The United States patent system is unique in that it requires applicants to cite documents they know to be relevant to the examination of their patent applications. Lampe (2012) presents evidence that applicants strategically withhold 21%–33% of relevant citations from patent examiners, suggesting that many patents are fraudulently obtained. We challenge this view. We first show that Lampe's empirical design is inconsistent with both legal standards and standard operating procedures, including how courts identify strategic withholding. We then compile comprehensive data to reassess the empirical basis for Lampe's main claim. We find no evidence that applicants withhold citations.

This article compares cash-for-care schemes supporting older people with health-related social care needs, as well as their informal carers, in England and Finland. The meso-level policy analysis drills down into the governance arrangements underpinning cash-for-care schemes, including their eligibility criteria, generosity and territorial variations. It explores their implicit and explicit intentions, function and effects in defamilialising, familialising or refamilialising families’ caring responsibilities. This reveals inconsistencies in the familialising and defamilialising effects of schemes according to individuals’ characteristics, choices and policy restrictions. It also exposes an overarching tendency to familialise or refamilialise the activity of caring for older people, which is exacerbated by austerity-related politics.

RESUMO Introdução: Tendo em consideração que a atividade de investigação em Comunicação cresceu fortemente nos últimos anos, como indicado por estudos anteriores, o presente trabalho visa estabelecer uma pesquisa em termos de produção científica nessa área. Objetivos: Esse artigo analisa a produção científica na área da Comunicação, entre 2007 e 2017, em revistas indexadas no primeiro quartil (Q1) e no segundo quartil (Q2) da base de dados Web of Science, pertencentes a autores com afiliação em instituições brasileiras. Metodologia: Foram identificadas as revistas de comunicação no InCities (JCR) pertencentes aos dois primeiros quartis, em seguida foi realizada uma busca por título de periódico na WoS e posteriormente o tratamento e normalização dos dados obtidos. Resultados: Observa-se um crescimento na produção científica em Comunicação, na projeção internacional, alimentando uma tradição em coautoria com redes internacionais. No período de 2014 a 2017, tenderam a publicar principalmente em inglês, frente às colaborações usuais que vinham mantendo com países de língua espanhola até 2014. Conclusão: Conclui-se, entre outras coisas, que o sistema de avaliação da Capes, quadrienal, pode ter influenciado a produção científica em Comunicação no intervalo estudado. ABSTRACT Introduction: Taking into consideration that research activity in Communication has grown strongly in recent years, as indicated by previous studies, the present work aims to establish a survey in terms of scientific production in this area. Objectives: This paper analyzes the scientific production in the area of Communication, between 2007 and 2017, in journals indexed in the first quartile (Q1) and second quartile (Q2) of the Web of Science database, belonging to authors with affiliation in Brazilian institutions. Methodology: Communication journals in InCities (JCR) belonging to the first two quartiles were identified, then a search by journal title in WoSff was performed and subsequently the treatment and normalization of the data obtained. Results: A growth in scientific production in Communication is observed, in international projection, feeding a tradition in coauthorship with international networks. In the period from 2014 to 2017, they tended to publish mainly in English, against the usual collaborations that they had been maintaining with Spanish-speaking countries until 2014. Conclusion: We conclude, among other things, that the Capes evaluation system, quadrennial, may have influenced the scientific production in Communication in the studied interval.

In May 2014, Latin America was the stage for the 13th International Public Communication of Science and Technology Conference (PCST 2014). It was the first time that this important international conference had reached the region since its launch in 1989, and it provides a good opportunity to discuss science communication in Latin America. The region is huge and extraordinarily diverse. As such, this article is only the starting point of a conversation on the subject: here the author presents an overview of the field in the region, highlighting some of the landmarks and discussing some challenges faced.

Report presented at the meeting of the Executive Council of the Latin American Studies Association in Barcelona, Spain, on May 20, 2018.

