The behavior of the agrarian issue published in the Granma newspaper, in its daily printed edition during 2019, is analyzed to reveal the Cuban reality projected in this national dissemination medium of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC). Bibliometric indicators are applied, such as: Monthly productivity, Productivity of topics by newspaper sections, Productivity by province, Business entities and cooperative agricultural most representative; and well as the main agricultural research and technological innovation activities in this media. For the data analysis Excel and ToolInf softwares were used. A stable behavior was obtained in the approach to the subject in 60% of the annual issues, the second semester being the one with the highest number of publications in the Cuba section, the cover of the newspaper and in Letters to the Direction; giving broad coverage to issues related to monitoring and control of the agricultural sector, agricultural problems and agricultural production results, events, investments and infrastructure. The largest number of information was represented by the provinces: Pinar del Rio, Cienfuegos and Granma; in which the main agricultural productions treated are corn, tobacco, rice and beans, and to a lesser extent the rest of the productions resulting from livestock, forestry, fishing and aquaculture activities. The most representative staters entities were the Ceballos Agroindustrial Company and Tabacuba, whose main purpose is to export its products. Scientific-technological activity directed to the cooperative sector is disclosed, which should seek greater linkage and enhancement of traditional practices.

 

 

The objective of the study is to describe the world scientific production on gamification in the Scopus and Web of Science databases between the months of January 2020 and March 2022. We worked with a universe consisting of 754 documents from the database Web of Science and 1443 from Scopus. The results indicate that, in terms of the number of authors, Scopus has 1,336 and Web of Science, 2,223. The rate of collaboration between authors is slightly higher in Web of Science (3.18) compared to 3.05 in Scopus. Regarding the author with the highest production on the subject, Juho Hamari stood out, while the Lecture notes in computer science magazines in Scopus and the Sustainability magazine in WoS stood out as the media with the highest production of articles on gamification; On the other hand, Spain was the main country producing scientific evidence, and the type of scientific production that stood out was the original articles. The growth of scientific production on gamification is corroborated and further growth is forecast for the coming years.

 

 

The study aims to characterize the global scientific production on environmental management at the global level in the Scopus and Web of Science, between the months of January 2020 to March 2022. A retrospective descriptive bibliometric analysis was carried out. 1133 documents from the Web of database were analyzed. Science and 1687 from Scopus, drawn from 565 and 771 sources respectively. Regarding the number of authors, Scopus presents 6067 and Web of Science, 4043. The rate of collaboration between authors is slightly lower in Web of Science (3.82) compared to 3.95 from Scopus. The most cited article is “Green innovation and environmental performance: The role of green transformational leadership and green human resource management “, the author with the most papers on the subject is Yi Zhang, IOP Conference Series: Earth And Environmental magazine Science stands out as the medium with the largest number of publications related to environmental management, the type of scientific document that stands out the most is the original article, as for the country with the largest number of publications on environmental management, China stands out. With regard to collaboration between countries, China and Pakistan stand out in the case of Web of Science and China and the United States in the case of Scopus . It is concluded that, in recent years, scientific production on environmental management has shown an accelerated increase motivated by the dramatic changes generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

Stress can result in psychopathologies, such as anxiety or depression, when this risk factor continues in time. One major stressor was the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered considerable emotional distress and mental health issues among different workers, including teachers, with another stressor: technology and online education. A mixed-method approach is presented in this research, combining a cross-sectional study of university teachers from Ecuador and Spain with a medium of twenty years of working experience (N = 55) and a bibliometric analysis carried out in three databases (161 documents). The levels of anxiety and depression, and therefore the risk of developing them as mental disorders, were high. The lack of training (p < 0.01), time (p < 0.05), or research regarding the use of technology in education (p < 0.01) and stress caused by COVID-19 (p < 0.001) were linked to frequency. The most relevant observational study obtained through the bibliometric analysis (138 citations and over 65% of methodological quality) indicated that previous training and behavioral factors are key in the stress related to technology. The combination of the results indicated that mental health in STEM teachers at university is related to diverse factors, from training to the family and working balance.

