Analysis Of Knowledge Production Research Articles

Active methodologies in Science Teaching: analysis of knowledge production in scientific articles between 2010 and 2019

Active methodologies emerged with the aim of bringing students to the center of the teaching and learning process, placing them in the condition of subjects of the educational process and having the teacher as a mediator. This article aimed to make a panorama the academic production scientific articles on active methodologies in Science Teaching published between 2010 and 2019. The research revealed that all the authors of the articles were linked to Brazilian educational institutions, and that the majority worked in the North region. Two active methodologies stood out: problem solving and hybrid teaching. In carrying out their research, the authors used various means to propose activities anchored in active methodologies, with emphasis on the use of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication. Diverse contents of Science were worked, with a prevalence for issues involving environmental problems and themes related to the health area.

Nursing care for the Amazon population: knowledge production and human resource development.

to analyze knowledge production adherence from a master's course in nursing in the Amazon to care and health demands in the region, with an emphasis on neglected tropical diseases and traditional populations in the Amazon. a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach and documentary basis, analyzing dissertations defended in a Graduate Program in Nursing at the Universidade do Estado do Pará in association with the Universidade Federal do Amazonas, from 2012-2019. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. of the 105 dissertations analyzed, 30 (28.6%) were related to neglected tropical diseases. Of these, 11 (10.5%) dealt with Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, tuberculosis, malaria, and leprosy. Traditional populations in the Amazon participated in only 11 (10.5%) studies. knowledge production in a master's course has adherence to care and health demands in the region; however, it needs to enhance its production to strengthen its identity.

Meaningful Transfer: Tech-Knowlogical Interdependencies in the Digital Built Environment

This paper engages with ideas of tacit and explicit knowledge, how it is created, transferred, and ultimately translated in contemporary discourses of the digital built environment. The aim is to open a more critical and original dialogue in the digital built environment by (a) interrogating digital innovation as it strives to utilise relatively distilled information to enhance the sustainable design, construction and operation of the built environment and wider urban areas, (b) representing the rights of those whose knowledge is created and transferred in the digital built environment and (c) by further understanding the context of knowledge creation, and thus maximising its potential for scaling up sustainability objectives. The paper considers the conceptual and methodological tools that may help to focus more novel analysis of knowledge production and transfer in the digital built environment. The paper considers three conceptual positions that have hitherto been considered either in isolation or only tangentially connected to each other: (1) Science and Technology Studies (STS), in order to understand how society and technology is intertwined and importantly to form a meaningful backdrop for engagement with knowledge; (2) Organisational Theory (OT) and the concept of “pipelines,” in order to understand how organisations—and more broadly cities—can meaningfully capture and utilise knowledge when transitioning to digitally enabled sustainable futures; (3) Aspects of Actor Network Theory (ANT), in order to understand how knowledge travels and gets translated and institutionalised in new domains. Furthermore, we also use the same conceptual positions to argue how following knowledge can help individuals and society navigate the digital built environment. Our findings suggest that smart technology is a “social prosthesis,” and only works because humans make up for its deficiencies.

Empire and information: the French Ministry of the Navy and Madagascar (1767–1819)

Abstract This article discusses the question of how the history of administrative knowledge about distant world regions should be written. It analyses which intelligence was processed about Madagascar in the eighteenth century, and links the analysis of knowledge production about a specific world region with the colonial policy toward this region. A study of the texts written about Madagascar gives us insight into the ways the Ministry of the Navy ‘learned’ about the Indian Ocean colonies it took over from the Compagnie des Indes after the Seven Years War. This essay departs from the recent critique to the ‘colonial machine’ thesis, according to which the Ministry of the Navy could hardly take into consideration the great amount of information produced by officials in overseas. It contends that the commis of the Ministry did indeed read the letters from colonial officials, summarised their content for the minister, and proposed policies based on these information. However, while the propositions and claims of overseas officials clearly counted, this does not necessarily mean that the information received from overseas enabled the Minister of the Navy and their commis to design policies adapted to the reality on the spot. The case of writings about Madagascar shows why colonial policies might be built on wrong assumptions even when intelligence from overseas was taken into consideration. The article enhances particularly six factors that impacted information production: the degree of centralisation of the empire, the number of informers, patronage relationships, aristocratic sociabilities, the use of memoranda, and the Enlightenment.

The authorial book is divided into five chapters and concentrates discussions on the Political Sociology of Sport, addressing it from the different perceptions of sport to the emergence of the area in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition to this context, the analysis of knowledge production that has been developed.

