La superación profesional de los directivos de las universidades médicas en la perspectiva ciencia, tecnología y sociedad
Introduction: the social impact of medical sciences universities is related to an adequate improvement of managers in science, technology, society and innovation, for a better management of university processes.
Objective: to assess the conceptual background, references and current trends of the professional improvement of the directors of medical universities from the perspective of science, technology and society.
Methods: a systematic review of the literature available in printed and electronic format in Spanish, English and Portuguese was carried out. The PRISMA 2020 Declaration, guide for systematic reviews, was taken into account for its preparation. A total of 39 full-text articles and documents were selected and no study synthesis methods were included (inclusion-exclusion criteria) because only the science, technology and society perspective in universities and in the improvement of managers is identified as an eligible study.
Development: in the literature, insufficiencies are reflected in the theoretical conception of the improvement of managers in universities of medical sciences. The most outstanding research recognizes the role of the university as a relevant actor for social development. The main publications focus the attention of academics particularly in Latin America and Cuba. It is considered that the improvement of managers is a key aspect for the achievement of an innovative university model.
Conclusions: the science-technology-society perspective, due to its contribution to the management of university processes, should be included in the improvement of the directors of the medical sciences universities.Introducción: el impacto social de las universidades de ciencias médicas se relaciona con una adecuada superación de los directivos en ciencia, tecnología, sociedad e innovación, para una mayor gestión de los procesos universitarios.
Objetivo: valorar los antecedentes conceptuales, referenciales y tendencias actuales de la superación profesional de los directivos de las universidades médicas en la perspectiva ciencia, tecnología y sociedad.
Métodos: se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura disponible en formato impreso y electrónico en idioma español, inglés y portugués. Se tuvo en cuenta para su elaboración la Declaración PRISMA 2020, guía para revisiones sistemáticas. Se escogieron un total de 39 artículos y documentos a texto completo y no se incluyeron métodos de síntesis de estudios (criterios de inclusión-exclusión) porque solo se identifica como estudio elegible la perspectiva ciencia, tecnología y sociedad en las universidades y en la superación de los directivos.
Desarrollo: en la literatura se reflejan insuficiencias en la concepción teórica de la superación de los directivos en las universidades de ciencias médicas. Las investigaciones más sobresalientes reconocen el papel de la universidad como actor de relevancia para el desarrollo social. Las principales publicaciones centran la atención de académicos en América Latina y Cuba en particular. Se considera que la superación de los directivos es un aspecto clave para el logro de un modelo de universidad innovadora.
Conclusiones: la perspectiva ciencia-tecnología-sociedad, por su contribución a la gestión de los procesos universitarios debe ser incluida en la superación de los directivos de las universidades de ciencias médicas
Conocimientos sobre la perspectiva Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad del personal administrativo docente para la gestión de procesos universitarios
Introducción: el personal administrativo con una visión de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad puede influir en las funciones universitarias con un enfoque social de la formación, investigación y extensión.
Objetivo: diagnosticar el nivel de conocimientos sobre la perspectiva Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad del personal administrativo docente de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Ciego de Ávila, Cuba.
Método: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo durante el año 2022 en dicha universidad donde la población estuvo conformada por 52 administrativos en funciones docentes (N=52). Se seleccionó una muestra de 34 por muestreo simple aleatorio (n=34). Se aplicó un cuestionario validado como método empírico para la recolección de la información. Se establecieron escalas de medición para variables cuantitativas.
Resultados: el diagnóstico reveló un bajo nivel de conocimientos sobre las definiciones de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (85 %, 69 % y 44 %, respectivamente). La mayoría del personal administrativo docente no reconoció los modelos que designan las relaciones Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad y consideró que no se posiciona la universidad médica como actor relevante para el desarrollo local (53 %). El 41 % refirió que casi siempre aparece la perspectiva Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad en los documentos normativos de los ministerios de Educación Superior y Salud Pública.
Conclusiones: se aportan evidencias sobre insuficiencias en los conocimientos por el personal administrativo docente sobre Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad y su uso en la gestión de los procesos universitarios. Se recomienda diseñar acciones de superación sobre la temática
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
