Evoliucinė medicina: žmogaus raidos perspektyvos ir sveikata besikeičiančioje aplinkoje. Septintoji tarptautinė konferencija
This Abstract Book presents the scientific contributions of the 7th International Conference “Evolutionary Medicine: Perspectives on Human Development, and Health Consequences in a Changing Environment”, held at Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 7–10, 2026. The conference brings together researchers, PhD students, undergraduate students, clinicians, educators and other professionals interested in human development, growth, maturation, health and disease from an interdisciplinary perspective. This volume includes the abstracts of more than 100 scientific presentations, reflecting both the main thematic focus of the conference and the broad diversity of research fields represented by its participants. The 7th International Conference on Evolutionary Medicine consists of two parts. The first part is dedicated to the main topic of the conference and focuses on evolutionary medicine, auxology, growth and maturation, and the long-term health consequences of developmental processes in a changing environment. By addressing the relationships between growth, life history and health trajectories, this thematic part of the conference aims to deepen our understanding of human biological variation, adaptation and vulnerability in changing environmental, social and cultural contexts. The thematic focus of the first part of the conference has deep historical roots at Vilnius University. This conference commemorates the 220th anniversary of the first auxological works at the University. In 1805, the “Dziennik Wileński” published Andrzej (Jędrzej) Śniadecki’s work on child development and physical education. A. Śniadecki, Professor of Chemistry and later Head of the Department of Medicine at Vilnius University, was a distinguished scholar whose work connected medicine, biology, hygiene, dietetics, education and philosophy. In the context of evolutionary medicine and auxology, his work “On the Physical Education of Children” is particularly relevant, as it addressed the growth and maturation of children within a broad psychosocial and lifestyle-related context, including physical activity, nutrition, sleep, hygiene, and the balance between mental and physical work. The second part of the conference provides a broader interdisciplinary platform for doctoral students, young researchers and other scientists to present their research, including topics not necessarily directly related to evolutionary medicine or auxology. The aim of this part is to promote scientific communication, dissemination of research results, academic exchange and cooperation in various scientific fields. Representatives of medicine, health sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, technological sciences and humanities are invited to participate. The conference aims to strengthen interdisciplinarity and create opportunities for young researchers to develop presentation skills, broaden their scientific perspective, and establish dialogue with colleagues from various academic backgrounds. The organizers hope that this book of abstracts will be of interest not only to researchers in human biology, evolutionary medicine, auxology, pediatrics, and public health, but also to educators, students, and professionals in other scientific fields. The conference aims to promote evolutionary thinking, expand understanding of human biology, and foster fruitful collaboration across many different scientific fields.

Encourage of Sustainable Business – Approaches for Increasing of the Scale and Impact Over Natural Tourism in Shumen Municipality
Many companies have made their reorganisation and optimisation of the resources led by two main reasons – lowering production costs and decreasing production pollution. In this period of transition, there are still new opportunities for clear, responsible and sustainable business using natural resources. As the technological world advances, people increasingly need tranquillity and to live in sync with nature. Sustainable business practices are crucial for the long-term success of natural tourism. By prioritizing environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic viability, businesses can ensure that tourism benefits both visitors and the destinations they explore. The subject of the article is the development of a new thermal spring complex in Marash, Shumen province, Bulgaria, as an opportunity for establishing a recognisable place for health and sustainability.
Process Management Tools for Operation Efficiency in Logistics: Case Study
In the context of increasing complexity in global supply chains, effective process management has become a crucial determinant of operational efficiency in large-scale logistics companies. This study aims to assess the impact of an advanced process management system, introduced in 2022 within one of the largest logistics enterprises, with the objective of optimising internal communication and streamlining operations. Utilising a rigorous analytical framework, the research demonstrates significant improvements in information flow, transparency, and organisational clarity. The system has shown notable efficacy in key areas, including the implementation of quality and environmental policies, the optimisation of core operational processes, and the enhancement of management documentation. The findings suggest that process management contributes substantially to the achievement of higher operational efficiency and process optimisation. Furthermore, this study offers practical recommendations that may guide similar organisations in improving their logistical performance through systematic process management innovations.
Art and Culture Patronage in Lithuania: Impact on Culture, Business, and Society
Art patronage has traditionally been considered a philanthropic act that supports cultural and artistic expression. This paper explores how modern art patronage has evolved into diverse models such as venture philanthropy, crowdfunding, and impact investment, while reflecting broader changes in social values, business interests, and public policies. Using Lithuania as a case study, we analyse historical and emerging patronage practices and their effects on culture, business, and society. The article integrates theoretical and empirical insights and incorporates new perspectives from cultural policy and altruism studies. Particular attention is given to motivations behind giving, the evolving role of the patron, and how strategic patronage can create social value in a time of public funding decline. This research contributes to understanding patronage’s potential to balance economic rationality and cultural sustainability.
