Alfred the Cake and the Other Heroes of British History: About One Famous Satire on School Textbook. Part 1.
Authors: Соколов А.Б.
Published: December 2023

В 1930 г. в Лондоне была опубликована написанная У. Селлером и Р. Йетменом книга «1066 и все такое» – сатира на современный школьный учебник истории, остающаяся одним из самых известных произведений английской сатиры ХХ в. В статье рассмотрены особенности и содержание этого сочинения с целью выявить предпосылки его появления, причины непреходящей популярности и значение в контексте развития исторического сознания в Англии на рубеже 1920–30-х гг. Автор исходит из того, что эта мистификация получила популярность на фоне общественного разочарования в идеологии викторианской и эдвардианской эпохи. Трагедия первой мировой войны привела к ослаблению чувства национального превосходства и имперского величия. Тип учебника, сложившийся в начале ХХ в., известный как национальный нарратив, основанный на патриотической риторике, вызывал теперь изрядную долю критики. В статье показано, как комическое, построенное по правилам английского юмора, понятное и близкое публике, подрывало представление о единственно верной национальной истории, какой она выступала в школьных учебниках.

A small book “1066 and All that” – satire on modern school history textbook written by Walter Seller and Robert Yetman was published in London in 1930. It is still one of the most famous satirical works in English literature of the XX century. The distinctive features and content of this parody are regarded to understand the causes of its’ lasting popularity, as well as its’ place in the context of development of historical consciousness in England at the end of 1920s and beginning of 1930s. The author takes point that this mystification became popular in the conditions of civil disappointment in ideology of Victorian and Edwardian time. The tragedy of the First World War led to weakening of the feeling of national and imperial greatness and superiority. The type of textbook constructed at the beginning of the XX century, known as national narrative and based on patriotic rhetoric, received a great share of criticism in new conditions. It is shown that the comic elements were built according to the rules of English humour, which means understandable and congenial to the public, undermined representation of the only authentic national history as it was reflected in school textbooks, and its’ heroes.
The Concept of «Commonwealth» in Political Writings of the Civil War
Authors: Митюрёва Д.С.
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматривается история употребления термина «commonwealth» в Англии во время гражданской войны XVII в. К середине XVII в. понятие «commonwealth» имело три значения: религиозное сообщество, монархический республиканизм, на-родный республиканизм. Предпринята попытка проследить как роялисты и парламентарии использовали позитивное смысловое поле термина: порядок, справедливость, стабильность, благосостояние, свобода. Монархический республиканизм был главным течением в английской политической мысли XVII в. и обе стороны конфликта понимали «commonwealth» как гармоничное правление «короля-в-парламен-те». Установление Республики в 1649 г. стало началом развития классического республиканизма в Англии, хотя базовое представление о «commonwealth» как о политическом теле, в котором возможны разные формы государственного устройства, не претерпело существенных изменений. После Реставрации Стюартов началось конструирование негативного образа режима Кромвеля, что создало вокруг понятия «commonwealth» противоположное смысловое поле: гражданская война, мятеж, восстание, анархия. На примере ряда ординарных писателей показано как использование термина в политической полемике стало неудобным и двусмысленным, что привело к вытеснению понятия из публичной речи и использованию слова «republic».

This article examines the history of the use of the term «commonwealth» in the English Civil War. In the 17th century the term «commonwealth» had three meanings: religious community, monarchical republicanism, and popular republicanism. The article attempts to trace how royalists and parliamentarians manipulated these meanings using the positive semantic field of the term: order, justice, stability, welfare, freedom. Monarchical republicanism was the dominant current in seventeenth-century English political thought and both sides of the conflict understood «commonwealth» as the harmonious rule of a «king-in-parliament». The establishment of the Commonwealth in 1649 was the beginning of the development of classical republicanism in England, although the basic idea of the "commonwealth" as a political body in which different forms of government were possible did not undergo significant changes. After the Stuart Restoration, the construction of a negative image of Cromwell's regime began, which created an opposite semantic field around the concept of «commonwealth»: civil war, rebellion, revolt, anarchy. The example of several ordinal writers shows how the use of the term in political polemics became awkward and ambiguous, leading to the displacement of the concept from public speech and the use of the word «republic».