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s) Hypothesis: Solid-state polymer adsorption offers a distinct approach for surface modification. These ultrathin, so-called Guiselin layers can easily be obtained by placing a polymer melt in contact with an interface, followed by a removal of the non-adsorbed layer with a good solvent. While the mechanism of formation has been well established for Guiselin layers, their stability, crucial from the perspective of materials applications, is not. The stability is a trade-off in the entropic penalty between cooperative detachment of the number of segments directly adsorbed on the substrate and consecutively pinned monomers. Experiments: Experimental model systems of Guiselin layers of polystyrene (PS) on silicon wafers with native oxide layer on top were employed. The stability of the adsorbed layers was studied as a function of PS molecular weight and polydispersibility by various microscopic and spectroscopic tools as well as quasi-static contact angle measurements. Findings: Adsorbed layers from low molecular weight PS were disrupted with typical spinodal decomposition patterns whereas high molecular weight (>500 kDa) PS resulted in stable, continuous layers. Moreover, we show that Guiselin layers offer an enticing way to modify a surface, as demonstrated by adsorbed PS that imparts a hydrophobic character to initially hydrophilic silicon wafers.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly being used to assess community composition in marine ecosystems. Applying eDNA approaches across broad spatial scales now provide the potential to inform biogeographic analyses. However, to date, few studies have employed this technique to assess broad biogeographic patterns across multiple taxonomic groups. Here, we compare eDNA‐derived communities of bony fishes and invertebrates, including corals and sponges, from 15 locations spanning the entire length of the Omani coast. This survey includes a variety of habitats, including coral and rocky reefs, and covers three distinct marine ecoregions. Our data support a known biogeographic break in fish communities between the north and the south of Oman; however, the eDNA data highlight that this faunal break is mostly reflected in schooling baitfish species (e.g., sardines and anchovies), whereas reef‐associated fish communities appear more homogeneous along this coastline. Furthermore, our data provide indications that these biogeographic breaks also affect invertebrate communities, which includes corals, sponges, and broader eukaryotic groups. The observed community shifts were correlated with local environmental and anthropogenic differences characteristic of this coastline, particularly for the eDNA‐derived bony fish communities. Overall, this study provides compelling support that eDNA sequencing and associated analyses may serve as powerful tools to detect community differences across biogeographic breaks and ecoregions, particularly in places where there is significant variation in oceanographic conditions or anthropogenic impacts.

Yönetim Bilişim Sistemleri (YBS) alanında çalışma yapan araştırmacılar, sürdürülebilir bir literatürün oluşmasında önemli bir rol oynayan bilimsel dergiler aracılığı ile alanı takip edebilmekte ve bilimsel çalışmalarını yine bu dergiler aracılığı ile diğer bilim insanlarının ilgisine sunabilmektedir. Scimago Journal and Country Rank kaynaklarına göre, uluslararası düzeyde 2021 yılı itibariyle 104 dergi YBS alanında faaliyetlerini yürütmektedir. Çalışma, Türkiye özelinde, SCImago listesinde yer alan uluslararası YBS dergileri üzerinde genel bir değerlendirme sunmayı, uluslararası Q1 dergilerin diğer alanlar ile ilişkileri ve dergilerin nitelikleri hakkında genel bir değerlendirmeyi ve Q1 dergilerde 2010 yılından günümüze Türkiye adresli makalelerin bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu sayede uluslararası nitelikteki dergilerde Türkiye’deki YBS alanında çalışan araştırmacılarımızın bilimsel üretkenliği değerlendirilmektedir.

The paper first addresses the educational policies dictated at the international and national levels to deal with the health emergency caused by COVID-19. The main objective of these policies has been not to stop the teaching-learning processes, moving from face-to-face and blended modalities to an online modality, trying not to neglect aspects such as educational quality. Afterwards, those dictated and implemented by the University Network of the University of Guadalajara (U. de G.) are analyzed. Then, the reality faced by the professors of the Centro Universitario del Norte (CUNorte) to continue their teaching work is described. Finally, the challenges in the short, medium and long term, related to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), such as the lack of training in digital platforms and tools, computer equipment for work, obsolescence of the same and problems of Internet connectivity, among others. Keywords: Education, ICT, Health Emergency, COVID-19. doi: https://doi.org/10.36825/RITI.09.19.006

