The success of the professional activity of a modern person of any specialty direction directly depends on his willingness to use the means of new information technologies in the design and implementation of his professional activity. Modern information and communication technologies are now becoming a significant tool for improving the efficiency of management in all areas of public activity, an important factor in the competitiveness of any enterprise. The use of information technologies increases the efficiency of management work, allows you to transfer data about the work of the enterprise from the passive to the active form, transform them into new knowledge, into a source of new approaches and solutions. Analytical technologies are important for those who make decisions: managers, analysts, experts, consultants, who determine the accuracy of forecasts, the optimality of the chosen strategies. Even today, cloud technologies are a mandatory integral part of the infrastructure of any enterprise. Today, there is a need for specialists of different levels to master the use of cloud services in the daily practice of solving management tasks. Recently, a sufficient number of publications have appeared in the scientific literature devoted to the study of theoretical issues of the importance and significance of using cloud technologies in solving management problems, but after a futile search for a set of laboratory tasks in this area, it was decided to develop and implement them in the practical block of the discipline "Information Technologies in Management". The purpose of this work is to present analytical tasks for laboratory work in this discipline and to describe methodological recommendations in an accessible and concise form for their solution in Google tables for students of a pedagogical university of the correspondence department.

The article mainly discusses the question in what sense the term «wave» is used when teaching general physics at a technical university. For this purpose, the texts of the main physics textbooks for technical universities, as well as several other books, are analyzed. The analysis is based on the concept of «physical parts of speech» proposed by two of the authors in previous works. It is shown that the term «wave» is used in textbooks in three senses, and it is not always clear from the context which of the three is meant by the authors. First, the term

«wave» is used to refer to a physical phenomenon, that is, vibrations in an elastic medium or at the interface of media (waves on the surface of water), which are accompanied by energy transfer without noticeable transfer of matter. This includes sound waves, seismic waves, etc. Secondly, the word «wave» means a model (for example, «monochromatic wave», «plane wave», «traveling wave», «standing wave»). This includes electromagnetic waves: this is evident, if only because they do not require any environment for their distribution. Finally, third, the word «wave» means a basic physical concept: for example, the de Broglie wave, the probability wave, the wave properties of electromagnetic radiation. We believe that when studying the corresponding section in the course of general physics in at a technical university, it is necessary to emphasize every time what, in fact, is being discussed. This will make teaching physics to students more effective and bring it closer to the physical reality around them.

This article examines the problem of forming students' readiness for independent work through benchmarking technology. The article analyzes the views of researchers on the planning and organization of independent work of students, the formation of students' readiness for self-control of educational, and in the future professional activity, on benchmarking in education. The idea is substantiated that the use of benchmarking technology in the process of preparing for independent work has a positive effect on the formation of readiness for self-learning. Relevant research has been carried out in this direction. Considerable attention is paid to the implementation of educational platforms in the learning process, which improve the level of students' readiness. This problem has not been sufficiently studied and requires further research. The main goal of this study is to identify pedagogical conditions that reflect the effectiveness of modern educational content in the formation of students' readiness for independent work through benchmarking technology. The author proposes a model for the formation of students' readiness for independent work through benchmarking technology. In the process of working on the study, the author applied the following methods: analysis of pedagogical literature; survey methods (conversation, questioning), testing, ascertaining and shaping experiments; qualitative and quantitative analysis of results, method of statistical data processing. In the article, the author provides an evidence base, statistical data and questionnaire results, confirming the conclusions of the pedagogical experiment. The author's idea to use the educational platform GoogleClassroom, using courses, as well as an electronic educational and methodological complex, has scientific significance and relevance in the formation of students' readiness for independent work.

