TReND in Africa: Toward a Truly Global (Neuro)science Community
2020
TReND is a volunteer-scientist run charity dedicated to promoting research and education on the African continent. Focusing on neuroscience, we discuss approaches to address some of the factors that currently stifle Africa's scientific development and our experience in implementing them.
Bibliometric Analysis of Fitness Equipment: How Scientific Focuses Affect Life-Cycle Approaches and Sustainable Ways of Development
2019
Research Question: Although fitness equipment is recognised worldwide as a tool for physical activities and a sustainable result in optimizing human movements within a wide range of environments, the state of the art and scientific advances have not been analysed from a bibliometric point of view. Research Methods: Using descriptive bibliometric software, this study examined the scientific production, and the most prolific authors, articles, and institutions. Bibliometric maps were used to visualise the content of published articles and to determine the most prolific terms, co-citation, and co-authorship. Results and Findings: A total of 678 original papers were retrieved from 447 journals …
Ein modernes Lehrbuch wird 100 Jahre alt
2008
The appearance of Albert Hoffa's "Textbook book of orthopaedics" in 1891 saw the young special discipline enter a new phase of professionalisation in the German-speaking countries. Hoffa defined in this work the scope and methodology of orthopaedics in a sense that is still valid today. By including operative and conservative forms of treatment, he created the foundation for a continued scientific development of the subject. Only with the appearance of Hoffa's work did orthopaedics gain acceptance as a special area by many physicians. The far-reaching influence and significance of the textbook for orthopaedics is portrayed with the aid of historic sources.
La responsabilidad social de las universidades a través de la memoria cinematográfica
2013
[ES] Este artículo rescata una interesante película británica filmada en 1983 por Lewis Gilbert, "Educando a Rita", referencia fiel a la memoria de los inicios de la Open University, a su espíritu de innovación educativa, pionera en la educación universitaria a distancia en Europa. La cinta explora temas relevantes relativos a la educación superior y susceptibles de análisis en al menos cuatro dimensiones: la cultura de la institución universitaria, la profesionalidad docente, la metodología de enseñanza y el papel del alumnado en los estudios superiores. Las dimensiones consideradas requieren de un elemento posibilitador, de reflexión curricular: la orientación de los planes de estudio. El…
Application principles of excimer lasers in ophthalmology
2010
Abstract Excimer lasers (193 nm) can be used for photoablation of the human cornea due to their specific physical characteristics. This laser is applied in corneal refractive surgery for the targeted removal of corneal tissue for the purpose of correcting refractive errors. This article provides a short overview of the scientific development of excimer lasers for use in ophthalmic surgery and of the range of applications of these tools.
