Abstract:
Reduced school attendance is a recognised risk factor for poorer outcomes both educationally and across a wide range of social, economic and personal indicators throughout life. Children and young people with chronic health conditions often have poor or disrupted records of school attendance due to periods of hospitalisation and time spent recuperating at home. Keeping students with health conditions connected to school and learning is critical to avoid a trajectory of school absence, disengagement from schoolwork and peers, reduced achievement in education and early school leaving. This paper reports on a research project conducted in Victoria, Australia, to connect 7–12 year old hospitalised children with their school using a specially designed Presence App run on a mobile tablet computer. Nine hospitalised students, their families and schools participated in the trial. Results indicate that the Presence App helped to create and maintain a social presence for the absent child in the classroom and keep students at risk of disengagement connected to school. Our research also showed that while the ‘Presence’ App complemented existing information and communication technology such as videoconferencing and email by connecting hospitalised student and school, it had added advantages over these modes of communication such as creating an on-going classroom presence for the hospitalised child while respecting privacy and attempting to minimise disruption in the hospital and classroom settings.

Abstract:
It is argued that the state in Victoria, Australia, has pursued five key trends in urban planning throughout the 1980s: Privatisation, liberalisation, subsidisation, commercialisation, and elitism. These trends are a response to conditions wrought by global economic restructuring, the dominance of economic fundamentalism as a political discourse in Australia, the institutional structure of federal–State government financial relations, and a resultant perception of fiscal crisis. These developments in urban planning have resulted in financial costs and a loss of democratic accountability to the Victorian community.

Abstract:
AbstractThe poor health status of Australia’s Indigenous people is well-documented, as are the links between health and education. Aboriginal communities recognise the utmost importance of improving educational, physical, social and economic well-being in an environment where disproportionate numbers of Aboriginal students fail to complete secondary schooling. The aim of this paper is to highlight the issues of access, participation, retention and outcomes for Indigenous students wishing to study or currently studying health courses at a tertiary level. This project used a qualitative descriptive approach, conducting in-depth interviews with a number of key stakeholders and students in rural Victoria. Sixteen participants were interviewed, 14 of whom were from the Indigenous community.Participants identified key issues that were linked to the university and broader community environment. Factors in the university environment included lack of Indigenous staff within the mainstream university system, limited support and culturally inappropriate teaching that lead to negative learning experiences and poor motivation to continue with education. In the broader community, the isolating experience of leaving close-knit rural communities and the influence of past experiences on students’ aspirations for tertiary education was highlighted. The importance of community support and liaison with the university and marketing of health courses to the Indigenous communities in the region were key issues that participants identified as needing further attention.

Abstract:
The economic and social conditions of rural Victoria are changing. The concepts and practices that have supported the work of the Country Education Project (CEP) in rural Victoria have to change accordingly. The paper looks at the changes impacting upon rural Australia and examines in particular the subject of disadvantage. Disadvantage is a concept that in practice is drawn from a period of stability and relative affluence. Present circumstances may well require a different interpretation, one more in accord with lifelong educational principles. The policy development of the CEP is then analysed and challenges and issues for that organisation outlined.

Abstract:
Drawing on the research and advocacy work being conducted by the Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health (MCWH), a national community-based organization in Victoria, Australia, the paper analyzes female international students’ experiences with accessing sexual and reproductive health information and services. Accessibility of sexual and reproductive health services is one of a number of areas identified by MCWH in which international students experience unequal treatment. The limitations of international students’ mandatory health insurance is of particular concern because it appears to conflict with Australia’s human rights obligations to take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination and to ensure appropriate services in connection with pregnancy. Given the social, cultural and economic benefits international students bring to the country in which they choose to study, state action on equitable health access for international students is urgently called for.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the interpretation of the terms "conditions" and "pedagogical conditions". The significance and conceptual provisions of pedagogical conditions for the formation of leadership qualities in students of economic universities are determined.A system of pedagogical conditions for the formation of leadership qualities among students of economic universities is singled out. The first pedagogical condition for the formation of leadership qualities among students of economic universities is the creation of an open educational environment for an economic university, which allows building an individual educational trajectory for each student and taking into account the specifics of the professional activity of a future specialist. The second pedagogical condition for the formation of leadership qualities among students of economic universities is the creation of a developing personality-oriented environment in the educational and extra-curricular interaction of students. Its technological arsenal includes methods and techniques that meet such requirements as: dialogicity; activity-creative character; orientation in support of individual development of the individual; providing the student with the necessary space, freedom to make independent decisions, creativity, choice of content and ways of doing things.The emphasis is on the development of a leadership paradigm through the organization of training work. The third pedagogical condition for the formation of leadership skills among students of economic universities is the introduction of a leadership paradigm through the organization of interactive forms of work (trainings) at the School of the Leader. It is described that the program of modular discipline "Fundamentals of Leadership" has been developed. "Personal and professional efficiency. A series of trainings on leadership development for students of economic universities "contains interactive group and individual tasks for obtaining, developing and improving personal leadership qualities. The purpose, tasks and principles of the implementation of a complex of trainings on the development of leadership qualities in the students of economic universities have been determined. Trainings on development of leadership qualities at students of economic universities "Personal and professional efficiency" are distributed by modules. The content, types and direction of training exercises of each module are described.It is emphasized that taking these principles into account allows each student to feel unique personality, to acquire the necessary leadership skills that will help him in communicating, co-operating, and self-development.

