other hand, it was found that working condition, including working hours and working at night, had little impact on smoking, drinking alcohol, and drug use. However, the type of job was significantly related to tobacco use (P<0.05) by binary analysis and multiple regression analysis. These findings suggest that employment of young adolescents in urban area of Thailand has an influence on smoking and drinking alcohol. Especially, working status probably affect smoking behavior among young adolescents in the urban area of Thailand.

Alcohol, Narcotics, and Tobacco in Japan

Alcohol is widely used in Japan. About 70% of all alcohol is consumed as beer, with the remainder used in the form of sake (rice wine), shochu, wine, fruit wines and spirits.

While most people who drink alcohol do so in moderation and without doing any damage to their health, a minority of alcohol users does get addicted. It is estimated that there are several million Japanese with a serious alcohol problem. The health damage from excessive alcohol use is largely ignored by Japanese society.

Russia Alcohol, Narcotics, and Tobacco

Russia's rate of alcohol consumption, traditionally among the highest in the world and rising significantly in the 1990s, is a major contributor to the country's health crisis, as well as to low job productivity. Rated as Russia's third most critical health problem after cardiovascular diseases and cancer, alcoholism has reached epidemic proportions, particularly among males. In the twentieth century, periodic government campaigns against alcohol consumption have resulted in thousands of deaths from the consumption of alcohol surrogates. The latest such campaign was undertaken from 1985 to 1988, during the regime of Mikhail S. Gorbachev (in office 1985-91).

Although some authorities credited reduced alcohol consumption with a concurrent drop in Russia's mortality rate, by 1987 the production of samogon (home-brewed liquor) had become a large-scale industry that provided alcohol to Russians while depriving the state of tax revenue. When restrictions were eased in 1988, alcohol consumption exceeded the pre1985 level. According to one study, between 1987 and 1992 annual per capita consumption rose from about eleven liters of pure alcohol to fourteen liters in 1992; current consumption is estimated at about fifteen liters. (According to World Health Organization standards, consumption of eight liters per year is likely to cause major medical problems.)

Why do you poison your life? Say drugs, alcohol and cigarettes do not!

CLIMATE CHANGE IN RUSSIA, CHINA AND AUSTRALIA

Climate change is the result of a great many factors including the dynamic processes of the Earth itself, external forces including variations in sunlight intensity, and more recently by human activities. External factors that can shape climate are often called climate forcing and include such processes as variations in solar radiation, deviations in the Earth's orbit, and the level of greenhouse gas concentrations. There are a variety of climate change feedbacks that will either amplify or diminish the initial forcing1.

The sun is the source of a large percentage of the heat energy input to the climate system. Lesser amounts of energy is provided by the gravitational pull of the Moon (manifested as tidal power), and geothermal energy. The energy output of the sun, which is converted to heat at the Earth's surface, is an integral part of the Earth's climate. Early in Earth's history, according to one theory, the sun was too cold to support liquid water at the Earth's surface, leading to what is known as the Faint young sun paradox. Over the coming millennia, the sun will continue to brighten and produce a correspondingly higher energy output; as it continues through what is known as its "main sequence", and the Earth's atmosphere will be affected accordingly2.

On a timescale often measured in decades or more, climate changes can also result from the interaction between the atmosphere and the oceans. Many climate fluctuations, including the El Niño Southern oscillation, the Pacific decadal oscillation, the North Atlantic oscillation, and the Arctic oscillation, owe their existence at least in part to the different ways that heat may be stored in the oceans and also to the way it moves between various 'reservoirs'. On longer time scales (with a complete cycle often taking up to a thousand years to complete), ocean processes such as thermohaline circulation also play a key role in redistributing heat by carrying out a very slow and extremely deep movement of water, and the long-term redistribution of heat in the oceans3.

