Abstract:
The research dynamics were focused towards a convenient and relevant thematic description of the advances and new trends in the approach of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) facing the new century.  Two important phenomena were taken into account: the changing context of the corresponding problems, thus, the innovation of responsible answers of the organizations before those changes. It also follows diverse alternatives of organizational participation within CSR, given the numerous references and authors who, in one way or another, focus the enterprise management in order to contribute to basic factors such as the social and the environmental ones.

Abstract:
A BRIEF description of my formative years and the location of my early development provides clues to my philosophy about life which influences my approach to farming. I was fortunate to have had the experience of an upbringing on the land during the 1940s, at Kukerin in the wheatbelt, and 19S0s, in the Mount Barker region, in southwestern Australia. It was a period of rapid change when mechanization brought about development that far outstripped long-term planning. Huge areas of the Jarrah Eucalyptus marginata forest were cleared and burnt to make way for agriculture. The sandplains rich in flora and fauna were easily cleared for extensive agriculture. These changes left me with a feeling of regret and those who follow my generation will never know what we have lost. This period was a time when education taught the basics of life and when good "life" values were inculcated with sayings, morals and mottoes. Two of these I have never forgotten: "waste not, want not"; and "good, better, best, never let it rest, till your good is better, and your better best". They have been guiding principles for me. I also hold to the sentiment that nature and experience are the best teachers and that nothing is more certain than change.

Abstract:
Human and environment are closely related. The environment affects humans directly and indirectly. The concept of self-reliant development is based on an integrated approach to environmental and development policies, which aims at maximizing economic benefits from an ecological region and minimizing environmental hazards and risks. It includes, to fulfill the needs and expectations of the present without compromising the capabilities of the future. To achieve this, we have to do ecological co-ordination of development in which we must reconfigure our priorities and abandon the one-dimensional paradigm which sees growth with a certain limited view, in which objects are placed higher rather than individuals who have Instead of our happiness, our needs have increased.
 मानव और पर्यावरण का निकट का सम्बन्ध है। पर्यावरण मानव को प्रत्यक्ष और अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से प्रभावित करता है। स्वावलम्बी विकास की अवधारणा पर्यावरण एवं विकास नीतियों के एकीकृत नजरिये पर आधारित है जिनका अभिप्राय किसी पारिस्थितिक क्षेत्र से अधिकाधिक आर्थिक लाभ लेना एवं पर्यावरण के संकट एवं जोखिम को न्यूनतम करना है। इसमें अन्तर्निहित है, वर्तमान की आवश्यकताओं एवं अपेक्षाओं को भविष्य की क्षमताओं से समझौता किये बिना पूरा करना। इसको प्राप्त करने के लिये हमें विकास का पारिस्थितिक समन्वय करना होगा जिसमें हमें अपनी प्राथमिकताओं का पुनर्निन्यास करना चाहिये तथा एक आयामी प्रतिमान छोड़ देना चाहिये जो कि वृद्धि को कतिपय सीमित दृष्टिकोंण से देखता है, जिसमें व्यक्ति के बजाय वस्तुओं को उच्चतर स्थान दिया जाता है जिसने हमारे सुख की बजाय हमारी आवश्यकताओं में वृद्धि कर दी है।

Abstract:
Fake news, disinformation and propaganda (FDP) present an important threat to modern democratic societies and has critical an impact on the quality of public life. This article presents an organic approach to understanding of FDP. The approach builds up on the various similarities with virology where FDP is compared to a hostile virus which is spread in a certain environment and may penetrate into the human body. Based on the three pillars involving creation, spread and penetration the authors deliver in total 28 policy measures which will contribute to an information resilient society: a society which is aware of the manipulative or hostile content of information and which is encouraged by working with high quality information within the FDP hostile environment.

