The purpose of the article is to study the degree of usability of sites from the point of view of their stakeholders. The usability indicator is responsible for how easy the site's interface is to use, that is, it means how easily the user without special training can interact with the information system of the website. The goal of usability is to have a product that is easy to understand, easy to learn, effective to use, and en-joyable to use. Methodology. The article proposes an approach for assessing the usability of sites of business entities, based on the results of an empirical study in the format of questionnaire, which allows us to take into account the subjective attitude of respondents to the usability of a particular site. When calculating the integral usa-bility indicator, the assessments of the weight of each variant of the answer to the question, the weight of the question within the boundaries of each of the criteria, the weight of each criterion in the final indicator are taken into account. The approbation was carried out on the websites of higher education institutions. Highlighted the most important criteria for the usability of the website of a higher education institution from the point of view of applicants and students as stakeholders who are potential buyers and consumers of educational services: loading speed, convenience, efficiency, relevance, accessibility, interactivity, cross-browser compatibility, lack of forced content, attractive design, satisfaction. To obtain the results, a survey of 1170 stakeholders was conducted in the form of a questionnaire regarding the compliance of the websites of higher education institutions with the usability criteria. Based on the results of scoring and taxonomic analysis, quantitative values of the integral indicator of the usability of the websites of higher education institutions were obtained: NTUU “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”– 8,01; Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv – 6,47; Sumy State University – 7,87; Lviv Polytechnic National University – 7,85; V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University – 5,32; Interregional Academy of Personnel Management – 7,7; Kharkiv University – 6,97; Academy of Advocacy of Ukraine – 5,62.

The paper considers the problem of bachelors, masters and graduate students training for work in the field of plant biodiversity ex-situ conservation (out of natural habitats), taking into account the modern strategy of biodiversity conservation accepted by the world scientific community. The long-term analysis of bachelors and graduate students training effectiveness was performed in Novosibirsk State Agricultural University, Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Novosibirsk State University of Architecture, Design and Arts. Some training materials of National Research Tomsk State University and experience of training of CSBG graduate students majoring in introduction of rare and useful plants were used. The authors show the leading role of the subject Introduction of plants for this major. The lack of valuable references on this course is noted. The authors justify the use of a complex of classical botanical techniques and modern ways of data analysis, including digital processing of images and parameters of plant objects in the educational process. Three main directions of experiments with introduced plants are characterized. The authors emphasize cooperation of higher education and academic science including students internship in research laboratories and centers of collective use of RAS institutes. This makes the most essential contribution to the training of young scientists who want their major to be conservation of plant biodiversity by methods of introduction and biotechnology.

The Latvian language as a foreign language (LATS) is learned both in Latvia and abroad. It can be done in higher education institutions, as well as in different courses and self-directed learning. Outside Latvia, there are many countries and higher education institutions where it is possible to acquire LATS. In some higher education institutions, the Latvian language has been taught since the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest LATS teaching traditions are in North America, Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and Australia. In some universities, such as Stockholm University, Masaryk University, Saint Petersburg State University, etc., academically strong study programs in Baltic Studies were established. Over time, study programs have been closed for various reasons, at most leaving the Latvian language as an optional course. At some universities, the Latvian language course has been discontinued. Although in some higher education institutions outside Latvia LATS could be acquired starting from the beginning of the 20th century, the most significant interest in the Latvian language was after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Latvia. Then many higher education institutions in Europe established Latvian language and culture study programs. This interest was related to the geopolitical situation. People tried to get to know the post-Soviet countries through the language. When Latvia joined the European Union, interest in the Latvian language decreased in Europe. Nowadays, interest in the Latvian language has increased in Asia, especially in China. In Asia, it is possible to acquire the Latvian language in China and Japan. There are established different Latvian language bachelor programs in universities of China while in Japan the Latvian language is taught for somebody interested in Latvian culture and traditions more than in the Latvian language.

The debate on what should be offered by universities concerning their marketing education curricula in order to serve the market needs, specifically the employers' has been widely present in the literature. Its relevance derives from the fact that employers are one of the most important stakeholders of higher education institutions, given their responsibility in the career of graduate students. In this chapter we intend to contribute to the understanding of the state of undergraduate marketing education offered by Portuguese universities and assess whether there is a mismatch between marketing education and market needs. A better understanding of the mismatch and its implications can lead to better marketing education programs, increasing not only the acceptance and employability of students but also the transfer of innovative marketing knowledge to companies. The findings show that there is indeed a gap between what is being offered by the academia and what is requested by the job market, in terms of marketing, that could be higher than 50% of the requirements expected by employers.
