Research trends and collaborations by applied science researchers in South African universities of technology: 2007–2017

This paper analyses the publication patterns of researchers in the field of applied sciences at Universities of Technology in South Africa. Aspects investigated include publications in SCOPUS-listed journals; number of citations and countries of publication. Collaborative research patterns at national and international levels were also investigated. A bibliometric analysis approach was followed using SCOPUS as the main source of data and analysing the articles published in selected applied science disciplines. Results show that researchers in the field of applied sciences in universities of technology have increased their number of publications over the past 10?years and are also working in conjunction with other researchers both nationally and internationally. The analysis is an important addition to the field in South Africa which helps in measuring how institutions are positively responding to government incentives in research. The results are also important to information professionals who are increasingly playing an important role in research impact assessments.     

Technological research in the EU is less efficient than the world average. EU research policy risks Europeans’ future

We have studied the efficiency of research in the EU by a percentile-based citation approach that analyzes the distribution of country papers among the world papers. Going up in the citation scale, the frequency of papers from efficient countries increases while the frequency from inefficient countries decreases. In the percentile-based approach, this trend, which is uniform at any citation level, is measured by the e_p index that equals the P_{top 1%}/P_{top 10%} ratio. By using the e_p index we demonstrate that EU research on fast-evolving technological topics is less efficient than the world average and that the EU is far from being able to compete with the most advanced countries. The e_p index also shows that the USA is well ahead of the EU in both fast- and slow-evolving technologies, which suggests that the advantage of the USA over the EU in innovation is due to low research efficiency in the EU. In accord with some previous studies, our results show that the European Commission’s ongoing claims about the excellence of EU research are based on a wrong diagnosis. The EU must focus its research policy on the improvement of its inefficient research. Otherwise, the future of Europeans is at risk.

英国政府的科技创新政策及对我国的政策启示

英国政府的政策制定者认为,创新是一个包括许多部分的复杂的循环过程,在这个创新循环中只注重一个方面的政策必将失败。因此,英国政府力图从思想的产生与获得开始、经过知识转移和消化,到最后的公众对新技术的信心和消费者市场,构建一个立体型的创新网络。分析了英国政府的立体型创新网络,提出了对我国科技政策的启示。     

科技基础条件平台的组织管理机构探讨

国家科技基础条件平台已逐渐由以资源整合建设为主的“边建设、边服务”阶段,转向以运行服务为主的 “边服务、边建设”阶段。如何全面理解运行服务阶段的平台组织管理,建成什么样的组织管理机构才能更好地促进平 台资源的共享和利用,是当前急需思考和解决的问题。在全面剖析高效运行的组织管理机构在平台运行服务中重要意 义的基础上,结合调研和实践对与运行服务相适应的科技基础条件平台组织管理机构组成与职责进行分析,并以地球 系统科学数据共享平台为例,分析组织管理机构在平台运行服务整体链条中的角色和作用。     

宫颈鳞状上皮癌变过程中细胞周期调节通路p14ARE-MDM2-p53作用的研究

目的 探讨细胞周期调节p14ARF-MDM2-p53通路在宫颈上皮癌变过程中的作用.方法 采用免疫组化SP法检测18例正常宫颈上皮、48例宫颈上皮内瘤变(CIN)和23例宫颈鳞状细胞癌组织p14ARF、MDM2及p53蛋白的表达.结果 p14ARF蛋白表达阳性率在正常宫颈上皮、CIN和宫颈鳞癌组分别为28%、42%和78%,宫颈鳞癌组表达较正常上皮和CIN组升高(P＜0.05);MDM2蛋白表达阳性率在正常宫颈上皮、CIN和宫颈鳞癌组分别为0%、23%和43%,CIN和宫颈鳞癌组较正常宫颈上皮表达升高(P＜0.05);p53蛋白表达阳性率在正常宫颈上皮、CIN和宫颈鳞癌组分别为6%、31%和39%,CIN及宫颈鳞癌组表达水平较正常宫颈上皮升高(P＜0.05);统计分析未发现三种蛋白的表达存在显著相关性.结论 p14ARF-MDM2-p53细胞周期调节通路与宫颈癌发生发展有关并有望用于CIN及宫颈癌的诊断.