Abstract:
Education diversification is a precondition for the sustainability of the society and education as such. Diversified education can ensure the accessibility of education, as well as individualization according to the needs of the society. Distance learning is one of education alternatives. Research in the field of distance learning environment shall be based on the ecological approach in education, which has many and various forms. Multidimensional approach is one of them. The aim of the article is to justify the multidimensional model of distance learning environment, that comprises: 1) self-directed learning pedagogical support environment; 2) informative environment; 3) technological environment; 4) e-environment. The multidimensional approach promotes holistic approach, thus avoiding unilateralism in relation to research in the distance learning environment specificity, as well as to its development.

Abstract:
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common emergency presenting among high risk patients. It is important to have a structured approach to clinical assessment, diagnosis and management of this potentially life-threatening emergency. Clinical and management pathways have improved over the last 10 years as clear guidelines have emerged. Newer diagnostic modalities have become available and will hopefully improve the pick-up rate of PE and reduce the morbidity and mortality. High level evidence presented by the American Society of Haematology and the European Society of Cardiology forms the basis for this review.

Abstract:
Agri-food systems (AFS) have been central in the debate on sustainable development. Despite this growing interest in AFS, comprehensive analyses of the scholarly literature are hard to find. Therefore, the present systematic review delineated the contours of this growing research strand and analyzed how it relates to sustainability. A search performed on the Web of Science in January 2020 yielded 1389 documents, and 1289 were selected and underwent bibliometric and topical analyses. The topical analysis was informed by the SAFA (Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture systems) approach of FAO and structured along four dimensions viz. environment, economy, society and culture, and policy and governance. The review shows an increasing interest in AFS with an exponential increase in publications number. However, the study field is north-biased and dominated by researchers and organizations from developed countries. Moreover, the analysis suggests that while environmental aspects are sufficiently addressed, social, economic, and political ones are generally overlooked. The paper ends by providing directions for future research and listing some topics to be integrated into a comprehensive, multidisciplinary agenda addressing the multifaceted (un)sustainability of AFS. It makes the case for adopting a holistic, 4-P (planet, people, profit, policy) approach in agri-food system studies.

Abstract:
Traditional approach to the study of society-nature interactions based on reductionism and linear causality is no longer fully capable of explaining complex dynamics of integrated socio-economic and natural systems. For this reason demands for complexity theory is growing. Understanding interactions between society and nature, human and their environment must come from the examination of how the two systems operate together, and not from examination of those systems themselves in isolation. Since our geographical community is not familiar enough with complexity theory, first part of article is devoted to outlining shift from reductionism to holism and complexity theory. In the second part, features of complex systems as it is human (society)-environment system are discussed. .

Full text
Abstract:
In an increasingly complex business environment, companies need to reassess their strategic choices on a regular basis. However, companies are struggling to collect and efficiently interpret the relevant information on their business environment. Whereas market information is often analyzed, influences from the broader environment (e.g., society) are often neglected. This paper argues that companies often lack a systemic approach to their strategy development process, and that environmental influences are only considered selectively. We suggest that companies themselves need to be seen as systems that are embedded in a complex environment. To develop a successful strategic orientation, a systematic screening of the environment must be coupled with a thorough analysis of the firm’s internal circumstances (e.g., competencies). Therefore, the paper proposes a holistic framework for conceiving companies as systems. Furthermore, we discuss how the scenario technique could support a systematic analysis of the company’s environment. The paper also aims to provide practical guidelines for managers and contributes to integrating a systems thinking approach into strategy development.

Abstract:
The technosphere which is the artificial shell of the Earth can be considered the contemporary result of developing the society and the world as a whole. The technosphere, being a complex system, contains entire regions, urban agglomerations, industrial zones, industrial and domestic environments. New technospheric conditions include people’s living conditions in cities and industrial centres, production, transport and life amenities. As a consequence, the society from the primary biological becomes technospheric one, i.e. the society dominated by artificial components. When studying the technosphere-urban society, the author uses the methodology of the socio-natural approach, based on the works of V.I. Vernadsky about changing the biosphere by the scientifically organized human mind and forming the noosphere. The basis of this scientific approach to the world study is researching the society and nature, the Earth reality on the basis of their interconnected social and natural development. Technogenic changes taking place in the world (the growing role of the urbanized environment, genetic engineering, living organism cloning) are inevitable. The technosphere-urban society will be the society of the future, created by the technosphere and the global technological development.

