Adoption of Network Analysis Techniques to Understand the Training Process in Brazil

Abstract

The migration of Brazilians has become more and more frequent nowadays, with the main purpose of obtaining better living conditions. Studies indicate that one of the main reasons for migration is the search for training at a high level of training. Therefore, in this scenario, this research has as main objective to analyze the exodus of Brazilian students during their academic formation process, from data extracted from their curricula registered in the Lattes Platform with the adoption of network analysis techniques. The Lattes Platform was used for referring to one of the main Brazilian academic repositories, and for having relevant information for this research. Therefore, the LattesDataXplorer framework was used for the extraction and treatment of the data. Subsequently, the data set of individuals with a doctorate completed were selected because they are individuals with a higher level of education and who maintain a constant update of their curricula. Once this was done, data was enriched with geolocation and information from the institutions where they trained, in order to obtain results from distances covered by doctors. As a way of visualizing data, network analysis was used, and metrics were used to obtain an overview of how the Brazilian scientific exodus occurs. A high concentration of doctors is perceived in cities with a higher concentration of universities that have postgraduate programs at the master's and doctoral level, as well as being characterized by having higher incomes per capita.

Design thinking program on the google classroom platform on creativity in high school students

“…According to the exposed literature. (38) where the study of the incursion and the creative processes in its various stages increased the grades to 7.72 because the di tec methodology was based on the use of technologies as part of a creative strategy generating knowledge within of the various disciplines. It coincides with the results of (36) in the application of the Student's T statistic, finding significant differences, as well as average scores demonstrating high creative capacity in student performance.…”

“…(37) determined that the methodology has been evaluated in various centers and institutions with the purpose of innovating and improving traditional teaching, reporting success in creativity, likewise the results of the design in selfesteem was 14.6%, in happiness it was 80, 7% and in satisfaction 41% being significant. For his part, (38) stated that design thinking was a creative and curricular strategy that used digital tools to generate knowledge, as well as creativity. From the quantitative point of view, the results from the stages of creating and experimenting, the averages presented higher scores of 7.71 and 7.72 with a range of 0.71 points, signifying good management in the use of the methodology.…”

A view of the academic family trees in Brazil

“…Mena-Chalco, Digiampietri and Cesar-Jr (2012) present the following two important reasons that reinforce the Lattes Platform importance: It has become a national standard (Brazil) and has been used in assessing Brazilian researchers' activities; and that researchers from the most diverse areas of knowledge are registered in the Platform.…”

“…Furthermore, the fact that the Lattes Platform gathers in a single repository, information of all Brazilian scientific production, which allows for analyses that at times, would only be possible through international repositories, also stands out. It is possible to highlight diverse studies that have used the Lattes Platform as main source of data (Dias;Dias y Moita, 2022;Coimbra y Dias, 2021;Mascarenhas;Dias y Dias, 2020;Moreira;Dias y Moita, 2017).…”

Evaluation of the effectiveness of personal electronic health assistants in monitoring patients with chronic diseases

“…As technology continues to advance, the question arises as to whether these digital solutions can really make a difference in the lives of patients with chronic diseases [39][40][41][42]. While research in eHealth has yielded promising results in terms of improvements in treatment adherence and management of diseases such as diabetes [43][44][45], there is still a critical need for rigorous, evidence-based evaluations [46][47][48][49]. The evidence on the actual impact of eHealth tools on concrete clinical outcomes, such as blood pressure control in hypertensive patients, is mixed [50][51][52][53] and requires further investigation.…”
