The Effectiveness of Video Creation in the ESL Classroom in Lithuania: A Case Study
Full text linkPurpose: The growing number of research investigating the efficacy of Web 2.0
tools in the ESP classroom (Selevičienė, 2020; Almuhaisen et al, 2020; Rodgers & Dhonnchadha, 2018; Šulovská, 2013) has revealed the positive effect of technology integration
on the development of students’ language learning in higher education. However, the
implementation of web-based technologies, namely digital video creation for language
learning, has been scarcely discussed through the prism of a K-12 environment. The
purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of video making in L2 acquisition of
English from the perspective of secondary learners and explicate the potential strengths
and weaknesses of its utilisation in the ESL classroom
Theoretical and Practical Problems of the Implementation of the Principle of Mediator Impartiality in Lithuania
No full textThree years have passed since January 1st, 2019, when
a new wording of the Law on Mediation, which envisaged significant
changes in the application and management of mediation, entered into
force. There is a natural need for more detailed analysis of the challenges
faced by the new Institute of Mediation in Lithuania and the evaluation
of whether the chosen model for regulating the activities of mediators is
sufficient to ensure one of the most important principles of mediation
– the impartiality of the mediator. Until now, Lithuanian legal doctrine
has focused on general knowledge about mediation, its stages, and its
principles. The rather liberal model of regulation of mediators chosen
by the legislature specifies the principles to be followed by the mediator,
but does not provide details nor implement provisions. Representatives
of different professions are engaged in mediator activities in Lithuania;
therefore, it is natural that their knowledge of what mediation is, its principles,
and the actions of a mediator that are considered appropriate in
practice and are in accordance with the European Code of Conduct for
Mediators is very different. The purpose of this article is to reveal the
concept of the principle of mediator impartiality and its ambiguity by
identifying the content of the national legislation governing mediation
and to review the problems encountered in the implementation of the
principle of impartiality in practice in Lithuania
Lithuanian Poetry Translation to Spanish: A Review of Two Decades (2000–2021)

fact, do not have any direct links with the history of translation. The current article aims
to review the scope of translation of Lithuanian poetry into Spanish over two decades
(2000–2021)

Legal Cooperation in Criminal Meters: Thirty-Years' Experience of the Baltic States
Full text linkCC BY 4.0This article overviews the 30 years of experience of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia in developing national systems of legal
cooperation in criminal matters. In order to reveal individual experiences of the three States, the developments of law and practice of each
State from the re-establishment of its independence to the present day are covered in separate sections of the article. For this purpose,
experiences related to the development of national laws are presented over two time periods – before and after membership in the European
Union. The experience of each State in concluding different international agreements on legal cooperation in criminal matters is also
discussed. Considerable attention is paid to the implementation of the secondary legislation of the European Union, such as Council
framework decisions and directives. Irrespective of the membership of the Baltic States in the European Union and the areas of freedom,
security and justice developed in this area on the basis of the principle of mutual recognition, the system of cooperation with third countries
retains its particular relevance and is also analysed in this article. In order to reveal the positive and negative experience of each State in
this area after the re-establishment of independence, an analysis is conducted of both national and international legislative provisions. The
article also highlights and explores the main transformation trends of international legal cooperation in criminal matters in an effort to
create fast and smooth criminal proceedings in line with the highest standards of human rights protection, where much importance and
significance is attributed to legal cooperation both within the European Union and in relationships with third countries
Hibridinė politika ir administravimas kaip Ukrainos socialinės tvarkos nenuoseklumo pasekmė: Maxo Weberio teorijos tvarumo problema
No full textCC BY-NC-ND 4.0This paper focuses on the hybrid nature of the Ukrainian political and administrative
process. It argues that the deeply rooted inconsistency of social order in Ukraine was produced by the
rapid redefinition of the basic principles of economic and social life in the last two decades, after the
fall of the Soviet Union. The lack of legitimacy is the core reason for this hybridity and is a problem of
cultural and social values. A legitimacy deficit brings plebiscitary trends to politics and develops instability in legislation and administration. This research applies the potential of Max Weber’s theory to
explain previous internal political crises and to accentuate the consequences for public administration
in Ukraine. A comparative juxtaposition of Weberian concepts and meanings can be used to develop
a more refined description of the Ukrainian situation. The results of sociological monitoring validate
these research conclusions. Hybridity and plebiscitarianism threaten the values of Ukrainian democracy and impede democratic governance. Only comprehensive political and administrative efforts can
ensure the integrity of this order and decrease the risk of far-reaching instability
An Assessment of the Impact of the Drivers of Outsourcing on Service Delivery in Organisational Networks
Full text linkCC BY 4.0The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many areas of business to make
changes, including: rethinking business strategies; using new ways of organising activities; optimising processes; and using outsourcing. These changes have in turn led to changes in organisational structure and modes of
operation in corporate networks. Based on process models and the drivers
that give rise to outsourcing, a theoretical model of the impact of drivers of
outsourcing on the formation of networks of service organisations was
developed. The interfaces between outsourcing and the networking of service organisations were then revealed in order to highlight the components
and results of this interaction. The case study method was used to test the
theoretical assumptions and the practical application of this model, which
revealed the peculiarities of service organisations operating in international
and local markets. Along with an analysis of the scientific literature, these
case studies justified organisational changes in the delivery of services
through differences in the implementation of outsourcing, and highlighted
direct links with the drivers of outsourcing. The impact of technological and
strategic drivers on the implementation of outsourcing has been identified,
where a merger or the creation of a legally-linked entity leads to both vertical and horizontal networking