Abstract:
Do attitudes toward globalization change with economic conditions? This paper compares student attitudes during an economic expansion with student attitudes during an economic recession. Globalization has resulted in lower prices, more choices, and a blurring of the lines of national identity for many products. Its impact also includes loss of domestic jobs, trade disputes, and challenges to national sovereignty by organizations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO). Two surveys were administered in the College of Commerce and Business Administration at an AACSB-accredited southeastern United States university. The first took place in 2003 while the region was enjoying low unemployment and a vigorous economic expansion. The second was administered in 2009 during a time of significantly higher unemployment and economic recession. The 2003 survey found very positive views towards most aspects of globalization. In contrast, the second survey during markedly more depressed economic times found students were more concerned with their own self-interest, preferring less government interference and less globalization. The results suggest that attempts to promote trade agreements should consider economic conditions as part of their process of developing public support.

Abstract:
PurposeThis study has two aims. It aims to analyse three essential pre-conditions of an authentic sustainability curriculum (ASC). The theoretical analysis involves the definition of authenticity through the learning outcomes (LOs) framework called authentic minimum (AM). This paper also aims to gauge students’ views on economic growth, sustainability and mindfulness.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical aim was accomplished by extensive study of and critical reflections on the relevant literature. The empirical research was qualitative using an online questionnaire as survey instrument consisting of predominantly open-ended questions involving students of two economic faculties. Directed content analysis and nonparametric quantitative methods were used to assess the answers.FindingsViable sustainability goals are in stark contrast with the promotion of sustainable economic growth in sustainable development goals 8 and the reigning neoliberal agenda. The empirical findings provide valuable insights into how undergraduate students view mindfulness, economic growth and aspects of sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThe empirical research has some obvious limitations that warrant caution in generalizing the results. The authors used a sample of convenience and the base population of the survey consisted only in students of economics in two economic faculties of two Hungarian universities.Practical implicationsPractical implications of the present paper are many all sharing; however, the need for existential courage on the part of teachers, students and leaders of higher education institutions. Existential courage is required for profound personal transformation, for going against mainstream ideology and the possible confrontations with colleagues, leaders of institutions, students, friends or family members.Originality/valueOn the theoretical side, the concept of ASC was introduced with AM as its LOs framework. For the first time, an attempt was made to interpret authenticity in sustainability education as an integration of mindfulness, human and environmental ethics and a firm opposition to economic growth and neoliberal ideals. The analysis of qualitative data supported earlier research and also provided unique findings in the examined areas.

Abstract:
Background: The aim of this presentation is to provide an update on the economic evaluation of the Australian SunSmart program as well as outline the cost of skin cancer treatment to the Victorian public hospital system. This follows the publication of two recently released published economic evaluations that discusses the potential effects of skin cancer prevention inventions. Aim: 1. To highlight the cost effectiveness of skin cancer prevention in Australia 2. To highlight the costs of skin cancer treatment in the Victorian public hospital system 3. To provide strong evidence to inform governments of the value of skin cancer prevention to reduce the costs of treatment in future years. Methods: Program cost was compared with cost savings to determine the investment return of the program. In a separate study, a prevalence-based cost approach was undertaken in public hospitals in Victoria. Costs were estimated for inpatient admissions, using state service statistics, and outpatient services based on attendance at three hospitals in 2012-13. Cost-effectiveness for prevention was estimated from 'observed vs expected' analysis, together with program expenditure data. Results: With additional $AUD 0.16 ($USD 0.12) per capita investment into skin cancer prevention across Australia from 2011 to 2030, an upgraded SunSmart Program would prevent 45,000 melanoma and 95,000 NMSC cases. Potential savings in future healthcare costs were estimated at $200 million, while productivity gains were significant. A future upgraded SunSmart Program was predicted to be cost-saving from the funder perspective, with an investment return of $3.20 for every additional dollar the Australian governments/funding bodies invested into the program. In relation to the costs to the Victorian public hospital system, total annual costs were $48 million to $56 million. Skin cancer treatment in public hospitals ($9.20∼$10.39 per head/year) was 30-times current public funding in skin cancer prevention ($0.37 per head/year). Conclusion: The study demonstrates the strong economic credentials of the SunSmart Program, with a strong economic rationale for increased investment. Increased funding for skin cancer prevention must be kept high on the public health agenda. This would also have the dual benefit of enabling hospitals to redirect resources to nonpreventable conditions.

