In Poland and the world, cancer is a serious health problem. There are the second cause of death in total and the first cause of death before the age of 65 in Poland. The paper presents some research results concerning the understanding of the level of knowledge of adolescents about lung cancer. An attempt was made to answer the question: Do young people have basic knowledge about lung cancer? The following hypotheses were made: Students believe that they influ-ence whether they will develop lung cancer. Adolescents have a basic knowledge of lung cancer. The obtained results allowed for the formulation of conclusions. The main goal of the work is to find out about the level of knowledge of young people about lung cancer.To improve the situation of lung cancer in society, numerous social organizations and associations take part in social campaigns dedicated to all citizens, regardless of age and sex. Some postulates, the introduction of which could increase the health security of the state and eliminate some environmental threats, such as passive smoking, will be presented below. These postulates have the overarching goal of changing the model of lung cancer prevention and care in Poland. The changes should be comprehensive - from prevention (primary and secondary), through diagnostics and treatment, post-treatment care (including rehabilitation and psycho-oncological care), to observation aimed at detecting and treating complications of the disease and anti-cancer therapy as well as early detection of possible recurrence of the disease. Given that smoking is becoming a bad habit of the younger age group than the study, it would be worthwhile to expand the age range and conduct such research among children, for example, from the age of 7 years. At this age, children are more receptive to and aware of health hazards.

This research is aimed to figure out the phenomenon of language variation that is used among teenagers in Batam. The language variations which are created by teenagers contrast to the standard language formula. The aplication of that language can massively affect the standard language used in every formal situation. Knowing the basic knowledge about the variation, how are the process of constructing the non-standard language and the aspect of language can help the teenagers to avoid the devastating of standard language. The result of the research showed that in daily conversation among teenagers in Batam, the teenagers mostly used the non-standard language in their interaction involving the slang and colloquial languages. The use of these languages were frequently mixed by other languages, such as English language and regional language that teenagers imitated from Jakarta. Moreover, teenagers mostly used the slang and colloquial languages in the informal situation.Keywords: Language variation, slang, colloquial.

Most research indicates that there is an early beginning of sexual relations among young people, a fact that makes them susceptible to risky practices as it is demonstrated by the growing percentage of unwanted pregnancies and the rate of IVES among youngsters under 18 years old. Information and education on sexual health are of relevant importance for the prevention of a risky sexual behavior among young people. In previous studies it has been demonstrated that there is a significant lack of knowledge regarding contraceptive methods too. The current work aims at learning about the sexual behaviors of young people as well as about the basic knowledge they should have about contraceptive methods so as to elaborate efficient intervention and prevention programs. The participants were between 17 and 23 years old. Their first sexual relations were at 16.5 years old, as an average, a figure that is coincident with that of other studies. 85% of the college students being surveyed had had complete sexual relations. Among them, a significant percentage had a risky sexual behavior. Regarding the knowledge they have of contraceptive methods, there is no significant difference between genders. There is lack of knowledge of essential aspects of this area.

<p>Numerous studies and survey results indicate that the majority of the population is aware of climate change and displays worries about it, but only a few people show willingness to change their behavior accordingly and to act more climate-friendly. The discrepancy between knowledge and action (value - action gap) is seen as an obstacle to successful adaptation to climate change, and is particularly pronounced in the young population group. In addition to the lack of a sound basic knowledge, young people above all lack the believe in their own possibilities and the conviction that their actions are enough to achieve something (“bigger than self-dilemma”). </p><p>We initiated a research – education – cooperation project to reach out for school students and tried to motivate them to engage intensively with climate change and to increase their climate-friendly behavior. Modern teaching and learning formats were used in order to contrast to the typical “learning” at school and foster voluntary engagement, to transfer positive messages and solutions, and to emphasize the self - efficacy of their actions. The aim of the project was to examine, whether an active engagement over a prolonged time period with topics around climate change can achieve a greater effect on the understanding of complex relationships and raise climate-friendly behavior more effectively than a short, passive learning phase. With the help of an online questionnaire all involved students answered climate-relevant questions of the categories “behavior, perception and knowledge” before and after the activities.</p><p>The questionnaire results revealed that a general knowledge about climate change and climate awareness exist among the students surveyed, even before the project activities. More than 90% believe that every single person can contribute significantly to tackle climate change. However, students had problems with understanding complex relationships and long-term interactions of the consequences of climate change on people and ecosystems. For example, it was difficult for students to correctly estimate virtual water consumption and to see the potential social consequences of climate change.</p><p>We believe that modern educational concepts on climate change should foster system understanding and seize on the young people’s positive attitude towards climate protection by pointing out concrete, climate-friendly ways of behavior. In this way it is possible to strengthen the young people’s believe in their actions (self-efficacy) and to reduce the gap between attitude and action.</p>

The chapter starts by outlining what is already known about the ecology of adolescent development and culture and how it relates to the development of anxiety disorders in individuals. Identifying which young people are most at risk to develop anxiety disorders after experiencing negative life events, the chapter argues, is an important next step toward developing selective treatment and prevention intervention programs. The chapter then goes on to explain what is not currently known about what factors are linked specifically to anxiety disorders, as opposed to what might cause a general likelihood of development of a disorder. It is critical, therefore, that more research be conducted on obtaining basic knowledge about specific risk and protective factors of pathological anxiety in adolescents. This research must carefully consider the context of adolescent development and culture in trying to discern the particular factors and the manner in which these factors interact.

