A study on scientific production published in accounting journals in Brazil

The present study analyzes the characteristics of scientific productions related to teaching and research in accounting in Brazil, highlighting the most pertinent themes and their relevance to the evolution of accounting science. A descriptive research was carried out using the database available in Periodicals with classification “A2” to “B3”. In this sense, we sought to identify in this work the state of the art in the light of accounting science on research and teaching, in the period of eleven years. The profile of academic production in teaching was developed on the themes academic performance, perception of students of the Postgraduate Program in Accounting Sciences, Sufficiency Exam, Teaching Accounting Sciences, History of Accounting, Academic Competencies, Accounting Theory, Accounting Profession, Course of Accounting Sciences, Learning Styles, Curriculum Structure and PBL. The topics covered in the accounting research were: Management Accounting, Corporate Governance, Performance Evaluation, Auditing, Controllership, Budget, Cost Management, Management Accounting, Scientific Journal and Costs. The results showed that the journals that received the most publications on the subject studied were: Revista Educação e Pesquisa em Contabilidade and Revista Contemporânea de Contabilidade. Most of the articles are researches that used a quantitative approach, and the most frequent data collection instruments were: Survey/Research and Bibliometric Research, both in teaching and in research in the accounting area.

Effects of egg yolk extender on fertility of cooled donkey semen

Artificial insemination (AI) with cooled semen is largely used worldwide in horses with acceptable fertility rates and low costs. However, fertility data for cooled donkey semen is scarce. For cooled sperm preservation, donkey semen needs an adequate environment to protect the sperm from cold shock. A variety of extenders have been proposed for cooling, storage and transport of donkey semen in the last years but there are not enough fertility data. Only two previous studies reported a 26 to 40% per cycle pregnancy rate in jennies using cooled donkey semen. Effective protocols are essential to increase fertility and reproductive efficiency in commercial programs. The aim of this study was to determine per cycle pregnancy rate in jennies inseminated with cooled donkey semen using chicken egg yolk-based extender. Semen samples from one native Argentinian donkey stallion of proven fertility were diluted in Equiplus extender (Minitube, Tiefenbach, Germany) at 50 × 106 sperm/ml. One sample was used for AI with diluted fresh semen (G1), and the other two samples were cooled diluted in Equiplus (G2) and Equiplus with the addition of 1% chicken egg yolk (G3) in accordance with a previous report (Alonso. et.al. Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Research and Animal Science. 2021; 58: 40). Samples were cooled in Equitainer (Hamilton Biovet, MA, USA) for 24h. A total of eight adult and fertile nativeArgentinian jennies were randomly assigned to three groups and inseminated using a cross-over design with fresh semen (G1), cooled semen (G2) or cooled semen with chicken egg yolk (G3). Ovulation was induced using 1500 IU EV of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, Ovusyn, Zoetis) and insemination 24h post-induction with 500 × 106 progressive motile sperm calculated after cooling. Before AI, semen parameters such as volume, concentration, progressive motility, HOS test, and sperm vitality were assessed and at 24 hours after cooling no significant difference between semen extended in Equiplus or semen extended in Equiplus with egg yolk was detected. AI was performed with the technique described by Bragulat. et.al. (Journal of Equine Veterinary Science 113 2022; 13, 40). The interval between AI and ovulation was 12 to 24h and pregnancy diagnosis was performed by ultrasound 14 days post-ovulation. For statistical analysis, RStudio (RStudio, Inc., Boston, MA URL) (R Core Team, 2018) and the Q-Cochran test were used. The results show differences in pregnancy rates between G1 (75%; 6/8) and G2 (0%; 0/8) (p<0.05) but no differences were detected (p=0.5) between G1 (75%; 6/8) and G3 (50%; 4/8). In conclusion, based on our preliminary data, refrigerated donkey semen with egg yolk-based extender can be used for AI with similar pregnancy rates as fresh semen in jennies.

Brazilian Geographical Indications: A Map of Scientific Production from 1996 to 2022

ABSTRACT This research presents a map of 955 studies about Brazilian Geographical Indications from 1996 to 2022, built through Methodi Ordinatio. Our findings reveal that studies are mostly published in Brazilian journals; a super abundance of publications in three regions: Espírito Santo, Mossoró, and Vale do Submédio São Francisco; and that most studies are contained in the area of Natural Sciences. The apparent implication is that there has been a growing interest from Brazilian researchers on the topic, though there still are a considerable number of regions that have not been directly addressed. Our main contribution is the verification of a virtual absence of a central term to accommodate this extensive sample of studies in a common body of knowledge. We therefore suggest that authors poring over these products and regions consider including the term “Geographical Indication” either in the title, abstract, or keywords.