This paper describe a proposal to develop a web site to work as technical, academic and scientific information repository, which contain the daily products made by students and teachers from Tecnologico Nacional de Mexico campus Instituto Tecnologico de Tepic. This proposal comes to cover the opportunity that occurs with the generation of knowledge that is developed in the academic and research work of the institution, by students, teachers and researchers of the different careers and postgraduate courses offered by IT Tepic, and that currently does not have a space where this information is presented and made available to anyone who can use it to base their own scientific development process. The development of this proposal will be worked in conjunction with an Academic Body of the Instituto Tecnologico de Nogales, and once it is implemented, it will subsequently be offered to the other technological institutes of the Tecnologico Nacional de Mexico. Keywords: Repository, Open Access, Academic Information, Scientific Information. doi: https://doi.org/10.36825/RITI.09.19.007

Open science and preprints have invited a larger audience of readers, especially during the pandemic. Consequently, communicating the limitations and uncertainties of research to a broader public has become important over the entire information lifecycle. This paper brings together reports from the NISO Plus 2021 conference session “Misinformation and truth: from fake news to retractions to preprints”. We discuss the validation and verification of scientific information at the preprint stage in order to support sound and open science standards, at the publication stage in order to limit the spread of retracted research, and after publication, to fight fake news about health-related research by mining open access content.

On November 19, 2020, the annual International Research and Practice Conference Ignatov Readings took place. It was dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the outstanding scientist - Vadim Nikolayevich Makhov - an Honored Lawyer of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Legal Sciencies, Full Professor, whose life and scientific work have been inextricably intertwined with the RUDN University for more than a quarter of a century. The article is dedicated to Vadim Nikolaevich Makhov - a practitioner with the richest experience, an outstanding scientist, and a talented teacher!

The revival of an independent Polish state in 1918 was conducive not only to the emergence of a new national administration or a sense of national community, but also to the establishment of new entities in science and culture, and, consequently, actions focused on Polishness and promotion of national values. Such new initiatives were based on the activities of scholars, artists and intellectuals, who had existed as a milieu before, but who either operated on a local scale or were entangled in international structures, usually remaining on their peripheries. Projects carried out in new conditions – in the now free country – often with the support of government institutions could promote the national heritage in various forms and on a large scale. In addition to research-related objectives, young Polish musicology also sought to popularise and disseminate Poland’s musical heritage in a variety of ways: 1) by publishing, as part as of sheet music series, sources for the study of the history of Polish music; 2) new critical editions of well-known oeuvres; 3) supporting the work of young Polish composers by publishing the scores of their compositions through publishing houses set up especially for the purpose; or 4) creating fora for the exchange of scholarly reflections and for presentation of the results of research conducted by a growing number of scholars educated at Polish universities. All this with the slogans of “national pride” and “national duty” the fulfilment of which was to help with catching up and making up for the losses caused by the absence of Poland as a state for over one hundred years. This led to initiatives by the newly emerging milieu of Polish musicologists seeking to promote the historical legacy of Polish music as well as the achievements of contemporary composers: the series “Early Polish Music”, a project to publish a complete critical edition of Fryderyk Chopin’s works, series of the Polish Music Publishing Society intended for young composers, or periodicals promoting articles on Polish subjects (Kwartalnik Muzyczny, Muzyka, Muzyka Polska, Polski Rocznik Muzykologiczny and others).

Na era contemporânea, a comunicação pública se estabelece por intermédio das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC). Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a contribuição das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) para o desenvolvimento de São Luís, capital do Estado do Maranhão, especificamente quanto o acesso à informação. Realizou-se pesquisa de campo com aplicação de 384 questionários aos munícipes para a percepção destes em relação à temática abordada e entrevistas do tipo semiestruturada junto aos gestores municipais. Os resultados evidenciaram que o referido município carece de políticas educacionais que dotem e instrumentalizem seus cidadãos para o uso das TIC, bem como há pouca utilização do e-SIC, canal oficial adotado pelo município para pedidos de acesso à informação.

