“…This focus of nearly all of student opinions on these two categories showed that students had moved from the opinion that knowledge, which is gained from both scientific experiments and studies conducted in the laboratory, is utilized through its application in the production of technology and technological equipment that occur in daily life. Furthermore, there have been studies in the literature which remarked on the bidirectional interaction between science and technology (Barlex & Pitt, 2002;Bybee, 2000;Chavez & Moro, 2007;McClellan & Dorn, 2006;Rose & Dugger, 2002).…”

“…When the literature is examined, scientists assert that science and technology are dependent on each other (Barlex & Pitt, 2002); there is a dynamic information flow between them (Chavez & Moro, 2007) and they are important for the society and they should develop (Sjøberg & Schreiner, 2006). According to the study of Rose and Dugger (2002), about 60% of the American society states that science and technology are basically the same.…”

Determining what students think about science, technology, and society (STS) is of great importance. This also provides the basis for scientific literacy. As such, this study was conducted with a total of 102 senior students attending a university located in western Turkey. This study utilized the survey model as a research model and the qualitative data collection method for gathering data. A questionnaire consisting of five open-ended questions was submitted to students who participated in the study. Separate categories were structured for the responses to each question. These categories were analyzed to present student-opinion profiles, and the percentages of student responses were then calculated. According to the results of this study, most students defined both the concepts of science and technology with concrete meanings. In addition, student opinions related to the significance of science and technology for society were collected under seven main categories and presented using a mind map. Separately, students were mostly of the opinion that science comes before technology. Finally, most of the students were found to see the future of science and technology as good.

“…Por otro lado, la producción tecnológica local igualmente es muy pequeña e insuficiente para estimular la creación de nuevos campos de investigación científica. En resumen, la dependencia mutua entre ciencia y tecnología en el campo de la medicina (Nelson 1993;Gelijns y Rosenberg 1995;Chaves y Moro 2007) no se ha establecido en el caso brasileño. De esta manera, la gran fragilidad de la base productiva relacionada con el sector de salud en Brasil se refleja en el déficit comercial del sector, que es alto y creciente en especial con respecto a productos de alta tecnología.…”

Fecha de recepción: 5 de mayo del 2015 Fecha de aceptación y versión final: 9 de julio del 2016 RESUMEN: Siguiendo el enfoque de sistema de innovación, el artículo tiene el objetivo de contribuir a caracterizar el proceso de innovación en el área de salud. Para esto, fueron analizadas las interacciones entre actores del sistema de salud en Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. El estudio se basa en un conjunto de datos secundarios y primarios y se caracteriza por ser un estudio empírico exploratorio. Los datos primarios se recogieron a través de cuestionarios y entrevistas cara a cara. Los datos secundarios fueron obtenidos del Directorio de Grupos de Investigación del Consejo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico y fueron utilizados para la construcción de redes de interacción. El análisis ha demostrado que, si bien se reconoce la presencia en el sistema de salud local de una serie de organizaciones, las interacciones entre los diversos subsistemas -servicios, de enseñanza e investigación e industriales-son poco frecuentes. Entre los actores que se destacaron como centrales en las redes están: un hospital universitario, universidades tradicionales de investigación del Estado y organizaciones de distintos tipos y tamaños.Palabras clave: sistema de innovación de la salud; redes de interacciones entre actores; Brasil. ABSTRACT: Following the approach of the innovation system, the article aims to contribute to characterize the innovation process in the health area. It was analyzed interactions among actors of the health system in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The study was based on a set of secondary and primary data and is characterized as an exploratory empirical study. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Secondary data were obtained from the Directory of Research Groups of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, Brazil, and were used to build interactions networks. The analysis has shown that although the recognized presence in the local health system of a number of organizations, interactions among the various subsystems -services, teaching and research, and industrial-are rare. Among the actors who stood out as central players in the network are: a university hospital, traditional research universities and a various types and sizes of productive sector organizations. © Ediciones Universidad de

“…Besides, by the scientific innovation based on the basic researches, many valuable innovative ideas which help design patents, production system or service process can be devoted to the development of economy indirectly. CHAVES & MORO [2007] showed the significant interaction and mutual dependence between science (papers) and technology (patents). YANG & CHUNG [1996] indicated that basic scientific researches can yield a synergy effect with domestic innovation in the dynamic process of assimilation, absorption, improvement, and indigenization of the technologies imported from technologically advanced countries.…”

This study develops and tests an integrated conceptual model of basic research evaluation from a varying perspective. The main objective is to obtain a more complete understanding of the external factors affecting the publicly fund basic research in a country. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) is used to test the conceptual model with empirical data collected from WCY (World Competitiveness Yearbook) and ESI (Essential Science Indicators) database. Interrelationships among the research output and outcome, together with three external factors (resource, impetus, accumulative advantage) have been successfully explored and the conceptual model of journal evaluation has been examined.
