Socialinis ugdymas ir saviugda yra neįmanomi be atitinkamo kultūrinio proceso. Šiuo metu Lietuvos kultūros politika yra reguliuojama dviem teisės aktais: „Lietuvos valstybės strategija 2050“ ir „Lietuvos kultūros politikos pagrindų“ įstatymu, o formuojama ir visuomenės iniciatyvomis. Deja, šie abu svarbūs dokumentai nestokoja spragų, o strategija pasižymi kultūros sampratos vartosenos daugiaprasmiškumu ir chaotiškumu. Lietuvoje tebėra gajus siauras, tačiau atgyvenęs kultūros prilyginimas menams ir paveldui. Tai atspindi tradiciją, kilusią iš aristokratijos poreikių. Jos vietą turėtų užimti pažangios kultūros, nukreiptos į bendros gerovės, teisingumo, saugumo, laisvių ir tam reikalingos tvarkos didinimą visuomenėje samprata.

Straipsnyje aptariamas estetizavimas kaip istorinio įprasminimo ir nutrauminimo strategija. Remiantis vokiečių istoriko ir istoriografijos teoretiko Jörno Rüseno teorinėmis įžvalgomis, istorinė sąmonė priklauso nuo praeities, kuri istorinio atsiminimo galia perdirbama į prasmingą ir reikšmingą istoriją. Trauminės praeities patirtys (karas, holokaustas, tremtis) yra beprasmės ir bereikšmės, atveriančios istorinio identiteto žaizdas. Labai svarbu papasakoti (užrašyti) trauminės patirties istoriją ir ją įprasminti integruojant į pasaulio ir savęs supratimo kategorijas. Rüseno teigimu, tą akimirką, kai įvykis gauna „istorinę“ prasmę ir reikšmę, išnyksta jo trauminis pobūdis. Estetizavimas šiuo atveju yra viena iš istorinio įprasminimo strategijų, padedanti įveikti trikdančius trauminių patirčių padarinius. Straipsnyje bandoma atsakyti į klausimus, kodėl karo patirčių įprasminimui Marcelijaus Martinaičio ir Juditos Vaičiūnaitės memuaristikoje pasirinkta estetizavimo strategija ir kaip ši strategija atskleidžiama tekste.

Straipsnyje nagrinėjami lengvosios atletikos moterų daugiakovės – septynkovės – struktūros koreliacijos tarp taškų sumos ir atskirų komplekso rungčių rezultatų bei sportininkių antropometrinių duomenų koeficentai. Taip pat aptariama stipriausių pasaulio ir Lietuvos daugiakovininkių rezultatų kaita nuo pat specializacijos septynkovėje pradžios iki geriausio rezultato pasiekimo. Darbe naudoti duomenys paimti iš IAAF statistikos žinynų, varžybų protokolų. Gauti rezultatai apdoroti matematinės statistikos metodais. Atlikti tyrimai ir skaičiavimai leidžia daryti šias išvadas:

1. Geriausių rezultatų pasiekė tos Lietuvos ir pasaulio septynkovininkės, kurios jau jauname amžiuje turėjo gerus 100 m barjerinio ir 200 m bėgimo bei šuolio į tolį rezultatus, vėliau šiose rungtyse tobulėjo.
2. Septynkovininkės nuo sportininkių, besispecializuojančių atskirose rungtyse, mažiausiai atsilieka bėgimo ir šuolių, o labiausiai – metimų rungtyse.
3. Didžiausius koreliacinius ryšius su taškų suma turi šuolis į tolį (0,646), 200 m bėgimas (-0,594) ir 100 m barjerinis bėgimas (-0,469). Pagal dviejų rungčių daugialypius koreliacijos koeficientus septynkovę labiau charakterizuoja šuolis į tolį ir 100 m barjerinis bėgimas (0,744) bei 100 m barjerinis ir 200 m bėgimas (0,743).
4. Geriausius septynkovės rezultatus pasiekia sportininkės, kurios turi geriausių galimybių tobulėti rungtyse, reikalingose greitumo savybių.

The research revealed that coaches make contribution to their competences by participation in conferences or by making internships. But it emerged that coaches need more methodical and practical guidance because of the absence of the system for coaches' qualification development for them to be professional in training high performance athletes. The problems of little opportunities for internships, the absence of sharing experience, the lack of seminars where trainers could get useful information exist too. The perception of reality, competitive action in trainings and in its science is very necessary for the coaches of Lithuanian Olympic team. Lithuanian Olympic team coaches must see new areas of training practice, have settled position, clear vision, scientific thinking. They definitely need computer-based training program and database. The most important thing in the new Olympic cycle is the annual development of computer-based training program, ant its positioning is the credo and wisdom of the coach, the position of his experience and creativity.

The development of harmonic hearing is an essential component of the system of music teachers’ training. The paper is concerned with the type of a case study which deals with the study of professional groups (a bigger and more diffusive group of 14 students). The process of training music teachers at sol-fa classes in a higher education establishment is analyzed and described. The sol-fa classes are oriented towards the development of harmonic hearing. The purpose of the study is to develop a technology of conducting sol-fa classes oriented towards developing students’ – the prospective music teachers’ – harmonic hearing on the basis of a case-study methodology; to present the developed material and ways of its application in the training process; to analyze and summarize the results of the research done. The research results show that the criteria relating to practical music making of students, such as polyphonic singing and intoning intervals and chords, and also those relating to creativeness, such as improvisation and composing the accompaniment for the melody, have been the most effective ones.
