This article discusses economic and sexual violence against women, which are the two forms of intimate partner violence the least recognised by both Lithuanian society and the survivors of such abuse themselves. The authors of this article analyse the roots of this lack of recognition,
and how it is affected and influenced by the patriarchal context and gendered conditioning of Lithuanian society. The article also explores how this conditioning contributes to the reasons why women in contemporary Lithuania still tend not to seek help, regardless of the endemic prevalence
of intimate partner violence perpetrated against them. The article is based on a recent study completed in Lithuania. It suggests that a better recognition of economic and sexual coercive control as well as abandonment of ‘victim blaming’ attitudes could be followed by a broader
education on gender equality and recognition of gendered stereotypes, in order to more effectively prevent and also respond to this significant social problem.
A model for monocular line perception by human Ss is based on three basic assumptions: (a) the line's inclination is coded by the maximally excited orientation detector's number; (b) the inclination of the perceived line is equivocally determined by the excitation vector in the subjective space; (c) the analyzer has a maximum differential sensitivity over the whole range of the line inclinations. This simple model for the line inclination analyzer, taking into account the optimization of its sensitivity, provides incomplex explanations for a wide range of psychophysical and neurophysiological data obtained from human and animal experiments.

Pagrindinis straipsnio tikslas – rekonstruoti socialinį „štangos“ sporto lauką ir moteriško habitus jame veikimo principus. Remiantis P. Bourdieu siūlomomis sąvokomis, norima parodyti, kad sportinis moterų kultūrizmas ir moterų kūno fitnesas yra neatsiejami nuo galios struktūrų ir jų sąsajų su lytiškumo kategorijomis. Taikant kokybinę metodologiją, straipsnyje pristatoma pusiau struktūruotų interviu analizė su sportininkėmis, sykiu atsakant į pagrindinį tyrimo klausimą: kokios įkūnytos taisyklės įgalina (arba riboja) moterų patekimą į sportinį lauką, jei šis tradiciškai apibrėžiamas kaip vyriškas? Straipsnyje teigiama, kad, be sportinio režimo ir kūno treniravimo, jėgos sportininkėms keliamas ne mažiau svarbus reikalavimas tinkamai įkūnyti socialiai priimtiną moteriškumą, šiuos du kriterijus suvokiant kaip pagrindines šios sporto šakos lauko taisykles. Galiausiai į „štangos“ sportininkes pasiūloma žvelgti kaip į „suderinto kūno“ savininkes – kas dieną balansuojančias ant nepakankamo moteriškumo ir perdėto vyriškumo ribos. Pabaigoje aptariamos moterų praktikuojamos strategijos siekiant normalizuoti sportinės ir ne sportinės tapatybių konfliktą.
