The aim was to study the structure, routes and algorithms of telemedical network in Odessa region and its impact on the spread of COVID-19 pandemics. Materials and methods: We have analysed the data of the official reporting documentation provided by the Department of Healthcare of Odessa region. So the description of legislative acts and structure of telmedical network of Odessa region is given. In more detail, we described functions and capabilities of telmedical network COVID-19 pandemics. Conclusions: Studies have shown that Telemedicine can be used in 5 main directions: Triage and decisions regarding hospitalization to hospitals designed for COVID-19 patients or to other hospitals. Outpatient consulting in COVID-19 patients who stay at home. Coordination of activities of different hospitals; provision of specialized consulting. Training of healthcare providers for counter-epidemic measures and management of COVID-19 patients. Routine consulting in patients with chronic disease and in palliative cases. In all this activities significant benefits were founded. But amount of telemedical consultations are quiet low. As in all viral pandemies remote consultations of patients leeds to lowering in amount of infection of COVID-19 patients.

Future Research Directions

The technological revolution that has created a vast health problem due to a drastic change in lifestyle also holds great potential for individuals to take better care of their own health. This is the focus of the presented overview of current applications, and prospects for future research and innovations. The presented overview and the main goals of the systems included are to utilize information and communication technologies (ICT) as aids in self-management of individual health challenges, for the disease Diabetes, both for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. People with diabetes are generally as mobile as the rest of the population, and should have access to mobile technologies for managing their disease. Forty-seven relevant studies and prototypes of mobile, diabetes-specific self-management tools meeting our inclusion criteria have been identified; 27 publicly available products and services, nine relevant patent applications, and 31 examples of other disease-related mobile self-management systems are included to provide a broader overview of the state of the art. Finally, the reviewed systems are compared, and future research directions are suggested.

This chapter aims to analyze the development of capitalism and its influences on institutions and organizations from its beginnings to reach the highest stage in the processes of neoliberal economic globalization and the New Economy version with supports of information and communication technologies. In raising this development from a critical analysis, it examines the impacts and effects on individuals, communities and the nation state. Subsequently it is questioned the scope of the imposed transnational neoliberal capitalism model. Finally, it is concluded that it needs a cultural transformation for not accepting the forms of domination, power and alignment of globalizing capitalism and to reconstruct the identity of communities through individual action and asserting collective self-determination, independence and self-management. To a certain extent, this analysis finds that evolution and globalization support divergence more than convergence.

One of the challenges of higher education focuses on the improvement of personal and professional skills of students, with the aim of strengthening strategies that include cutting-edge resources in the learning process. The appropriate use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teaching work as support in face-to-face mode, has a significant impact on engineering professionals. With the correct handling of instruments, strategies, evaluations and educational materials mediated by technologies, which provide great advantages, where the student can work at their own pace and improve the synchronous and asynchronous communication channels with the teacher and their classmates to develop skills and acquire experiences. This work presents the incorporation of educational resources in virtual scenarios as support to the learning units taught in face-to-face modality in the Interdisciplinary Professional Unit of Engineering campus Guanajuato (UPIIG), with the purpose of reinforcing in the student self-management of knowledge to discover new teaching experiences and motivate them in the achievement of meaningful learning.