Background and context: Nigeria has been rated the 1st nation in Africa and 5th in the world with highest cervical cancer deaths with >26 women dying daily. Breast cancer incidence is higher with 90 new cases per 100,000 women annually in some western countries, compared with 30 per 100,000 in some African countries. In contrast, breast cancer deaths are almost identical, at about 15 per 100,000, which clearly points that late diagnosis and much poorer survival in Africa. Late diagnosis of cancer is possibly encouraged due to low awareness and sporadic screenings across Nigeria. To mitigate this system-wide gap, huge resources are required from the government, corporate organizations and nonprofits engaged in cancer awareness and programs. For a nonprofit with limited resources, volunteers became the most significant resource to create the needed policy change, public awareness and fundraising for cancer patients. In 2013, Project PINK BLUE started as a personal community development service of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) in Nigeria with as little as 5 volunteers whom organized the first community awareness program that mobilized 168 women in Kabusa community in Abuja. By 2018, Project PINK BLUE has 501 volunteers across Nigeria and Cameroon. With impact awareness events engaging thousands of people and raising supports for cancer patients while advocating for policy change. Aim: To share how the use volunteers has propelled the nonprofit organization to reach millions in <5 years while spending less on human resource compared with her impact. Strategy/Tactics: Project PINK BLUE designed a volunteer program that provides young people the platform to learn, network, grow and cultivate opportunities for themselves. The organization engage volunteers base on projects and activities all year round. Program/Policy process: The program's policy for volunteers is strictly on nonpayment; several young people have used the volunteer program to gain employment opportunities, meet amazing friends, achieve their dream and most importantly touch lives. Outcomes: Our statistics showed that we have 277 volunteers with Bachelors of Science, 63 with Masters degree, 20 in high school, 14 with higher national diploma, 13 with OND and 114 others. 40% of the volunteers have basic knowledge of cancer, 45.7% intermediate and 14.3% advanced knowledge. 87% of the volunteers responded to be available for cancer awareness activities, 10.9% were undecided and <2% responded no. What was learned: Qualitative responses showed that the volunteers needed to be more engaged in series of cancer activities.

The article reveals the problem of social support for children and young people with special educational needs. The necessity of application of horticultural therapy as a special direction of psychosocial, labor and pedagogical rehabilitation of children and young people with special educational needs by involving them in work with plants is substantiated. It is proved that the use of horticultural therapy makes it possible to effectively implement the process of rehabilitation and adaptation of children and teenagers with special educational needs, to provide social assistance to the family raising such children, to reveal additional possibilities of the child’s personality through his interaction with the plant world, to enrich child’s social and adaptive experience, to develop the emotional and volitional sphere. The technology is based on the child's interaction with nature as a process of constant empathy and complicity.Working with plants, a child feels this tiny part of the beautiful nature. By taking care of flowers, children overcome their isolation, insecurity and simply enjoy life. This very moment is very important in rehabilitation.The foreign experience of using horticultural therapy is analyzed. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of foreign and domestic works horticultural therapy is justified as an effective technology in working with children and young people with special educational needs.The main indicators of the effectiveness of the technology are: improvement of somatic and psychoneurological health; increasing level of cognitive activity, formation and development of communication skills; improvement of motor skills; formation of basic knowledge and skills of caring for indoor and garden plants in children; increasing level of parental competence in building effective interaction with the child.Using horticultural therapy technology in the process of working with children and youth with special educational needs provides correction and development of fine motor skills, cognitive, emotional-volitional and personal spheres; promotes the social status of children with special educational needs by including them in socially useful activities; promotes the all-round harmonious development of children and youth, stabilizes their psychological state, further helps them to realize themselves in society.

The phenomenon of intermarriage and assimilation into Thai society has contributed to diminishing Hakka language use. However, some elderly Hakka speakers have acknowledged this situation and are trying to preserve the Hakka language and culture as much as possible. Two research projects of Hakka language preservation and revitalization were conducted using Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach by the participants and researchers. The results were that in the first project, the adult generation had the ability to teach the traditional Hakka food style, but there were no Hakka children to learn from them. Several factors, such as fast food, climate change, and young people going to study outside the community, had an effect on language revitalization and preservation. Results from the second project showed that volunteer participants, Hakka association networks and internet communication are positive factors for language revitalization. Young people had opportunities to hear and speak Hakka with the elderly in the events if these were mainly organized occasions. Some participants collected data from Hakka speakers while others wrote articles related to their family history which they wanted to record and transfer to the next generation. As their knowledge of Hakka was limited, they wrote in the Thai language instead. From observation, most Hakka speakers know words from their language, but they cannot use them in full sentences. If someone could communicate in Hakka, they used mixed language with Thai.