Abstract:
Sustainable management of fisheries has proven to be a daunting exercise for Lake Victoria. Exploitation patterns in the fishery are driven by fishers who adopt different strategies as a response to changing economic, management, socio-economic, and resource conditions. Fisheries managers, however, seldom consider these changes in management policies. The aim of the study, therefore, was to evaluate the adaptation strategies of the Nile perch gillnet fishers on Lake Victoria in Uganda using 8-year catch and effort data collected in the period from 2005 to 2015. Trends of the selected effort and catch variables in the study period identified two adaptive fishing strategies by gillnet fishers on the lake. The first group, the paddled fishermen whose gillnet use varied in the first half of the study, diverted to harvesting juvenile Nile perch by using smaller, mesh sizes, monofilament nets and gillnets of less depth in the second half of the study. Motorized fishers, on the other hand, maintained their mesh size, using multifilament gillnets, however, they increased the depth of their nets in the second half of the study period to maintain their targeted fish size. Fishers on Lake Victoria adapted strategies to cope with their constraints and opportunities based on the Nile perch population structure and their economic needs. It is important for fishery managers to consider that the fishers are an integral part of the fisheries ecosystems, and considering their behavior in management decisions will aid in devising adaptive policies for sustainable resource use and sustainable livelihood development of the fishers’ communities.

Abstract:
The small - scale fisheries and fish trade sector is important in global and national economies by providing millions with income and consumers with food. Nile perch (Lates niloticus ), Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), and small cyprinid ( Rastrineobola argentea ) form the basis of commercial fishery in Lake Victoria. From 1997 to 2000, East Africa suffered a series of fish export bans due to contamination by Salmonella, cholera epidemics and use of chemicals in Lake Victoria. Kenya thereafter adopted hygiene requirements in European directive 91/493/EEC for fish and fish products. Kenya’s fish production from the lake declined from 180,000 metric tons in 2003 , down to 133,000 metric tons in 2010. Globally, 30% of total fish catch is lost through poor post harvest handling. The objectives of this study were to determine the socio - economic conditions of small - scale fish traders, to investigate hygienic practices in handling, storage and processing of fish, and to isolate and identify human pathogens in both fresh and processed fish sold in Kisumu markets. A structured questionnaire was used to get demographic, socio - economic, safety and quality practices information. Samples of fresh and processed fish were tested for Aerobic Plate Count, Coliform, Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae counts. Results revealed that women traders were 81% in number while men were 19% and most of the traders (40%) were aged between 26 and 35 years. The highest level of education attained by majority (51%) of the traders was primary level. The traders’ most frequent income was KES 200 - 399 (USD 3 to 5) a day which cannot sustain a family. Most traders (57%) had additional sources of income to subsidise their needs. Many traders lacked good transport, refrigeration facilities, water, toilet, waste disposal and rubbish disposal. Total plate count was above 10 6 per g which is the maximum allowed. Th e association between Total Plate Count and hygiene quality status of the samples was significant negatively at p value ≤ 0.001. Traders should be trained on hygiene requirements and economic skills for better practices to improve business performance.

Abstract:
This article is an update on a university-wide overhaul of its pedagogy, curriculum and delivery to support the expanding non-traditional, new generation learners while enhancing opportunity and success for traditional learners. The Block Model developed by Victoria University (VU), Australia for its undergraduate cohort, was a bold response to support all students including its high proportion of First-in-family (FiF), low socio-economic status (LSES), and non-English-speaking background (NESB) students. In this radical new hybrid Block model, students study one unit/subject at a time over four weeks. The article reports on preliminary results after two years of implementing the VU Block Model. While both traditional and new-generation cohorts significantly improved their performance, there was a higher improvement in the pass rates of LSES, NESB and FiF students, compared to the improvements in the traditional cohorts of students. These initial results confirm the value of the institution-wide strategy to expand opportunity and enhance success for all.

