Science and Innovation Management: Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 9 as Challenges for Poland

This manuscript continues the series of research publications on Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 9 (SDGs 8 and 9). Innovations play an essential role in the global and national economies, as they contribute to the growth of economic productivity, the creation of new products, services, and jobs, and improve the quality of life. In the context of innovation, economy and artificial intelligence (AI) are the ideological and technological components of the innovation process. The authors hypothesized that the Polish system for assessing the importance of scientific economic journals is ineffective for social development and for creating an innovation-based economy. The research methods are a scientometric analysis of 795,070 scientific sources by the keywords “Economy” and “Artificial Intelligence”, a bibliometric analysis of 219,739 sources by the keywords “Economy”, “Economic productivity”, and “Innovation”, correlation analysis, and testing statistical hypotheses. The study led to the adoption of an alternative statistical hypothesis, which is a strong confirmation of the basic hypothesis. A new model for assessing the weight of scientific journals was created based on the existing system. Two management recommendations were formulated in the rules for determining the weight of journals. The high R2 value indicates that the new model effectively predicts the result. The correlation coefficient of the weight of journals in the new model is more than 98%. When verifying statistical hypotheses, a high significance level of 99.0 was used. The study’s practical significance is in the movement of Polish science to a leading place in the world market of scientific products.

Monitoring materialities: Anthropocene landscapes of environing technologies in the High North

An increased interest in Arctic regions as places of data generation to inform climate models, reports, and policies on environmental change has created a distinct kind of landscape, transformed by the material legacy of short and long-term monitoring and other scientific activities. Drawing from fieldwork in four key areas for environmental monitoring in the High North of Norway, Sweden, and Greenland, we investigate the intentional and unintentional materialities of environing technologies and other anthropogenic impacts that form a particular kind of Anthropocene landscape related to knowing global environmental change. We conclude that such distinctive monitoring landscapes contribute to work investigating shifting conceptualisations of heritage and the emergence of unintentional landscapes in the Anthropocene, and suggest that as co-creators of the global environment, they provide an interesting insight into the material legacies of natural scientific knowledge production.

Bibliometric Analysis of Spline Regression Model for Trend Mapping and Strategy Development Research Using Vosviewer

Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative method used to measure and analyze scientific literature. This technique involves the collection and analysis of publication data, such as journal articles, books, and conferences, to evaluate and understand patterns of scientific communication, research productivity, author collaboration, journal impact, and trends within a scientific field. Bibliometric analysis has a limitation in that it is challenging to visualize effectively, necessitating the use of software for proper visualization. Therefore, this article discusses bibliometric analysis on spline regression for trend mapping and strategy development using VOSviewer software. The research results show that the visualization of spline regression keywords with VOSviewer can help in understanding patterns of relationships between variables, research trends, and network structures in scientific literature. Based on the analysis results, bibliometric analysis on spline regression can be visualized in trend mapping, which can aid in planning further research strategies, including identifying collaboration opportunities and underexplored research areas.

Modern Bioeconomy Measurement in the Green Economy Paradigm: Four Pillars of Alternative Bioeconomy

The bioeconomic transition is not always seen as sustainable and environmentally friendly. In particular, it may contribute to increased global inequality, affect economic and social stability, and increase dependence on innovative biotechnologies that may be unaffordable for many countries. These issues are causing considerable controversy in the scientific community and require rethinking the balance between technology, ecology, and social justice. The motivation for this study was the need to provide a critical analysis of modern scientific production in order to find systematic evidence in the debate of the scientific community on bioeconomy. Therefore, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications from 2013 to 2023 from the Scopus database and identified scientific trajectories that contribute to the elimination of contradictions and debates around rethinking the balance of technological and environmental friendliness in the bioeconomic concept. The analysis of the publications has shown that the bioeconomy is actively integrated with the concepts of green and circular economies, but its impact on sustainability remains controversial. In particular, bioeconomic approaches can lead to environmental and social problems, such as depletion of bioresources and unequal access to biotechnology. Accordingly, four pillars of the alternative bioeconomy have been identified that can contribute to a more balanced development of this area.

Revealing the closeness of publication ties in scientific cooperation taking into account scientific productivity based on the Time-Weighted PageRank Method with Citation Intensity

The object of this study is the processes related to the assessment of the closeness of publication ties among scientists and taking into account their productivity related to scientific activity. This is necessary to increase the efficiency of management of research projects. To this end, the PR, TWPR, TWPR-CI methods for calculating scientific productivity estimates of scientists were described. In particular, the TWPR-CI method gives preference to those scientists whose works were more intensively published and cited during the last period of time, which is important for the formation of the composition of the executors of scientific research projects. The method for calculating the closeness of publication ties among scientists or average asymmetric tie strength was also described. The verification of dependence between the evaluation of the closeness of publication ties among scientists and their scientific productivity was carried out based on the analysis of the citation network of scientific publications and the network of scientific cooperation. The networks are built on the basis of the open access Citation Network Dataset (ver. 14). The dataset contains information on more than 5 million scientific publications and more than 36 million citations to them. The correlation analysis revealed the presence of a weak inverse relationship between these estimates. However, the weakness of the connection allows us to state that for this case there is no established correlation between the assessment of scientific productivity and the assessment of the closeness of publication ties. That is, the hypothesis that the weak connection between scientists makes it possible to increase the productivity and innovativeness of their publications was not confirmed. The results allow for a systematic approach to the process of evaluation and planning of the results of research projects, as well as the formation of the composition of their executors

