Development of agriculture is a substantial element of a balanced development of a country, comprising the development of agricultural, forestry and fishery sectors as well as the aggregate of other economic, social, and ecological activities related to the rural environment. The two main types of state aid provided to agriculture and rural development include direct and indirect support. The state aid shall be fully consistent with the basic guidelines of the European Community regarding the support for agriculture. The aim of the research is to discuss the legal regulation in the sphere of state aid allocation and to analyse the dynamics and impact of allocated national subsidies for the development of agriculture and rural development. Currently, the requirements for allocation state aid in the form of subsidies undergo fundamental amendments within the framework of simplification of regulatory enactments of the EU CAP. The amendments relate to both the content and procedures of the requirements. The goal is to speed up the conformation and approval of state aid payments and to simplify the requirements for allocation of subsidies. It is envisaged that the amendments would not affect the targets of subsidies but they would provide more earmarked state support.

Pateikiama įžvalgų apie civilizacijų įtaką šalies identitetui ir regionų skirstymo problemas, atskleisti šalies identiteto formavimosi aspektai, analizuojant praeities ir dabarties politinius įvykius. Mokslinės literatūros analizė ir sintezė atskleidė, kad Lietuvai reikėtų imti pavyzdį iš Vidurio Europos šalių. Dėl bendros istorinės patirties, kultūros, tikslų ir mentaliteto derėtų labiau save sieti su Centrinės Europos valstybėmis – Čekija, Slovakija, Vengrija ir Lenkija.

Neuroekonomika, neurorinkodara, neuroetika – neuromokslų šakos, kurios yra ne tik aktualios, bet ir suteikia galimybę kitu aspektu pažvelgti į tiriamą reiškinį. Šiame straipsnyje pagrindinis dėmesys skiriamas nuostolių baimės efektui. Straipsnyje atliekama minėto reiškinio kompleksinė analizė, atsižvelgiant į neuroekonomikos, neurorinkodaros ir neuroetikos principinius aspektus. Atlikus kompleksinę analizę, išsiaiškinta, kad nuostolių baimės efektas gali būti analizuojamas trijų tarpdisciplininių mokslų kontekste, siekiant paaiškinti iracionalius individo sprendimus (neuroekonomikos tyrimų laukas); pritaikant neurorinkodaros mokslo principus gali būti pasitelkta manipuliacija ir poveikio vartotojams strategijos, nukreiptos į atitinkamą individo elgseną. Kita vertus, pasitelkus neuroetikos mokslą, gali būti nagrinėjamos individo ir visuomenės etinės, teisinės, socialinės problemos. Svarbu tai, kad nuostolių baimės efekto perspektyvas galima sieti su neuroekonomikos, neurorinkodaros ir neuroetikos sinergija bei tarpusavio darna.

The article examines the stereotypes of the Ukrainian, Russian and Lithuanian linguo-cultures of cooperative communicative behaviour in the context of cognitive and communicative categories of cooperativity. The process and mechanisms of stereotyping the national communicative behaviour have been characterized, the individual and collective stereotypical impressions about the concept of “cooperativity”, as well as the cooperative linguistic individual in Ukrainian, Russian and Lithuanian communicative cultures have been identified on the results of empirical research (due to the socio- and psycholinguistic experiments). The universal and national specific parameters of auto- and hetero-stereotypes of Ukrainian, Russians and Lithuanians on their level of cooperativity in communication have been established.