Abstract:
The thesis that environmental scarcity leads to violent conflict in many parts of the developing world has become ascendant in the literature and has gained much publicity in policy circles in the last decade. According to students of environmental scarcity and conflict, the most conflict-prone renewable resource is fresh water. Indeed, Lake Victoria (the world's second largest fresh water lake, shared by three African countries and affecting or affected by nine others in the basin) exhibits the conditions one would expect, based on the literature, to pro duce conflict, and sooner rather than later. However, based on research includ ing fieldwork conducted in June-July 2000, our findings indicate that while en vironmental degradation is evident in the magnitude expected to trigger conflict, violent conflict has not occurred. This paper seeks to explain why this is so, which may suggest how developing nations can avert the supposed trajec tory into violent conflict.

Abstract For Asante our “battle is intense, the struggle we wage for status power is serious and we cannot communicate as equals when our economic position is that of servants” (2008, p. 49), words that resonated with the author throughout her research with Sudanese Australian young women about their educational experiences, as captured in co-created short films. While the work moved between social science and arts-based research the author questioned the basis of her relationship with the co-participants, and the possibility of fluid status positions within educational contexts. This paper interrogates the im/possibility within neoliberal secondary school contexts for activist educational research (Giroux, 2005) to be the kind of ‘interchange’ of which Asante speaks, a source of creative understanding for researchers and co-participants, if it cannot address co-participants’ (and teacher/student) unequal material conditions. In the case presented in this article, materially-influenced communication challenges reflect current curricular and pedagogical tensions, especially for refugee-background students. Where racial, cultural and socio-economic marginalities intersect, pedagogical and curricular possibilities are sometimes foreclosed before students even enter ‘neoliberal’ classrooms.

Abstract:
A detailed analysis of psycho-pedagogical, methodological and linguistic sources in the article has allowed one to justify and build a holistic model of developing communicative professional competence in economics students. This author’s model includes the interrelated components of communicative professional activities (motivation and goals; orientation and cognition; functions and activities; evaluation and correction), criteria for their assessment and levels of communicative professional competence in economics students (high, average, low). The following pedagogical conditions have been presented in the context of the research: modelling probable professional communicative situations in the educational process; ensuring communicative professional orientation of information and communication technologies; strengthening the subjective position of students during communicative professional training. Their effective use in the educational process contributes to developing the motivational sphere of students, improving their knowledge of languages ​​and other academic courses, enhancing their abilities to apply the obtained knowledge in practice and adequately assess themselves as specialists. The international relevance of the article lies in offering guidelines for educational institutions that strive to enhance the educational processes in a postmodern society.

Abstract:
A sample of 3336 teachers from across Canada described the current socioeconomic conditions of their students, schools, and local communities and indicated the frequencies with which they observed particular students' problems (personal, economic-related, discipline), and the adequacy of school facilities, programs, and resources. They also reported how these had changed over a 2-yr. period. Poorer economic conditions (more fathers unemployed, higher current unemployment rates) were significantly related to students' more frequent problems and less adequate facilities, resources, and programs. Deterioration (more frequent problems, less adequate facilities and programs) was consistently related to perceived impact of the economic recession.

Abstract:
We present findings from a study of sex workers recruited in indoor licensed premises in Victoria. While the study addressed regulation, enforcement and working conditions, we focus on the value of flexible well-paid work for two particular groups of female workers (parents and students). We link this issue of flexibility to broader gendered employment conditions in Australia, arguing the lack of comparable employment is crucial to understanding worker decisions about sex work. Debates and regulation focus on gendered inequalities related to heterosexuality much more than they recognize gendered inequalities related to labour market conditions. The focus on criminalization, harm, exploitation and stigma obscures the centrality of work flexibility and conditions to women's decision-making. A more direct focus on the broader employment context may produce better recognition of why women do sex work.

Abstract:
The systemic transformation of the Russian society in modern market conditions assigns a special role to economic sciences, which form the economic outlook of citizens. The continuous improvement of the quality of economic education in general and methods of teaching economic disciplines, in particular, seems to be undeniably relevant. In the context of a two-level education system in the Russian Federation, the theoretical unpreparedness and dogmatic practical orientation of graduates of economic training areas is completely unacceptable. In this aspect the role of a teacher in the educational process and the use of modern educational technologies and their constant improvement are especially significant. The above mentioned circumstances determine the relevance of the topic of the study. The research substantiates the need for continuous improvement of an integrated approach to teaching economic disciplines, systematizes the experience of teaching economic disciplines in Russian higher educational institutions. The article proposes a new understanding of the process of improving teaching methods of economic disciplines and improving the quality of economic knowledge of students, the author’s list of methods of teaching economic disciplines is given. The following research methods have been used: a formalized method for parsing and analyzing methodological developments, systematization and data synthesis.