The article provides a didactic justification for the implementation of MOOCs and the «flipped classroom» technology in the framework of continual pedagogical education. Higher professional education is currently obliged to follow the trends and challenges that meet the requirements of the emerging information society. An integral part of it is development of distance learning, the use of which can improve the quality of education. The purpose of the article is to describe the implementation of the «flipped classroom» technology using relatively new teaching tools such as Mass Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The theoretical stage of the study involved the analysis of domestic and foreign pedagogical and methodical literature, standards of education and experience in solving the stated research problem. To confirm the effectiveness of the experimental results, empirical research methods (observation and comparison) were applied. In order to confirm the effectiveness, qualitative research methods were used. The authors analyzed existing types of MOOCs (cMOOC, xMOOC). Based on the results of the analysis of the potential of MOOCs in the higher education system and having studied the features of using the technology of the «flipped classroom», a course «Methodology for teaching the French language» was developed. Its aim consists of increasing the efficiency of students training at a pedagogical university for future professional activities. The practical significance of the article lies in referring to the works of domestic and foreign researchers in the field of developing MOOCs and the «flipped classroom» technology, as well as creating CMOOCs for studying the methods of teaching the French language. This article will be useful for professionals involved in educating students the methodology of a foreign language teaching.

The article analyzes the experience of the Omsk branch of Synergy University in holding student scientific and practical conferences. The aim of the study was to identify the features in preparation for the International Scientific and Practical Conference of students, undergraduates and teachers "From synergy of knowledge to synergy of business" as an educational phenomenon. In this regard, we studied the organization of preparation for holding student scientific and practical conferences "From synergy of knowledge to synergy of business" in the Omsk branch of Synergy University from 2014 to 2021.

The materials for the research were: conference programs, reports on conferences held, collections of papers by participants in scientific and practical conferences "From synergy of knowledge to synergy of business." As a result of the research, we found that the pedagogical staff of the branch has developed its own strategy for organizing this conference. One of the features of the strategy of organizing this conference is the formation for the preparation of the conference of the student Organizing Committee of the conference, which includes students of the branch who are actively involved in research work. We also found that the preparation for this event consists of 10 stages: the creation of the Organizing Committees of the conference, fixing the purpose of the conference, determining the date of the conference, sending out a newsletter about the conference, collecting applications according to the proposed application form for participation, which is available in the information letter, processing the received applications, compilation of a collection of papers by conference participants, preparation of the program of the scientific and practical conference, preparation for holding within the framework of the work of each section of the competitions for "The best scientific research work of a student" and "The best public speech of a student", technical, printing, organizational preparation of the conference support.

The article considers theoretical and methodological approaches to the concept of «principle», highlights its essential characteristics and distinguishing features, gives a scientific justification of the principles of organizing training in the system of digital industrial and labor relations. The purpose of the work was the formation of a conceptual and categorical apparatus of the process of organizing training in the digital economy in terms of its fundamental provisions. As the methods of the study, general scientific methods of theoretical (formalization, abstraction, generalization, systematization) and empirical (description, comparison) nature were used. Using the above methods, the essence and content of the term «principle» were clarified, its basic differences from the concepts of postulates, concepts, laws and laws were revealed. Various classifications of the principles of the system of industrial and labor relations in the conditions of digitalization were considered, their advantages and disadvantages were revealed. The need to structure the principles of organizing training in the digital economy on the principles of the organization process itself (general methodological), directly training personnel (system) and digitalization (specific) is determined. It is proposed to consider the principle of digitisation as the fundamental principle of this system, which consists in the digitalization of all processes and elements of the system of organizing training in order to form a person identified in modern society who has digital competencies and is ready to apply them in his work. The principles of the second order include general methodological, systemic and specific principles, which determine, respectively, the basic rules of the training process, the integrity of the continuing professional education system, and the peculiarities of a competent approach to the formation of digital industrial and labor relations. A scientifically based set of principles for organizing training can be used in further research on personnel provision in the context of a digital transformation of the economy.

