The purpose of the article is to define and highlighting the role of digital transformation (digitalization) for libraries in the long run: efficiency and problems. Methodology. In the process of research scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization of digitalization of the library industry are applied and the influence of digitalization on the formation of innovations of models of relations library-user taking into account today's civilizational challenges is determined. The scientific novelty The research consists in the analysis of online perspectives in the work of the library industry with an emphasis on key aspects of the dynamics of digital transformation (digitalization): new mobile (electronic) applications, services, application of sharing models. Further key vectors are substantiated and specific most problematic issues of digital transformation of libraries are identified. Conclusions. As a result of the research, today's steps on digitization in libraries, features of the use of platforms, virtual environment services, and sharing products were considered. The tendencies concerning the further steps in the increase of rates of digitalization are investigated.

Advances in knowledge resulting from the sequencing of the human genome, coupled with technological developments and a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms of pathogenesis are paving the way for a growing role of precision medicine in the treatment of a number of human conditions. The goal of precision medicine is to identify and deliver effective therapeutic approaches based on patients’ genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. With the exception of cancer, neurological diseases provide the most promising opportunity to achieve treatment personalisation, mainly because of accelerated progress in gene discovery, deep clinical phenotyping, and biomarker availability. Developing reproducible, predictable and reliable disease models will be key to the rapid delivery of the anticipated benefits of precision medicine. Here we summarize the current state of the art of preclinical models for neuromuscular diseases, with particular focus on their use and limitations to predict safety and efficacy treatment outcomes in clinical trials.

The increase in the resolution of camera phone photographs has enabled an amateur to take publishable photos, then rapidly spread it among million of users through internet-based social networks. Many news agencies and media outlets now rely on these freely-available amateur photographs as a reliable source of up-to-the-minute photographic information. Also, some news companies have even dismissed their photographers entirely and replace them by smartphones. Despite this, some photographers and researchers are optimistic about the new tools and believe they may usher in a new golden age in photojournalism. In this article, we investigate the current state and future of photojournalism, and ponder if this marks the end or simply a reinvention of the role of press photographers. Palabras clave:fotoperiodistas; Instagram; fotografía; redes sociales; smartphonesKeywords:Photojournalist; Instagram; Photography; Social Networks; Smartphones
