Students from programme of Chemistry Analysis Technologies implement three course works during their three years studies in Vilnius College of Higher Education, Department of Chemistry. Analysis of the last few years shows students non-productivity in usage of time for consultations with mentors fruitfully. Students can hardly formulate their thoughts, to cite different literature, analyze and summarize different conclusions. Especially they lack competencies in taking concrete decisions. So naturally it raises the question – what causes such incompetence to systemize, analyze and summaries appropriate information to prepare final work successfully. Within implemented research was attained to find out the main reasons that cause lack of competences in preparing the final course work. There are seen clear tendency that most of students are very confident about their abilities to work independently and keep them self as competent. Lecturers’ positions are opposite – they tend to say that quality of work depends on not only on methodical literature, their abilities, independent work, but largely depends on masters advices. There are shown different positions of student and lecturers in training and evaluation of different parts of course work, and points to confrontation of different opinions in this article. All this leads towards finding the right way to promote students’ self-sufficiency and work efficiency in their studies. Key words: Course work, final work, sufficiency, Competency.

A study was carried out to identify differences in training of resident physicians in the specialties: Management and Economics of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacognosy and under the specialist’s program Pharmacy and to explore the possibilities of granting pharmacy workers the right to transit from one specialty to another without compulsory completion of residency. The urgency of this article is associated with a large number of issues that are being faced by pharmacists who transit from one specialty to another.An analysis of the age and occupational structure of pharmacists improving their qualifications (2300 people) was conducted in the Irkutsk region and the Trans-Baikal Territory. The results of the study showed that it seems like a good idea not to associate the transition from one specialty to another with the obligatory completion of residency, but to provide an admission to work as a pharmacist-technologist after initial accreditation, taking into account the specifics of the work of pharmaceutical specialists in pharmacies, the need to ensure the interchangeability of workers and reduce staff turnover without falling off in quality of work.

Work in public and private sectors compared Work in public and private sectors compared During the past years, Dutch media made mention of work problems and social unrest in the public sectors. However, research did not focus very strongly on the quality of work in these sectors. Therefore the aim of this article is to describe working conditions and terms of employment in the public sectors in comparison with the private sectors in the Netherlands. The data used were gathered by TNO and Statistics Netherlands in 2010 with the annual Netherlands Working Conditions Survey. The 2010-sample contained 23.000 workers, representative for the Dutch work force.The analyses – centered on 10 public and 10 private sectors – show clearly that mental-emotional strain is higher in the public sectors than in private sectors. On the other hand, physical strain, dangerous work and irregular working hours, are encountered more frequently in the private sectors. In the public sectors employees work more with permanent contracts and in shorter working weeks. Work uncertainty is seen above average in the financial and commercial services and in the transportation sector, but also in government departments, the judiciary and the police. Feelings of burn out are found most often in the three educational sectors. Pay satisfaction is highest among workers in the financial services, higher education and government departments, and lowest in the police and the hotel and catering industry. On average overall work satisfaction is highest in the public sectors.In addition, the analyses show that the 10 public sectors cannot be seen as one whole; the same is true for the 10 private sectors. As far as the quality of work is concerned, government departments, local governments, provinces and higher education resemble commercial and financial services. But primary and secondary education, health care and the police differ significantly from the other public sectors.