The most concern in anthropogenic factors is the increase in CO2 levels due to emissions from fossil fuel combustion, followed by aerosols (particulate matter in the atmosphere) and cement manufacture. Other factors, including land use, ozone depletion, animal agriculture and deforestation, are also of concern in the roles they play - both separately and in conjunction with other factors - in affecting climate4.

Analysis of ice in a core drilled from a permafrost area, such as the Antarctic, can be used to show a link between temperature and global sea level variations. The air trapped in bubbles in the ice can also reveal the CO2 variations of the atmosphere from the distant past, well before modern environmental influences. The study of these ice cores has been a significant indicator of the changes in CO2 over many millennia, and continues to provide valuable information about the differences between ancient and modern atmospheric conditions.

PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF HIV AND REDUCING ITS IMPACT

Nowadays there are a lot of issues in the modern world which have their functions in the each person life. Diseases. This is one of the global problems in the whole the world and is difficult to fight with, it’s important to talk about heavy diseases. There are a lot of different types of diseases and it threat to all human nations. HIVis one of the most dangerous.

In this report it’s significant look into the problem on various continent and countries. India is one of the largest and most populated countries in the world, with over one billion

inhabitants. Of this number, it's estimated that around 2.3 million people are currently living with HIV. People living with HIV in India come from incredibly diverse cultures and backgrounds. The vast majority of infections occur through heterosexual sex, and most of those who become infected would not fall into the category of ‘high-risk groups’ - although members of such groups, including sex workers, men who have sex with men, truck drivers and migrant workers, do face a disproportionately higher risk of infection.

Various groups have made predictions about the effect that AIDS will have on India and the rest of Asia in the future, and there has been a lot of dispute about the accuracy of these estimates. For instance, a 2002 report by the CIA's National Intelligence Council predicted 20 million to 25 million AIDS cases in India by 2010 - more than any other country in the world. Ironically, India is a major provider of cheap generic copies of ARVs to countries all over the world.

UNAIDS estimates that in Nigeria, around 3.1 percent of adults between ages 15-49 are living with HIV and AIDS. Although the HIV prevalence is much lower in Nigeria than in other African countries such as South Africa and Zambia, the size of Nigeria’s population

(around 138 million) meant that by the end of 2007, there were an estimated 2,600,000 people infected with HIV. Some 80% of HIV infections in Nigeria are transmitted through heterosexual sex. Factors contributing to this include a lack of information about sexual health and HIV, low levels of condom use and high levels of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as Chlamydia and gonorrhea, which make it easier for the virus to be transmitted.

Another contributing factor to the spread of HIV in Nigeria is the distinct lack of voluntary and routine HIV testing. In a 2003 survey, just 6 percent of women and 14 percent of men had ever been tested for HIV and received the results. In 2005, only around 1 percent of pregnant women were being tested for HIV. Women are particularly affected by the epidemic in Nigeria. In 2006 UNAIDS estimated that women accounted for 61.5 percent of all adults aged 15 and above living with HIV.

In 2002 the Nigerian government started an ambitious antiretroviral treatment program, which aimed to supply 10,000 adults and 5,000 children with antiretroviral drugs within one year. As a result, in 2006 Nigeria opened up 41 new AIDS treatment centers and started handing out free ARVs to those who needed them. Treatment scale-up between 2006-7 was impressive, rising from 81,000 people (15% of those in need) to 198,000 (26%) by the end of 2007. In 2002, the World Bank loaned US$90.3 million to Nigeria to support the 5-year HIV/AIDS Program Development Project.

With the large amounts of money being donated from international funds and a government dedicated to increasing prevention measures and treatment access, some are feeling slightly more optimistic about the future of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

The first case of AIDS was recorded in Brazil in 1982, and whilst many countries have struggled to curb the spread of HIV and to care for those with AIDS, Brazil’s response has been seen as a success story.