Abstract:
Background: Deteriorating economic conditions caused by rising inflation and living expenses can have negative consequences for university students. This comparative study examined Israeli and Japanese “help” profession (e.g., medicine, nursing, social work, and psychology) students’ fear of such conditions and its impact on their health and well-being. Methods: Data were collected from a cross-sectional sample of 848 university students from Israel and Japan (78.9% female, 20.4% male, and 0.7% other) during a 3-month period of economic decline in 2022. Reliable data-collection instruments and SPSS (version 25) were used for the study. Results: Overall, Japanese students evidenced a higher level of economic well-being than their Israeli counterparts. This finding may have been a result of the lower inflation and living costs in Japan. However, most survey respondents evidenced a fear of deteriorating economic conditions that was significantly associated with psycho-emotional behavior, including increased burnout, substance use, unhealthy food intake, weight gain, and resilience regardless of gender and religiosity. Conclusions: The study findings showed the impact of deteriorating economic conditions on the health and well-being of “help” profession students. These results are preliminary; however, they do serve as an early warning of the key challenges that may need to be considered and addressed for prevention and intervention purposes. Further research should be conducted in other countries and over different time periods to substantiate present findings.

Many factors can affect a student's success in learning, both internal and external factors, such as socio-cultural and economic parents of students. The study aims to analyze the socio-cultural conditions (family environment) and socio-economic conditions of parents (education, employment and parental income) and their effect on students' social study learning outcomes. From most of the socio-cultural conditions of students (family environments) are categorized well. The socio-cultural conditions of students have a significant effect on the learning outcomes of students' social studies with a value of p = 0.004, in socio-economic conditions of the student's parents, most of whom have a low education, work as non-civil servants and the majority of the student's parents' income is relatively low. The education of the student's parents has a significant effect on the student's social studies learning outcomes. The work of the student's parents had a significant effect on the student's social study learning outcomes with a score of p = 0.016. The income of the parents of students had a significant effect on the learning outcomes of social studies of students with a value of p = 0.017, the results of a double logistic regression analysis concluded that the socio-cultural and educational conditions of parents were simultaneously a significant and dominant (strong) influence on social study learning outcomes for students of class VII of Tanjungbalai State Junior High School 11 Tanjungbalai school year 2020/2021.

Abstract:
This reflective paper considers how Dr. Ian Yeoman teaches futures studies and scenario planning to tourism students across several undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. It is based on his teaching philosophy of visualization, authenticity, problem-based learning, scaffolding, and his understanding of how students negotiate their own learning. The paper examines the approach taken in three papers, where Yeoman is the primary lecturer. As part of the bachelor of tourism management degree, two papers are taught. TOUR104 is a first-year introductory paper addressing how the drivers and trends in the macro-environment influence tourism from a political, economic, social, technology, and environmental perspective. TOUR301 is a third-year paper that aims to help students develop the skills and knowledge necessary to understand and critically analyze tourism public policy, planning, and processes primarily within New Zealand. TOUR413 is a scenario planning paper, applied in a tourism context and taught to students in postgraduate programs. The contribution this paper makes is in its demonstration of the link between teaching philosophy and student learning, the challenges students encounter with futures thinking in a problem-based learning environment and the evolution of the papers.

