Biofuel production in Latin America: A review for Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica and Colombia

Leer artículo

 

 

Natural resources deterioration, as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a critical global problem, derived mainly from the use of fossil fuels. In recent years, several Latin American countries have sought alternatives to replace fuels with biofuels. In this regard, this article aims to make a bibliographic review focused on the analysis of the current situation of biofuel production and research development in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica and Colombia. For this, seventy-seven investigations extracted in the last ten years from the databases ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, MDPI, Academic Google, Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCO and Elsevier were analyzed. Also, and for the same period, a bibliometric analysis of 355 investigations of the Web of Science database was carried out. The article presents the production figures, technologies, advances and challenges for the production of biofuels in these countries. Brazil stands out as a leader in the region and stands out worldwide in the generation of clean energy through the implementation of a biofuels policy and its incorporation into the transport sector. From this review, it is possible to know the state of production and research on biofuels in these countries and the challenges they face in achieving advances that do not reflect the comparative advantages they have due to the availability of raw materials for their production.

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world. Thousands of scientific works are published every year. We have analyzed more than 3 thousand organizations, who have published works on various aspects of parkinson’s disease in the period from 2015 to 2021. We have evaluated 4 classical centrality indices (In-degree, Eigenvector, Pagerank and Betweenness) and 2 new centrality indices. The new indices allow to take into account group influence and to identify pivotal nodes. Using the method, we have extracted the most influential organizations in the scientific area of parkinson’s disease. Stability analysis allows us to measure the value of dynamic changes in the network during the period under consideration.

Leer artículo

 

 

Information technologies are being extensively used by social entrepreneurs to achieve their social and financial goals. Studies on the convergence of social entrepreneurship with digital entrepreneurship is, nevertheless, lacking. Also, studies that relate corporate social responsibility (CSR), innovation, sustainability, and the integrated notion of digitalization of social entrepreneurship (DSE) are also questioned. This study sought to identify prospective topics for future researches to link DSE with various parameters by conducting a bibliometric review utilizing data pulled from the Scopus database. The clustering by document coupling analysis pinpointed to the industry 4.0 and digital economy themes, as well as to more specialized, COVID-19, innovation, sustainable development, and CSR themes. The study identified a number of themes that are under appreciated, such as social innovation, agro-ecology, and agriculture. The keyword co-occurrence network mostly identified five study areas, social entrepreneurship intentions, social enterprise sustainability and economic growth, sustainable development and socio-economic effects of DSE, entrepreneurs’ social innovation and business development, and industry 4.0, the digital economy and CSR.

Mapping the landscape: a bibliometric analysis of resting-state fMRI research on schizophrenia over the past 25 years

Leer artículo

 

 

Schizophrenia, a multifaceted mental disorder characterized by disturbances in thought, perception, and emotion, has been extensively investigated through resting-state fMRI, uncovering changes in spontaneous brain activity among those affected. However, a bibliometric examination regarding publication trends in resting-state fMRI studies related to schizophrenia is lacking. This study obtained relevant publications from the Web of Science Core Collection spanning the period from 1998 to 2022. Data extracted from these publications included information on countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords. The collected data underwent analysis and visualization using VOSviewer software. The primary analyses included examination of international and institutional collaborations, authorship patterns, co-citation analyses of authors and journals, as well as exploration of keyword co-occurrence and temporal trend networks. A total of 859 publications were retrieved, indicating an overall growth trend from 1998 to 2022. China and the United States emerged as the leading contributors in both publication outputs and citations, with Central South University and the University of New Mexico being identified as the most productive institutions. Vince D. Calhoun had the highest number of publications and citation counts, while Karl J. Friston was recognized as the most influential author based on co-citations. Key journals such as Neuroimage, Schizophrenia Research, Schizophrenia Bulletin, and Biological Psychiatry played pivotal roles in advancing this field. Recent popular keywords included support vector machine, antipsychotic medication, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and related terms. This study systematically synthesizes the historical development, current status, and future trends in resting-state fMRI research in schizophrenia, offering valuable insights for future research directions.

Exploring the role of blockchain technology in modern high-value food supply chains: global trends and future research directions

Leer artículo

 

 

Trust, safety, and quality are among the most important factors in the agri-food supply chains. Traceability is a powerful tool to ensure them, but implementing a transparent and effective system is a complex operation. As a result, innovative systems, like blockchain, could be introduced. Although research on its impacts in the agri-food is recent, the literature appears fragmented. The objective is to investigate the studied aspects of the blockchain adoption in agri-food, with the purpose of retrieving meaningful considerations about the current state of the art about strategic high-value supply chains, such as wine and olive oil, particularly subjected to fraudulent behaviors. A productivity measurement was applied to retrieve the evolution of the number of documents through the years, the most productive countries, the sources, the research areas, and the most significant papers in terms of number of citations received. To understand the research trends, a co-occurrence analysis was employed. Results show that most of the existing studies focus on the role of blockchain in the resolution of some critical issues as food safety and frauds. While wine is currently an emerging sector in which this approach can be implemented, olive oil still needs more attention. In both cases, blockchain could potentially help to support the profitability and sustainability of the production. The research underlines the importance of focusing on the environmental and social dimension of the blockchain phenomenon and the use of technology to improve the efficiency of agri-food chains and reduce waste and resource use.

The GIST of it all: management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) from the first steps to tailored therapy. A bibliometric analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Purpose Improvement of patient care is associated with increasing publication numbers in biomedical research. However, such increasing numbers of publications make it challenging for physicians and scientists to screen and process the literature of their respective fields. In this study, we present a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the evolution of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) research, analyzing the current state of the field and identifying key open questions going beyond the recent advantages for future studies to assess. Methods Using the Web of Science Core Collection, 5040 GIST-associated publications in the years 1984–2022 were identified and analyzed regarding key bibliometric variables using the Bibliometrix R package and VOSviewer software. Results GIST-associated publication numbers substantially increased over time, accentuated from year 2000 onwards, and being characterized by multinational collaborations. The main topic clusters comprise surgical management, tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) development/treatment, diagnostic workup, and molecular pathophysiology. Within all main topic clusters, a significant progress is reflected by the literature over the years. This progress ranges from conventional open surgical techniques over minimally invasive, including robotic and endoscopic, resection techniques to increasing identification of specific functional genetic aberrations sensitizing for newly developed TKIs being extensively investigated in clinical studies and implemented in GIST treatment guidelines. However, especially in locally advanced, recurrent, and metastatic disease stages, surgery-related questions and certain specific questions concerning (further-line) TKI treatment resistance were infrequently addressed. Conclusion Increasing GIST-related publication numbers reflect a continuous progress in the major topic clusters of the GIST research field. Especially in advanced disease stages, questions related to the interplay between surgical approaches and TKI treatment sensitivity should be addressed in future studies.