Working alongside civil society groups, the Brazilian government has made aggressive efforts to minimize the impact of the AIDS epidemic. By the end of 2007, 730,000 Brazilians were living with HIV1 – just over half the number that estimates in the previous decade had predicted. At the start of the epidemic, HIV transmission through blood transfusion and blood products was also common. Although men still account for the majority of infections, women represent an increasing share of the epidemic with the ratio of male-to-female AIDS cases shrinking from 15-to-1 in 1986 to 1.4 in 2006. A major factor in Brazil’s success has been its ability to produce several AIDS drugs locally.

“A major step backward for the country's development. Brazil is working to attract investment in innovative industries that rely on intellectual property and this move will likely cause investments to go elsewhere. Brazil’s sexual culture is very different from the puritanical tradition in [countries such as] the United States.

AIDS programs have also been radically different. The denial and the stigma that you find attached to sexual health issues in so many places isn’t found in Brazil” Sonia Correa,

Brazilian AIDS activist. In 1986 it was estimated that only 4% of the Brazilian population used condoms during their first sexual encounter. Both female and male condoms have been widely distributed and promoted by the government, and there has been a dramatic increase in condom sales.

The first recorded case of HIV being transmitted from a pregnant mother to her child in Brazil occurred in 1987. Civil society groups representing gay men played an important role in Brazil’s initial response to AIDS, and have continued to do so as the epidemic has progressed. Sex work is not illegal in Brazil and the government has taken an unprejudiced approach to preventing HIV infection among this group.

A number of schemes have been carried out, including a high profile campaign based around a cartoon character called ‘Maria without Shame’.

Sex workers in Brazil still face many barriers to condom use though, such as fear of violence, increased payment for unprotected sex and competition for clients.

Brazil has also led the way in providing IDUs with access to treatment. Of the 34,000 former and current injecting drug users on antiretroviral therapy in 2004 in 50 developing and transitional countries, 30,000 were in Brazil. The epidemic has also had an increasing effect on poorer members of Brazilian society, and those with lower levels of education. Prevention campaigns that target these risk groups need to be maintained and strengthened.

In conclusion it’s necessary to note some important facts. According to the countries which were mentioned here we can understand that the problem is global and hard to solve. It takes a lot of person’s life and there is no hope that somebody can save their souls. It’s obviously, because people don’t find the way how to protect their nation or decrease the number of deaths. We can agree that government try to help and protect, they speak about some useful programs and ways, but it’s only words, there is no any result.

On the other hand, it should be noticed that people make this disease by them. There are reasons of existing such problem. Humanity don’t think about their health then do some sexual actions, don’t control the situation.

Well, if speak about ways, it should be noticed that government should pay more and more attention to this problem, create more useful social programs, because the reasons of such disease are the same in all over the world.

Agenda: «Ensuring environmental sustainability: problem of climate change»

Chairperson – Ksenia Pekar, 3rd year student, International Economic Relations Department, Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law

Working Language: English

TITLE «Green Actions»

Statement of the problem

Climate Change is the problem of the 21st century. The earth is warming up, habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. And there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their Many are agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns.

Goals

-To take actions that may contribute towards the achievement of the 7 th United Nations Millennium Development Goal;

-To increase social awareness about environmental problems and solutions to them;

-To foster solicitude and responsibility to environment among people;

-To raise the level of ecological education in the society.

Term of the project

3 months

The most desirable months to start the project are February, March and April as project presupposes school kids' involvement and their active participation in planting and cleaning. That is why we think spring is the best time for project implementation.

Actions

I. Ecological education

Lectures in schools that should be conducted by project workers with the help of teachers

-The project will be launched in 3-5 schools

-It covers 1-8 classes

The project presupposes complementary lessons included into the schedule (one time in

2weeks)

-High-school students alongside with project managers will conduct complementary lessons for primary school.