Abstract:
The development of a human being takes place in the interaction with his/her life environment. Educational environment, including distance education environment, is particularly important for the facilitation of the sustainability of all society and the development of each individual. Ecological paradigm becomes more and more topical in modern education. The authors of the article base their research on the ecological approach, where an educational institution as the distance education environment is a multicomponent/multicontextual system. The results of theoretical research enabled the authors to identify several contexts of distance education environment: informative environment, technological environment and e-environment that complementary supplement each other. There have been analyzed and compared several concepts related to distance education, identifying in them the common and different features. Ecological approach enabled to reveal the essence of distance education and to describe distance education environment from different aspects.

Full text
Abstract:
Housing renovation is a common concern to owners, tenants and to society at large. In addition to the high economic costs, the implementation of housing renovation usually have a long-term impact on the society and the built environment. This is a theoretical paper that develops a system model for understanding sustainable housing renovation as a system phenomenon which has multiple sustainability goals, complicated dynamic processes, diverse actors, and a sophisticated institutional environment. It identifies the key challenges of a sustainable housing renovation system, namely the conflicting sustainability goals and the conflicting stakeholder interests. To address these two challenges, the paper suggests an innovation approach in which the process of innovation (linear versus organic) and the typology of innovation (product versus process and business versus social) toward sustainable housing renovation are discussed.

Abstract:
PurposeThis article sheds light onto the increasing problem of product returns, which is exacerbated by growing e-commerce. Many retailers and academics are oblivious to the nature and scale of this challenge. Interdisciplinary research is needed to develop supporting theory, and cross-functional teams are required to implement measures addressing economic, ecological and social sustainability issues.Design/methodology/approachThe initial project adopted a multi-case study approach, whereby returns processes were mapped, vulnerabilities identified and a returns cost calculator was developed.FindingsProduct returns processes are usually complicated, prone to internal and external fraud, inefficient and lack sustainability. They can generate considerable losses to the business, especially as returns data are often not systematically collected, monitored or reported to senior management. There are important implications for strategic and operational management, namely the need to develop a concept for Lean returns systems.Originality/valueProduct returns are a unique and understudied but growing field in academic research, with only few publications over the last two decades. Yet the phenomenon is causing increasing problems in business and society. Robust solutions could achieve great financial and non-financial impacts.

Abstract:
Advances in technology cause a lot of damage to the environment and cultural shifts in society. This condition requires learning to integrate technology with the environment and society. Society-based industrial era 4.0 towards 5.0 studying and technology must pay attention to the preservation of nature and culture in society. The approach that fits this mandate is SETS (science, environment, technology, and society). The SETS approach can be applied in various media, methods and learning models. One of them is a science comic for junior high school that has included the SETS component in its material. This research is a qualitative descriptive study about the relationship between SETS components in junior high school science comics. The instruments in this study were data cards and operational definitions. The data in this study are in the form of words, language, pictures, and behavior that show the representation of the SETS components. The analysis results show that all SETS components have been represented in the science comics. SETS which is integrated into the learning process is expected to improve the quality of students in facing an increasingly advanced industrial era but still environmentally friendly.

The government environment policy is important because as a guide to plan the use of environment and society as a bundle of nations interest due to industrial revolution. The industrial revolution is a challenge for government to maximize this revolution to enhance the management of environment in order to fulfill the human rights environment without ignoring the capacity and reuse of environment. The method of this article is normative approach by analyzing the related regulations and comparative approach. The issue is how the government make policy in coming industrial revolution. The neglected of society needs will cause damage of environment. Government has to move to new paradigm of decision-making process, by using the participation of society. Theory of development of law which had been introduced in Indonesia for some years ago was inspired by Roscoe Pound and Eugene Erlich’s theory, which might be used to support the government. The multi-level governance which develops in European Union gives influence in paradigm shift of government. The integration between theory of development of law and multi–level governance is important to use by government to embody the welfare state.