Abstract:
Assessment of the prospects of introduced and created varieties of Lavandula angustifolia L. in the conditions of the Southern Steppe in terms of yield and essential oil content in raw materials, as well as the influence of the weather conditions of the year on these economically valuable traits is given. The study included 11 samples of Lavandula angustifolia L. Ecological and phenological observations were carried out for the studied plants. During the period of mass flowering of plants, the crop was recorded. The mass fraction of the essential oil was determined by the Ginsberg method on the Clevenger apparatus. The main results of the multi-year research work on the assessment of collection samples for economic and valuable characteristics of Lavandula angustifolia depending on weather conditions are highlighted. On the basis of the State Enterprise «Experimental Farming “Novokakhov”» of the Institute of ClimateOriented Agriculture of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, collection plots of narrow-leaved lavender samples were established for introductory study and testing in the conditions of the Southern Steppe. For 20 years in this region, Lavandula angustifolia underwent multi-vector study as an ornamental and essential oil crop.During this period, new variety samples and varieties adapted to local conditions were created, which have increased decorative indicators, as well as high yield and mass share of essential oil in raw materials. In particular, Lydia, Victoria and Sinieva Nadiyi varieties, with the following characteristics: plant height, cm — 65, 60.0 and 60.0, respectively; inflorescence length, cm — 8.0, 5.0 and 13.0; number of inflorescences on a plant, pcs. — 95, 230 and 200; number of flowers in an inflorescence, pcs. — 80, 49 and 90; essential oil content, % — 3.0, 3.8 and 3.25; collection of essential oil, kg/ha — 64.0, 83.0 and 71.0; content of linalyl acetate in essential oil, % — 48.0, 34.2 and 20.1; duration of the flowering period, days — 30; inflorescence yield, t/ha — 0.53, 0.55 and 0.55; frost resistance, score (1–9) — 9; resistance against pests, score (1–9): ant (Lasiusnsger) — 9; causative agents of diseases, score (1–9) — 9 — not detected (village Lidia), sora rot — 9 (village Victoria) and not detected (village Sinieva Nadiyi); zoning area — steppe. The period 2016–2021 is of particular interest, considering the study of the adaptability of culture. The weather conditions in the mentioned years differed among themselves in terms of temperature, amount of precipitation and their distribution, etc. Such conditions made it possible to assess comprehensively the influence of the weather conditions on the manifestation of economic and valuable characteristics of collections of lavender samples in this region, including newly created varieties of this valuable culture. Observations revealed deviations in the passage of phenological phases and the accumulation of essential oil. The minimum yields and essential oil content of all samples occurred in 2016, which is associated with a sharp drop in temperature and freezing of plant shoots. The maximum yield of raw materials was recorded in 2020, which is associated with the optimal amount of precipitation in the phase of growth and budding. The maximum indicators of the mass fraction of essential oil in raw materials were recorded in 2018, which is associated with high average daily temperatures and the absence of precipitation and dry weather during flowering. The results of the long-term evaluation of the samples of narrow-leaved lavender L. angustifolia based on the main economic and valuable characteristics indicate the prospects of industrial cultivation of the crop in the conditions of the Southern Steppe, and also convincingly prove the presence of genetic material of domestic origin adapted to the conditions of the region.

The data analysis technique uses here as path analysis. The findings in the study are the socio-economic conditions and parents' attention directly, positively and significantly influence students' motivation to learn. Then the parents' socio-economic conditions, parents' attention, and motivation to learn have a positive and significant direct effect on learning achievement. Furthermore, motivation to learn is considered to mediate the influence of socio-economic conditions and parents' attention to social studies learning achievement. Parents' attention also mediates the influence of parents' socio-economic conditions on motivation to learn and learning achievement. Learning achievement is more accessible to achieve for families with adequately socio-economic conditions. Social studies learning achievements can be improved by increasing the attention of parents because it will increase motivation and further improve learning achievement.

(1) Background: Childhood overweight and obesity is a significant and preventable problem worldwide. School environments have been suggested to be plausible targets for interventions seeking to improve the quality of children’s dietary intake. The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which the current characteristics of the school food environment were associated with primary school students’ dietary intake and Body Mass Index (BMI) z scores in a representative sample in regional Victoria. (2) Methods: This study included 53 schools, comprising a sample of 3,496 students in year levels two (aged 7–8 years), four (9–10 years) and six (11–12 years). Year four and six students completed dietary questionnaires. Principals from each school completed a survey on school food environment characteristics. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between students’ dietary intake and school food environment scores, controlling for confounders such as socio-economic status, school size and sex. Food environment scores were also analysed against the odds of being healthy weight (defined as normal BMI z score). (3) Results: Mixed associations were found for the relationship between students’ dietary intake and food environment scores. Meeting the guidelines for vegetable intake was not associated with food environment scores, but students were more likely (OR: 1.68 95% CI 1.26, 2.24) to meet the guidelines if they attended a large school (>300 enrolments) and were female (OR: 1.28 95% CI: 1.02, 1.59). Healthy weight was not associated with school food environment scores, but being a healthy weight was significantly associated with less disadvantage (OR: 1.24 95% CI 1.05, 1.45). Conclusion: In this study, the measured characteristics of school food environments did not have strong associations with dietary intakes or BMI among students.