Authors: Chemidronov Sergey N. , Suvorova Galina N. , Kolsanov Alexandr V.
Published: December 2023

Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the key issues in modern medicine. Symptoms associated with insufficiency of the pelvic floor support apparatus, such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence are increasingly observed in young women, and after giving birth to a third child, their frequency reaches 80%. Women who are professionally engaged in sports are of particular interest to modern medicine. Many of them, highly motivated to achieve results, do not give importance and do not focus on the problem of pelvic floor dysfunction. The question of strengthening the muscles of this area remains open. Currently, there are two main hypotheses related to the effect of physical exertion of the pelvic floor muscle. Objective: to review the literature to search for and discuss data in support of a hypothesis from the standpoint of the functional morphology of the pelvic floor and perineal muscles, the development of diseases in this area and the course of labor. Materials and methods. In our work, based on data from more than a hundred literature sources of the PubMed search engine, we are analyzing works on the topic of the pelvic floor support apparatus insufficiency in women engaged in intensive training (professional athletes, fitness instructors, military personnel, etc.) Results. According to research, we found out that the development of insufficiency of the pelvic floor support apparatus is formed in girls in adolescence with excessive physical exertion most often. Special exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles of this area contribute to the reduction of the first and second periods of labor, minimizing the likelihood of operative delivery. Conclusion. The lack of uniformity of methods for evaluating and interpreting data requires further elaboration of parameter registration and high-quality research.

Published: December 2023

Objective: to evaluate the possibility of using polarization interference microscopy for morphological diagnostics of fetal erythrocytes in tissues. Materials and methods. Blood smears used during the diagnostic and treatment process and histological sections prepared from autopsy material were used. During the diagnosis, a polarization-interference microscope PZO BIOLAR PI with a microphotometric nozzle UPI was used to determine the optical density and the measure of light transmission in erythrocytes. The method of polarization-interference microscopy contributed to the study of optical properties in individual erythrocytes. The optical properties of erythrocytes containing fetal-type hemoglobin and erythrocytes with adult-type hemoglobin were compared. The difference in the composition of the structure of erythrocytes determined the difference in light transmission and refraction. Based on the results of light transmission, the optical density of fetal and adult erythrocytes was calculated. In the conducted study of clinical blood smears, in neonatal patients, 60 measurements of the light transmission coefficient and 60 similar studies were performed in patients of the comparison group - persons older than 18 years. In the study of autopsy material, 120 measurements of the erythrocyte light transmission coefficient were carried out in placental tissue samples (chorionic villi and interstitial space). Results. The optical properties of erythrocytes were determined both in blood smears and in placental tissue preparations. Erythrocytes in blood smears with HbF had an increased light transmission coefficient in relation to the optical properties of erythrocytes with HbA in the control group. During the study of placental tissues, it was revealed that the indicators of the optical density of maternal erythrocytes with HbA in the erythrocytes of the interstitial space differed in higher values of indicators compared with the optical density of fetal erythrocytes with HbF in the vessels of chorionic villi. Conclusion. The determination of differences in the physico-optical properties of erythrocytes with fetal and adult hemoglobins makes it possible to determine the affiliation of erythrocytes both in blood smears and in the interstitial space of the placenta.

Published: December 2023

The objective of this research was to isolate, characterize, and determine the effects of kafirins and procyanidins of brown sorghum, against different concentrations of superoxide anion radical (O2•−) chemically generated in an aprotic polar medium. Likewise (-)-epicatechin, which represents the most abundant monomer of sorghum procyanidins was included as a reference system. Studies in this context are scarce and are considered relevant due to the abundance of such compounds and their potential application as drugs or functional ingredients in foods. By the effect of the hydrophobicity of the kafirins, these were better inhibitors of O2•− in the aprotic polar medium (DMSO) in which they were analyzed, compared to procyanidins and (-)-epicatechin that have a hydrophilic character. This result is important since procyanidins are considered one of the bioactive compounds with the highest antioxidant ability against a considerable number of free radicals.

Introduction. Methotrexate is one of the main chemotherapeutic agents of group antimetabolits, includes in the first line of therapy against osteosarcoma. The drug uses in dose 12 g/m2 according to the protocol EURAMOS-1. The range of methotrexate-induced complications includes renal toxity, hepatotoxicity, myelosuppression, skin and mucosal ulcerations, dyspeptic disorders. One of the formidable, but reversible complications, is methotrexate-induced transient encephalopathy (MIE), the clinical manifestations of which occur in more than 15 % of patients in the treatment of which high doses of methotrexate (HD MTX) are used.

