    This work aims to identify trends in Ibero-American scientific production in relation to the experiences of engineering students. For this, a bibliometric and content analysis of the articles published in journals indexed in WoS from January 1995 to June 2022 was carried out. The findings show: 1) an upward trend in the articles published over time, 2) an leadership of Spain in the generation of knowledge, 3) good levels of international scientific collaboration, and 4) two main research topics: “Technology as a facilitator of the teaching-learning process” and “Alternative teaching approaches, methods and initiatives”. We concluded that, when talking about student experiences in engineering is mainly associated with the training process, understood as the approaches, methods and initiatives that emerge as alternatives to traditional methods. Active learning, strongly associated with the pursuit of critical thinking, as well as the use of technologies, are the main aspects highlighted.El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las tendencias en la producción científica iberoamericana en relación a las experiencias de los estudiantes de ingeniería.

    The aim of this article is to study through a bibliometric and content analysis, the literature available in Web of Science on organizational learning in the context of higher education. The results reveal that: since 2012 there is an increased production of knowledge in the field; publications belong mainly to US authors; a low level of international scientific collaboration is observed; a large part of the publications are in education journals; and there are two main streams of analysis, the first one discusses organizational learning as a central focus for the adaptation process, while the second one concentrates on looking for relationships between this and other desirable outcomes. The findings are discussed and implications for the development of organizational learning are presented.El objetivo de este artículo es el de estudiar mediante un análisis bibliométrico y de contenido, la literatura disponible en Web of Science sobre aprendizaje organizacional en el contexto de la educación superior.

    Recent studies have investigated the control of adipose tissue expansion and inflammatory process by microRNAs (miRNAs). These two processes are of great interest because both are associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, despite the great relevance of the role of miRNAs in obesity and adipose tissue, no qualitative and quantitative analysis on the subject has been performed. Thus, we aimed to examine global research activity and current trends with respect to the interaction between obesity, adipose tissue and miRNAs through a bibliometric analysis. This research was performed on the Scopus database for publications containing miRNA, obesity, and adipose tissue keyword combinations. In total, 898 articles were analyzed and the most frequently occurring keywords were selected and clustered into three well-defined groups. As a result, first group of keywords pointed to the research area on miRNAs expressed in obesity-associated diseases. The second group demonstrated the regulation of the adipogenesis process by miRNAs, while the third group highlighted brown adipose tissue and thermogenesis as one of the latest global research trends related to the theme. The studies selected in this paper describe the expression and performance of different miRNAs in obesity and comorbidities. Most studies have focused on identifying miRNAs and signaling pathways associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. Thus, the miRNA profile for these diseases may be used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the prevention and treatment of obesity-associated diseases812CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP132365/2018-9sem informação17/09602-4; 2017/19504-

    Efficient Post-processing of Diffusion Tensor Cardiac Magnetic Imaging Using Texture-conserving Deformable Registration

    Full text link
    Diffusion tensor based cardiac magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) is a method capable of providing non-invasive measurements of myocardial microstructure. Image registration is essential to correct image shifts due to intra and inter breath-hold motion. Registration is challenging in DT-CMR due to the low signal-to-noise and various contrasts induced by the diffusion encoding in the myocardial and surrounding organs. Traditional deformable registration destroys the texture information while rigid registration inefficiently discards frames with local deformation. In this study, we explored the possibility of deep learning-based deformable registration on DT- CMR. Based on the noise suppression using low-rank features and diffusion encoding suppression using variational auto encoder-decoder, a B-spline based registration network extracted the displacement fields and maintained the texture features of DT-CMR. In this way, our method improved the efficiency of frame utilization, manual cropping, and computational speed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, conferenc
