Benefits of Computer Based Content Analysis to Foresight
Purpose of the article: The present manuscript summarizes benefits of the use of computer-based content
analysis in a generation phase of foresight initiatives. Possible advantages, disadvantages and limitations of
the content analysis for the foresight projects are discussed as well.
Methodology/methods: In order to specify the benefits and identify the limitations of the content analysis
within the foresight, results of the generation phase of a particular foresight project performed without
and subsequently with the use of computer based content analysis tool were compared by two proposed
measurements.
Scientific aim: The generation phase of the foresight is the most demanding part in terms of analysis duration,
costs and resources due to a significant amount of reviewed text. In addition, the conclusions of the foresight
evaluation are dependent on personal views and perceptions of the foresight analysts as the evaluation is
based merely on reading. The content analysis may partially or even fully replace the reading and provide an
important benchmark.
Findings: The use of computer based content analysis tool significantly reduced time to conduct the foresight
generation phase. The content analysis tool showed very similar results as compared to the evaluation
performed by the standard reading. Only ten % of results were not revealed by the use of content analysis tool.
On the other hand, several new topics were identified by means of content analysis tool that were missed by
the reading.
Conclusions: The results of two measurements should be subjected to further testing within more foresight
projects to validate them. The computer based content analysis tool provides valuable benchmark to the
foresight analysts and partially substitute the reading. However, a complete replacement of the reading is not
recommended, as deep understanding to weak signals interpretation is essential for the foresight
Impact of the Information and Communication Technologies on the Education of Students with Down Syndrome: a Bibliometric Study (2008- 2018)
This article analyzes the impact of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on students with Down
syndrome through the consult of scientific articles published during the 2008 to 2018 period, in five scientific journal databases
utilized in the academic world. Through a descriptive and quantitative methodology, the most significant bibliometric data according
to citation index is shown. Likewise, a methodology based on the analysis of co-words and clustering techniques is applied through a
bibliometric maps, in order to determine the fields of scientific study. The results show that articles published have a medium-low
index of impact. There are linked with the importance of using ICT with these students, from educational inclusion and accessibility
perspective
DEEP: a provenance-aware executable document system
The concept of executable documents is attracting growing interest from both academics and publishers since it is a promising technology for the dissemination of scientific results. Provenance is a kind of metadata that provides a rich description of the derivation history of data products starting from their original sources. It has been used in many different e-Science domains and has shown great potential in enabling reproducibility of scientific results. However, while both executable documents and provenance are aimed at enhancing the dissemination of scientific results, little has been done to explore the integration of both techniques. In this paper, we introduce the design and development of DEEP, an executable document environment that generates scientific results dynamically and interactively, and also records the provenance for these results in the document. In this system, provenance is exposed to users via an interface that provides them with an alternative way of navigating the executable document. In addition, we make use of the provenance to offer a document rollback facility to users and help to manage the system's dynamic resources