This article reports a survey of academic productions in Brazil about the Japanese Jugyo-Kenkyu methodology (Lesson Study), applied to the initial and continuing education of teachers in various parts of the world. For this purpose, Internet searches were conducted for works published between 2008 and 2018 with eight descriptors. The search, guided by the principles of Systematic Review, resulted in the selection of 49 publications from four regions: North, Northeast, Southeast and South. The analysis of this corpus indicates advances in research, still embryonic, with the Lesson Study in Brazil. It is believed that the volume of academic productions on Lesson Study will increase as the dissemination of its formative potential expands in Brazil.

Como forma de ampliar a visibilidade e divulgação das produções acadêmicas e científicas, algumas instituições de ensino passaram a fazer uso de Repositórios Institucionais (RI), ferramentas tecnológicas que surgiram a partir do movimento mundial de acesso aberto à informação científica. Este trabalho apresenta como objeto de estudo o cenário de implantação de Repositórios nos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IF) com marco temporal até maio de 2020. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo. Foi realizado o mapeamento para identificar quais IF possuíam Repositório Institucional. A coleta de dados aconteceu por meio de consulta em sites institucionais, envio de e-mails ao grupo de bibliotecários da Rede brasileira de Institutos Federais e coleta de informações por meio do Sistema Eletrônico do Serviço de Informação ao Cidadão (e-SIC). Identificou-se que das 38 instituições pesquisadas 15 já possuem Repositório Institucional e outras 15 estão em fase de implantação. Acredita-se que a implantação de repositórios nos IF ainda precisa avançar significativamente para proporcionar maior visibilidade às suas produções acadêmicas, técnicas e científicas.

The article examines the process of the Tatar language teaching formation in Kazan institutes of higher education in the 1920s on the example of institutes in the Humanities sphere: the North-Eastern Archaeological and Ethnographic Institute, the Eastern Academy and the Tatar National Branch of the Eastern Pedagogical Institute. The research is based on a wide range of unpublished sources from the funds of the State Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan. The study examines the curriculum of the disciplines within which the Tatar language was studied, the teaching forms and methods, as well as the formation of a team of specialists who taught the language during that period. Special attention is given to the study of the socio-political conditions in which the Tatar language instruction developed. It has been established that in the first years of the Soviet regime, the Tatar language was taught in Kazan institutes mainly by orientalists. Therefore, teaching this subject was closely related to oriental studies and source studies disciplines. Students mastered not only the spoken Tatar language, but also learned to work with Old Turkic writing manuscripts. Teaching the Tatar language in the second half of the 1920s was aimed primarily at training teachers of the native language. That period was distinguished by the instability of curricula, the introduction of new teaching methods, including the Dalton plan, and also changes in teaching staff.

The article analyzes the documentary materials of the Republic of Tatarstan State Archives on the history of the formation and activities of Kazan University’s Tatar Language and Literature Department in the middle of 1940s – 1950s. The study of the protocols of the department provided an opportunity to identify the academic staff, the main directions of the department's work in the first post-war years, the material and technical equipment and the specifics of organizing the educational process. It was concluded that the activities of the Department of Tatar Philology made a significant contribution to the determination of further ways of developing Tatar philological education and demonstrated the importance of preserving the language for the culture of Tatar people.

Hand in hand with Timor (De mãos dadas com Timor) is a project that explores cultural competencies, social interaction through the Arts and Communication which has promoted cognitive development and a systematic contact between participants from very diverse cultural contexts (Portuguese students in two classes of the 1st year Basic Education Teacher Training BA Degree at the Higher School of Education of Viana do Castelo Polytechnic [ESEVC-IPVC], attending the subject entitled Theories and Practices of Visual and Performing Arts, and Timor children, teachers and educators working in the Pre-School level of Education at the Portuguese School of Dili - CELP - Ruy Cinatti, Timor). This international exchange arose from contacts made between the teacher of Visual Arts at ESEVC-IPVC and Flor Gomes, former student of ESEVC-IPVC, with a BA degree in Visual and Technological Education and a Master in Art Education at ESEVC-IPVC, teacher in statutory mobility, currently working in Timor between 2020 and 2022. This article, written by two researchers from the Art Education area, addresses a Portuguese project which emphasised an action-research underpinned in an interdisciplinary approach, using comics as teaching strategy in developing cultural competencies of eighty Portuguese students (nº=80) of a Basic Education Course. The findings of such collaboration using video as the communication support for this international exchange, show the positive effects of such Project that promoted the overall cultural and artistic competencies of students involved, either in Portugal or in Timor. It is concluded that such curricular experiment had on students, on their motivation and awareness of how illustration and video can work together with popular literature, staging and illustrating it. It also highlights how imagination, creativity, dialogue and cultural competencies of children can promote a deeply collaborative work at local, regional, national and international levels, despite the fact that we are living in a period of pandemic and confinement.