A world-systemic analysis of knowledge production in international communication and media studies: the epistemic hierarchy of research approaches

ABSTRACT In this present paper, we analyse the geopolitical distribution of different research approaches represented by the published papers in all the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) journals in communication. The article argues that an analysis of this kind is necessary if a clear picture of the complex pattern of power relations in global knowledge production within communication scholarship is needed. Our empirical evidences show that the global core publishes theoretical and quantitative papers in a proportionally greater extent than the global periphery, but while in 1997 the centre’s contribution was proportionally greater in theorising and in quantitative research than the contribution of the periphery, the latter’s contribution in theorisation slightly raised by 2017.

Transsexuality and education: analysis of knowledge production in education periodic of capes (2012-2016)

An Operational Framework for an Online Community Based on the Commons, Dissensus and Shared Knowledge

In this article, we introduce a dissensual knowledge production mechanism for the creation and governance of the commons. Rather than seeking a singular truth which is a social construct, producing a bricolage of truths by citizen associations or communities opens up new perspectives for the commons and democracy. Taking an online community as a case study, we analyze knowledge production and sharing mechanisms, and conflict generation and resolution processes, using simple statistics, text mining, disagreement hierarchy, community guidelines, and group rules. We use the conclusions drawn from these techniques in the Institutional Analysis and Development framework. Superposing our findings and critical reading of current best practices, we define the four main principles as the operational framework for an online community based on the commons, dissensus, and shared knowledge: distributed versioning, layering, inclusion, and self-determination.

Espejos y espectrógrafos entre Chile y California. Reflejos de la circulación astronómica a comienzos del siglo XX

En 1903, despues de un largo viaje por el Oceano Pacifico, una expedicion del Observatorio Lick se instalo en Santiago de Chile, y construyo un observatorio gemelo al que tenian en California. A traves de la moderna tecnica de la espectrografia, el objetivo era medir las velocidades radiales de las estrellas australes y asi intentar comprender la estructura del universo. Uno de los objetos mas preciados de la expedicion era el conjunto de espejos del equipo astronomico, que se situan como instrumentos cientificos pero tambien como metaforas que orientan el analisis de la produccion de conocimiento, del rol de las identidades colectivas y de las similitudes geograficas. En este articulo se busca reconstruir parte de la historia de esta expedicion a partir de sus espejos, y asi comprender como se generaba parte de la circulacion cientifica a comienzos del siglo XX, a traves de los reflejos entre dos lugares espacial y culturalmente distantes.

Sociology of Knowledge and Production of Normative Power in the European Union’s External Actions

The article focuses on the entanglement between the EU’s attempts to construct its external actions in global politics and research on the EU as a global actor. The article argues that both the development of EU external actions and the sociology of knowledge production surrounding the analysis of these actions suffer from unnecessary dichotomisation. Advocates and analysts of the EU’s normative power have argued that the separation of norms and interests, both in terms of policy-making and policy analysis, is impossible. In contrast, advocates and analysts of the EU as a ‘normal power’, a great power pole in the coming multipolar world, have dichotomised the advocacy of policy-making and the analysis of knowledge production of EU external actions. The article sets out, through an examination of the interlinking of policy-making and policy analysis, how such false dichotomies weaken the sociology of knowledge about the EU and the production of the EU’s external actions. The article uses an analytical means of illustrating the deep interdependencies between the sociology of knowledge and production of the EU’s external actions. This application illustrates how ideas about external actions are spread from the study of normative power to other normative frameworks, and from analysts to policy-makers in the field of EU external actions. The article concludes that strategic dichotomisation and social diffusion are integral to the social sciences and the production of European integration in making Europe ‘normal’.

A Sociologically Informed Ethics of American Science Literacy: Toward a Transdisciplinary Understanding

This paper reexamines the ethics of improving public knowledge about science and technology, or science literacy. Rather than reproduce the core themes of the large body of literature on this topic over a number of decades, this paper uses National Science Foundation’s Science and Engineering Indicators for the 10-year period 2002-2012 to inform a transdisciplinary analysis of knowledge production, and kinds of science knowledge produced. In particular, the paper highlights the need to identify different sub-publics, understand their value systems and the socio-cultural contexts in which they operate, and how these publics are not simply passive consumers of knowledge, but are themselves co-producers and appliers of science related knowledge. The paper thus argues for an ethics of scientific literacy that takes account of knowledge production beyond disciplinary and interdisciplinary frameworks, and uses this understanding to foster an authentic deliberative partnership of engagement.

Teorier om fred og harmoni: viden, magt og kontroversen om Kinas opstigning

This article maps the emergence and development of Chinese discourses about China’s rise in international politics. It examines how the production of knowledge, particularly theories on international relations and grand strategy, develop in their travels between the scienti c and political as well as the international and national. Taking its point of departure in the sociology of science, the article sets out to understand the interplay between social, political, and intellectual conditions for knowledge production in today’s Interna- tional Relations (IR) research in China. Contrary to the conventional notion that Chinese social science is determined by political preferences, the paper argues 1) that the ideal of (pure) science and (dirty) politics as two separate spheres is di cult to sustain in the empirical analysis of knowledge production (in China and elsewhere) and 2) that more often than not important policy ideas and theories, such ‘Peaceful Rise’, the ‘Chinese School’ or ‘Harmonious World’ have emerged from a productive relationship between science and politics. e analysis of Chinese IR discourse shows that Chinese scholars and experts might play a more in uential role in the formulation of foreign policy concepts than usually assumed.