Uma nova base cienciométrica de publicações científicas em Revistas Brasileiras de Relações Internacionais (1997-2021)

Abstract In this article, we present a new dataset covering metadata on 14 Brazilian International Relations (BIR) journals and more than 5000 articles published between 1997 and 2021. We collected the data by harvesting the journals’ public web pages via web scraping and later cleaned and structured the information in a rectangular format. A complete understanding of the International Relations field in Brazil requires a deep analysis of the ecosystem of IR academic journals and engaging explicitly and exclusively with scientific articles published in such venues. But, as of today, scientometric analysis covering BIR is rare and limited, as primary indexing sources and popular databases do not fully cover Brazilian International Relations journals. By presenting and publishing the dataset we aim to overcome such a barrier and encourage further scientometric studies in the country.

Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável e relação com as pesquisas de Turismo:

The United Nations has made commitments to countries through the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Tourism is explicitly mentioned in four passages of the 2030 Agenda, but not in a central position. The aim of this article is to identify the presence, explicit or implicit, of the SDGs in scientific tourism journals in Brazil, in particular, it seeks to identify the most frequent SDGs. Main characteristics of the relationships built, research gaps and areas with greater concentration of knowledge were identified. Bibliometric analysis of articles published in the four main Brazilian tourism journals between 2018 and April 2021 was used, whose objectives of the articles were classified by their relationships with the SDGs through content analysis by independent judgments. Among the 396 articles analyzed, 43% are related to one or more SDGs: 8 (35%); 12 (25%); 16 (12%); 11 (10%); 14 and 15 (5%). It contributes to recognizing the SDGs as classification criteria and suggesting directions for future research.

Participation in health in the Americas: Bibliometric mapping of production, impact, visibility and collaboration

Participation in health has generated a large number of publications around the world. In order to know the specificities of this production in the Americas, a bibliometric analysis of articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese was carried out. Searches were carried out in the VHL, PubMed, SCOPUS, WOS and SciELO, consolidating a database with 641 references. With the help of the VOSviewer software, we analyzed citation patterns, co-authorship and the chronological distribution by countries and languages. It was possible to verify the growth of production, the quantitative relevance and the impact of the different countries. The analysis indicated that the USA concentrates the largest number of citations and Brazil, despite being the first in number of publications, is the third in number of citations. The same occurs with Brazilian journals that, with the largest number of articles, fall in the ranking of the most cited. The co-authorship analysis indicated that the University of Toronto, Fiocruz and Harvard University have the most formal collaborations with other organizations. We conclude that there are inequalities of impact, visibility and internationalization in this field, indicating obstacles to scientific development and health policies.

Serological ineptitude in blood banks: is there an association with sexually transmitted infections?

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a serious public health problem, and some of these infections are also transmitted through blood transfusions. Objective: To identify publications in scientific journals in Brazil and in the world showing if there is an important association between serological inadequacy due to sexually transmitted infections traced in blood and blood products used for medical use. Methods: Systematic review of articles published from 2018 to 2023, using the LILACS, SciELO and PubMed databases, with a concomitant approach to the issues of serological disability and STI. Original studies or review articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish with Brazilian and international data were included. Editorial publications, letter to the editor, letter from the editor or comments on the subject were excluded. Results: The search found 571 articles, of which 106 (18.40%) met the inclusion criteria, that is, Serological disability and STI. In studies with international data, the prevalence of donors with hepatitis C ranged from 0.12 to 4.8%; with hepatitis B, from 1.3 to 8.2%; with HIV, from 0.0021 to 2.5%; with syphilis, from 1.73 to 2.4%; with HTLV, 0.66%; and with Chagas disease, from 0.017 to 2.76%. Among articles with Brazilian data, the prevalence of donors with seroreactive tests for hepatitis C ranged from 0.18 to 1.76%; with hepatitis B, from 0.05 to 7.9%; with HIV, from 0.03 to 0.82%; with syphilis, from 0.37 to 3.51%; with HTLV, from 0.02 to 0.3%, and with Chagas disease, from 0.8 to 0.5%. Conclusion: STIs are rarely discussed in the scientific literature in studies on serological inadequacy. In addition, a minority of articles were with Brazilian data. However, results show that STIs, despite being little discussed in the scientific literature in studies on the subject of serological inadequacy, have statistically significant percentages of seropositivity for STIs. Moreover, hepatitis C and B have a relevant seroprevalence, reaching 8.2% and 4.8%, respectively, in the international scenario. In Brazil, hepatitis B continues to occupy a prominent place with a seroprevalence of up to 7.9%. However, syphilis now holds a very important role, with a maximum percentage of 3.51%. More studies are needed for further reflection: although STIs are little addressed in studies about serological inadequacy in human blood banks, would they contribute to the maintenance and non-reduction of the general frequency of infections transmitted by blood transfusion?