 

 

Collaborative learning has a broad theoretical and practical tradition in general education, as in higher education. However, coordination of people who seek to learn is not an easy task to manage. This complexity increases when technology arises as component of collaboration. What are the advances on technology-assisted collaborative learning? This work aims to analyze the state of the research on collaborative learning in Higher Education in Virtual Learning Environments (EVA). To achieve this purpose. a bibliometric analysis of the indexed publications of the SCOPUS database is carried out. Network bibliometric analyses revealed that the scientific production on collaborative learning in higher education is grow-ing but not homogeneous over rinse. Most active disciplines proved to be Social Sciences and Computer Scienc-es, and a special emphasis on understanding the Collaboration in h -learning environments showed two developing trends: 1) the acceptance of virtual collaborative media -don in higher education processes and 2) the need to implement collaborative methodological nuances (portfolio and other pedagogical natives) and trying out other virtual tools (social networks)

 

 

Wavelet power spectrum (WPS) and wavelet coherence analyses (WCA) are used to examine the co-movements among oil prices, green bonds, and CO2 emissions on daily data from January 2014 to October 2022. The WPS results show that oil returns exhibit significant volatility at low and medium frequencies, particularly in 2014, 2019-2020, and 2022. Also, the Green Bond Index presents significant volatility at the end of 2019-2020 and the beginning of 2022 at low, medium, and high frequencies. Additionally, CO2 futures’ returns present high volatility at low and medium frequencies, expressly in 2015-2016, 2018, the end of 2019-2020, and 2022. WCA’s empirical findings reveal (i) that oil returns have a negative impact on the Green Bond Index in the medium term. (ii) There is a strong interdependence between oil prices and CO2 futures’ returns, in short, medium, and long terms, as inferred from the time-frequency analysis. (iii) There also is evidence of strong short, medium, and long terms co-movements between the Green Bond Index and CO2 futures’ returns, with the Green Bond Index leading.

 

 

In this article, we analyze the scientific production on public television disclosed between 2001 and 2019 in the Web of Science databases, characterizing the metadata information, and identifying media studies, traditions of communication theories and methodologies with content analyses. 202 articles were found that correspond to 1% of total publications with the keyword “television”, this show the gap in public television studies. The results demonstrate a centralization of knowledge in Spain and United States. Regions as Latin America, Asia and Oceania have a low participation. Finally, scholars have been interested in the production processes analyzed from the sociocultural tradition.

 

 

This work presents a review, using bibliometric methods, of the state of research on the whole field of natural language processing (NLP), understanding this as the methods to process human language, including semantic techniques, statistical techniques or a combination of both. Particularly we focus on the trends of research in NLP, since there are not in the literature studies that embrace in an integral way bibliometric studies about natural language processing, its applications and related topics. Our work includes an identification of the main sources where research is published, the most productive and influential countries and research institutions, the main actors involved in research, as well as the main topics that are investigated. We found that research in the field and subfields has increased continuously during the period under study; conference proceedings are the preferred media to communicate results and that biomedical informatics is one relevant field of application of NLP. We conclude with both, a synchronic and a diachronic characterization of research topics carried out internationally on natural language processing and related topics, which showed that several subfields of artificial intelligence are closely related to natural language processing in recent years.

 

 

This article presents the report of an empirical investigation on scientific production in Education using bibliometric and scientometric data analyzed based on concepts created by Pierre Bourdieu for the sociology of science with the help of a historical and philosophical framework. Using metadata from more than 6000 theses defended between 1996 and 2016 in postgraduate education programs in Brazil, a map of the Social Hierarchy of Objects in the field of Education was generated. We also tried to empirically test the statement about research in Education that there was a loss of the object of research in Education in postmodernity and the importance in terms of scientific capital of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC). The data showed that the hierarchy of objects is very fragmented but with a nucleus that concentrates a lot of scientific capital and that this concentration grew with the field. Which can be explained by the high degree of heteronomy of the field and post-modernity phenomena. It was possible to map that there are objects that bring more return of scientific capital: the teacher and his/her formation. Therefore, there was no loss of the object. It was also possible to observe that words related to digital technologies grew in scientific capital and became part of the core in the hierarchy of objects in the field at the beginning of the 21st century. Digital technologies are part of the core of the Social Hierarchy of Objects in the field of Education, mainly related to Distance Education.

 

 

The present article is the result of an academic interdisciplinary work done by researchers from the XII group of doctoral students from the Postgraduate Program in Environment and Development at the Federal University of Parana (PPGMADE-UFPR). By means of a systematic review and by using bibliometric research tools, followed by qualitative analyses, the purpose of this collective effort was to contribute towards the construction of knowledge for the theoretical deepening and basis of empirical works related to the theme “alternativities”, thereby seeking to identify gaps and research opportunities. The analyses indicate that a special emphasis is given to research on this subject in the areas of environmental sciences and sociology, and that there is also a field of scientific production under construction that involves this issue, especially those linked to the studies of Boaventura de Sousa Santos. When reflecting on the specificities of rural alternativities, as analyzed from the five ecologies proposed by Sousa Santos, this study makes it possible to use an epistemological approach based on the perspective of absent and emergent experiences. It is concluded that there is a comprehensive field of research for the use of the term, and that alternativities in rurality are closely linked to an epistemological option that, through the experiences and narratives of those who are absent and emergent, has sought to understand how rural social actors produce new experiences based on the tension that exists with hegemonic modernity-coloniality.
