Development efforts in several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are harmed by a combination of many factors, high rates of population growth being among of them. Despite the strong links between population and sustainable development, these issues were not a priority in broader development policies and strategies in SSA. Population and sustainable development had been often addressed separately at policy and programme levels. Despite the fact that decision makers in these countries recognize the importance of population issues for sustainable development, these issues are rarely worked on together, limiting the payoff that could result from integrating the two. This chapter, therefore, re-examines and relates these two concepts to see their compatibility and provides a more realistic approach in converting population growth into economic gains for future development of SSA countries and Africa in general.

Abstract Background Substitute decision-makers (SDMs) make decisions on behalf of patients who do not have capacity, in line with previously expressed wishes, values and beliefs. However, miscommunications and poor awareness of previous wishes often lead to inappropriate care. Increasing public preparedness to communicate on behalf of loved ones may improve care in patients requiring an SDM. Methods We conducted an online survey in January 2019 with a representative sample of the Canadian population. The primary outcome was self-reported preparedness to be an SDM. The secondary outcome was support for a high school curriculum on the role of SDMs. The effect of socio-demographics, known enablers and barriers to acting as an SDM, and attitudes towards a high school curriculum were assessed using multivariate analysis. Results Of 1,000 participants, 53.1% felt prepared to be an SDM, and 75.4% stated they understood their loved one’s values. However, only 55.6% reported having had a meaningful conversation with their loved one about values and wishes, and only 61.7% reported understanding the SDM role. Engagement in advance care planning for oneself was low (23.1%). Age, experience, training and comfort with communication were associated with preparedness in our multivariate analysis. A high school curriculum was supported by 61.1% of respondents, with 28.3% neutral and 10.6% against it. Interpretation There is a gap between perceived and actual preparedness to be an SDM. Many report understanding their loved one’s values yet have not asked them about wishes in illness or end of life. The majority of respondents support high school education to improve preparedness.

Abstract Surprising the opponent in the main areas of strategic confrontation - information, political, economic, technological, ideological, psychological, espionage/counter-intelligence, military - was a priority objective of the general policy of the states, regardless of the analyzed historical age. In this framework, the most active and effective component of taking by surprise - misinformation- has always been in the attention of decision-makers in order to determine a distorted perception of reality, diminishing alertness and reducing the ability of an opponent to act or react [1]

This study aims to examine the management of the Principal towards the school's income and expenditure budget (APBS) at Public High School or SMAN 10 East Tanjung Jabung, Jambi. The research was motivated by 1) APBS planning carried out by the Principal was only formulated by school managerial decision makers, was not discussed openly with all existing human resources, 2) there was still limited training by the Principal regarding the preparation of the APBS, 3) Principals had difficulty adjusting the APBS plan with needs, and 4) the assessment of the implementation of the APBS is not effective. This research uses qualitative methods that are based on the philosophy of postpositivism. Data is obtained through participation observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research,  it is known that the sources and budget allocations are still limited. there are still problems with the process, namely: a) Still difficult for budget users to specify budget requirements, b) The ability of administrative personnel to manage BOS is limited, c) school budget allocation as a source of school development is still not in accordance with the real needs of schools and d) Limitations of school principals carry out continuous monitoring. Planning activities are still not detailed, the implementation has been carried out in accordance with the planning, and the APBS evaluation has been carried out effectively.

In article the technique allowing high school students to form a priority of the internal moral principles and a tendency to the positive moral choice is described. Sharp discrepancy of unique individual characteristics of Russians (for example, “emigration from Russia is the most successful for all history of the United States, and the gap with other diasporas is huge”) with the level of a such capacious indicator as the median salary is explained by a little simplifying “rules of the game” followed by society corresponding to “the golden rule of morality”. The authors, who claim that sharp “falling of morals” happened during the last decades, in other works recognize that in days of “the Soviet power” “the double morals”, which are closer to “lack of morals” than to its “originality”, prevailed. Prominent scientists explain small efficiency of huge volume of educational actions in decades of “the Soviet power” with a priority of “pro-social altruism” though the position of “reasonable egoism”, or pragmatism, is more realistic. Progress in “awareness of usefulness and advantage of respect for ethical standards for successful activity, especially in the long term perspective” was made on the basis of complex use of practices of the leading Russian psychologists and teachers: the principle of unity of training and up-bringing, effectiveness of influence of big and small social groups (an analogue of a small group was the pedagogical team), a priority of the training technologies directed to updating of spiritual and moral qualities of the person. Introduction of the technique into “mass” school will demand not only careful development and optimization of methodical recommendations for teachers of each subject. To interest the teacher in this case often is a much more labor-consuming task, than the subsequent interest of students’.