Materials and methods. At the Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology named after Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences L.A. Durnov at N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, Ministry of Health of Russia the period from 2013 to 2023 10 cases of MIE were recorded. All patients received therapy according to the protocol EURAMOS-1. The 4 out of 10 patients had a delay in the rate of elimination of HD MTX after the course of chemotherapy. No one patient had electrolyte disturbances with using HD MTX. The median occurrence of the complication’s emerging was 7 days (from 5 to 10 from the start of therapy) and most often developed after 3 courses of methotrexate 12 g/m2 , which corresponds in total 6 doses of methotrexate. Neurological symptoms: headache, visual impairment, aphasia, convulsions were transient and resolved after an average of 24 hours from the start of the treatment.

Results. All 10 patients received obligatory alkalization, massive infusion therapy, neuroprotective drugs, as well as decongestant therapy as a treatment of MIE. Subsequently, therapy with methotrexate was continued for the 9 of 10 patients.

Conclusions. The standard recommendations for the treatment of MIE do not currently exist. However, the development of severe neurotoxicity does not exclude the possibility of further using of HD MTX in the treatment program
Clinical cases of successful treatment of life-threatening complications of selective intraarterial chemotherapy in children with retinoblastoma
Authors: Kovaleva E. A. , Belousova E. I. , Matinyan N. V. , Ushakova T. L.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Retinoblastoma (RB), a malignant neoplasm, is the most common pediatric intraocular tumor worldwide. With the advent of intra-arterial chemotherapy, interventional surgeons have assumed a central role in the treatment of this pediatric disease. Intra-arterial chemotherapy is a new treatment modality for RB in which chemotherapeutic agents are precisely delivered into the ocular artery, minimizing systemic toxicity. This procedure has shown impressive results and has significantly reduced the rate of enucleation in advanced and refractory RB. However, the procedure entails potentially serious acute respiratory and hemodynamic disturbances.

Purpose of the study – present our experience with and features of anesthesia management in the development of life-threatening conditions during superselective intraarterial chemotherapy (SIAC) in two patients with RB.

Materials and methods. We present clinical cases in 2 2-year-old patients with RB who received three courses of SIAC for RB with development of severe trigeminocardial reaction.

Conclusion. SIAC is one of the new promising treatments for RB. Prominent cardiorespiratory complications are frequently observed during general anesthesia for repeated sessions of SIAC and can be potentially life-threatening. Presumably, these complications represent an autonomic reflex response to ocular catheterization. Therefore, all patients with RB who are scheduled for SIAC should be included in the high-risk group. The timing of occurrence of the trigeminocardiac reflex is predictable and temporary, but the anesthesiologist must be prepared to treat the developed complication with the help of emergency drugs (adrenaline).

Published: December 2023

O interesse pela discussão sobre as relações raciais entre sujeitos brancos e negros têm ganhado espaço em diversas áreas, na sociedade brasileira, desde o final dos anos noventa. No campo da história da educação muitas pesquisas têm versado sobre a diversidade racial dos grupos escolares, a discussão de ações afirmativas no ensino superior e debates sobre o repensar a escola como produtora ou reprodutora de mecanismos de desigualdades sociais e raciais. Através da pesquisa realizada, pelas imagens dos quadros de formatura, entendemos que o acesso à escola profissional era o elemento de coesão e de manutenção de poder da elite branca local e nacional. Isto é, mesmo que no período investigado os negros tivessem o direito de ter acesso a uma educação profissional, sua presença, ínfima, indica que era vedado através de discriminação ou de mecanismos que dificultassem a sua permanência nesse espaço escolar e profissionalizante.

Published: December 2023

The investigation for the optimal anticoagulation strategy for patients with stable coronary artery
disease, acute coronary syndromes, and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention constitutes a great
challenge for physicians and is a field of extensive research. Although aspirin is commonly recommended as a
protective measure for all patients with coronary artery disease and dual antiplatelet therapy for those undergoing
procedures, such as percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery, the risk of
recurrent cardiovascular events remains significant. In this context, the shortcomings associated with the use
of vitamin K antagonists have led to the assessment of direct oral anticoagulants as promising alternatives.
This review will explore and provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing data regarding the use of direct
oral anticoagulants in patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome, as well as their
effectiveness in those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Preparation and Catalytic Properties of Graphene Oxide/
Phosphotungstic Acid Composites
Authors: Wang Xiao , Zhang Ping , Tao Yousheng
Published: December 2023

Background:

Cellulose structures are in stable crystallineform. The hydrolysis
of cellulose to small reducing sugars is difficult, but essential for its utilization

Objective:

To investigate the effect of graphene oxide (GO) loading on the catalytic
performance of phosphotungstic acid (HPW) for the catalyzed hydrolysis of cellulose,
with the purpose to get high yield of total reducing sugar (TRS).