Primary classes: lessons conducted in the form of games, movies and cartoons;

Secondary classes and high school classes: lectures, movies, discussions, practice ("Green actions" in order to raise responsibility level such as planting trees and flowers; explaining of how to behave when you're out the city);

138

-Connecting this part with other project ideas we propose wooden plates to be made by pupils and be placed on the garbage bins (see the description further);

-As a result of this project we propose to conduct competition between schools (the most ecologically-oriented school) that will be implemented by working group with the help of local government.

II. Mass-Media Involvement

To promote tips of preserving environment with the help of:

- Regular newspapers' articles (articles about ecological problems and solutions to them) (Tihookeanskaya zvezda);

- Radio (interactive games; interviews with project managers; thematic songs; news block) (Europe +)

- Television (2-minutes break for environment on local TV-channels (DVTRK, Guberniya). Referring to the previous part of our project we propose to highlight school project and the final competition in news;

- The Internet (creation ecologically-oriented groups in social nets such as "Vkontakte", "Facebook", "MoiGorod")

III. Social promotion of environmental protection "Green actions"

Advertisement promoted through t-shirts, badges, pins that will be used as equipment and presents during social events (demonstrations and concerts) organized with the help of governmental and non-governmental organizations;

1. Social ads on the city square's screens, street banners and ads before films' starts in cinema;

Create noticeable garbage bin in the most polluted areas (with a funny and bright pictures and signs on it for ex. "the bin is waiting for trash")

Promotion of environmental protection is a kind of social advertisement that is why massmedia can highlight it free of charge.

TITLE «BE FREE – ENJOY YOUR LIFE»

Statement of the problem

Alcoholism, smoking and drug addiction among youth are of a great importance for the population of the world. These social ills head for a number of dramatic consequences, such as: ruined families, crimes, fear, violation of human rights, and child mortality. Therefore combating these ills should be a priority for every country. But the actions should be undertaken not only on the governmental level but also on the level of youth organizations and NGOs. The main responsibility for the development and implementation of real action plans lies on young people and volunteers.

The statistics are shocking: nearly 200 million people are using drugs worldwide. This cause loses of income; high medical, police, court system, rehabilitation programs expenses; ruined families, crimes, fear, violation of human rights, and child mortality. Smoking relateddiseases kill one in 10 adults globally, or cause 4 million deaths. According to the World Health Organization, if current trends continue, by 2030 smoking will be killing one in 6 people. The last but not the least is an alcohol abuse. Alcohol is an important element in the chain of risk for fetal, infant, and childhood mortality. Findings indicate that infant mortality among mothers who were substance abusers was 40 infant deaths per 1000.

TITLE «Hand to Activity»

Statement of the problem

More people abuse drugs today than in any other time in history, and many of those people are youth. The statistics are shocking: nearly 200 million people are using drugs worldwide. This causes loss of income; high medical, police, court system, rehabilitation programs expenses; ruined families, crimes, fear, violation of human rights, and child mortality. Smoke-related diseases kill one in 10 adults globally, or cause four million deaths. According to the World Health Organization, if current trend continues, by 2030 smoking will be killing one in six people. The last but not least is alcohol abuse. Alcohol is an important element in the chain of risk for fetal, infant, and childhood mortality. Findings indicate that infant mortality among mothers who were substance abusers was 40 infant deaths per 1000. People use drugs because they have no other activity. In our city, Khabarovsk, there is little to do if you lack money or any talent to do something. Therefore, at least little should be done to give young adults and teens a chance to do something interesting.

Goals

-To create a "drugs-free zone" through repairing a basketball court where the initiative group will conduct sport, entertainment and other recreation activities for the purpose of fighting drugs, alcohol abuse and smoking

-To involve more teens and young adults into healthy lifestyle, and to change the priorities of the youth from drugs, alcohol and tobacco consumption to active lifestyle

ПРОЕКТ «РУКА ПОМОЩИ»

Описание глобальной проблемы

По данным Регионального Общественного Благотворительного Фонда на 2009 год в Российской Федерации насчитывается около 5 млн. беспризорных детей, и порядка 800 тыс. детей-сирот. Данная тенденция является результатом социальноэкономических проблем страны, а именно, низкого уровня жизни населения, безработицы, безучастности общества, материального неблагополучия, несложившихся отношений в семье, что ведёт к тому, что дети покидают свои дома и поддаются пагубному влиянию общества. Чаще всего такие дети начинают употреблять спиртные напитки, принимать наркотики, вступают в криминальные группировки.