En 2019 se reactivó el proyecto de construcción del Repositorio Digital para la difusión del acervo documental del Museo Universitario del Chopo. El proyecto ha buscado dar acceso al material que conforma los distintos Fondos y Colecciones que son resguardados por el Centro de Información del Museo, a través de los cuales es posible establecer procesos de memoria a la vez que se posibilitan acercamientos a colectivos, proyectos y personas vinculados a prácticas culturales consideradas marginales y underground. Dado que el Museo del Chopo ha tenido un carácter históricamente abierto, en el que se han albergado las disidencias sexuales, artísticas e incluso políticas, estructurar un instrumento de consulta de calidad, constituye un ejercicio democrático y de equidad. En este artículo, se recoge el camino hacia la construcción del repositorio.

Uma vez que a inovação potencialmente é influenciada pela cultura organizacional, importante construto para as práticas de gestão e desempenho, avaliou-se o impacto da cultura organizacional na aceitação de tecnologia do módulo de memorando eletrônico de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior. Realizou-se uma survey, aplicada a 337 usuários, utilizando, como técnica multivariada de análise dos dados, a modelagem de equações estruturais. Foram utilizados os softwares Smart PLS 3.2, pela não ocorrência de normalidade multivariada na distribuição dos dados e IBM SPSS® v. 23 para a condução da Análise Fatorial Exploratória. Notou-se que a cultura organizacional influenciou na facilidade de uso percebida e a intenção comportamental de uso, favorecendo a aceitação da tecnologia do memorando eletrônico. Esse estudo contribui cientificamente ao obter indícios da cultura organizacional como antecedente do modelo de aceitação de tecnologia (TAM), aspecto não observado nos estudos anteriores. Gerencialmente, esse estudo contribui no sentido de possibilitar ações de aperfeiçoamento técnico, objetivando uma maior qualidade do serviço público.

The article aims to show the presence of American Polonia in the scholarly activity of Institute for the Study of Polish Community and Its Ministry and Institute for the Study of Polish Community and Its Ministry. In the 1970s and 1980s a huge interest in Polish diaspora achievements in the USA was visible in many scientific articles, texts, and monographs published in the yearbook Studia Polonijne. American Polonia has become an object of multidimensional and interdisciplinary research, which turned to be the pioneer ones in some cases.

The presentation was conducted by the Honourable David J. McGuinty, founding chair of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP). The presentation was followed by a question and answer period with questions from the audience and CASIS Vancouver executives, which were directed to both Mr. McGuinty and Lisa Marie Inman, Executive Director, Secretariat of NSICOP.

The current issue (volume 13 issue 62,021) is a Special Issue jointly dedicated to scientific content presented at the 20th triennial IUPAB Congress that was held in conjunction with both the 45th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Biophysical Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Biofísica - SBBf) and the 50th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Sociedade Brasileira de Bioquímica e Biologia Molecular – SBBq). In addition to describing the scientific and nonscientific content arising from the meeting this sub-editorial also provides a look back at some of the high points for Biophysical Reviews in the year 2021 before going on to describe a number of matters of interest to readers of the journal in relation to the coming year of 2022.

