The article discusses the development prospects of media technologies in the communication space in the context of the evolution of the education system, public health and museology in Russia and abroad. Basing on an interdisciplinary approach, historical-genetic and comparative research methods, the features of the use of modern media technologies and museology in the transition to a system of distance education and telemedicine are analyzed. While the XVI century had become a period of transition from manuscripts to printed editions, XIX century became the era of the industrial revolution, the beginning of the XXI century will go down as the "electronic-distance revolution", implemented by the graduates of the universities of the USSR, China, Denmark and the USA. It is concluded that in the context of the pandemic, a radical transformation of the education system, museology and health care has taken place. With the transition to distance education and telemedicine, the importance and demand for those universities, hospitals and museums has increased, which in a timely manner switched to the active use of modern media technologies. The importance of medical museology as a new branch of humanitarian knowledge, which determines the prospects for the progressive development of healthcare in the modern communication space, increases as well.

New media technologies and interdisciplinary approach is used and represented in this paper. The aspects and research results are shown through the production methodology, multimedia learning tool and the final application in geometrical education. The method we used here is obtained from overlapping of multiple disciplines such as architecture, structural systems, descriptive geometry and computer animation. Geometrical construction is presented on visual dynamic educational device for students of technical and applied arts faculties. Multimedia DVD is named: "Geometrical education by using 3D animation principles and tools". Geometrical education enables development of the understanding and perception of space as well as the ability of spatial representation. Drawing is not the goal of geometrical education. Our aim is to simplify the perception of geometrical construction, and by the method is proposed in this paper it is quite possible.

Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.

Prophylactic mastectomy is an aggressive strategy for breast cancer risk reduction. The indications and efficiency of this procedures are not yet clearly defined. Randomized, prospective studies, comparing different surgical procedures with other modalities of breast cancer risk reduction are lacking. The report evaluates the existing controversy, based on Medline search in the following sequence: risk factors, possibilities of risk reduction, effectiveness of risk reduction, technical considerations and recommendations. Patient selection is difficult and needs an interdisciplinary approach. The women have to be well informed about all treatment alternatives and various reconstructive procedures. An appropriate risk reduction strategy should be selected individually for each patient. Up to now, there exist only recommendations from different institutions but no definitive guidelines.

Supported by media technologies, today’s employees can increasingly decide when and where to work. The present study examines positive and negative aspects of this temporal and spatial flexibility, and the perceptions of control in these situations based on propositions of self-determination theory. Using an exploratory approach we conducted semi-structured interviews with 45 working digital natives. Participants described positive and negative situations separately for temporal and spatial flexibility, and rated the extent to which they felt autonomous and externally controlled. Situations appraised positively were best described by decision latitude, while negatively evaluated ones were best described by work–nonwork conflict. Positive situations were perceived as autonomous rather than externally controlled; negative situations were rated as autonomously and externally controlled to a similar extent.