Impact of Digital Technologies on the Labour Market
Such innovations as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things exhibit an increasing impact on different sectors of the economy. These changes are creating new jobs while simultaneously changing the nature of work, demanding new skills, and reducing the demand for traditional jobs. The aim of the research is to identify the impact of digital technologies on the labour market. The results show that the implications of digital technologies for the labour market and employment of workers are analysed from different perspectives. The rapid development of digital technologies promotes innovation, leading to faster job creation in the labour market. On the other hand, technological processes lead to fewer jobs, which will increase unemployment. There are also those who believe that society will not notice major changes in the labour market because technological progress will create as many jobs as it will eliminate.
The Influence of Digital Advertising on Financial Service Purchase Intentions: The Role of Consumer Emotions and Trust Theoretical Model
The influence of digital advertising on financial service purchase intentions, mediated by consumer emotions and trust, is crucial in today’s digital landscape. Intense online competition requires financial service providers to understand digital advertising, emotions and trust impact on consumer intentions. The purpose of this study is to introduce this conceptual model, illustrating how digital advertising, viewed through message and source characteristics, impacts purchase intentions via consumer emotions and trust. Drawing on the RAIA model, the study conceptualises the consumer intention journey in the digital space, acknowledging the evolving information adoption landscape. The model differentiates between fear and greed as instantaneous emotional responses to advertising, rather than inherent consumer traits. Furthermore, it distinguishes mistrust as a separate construct from low trust, highlighting its significant impact on purchase intentions. The findings offer practical implications for marketers, researchers, and financial institutions seeking to develop effective digital advertising strategies grounded in the RAIA framework.
Team Viability Relationship with Quiet Quitting and Career Satisfaction in Knowledge Workers Teams
This study analyses the role of team viability in quiet quitting and career satisfaction. Understanding the core principles of viable teams and disengaged team members or being satisfied with their careers could enable organisations to be more adaptable to the workforce. An empirical study was conducted on a sample of 207 knowledge workers from various organisations. The results of the multiple regression analysis suggest that team viability has a significant negative relationship with quiet quitting, and a significant positive relationship with career satisfaction. The mediation analysis results showed that career satisfaction mediated the relationship between team viability and quiet quitting. The study provided insights about viable team members participating in lower quiet quitting behaviours, and if those team members feel satisfied with their careers, quiet quitting behaviours are even lower.
The Process of Empowering the Artist in the Art Market
The accessibility and purchase of artwork these days open up more opportunities for artists to exhibit, sell their work on a larger scale and gain recognition. However, simultaneously, there is high competition between all participants in the art market. Not knowing how to start, the creator faces challenges and obstacles to becoming a well-known art representative. In this case, artists can be helped by art galleries, which allow creators to show their creations and provide other support. In that instance, the gallery plays a role in empowering the artist to participate in the art market. Thus, this study aims to explore the process of empowering an artist to participate in the art market. It is important to understand how this process works and helps artists’ careers, so the presentation includes the results of research on artists and galleries, models, the empowerment process and emerging problems.

The Impact of Restrictions on the State-Owned Enterprises to Expand their Operations into New Product Lines in Latvia
There is a practice among OECD countries of establishing restrictions for state-owned enterprises to develop new products in addition to their main production. Scarce attention is paid to how such an approach affects public enterprises’ performance in favour of the public good; thus, it must be clarified. This research aims to propose competition policy improvements based on the evaluated impact of new product restrictions on competition neutrality. The research methodology includes interviews with Latvian public sector stakeholders concerning the advantages of optimal use of the company’s resources and risks’ diversification. Private sector disadvantages if state-owned enterprises offer their products in private-dominated markets are considered. It was observed that national policy is contradictory: there is an emphasis on efficiency goals, but the expansion initiatives by state-owned enterprises in the market are accepted reluctantly. Taking advantage of state-owned enterprises to boost R&D innovations is important to fostering Latvian regional development policies.
Employer Image and Employer Brand: Interaction of Both Terms
Currently, when the demand for employees is higher than supply, there is a question of possible solutions. One of the opportunities for companies is to ensure that they will be chosen when their potential employees consider making career changes. This is where the terms “employer image” and “employer brand” come into the picture – terms often used interchangeably in the scientific and professional fields. The aim of the article is to eliminate the confusion in the use of employer brand and employer image as terms and to show their theoretical position among other interconnected terms. It is presented through definitions and a model proposed by the author. In addition, the author points to the consideration of ethics when applying the employer brand.
