In the submitted study the problem of the formation of financial literacy of students at informatics lessons and relevant training of future informatics teachers is considered. Financial literacy is understood as a set of basic knowledge in the field of finance, banking, insurance, as well as budgeting for personal finances that allow a person to choose the right financial product or service, soberly assess and take risks that may arise during the use of these products, correctly accumulate savings and identify doubtful (fraudulent) investment schemes. The authors conclude that successful development of meaningful lines of the course of financial literacy requires integration of a few school subjects, such as mathematics, history, informatics, social science and literature. The role of modern informatics teacher in the formation of financial literacy of students is great. Therefore, in the training of a future informatics teacher, it should be paid the attention to issues related to the study of elements of financial literacy in informatics lessons. In order to solve the problem, the authors propose to use the special course “Basics of work in 1С:Enterprise”, which is implemented at Penza State University. The article contains a program of the course and the methodological recommendations for its implementation.

The rate of information asymmetry impact on the consumer markets, including socially significant ones, is high. This leads to the situation, when a buyer making a choice often doesn’t satisfy his needs and is exposed to all sorts of risks. Various economic mechanisms can reduce information asymmetry, but it is impossible to completely avoid it. Therefore, the consumer, when making decisions, should primarily overcome the incompleteness of information using different means. In modern society, due to the development of information and communication technologies, tracking and analysis of market information becomes important. Paradox of a modern society is that the buyers have a great amount of information at their disposal, but they are not able to isolate basic knowledge or to tell reliable information from deliberate false data, and, as a result, make a wrong choice. There has been presented a marketing mechanism of overcoming negative effects of information asymmetry, which reduces the risks of the consumer market agents. The conceptual approach proposed is based on the application of consumer behavior modeling and aimed at achieving maximum opportunities in the today objectivity of decisions made by customers. It has been inferred that the marketing mechanism has different subject-object structures in the goods and services markets and in the socially significant markets; as a result of the functioning of the marketing mechanism information asymmetry is reduced, since unreliable information is detected in a timely manner. Both the market and the state benefit from control over information, as there are no institutional traps due to the contradiction of interests between the interactive subjects.

Mental Health Clinicians are accustomed to being confronted with not only difficult situations, but difficult conversations. Although discussing issues of diversity can be challenging, these dialogues are vital to the therapeutic process. In order to work under a multicultural framework, a clinician must minimally have basic knowledge on the culture of the client(s) being treated. Therapists are to use culturally appropriate intervention strategies and be mindful of the rules of the client’s culture. It is advised to work with the client(s) to define their culture, what it means to them, and what it means to society. It is the duty of a clinician to exemplify this for clients and give clients the power, permission, and invitation that they may believe they need, to do the same. This article discusses issues of diversity in the incarcerated system, clarifies the clinician’s role, and empowers clinicians to utilize multicultural techniques in treatment.

Over the last few years, Southern State University (SSU) has experienced a decline in enrollment and state funding. However, one aspect that holds promise, based on past enrollment data, is the potential movement towards providing online degree programs. While SSU provides rewards and encouragement for the development of online courses and programs, and students consistently are quick to fill the online sections, there has only been a small cohort of faculty who embrace teaching online. Therefore, there has been little to no growth in the number of online courses compared to other schools in the area, and not a single program has been established as being offered completely online. SSU is now faced with the issue of how to convince the heavily unionized faculty and other stakeholders that movement to the offering of online programs is a vital aspect of the university’s future success.