The global physical inactivity pandemic: an analysis of knowledge production

In July 2012, The Lancet announced a pandemic of physical inactivity and a global call to action to effect change. The worldwide pandemic is said to be claiming millions of lives every year. Asserting that physical inactivity is pandemic is an important moment. Given the purported scale and significance of physical inactivity around the world, this research examines how the pandemic is rhetorically constructed and how various solutions are proposed. We apply a governmentality perspective to examine the continuity, coherence and appropriateness of ideas about physical activity. The analysis demonstrates that within The Lancet, there is disunity about what is known about physical activity, problematic claims of ‘abnormality’ and contradictions in the proposed deployment of a systems approach to solve the problem. The article concludes by suggesting that as knowledge produced about physical activity grows, scholars need to beware of nostalgic conceptions of physical activity, account for the immense diversity of lived experiences which do not abide by idealistic recommendations and consider more rigorously contentious claims about physical activity programme effects.

Subcutaneous administration technique of low-molecular-weight heparins: An integrative review

Anti-coagulant drugs for subcutaneous injection, like low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH), are increasingly used to prevent and treat thromboembolic events, with local adverse reactions. The aim in this integrative review was to identify and analyze knowledge production about the most appropriate SC injection technique of LMWH to reduce hematomas, bruising and local pain. The following inclusion criteria were used: papers published in English, Spanish and Portuguese; between the first week of August 2001 and the last week of August 2012. Papers in which LMWH was compared with unfractionated heparin in the assessment of the outcomes and papers without statistical data analysis were excluded. The searches were undertaken in the electronic databases PubMed/MedLine, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS/IBECS. The quality of the articles was assessed with the critical appraisal tool JBI MAStARI. The incidence of bruising ranged between 20%, when the application time of the injection was 30s, and 88.9% when it took 10s. In 50% of the studies, the authors concluded that LMWH injections taking 30s caused lower levels of bruising, with statistically significant differences, as well as a reduction in pain intensity in the injection site by up to 50%. The group that received LMWH through a prefilled syringe, with or without aspiration, showed lower levels of bruising. The formation of a skinfold, the 90º angle and the abdomen as the application site have been well documented in the literature. These findings are important for clinical nursing practice, as they found the elaboration of evidence-based care protocols and contribute to the improvement of patient care quality.

Análise epistemológica dos estudos de conclusão de curso nos programas de Pós-Graduação com Doutorado do Brasil

OBJETIVOS: Analisar a produção de conhecimento voltada à área de fisioterapia vinculada aos trabalhos de conclusão da Pós-Graduação: Mestrado e Doutorado. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS:Este estudo descritivo usou o método nomeado análise de conteúdo com as seguintes categorias de análise: disciplina e palavras-chave. Foram analisados nos estudos os descritores com ocorrência maior que cinco vezes, de acordo com a frequência observada no programa TextSTAT. A partir desses critérios foram selecionados os seguintes programas: Ciências da Reabilitação da Universidade de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Fisioterapia da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) e Ciências da Reabilitação da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Foram analisadas as produções disponíveis na internet desses programas de Pós-Graduação. RESULTADOS:Foram registrados 219 trabalhos de conclusão de curso, nos quais Ortopedia foi a disciplina mais prevalente, seguida de Respiratória e de Pediatria. Quanto aos descritores, o exercício físico teve maior destaque, seguido de idoso, fisioterapia e marcha. CONCLUSÃO:Ao analisar parte da produção de conhecimento voltada à área de fisioterapia, destaca-se a ocorrência da disciplina "Ortopedia", refletindo maior produção científica, já que essa é a área de maior atuação profissional. Os trabalhos podem ser caracterizados como unidirecionais, englobando geralmente uma área do conhecimento e não dando abertura para diferentes visões sob o mesmo aspecto. Além disso, existe forte ausência de estudos visando ao aspecto social, sendo que estes praticamente não existiram nos estudos analisados.

