NEW LINK IN EXCHANGE OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION

ZusammenfassungWissenschaftliche Leistungen leben von der Originalität ihrer Urheber. Der Ver-such, sie zu quantifizieren, erscheint als Widerspruch in sich. Um so irritierender ist der Siegeszug des sogenannten Impact Factors, eines Konstrukts des amerikanischen Institute of Scientific Information (ISI), das den Anspruch stellt, über die Häufigkeit der Zitierung von – vom ISI erfaßten – Zeitschriften das Gewicht der in diesen publizierenden Wissenschaftler zu messen. Seit naturwissenschaftliche und medizinische Forschungseinrichtungen und Fakultäten dazu übergehen, den Impact Factor zur Grundlage für die Verteilung von Forschungsgeldern und zur Guillotine für wissenschaftliche Karrieren zu machen, schickt er sich an, die internationale Wissenschaftskultur zu verändern. Deshalb ist es an der Zeit, daß die Öffentlichkeit dieses Zeitgeistphänomen zur Kenntnis nimmt und sich mit seinen Folgen auseinandersetzt.

Clinical Terminology

An automated clinical record system must have the following characteristics: as far as the physician is concerned it must operate in natural language on standard sized paper; it must be able to accept information from the physician at a time when he is oriented to clinical terminology and a clinical mode of thinking; it must have an output which is clinically useful for the care and management of a patient; each item of information must be addressable so that it may act as an index for scientific information retrieval; it must be capable of accepting quantative and natural language information.Clinical information constitutes a mathematical set, only a few members of which are applicable to any particular clinical situation, and to which new members are constantly being added. The members of this set are seldom mutually exclusive. An acceptable system which is capable of processing this type of information has been designed utilizing the concepts of self-encoding forms and variable-field, variable-length records. Applications of these principles will expedite hospital automation, the establishment of drug evaluation information systems, and of regional and nationwide medical record systems.

Objective: This article describes and analyzes the main concepts of coastal ecosystems, these as a result of research concerning land-use change assessments in coastal areas. Design/Methodology/Approach: Scientific articles were searched using keywords in English and Spanish. Articles regarding land-use change assessment in coastal areas were selected, discarding those that although being on coastal zones and geographic and soil identification did not use Geographic Information System (GIS). Results: A GIS is a computer-based tool for evaluating the land-use change in coastal areas by quantifying variations. It is analyzed through GIS and its contributions; highlighting its importance and constant monitoring. Limitations of the study/Implications: This research analyzes national and international scientific information, published from 2007 to 2019, regarding the land-use change in coastal areas quantified with the digital GIS tool. Findings/Conclusions: GIS are useful tools in the identification and quantitative evaluation of changes in land-use in coastal ecosystems; which require constant evaluation due to their high dynamism.
