The need for developing a reliability theory arose as a result of errors and failures in the operation of technical systems which have been caused by a “human factor” in over 50% of cases. Non-compliance of the subject’s professional qualities and competencies with the performance standards and norms triggered identifying the problem of the formation and maintenance of professional reliability. As a result, the issue of identifying mechanisms to ensure professional reliability is considered, and it is caused by the need to maintain the effectiveness of the subject’s professional activity and working capacity at the proper level. Professional reliability is defined as an important integrative quality that is focused on maintaining the unmistakable performance of professional actions for a certain time in the conditions of regular and emergency situations. Self-regulation is considered as one of the main components of the subject’s professional reliability which affects the level of professional reliability. It was revealed that demonstrating all indicators of professional reliability directly depends on the reliability of self-regulation. The previous studies on the relationship of conscious self-regulation and professional reliability were analyzed. As part of the study on the professional reliability of forestry workers, a program was implemented to develop special regulatory mechanisms, which in turn increased the success of professional activities. The impact mechanisms of selfregulation reliability on professional reliability were identified based on the example of visa centers’ managers who have been experiencing excessively prolonged stress and the new professional requirements. Also, by researching the professional reliability of power structures specialists, the importance of developing an individual style of self-regulation was described and proved, which overcomes situational psychological “barriers” in the process of professional activity.

The aim of this research is identifying differences in the development of learning skills of students of engineering and humanitarian orientation in the process of their training at the University. Learning skills, as the ability to carry out the process of acquiring subject knowledge in various fields, are recognized by world experts. The importance of learning skills has increased especially at the present time, due to the need for self-development of competence in the process of professional activity after graduation. In the course of the study, the main and supplementary learning skills, as well as the ability to self-regulate training activities and academic performance of students of technical and humanitarian orientation, who are at different stages of training, were diagnosed. The results of this study show that the learning skills of students in both directions develop sideways in the process of subject learning, but this process has different results and character in relation to their development. Thus, engineering students have a higher level of learning skills and self-regulation by the end of their studies, while humanities students have a higher level of exposure to supplementary learning. Basic learning skills are developed better among engineering students with higher abilities to self-regulate learning activities, while for psychology students, this relationship is not found. In addition, the academic performance of engineering students increases with a high level of development of knowledge-building abilities, control of additional learning skills and self-regulation of educational activities. Academic performance of students in the Humanities increases with a high ability to implement independent building of knowledge, a high level of control over the motivational and volitional sphere and learning goals, as well as the ability to evaluate results in the course of educational activities.

Improper practices, poor attitudes and lack of knowledge by food handlers are contributing factors for the spread of foodborne diseases. Food safety knowledge is an important factor in improving food safety practices and subsequently food safety attitude. This study is aimed at exploring the food safety knowledge, practice and attitude of FUNAAB students. A self completed questionnaire was answered by randomly selected 270 students from each of the nine (9) colleges in the university and analyzed using SPSS software. The study revealed that almost all of the students had a high level of food safety awareness but the knowledge was not to large extent translated into practice. Majority of the students also had good food safety attitudes as many of them are willing to change their food handling behav-iour when they know they are incorrect (94.8%). The study further revealed similar level of food safety knowledge between the male and female. Despite the level of students’ knowledge, their choice of eating place on campus was determined by the price of the food. This study therefore concluded that good knowledge of food safety does not determine students’ safe handling practices and choice of eating place.Keywords: Food safety