Disaster can happen anytime and anywhere, therefore the solutions offered for students' understanding of disaster, one of them is the SETS approach through disaster mitigation. This research aims to determine the learning process and to know the students’ activities, and their responses towards SETS approach through disaster mitigation. This research is a qualitative type with a sample of 37 students. Data collection techniques are the results of observations, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that 90% of students were more active, have the spirit to learn, and the response towards learning is very good. The implementation of SETS approach through mitigation is appropriate to do, because students experience the direct occurrence of flood disaster. With the introduction to disaster mitigation, students can realize the importance of preserving the natural environment and minimize the impact of disasters that can harm the community.

Abstract:
The institution of education has been one of many institutions that has been negligent in the nurturing and development of underrepresented groups in society. This institution has all but failed this significant segment of the population and, as a result, has failed society as a whole. Providing access to equal educational opportunities is vital to the survival of our communities, and society as a whole. Statistics suggest that by the millennium, underrepresented populations will encompass a large portion of the population. If our society is to remain competitive, not only will it be necessary to better develop the concept of equal educational opportunity but it will also be imperative to put these ideas into practice. The global village in which we find ourselves makes it essential that we focus on areas such as creating a diverse pipeline for future engineers and scientists. If we are to meet the demands of the 21st century, it is necessary that we focus on the academic environment and the education of our young people. A qualitative research approach was used to help extract information regarding student success and/or failure in the College of Engineering at a large Midwestern university. This research integrates principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) and systems design in an effort to identify those factors that hinder or enhance the educational performance and success of underrepresented student populations pursuing higher education in engineering and science.

The implementation of social and environmental responsibility or commonly called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a function of the company in realizing social responsibility towards the environment and related parties in order to create a healthy and prosperous society. The method in this study is the Normative Juridical Approach, namely law is conceptualized as norms, rules, principles or dogmas. Juridical Sociological Approach (Empirical), namely law as a symptom of society as a social institution or patterned behavior, this approach is known as empirical legal research or sociological legal research. Social and environmental responsibility even though it is not mandatory normatively in legislation but from the moral aspect of CSR this is a manifestation of social ethics and concern for a company towards the environment and society.

Abstract:
A brief summary of sociological theories concerning the development of identity states that it emerges through the interactions between individuals and society, implying that the individual is unable to attain an identity in an autonomous manner. An identity is therefore constructed and formed through contact with other individuals, groups and cultures in one’s socio-cultural environment. The concept of symbolic interactionism plays a fundamental role here. Societies establish and form social roles by means of linked expectations. In turn, an individual is introduced to these and is exposed to them throughout their socialisation. They are internalised and emerge as critical elements of identity. Explained another way, there are numerous identities in a society that are already fixed and established. The individual is confronted by those identities and must adapt to them. Individuals are seen as active participants in this process, capable of reflecting on it even constructing it and forming their own identity independently. A tension therefore exists between established social identities and the capacity of individuals to construct their own identities. This is a dynamic process that goes on throughout various life stages and differs according to social milieu. With this is mind; identity may be defined as one’s personal awareness of being a distinctive individual, with a unique life-story and being in constant confrontation with the environment in order to attain a balance between individual claims and the expectations of this environment.1

The present study aimed to understand the meanings of the conceptual environment category, produced by nurses acting in the primary health care. A total of 30 nurses participated in the study. Data were collected through semi-directed interviews. The analysis was performed through the thematic method of the empirical meanings, based on the ecosystemic approach of work. The study showed the meanings of environment in the space limits of the human relations, whether they are produced at work, in the family scope or in the general community, in a transversal system that allows relationships of mutual exchange by the human condition itself in the society. Concluding, the development in the nursing area, in an ecosystemic approach of the human health, demands the construction of management strategies integrated to the environment for the promotion of health. The nursing science can be an ally in the construction of healthy and sustainable environments.

