Atliktų veiklos auditų raida ir poveikis: Kroatijos, Bosnijos ir Hercegovinos bei Slovėnijos atvejis
No full textCC BY-NC-ND 4.0In the modern world, the availability of transparent and reliable information about
the performance of public sector entities is becoming increasingly important. Besides the accounting
systems that provide this information, the role of Supreme Audit Institutions is growing. As previous
research in Europe has focused on EU or Nordic countries, the intention of our paper was to analyze
the development of performance audits in selected south-east European countries. The results show
that performance audits are still less of a priority for auditors and parliaments, and the impacts of
performance audits are realized through follow-up processes
Scientific-practical competence of the forensic expert performing deonthological examination
No full textIn the article, the authors discuss the features and conditions
of becoming a forensic expert in deontological examination.
There is a focus on the requirements for a forensic
medicine (deontology) doctor and their compliance with the
competence and qualification requirements for a forensic
expert. After carrying out the analyzes of legal regulation, of
the special literature authors came to the general conclusion
that the deontological examination is one of the few forensic
areas, which is already being lectured in universities. In
the course of university training and studies, a person also
participates in training organized by expert institutions (State
service of forensic medicine examination). Accordingly, the
medical norms of Lithuania specify that a forensic doctor
must be able to assess the errors of treatment and doctors
when performing deontological (quality of treatment) tests
in accordance with the assigned competence; carry out deontological (treatment quality) studies according to the
assigned competence (clauses 14.1., 14.29.). Thus, a person
who has acquired the professional qualification of a forensic
medicine doctor must be able to assess the errors of treatment
and doctors according to the specified description. i. e. conduct
a deontological investigation. However, these scientific
and practical competences in themselves are not enough for
a person to be included in the list of Lithuanian forensic
experts. For inclusion, it is necessary to additionally pass
exams reflecting the content and knowledge of procedural
competence of a person, such as status of forensic expert
in criminal, (civil) procedure, his/her rights and obligation,
documentation of forensic examination, etc
Aktyvesnis pilietinis dalyvavimas priimant sprendimus: galimybių paieškos
No full textCC BY-NC-ND 4.0The purpose of this article is to introduce two items.
1) The Civil Participation Tool, developed by the Council of Europe’s Centre of Expertise for
Good Governance (2020) for the purposes of: selecting, evaluating, and classifying civil actors (stakeholders) into groups; selecting the most appropriate forms of participation in decision-making processes; providing accurate information for classified civil actors (stakeholders); developing the most
appropriate strategies to activate the processes of participation for different civil actors (stakeholders)
based on the assessment of their potential to engage; and enhancing the level of participation.
2) The results of educational pilot projects implemented in 6 Lithuanian municipalities in 2020.
These projects confirmed the scientific hypothesis of this article: that more active civil participation in
decision-making processes can be expected when the objective differences of local civil actors (stakeholders) are recognized. According to this, different forms of civil participation should be provided as
well as different strategies for improving skills and increasing civil engagement in decision-making
processes

Get PDFEnsuring the Childís Right to Communication With Both Parents in the Context of Parental Divorce: A Lithuanian Case Study
Get PDFCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Reflecting on the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, which emphasises that progress
in sustainable development depends on ensuring prosperity, and in line with the Sustainable Development Goal 3, which aims to promote the well-being of all age groups,
including children, this study aims to examine the child's legitimate right to communicate
with both parents in the context of divorce and support arrangements. Filling the gaps
in previous research, our research problem is focused on analysing the impact on
sustainability, the child's emotional well-being and the protection of the child's rights
in the situation of parental divorce. Following the emergent approach, an instrumental
case study design and a qualitative research strategy were employed using methods
such as content analysis of legal documents and semi-structured interviews. The research
questions addressed two dimensions of the analysis: the factors contributing to the
exercise of the child's right to communicate with the separated parent; and violations of
the child's rights where the child's right to communicate with both parents is not properly
ensured or not at all ensured. The results of this study reveal that the parent living with
the child after the divorce acts contrary to the best interests of the child, denying the
child's inherent right to be raised and educated by both parents
Visuomenės pasitikėjimo Covid-19 vakcinacijos atžvilgiu veiksniai: kaip gero valdymo Indonezijoje atspindys
No full textCC BYGood governance is an approach to creating good organizational management
founded under the principles of transparency, equity, and accountability to achieve organizational
goals. The rising public demand for good governance has encouraged the central and local