Methods:

Graphene oxide/phosphotungstic acid (GO/HPW) composites were prepared
using a liquid-phase composite method. The materials were applied to catalyze
hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole chloride ionic
liquid ([Bmim]Cl). The samples were characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction
(XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field emission scanning
electron micrographs (FE-SEM), pyridine IR and acid-base chemical titration.

Results:

The Brønsted acidic sites were the main source of acidity in the composites
and its concentration was determined to be 0.96 mmol/g. With the use of the GO/HPW
composite as catalysts for cellulose hydrolysis, TRS yield of 90.5 % was obtained.

Conclusion:

GO/HPW composites retained the functional groups of both materials. It
was the Brønsted acidic sites in the materials that effectively promoted the cellulose
hydrolysis reaction. The structures of GO/HPW with the agglomeration of HPW scattered
on GO had high accessibility of acidic sites and fast mass transfer of the reducing
sugars to the outside of the catalysts in time to prevent their further conversion into
by-products. TRS yield of 90.5 % was obtained from the hydrolysis of cellulose
catalyzed by the GO/HPW (1:1.5) composites at 115 ℃ for 4 h using catalysts to cellulose
1:1 ratio.

Authors: Boukhriss Mokhless , Ali Maatoug Mohamed , Timoumi Mahdi , El Ouni Nizar
Published: December 2023

This document examines the experimental application of the gas scavenging
membrane distillation (SGMD) process and its advantages and disadvantages. SGMD
is the least used configuration in membrane distillation (MD), and it is more expensive
to build. Scavenging Gas Membrane Distillation (SGMD) is used to treat complicated
solutions with volatile molecules to separate. In this study, heat and mass transport
mechanisms, as well as modeling and simulation studies, are systematically reviewed.
In SGMD, the main operating parameters are supply temperature, supply flow rate, gas
temperature, and gas flow rate. Furthermore, the performance of SGMD is discussed
and highlighted. Potential applications and areas in which SGMD could excel are
mentioned. Finally, future research opportunities in SGMD are identified.
A hollow fiber scavenging gas membrane distillation (SGMD) module is examined in
this study. Our SGMD distillation unit has been modeled by mathematical equations
and simulated by a runtime program on Matlab software to evaluate the effects of heat
transfer and mass transfer. Also, we have found that the heat and mass transfer in our
SGMD desalination system is defined by the temperature evolution in the vaporization
chamber and the inert gas velocity of the gas. The model predicts a small error of 3.6%
with the experimental data reported in the literature, indicating the reliability of
simulated results
Development of Design Processes for Multi-Spindle Drilling using the Neural Network and Expert System
Authors: Fajraoui Ayoub , Mehdi Kamel
Published: December 2023

This work presents the integration of multilayer neural network with an
expert system for the automatic choice of the design process of multi-spindle drilling
housing. An intelligent design system approach is developed to integrate various
phases of the mechanical process including neural network subclasses and MLANN.
This solution reduces the time during the design preparation process and to improve
production. The automatic choice is carried out in three steps: Firstly, we started with
the formulation of training base experiments of the experts of the field as well as the
necessary knowledge of expertise, and which is among the general criteria for the
choice of the design process. The second step was devoted to the creation of many
multi layers NN1…NNm for the choice of the design mode. The final step is related to
the application of the outputs as results and an input for chaining by the expert system.
This chaining is based on several models based chaining (input data collection) from
the neural network results and processing (output results). The results are the
kinematics schema of the multi spindle drilling housing.
Experimental Investigation of a New Hybrid Solar Collector (PV/T) System
Authors: Fterich Mohamed , Chouikhi Houssam , Bentaher Hatem , Maalej Aref
Published: December 2023