One of the factors that influence children's development is the parents' socioeconomic status. Some students are revealed to have mathematics learning outcomes that have not yet reached the Minimum Mastery Criteria (Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal or KKM). It might occur due to the economic conditions of parents. Therefore, the researchers desired to determine the effect of parents' socioeconomic status on the learning outcomes of students in the fifth-grade of the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic Elementary School or MI) Islamiyah Karangpakel. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of parents' socioeconomic status on student mathematics learning outcomes at Islamiyah Karangpakel. Questionnaires and documentation were used as data collection techniques. The study was conducted by quantitative methods with the type of expost de facto. The study population consisted of students in the fifth grade of MI Islamiyah Karangpakel, with a total of 20 students. The data analysis technique used Simple Linear Regression and was assisted by SPSS 16.0. Based on the calculation of the significance level of 5%, it indicates that the influence of parents' socioeconomic status on student mathematics learning outcomes was in precentage 41,4%, or has sufficient influence while other variables or factors influence the rest. Thus, it can be concluded that the influence of parents' social economic status influences students’ mathematics learning outcomes.

Abstract:
It is known that the export of educational services is one of the promising direction in the devel-opment of the education system. On one hand the arrival of foreign students for education demonstrates the relevance of national education, on the other hand it makes possible to identify the most important areas of the system and the ways of its improvement. As a result, educational institutions are being increasingly included in the competition for attract-ing foreign students. Certainly, each country has its particularities in realization of the educational services export caused by national traditions and the modern state of society. In main aspects the Republic of Belarus conserves the traditions of the Soviet Union to provide not only the quality of professional training but also to form personality with certain world outlook. But now all over the world the export of educational services is associated with the possibility of expanding the cultural, economic and political influence on other countries. It is seems that in this conditions experience of the Republic of Belarus (of course, purified from ideology), can be useful for reproduction by other coun-tries. As practice shows the providing of educational services just through training without the pur-poseful work aimed at the assimilation of a certain kind of knowledge and skills is ineffective. Certainly, living and studying in the country of language sooner or later leads to the fact that a foreign citizen will learn a language in some degree, will know the culture and traditions, but as it’s shown in the article the existence of barriers impeding this process must be taken into account. The increase of the quantity of visitors is accompanied by the formation of local diasporas which actually reproduce the socio-cultural atmosphere of native countries and their value attitudes. In these conditions we consider that the most important task is the modernization of the educational process to maximize the integration of the con-tent of training and education with its socio-cultural aspect. To optimize the process of introducing of socio-cultural knowledge in this article we propose the model for the implementation of multicultural education of foreign students. According to the results of experimental and theoretical studies we produce a model of multicultural education including various measures aimed at improving of the quality of education and facili-tating foreign students’ successful socialization in the Republic of Belarus. It should be emphasized that even having a good level of professional training the teachers know the culture of foreign students poorly and, as a consequence, the educational process is monocultural, with-out reliance on a scale of values of students, which badly influences the integration and cultural understand-ing of the country As it is known, the task of the formation of tolerance between bearers of different cul-tures is one of the most actual for modern civilization. It appears that the model proposed in the article will contribute to its solution. In conclusion we’d like to emphasize that the problem of training of foreign students is relevant for all countries. There is a necessity to introduce a system of training which could integrate the capabilities of its socio-cultural aspect with educational one to train the specialists capable to solve professional tasks for the benefit of their country and for "alma mater" country. Key words: multicultural education, export of educational services, national education, tertiary education.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore and explain the dynamics of the striving force namely, the supporting and inhibiting factors of high achieving students striving force with necessitous condition. The informant characteristics of this study are high achieving students with necessitous condition (students who are needy with the broken home family and experiencing violence from their family) who attend junior and senior high school and college students. There are 3 informants and 9 informants complementary, with interview method. The results of this study are; 1) Informants control economic difficulties with frugal behavior and concerned attitudes. Good self-regulation in controlling difficult situations so as not to widen and influence the educational dimension. Resilience behavior is more appear in informants of victims of broken homes and survivors of domestic violence. Gratitude makes the informant more eager to rise from adversity to achieve a better life, accompanied by strong motivation and relational efficacy between mother and informant. 2) Supporting factor is derived from internal factors such as the competitiveness, coping behavior and the ability of improvement (resilience), visionary and strong internal motivation, self-awareness and the ability to think positively with gratitude. While external factors mostly come from social support of family, other students and community. 3) Inhibiting factors namely are the problem of emotion-regulation such as less stable emotional state, poverty, dysfunction of family’s role and the problem of fatherless families. It is concluded that a compensation made by the informant with self-regulation, gratitude in increasing resilience and the relational efficacy of family members in strengthening the struggle for achievement