No artigo, questionamos: quais seriam os motivos da atribuição aos IFs da função de formar professores? Com que prerrogativas legais os IFs realizam esse trabalho? Em quais regiões do Brasil predominam seus cursos de formação de professores? Quais cursos são privilegiados? Que contribuições os IFs têm dado ou podem dar à formação professores? Para respondê-las utilizamos como fonte documental pesquisas sobre o tema dos IFs e da formação de professores, a Lei nº 11.892/2008, bem como dados da Plataforma Nilo Peçanha. As licenciaturas nos IFs supririam parte da carência de professores no país, contribuíram para a universalização do Ensino Médio e poderiam resolver o problema da atuação de tecnólogos e/ou bacharéis na docência. Até o ano de 2018, há 647 campi de IFs, oferecendo 26 licenciaturas, distribuídas em 771 cursos, sendo 62,3% da área de ciências e matemática, 25,5% de ciências humanas e sociais e 12,2% de formação de professores para EPT. As contribuições dos IFs à formação de professores levam em conta a qualidade da Educação Básica de nível médio e da EPT e ainda o fato de que os IFs podem ampliar a formação docente para as áreas da EPT, que tanto sofrem por falta de professores especializados.

The paper is devoted to the study of the development of psychiatry and its establishment as a science in the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The leading method of research was the analysis and synthesis of historical sources of the 19th to 21st centuries. The historical analysis of the development of psychiatry was carried out through the study of the life and scientific path of Ivan Sikorsky, Mykhailo Lapinsky, Volodymyr Seletsky, who were the founders of psychiatry as an academic discipline in Ukraine. In 2020, 135 years have passed since the foundation of the Department of Nervous and Mental Diseases in the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The founders of the department are well-known talented scientists, whose activities have enriched psychiatric science. But from 1920 to 2019, psychiatry as a science and a subject of teaching disappeared from the University. Psychiatry received its further development at the university in 2019, with establishment of the Institute of Psychiatry. The practical significance of the study lies in the substantial contribution to the history of domestic medical science, in particular, mental disorder studies, as well as the possibility of using the findings in the teaching of an educational course in psychiatry.

Financial globalisation is a general trend of contemporary world economic development that multinational corporations largely drive. Many of them come from English-speaking countries. Many of them are of the U.S. origin, which is why globalisation is often misunderstood and misinterpreted as Americanisation. English is the leading language of globalisation. Even European leaders of supranational level have to speak, communicate and pass E.U. legislation in English. That is why teaching and studying world finance in English is given a high priority in many countries. Russia is no exception to the rule and the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation (the University of Finance). This book attempts to outlay the theoretical and practical foundation for the world finance. It contains basic world finance terminology. The textbook can be recommended for teaching world finance and related subjects.

How did the notion of new technologies emerge in the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI)of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)?Which approximations did organisation build between this notion and education? These are the questions that animate this article. The article is organised in two parts. First of all, more than justpresent a characterization of the OECD's administration bodies, I discuss how the articulation between education and technologies took place during the CERI constitution process (1968-1971). After that, through the interpretation of sources researched in the OECD Library & Archives (Paris), I analyse how the notion of new technologies historically emerged at CERI in articulation with its future perspectives about work, employment and international education policies.

Esta pesquisa é consequência da expressiva presença de documentos governamentais em referências de artigos sobre formação de professores publicados na área brasileira de Educação em Ciências.

Debido a la forzosa cuarentena por la pandemia del Covid-19 entre el 2020 y el 2021, queda en evidencia la importancia de contar con una oferta académica de cursos no presenciales en todos los niveles, incluido el de la educación superior, oferta que ya existía antes de la situación mencionada pero que era bastante baja comparada con la oferta presencial. Para poder obtener estos datos de una fuente oficial existe el Registro Nacional de Carreras del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencias, esta base de datos contiene la oferta académica total de la Educación Superior en el Paraguay, incluyendo información sobre todas las carreras de pregrado, grado y posgrado definidas por la Ley de Educación Superior 4995/13, incluida la modalidad en que dichas carreras son ofrecidas. El objetivo del presente estudio es caracterizar la oferta académica en la modalidad no presencial utilizando los datos proveídos por el Ministerio y generar una herramienta de visualización que permita obtener rápida y dinámicamente los datos mencionados. El tipo de investigación es aplicada, exploratoria-descriptiva y cuantitativa considerando el objetivo mencionado. Como resultado se obtuvo una herramienta web accesible para cualquier interesado, se pueden presentar las siguientes conclusiones acerca de la oferta académica no presencial: la aún muy baja cantidad de carreras que se ofertan en las modalidades a distancia y virtual, la no clara diferenciación entre estas modalidades, las instituciones que ofrecen mayor cantidad de este tipo de carreras, donde se evidencia un liderazgo de universidades privadas, los niveles de titulación donde prevalecen los estudios de grado y pregrado y las áreas de conocimiento de las mismas donde prevalecen las carreras relacionadas a la educación.

