Based on the analysis of the theory and practice of modern digital transformation, approaches and the concept of the content of an advanced training course in information culture (in modern conditions - digital culture) are offered for students of economic specialties. The place and role of the general culture and information culture, as its component, in the modern digital economy are determined and the conceptual structure of the training course on information culture for economic specialties is proposed, taking into account the features of the digital economy and new opportunities to improve the efficiency of the use of information systems and the formation of information resources.Unlike existing courses, when digital culture is understood as “creating an environment in which managers recognize the important role of technology for business, ensure the availability of information and train employees for the most comfortable and efficient use of technological tools”, the article substantiates the need to understand the natural harmony of complex self-organization information systems.In relation to economic specialties, the essence of the proposed concept of the training course is in-depth Understanding by students of the essence of modern information (digital) culture as an institution of creating conditions for economic agents to use the capabilities of modern information (digital) ecosystems for the effective interaction of individuals and enterprises and their accelerated adaptation to technological innovations.Based on the concept, the structure of the course is proposed, which includes four blocks of topics studied: the nature and role of culture in the economy; digital transformation and digital economy; the basics of website content generation and data visualization; approaches to assessing the effectiveness of information and digital culture.

Background: The use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted agents for staging prostate cancer (PCa) patients using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasing worldwide. We performed a systematic review on the role of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in PCa staging to provide evidence-based data in this setting. Methods: A comprehensive computer literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases for studies using 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in PCa staging was performed until 31 December 2020. Eligible articles were selected and relevant information was extracted from the original articles by two authors independently. Results: Eight articles (369 patients) evaluating the role of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in PCa staging were selected. These studies were quite heterogeneous, but, overall, they demonstrated a good diagnostic accuracy of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in detecting PCa lesions at staging. Overall, higher primary PCa aggressiveness was associated with higher 18F-PSMA-1007 uptake. When compared with other radiological and scintigraphic imaging methods, 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT had superior sensitivity in detecting metastatic disease and the highest inter-reader agreement. 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT showed similar results in terms of diagnostic accuracy for PCa staging compared with PET/CT with other PSMA-targeted tracers. Dual imaging with multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging and 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT may improve staging of primary PCa. Notably, 18F-PSMA-1007-PET/CT may detect metastatic disease in a significant number of patients with negative standard imaging. Conclusions: 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT demonstrated a good accuracy in PCa staging, with similar results compared with other PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals. This method could substitute bone scintigraphy and conventional abdominal imaging for PCa staging. Prospective multicentric studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Educational Information

The method of visual presentation of educational information for solving problems of mathematics and informatics is effective for the development of algorithmic, logical and computational thinking of schoolchildren. Technical progress, informatization of education, the emergence of modern software for visualization of information change the activities of teachers who need to master new technologies of information visualization for use in the classroom and in work with gifted children. Visual models for presenting educational information and methods of their processing with the use of computer programs are also relevant in extracurricular activities, allowing to develop the intellectual abilities of schoolchildren. Teachers are required to teach children to create projects in which visibility is a necessary component and must be represented by an electronic product created using modern information visualization tools. The article proposes a variant of the advanced training course for teachers of mathematics and informatics on teaching methods for visualization of solving problems using graphs and the free software “Graphoanalyzator”. The relevance of the course is due to the need to form the competency to carry out targeted work with gifted children in the use of software for creating and processing graphs based on the graph visualization program “Graphoanalyzator”. The authors believe that the training of teachers on this course will contribute to the formation of their skills to solve problems of mathematical modeling in informatics and mathematics, to apply information technologies to solve pedagogical problems in the context of informatization of education.

Background. The purpose of this observational case series study was to investigate the role of 25 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in detecting subluxated lenses and compare it with 50 MHz UBM. Methods. 45 patients (49 eyes) with suspected subluxation of the lens and 20 normal volunteers (40 eyes) were included. Different cross-sectional images of the lens position were captured in axial and longitudinal scanning modes using 25 and 50 MHz UBM. The main outcome measurements included the linear distance between the lens equator and ciliary process, the difference value (D-value) between the same cross section of the above bilateral linear distance in the normal and the subluxated subjects, the diagnostic accuracy, and the testing times obtained with 25 and 50 MHz UBM. Results. The position of the lens on axial sections could be clearly shown by using 25 MHz UBM. The D-value of the subluxated eyes was 1-2 mm longer than that of the normal ones. There was a statistically significant difference between 25 and 50 MHz UBM in showing subluxation of the lens, the testing time was significantly faster (2.0 min versus 7.5 min), and the diagnostic accuracy was much higher (98.0% versus 71.4%) with 25 versus 50 MHz UBM. Fifteen eyes with slightly subluxated lens were detected by 25 MHz UBM, and only one eye with slight lens subluxation was detected by 50 MHz UBM. Conclusions. The results indicated that 25 MHz UBM has a greater diagnostic value than 50 MHz UBM in verifying the status of the lens subluxation and can provide reliable and quantitative imaging evidence for clinical use. This trial is registered with ChiCTR–DOD –15007603.