China–US scientific collaboration on sustainable development amidst geopolitical tensions

This study aims to investigate whether growing geopolitical competition has affected international collaboration in sustainable development research, with a particular focus on structural changes in bilateral research collaboration between China and the United States. Three datasets have been created and compared using bibliographic information provided by the Web of Science core collection: before the Trump administration, during the Trump administration, and during the Biden administration. The results indicate that countries worldwide have conducted extensive research in sustainable development, and the United States, China, and the United Kingdom have produced the most publications, demonstrating a high level of scientific research productivity. Concerning the collaborative patterns of sustainable development research, China and the United States are each other’s largest collaborative partners. The intensity of scientific research collaboration between the two countries has not declined due to geopolitical tensions. Conversely, the intensity of scientific research between the two countries is still increasing. The keyword thematic explorations reveal that research on China–US collaboration has focused differently across the three time periods and that despite differences in research bias, efforts to contribute to advancing the achievement of the SDGs have been consistent. It is possible that geopolitical considerations have heightened the urgency of policy research and led to its incorporation into research centers.

Evolution of nanotechnology policy initiatives in the BRICS countries: a comparative overview

The article provides a comparative review of the national nanotechnology initiatives in the largest emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa - BRICS). It focuses on the influential role of state action, the evolution of the initiatives, institutional aspects, and a brief comparison of recent scientific production among the countries. Understanding the context of each country's nanotechnology STI policy is essential for comprehending the scope and the primary challenges faced in developing these programs and initiatives. The methodology involved rigorous bibliographical and documentary research, analysis of scientific production indicators, and the estimation of a nanotechnology Activity Index. The political and institutional complexity and socioeconomic adversities in emerging countries are challenging obstacles to promoting emerging technologies. Government perspectives and their role as technology inducers or fosterers significantly differ among countries, even when they are institutionally similar. Overall, the main nanotechnology initiatives in the BRICS countries have historically been led by the state, resulting in significant scientific advancements but limitations on the potential for innovation outcomes. Alongside institutional heterogeneity in the formulation and implementation strategies, geopolitics plays a crucial role in the initiatives' trajectory, especially in countries vying for international leadership against Western powers.

Tesis de grado: las temáticas de investigación. Carreras de Psicopedagogía en universidades nacionales

This article presents a systematization and analysis of graduate theses carried out from 2010 to 2022 in four national public universities, where only one aspect of them was considered: the title of the thesis.We understand graduate theses as authentic research works, where students demonstrate methodological skills and knowledge about their discipline. At the same time, they reflect the cognitive interests of each academic unit, since they are developed within the framework of training and are directed by their teacher-researchers.In this sense, we believe that it is significant to explore this type of work since it can contribute to the research-psychopedagogy relationship, and install the dialogue between the different scientific productions. Likewise, its results may be useful for decision-making in curriculum changes and to promote the development of new topics of study in the discipline's research groups.

HIV POSITIVE DIAGNOSIS AND THE REORGANIZATION OF LIFE

This article is the result of a qualitative study that aimed to understand how the lives of people living with HIV (PLHIV) were reorganized after at least one year of living with the disease. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with some generating questions preceded by characterization of the subjects. The methodology chosen for organizing the data was the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD), having as theoretical reference psychoanalysis and scientific productions related to the theme. The result refers to a thematic axis named “Subjective experience and adaptation from the disease”, which constituted three collective subject discourses (CSD), these were named by the central ideas (ICS): (1) resignification from the disease, (2) biopsychological repercussions of the diagnosis; and (3) silence with self-protection. It was concluded that there is not just one way to reorganize life from the diagnosis, but it is correct to state that the stigma of the disease has a direct influence on all subjects.

CHRONIC HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, MECHANISMS OF VIRAL PERSISTENCE AND TREATMENT OF THE CONDITION

Objective: The general objective of this study is to analyze the scientific production on chronic infection by the Hepatitis B virus, seeking to identify the main methods used in the treatment of this pathology. Methodology: This is a systematic review focused on understanding the main aspects that permeate chronic infection by the Hepatitis B virus. The research was guided by the question: “What are the main aspects that permeate chronic infection by the Hepatitis B virus, as well as what are the diagnostic and therapeutic resources used in clinical practice?”. To find answers, searches were performed in the PubMed database using five descriptors combined with the Boolean term “AND”. This resulted in 408 articles. Twenty-four articles were selected for analysis and 15 articles were used to compose the collection. Results: The eradication of hepatitis B depends on the combination of preventive and therapeutic efforts. The persistence of cccDNA in the liver, even after viral suppression, makes complete functional cure difficult. Antivirals such as entecavir and tenofovir are effective in reducing viral load, but they fail to eradicate the virus in most patients, requiring prolonged treatments. Furthermore, the variability in treatment responses, influenced by factors such as viral genotype and disease stage, highlights the need for personalized approaches to improve clinical management. In summary, despite advances, there are still important challenges to be addressed in the search for a cure for chronic hepatitis B. Conclusion: The systematic review highlighted the main aspects of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), emphasizing its challenges and advances in clinical management. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a serious public health problem, with complications such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Prevention strategies, such as universal vaccination and immunoprophylaxis, are effective in reducing vertical transmission, especially in newborns, but global adherence still needs to improve, especially in areas of high prevalence.