Abstract:
The insufficient development of adaptive strategies often hinders the reduction of stress, worsens the condition of the child and the family. Therefore, it is important to create special conditions for children that contribute to the gradual development of new situations, especially for children with autism spectrum disorders that have adaptation difficulties due to their developmental features. Professionals of the Center for Curative Pedagogy in Moscow build their work based on an environmental approach, which implies the formation of individual conditions for each child, aimed at mastering more and more new situations offered to the child and family by society. The article reveals the concept of the environment as a set of relations of a child with its surrounding reality: object and social. The types of environment are distinguished: comfortable, developing, stressful. The importance of creating a developmental environment for the full disclosure of the potential of the child is emphasized. Characteristics of various environments are given: spatio-temporal, emotional, semantic, which are individually selected for sessions with a child, depending on the tasks assigned to the work. The examples illustrating the work in line with the environmental approach are considered.

Abstract:
The article highlights the problem of the absence of an inclusive environment for people with disabilities as a factor in the declarative nature of inclusive reforms. Actual barriers and problems that prevent people with disabilities from participating actively in society are described. These barriers require an integrated approach to develop practical solution and minimize them. Pedagogical aspect of terms "inclusion" and "inclusive environment" is the most developed (right now). Nevertheless, the main idea of the pedagogical concept of inclusion is the creation of a "school for all" that meets the common European standards and the mission of creating a society for all. So the idea of inclusivity at this point has a broader meaning than simply creating the right environment at school. The key elements of social and pedagogical aspects are recognition of diversity, elimination of inequalities, minimization of barriers and creation of conditions in which any exclusion in all spheres of life is impossible. Psychological aspect of inclusion is to understand psychological well-being as an important element of it. Psychological conditions of an inclusive environment should contribute to the individual's experience of subjective well-being. Based on the etymology of the word, you can describe inclusion as the process of forming a single whole by combining different parts. Having analyzed the social, pedagogical and psychological aspects of defining this concept, we believe that it is only whole environment in which inclusion must be realized. Thus, an inclusive environment is a human environment that provides conditions for inclusion of all persons into the spheres of society through the elimination of any barriers, taking into account the diversity of people. The integrated concept gives the opportunity to scientifically substantiate the design of new projects, programs and creation of inclusive social services.

Abstract:
Purpose This study aims to use pro-social and pro-environment attitudes as indicators of social and environmental sustainability to empirically examine the relationship between the two pillars of sustainability. Design/methodology/approach Self-reported survey responses of undergraduate students of the University of Utah are used for conducting a two-stage quantile regression analysis wherein social support serves as an instrument for identifying pro-social attitude for estimating the relationship between pro-social and pro-environment attitudes. Findings The estimates show that students who receive more social support tend to be more pro-social, and more pro-social students are more pro-environment. Research limitations/implications University students may not necessarily be representative of the broader human society. Studies need to examine this question for different segments of the society. Originality/value These results reiterate that universities can enhance sustainability education by adopting a more holistic approach wherein social and environmental sustainability are co-integrated. Additionally, by strengthening their role as a vital source of social support for students, universities can further enhance the synergistic relationship between pro-social and pro-environment attitudes of university students.

Abstract Introduction: In the era of information society and knowledge economy, learning in non-formal environments gets a highlighted role: it can supplement, replace or raise the knowledge and skills gained in the school system to a higher level (Forray & Juhász, 2008), as the so-called “valid” knowledge significantly changes due to the acceleration of development. With the appearance of information technology means and their booming development, the possibilities of gaining information have widened and, according to the forecasts, the role of learning communities will grow. Purpose: Our starting point is that today, with the involvement of community sites (e.g. Google+, Facebook etc.) there is a new possibility for inspiring learning communities: by utilizing the power of community and the possibilities of network-based learning (Ollé & Lévai, 2013). Methods: We intend to make a synthesis based on former research and literature focusing on the learning-centered approach, online learning environment, learning communities and study circles (Noesgaard & Ørngreen, 2015; Biggs & Tang, 2007; Kindström, 2010) Conclusions: The online learning environment can be well utilized for community learning. In the online learning environment, the process of learning is built on activity-oriented work for which active participation, and an intensive, initiative communication are necessary and cooperative and collaborative learning get an important role.