The article deals with the theoretical foundations of the double deficit hypothesis within the framework of the Keynesian school and the followers of Ricardo. The hypothesis of a double deficit in the Greek economy is put forward. First, the theoretical components of this concept are considered. The following are the macroeconomic indicators of Greece for the period from 1980 to 2019 for the purpose of their analysis. The indicators include the country's GDP growth, public debt, public spending, current account balance, and budget deficit. Trends and dependencies are constructed and illustrated on the basis of statistics; a correlation analysis was performed to determine the general and deficit dependencies. In order to improve the quality of the study and the reliability of its results, the correlation analysis divides the forty-year period into three parts, this is due to important events affecting the Greek economy: Greece's entry into the euro zone and the global financial crisis of 2008. The results of the analysis showed a strong link between the budget deficit and the current account deficit of Greece's balance of payments in the period from 2008 to 2019. After confirming the hypothesis, the reasons and explanations for the phenomenon of double deficits in the economy are given. The main reason is the global financial crisis, after which Greece was unable to restore the economy. Undermining the economy led to increased spending, which increased the budget deficit. To ensure the missing funds, the state attracted loans, thereby increasing the external debt. This has led to an increase in the current account deficit. Confirmation of the existence of twin deficits in the Greek economy paves the way for further expansion causes the dual-deficit model predictions of its development in the future, but also find solutions to problems at the economic level.

The article examines and evaluates the impact of digitalization on the modern economy. The relevance of the study is dictated by the “digitization” of all spheres of public life, as well as the versatility of the opportunities that the development of the digital environment provides. The aim of the work is to study the main trends in the development of digitalization and the digital economy, identify the features of the digitalization process in Russia, assess its effectiveness, as well as search for problems in this area and ways to solve them. The methods used include the analysis of literature sources in the field of the digital economy and digital technologies, generalization and systematization of the information received, as well as the study of the development of the digital environment in Russia in practice. The result of the developed methodology is the identification of obstacles to the development of digitalization, as well as the development of recommendations for overcoming them. The results obtained can be applied by organizations, specialists in the field of digital technologies, as well as by government authorities and other economic entities interested in the introduction of innovations in order to optimize the existing conditions for doing business, increase the country's competitiveness in the international arena, etc. that digitalization plays a key role in the development of the economies of the countries of the world, including in Russia. In view of the novelty of this direction, there is great potential for improving technologies and their competent implementation in various processes taking place in society. In addition, digitalization helps to reduce the digital divide between states, thereby strengthening their interaction and interdependence.

The article is devoted to the study of migration processes between Russia and the Republic of Kazakhstan with an emphasis on border regions. Migration processes are considered since the collapse of the USSR and the appearance of independent republics on the political map of the world. It is noted that the migration was greatly influenced by the peculiarities of the settlement of border territories by Russians, Kazakhs, Germans, Tatars, Ukrainians and other nationalities, and on both sides of the border. Based on the analysis of statistical data, migration flows between Russia and Kazakhstan are determined, and the causes of migration flows in different time intervals are revealed. The article describes the legislative initiatives that regulate the areas of cooperation between the countries, including migration processes. The reasons that determine the migration of the population of the Omsk region are classified, and the negative trend of changes in the population of the region is shown. The analysis of migration attitudes of residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan from the point of view of demographic, economic and ethnic factors is carried out, the dependencies characterizing the population, the total birth rate, the working-age population, the population size by individual ethnic groups according to the results of the census of 2009 and 2020 of the Republic of Kazakhstan are constructed. The analysis of the obtained dependencies is carried out, possible reasons for changes in the considered indicators are determined, and the most characteristic periods are highlighted. It is concluded that every year the number of migrants from Kazakhstan increases, so it is necessary to pay more attention to this process in order not only to regulate it, but also to maximize its use for the Omsk region. We need a legislative initiative that allows the implementation of an integrated approach to the socio-economic development of border areas on the basis of a special state program.

The average annual number of people employed in the regional economy is one of the key macroeconomic indicators characterizing its state and development, and also largely determining the state of the labor market in the region. Forecasting the dynamics of this indicator is a rather important task, in solving which it is necessary to take into account the scenarios of the development of the regional economy and the influence of the demography of the region.