Solar Energy can be exploited to produce heat and/or electricity. PV/T
panels are a good application to produce both photovoltaic and Thermal energies by
recovering heat lost with a heat removal fluid (water or air). This induces an
improvement of the energetic efficiency of the panel since it is the addition of electrical
and thermal outputs. The object of this work was to design a new hybrid solar collector
based on the superposition of the thermal and electrical functions instead of their
overlay as previously done in most existing systems. Indeed, while thermal energy
production requires high fluid operating temperatures, PV electrical energy production
needs relatively low operating temperatures. The main goals are to study the
effectiveness of our PV/T prototype in terms of thermal energy produced. Moreover,
the present system improves the promotion of agro-food micro-enterprises by the
integration of miniaturized machines with dryers in remote areas where electric
connectivity is not available. In these sites, the farmers can dry the various agricultural
products using the prototype we have realized.
However, we dealt with an experimental analysis to study the influence of external and
internal parameters on the thermal and electrical performance of a photovoltaic thermal
hybrid collector PV/T. The system consists of a photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) air
collector of 1.37 m2
. A fan was used to force the convection. Based on the experimental
results, it was observed that the thermal and electrical energy was increased when mass
flow rate and solar radiation were increased. The thermal and electrical efficiency
generated by the system was calculated as 65% and 12.5%, respectively. It was also
observed that the outlet air temperature increased. 
Numerical Investigations of the Effect of Packed Bed Porosity on the Flow Behavior

Published: December 2023

Packed columns are considered useful to a great extent in the distillation of
natural gas, and liquid volume fraction is a critical parameter for their design. This
study aimed to develop a geometrical model of a packed column with one cone spray to
simulate the injection. Here, the commercial software FLUENT 6.3 was employed.
CFD simulations using the mixture model coupled with several turbulence models were
used to analyze the porosity effect on the fluid profiles. The results show that the
decrease of the packed porosity resulted in a greater dispersion of the liquid, indicating
the anisotropic behavior in the bed. Furthermore, the effect of different turbulence
models was analyzed in order to study the atomizing of the liquid phase accurately. The
numerical results were obtained to provide further insight into the mechanism of the
distillation with volatile components.

in the clinical sector has led to the construction of massive health records. As a result of
this growth, there are never-before-seen requirements for clinical information security
throughout usage and exchange. This adoption of the blockchain method as a
reasonable and effective data storage and handling platform is opening up new
opportunities in healthcare for tackling key data privacy, security, and integrity issues.
Patients and healthcare providers have difficulty accessing, storing, integrating, and
transmitting health information. Individuals are likely to access and control their
medical information from everywhere on the planet, process and report their clinical
findings, grant permissions, and even securely exchange that data with certain medical
professionals. Straightforward health information access and an even more complete
digital information architecture might help the medical industry better prepare for
public health threats like COVID-19. We will examine several of the numerous ways
that blockchain methodology has been employed in the clinical area, as well as its
prospective scopes and possibilities for a better tomorrow, in this research.

It has been discovered that the storage problem of complex health records
and data has been addressed, but there were still several issues with data security
sharing with cloud technology. The decentralization attribute of blockchain will help in
solving the problem. In electronic health records, blockchain can assist in reducing data
sharing and interoperability in the industry by creating an overarching mechanism
connecting different personal forms. It can also mimic data sharing by directly bridging
the gap between owners and buyers. Therefore, this chapter will provide detailed
information on Advancing health research data analysis with blockchain.

Blockchain is predicted to greatly transform the conventional methods of
transacting between users, covering almost all sectors of the economy. While the
expectations of blockchain technology are high, the actual impacts and benefits are still
unclear, causing delays and skepticism in its adoption. As the coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) continues to affect the world, businesses and governments scramble for
answers in attempting to limit the impact of the pandemic. In order to assess the ability
of blockchain technology in its efforts to minimize the impact of the pandemic and
clearly define the challenges and prospects of blockchain, a structured literature review
of peer-reviewed articles on block chain’s implementation and adoption in supply chain
management, education, logistics and finance sectors was conducted. It is
recommended that block chain’s implementation and adoption is not limited to the
finance sector but can be applied in any sector, where it provides a decentralized
network in which information is accessible and personal privacy and security are
guaranteed. Therefore, the wider acceptance and implementation of blockchain in
selected sectors of the economy, especially in finance and supply chain management,
has proven that blockchain can be utilized by businesses, governments and health
professionals in the fight against the virus by transforming the challenges into
opportunities combined with the prominent essential enablers would fast track its wider
adoption.
A 2021-es férfi és a női Európai Kézilabda Szövetség, Bajnokok Ligája (EHF BL) Final 4-ba jutott kézilabda csapatok támadó játékhelyzeteinek összehasonlító elemzése

