Objective: This study sought to identify the studies on Material and Sterilization Center carried out by nurses and published in highly qualified Brazilian journals (A1, A2, B1, and B2 according to the Qualis system). Methods: this descriptive, retrospective, bibliometric study with a quantitative approach was performed by selecting scientific articles published in highly qualified Brazilian journals from 1973 to 2017. Results: considering the 286 articles identified, 108 met the inclusion criteria. There was a predominance of articles having Graziano as one of the authors (18.52%), evaluation of sterilization quality as the object of study (24.08%). Also, most articles employed a quantitative approach (58.33%) and selected the nursing team as the target population (51.85%). Conclusion: the scientific production on Material and Sterilization Center has advanced in the last decades in Brazil. Nevertheless, there is a need to conduct further research on this subject, especially involving good practices and technological advances available in this field.

 

 

This study seeks to present how the dimensions of logistics and urban mobility in the context of smart city have been addressed. For this, a literature review was carried out through a bibliometric analysis in scientific productions in the web of science database, with a quantitative analysis of the data, followed by a content analysis. A total of 572 international articles were used in the period between 2007 and 2017. The main results indicate a growth in smart city-related publications related to logistics and urban mobility from 2015 onwards with 114 publications, being more evident in 2016 with 212 publications. The analysis also revealed that many of the articles identified are strongly associated with aspects of urban mobility and sustainability, and little about the essence of logistics, identifying a scientific gap for the development of future research associated with smart city approaches and logistics.

 

 

The objective of this article was analyzed as it configures the field of publications on public sphere. The research was developed as a bibliometric study through the Web of Science database. In summary, the study shows that the field of publications in the public sphere is interdisciplinary, broad and still growing, especially since the 1990s. It was found that besides the author of the most cited article, the philosopher Jurgen Habermas appears as a main bibliographical reference of the field, even with a diversity of criticisms. As relevant on the intellectual basis still appears Fraser (1992) and Calhoun (1992). The results of this work may guide and support new theoretical discussions and empirical researches, including those on economic, social and political processes in Brazilian courses – and contribute to the research fields of public administration and social management.

 

 

This article presents a bibliometric review of the pyrolysis process of two types of polymers: polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS), to identify the necessary conditions to optimize the pyrolysis process, guaranteeing the majority production of the gaseous product with the aim of carrying out a second process, the growth of carbon nanostructures. Gaseous precursors such as methane, acetylene, and ethylene are essential hydrocarbons for the growth of said nanostructures, of which a variety of single-walled, double-walled, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, DWCNTs, and MWCNTs) stand out according to the literature and carbon nanofibers (CNFs). In this work, an analysis of the most relevant conditions is carried out to optimize the polymer pyrolysis process, that is, to reduce the temperature and reaction times to improve the composition of the products obtained from the pyrolytic process. Finally, the most relevant reports of the pyrolysis of the polymers exposed in the literature are disclosed.

 

 

The metrology area is responsible for measurement properties and is present in the market through services related to calibration, standardization, maintenance, measurement traceability, and certification. While there is a demand from metrology companies for efficient methods of managing the quality of their services and operations, lean culture encompasses the most important management techniques with applications in various segments. Considering the aspects that permeate these two areas, the question arises about a possible intersection between the demands of companies and metrology laboratories to remain competitive and certified in the market and benefits provided by lean culture. Thus, this paper performs a systematic review, according to the PRISMA protocol, in order to verify if there is an intersection between lean and metrology in the scientific literature. Through bibliometric and qualitative analyses, the research shows a gap of application with a lack of articles in this area, as well as a great potential of places and tools to be implemented.

 

 

The evaluation of science based on bibliometric indicators can generate greater visibility for the science of the peripheries or build and sustain peripheral situations in the scientific system. This article reflects on the center-periphery binomial in science, the division between mainstream and peripheral science, and the use of indicators to evaluate of peripheral spaces. It discusses the limited scope of mainstream science metrics to evaluate of peripheries and the need to adapt the indicators to the fields and contexts where phenomena occur, recognizing the objectives of science and technology systems. It concludes by pointing out the main challenges of science evaluation in peripheral spaces, putting putting emphasis on the creation of data sources most representative of the science of these countries and on the search for more inclusive indicators, with a plural and contextual approach capable of representing more broadly the peripheral science.

 

 

Flourishing at work has been shown to be a promising field for research, as it is linked to the individual’s notions of well-being. Florescer refers to the understanding that individuals at work enjoy the good life, reach their full development and have greater perceptions of quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the current panorama of international scientific production on flourishing at work, proposing a research agenda. From a combination of a systematic literature review with a bibliometric analysis, 42 articles were found that deal with the individual flourishing in the work environment. The analyzes were divided into bibliometric indicators and content indicators, showing an evolution of the field from 2005 onwards and three clusters of research traditions were found: flourishing and dimensions of well-being, well-being and engagement at work. In addition, research gaps were identified, which allowed the design of an agenda. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

 

 

The quality of education is measured by educational indicators, which are part of the evaluation process and are interesting to identify trends and the evolution of publications. The objective of the present work is, therefore, to present bibliometric indicators on the theme “education evaluation”. To do this, a survey was carried out at the Scopus database, to identify the main authors, institutions, periodicals and areas that publish the most about the topic. The number of articles has been growing gradually, with the United States, the most researching country in this area. It has been verified that Brazil has also presented steady growth, especially considering the last years. Despite this quantitative increase in the number of publications of Brazilians, the country has not been effective in the indicators of quality of education, which deserves discussion. Therefore, it is expected that this work can bring reflections, discussions and promotion on the evaluation of education in Brazil and, consequently, its quality

 

 

This article presents an analysis of the journal HISTORIA Y MEMORIA as a means of communication and scientific publication in the area of social history, it’s development and its insertion in the academic community in this field. The starting point is a reflection on the editorial trajectory in the field of social history in which memory is a substantial referent of analysis for historians because it allows for the understanding other problems, other actors, other scenarios, and, above all, other sources; all this, in order to understand the voices of the invisible, the marginalised and other groups that have remained anonymous. This reflection is based on a bibliometric analysis in which themes, authors, as well as the connection and origin of the authors is evaluated, until the point of understanding how the journal, in its 9 years of existence, has managed to position itself in the field of historical knowledge in Colombia and in an international context.

 

 

The uncertainty generated by United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union is an unprecedented historical event, which has led to an atmosphere of discord within and outside the economic block, especially for migrants, due to the consequences unleashed by Brexit. The literature review was based on a scientific mapping on the influence of European migrants, approached from the Brexit and the consequences, trends and migration policies. The Scopus database was used in the period 2015-2021, by means of bibliometric tools and RStudio, the topic was reviewed based on the tree metaphor. Tt concludes with three study themes: social and cultural perspective of migrants, economic and labor impact associated with Brexit, and politics, debates and voting on Brexit consequences, which allow us to determine a trend on the evolution and consequences of the separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