Abstract:
The article deals with the definitions of the concepts of “social environment”, “socio-cultural approach”, their historical genesis in the theoretical studies of domestic and foreign researchers. The concepts of “culture” and “environment” and their role in the development of society are studied. The environment is one of the priority factors of personal development and the person through his actions and deeds affects the environment, forming it for himself. The specificity of the sociocultural approach is seen in the integration of the three dimensions of human existence (the type of relationship between man and society, the nature of culture, the type of sociality) as the fundamental and most important components of human communities. One of the main objectives of the socio-cultural approach is to try to explain mental processes and their interrelationships in historical, institutional and cultural contexts. Studies of the dynamics of socio-cultural rhythms, causes and factors of socio-cultural changes and their impact on the formation of “social man” are considered. Studied the genesis of the development of the socio-cultural approach in Russia (A.S. Akhiezer, T.I. Zaslavskaya, G.V. Osipov, N.I. Lapin, F.I. Minushev, V.N. Kuznetsov, A.I. Rakitov). The sociological approach in understanding the sociocultural environment, which is aimed at studying the patterns of interaction between the individual, society and culture, structure and structural functioning of culture in the dynamics of social structure, development of social institutions and ongoing socio-cultural changes, is defined. Based on the study of the concept of “socio-cultural approach” and the methodology of its implementation in the system of humanitarian knowledge, a number of concepts of the social environment, the main difference of which is the anthropocentric and ecocentric understanding of social phenomena and processes.

AbstractThe potential exposure to organisms and humans of pharmaceutical waste presents society with a wicked problem. The health benefits of pharmaceuticals are obvious, but the public awakening to the risks posed by pharmaceutical residues in the environment is in its early stages. Regulators in the US and the EU require an environmental risk assessment of a medicinal product before it can enter the market. This article compares the US and EU approach to assessing these risks, with the purpose of providing a different perspective on how to approach this delicate balancing act of risk and benefit and to reveal the different values underpinning the risk assessment.