En Paraguay, la ANEAES establece el modelo nacional de evaluación y acreditación de la educación superior, aprobado en el año 2007. El objetivo del estudio fue describir los avances y logros respecto a la implementación del Modelo Nacional desde la perspectiva de actores claves de la Agencia, año 2020. La investigación fue descriptiva, de enfoque cualitativo. La técnica aplicada fue entrevista a profundidad y análisis de documentos. La muestra fue intencional, los sujetos de estudio fueron seleccionados conforme al organigrama de la Agencia considerando las funciones que cumplen. Como resultado del estudio se constata que la influencia del contexto regional y los acuerdos educativos del MERCOSUR ha facilitado la promulgación de la ley de creación de la ANEAES, posteriormente se elaboraron los mecanismos para de evaluación y acreditación. Entre las principales dificultades se subraya la resistencia a los procesos de evaluación por parte de algunas universidades, problemas presupuestarios y recursos humanos insuficientes para la Agencia. Las estrategias paliativas fueron: un sistema de optimización del personal técnico, la gestión para contar con recursos presupuestarios, la formación de pares evaluadores, entre otros. Con respecto a los logros cuantitativos se destacan los mecanismos de evaluación y acreditación con que cuenta el Modelo Nacional, la cantidad de criterios de calidad elaborados para la evaluación y acreditación de carreras de grado y programas de posgrado. Entre los cualitativos resalta la credibilidad de las IES y de la sociedad hacia los procesos de acreditación implementados por la Agencia. Los desafíos dan cuenta de la construcción de nuevos mecanismos de evaluación y acreditación, la elaboración de nuevos criterios de calidad, la formación y registro de nuevos pares evaluadores y el trabajo interinstitucional con los órganos rectores de la educación superior en nuestro país.

Objavljivanje prvih dvaju tomova, u nacionalnom ili teritorijalnom smislu, partikularnih enciklopedija, Hrvatske enciklopedije Bosne i Hercegovine i Enciklopedije Republike Srpske, u intelektualnoj je javnosti otvorila pitanje stvaranja Opće enciklopedije Bosne i Hercegovine. Ta bi enciklopedija morala posmatrati BiH kao cjelovitu, jedinstvenu i zasebnu historijsku, socijalnu i državnu tvorevinu isključivo na osnovu naučno utvrđenih činjenica. Predsjedništvo je odlučilo da se ANUBiH angažuje na ovom projektu. Nakon faze pripremnih radnji Akademija je zaključila da se u postojećim društvenim uslovima najprije mora sačiniti iscrpna studija izvodljivosti za cijeli izdavački poduhvat državne opće enciklopedije. Ovaj rad je prvi odgovor na taj zahtjev. U njemu se na bazi postojećih saznanja o studijama izvodljivosti i enciklopedistici, te sadašnjih i predvidljivih društveno-političkih prilika, utvrđuju najvažniji elementi buduće studije izvodljivosti projekta ANUBiH Opća enciklopedija Bosne i Hercegovine.

El Centro de Investigación de Arquitectura Tradicional (CIAT) es un centro científico-tecnológico fruto del convenio suscrito en 1996 entre la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid y el Ayuntamiento de Boceguillas (Segovia, España) para el desarrollo de actividades de investigación, formación y difusión de los valores de la arquitectura y la construcción tradicionales, la ciudad histórica, el paisaje cultural y el patrimonio edificado. La excelente disposición del Ayuntamiento de Boceguillas, la ayuda recibida de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid y de su Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, y la financiación recibida de la Consejería de Fomento de la Junta de Castilla y León y del Programa Leader II de la Unión Europea (gestionado en la comarca nordeste de Segovia por CODINSE) hicieron posible la rehabilitación del edificio que alberga su sede y el inicio de su programa de actividades, que celebra en 2021 su veinticinco aniversario.
