Abstract: Every child is a unique individual. The way children act or behave in a particular situation may differ from one another. The study identified the prevalence of ADHD symptoms among Grade I learners as observed by their teachers. Descriptive method was utilized. Questionnaire, interview guide, and observation were the instrument used in 17 respondents. It revealed that academic performance level of identified learners to have ADHD symptoms varies. Learners have low academic performance level while others have average academic performance level. Teachers employed various measures to address identified learners to have ADHD symptoms on aggressiveness, inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsiveness and depression. Various management practices were used by Grade I teachers to address identified Grade I learners to have ADHD symptoms on aggressiveness, inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsiveness and depression to manage and control the behaviour of their learners. The combination of different management practices served as the best management practices to successfully manage and take control on the behaviour of identified learner.

Abstract: For improving product quality and shifting from manufacturing to a service based economy, many organizations are undergoing organization structure transformation from hierarchy to decentralization in order to facing the increasingly fierce global competition. In the new and more flat form of organization structure, the practice of empowerment is regarded as an effective mechanism benefiting both employees and organizations and has attracted lots of researchers’ attention. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the value of founders in startups and their empowerment behaviors. This study generated a comprehensive empowerment behavior questionnaire with 9 dimensions. Based on context analysis on the interviews of startup founders, their values were coded according to the definition system of the value studies by Schwartz. And the primary relations between empowerment behavior and personal value is explored. The results showed that the growth and anxiety-free part of a circular motivational continuum with 19 values are more positively related to empowerment behavior and the other part, self-protection and anxiety avoidance is less positively related to their empowerment behavior. Future research is also discussed in the paper.

Abstract: It had been documented in the literature that Chinese people endorsed more highly collectivist values when compared with their Western counterparts who endorsed more individualistic values (bi-cultural differences). The aim of the study was to examine if the same pattern existed among three groups of Chinese people (mono culture) in Australia, without comparing them with another ethnic group. A method using a 26-item survey labelled as Cultural Value Scale (CVS) was administered to 138 Chinese Australians. Principal component analyses (with varimax rotation) were used to identify underlying dimensionality in the correlations of items. Scales were constructed from the final solution and Cronbach’s alpha calculated. Subscale score variations were analysed to examine the discriminant validity of the subscales. Our results using Principal Component Analysis revealed four dimensions accounting for 47 percent of the variation within items. Four factors were derived. These were labelled Collectivist Family Conformity (CFC), Collectivist Family Interdependence (CFI), Individualist Self Assertion (ISA) and Individualist Self Opinion (ISO). Developed as subscales, reliability analysis indicated moderately high internal consistency with respective alpha coefficients of 0.77, 0.67, 0.54, and 0.61. We conclude that Chinese Australians endorsed more collectivist values than individualist values, correlated positively with the literature.

Abstract: Protection of children and adolescents health, primarily providing them with food substances and energy is one of the main objectives of the society. Purpose of research is to describe actual state of nutrition at the 15-17 years old children in Ukraine and to estimate it influence on a dynamic of morbidity with the alimentary risk factors. Materials and Methods. Investigation of average daily diets was conducted at the 15–17 years old adolescents in the comprehensive schools of Dnipro city at home and in the school canteens. Assessment of menu-layouts was carried out with using collection of recipes of the dishes and food products. Nutritive value and nutrient composition of diets was estimated with applying tables of chemical composition of foods. Analyze of diets was carried out for regulated norms of physiological needs. Results and Discussion. Dietary intake of adolescents was characterized by inadequate intake of biologically valuable products, disadvantages of a regime and diversity of meals. Energy value of daily food rations at the boys and girls did not correspond to their physiological needs on 16.58 and 14.55%. Energy value of actual food ration at the boys was provided on 13.32 and 55%, among the girls–on 12.31 and 57%, which was covered by consumption of protein, fats and carbohydrates. Diets of the adolescents were characterized by macro- and microelement deficiency: protein deficiency in the diets of boys and girls was on the level 17.81 and 17.72%, carbohydrates–24.64 and 20.57. Adverse ecological factors, disturbance of an environment, a significant educational loading, lifestyle, different from the healthy life standards, unbalance by nutrients and energy value in the actual food of teenagers have a significant impact on increasing of functional disorders of a stomach–in 3.4 times, obesity in 1.2 times, anemia–on 57.6%, diabetes–on 34.7% and diseases of the pancreas–on 59.7%.