Локальное описание проблемы

Количество сирот в Хабаровском крае достигло 10,5 тыс. человек (3,3% от общей численности детского населения). Однако 79% из них - социальные сироты при живых родителях. Более 150 "брошенных" детей ежегодно пополняют дома ребёнка. В 62 детских домах и школах-интернатах системы образования края находятся 3 308 детей. В домах ребёнка воспитываются 367 детей. В 16 учреждениях соцзащиты населения проходят социальную реабилитацию 2 056 детей. Большинство из этих детей с рождения и до начала самостоятельной жизни воспитываются в государственных учреждениях, что лишает их возможности приобретать опыт жизни и воспитания в семье.

Эти и многие другие явления представляют угрозу для будущего нашего края и нашей страны.

ИТОГИ СИМПОЗИУМА: КАК ЭТО БЫЛО

«Think Global – Act Locally», – девиз, который наиболее точно описывает Международный симпозиум, проходивший в Академии 15 – 17 сентября 2009 года. Участники симпозиума не побоялись бросить вызов глобальным проблемам человечества и внести определённый вклад в их решение. Несмотря на то, что делегаты прибыли из разных городов, говорили на разных языках и представляли разные страны, им удалось достичь поставленных целей и, конечно, подружиться.

Для Хабаровской государственной академии экономики и права организация международных молодежных симпозиумов стала уже доброй традицией.

Темами подобных мероприятий всегда становятся актуальные вопросы современности как на международной арене, так и для каждого человека. Тема симпозиума 2009 года, ставшего уже третьим симпозиумом подобного уровня, – «Реализация целей ООН третьего тысячелетия: от плана к действию».

В симпозиуме приняли участие более 150 человек, среди которых известные учёные-экономисты, преподаватели высшей школы, аспиранты и студенты. Всего на данном мероприятии было представлено 14 вузов России, иностранные студенты, обучающиеся в ХГАЭП из Китая и Республики Корея, делегация студентов Киотского государственного университета международных отношений (Япония).

Нельзя не отметить пленарное заседание, на котором с докладом о масштабах и последствиях глобального финансового кризиса и путях преодоления его последствий выступил академик П.А. Минакир. Слушатели с интересом восприняли информацию, которая заставила всерьёз задуматься о роли Дальнего Востока России в экономической системе стран Северо-Восточной Азии.

По завершении пленарного заседания симпозиума состоялась международная молодежная конференция-конкурс докладов «Устойчивость и безопасность мирового сообщества в условиях глобализации». Конференция проходила по двум секциям: «Бизнес, экономика и политика в условиях глобализации» и «Вопросы культуры и политики в условиях глобализации». В рамках данной конференции студентами и аспирантами были представлены актуальные научные доклады, отражающие проблемы современности в третьем тысячелетии, предлагались пути решения глобальных вызовов современности. Следует отметить, что доклады представлялись на английском языке.

Одним из основных мероприятий симпозиума стали дебаты по модели ООН, которые в этот раз проводились в новом для академии формате. Участники дебатов разрабатывали конкретные планы действий в отличие от привычных конференций по данной модели, где делегаты принимают резолюции, имеющие рекомендательный характер.

Международные дебаты по Модели ООН стала инициативой Дебат-клуба ХГАЭП, и преследовали такие цели, как расширение и укрепление деятельности, связанной с развитием Модели ООН в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе, а также создание многосторонних студенческих проектов по сотрудничеству в области достижения целей ООН третьего тысячелетия.
