This study  focuses on analysing the students’motivation for studying Indonesian as a foreign language at Go Bali, a one-semester international study program  at the University of Udayana,  particularly investigating the students’motivation during the course and analyse how the environment influences their learning motivation. This study involved 76 foreign students and 4 instructors in four Indonesian Language classrooms at the program and the data were collected through survey techniques, classroom observations and interviews. The results show that the students’ motivation in learning Bahasa Indonesia is varied and in general is relatively low. However, the environment where they study the language has actually given an advantages for most students in which they become more motivated to pick up the knowledge of the language for their daily lives in Bali, apart from whether it will give further benefits for their future or not.

Students, who are leaving their home country for taking part in an international study program, face several challenges. Not only the new course of studies can be very challenging but also their whole living conditions may change significantly. This can be a severe clash especially for students who are moving to a country with a totally different cultural background in comparison to their home countries. Moreover, it can profoundly complicate the first weeks at the new university. Knowing about the difficulties the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction (IUL) at TU Dortmund University in Germany developed a preparational online course for those international students, who are coming to the IUL for their Master of Science program in Manufacturing Technology (MMT; a special international master program). In context of this course the use of the IUL’s remote laboratory equipment was a key aspect. The course itself was implemented and delivered for the first time in 2014. By now a second updated edition was delivered in 2015. It was designed to prepare the students as best as possible for their new studies at a German university and at the same time prepare them for transnational collaboration. Hence, this course is a good example for a meaningful integration of remote laboratories into an innovative online course concept. On the one hand making use of remote laboratories and its practical integration in online courses helps to connect the international students and on the other hand it brings them into the situation to interact in context of a typical engineering situation, the experiment. The paper presents the course itself and experiences from its first and second implementation.

Abstract Internships are increasingly important for the business higher education as they help students to make the connection between their academic studies and the world of business. This study analyzes the internships of students within an international study program (German line of study) in order to determine what factors account for the most valuable internship experience. Based on the elements of the experiential education approach, the results reveal some characteristics that contribute to a higher level of perceived internship effectiveness in accordance with the employment status and gender. These results provide a basis for designing successful internship programs in business universities.

The article presents the general description of the epidemiological study program in the Kemerovo region in accordance with the protocol, methodical approaches to sampling, characteristics of the questionnaires for collecting the detailed information, as well as instrumental and laboratory research methods. The study program in the Kemerovo region is based on the unifed principles of an international study, which provides four stages: preparatory stage, screening, assessment of morbidity/mortality (follow-up period), survival status assessment and work with the study database. Prospective observation with assessment of fatal and nonfatal endpoints is performed once in three years, starting from the next year after the completion of the frst stage of the study. The phase of participants’ involvement includes performing of the doorto-door visits – more than 6000 households, among which there were 5660 urban and 460 rural households. The study is planned to involve 1600 participants. The participants will be fully examined according to the protocol: ECG (interpretation by Minnesota code), spirometry, anthropometry, dynamometry, bioimpedansometry, measuring of arterial blood pressure and heart rate; blood test – total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, plasma glucose; uranalysis – creatinine, sodium, potassium. Data collection will be performed at three levels (community, household and individual). These levels include 4 social determinants (artifcial environment, diet, tobacco use, socioeconomic/psychosocial determinants). The obtained information will be entered into the database with its subsequent statistical processing. It is planned to perform follow-up examinations of the participants within three years in order to record the clinical events. Additional data on diet, physical activity, blood tests and ECG will be collected in all the participants. The newly received data will be entered into the database and statistically processed. Within the study, for the frst time the mutual influence of social, family, individual and genetic determinants of non-communicable diseases will be studied depending on the residence place, which will allow to estimate the effcacy of state and regional healthcare policy, to develop and implement into the medical practice new individual and population prevention programs which contribute to the implementation of the program for mortality reduction from cardiovascular diseases, improvement of the quality of life and prognosis.

ABSTRACTAn international study course program in Materials Science and Engineering based on innovative concepts in engineering education has been introduced by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Kiel for students from Germany and especially from abroad. The study program offers advanced materials science education culminating in the internationally recognized degree “Master of Materials Science and Engineering”. It aims at providing students with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of a global job market and the demands of industry and research institutions in modern industrial societies. Some of the main characteristics of the program for which tuition fees are not required comprise theoretical teaching and lab training modules held in English language, internet teaching modules, a broad choice of courses including courses in nontechnical skills, a Master thesis in areas of functional or structural materials, collaboration with research institutes, as well as participation in the European credit point transfer system for international acceptance of the course work. The program has started successfully in 1999 with students coming mainly from the Eastern European countries.
