Get PDFTactics of examination of a person is the part of criminalistic tactics; scientific
and practical opinions about regularities of performing examination
during investigation are generalized in this part. Historically the content of any
investigative activity during criminal procedure in Latvia is regulated by legal
norms of the Criminal Procedure Law. General requirements for performing
examination are also included in legal norms. These normative regulations are

offences in Latvia foresees with necessity critical attitude to gained experience
about normative regulation and practical performing of investigative
examination. Therefore evaluation of normative grounding and practical value
of peculiarities of examination could become objective push for future acientific
and practical rationalization of this investigative activity in Latvia criminal
procedure
Impact of agent’s ficudiary duties for the sustainable agency relationships
Get PDFCC BY 4.0In order to ensure the sustainability in agency relationships, the agent must act in accordance with the fiduciary duties, the breach of which presupposes the negative legal consequences on the side of the agent. The purpose of
this article is to reveal the content of agent’s fiduciary duties and the legal consequences of their breach in Lithuania
maefrom a comparative perspective. It is concluded that neither the legal regulation nor the case law in Lithuania discloses the content of the agent’s fiduciary duties and the legal consequences of their breach. Therefore, more detailed
legal provisions would help to ensure a balance of the rights of the subjects involved in agency relationships
The Development of Independent Living Skills in Children at Community Children’s Care Home: the Analysis of Children’s Experiences
No full textCC BY-SA 4.0The article reveals the results of a quantitative research regarding the development of independent living skills in children at the community children’s care home based on the experience of children. The following two aspects of the development of independent living skills are analysed: 1) opportunities to develop independent living skills at the community children’s care home; 2) how and what independent living skills children develop at the community children’s care home. 9 children from a community care home, whose age ranged from 17 to 18, participated in the research. The article discusses independent living skills development opportunities in children, which are related to the changed physical, social, and emotional environment at the community children’s care home and the changed organizing of daily activities at it.At the community children’s care home, children develop domestic work, communication and cooperation, financial literacy, learning and career planning, health-friendly skills which are important for independent living. Children develop the aforementioned skills by communicating and cooperating with each other and other people, participating in role-playing games, modelling and discussing various life situations during individual and group conversations, becoming involved in decision-making, daily and leisure activities planning, organizing, and their performance

authority, public prosecutor, court) should have, respectively have knowledge
of criminalistics and to what scope. For this reason, contribution is looking for
answer to the question of whether so criminalistics should be in the
course of teaching in faculties of law in the Czech Republic within the

Neovėberizmo svarba COVID-19 pasaulinės pandemijos valdymo kontekste
No full textCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Neo-Weberianism is a modern direction of public administration reform, the expression of which, to varying degrees, is increasingly being observed in various states. This direction
is particularly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. An analysis of the administration
of the COVID-19 pandemic shows that coherence between vertically integrated management, a professional civil service, and the influence of civil society and communities on public decision-making is
at the heart of neo-Weberianism, and becomes particularly important in the event of an emergency
of this nature. Many countries choose similar or identical anti-crisis measures to combat the threat of
a pandemic. However, differences in applying the principles of neo-Weberian governance can also be
observed between countries. The authors of this article selected three Central European countries (EU
member states) – Poland (large), Hungary (medium), and Lithuania (small) – for a more detailed
analysis of pandemic management. In Poland, in order to manage the pandemic and its financial
consequences in perspective, redundancies or pay cuts to some civil servants and other public sector employees in public sector organizations were modeled. Hungary had the strictest anti-pandemic
quarantine of the three countries selected for analysis, and at first glance it seems that the country
opted for a strict traditional hierarchical governance model for the COVID-19 crisis, but on closer inspection we see that the Hungarian government used population surveys and tried to take into
account citizens’ views on the deadlines for overcoming the pandemic. In Lithuania, by coordinating
strict pandemic quarantine, the aim was to ensure the provision of high-quality information to the
population
COVID 19 įtaka Lietuvos įmonių ekonominiam saugumui
Get PDFThe COVID 19 pandemic has brought a lot of changes to each country's economy. The everincreasing
number of cases, the lack of equipment and supplies, and the disruption of production and
services have led to strong measures to stop the spread of the virus. The pandemic affected not only
the health system but also the stability, social and economic life of the regions. It has also had
political and security consequences, disrupting education, mobility, tourism, and leisure. New patterns
of consumer behavior and consumption have emerged. Unprecedentedly low or staggeringly high
