Assessment of the social sciences university students (female) physical capacity assessment depending on the chosen form of physical activity. Revealed that physical activity within the subject "Physical training" allows students (female) to achieve a number of indicators average or above average for the citizens of the republic level of physical fitness. In experiment took part 258 students

Heterodyne and spectroscopic room temperature terahertz imaging using InGaAs bow-tie diodes

Heterodyne and spectroscopic terahertz imaging using InGaAs bow-tie diodes are presented and discussed. The improvement of the dynamic range and noise equivalent power by heterodyning is demonstrated. It is shown that InGaAs-based bow-tie diodes are well suited for spectroscopic room temperature imaging within the range of 0.58-2.52 THz. The devices implementation in real-time imaging system is considered as well

The Role Of Fiscal Policy In Ensuring Financial Stability In Lithuania

Paper describes the role of fiscal policy ensuring financial stability. The main purpose of the paper is to calculate the aggregate financial stability index, which can be used to measure the systematic financial stability. Literature reviews the main concepts of financial stability, such as combination of fiscal and monetary policy. It presupposes the importance of adapting the fiscal policy. The paper reveals the substantial effects that fiscal policy instruments do to financial stability of the country, moreover it shows that well considered public finance decisions helps to implement the stabilization targets of the financial system. There is calculated aggregate general financial stability index and performed its dependence correlation – regression analysis on the indicators of fiscal policy of Lithuania

An update of the European breeding population sizes and trends of the Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana)

Following recent updates proposed by BirdLife International and further updates across Europe gathered in the context of a continent-wide study of the migration strategy of the species, we propose here an update of national population sizes and associated recent trends of the Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana). Previous estimates for the period 1999-2002 reported 5'200'000 to 16'000'000 breeding pairs, for an area extending east to European Russia, and south to the Caucasus and Turkey. The countries holding the largest populations were Turkey (3-10 million pairs) and Russia (1.5-5.0 million pairs). The updated results give approximately 3'319'000 to 7'057'000 pairs in Europe (for the period 2012-2014), representing a c. 50% decrease in numbers over the last decade. This decrease is partly due to overestimates proposed in previous reports for the key country, Turkey, which is now considered to support only 5000'000 to 1'000'000 pairs. Russia still holds 2.0-4.3 million pairs, although with an estimated decline of c. 15-30% since 2000. Overall, within the 39 European countries assessed here, recent decadal trends (on average 2000-2012) in population size are reported as unknown in 15 countries, increasing in 2 countries (Germany and Serbia), stable or fluctuating in 6 countries, and decreasing in 16 countries including recent extinctions in Belgium, Hungary, Slovakia and the Netherlands. Overall, declining populations are mostly located in northern Europe, and fourteen of the 15 northern European countries with a known national trend have declining breeding populations, suggesting that northern breeders are of particular conservation concern
