės priemonės. Naujosios paremijos grupuojamos pagal kilmę (kilusios iš antiparemijų; vertiniai; šūkiai; citatos; žinomos autorystės posakiai; paremiški posakiai). Pareminių naujadarų klodo formavimasis pristatomas kaip integrali tarptautinio proceso dalis. Tyrimui surinktos lietuvių antiparemijos teikiamos kaip disertacijos priedas, kurį vėliau numatoma išleisti kaip atskirą antiparemijų rinkinį. Tyrimas parodė, kad lietuvių paremijos XX–XXI a. sandūroje vertintinos kaip aktyviai vartojamas ir modifikuojamas, įvairiais būdais atsinaujinantis ir šiuolaikinėje kultūrinėje aplinkoje pritampantis folkloro žanras. / The subject of the dissertation is the contemporary situation of the Lithuanian paremias (Greek paroimia ‘proverb, saying, maxim’); it is an attempt to demonstrate the whole spectrum of the current paremias as well as to reveal the spheres and purposes of their use. In this work, considerably wider subject of the Lithuanian paremiology than the preceding one is established: the investigation embraces not only the traditional paremias that are still in use, but also the transformations of the traditional paremias, i.e. the anti-paremias, as well as the new paremias. The possible variety of both the canonic and creative applications of paremias is demonstrated, including rephrasing, allusion, etc. The structural patterns of creating the anti-paremias are introduced, such as substitution, addition, deduction, contamination, imitation, as well as semantic means. The new paremias are grouped genetically (those originating from anti-paremias, translations, slogans, quotations, etc.). The Lithuanian anti-paremias collected for the research purposes are presented in an appendix to the dissertation. As proved by the research, the Lithuanian paremias at the turn of the 20th –21st centuries should be regarded as a folklore genre that is being actively used and reshaped, diversely renewed and adapted to the modern cultural environment.

The factors of psychological training of athletes are researched not sufficiently enough. Many authors underline that psychological training of athletes is a complicated process, without which the development of modern sports is impossible. The problem of study is that data, which would reveal the influence of psychological training program on psychological skills that, are: imagery creation skills, stress management skills, management of mental energy, concentration skills, self confidence and goal setting skills. The purpose of this study is to establish the influence of psychological training program on the psychological skills of basketball players. Objectives: to establish level of psychological skills before and after psychological training program. Data were obtained from a sample of 14 basketball players competing in Lithuanian basketball “A” league. Effectiveness of psychological training program was evaluated through (a) Training experiment (the psychological training program), (b) the psychological tests, and (c) mathematical statistics. The results indicated an increase in all investigated psychological skills. Although not all results showed a reliable difference, but stress management, self confidence and goal setting skills managed to show a reliable difference between two cases. Results confirmed that even a minimal psychological training program is effective for athletes all over the world.

Information technologies and mobile telecommunications rapidly enter our personal and social life. Mobile phone is no longer luxury – it has become a necessity. Growing volumes of the mobile services has caused a need to expand the mobile service employment opportunities in the Internet portals. Today’s portals, created using the means, offered by software manufacturers, employ exclusively the mobile Internet service, thanks to which the users can see and manage the necessary information and process of the portal at any time and from anywhere. The problem is related with the fact that mobile Internet services are still expensive in Lithuania. Therefore one should look for cheaper ways to reach and manage portal information. In order to solve this problem one can consider the SMS and MMS message sending, suggested by mobile technologies. Basic aim of the work is to create an entertainment portal, rendering the user both various Internet entertainments (e.g. Internet acquaintances, games), and mobile entertainment (e.g. sending messages, logos, melodies, animations and games for mobile phone) as well as a wide range of mobile services to be used to obtain and to manage the portal information. In the work I describe: portal evolution, classification and creation measures („BroadVision Portal“, „IBM WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms v5.x“, „Sun One Portal Server v6.0“, „Red Hat Enterprise Portal Server“, „Microsoft SharePoint® Portal Server 2003“, „ORACLE 9ias Portal“, „PHP:...
