This is a consolidated report on the work done in Intellectual Output One: Communication Challenges for the Advancing Inclusive Education Through International Sign - InSign project. This report combines and summarises the results obtained in national reports done by project partners from Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Portugal, and Slovenia. This document includes information on national sign languages, support for deaf people and their learning possibilities in different countries. In one section, we will review the status of International Sign in all the partner countries. We have also performed surveys done primarily with students to measure how they perceive deaf people, how they understand sign language and the difficulties deaf face in the education system. In this document, we analyse the data collected across the project partners. Each partner has also performed a guided interview with those most familiar with the deaf community (deaf themselves, educators, interpreters etc.) to help better understand the circumstances and answer some of the questions difficult to find in literature. The Consolidated Report summarises interview findings from national reports with the main takeaways.

In this paper some applications of intelligent systems are presented. In spite of all knowledge-based technologies, which have been proposed recently, the main driving power of "intelligent" approaches is still (and even increasingly) huge computational power of modern information technology, that is used to process vast amounts of data. Two main technologies of intelligent systems in medicine, both based on data processing and search, are thus optimization and machine learning. They are used for different kinds of medical problems: data mining, diagnosing, medical imaging and signal processing, planning and scheduling, etc. In the paper we summarize some of the most evident applications of this kind.
