Exploring the Science-Technology Linkage: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of the Interplay between Scientific Articles and Patents
Moresi, E. Machado, L. Pinho, I. Costa, A.
Abstract
This paper comprehensively explores the science-technology linkage, employing quantitative and qualitative research methods to unravel the interplay between scientific articles and patents. By examining this relationship, our study aims to shed light on the profound impact of scientific knowledge, traditionally confined to academia, on technological advancement and innovation. We employ a rigorous methodology involving comprehensive analysis from the Web of Science and the Derwent Innovations Index. We utilise performance indicators, thematic maps, and content analysis to uncover the intricate connections between scientific and technological outputs. We use the Bibliometrix tool to identify the most frequent keywords and code them as unigrams, replacing words with unigrams in the abstracts of articles and patents and generating a thematic map of abstract bigrams. Adhering to the vocabulary fit criteria, we analyse the resulting communities and concepts from the thematic map to define inclusion and exclusion criteria for qualitative analysis. The selection of documents for content analysis and the preparation of the research report completes our approach. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, our study uncovers complex relationships between scientific and technological outputs and provides valuable insights into their dynamics from 2004 to 2023. The results of our research have substantial implications for the ongoing discourse within research and policy communities regarding the role of scientific knowledge in driving technological innovation. As a valuable resource, this study is a guiding compass for policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals seeking to harness the synergy between scientific research and technological development for societal and economic progress. Our comprehensive quantitative and qualitative research approach offers a nuanced understanding of the science-technology linkage, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions and drive meaningful innovation.

Children with gastrostomy require specialised care, it is challenging for family members to provide safe care at home. Objectives: describe the home care practice of mothers for children with gastrostomy; analyze the strategies used by mothers to care for these children at home. Methodology: qualitative research, sensitive creative method, dynamics Body Knowlodge. Participants: 10 mothers of children who have gastrostomy. The empirical material was analyzed by Iramuteq® software. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee, Rio de Janeiro- Brasil. Results: showed two themes: First, “The Care for the Maintenance of Life carried out by Mothers of Children with gastrostomy at home”, presents the care with the tube, stoma and feeding, technological care and medication of the child with gastrostomy at home. Second, formed by “The Concrete Reality of Children with Gastrostomy and the Learning Process of Mothers for Home Care”, shows science and faith as support in coping with the care of children with gastrostomy, in the daily struggle to overcome limitations and social prejudices also in the teaching-learning process of nursing and family caregivers. Conclusion: Mothers embrace the technical care, which is not part of common and maternal knowledge, having to deal with technological aspects of a gastrostomy device thus generating an impact on personal life and family, providing them with all the care in relation to the maintenance and hygiene of the device as well as the administration of food and medication. These mothers found the strength to overcome all difficulties and daily challenges due to their faith in science and divinity. Implications for health professionals are to train mothers to care and support their children, value their faith and spirituality also strengthening their relationship with the health care network and the social support network.

Introduction. Diagnostic overshadowing is a form of discrimination that occurs when physical symptoms reported by a person living with a mental illness (PLMI) are wrongly attributed to mental health disorders. However, the concept of diagnostic overshadowing remains underdeveloped, and it has evolved little since its first mention in 1982.
Goals and Methods. The main objective of our study is to develop a definition of diagnostic overshadowing shared by PLMI and health professionals, which will be based on scientific and experiential knowledge. The method used aims to reduce the epistemic injustices suffered by PLMI. To do this, we propose an update of the hybrid concept development method of Schwartz-Barcott & Kim. This method consists of three iteratively used phases: 1) theoretical phase; 2) field phase, and 3) analytical phase. The theoretical phase will be a scoping review, and the field phase will be developed from qualitative interviews with PWLMHP and frontline caregivers. The 3rd phase integrates the results from phases 1 and 2. The entire process is carried out in co-construction of knowledge with PLMI who act as experts-by-experience.
Results. The expected results are the development of a definition of the concept of diagnostic overshadowing and an in-depth description of it, all constructed considering the viewpoint of the people concerned. Also, it is hoped that the results will shed new light on the strategies for dealing with diagnostic overshadowing that are identified as successful by the participants, all while focusing on their recommendations to reduce this phenomenon.
Conclusions. This project allows for empowerment and civic participation of people who have experiential knowledge of the phenomenon. Moreover, this project is carried out in partnership with a Collective of service users. They will use these results to develop awareness-raising material