Abstract:
The objectives of this study are to describe the practice of Science Education (IPA) learning at Islamic Elementary School (MI) and to develop the model based on Science Technology and Society (STS/STM) for building certain scientific attitudes. The qualitative approach was employed by searching data on the implementation of IPA learning through direct observation. The data are then analyzed descriptively. The results show that: 1) Science Education learning model based on Science Technology and Society gives students opportunity to conduct IPA process correctly and apply mutual relationship between IPA concept, technological progress, and life in society through five stages: invitation, exploration, explanation, consolidation of concepts or follow-up, and assessment; 2) Science Education learning model based on Science Technology and Society can build a scientific attitude and behavior of students to be sensitive, have a curiosity attitude, attitudes of proof, flexible attitude, critical attitude, caring attitude towards living creatures and environment, objective, honest, open, and cooperative. To strengthen and solidify the building process of this scientific attitude, it is conducted with a variety of relevant madrasa (school) activities through the habituation of activities beyond programmed science learning which include: building clean living habits in the madrasa environment; building park; performing reforestation; and fostering environmental sensitivity through community service programs in the village environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Nigerian literature takes "matter" from the realities of Nigerian living conditions and value systems in the past and present. In the Nigerian society the writer, be it a novelist, dramatist or poet is a sensitive "questioner" and reformer; as all literature in a way is criticism of the human condition obtainable in the society it mirrors. The writer often cannot help exposing the bad and the ugly in man and society. Thus much of Nigerian literature is a deploration of the harsh and inhuman condition in which the majority of Nigerians live in i.e. poverty, misery, political oppression, economic exploitation, excesses of the affluent, liquidation of humane Nigerian traditional values, and all forms of injustices which seem to be the lot of a large majority in most Nigerian societies.In drama, novel, poetry or short - story, the writer's dialogue with his physical and human environment comes out as a mirror in which his people and society can see what they look like. Every image painted by a skillful artist is expressed or put into writing / print, becomes public property and leaves itself open for evaluation by those who read and understand the language and expression. There is therefore a need to identify the thematic preoccupation of Nigeria literature which is the focus of this paper with a view to identifying their peculiarities with textual references.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study and comparative analysis of value priorities of Russian and Mongolian students in conditions of transitability. Conducted on the basis of cross-cultural approach the research allowed to reveal common goals, motivation and values of students of the Russian Federation (on the example of Transbaikalia) and Mongolia that reflects unity of human community. The study involved 187 students (including 87 Mongolian and 100 Russian students) studying in different courses of higher education institutions. The average age of the subjects is 20.5 years. To diagnose the specificity of values and meaningful orientations of Mongolian and Russian students, the test of meaningful orientations and "Values Questionnaire" by Schwartz were used. The analysis of results of descriptive statistics allowed to find out similarity in hierarchy of value orientations of the Russian and Mongolian students. Despite the transitory nature of society, most students believe that they are able to build their lives in accordance with their goals and ideas about its meaning. The values of achieving personal success, security and stability of the society, and independence are recognized as priorities. Similarity in value hierarchies among Russian and Mongolian students is observed in the meaning of values "national security", "world peace", "family security", "meaning of life". At the same time, distinctions in value hierarchies are revealed: the first place in importance among Russian students is occupied by values "social order", and among Mongolian students — "social justice". The similarity of meaningful orientations and value priorities is explained by the peculiarities of economic development of border regions of Russia and Mongolia. In addition, the globalizing world has resulted in the complex interaction of civilizations, mutual exchange and integration of values.

Abstract:
Abstract Sustainability of WASH interventions remains a challenge despite progress and evolution in thinking in the sector. Traditional approaches based on a community engagement model have failed to connect communities to the broader enabling environment necessary for ongoing WASH services. The Australian Government's AUD103 million Civil Society WASH Fund (2013–2018) mobilised civil society organisations (CSO) to engage with the WASH enabling environment by supporting the performance of WASH sector ‘change agents’ — people with primary responsibility for WASH service delivery. This approach represented an overt shift away from previous phases that saw CSOs directly delivering infrastructure and services into communities. This paper presents three tools – Strategy Mapping, Context Mapping and the Change Agent Assessment Tool – developed by the Fund's M&E Panel to test the Fund's Theory of Change (ToC) that greater engagement with the enabling environment would enhance the sustainability of WASH services. These tools were primarily developed to facilitate structured reflection by project teams about the relevance and effectiveness of their approaches, but ultimately provided valuable datasets that appear to authenticate the Fund ToC – suggesting that investing in the enabling environment for WASH services is a more sustainable policy proposition than investing directly in community WASH infrastructure and services.

Abstract:
The burden of obesity contributes to increasing health inequality, and placing healthcare systems under huge strain. The modern society could broadly be described to support unhealthful eating patterns and sedentary behaviour; also described as obesogenic. Obesity prevention and treatment has focused on educational and behavioural interventions, with limited overall success. A sustainable approach is to address the environments that promote less healthy eating and high energy intake as well as sedentary behaviour. Approaches which modify the environment have the potential to assist in the prevention of this complex condition. The present paper focuses on food environments within the context of obesogenic environments. Takeaway and fast food, a fixture of our diet, is usually nutrient poor and energy dense. A ‘concentration effect’ has been observed, where there is a clustering of fast food and takeaway outlets in more deprived areas. Access to food and intake are associated; however, there are methodological challenges in associating the effect of the food environment on obesity. While there is an imperfect evidence base relating to the role of the food environment in terms of the obesity crisis; policy, practice, civic society and industry must work together and take action now, where current evidence suggests a change. Shaping the environment to better support healthful eating decisions has the potential to be a key aspect of a successful obesity prevention intervention.