The purpose of this article is to present a modification of the complex of econometric models of a typical scenario approach for assessing the average annual number of people employed in the regional economy. To achieve this goal, methods of comparative, logical and statistical analysis, methods of modeling and short-term forecasting of the dynamics of a number of key macroeconomic indicators of the functioning of the regional economy were used. Along with this, the work uses standard methods for analyzing scientific literature on the issues under study, as well as a descriptive method for characterizing methods for constructing time series models and subsequent short-term forecasting of the values of their levels.

As a result of the study, it is proposed to improve the models of the dynamics of the average annual number of employed in the regional economy and replace the insufficiently substantiated models for assessing the impact on this indicator of investments in its basic production assets with an econometric model of the dynamics of average labor productivity in the economic system under consideration. The constructed econometric models were tested for significance and adequacy by calculating the Fisher test, the coefficient of determination, and the Darbin – Watson test. For the target and baseline scenarios of the development of the regional economy, characterized by the corresponding values of the gross regional product, short-term forecasts of the average annual number of employed were formed, which were compared with the data published by the state statistics bodies and specialized divisions of the regional administration. The estimation of the forecasting accuracy was carried out by calculating the relative error between the statistical data and the forecast values of the considered macroeconomic indicator. The values of the relative forecasting error indicate the possibility and expediency of using the proposed models to solve the problems of assessing the dynamics and short-term forecasting of the average annual number of employed in the regional economy.

The transformation of scientific, technological and financial risks of technological integration has become a prerequisite for the sustainable development of manufacturing enterprises. The purpose of this study is to study the current state of innovation, to identify threats to the scientific and technical potential of industrial companies. The theoretical considerations and conclusions relate to options for securing enterprise sustainability. Among them, one can single out the regulation of the financial status of an organization in accordance with the development trends of the national economy, an increase in the level of institutional development, the generation of economic growth through

«continuous innovation», «Human Resource Management», financial policy and «operational leverage». Based on the processing of statistical information, the author identifies the characteristic features of the of the «PreCOVID» and

«PostCOVID» economies. Among them, there is a positive trend of investment in R&D; growth of state sources of financing for innovative activities; positive balance of investments in new technologies and research on the part of foreign entities, despite the ongoing sanctions restrictions; growth in research and development costs from the main partners of enterprises in technological integration. The assessment of the state of small and medium innovative entrepreneurship is given; the conclusion is made about its insignificant share of innovations in the total number of small enterprises. Taking into account the simultaneous impact of external and internal crises on the management system of industrial enterprises, methods of transformation of the most typical risks of technological integration are proposed. They are grouped according to the functional purpose of the control subsystem, tied to the forms of vertical, horizontal, mixed integration of technological processes. It is concluded that for a group of scientific and technological risks as subject-object relations, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures aimed at reducing the amount of possible damage by deepening the technological chain.

The article reviews the views of scientists on the definition of "financial risk", highlights the main features inherent in financial risk. The risk management process and assessment methods are described. The necessity of early development and implementation of risk management methods in a market economy is primarily due to the fact that Russian commercial organizations are independent economic entities, and this fact means that they can determine their financial and production policies, but the government has no obligation to provide support in the event of financial problems or other difficulties. In these circumstances, Russian organizations should create required reserves or raise funds from other sources to take measures to eliminate losses. A way out of this situation is possible only in the case of developing an effective risk management concept using modern technologies, taking into account the economic conditions inherent in these organizations, operating with familiar concepts and terms. This risk management concept should guarantee positive results within a reasonable period, with optimal financial investments. The effectiveness of management decisions varies depending on the type and level of risk in a fairly significant range. Financial risk can be accompanied by significant financial losses and the creation of additional reserves for its income. In the current conditions of the financial and economic crisis, the problem of increasing risks is very relevant, which is confirmed by data on the growth of unprofitability of Russian industrial enterprises. Risk management (or risk management) determines the ways and opportunities to ensure the sustainability of the enterprise, its ability to withstand adverse situations. The risk management process is the main condition for neutralizing or minimizing the negative consequences for the organization from undesirable events.
