Technology Indicators

The main directions of the International Conference «STI 2017: Open indicators: innovation, participation and actor-based STI indicators» (Paris, 6-8 September 2017) were the following according to the author's opinion: survey of geographical features, patterns of the science development and a choice of adequate indicators to evaluate these features and patterns; as well as development of new methods for data processing, sharing, analysis and use to assess science and technology. As the conference was held in the format of 4 parallel sessions being carried on simultaneously, the author was compelled to choose the presentations closest to his interests, namely, presentations on scientometrics and related issues. Such a choice was not subjective, because the author being an employee of the Belarusian National Technical University Scientific Library, is engaged in evaluating research activity of scientific organizations and universities (which have long been regarded as an objective of research libraries by serious library specialists of Belarus and Ukraine), as well as of scientific periodicals, and therefore is most interested in information about indicators of research activity of scientific organizations and universities and, especially, about indicators of value and quality of academic periodicals. The presentations that the author has managed to listen to and the discussions that he participated in, transferred via this mini-review seem to be helpful in further bibliometric studies conducted in the Belarusian National Technical University Scientific Library and to be of an interest to the readers of the journal.

Resumen El análisis bibliométrico permite hacer un análisis retrospectivo del estado del arte de las producciones científicas de un área temática de interés, posibilitando los niveles de progresión de la investigación, enfocada particularmente a las determinaciones de frecuencia o interacciones de los actores. La finalidad del trabajo fue el análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica sobre la vida útil de masas y productos derivados del maíz, para esto se realizó un estudio descriptivo y cuantitativo de la producción científica contenida en la colección de la base de datos de Web of Science, mediante la aplicación de una ecuación de búsqueda en el periodo temporal 2001 al 2017; empleando indicadores bibliométricos de producción, visibilidad e impacto, relación y colaboración (Índice H); posteriormente se organizaron en las herramientas de BibExcel y VOSviewer e interpretaron mediante análisis de frecuencia. Como resultados, un total de 68 registros cumplieron con los criterios de la ecuación de búsqueda planteada. En el 2017 se presentó la mayor frecuencia de publicaciones, 14 documentos; mientras que en el 2009 presentó el mayor número de citaciones, 112 en total. De los autores más representativos y con mayor índice H se destaca Constantina Tzia, entre las principales instituciones participante las más relevantes fueron, Texas A&M University, Jiangnan University, National Technical University of Athens, Iowa State University y Sonora University y el país con mayor participación fue Estados Unidos. Se logró percibir que la principal revista para la divulgación del conocimiento en el tema fue Journal of Food Science and Technology-Mysore y el área de investigación fue Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos (Food Science Technology). Se concluye que a través de los años las publicaciones y las citaciones sobre el tema han incrementado, los principales estudios en vida útil relacionados con masas y productos derivados de maíz se han centrado en la nixtamalización del maíz, calidad e inocuidad de materias primas y productos procesados y en la estabilidad del maíz en almacenamiento.

The University

Research is considered a function aimed at obtaining new knowledge and its application for the solution to problems or questions of a scientific nature, The universities framed in the fulfillment of their social function have a complex task given by training a competent professional who assumes research as part of their training and who learns to ask questions that they are able to solve through scientific research.  Scientific research is an indicator of the quality of processes in the university environment, so it must be increased by virtue of the results of the work carried out by research teachers and students the objective of this work is to know the perception of the teachers of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Guayaquil about the scientific activity. Objective: to know the perception of the teachers of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Guayaquil about the scientific activity. Methods: theoretical and empirical level were used, a questionnaire with closed questions aimed at knowing the opinions on the research activity in this institution was applied. Result: that of the sample analyzed 309 (39.3%) said they agreed with the training for the writing of scientific articles. 38.6% said they agree with the training on research projects. Conclusion: that teacher’s research should be enhanced to ensure the formation and development of research skills in students.

By the growth regression approach, the research has identified that the investment capital contributed 1,939 and agricultural labor contributed 1,291 to the agricultural growth of An Giang province. More specifically, the contribution of TFP (Total Factor Productivity) to the agricultural growth in the period 2000 - 2004 was averagely 0,11%, in 2005 - 2010 was -5,03%, and in period 2011 - 2016 was 0,81%. The total factor productivity contributed to the agricultural growth slowly. In order to raise the contribution of TFP, the research represents 05 solutions including the increase of the effectiveness of using the investment capital, the increase of the quality of labor, the application of the science and technology into agricultural production, agriculturalrestructuring, and the increase of  agricultural demand.

Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely impacted the Italian healthcare system, underscoring a dramatic shortage of specialized doctors in many disciplines. The situation affected the activity of the residents in neurology, who were also offered the possibility of being formally hired before their training completion. Aims (1) To showcase examples of clinical and research activity of residents in neurology during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy and (2) to illustrate the point of view of Italian residents in neurology about the possibility of being hired before the completion of their residency program. Results Real-life reports from several areas in Lombardia—one of the Italian regions more affected by COVID-19—show that residents in neurology gave an outstanding demonstration of generosity, collaboration, reliability, and adaptation to the changing environment, while continuing their clinical training and research activities. A very small minority of the residents participated in the dedicated selections for being hired before completion of their training program. The large majority of them prioritized their training over the option of earlier employment. Conclusions Italian residents in neurology generously contributed to the healthcare management of the COVID-19 pandemic in many ways, while remaining determined to pursue their training. Neurology is a rapidly evolving clinical field due to continuous diagnostic and therapeutic progress. Stakeholders need to listen to the strong message conveyed by our residents in neurology and endeavor to provide them with the most adequate training, to ensure high quality of care and excellence in research in the future.