The search for excellence in Brazilian Nursing knowledge dissemination

Nursing is a knowledge area whose representations are occupying different spaces in Brazilian and international institutions. These representations are based on the advancement of the profession in terms of the quality of its scientific production, excellence in human resource training and defense of the population’s human rights. Research development, especially in recent decades, highlights Nursing, as illustrated by the excellence of its graduate programs, projects funded by support agencies, the quality of its research products and results, besides representations in Brazilian and international entities, among others.New challenges have been included in the Nursing agenda though. The analysis of knowledge production shows that existing studies, in line with scientific development stages, are predominantly descriptive, which allowed researchers to get to know phenomena of interest to the profession. The growth of Brazilian graduate programs and advances achieved in terms of knowledge production have also made Nursing researchers explore other factors related to the phenomena nurses research on.Current trends in Nursing research are increasingly oriented towards the explanation, forecasting and control phases of phenomena, seeking strong scientific evidence to support care actions. These challenges can partially explain the difficulties researchers are facing to have their manuscripts accepted in high-impact journals. Bottlenecks include problems related to sample representativeness, instruments validated for the culture of the country of origin, mastery of the language the manuscript will be published in, among others. On the other hand, themes of national or regional interest, of high social relevance, are accepted in Brazilian journals only. Thus, Brazilian researchers are facing difficulties to disseminate knowledge through publication in high-impact journals.In that sense, the expand research excellence in Brazilian Nursing, investments are needed in internationalization as one route for researchers’ complementary education at foreign colleges, in the increased qualified demand for projects submitted to funding agencies to get resources for research development, in the insertion of undergraduate Nursing students into scientific initiation programs, so as to identify potential talent for academic work, in permanent research training through collaborative work with researchers from other Brazilian researchers and abroad, and in graduate programs that offer the tools needed for scientific and technological knowledge development, significantly contributing to the country’s development

A produção do conhecimento em fonoaudiologia em comunicação suplementar e/ou alternativa: análise de periódicos

TEMA: a Fonoaudiologia vem utilizando os recursos da Comunicação Suplementar e/ou Alternativa (CSA) para proporcionar maior autonomia a pessoas com limitações significativas da linguagem oral. Seu uso vem lentamente se expandindo no Brasil, mas ainda não constitui prática de amplo conhecimento na área da Fonoaudiologia. OBJETIVO: analisar a produção do conhecimento acerca da CSA publicada em periódicos especializados da área da Fonoaudiologia, no período entre 1997 e 2005. CONCLUSÃO: chega-se à conclusão que um panorama mais completo da produção científica em CSA se faz necessário com uma futura análise da produção do conhecimento acerca da CSA em outras áreas que desenvolvem estudos sobre essa temática, como na Pedagogia, Terapia Ocupacional, Fisioterapia, Psicologia, dentre outras.

The Wiki Defense: Contesting the Status of Knowledge in the Floyd Landis Doping Case

This theoretical essay applies active audience theory, convergence theory, and contemporary understandings of Web logs to an analysis of knowledge production in the antidoping movement. Using the Floyd Landis doping case as an example it examines how cycling fans and other interested parties used Internet sites such as wikis and blogs to mount a challenge to the hegemony of institutional knowledge produced by organizations such as the World Anti Doping Agency and Union Cycliste Internationale. The essay concludes that Landis’s so-called wiki defense—based as it was on popular challenges to received knowledge—was a successful contestation of normative procedures and institutional authority in the prosecution of doping allegations in international sport.

A educação para quilombolas: experiências de São Miguel dos Pretos em Restinga Seca (RS) e da Comunidade Kalunga de Engenho II (GO)

As comunidades quilombolas brasileiras foram reconhecidas pelo governo na publicação do Artigo 68, no ADCT, Constituição de 1988, que, ao garantir-lhes a posse de terra, evocou questões socioeconômicas, espaciais, jurídicas e culturais, trazendo a representatividade dos quilombos à sociedade. Ao observar a escola em São Miguel dos Pretos/Restinga Seca (RS) e Engenho II, território Kalunga/Cavalcante (GO), se quer ver o processo de construção de conhecimento no quilombo. Há diferenças e semelhanças importantes na relação escola-espaço quilombola gaúcho e goiano, e, na análise, considere-se a relação da produção de conhecimento dentro e fora da instituição escolar. Torna-se importante um novo olhar sobre a inserção do povo negro no sistema escolar, seja como receptor do conhecimento institucionalizado, seja como produtor da construção desse conhecimento. A história do negro, colocada à margem do processo histórico do país, reduz a importância do afrodescendente no processo civilizatório brasileiro.

Living the burden in becoming a family caregiver for a cerebrovascular accident survivor: knowledge analysis

This bibliographical research aims to carry out a thematic analysis of knowledge production in periodicals, about the burden placed on family caregivers of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) survivors. The analysis gathered articles found in the 80 and 90, through the Medline, Lilacs and Cinahl databases. The content analysis was the methodological background that enabled us to organize the whole knowledge into a body of categories and subcategories, called: Category 1 - The sequels of the CVA creating burden, Category 2 - Aspects generating burden, covering the following subcategories: social isolation, marital changes and dissatisfactions, family caregivers' financial difficulties and deficits in their physical health and self-care, Category 3 - Other analyses about burden in CVA survivorś family caregivers.
