The prerequisites for the introduction and advantages of using cloud technologies in public libraries of Ukraine are considered. The terms "cloud computing" and "cloud services" are defined. The existing models for maintaining and deploying cloud services are described. The most popular free software products based on cloud technologies used by public libraries in Ukraine are considered. The cloud services offered by Google and Microsoft that libraries can use in their activities are characterized. The infrastructure and technological status of public libraries in Ukraine, their computerization and “Internetization” are examined.

Information and communication technologies and software are now used in a lot of areas of human activity. The information technology industry is constantly expanding, offering new software products and services to consumers. Proprietary software vendors deliver quality programs and guarantee their upgrade and support, but set fairly hard restrictions on their use. Licenses clearly stipulate the conditions for the installation, use and transfer of software, the number of copies, etc. Consequently, besides the fact that such software has a high cost in most cases, it significantly limits the freedom of users and makes them dependent on developers and vendors. One of the global software industry trends is the development of free software. Its important advantage is the ability to install, transmit and modify it without restrictions, and to use it to solve a variety of tasks, including profitable. In addition, such programs are often free, which is extremely important for the education sector. The implementation of free software in educational institutions can be considered as an important economic factor, as a factor of the development of students' competence and vocational guidance, as a factor of the development of civic consciousness. In the article the phenomenon of free software was analyzed, the movement for which began in the 70's of the twentieth century. It is found out that the idea of the free software is based on the philosophy of respect for individual freedom, which is realized through the freedom to execute programs in any way, to study and modify programs, to transfer copies of programs to other users, to transmit to other their modified versions of programs. We show the advantages and disadvantages of the free software, its role in information and civil society, the importance of its using in education.


In this paper, we mainly focused on developing reliable, efficient and error free software products by following practices. The software which follows proper testing techniques has less failure rate. To analyze the information or data, it should be understood first that is better to be done with the best suited model. Selection of the best suited model isn’t a simple task, and there are different methods in it. One such method is qq-plot, however, it’s not a quantified measure and time overwhelming process. We proposed a qq-plot and quantified measure “correlation factor” to demonstrate its use to choose the best fit model for information among different models being referred to

In modern (amateur radio) wireless communications, we use computers. Depending on particular situations, such as employers’ and personal preferences, users can adopt more or less proprietary operating systems and related end-user programs. In emerging and developing societies, the usage of proprietary software can be costly. Not only that, contrary to so-called “open” software, the “closed” software is not able to motivate its users to upgrade those programs regularly, not only because of high prices and restricted licensing policies, but also because of its nature, which is the “closedness” of program codes, where the end-users are not allowed to change programmed software, and so assist companies in improving features of their software products. Therefore, the authors help prospective newcomers in the amateur wireless communications to become familiar with the “open” software and, as well, to encourage them in implementing many “free” software solutions at home or work.

AbstractNew communication technologies allow patients to communicate with their physicians from anywhere using computer or smartphone. Adding video to the mere phone call optimizes the personal contact between patient and physicians regardless of distance. Legal and reimbursements requirements must be taken into account, especially only certified software products must be used. In addition, patient consent is needed and confidentiality must be assured. The video patient consultation can be reimbursed by the health insurance companies. As with all new technologies, the introduction of these video consultations faced some challenges. Although patients and physicians have expressed great interest in this technology, it has been rarely used so far. The current COVID crisis increased the need for video consultations resulting in an increasing use of video patient consultation. It can be expected that this demand will still exists after the COVID crisis.

The article discusses the development trends of the modern preschool education system in the aspect of the activity of the teacherpsychologist of the preschool educational organization. The experience of using 1C software products in the practical work of the psychological service of kindergarten 318 of the city of Perm in the aspects of psychological monitoring of children’s readiness to study at school and correctional and developmental work with preschool children is presented. The components of the child’s psychological readiness for school are described. On practical examples, diagnostic methods for determining the level of readiness of children for schooling are analyzed. The data of testing kindergarten pupils at the beginning of the 2019/2020 school year on the parameters allowing to identify urgent problems and determine the direction of the necessary correctional development work are presented. Features of the practical application of the software product 1C:Preschool Psychodiagnostics in the process of psychological support of preparing children for school are considered. Methods are described, the scope of which is aimed not only at the study of personality traits, but also at its development. The possibilities of using games of the 1C:Educational Collection in the correctional and developmental work are disclosed.

This paper presents the design and development of a mobile application that uses QR codes for the inventory control of a computer center. This application was developed to support the administration of the computer center of the Multidisciplinary Unit Tizimin, with the aim to reduce costs and time of searching for articles when making an inventory, by leveraging the capabilities of smartphones and tablets. The implementation of the system was carried out using free software.