A tanulmány, a női és férfi 2021-es Európai Kézilabda Szövetség, Bajnokok Ligája (EHF BL) Final 4-ba jutott kézilabda csapatok mérkőzéseit vizsgálja. A kutatás célja, hogy megvizsgálja a női és férfi kézilabda csapatok támadó játékában megjelenő különbségeket, ezért a kapuralövések mennyiségi (lövések és a gólok száma) és hatékonysági mutatóit vizsgáltuk, különös tekintettel a tipikus támadó játékhelyzetekre, mint az átlövések, a szélről történő kapuralövések és a beállóból végrehajtott kapuralövések. Eredményeink alapján elmondható, hogy ezen a mintán közel azonos számban történtek kapuralövések és születtek gólok mindkét nem mérkőzésein. A női csapatok támadó játékának szerkezete kissé eltért a férfiakétól, mivel a férfiak nem lőttek jelentősen többet kapura a távoli zónából, ellenben szignifikánsan több kapuralövést kíséreltek meg beállóból, mint a női játékosok. A szélről történő kapuralövések módját tekintve, mindkét nem az erőteljesebb lövésekben bízott inkább, amelyben a férfiak jóval hatékonyabbaknak bizonyultak (a technikás megoldások nem voltak számot tevők egyik oldalon sem). A kutatás eredményeként megállapítottuk, hogy -bár időről időre a nők teljesítménye javul - a férfiak a megfigyelt technikai és taktikai változók tekintetében jobbnak bizonyultak.
Stratégiai és taktikai döntések tudománya a sakk sportágában
Authors: Sterbenz Tamás , Világi Kristóf , Koch Ágoston
Published: December 2023

A sakkozás egy szekvenciális, teljes információs kétszereplős játék, nincs bizonytalanság, a bábok képességei állandóak, a választható alternatívák pedig diszkrét változók. A sakk sajátosságai lehetővé teszik a sportág tudományos vizsgálatát. A sportban stratégián a győzelmi esély hosszú távú maximalizálását értjük a környezet és az erőforrások figyelembevételével, míg taktikának az adott versenyre, mérkőzésre a konkrét ellenfelekhez és körülményekhez igazított elképzeléseket nevezzük. Ettől eltérően a sakkozásban stratégiai játszmán a lassú, pozíciós elemeket kihasználó játékmódot értik, míg taktikán csak a konkrét, legtöbbször kényszerítő erejű áldozatokat is magában foglaló lépéssorozatot értik. A mesterséges intelligencia használata új tudás felismerését, teljesen új fogalmak bevezetését, az emberi tudáson alapuló stratégia gondolkodás megújítását ígéri, ezért a sporttudomány feladata is a szellemi sportágakban elért tudományos eredmények adaptálása.

Prepoznata važnost specijalističkog ispita UEMS EU
Authors: Kušec Vesna , Čikeš Nada
Published: December 2023

Razvijanje najviših standarda specijalističkog usavršavanja doktora medicine za područje Europe glavni je cilj Europske udruge liječnika specijalista (UEMS, fr. Union Européenne de Médicines Spécialistes), a što je i preduvjet usklađivanja izobrazbe specijalista i ostvarivanja podudarnih standarda zdravstvene skrbi u EU. UEMS je osnovan pred više od 60 godina udruživanjem nacionalnih liječničkih društava, a sadašnje članstvo čine 41 zemlja i 43 liječničke specijalizacije. U okviru ove institucije postoji duga tradicija provođenja specijalističkih ispita u zajedništvu s odgovarajućim stručnim društvom. Posebna radna skupina unutar UEMS-a ima savjetodavnu ulogu za organizaciju i ocjenu cjelokupnog postupka europskog specijalističkog ispita UEMS, a to je Council for Specialist Medical Assessment (CESMA). Svrha je ispita ocjena specijalističkih kompetencija, a sastoji se od pismenog ispita s pitanjima s više odgovora, ali i usmenog ispita s demonstracijom praktičnih vještina. Važan pristupni kriterij za ovaj ispit jest sadržaj specijalizantske knjižice (log-book). Certifikat (diploma) položenog UEMS ispita pokazatelj je izvrsnosti i napredak u karijeri kandidata te prestižan dokaz vrhunskih kompetencija specijalističke zdravstvene skrbi za zemlje članice EU-a, ali i ostatka svijeta. Mnoge su zemlje potpisale ugovor s UEMS-om i priznaju specijalistički ispit UEMS EU kao jednakovrijedan nacionalnom. Potrebno je istaknuti da certifikat položenog ispita UEMS EU nije licencija ili dozvola za rad. Na nacionalnoj razini certifikat UEMS EU pokazatelj je visoke kvalitete standarda specijalističke izobrazbe i tradicije specijalističkog usavršavanja u odgovarajućoj zemlji.