demand, depending on the category, distorted supply chains, changed jobs, social isolation, all these
changes, including bans and restrictions, have been the driving forces for companies to rethink their
organizations ’strategies. The main purpose of this article is to analyze how the COVID 19 pandemic
affected the economic security of Lithuanian companies, which are the main driving force of the
economy. What impact did the pandemic have on the Lithuanian economy and the business dynamics of organizations? The importance and role of economic security in the activities of each state. The
article also discusses key measures to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Using research methods,
scientific literature and statistical data, a comparative analysis was performed to assess the impact of
the COVID 19 pandemic on Lithuanian organizations. Based on the results of the study, it can be
stated that in the context of the European Union, Lithuania would be the country least affected by the
pandemic. Although in 2021. There was a lot of uncertainty at the beginning of the year about the
future course of the pandemic and its management, but the economy grew faster than expected. The
volume of industrial production increased, retail and international trade grew. Despite the pandemic,
growth was maintained in the manufacturing, wholesale, and retail sectors. The impact of the
pandemic was felt most in the services sector - accommodation and food service activities, arts,
entertainment and recreation, service and administrative activities. The pandemic also had a
significant impact on the stability of existing businesses. The announcement of quarantine, suspension
or restriction of the activities of organizations affected the income, profit and business continuity of
companies. In Lithuania in 2021, although the country was affected by a pandemic, there were 816
more economic entities (excluding natural persons engaged in economic activities) than in 2020. By
economic sector, most entities were active in the service sector, industry, construction, and
agriculture. Most of the operating entities were small enterprises with 0-4 or 5-9 employees. From
2020 By 2021, the number of enterprises operating during the year increased by 0.8%, while in 2019.
- 2020 During the period, this figure was 2.18 percent. The growth of the smallest enterprises with 0-4
employees had the largest positive impact on the growth of the last year, while the number of
enterprises with 5-9 employees had a negative impact. In the face of the COVID - 19 pandemic, the
establishment of legal entities continued to grow. During 2020 The number of small and medium-sized
enterprises (non-financial enterprises without natural persons engaged in individual activities)
increased by 6%. During the same period, the number of deregistration’s was significantly lower - 27
percent. companies. To ensure the economic security of companies, great attention should be paid to
improving the efficiency of the company's activities, which leads to the creation of new jobs, better
employment, better living standards, economic growth, better protection of society from social and
economic threats
Strengthening the Transatlantic Partnership: Challenges and Opportunities for the Baltic States
Get PDFNATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg referred to
2021 as a year of opportunity to re-energise transatlantic relations and
strengthen the bond between Europe and North America. This statement
brought many commitments to be followed and steps to undertake. This
article aims to discover what significance this would have for the Baltic
States and how Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia can strengthen the transatlantic
partnership. This paper also examines the current obstacles towards
achieving cooperation and possible ways to cope with barriers. The main
hardship is the Russian influence and threat of warfare still present in the
Baltic region. Another hardship is geopolitical, where trade wars between
China and North America and the recent start of Lithuanian-Taiwanese
cooperation have made China more oppressive towards transatlantic cooperation.
The author emphasises that strengthened cooperation should
be maintained, and thus attempts to discover possible ways of Baltic
States’ contribution towards the NATO-US relationship. Among these
methods is cooperation between the Baltic States, such as institutional
collaboration, common maritime and air defence patrolling operations,
and cross-border civilian cooperation. The socio-economic and environmental
fields must be respected in the sense of achieving more independence
from Russian influence. It is also perceived that cyber security
would be maintained via US-Baltic States cooperation. In conclusion, US
commitment to Baltic security is part of the US commitment to European
security, and the former would not and cannot exist without the latter.
Thus, strengthening transatlantic ties involves building this partnership,
reinforcing power, and preventing threats. This attitude appears to be
beneficial for both sides
A Theoretical Analysis of Managerial Growth in the Context of Organizational Change
Get PDFCC BYIn analyzing the theoretical literature on managerial growth in the context of organizational
change, an absence of research has been observed, especially that which comprehensively analyzes
growth prospects and opportunities at the micro (individual), meso (group), and macro (organizational) levels, which considers organizational, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Therefore, one
of the outstanding problems of this research was to select the relevant scientific literature to synthesize
the theory and create a conceptual theoretical model based on it. The aim of this paper is to explore the
context and preconditions for managerial growth during an organizational change at different levels
and aspects of organizations. Therefore, six theoretical approaches from the fields of management,
psychology, and education were chosen (Hiatt, Kotter, Kübler-Ross, Goleman, Mezirow, and Marcia).
