SummaryBackground. The following study examines the physical education system in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) and its students' health condition. The purpose of the research was to analyse and determine the students' health condition in the years 2008−2013 and their attitudes to elective physical education courses. Material and methods. The study involved students of the first-degree studies of the VGTU (1st-4th year). The research was conducted in the academic years 2005-2013 and comprised students who chose optional physical education courses and all the first year undergraduates.Results. The studies showed that about 60% of the VGTU students were healthy with boys demonstrating better health indicators than girls. The most common disorders encountered in the students concerned the visual, cardiovascular and motor systems, which significantly affected their physical activity. Conclusions. Disorders of the motor system might impact the choice of optional physical education courses the most. An assumption was made that such choice could foster student aspirations in reducing this condition. However, the proposed solution required more thorough research as a well-organised and appropriate physical education programme which might motivate more interest in PA and ultimately help solve problems related to the Lithuanian students' health. Keywords: students, choices, health, health disorders StreszczenieWprowadzenie. Obiektem badania był system wychowania fizycznego na Wileńskim Uniwersytecie Technicznym im. Giedymina w Wilnie (WUTG) oraz stan zdrowia studentów. Celem badań była analiza i uogólnienie stanu zdrowia studentów w latach 2008-2013 oraz ich stosunek do sylabusów fakultatywnych wychowania fizycznego. Materiał i metody. Badane osoby: studenci studiów dziennych I stopnia WUTG (I-IV rok). Badania przeprowadzono w latach akademickich 2005-2013. Badania objęły studentów, którzy wybrali fakultatywne sylabusy na kierunku wychowania fizycznego i wszystkich studentów pierwszego roku dziennych studiów pierwszego stopnia. Wyniki. Badania wykazały, że na WTUG studiuje około 60% zdrowych studentów, i że chłopcy w porównaniu do dziewcząt wyróżniają się lepszymi wskaźnikami zdrowia. Wśród studentów dominują zaburzenia systemu wzroku, układu sercowo-krążeniowego, ruchowoopornego, które istotnie wpływają na czynności fizyczne. Wnioski. Zaburzenia systemu ruchowo-opornego mogą mieć największy wpływ na decyzję wyboru modułów sylabusów wychowania fizycznego. Wybór ten może sprzyjać aspiracjom studentów w redukowaniu tego zaburzenia. To założenie wymaga dokładniejszych badań. Dobrze zorganizowany i kierunkowo przygotowany program wychowania fizycznego, motywujący do aktywności fizycznej studentów może sprzyjać rozwiązaniu problemów związanych ze zdrowiem studentów na Litwie.

The research analyzes the progress of Member States in the implementation of Europe 2020 strategy targets and goals in 2016–2018. Multiple criteria decision-making approaches applied for this task. The set of headline indicators was divided into two logically explained groups. Interval entropy is proposed as an effective tool to make prioritization of headline indicators in separate groups. The sensitivity of the interval entropy is its advantage over classical entropy. Indicator weights were calculated by applying the WEBIRA (weight-balancing indicator ranks accordance) method. The WEBIRA method allows the best harmonization of ranking results according to different criteria groups—this is its advantage over other multiple-criteria methods. Final assessing and ranking of the 28 European Union countries (EU-28) was implemented through the -cut approach. A -means clustering procedure was applied to the EU-28 countries by summarizing the ranking results in 2016–2018. Investigation revealed the countries–leaders and countries–outsiders of the Europe 2020 strategy implementation process. It turned out that Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Austria during the three-year period were the countries that exhibited the greatest progress according to two headline indicator groups’ interrelation. Cluster analysis results are mainly consistent with the EU-28 countries’ categorizations set by other authors.

“…On the other hand, according to S. Kanišauskas [16], while addressing the value-related problems, it is necessary to look not only into the width but also to transcend into the ontological depth, which allows trespassing the intentions of only material character, also realising own fundamental and inherent humanity and avoiding devaluation of values that we are currently facing. So values should not be ignored in the education process, it is necessary to emphasize "that higher education also covers general education, including education of students' values" [17].…”

The authors of the article make attempts to present a trend of inclusive education, which has been visible in the national special education, as a value. The main normative documents that have presupposed the genesis and expression of the model of inclusive education in the context of a value-based aspect are introduced. The results of longitudinal studies, which prove that attempts to create a school that ensures equal access to education for everybody (school students with special educational needs as well as their healthy peers) have been only partially successful in Lithuania so far. A number of disabled children, adolescents and young people have still been learning in the settings that are isolated from their peers. Therefore, challenges in inclusive education are likely to arise.
