This community service is carried out to encourage the community to be creative and independent with entrepreneurs. Activities can be carried out by partnering, building partnerships will make it easier and more excited. The community of South Meruya village has partnered with PKK and RPTRA Menara, also to help one of the DKI Jakarta government programs. Residents have carried out production activities, if there is a desire or order, for that the scale of production and marketing needs to be increased. These community activities can be expanded to reach products and services that begin with environmental problems that require involvement in conservation as well as having economic potential. It is expected that the community understands the importance of environmental sustainability as an economic resource that can be a source of income for the community. SMEs need to expand business alternatives while simultaneously becoming agents of pollution prevention and improving the quality of life together through a clean environment. The real pressure of pollution and environmental awareness issues has opened up new products that can be marketed. SME business people consider environmental aspects because their awareness of environmentally conscious consumers has increased. After the training and assistance of the SMEs South Meruya  community together with PKK will better understood the potential and strategies of a sustainable environment-based business.

Global trends in economic development definitively reflect priorities of the sustainable development. Over recent decades the global economy has enjoyed a successfully functioning mechanism for balancing economic and resource and environmental priorities based on the concept of the Best Available Techniques (BAT). The research aims to formulate the industrial policy on modernising resource-intensive industries with regard to the BAT principles and involvement of the secondary resources in economic cycles. The author suggests taking these technologies as standards based on which regulators develop obligatory requirements for industry, determine directions and target indicators of reforms. This will allow motivating enterprises to innovate, launch and implement programmes for production modernisation. Methodologically, the research relies on the theories of economic growth, system efficiency, non-cooperative games, technological waves, resource management, and the concept of sustainable development. The author employs analysis and synthesis methods to ensure a systematic and complex approach to framing the industrial policy on increasing resource efficiency. The researcher elaborates on the content of the environmental industrial policy of the Russian Federation (EIP) according to which it is a horizontal tool of industrial policy meant to maintain the improvement of resource efficiency both at microeconomic and macroeconomic levels by introducing BAT and bringing secondary resources into economic cycles. Instead of supporting an unlimited use of natural resources, the state centres its attention on the implementation of new technologies and solutions that maintain the recycling of the secondary resources. Such industrial policy is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It promotes economic development, industrialisation and innovations, favours transition to responsible models of production and consumption and reduction of the negative impact on the environment. To evaluate the effectiveness of the environmental industrial policy, the researcher suggests considering resource efficiency as a parameter measured in the natural units (consumption of non-renewable resources). In addition, the paper presents the results of the case study demonstrating practical implementation of the EIP tools for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The aim, objectives and main directions of the information and methodological support for environmental and technological modernisation of Russian economy and its transfer to Best Available Techniques in key economic sectors have been analysed in the article. It has been indicated, that the environmental and technological modernisation corresponds with the national goals and strategic development objectives of the Russian Federation, namely: establishing highly-productive, export oriented, resource efficient industry on the basis of modern technologies.The new direction of development of industrial policy of Russia – environmental industrial policy has been considered. The experience in developing and applying information and methodological support instruments, including information workshops, role games and professional qualification enhancement programmes has been described. The role of expert society on Best Available Techniques in the implementation of the environmental industrial policy has been analysed. It has been emphasised, that objectives of informing a wide range of interested parties, improving professional qualifications, forming the expert society on Best Available Techniques, considering development of norms and standards, assessing modernisation costs and establishing the rationale for setting new technological parameters, their resource efficiency and environmental performance, – all these issues should be regarded as inter-related net of cross-linked solutions. It has been demonstrated, that research projects implemented within the framework of the information and methodological support for the modernisation of the economy, provide for obtaining and systematising information needed to set environmental and economic rationale for new requirements to the resource efficiency and environmental performance of key production processes. Practical approaches have been determined for enhancing public discussion and information dissemination tools, professional qualification improvement programmes, approaches to the discussion of draft norms in the field of Best Available Techniques and resource efficiency for economic entities with regulators and regulated community, as well as other stakeholders, at the national and regional levels.

Background: Suicide among children under the age of 15 years is a leading cause of death. Aims: The aim of the current study is to identify demographic, psychosocial, and psychiatric factors associated with child suicides. Method: Using external causes of deaths recorded in the Queensland Child Death Register, a case-control study design was applied. Cases were suicides of children (10–14 years) and adolescents (15–17 years); controls were other external causes of death in the same age band. Results: Between 2004 and 2012, 149 suicides were recorded: 34 of children aged 10–14 years and 115 of adolescents aged 15–17 years. The gender asymmetry was less evident in child suicides and suicides were significantly more prevalent in indigenous children. Children residing in remote areas were significantly more likely to die by suicide than other external causes compared with children in metropolitan areas. Types of precipitating events differed between children and adolescents, with children more likely to experience family problems. Disorders usually diagnosed during infancy, childhood, and adolescence (e.g., ADHD) were significantly more common among children compared with adolescents who died by suicide. Conclusion: Psychosocial and environmental aspects of children, in addition to mental health and behavioral difficulties, are important in the understanding of suicide in this age group and in the development of targeted suicide prevention.
