RÉSUMÉDe nombreuses organisations europénnes soulignent ces temps-ci l'importance des conseillers et posent la question de leur professionalisation. Leur travail sert en effet aux gouvernements, aux entreprises, aux organismes de formation, autant qu'aux personnes demandeuses de conseils. Dans ce contexte, il est urgent d'harmoniser les formations des conseillers européens afin qu'ils proposent un service efficace et adapté. L'apprentissage tout au long de la vie conserne aussi les conseillers dont le travail devrait etre guidé par des principes éthiques et peut-être aussi par une instance de contrôle, ce qui néanmoins pose des problèmes en Allemagne, par exemple. Le présent article adresse un état des lieux de la question, insiste sur les points de convergence et de divergence entre les différents standards européens pour la qualification ds conseillers. Enfin, il présente des suggestions pour affermir et harmoniser ces standards, notamment en ce qui concerne la formation diplomante des coseillers, les standards éthiques et l'instance de contrôle professionnelle.RESUMENDiversos organismos europeos han reconocido la importancia del trabajo de los orientadores y plantean la cuestión de su profesionalización. En este artículo se defiende la necesidad de reflexionar sobre y proponer unos estándares de formación para los orientadores en Europa. Se justifica en primer lugar la importancia de la orientación profesional en el seno de la Unión Europea, patente en diversos documentos, declaraciones, informes, y/o programas; tales como la «cumbre de empleo» del Consejo de Europa para el Empleo, el Programa LEONARDO DA VINCI II, el informe de la ODCE sobre los jóvenes y la orientación profesional, o el Memorando de la Comisión Europea sobre el aprendizaje a lo largo de toda la vida, entre otros. Asimismo se argumenta que en la era de la globalización y la «interdependencia internacional» los problemas y retos educativos y profesionales a los que se enfrentan los ciudadanos europeos son muy similares, a pesar de las diferencias entre los distintos países. En segundo lugar se señalan los puntos de convergencia y divergencia entre los diferentes estándares europeos de formación de orientadores, y se presenta una propuesta concreta, con determinados contenidos estructurados en MODULOS formativos para capacitar a los orientadores en las tareas que mayoritariamente deben realizar para desempeñar su trabajo en un contexto trans-nacional. Por último, después de comparar a grandes rasgos la modalidad de formación de los orientadores entre diversos países europeos, se reflexiona sobre la adecuación o no de adoptar unos estándares europeos en la formación de sus profesionales de la orientación, su utilidad y las condiciones necesarias para que puedan realmente adoptarse, ofreciendo a la vez unas sugerencias para consolidarlos, básicamente en la formación continua o de postgrado.ABSTRACTSeveral European organizations acknowledge the importance of the work of guidance counsellors and raise the issue of their training and professional development. It is urgent to standardise the training of European guidance counsellors so that they can adequately meet the demands of their clients, who in spite of the differences among their countries, face similar problems regarding education and training. This  article  addresses  the  state  of  the  art,  insisting  on  the  points  of  convergence  and  divergence among the different sets of European qualification standards for guidance counsellors, and presents the contents of some training modules to deliver these standards. It concludes with some suggestions to consolidate and harmonise these standards, especially in relation to post-graduate training, and ethical standards.

Purpose. Robotic surgery is currently employed for many surgical procedures, yielding interesting results. Methods. We performed an historical review of robots and robotic surgery evaluating some critical phases of its evolution, analyzing its impact on our life and the steps completed that gave the robotics its current popularity. Results. The origins of robotics can be traced back to Greek mythology. Different aspects of robotics have been explored by some of the greatest inventors like Leonardo da Vinci, Pierre Jaquet-Droz, and Wolfgang Von-Kempelen. Advances in many fields of science made possible the development of advanced surgical robots. Over 3000 da Vinci robotic platforms are installed worldwide, and more than 200 000 robotic procedures are performed every year. Conclusion. Despite some potential adverse events, robotic technology seems safe and feasible. It is strictly linked to our life, leading surgeons to a new concept of surgery and training.