Alberta infant motor scale em pesquisas brasileiras: estudo bibliométrico

ABSTRACT The Alberta infant motor scale (AIMS) is an instrument for assessing the gross motor development of newborns, aged 0-18 months. This study aimed to summarize the Brazilian studies that used the AIMS and identify their objectives to know the main uses of the scale for professionals interested in child motor development. This is a bibliometric study on SciELO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The searched keywords were “Alberta infant motor scale” and “Brazil,” with their equivalents in Portuguese and united by “AND.” Inclusion criteria were: use of AIMS with children aged 0-18 months carried out in Brazil. The variables database, journal, year of publication, language, region of the institution linked to the authors, and type of study were analyzed in a descriptive quantitative manner. Content analysis was performed on the objectives described in the articles. In total, 79 articles were included and most of them had a cross-sectional design and were linked to institutions in the South and Southeast regions. Furthermore, most studies were from the last 10 years and in English. The journal Fisioterapia e Pesquisa was the Brazilian journal that most published studies of the sample. The analyzed objectives were distributed into six word classes, with two large groups: psychometric validity (19.1%) and evaluative studies (80.9%). The latter considered the various child populations analyzed. We presented studies that used the AIMS to evaluate the motor development of Brazilian children, reinforcing the importance of this instrument in the national context and also encouraging its use.

Black Feminism and Intersectionality in Brazilian Journals (1992-2020)

Resumo: Buscamos analisar a evolução da produção acadêmica brasileira sobre feminismo negro e interseccionalidade, no período de 1992 a 2020, por meio de uma análise bibliométrica e com raspagem de dados de artigos publicados em revistas das áreas de ciências sociais e humanas (A1, A2 e B1). Destacamos o impacto dos fluxos internacionais em difundir e adensar agendas de pesquisa sobre mulheres negras a partir dos anos 2000 e a importância de dossiês temáticos sobre gênero e raça em periódicos qualificados como mecanismo indutor para a ampliação da produção científica sobre as temáticas. Há um aumento contínuo de textos sobre tais questões a partir dos anos 2010, sugerindo que maior acesso de estudantes negros ao ensino superior e ampliação do debate público sobre interseccionalidade fora da academia possam estar gerando uma retroalimentação quanto ao interesse e à relevância do tema.

Tatuagem: um mapa rizomático de um tema de pesquisa

ABSTRACT To understand the dispersed interdisciplinary production on the topic of tattoos, we conducted a survey of the language of 35 articles published in Brazilian interdisciplinary journals from 1990 to 2020. From these articles, we developed four axes of analysis: tattoo as an inscription of the self, a creative and emancipatory power; the “B” side of tattoo; the interface between public health, dermatology and tattoo; and, lastly, the new generation of tattoo artists. We then present some considerations that apprehending tattoo as a discursive practice opens the doors of a labyrinth, whose exits do not exist and do not assure us a more liberated and emancipated contemporary subjectivity.

REVISTA BRASILEIRA DE MEDICINA DO ESPORTE: 10 ANOS DE INDEXAÇÃO NA WEB OF SCIENCE

ABSTRACT Analyses of scientific production have attracted the interest of researchers, as they help to control the quality of what is published, identify relevant themes, and, thus enable scientific advances. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the scientific production of the Brazilian Journal of Sports Medicine on the Web of Science database through a bibliometric analysis. The data were analyzed in relation to the publications, the authors, and the RBME. During the period of indexation on the Web of Science, which corresponds to the last decade, the RBME published 896 documents, most of which were original articles (801, 89.3%). The most cited keywords were exercise (117 studies), resistance training (37), and physical activity (34). Brazilian institutions had the highest number of publications, followed by Portugal and Spain, and there were also articles published in the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom. USP and UNESP were the institutions with the greatest number of publications in the RBME over the last decade. Ten different collaboration clusters were identified, with researcher Edilson Serpeloni Cyrino standing out with the largest collaboration network. The ten years of indexation on the Web of Science reveal the consolidation of the RBME on the international scene, which has resulted in increasing views of and citations from the studies published, as well as attracting researchers from institutions of other countries to publish their work. Level of evidence II; Review.