Conclusions provide insights into the context, aims, and directions of managerial growth within
organizational change. First, the context of organizational change is understood as an educational
environment that creates incentives for managerial growth at the macro, meso, and micro levels
and encompasses the development of personal and professional skills and the conscious evolution
of inner perceptions related to work. Second, managerial growth in the context of organizational
change is targeted toward three objectives at the organizational, group, and individual levels: productivity, connection, and self-realization. Third, managerial growth in the context of organizational
change is directed toward three dimensions: (1) the strategic-operational dimension overlaps with
the development of leadership skills to ensure successful change implementation in the organization;
(2) the social-emotional dimension overlaps with the development of psychosocial skills, enabling
coping with challenges through relationships and an emotionally supportive workplace environment;
and (3) the perceptual-spiritual dimension overlaps with the development of personal maturity and
professional motivation, disclosing authentic performance during organizational change. These
findings become a framework for further research but also provide practical guidelines for managers,
HR specialists, and organizational leaders
Determination of the Amount of Healthcare Public Funding: The Latvian Case
Get PDFCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Decisions on public funding allocation are significant challenges for any
healthcare system. The Latvian health financing policy faces challenges that threaten its long-
term sustainability and the values of solidarity. According to the World Health Organization,
health, as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, is one of the fundamental
rights every human, and is dependent upon the fullest cooperation of individuals and states.
This also includes the task to “substantially increase health financing.” Such concepts require
the regular measurement of progress in order to explicate the achieved level in statics and
dynamics and to make strategic decisions for the coming period, including those on public
healthcare expenditure. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the necessary allocations of
general government budget expenditures, ensure justification for the strategic decisions for
the next planning period on healthcare expenditure, evaluate the achieved level in statics and
dynamics, and provide policy recommendations for future health financing system reforms. Research methodology – To achieve the goal of the research, comparative analysis and
methods of theoretical research were used. Intelligent data mining methods were employed
for the discovery of and the creation of knowledge on existing regularities in health system
expenditure based on mutually comparable factual cases – the declared statistical indicators of the EU27 countries.
Findings – Using data mining analytical tools, the minimum of the general government
health expenditure in EU countries was computed in this study: around €1,500 per capita
in 2018. The optimal segmentation of general government health expenditure according to
the COFOG classification was also computed.
Research limitations – The minimum expenditure calculated is especially relevant for
low-expenditure Central and Eastern European countries, while the total public health
expenditure segmentation is applicable for any EU country. The benchmarking algorithms
are well-suited for comparing aspects of the health sector, identifying leaders with the best
performance and best practices, and analyzing how higher performance levels are achieved.
However, it should be borne in mind that some dispersion could be caused by heterogeneous environmental conditions.
Practical implications – Governments can consider making sustainable policy decisions and performing the programming process of allocating public resources. This would
also help to balance cross-sectoral links between public healthcare and the economy during
post-COVID-19 recovery.
Originality/Value – The use of the data mining analytical tools in this study answered
a question that is very important for society: What is the minimum amount an EU country
should spend on health? The processing of financial data shows that the widespread assumption of the necessary general government health expenditure of 5% of the GDP is not
substantiated
The Challenge to Globalization in a Post-Pandemic World
Get PDFThe 2020 pandemic has revealed at least two truths: It has changed everything, and it has
merely accelerated trends that were already taking place in our world, societies, and economies. Among
the many impacts or changes that the pandemic has wrought, one of the most profound has been in terms
of the challenges to globalization and the integration of the economies of the world. For many months
we have seen business close, borders close, and the economic fortunes and GDPs of states fall, rise, and
only fall again. In the spring 2021 with the arrival of the vaccines we thought the worst was over, but
with the latest delta wave variant of Covid-19, it is often hard to see the world beyond the pandemic. As
with the 1918 pandemic, it does eventually run its course and there will be a world after it. But what
will it look like