governments to apply transparency and accountability in their administration. Public distrust of the
government in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic through the vaccine program can be affected by
the level of education, age, political affiliation, religion, and perceived experience. The community
assumes that every action decided by the government always involves political and economic
interests; the government takes advantage of the momentum amidst the calamities suffered by the
community. The purpose of this study is to examine the trust factor, political party, and level of
education in correlation with the influence of the variable level of public trust in the Covid-19 vaccine
program as an embodiment of good governance. This study is descriptive quantitative research. The
primary data used derives from questionnaires distributed via Google Form with a total of 391
respondents. The results from the analysis and discussion indicated that all utilized variables in this
study for both the independent variable of public trust and moderation variables (religion, political
affiliation, and education level) affect the transparency of good governance in the delivery of the
Covid-19 vaccine program. It is also known that the moderation variables consisting of religion,
political affiliation, and the latest education level are considered partial moderation because the
magnitude of the direct influence is greater than the indirect one, meaning that the independent
variable can directly influence the dependent variables without going through or involving
moderation variable
Features of the Legal Regulation Ensuring the Right of Minors to Private Life and the Protection of Personal Data
Get PDFThe quality protection of minor's right to privacy cannot be achieved without sufficient protection of
personal data. The General Data Protection Regulation provides specific protection rules for the processing of
minor's personal data, as they may be less aware of the risks, consequences and safeguards concerned and their
rights in relation to the processing of personal data. Minors merit specific protection, any information and
communication when it comes to their privacy and data protection.
This scientific article aim is to investigate the legal regulation for the protection of minors's personal data
and to show the connection of this legal regulation with the individual‘s fundamental right to privacy and identify
the problems of this legal regulation.
In order to achieve these goals, there will be discussed the main legal aspects of children's data protection,
such as consent, age requirements and other aspects. This scientific article analyzes not only the legal regulation
of the protection of children's personal data but also the connection with the right to privacy
Applying monocausal, bicausal and primary therapeutic intervention models in the Lithuanian children’s rights protection system
Get PDFCC BY-NC-ND 4.0In 1992, Lithuania joined the Convention on the Rights of the Child, thus committing to ensuring
children’s rights by all possible means. Parents take primary responsibility for the implementation of
children’s rights, but in cases where a parent uses their authority against the interests of their child,
the State has the power to intervene in a family. T. Furniss (1991) distinguished three basic models
of intervention: Primary Punitive Intervention (PPI) (the monocausal model); Primary Children
Protective Intervention (PCI) (the bicausal model); and Primary Therapeutic Intervention (PTI).
The goal of this article is to discuss reforms in the children’s rights protection system in Lithuania
by applying T. Furniss’ theoretical model. For a long time, the monocausal model dominated in
the country. In 2017, corporal punishment was prohibited by law, which provided an impetus for
the further reorganizational development of the children’s rights protection system. In 2018, new
interventions and methods of social assistance such as case management and mobile teams were
established, and these methods became responsible for the protection of children’s rights when a
family faces challenges. Thus, the principles of the bicausal model were introduced, and further
changes in 2020 added traits of the PTI model

Problems of recovery for the benefit of third persons from mortgaged or pledged property
No full textCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Enforcement proceedings shall be effective and all procedural
guarantees of the right to a fair trial shall be ensured. This article examines the
problems of recovery from property pledged by mortgage or pledged for the benefit of
third parties. The Law on Civil Procedure of the Republic of Lithuania allows recovery
from such property in enforcement proceedings only when the creditor does not contest
this possibility. However, this creditor right is not absolute, and the creditor shall not
abuse this this right. This article analyses how the protection of a claim secured by a
mortgage or pledge must be reconciled with the goal of an effective enforcement process when
there is a need to recover from property secured by a mortgage or pledge. The article assesses
the procedural problems that arise for the bailiff in order to perform recovery from such
property, the legal status of the mortgagee or pledge creditor, and the rights and obligations
in the process of execution. The relevant case law shows that one of the fundamental
problems in such collection procedures is the objection of the mortgage or pledge creditor
to the recovery of the property pledged to them. It also examines how such consent should
be expressed, what legal consequences arise when the creditor opposes such recovery, and in
which cases recovery from mortgaged or pledged property is possible without the creditor’s
consent