Abstract:
This article provides the results of theoretical research aimed at determination of the impact of economic stereotypes upon the formation of business character traits of high school students in the Far North. Students&rsquo; representations on the economy are determined as the value foundations for understanding life activity for their effective inclusion into the system of socioeconomic relations. In order to develop the methods for overcoming economic stereotypes by high school students, the authors solved the following tasks: outline the conceptual framework of the term &ldquo;economic stereotypes&rdquo;; carry out the analysis of their impact upon human behavior; reveal contradictions in the representations of high school students; determine the key economic stereotypes of high school students of the Far North and the need to overcome them in modern conditions. The relevance of this research is substantiated by the need for the formation of adequate perception of economic reality among youth of the Far North, which would eliminate negative economic stereotypes on the one hand, and contribute to the development of business character traits on the other. The main conclusion lies in identification of such economic stereotypes in the youth consciousness that impede young people in submerging into the economic environment and organizing entrepreneurial activity in the conditions of the Far North. The authors believe that the most effective strategy for overcoming negative economic stereotypes of high school students that hinder their productive economic activity lies in strengthening of the role of education in this sphere, as well as increasing the level of economic competence of the pedagogues and the parents.

Abstract:
Data from experimental sites at Maindample and Ruffy, on which different grazing systems were implemented, was extrapolated to a 100-ha paddock on a commercial property to determine their economic and financial implications. Included into the analyses were risk assessments to allow for sowing failures due to adverse seasonal conditions and price variability of meat and wool during the life of the pasture. Where graziers carried out pasture improvement, the results indicated that changing from control (low-input pasture stocked at a low intensity) to high-input (high stocking rates and fertiliser addition) rather than medium-input pasture was the more profitable option. In changing to high-input pasture at Maindample, a cattle activity using nominal discount rates of 10%/year required success rates in pasture establishment of ≥80% for profitability. For cattle at Ruffy, using the same discount rate, the change was profitable for success rates in pasture establishment of ≥70%, but lamb and wool activities were only profitable for success rates in pasture establishment of ≥90%. Over both sites, cattle at Ruffy was the only activity in which the change was profitable for nominal discount rates of 15%/year, but success rates for pasture establishment also had to be ≥90%. Financial analyses performed on these increases in profitability confirmed that they were feasible because the payback periods for deficits incurred during the development and management of the improved pasture were less than the 13-year life of the investments. However, using a contractor to improve the pastures was not feasible because the deficits could not be repaid within the period of the investment. These results support the current low adoption of perennial pastures and have significant implications for catchment management bodies in Victoria and New South Wales where heavy reliance is placed on perennial pastures to improve catchment outcomes.

Abstract:
The anticipated effects of climate change, competing demands from the environment, industry and urban users, and changes in water policy are likely to reduce the amount and increase the variability of water allocations to dairy farmers in northern Victoria. The way two irrigated dairy farms that differed in feedbase characteristics, herd size and farm area, would operate and perform with reduced and more variable water allocations was examined over 10 years. Strategies to manage the impact of changed water availability were tested; namely, increasing milk production by feeding more supplementary feed, changing the feed system to present supplements in a partial mixed ration (PMR), and increasing milk production by using a PMR. Neither farm was profitable under medium climate change, or if the conditions that generated the low inflows of water into irrigation supply dams between 1996–97 and 2006–07 prevailed, unless changes were made to the farm system. Feeding supplements in a well formulated mixed ration have the potential to increase the efficiency of metabolisable energy use and offers the opportunity to increase feed intake and milk production. A PMR system enabled one of the farms to maintain and increase profit under medium climate change conditions; however, risk, measured as variability in profit, also increased. Under more severe reductions in water availability, neither of the farms examined was profitable over the run of years. Changes to the farm system other than feeding additional supplementary feed to increase milk production and/or using a PMR system, would be needed to counteract the effects of reduced and more variable water availability and maintain profit.

Abstract:
In the presented article, the author, in search of overcoming the negative trends that have arisen in the educational environment in our time, reducing the ability of students to concentrate on a particular topic for a long time and memorize, draws attention to the need to additionally motivate students in a foreign language class at a non-linguistic university when teaching economic specialties. The possibility of motivating students through achievement motivation is considered, which can contribute to the achievement of the goals set by the university and to the formation of the personality of the future specialist.
