“…Our literature search yielded 92 published papers, three of which reported insulin glulisine-exposed pregnancies. 23 – 25 In addition, we identified and reviewed a total of 39 clinical trials conducted by the manufacturer in adult diabetes patients in which insulin glulisine was administered. From these trials, there were 23 unique reports of insulin glulisine-exposed pregnancies (cumulative total number of patients from clinical trials was 12,182, of whom 5,877 [48 %] were women).…”

Pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes or pre-existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with a higher rate of adverse outcomes compared with pregnancies in the background population. These outcomes include miscarriage, pre-term delivery, pre-eclampsia, perinatal mortality and congenital malformations. Insulin glulisine (Apidra®, Sanofi) is a rapid-acting insulin analogue indicated for the treatment of adults, adolescents and children 6 years or older with diabetes mellitus where treatment with insulin is required. Here, all post-marketing and clinical trials safety data with insulin glulisine in pregnancy available to Sanofi up to June 2014 are summarised together with the findings of a comprehensive literature search. Cumulatively, a total of 303 pregnancy exposures to insulin glulisine were received. Of these 303 pregnancy exposures, there were 116 live births, 12 spontaneous abortions, two late foetal intra-uterine deaths (>28 weeks), three elective abortions and 170 cases without a known pregnancy outcome. There were six cases of congenital malformations; of these, there were five live births; in the other case a live birth was not confirmed. The congenital malformations reported to date do not reveal a pattern of defects. In conclusion, the evidence to date does not suggest a causal association between insulin glulisine and an increased risk of pregnancy complications or congenital malformations.

“…Analizė atskleidė Vilniaus, Kauno ir Klaipėdos gyventojų kalbų deklaruojamą mokėjimą ir vartojimą įvairiose situacijose ir su įvairiais pašnekovais (tiek viešojoje, tiek privačiojoje erdvėje, darbe, paslaugų, švietimo srityje, bendraujant su draugais ir kaimynais, šeimoje su vyresnės ir jaunosios kartos šeimos nariais ir giminaičiais), kalbines nuostatas įvairių kalbinių atmainų atžvilgiu, kalbų ir tautinės tapatybės sąsajas. Suaugusių miestiečių kalbinio gyvenimo vaizdą papildė pradinių klasių moksleivių namų kalbų tyrimas, atliktas pagal Tilburgo universiteto mokslininkų metodiką (Extra, Yagmur 2004), atskleidęs, kokios kalbos vartojamos namų domene (Ramonienė, Extra 2011a).…”

The aim of the article is to review the development of applied linguistics in Lithuania, analyse the general tendencies of the development of this science, and present the more prominent groups of researchers in applied linguistics, the schools that have been formed or are being formed, and the contribution of some researchers to the research of different branches of applied linguistics. The article focuses on the work started after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Lithuania in 1990, because only from that time onwards did the work of Lithuanian applied linguistics enter the international mainstream of this science. It discusses some of the research and practical work related to the research that helps or has helped in certain periods to solve problems related to language in life. First of all, the article introduces the works on teaching Lithuanian as a foreign language, which are connected with the beginning of applied linguistics in Lithuania, and which have laid the appropriate methodological foundations for the formation of communicative competence, for the development of a new type of textbooks, pedagogical grammars of the Lithuanian language, and for the creation of a system of assessment of competences. After discussing the origins of applied linguistics in Lithuania, the paper discusses the further development of this science. Research in the field of language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language attrition, cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, politeness and impoliteness, corpus and forensic linguistics, and other branches of applied linguistics is presented, and the real-life linguistic issues, analysed by Lithuanian researchers, are highlighted. The final section of the article describes the most important works of dissemination of applied linguistics and presents the research journal Taikomoji kalbotyra (“Applied Linguistics”), the international conferences on applied linguistics that have taken place in Lithuania, and the networks of researchers.

“…The sociolinguistic situation after the restoration of independence of Lithuania has already attracted the attention of researchers. Several studies have discussed the general linguistic situation, language use and social adaptation (Hogan-Brun/ Ramonienė 2003Ramonienė , 2004Ramonienė , 2005aRamonienė , 2005bHogan-Brun et al 2009;Kasatkina/ Leončikas 2003), education (Leončikas 2007;Bulajeva/Hogan-Brun 2008), language usage at work (Ramonienė 2011), at home (Ramonienė/Extra 2011a, 2011b, language use and identity Geben/Ramonienė 2011;Brazauskienė 2010;Lichačiova 2010;Ehala/Zabrodskaja 2011Vilkienė 2010), changes in the social values of languages (Ramonienė/Vilkienė 2016).…”

“…The first survey (hereafter S1) covered primary schools in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda. For its purposes, a special methodology from the Multilingual Cities Project (Extra/Yağmur 2004Ramonienė/Extra 2011a;2011b) was adapted to collect evidence on languages used in the private (home) domain. Application of the same methodology enables a reliable comparison of data across different West European urban areas as similar studies have also been carried out in Göteburg, Hamburg, The Hague, Brussels, Lyon, Madrid (Extra/ Yağmur 2004) and other cities.…”

The Social Status of Languages in Finland and Lithuania

This is the eleventh volume in my book series on Language Competence and Language Awareness in Europe. I am happy that this volume highlights the ideologically and sociologically loaded topic area of language policy. The Baltic Scholar Kessler and the Finno-Ugrian Philologist Pantermöller study language contacts and conflicts within and across the borders of sparsely populated national cultures in Scandinavia (Sweden and Finland), and the Baltics (Lithuania, Estonia). These European Union member states who, according to Eurostat (May 2019), are the member states at the bottom line in population density of all 27 states, went through complex political and social histories during the last hundred years. As a consequence the population is faced with diverse language options within and across their national boundaries: Languages serve different functions, and have a variant status depending on who chooses which communicative code with whom, and in which communicative context. This fringe part of Europe is also of particular interest to systemic contact linguists since languages of different typologies clash into each other in this part of Europe (Indo-European/Germanic and Finno-Ugric/Finnic languages). On top of that we can encounter clashes between less and more demographically powerful national cum regional languages (Swedish versus Finnish; Latvian/ Estonian/Lithuanian versus Russian), and modern, or even global versus ancestral languages that characterize the language hub (e.g. English and e.g. Sami).The volume stem from a project that empirically, and critically researched language policy in the poly-lingual language cultures of Finland and Lithuania. At the core of the quantitative and qualitative study lies the (semantically) fuzzy concept of language attitudes. Language attitudes, and language opinions, or sentimentalism in the European North/North-East are grounded in political changes and migration before, and after World War II, as well as in the social and economic changes following the break-down of the soviet regime almost thirty years agoThe publication as a collected volume developed from the editors' final project report to the German Research Foundation in 2016/17. The report was supplemented by invited papers from specialists in Baltic, and Finnic language cultures that focus on language choice in varying domains and genres. It is the first empirical study of language attitudes and language policy in Finland and Lithuania in book form.