AbstractThe Leonardo da Vinci project entitled EViVE - European Values Vocational Education-LLP-LDV / PAR / 2013 / RO / 032), took place between September 2013 and July 2015. In this a project, professors from the Educational Sciences Department of the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu along with partners from Germany, France, Great Britain, Bulgaria and Turkey were involved. The project stages started with the detection of existing values in vocational education in each country. These values were compared afterwards with the values promoted by the European Union as a standard and in case they did not coincident, the common values in accordance with European values were transmitted. In order to ensure the teaching and learning framework of these values, there had to be accomplished a common curriculum, in which specific national features were inserted, exemplifying how these values can and must be taught. The taught lesson showed the importance of awareness of the teachers in teaching these values during the didactic process, as well as the importance that students, through means of education, have to internalize these values, in order to become fully trained Citizens of the United Europe.

The authors are currently responsible for the Day Hospital at the Psychiatric Service of the Department of Neurosciences, Psychiatry and Mental Health of the Hospital de Santa Maria, a large general and university hospital in Lisbon. They are the heiresses of a group of psychiatrists with group analytic training, who founded this Day Hospital and initiated its constitution in 1977, by adapting group analytic concepts to the treatment of patients in states of acute dis-compensation, as well as simultaneously investing in the post-graduate training of psychiatry and paedopsychiatry interns, psychologists and nurses. This training has been recently extended to medical students, on a regular basis. In Part I of this article, the authors will approach the importance of the senior technicians’ group analytic training, and of the essentially group functioning of the Day Hospital, as well as describe it, by characterizing the patients, the programme and the therapeutic and training tools of this therapeutic and training Unit, which is a reference in Portugal. In Part II, the authors will present a survey questionnaire that was elaborated with the aim of evaluating the training received during the 30 years of existence of this Unit. This questionnaire was sent to all the technicians who trained at the Day Hospital during the period between 1977 and 2007. The results will be presented as well as the conclusions of this research.

The article addresses the problem of teaching the course of history and philosophy of science. This course has been taught to graduate students of Russian universities for more than 15 years. But disputes over its content and expediency still do not subside, but only flare up with renewed vigor. Those disputes were in three directions. The author proposes to return to the discussion of the existing problems in each of the areas of criticism of postgraduate discipline. These are: 1) the content of the subject from the standpoint of the coordination of its historical and philosophical parts (What?); 2) pedagogical and methodological support of training (How?); and 3) the ultimate goals of postgraduate training in general (For what?). The questions “how?” and “ what for?” are included in a broader context – the formation of the competence of a future scientist, his readiness to solve complex and non-trivial scientific problems. Reflections outlined in the article are built into the overall picture of post-graduate training in universities that has developed to date. The author sums up his reflections by calling for non-stop communication in a mode of continuous “recursive adjoining”. Such a strategy, in his opinion, remains the most reliable means of highquality promotion of both teaching and training of graduate students in general.

During the years a number of different simulators have been developed for the welding community. These simulators have been targeted to different user groups and different technical level of the group itself. The technological quality has mostly been on a professional level, although the user friendliness, we must admit, may have a wide interpretation of the word “friendliness”. The use of mobile devices, pads and so forth, with other interface methods than the keyboard, that has appeared over the last years have given us new opportunities to define user interfaces that are completely different from what was possible before. This paper will discuss a work in progress for a simulation project development related to education and training, in two different projects, IWSD (Leonardo da Vinci project) and Green Weld (EEA Grant project), currently running in Romania and in Bulgaria.

Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century, used injection replica techniques to study internal surfaces of the cerebral ventricles. Developments in replicating media have made it possible for modern morphologists to examine injection replicas of lung and kidney with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Deeply concave surfaces and interrelationships to tubular structures are difficult to examine with the SEM. Injection replicas convert concavities to convexities and tubes to rods, overcoming these difficulties.Batson's plastic was injected into the renal artery of a horse kidney. Latex was injected into the pulmonary artery and cementex in the trachea of a cat. Following polymerization the tissues were removed by digestion in concentrated HCl. Slices of dog kidney were aldehyde fixed by immersion. Rat lung was aldehyde fixed by perfusion via the trachea at 30 cm H2O. Pieces of tissue 10 x 10 x 2 mm were critical point dried using CO2. Selected areas of replicas and tissues were coated with silver and gold and examined with the SEM.
