The European Board of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine : the past, the present and the future [Europejska Rada Medycyny Fizykalnej i Rehabilitacji: przeszłość, teraźniejszość i perspektywy]

Right from the beginning of the development of the medical specialty of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) the harmonization of the fields of competence and the specialist training across Europe was always an important issue. The initially informal European collaboration was formalized in 1963 under the umbrella of the European Federation of PRM. The European Academy of PRM and the UEMS section of PRM started to contribute in 1969 and 1974 respectively. In 1991 the European Board of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (EBPRM) was founded with the specific task of harmonizing education and training in PRM in Europe. The EBPRM has progressively defined curricula for the teaching of medical students and for the postgraduate education and training of PRM specialists. It also created a harmonized European certification system for medical PRM specialists, PRM trainers and PRM training sites. European teaching initiatives for PRM trainees (European PRM Schools) were promoted and learning material for PRM trainees and PRM specialists (e-learning, books and e-books, etc.) was created. For the future the Board will have to ensure that a minimal specific undergraduate curriculum on PRM based on a detailed European catalogue of learning objectives will be taught in all medical schools in Europe as a basis for the general medical practice. To stimulate the harmonization of national curricula, the existing postgraduate curriculum will be expanded by a syllabus of competencies related to PRM and a catalogue of learning objectives to be reached by all European PRM trainees. The integration of the certifying examination of the PRM Board into the national assessment procedures for PRM specialists will also have to be promoted.

Metric Short Course for the Office of Bridges and Structures, HR-378, 1995

This metric short course was developed in response to a request from the Office of Bridges and Structures to assist in the training of engineers in the use of metric units of measure which will be required in all highway designs and construction after September 30, 1996 (CFR Presidential Executive Order No. 12770). The course notes which are contained in this report, were developed for a half-day course. The course contains a brief review of metrication in the U.S., metric units, prefixes, symbols, basic conversions, etc. The unique part of the course is that it presents several typical bridge calculations (such as capacity of reinforced concrete compression members, strength of pile caps, etc.) worked two ways: inch-pound units throughout with end conversion to metric and initial hard conversion to metric with metric units throughout. Comparisons of partial results and final results (obtained by working the problems the two ways) are made for each of the example problems.

Martínez Maza, Clelia, Hipatia. La estremecedora historia de la última gran filósofa de la Antigüedad y la fascinante ciudad de Alejandría, La Esfera de los Libros, Madrid, 2009, 378 páginas. ISBN: 978 84-9734-824-9

El estreno de la película Ágora de Alejandro Amenábar en octubre de 2009 puso nuevamente de moda la figura de la célebre filósofa y matemática Hipatia (a quien en rigor deberíamos llamar Hipacia) y generó la aparición de un gran número de monografías, novelas y artículos de todo tipo acerca de su figura. De entre toda esta producción destaca el libro de Clelia Martínez Maza, profesora titular de Historia Antigua de la Universidad de Málaga. Como pone de manifiesto su producción científica, la autora es una gran conocedora del fenómeno religioso y de los conflictos sociales vividos durante la Antigüedad tardía, algo que también puede observarse en la presente obra. Nos hallamos ante una monografía de divulgación culta, como manifiesta la abundante documentación que la autora maneja, aunque el libro carezca de notas tanto al final del volumen como a pie de página, algo normal en estos casos.