Abstract:
In setting the institutional vision for University for Business and Technology in 2001, founder Dr. Edmond Hajrizi sought to educate Kosovo students to become active contributors to the society and in the workplace, within the country, the Balkans region, and beyond. The UBT Knowledge Center initiative extends the founding vision of national development through higher education. Since local knowledge, identity, and learning are necessarily situated, Kosovar students, faculty, staff, and administrators serve as topical experts and international educators from Sweden and the United States serve as design facilitators. Participatory design commenced in April 2017 when international faculty from Sweden and the United States co-taught a graduate level course, Information Systems Analysis, Design, and Modelling, at the Pristina campus. Working with UBT administrators, directors, managers, and librarians, students worked in teams to co-design three essential parts of a holistic Knowledge Center ecosystem: a digital environment to advance local knowledge visibility, an organizational environment to enhance boundary crossing collaboration, and a digital academic library environment to enable discovery of and access to published academic scholarship. Following these ‘learn by doing’ instructional activities, exploratory knowledge management discussions produced a Knowledge Center concept paper in July 2017, with funding from the Fulbright Specialist Program. The white paper recognizes the social context of learning – that knowledge is acquired and understood through action, interaction, and sharing with others. It thereby anticipates the social relationships necessary for information exchange and knowledge creation, oftentimes enabled by technology, for knowledge incubation in the university and beyond. This collaborative design approach anticipates continuing to convene multidisciplinary conversations and to integrate interdisciplinary coursework into realization of the University’s founding knowledge vision which recognizes the critical importance of developing new and more complex ways for connecting people, information, and technology in the university and with the society. In response, the UBT Knowledge Center aims to foster knowledge creation which curates and preserves intellectual, cultural, national, and regional resources for future generations.

Abstract:
The paper deals with transforming social systems and their reflection in the concepts and models of the corresponding processes. A new approach to modelling and research of large social systems was proposed. The author emphasis's and describes qualitatively some aspects of the approach that are important for considering the transformation of society. The main feature of such systems is the following properties. Firstly, these systems operate in a small number of reasonably stable states. (In our approach, this is interpreted as so-called associative memory). Secondly, the evolution of such systems (actually, history for long periods) has an analogue in the learning process in models, when connections are established between the system elements. Furthermore, thirdly, the proposed approach was able to consider individuals’ internal properties (mentality) – participants in large social systems. New models of socio-economic systems are described, and an interpretation of their behaviour as trajectories on certain surfaces in the space of variables is given. The ways of transforming systems are explained: revolutionary, evolutionary and with a unique trajectory of transition. The classes are considered, into which the internal (mental) variables of individuals are divided. The internal representations of the individual from some slice of reality (in psychology, for example, this is called “internal plans”) are represented as a network of objects, concepts and the like, depending on the “object” and purpose of modelling. There are three networks (patterns, drawings) of descriptions: the actual state of affairs, presented in the form of a network; the state of things in the imagination of a particular individual and the desired (ideal) state of affairs in the imagination of a particular individual. The dynamics of changes in the parameters that characterize the individual depends on the state of the environment “externally” and on the “internal” mental variables and the above three ideas about the external environment. Adequate consideration of the external environment by representing and internal representations of surrounding individuals is possible. Such an approach is proposed when considering archetypes in the transformation of the social system. The problem of sustainable development of education and science systems is considered.

This paper critically examines the influence of the structural elements of human behavior that are often neglected in social work literature (Robbins et al., 1998). It incorporates a new multi-theoretical framework that critically examines the significance of a network approach in analyzing social, ideological, and economic structures and their influence on individual actors. This paper discusses two interrelated theories: social network theory and social capital theory, and critiques their relevance in explaining human behavior for social work educators and professionals in an increasingly information-driven and electronically-interconnected global society. The author hopes that an expanded theory base will provide a holistic view of individual problems stemming out of inequitable social structure.
