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.

Telemedicine applications are more and more used due to the rapid development of digital imaging and information and communication technologies. Medical information which include digital medical images and patient’s information are extracted and transmitted over insecure networks for clinical diagnosis and treatments. Digital watermarking is one of the main approaches used to ensure the security of medical images. Nevertheless, in some cases, the only use of digital watermarking is not sufficient to reach a high level of security. Indeed, the watermark could carry essential patient information and needs to be protected. In such cases, cryptography may be used to protect the watermark and to improve the overall secured management in the medical environment. In this paper, we propose a clone-resistant watermarking approach combining a difference expansion watermarking technique with a cryptographic technique based on secret keys generated by a clone-resistant device called Secret Unknown Ciphers (SUCs). The use of SUCs to sign the watermark enforces the security of medical images during their transfer and storage. Experimental results show that the system provides a high level of security against various forms of attacks.

ObjectivesIn the past decade, with the ever-increasing growth of information and communication technologies, telerehabilitation, especially home-based rehabilitation (HBR), has been widely considered by researchers. Many software systems are developed to address HBR programs, which includes various functionalities. The aim of this study is to review the functional features of these systems designed for remote supervising of HBR programs.MethodsScopus, PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Library, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and ProQuest databases were searched for English-language articles published between January 2008 and February 2018 to retrieve studies reported an home-based telerehabilitation software system aiming to remotely supervise HBR program.ResultsA total of fifty studies that reported twenty-two unique systems met the inclusion criteria. Various functional features were identified including but not limited to exercise plan management, report/statistics generating, patient education, and task scheduling. Disorders or diseases addressed by these systems could mainly be grouped into five categories: musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular, and other health-related problems. Usability and acceptability, and clinical/patient outcomes were the most reported outcomes and data analysis was used by the majority of included studies to measure the outcomes.ConclusionsSystems developed for supervising of HBR program are diverse. However, preliminary results of this review revealed that these systems share more or less common functionalities. However, further research is needed to determine the requirements, structure, and effectiveness of these systems in real-life settings.

The article studies the problems of introducing a synthetic learning environment in the practice of education. The modern views on the essence of the learning environment and its new forms based on information and communication technologies are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to a range of issues that are united in the English-language publications as a "synthetic environment", which is considered in two aspects – artificial environment and synthetic as is formed due to the synthesis of the real physical world and the results of simulation and modeling. There are considered issues of trends in usage of game-based learning and modeling as cognitive technologies, as well as of social networks as a synthetic environment of social development. Conclusions are drawn: synthetic learning environment becomes an independent subject of learning through the expansion of its content and didactic power, transformation of the individual as a recipient of knowledge into the synthesizing element of the educational process in the metaverse.
