AbstractThe study empirically examines the nexus between human capital and economic growth in Nigeria between 1981 and 2017. This is predated by poor policy impact across the key sectors of the economy, such as education and health that would have transformed productivity to economic in Nigeria. In order to address this ugly happening, the study therefore employed vector autoregressive and Johansen techniques. The results disclosed that the estimated coefficients of human capital have long-run significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Also, the diagnostic tests were used to check the validity of the techniques adopted in the study. Interestingly, results from normality test, VEC residual serial correlation LM tests and VEC residual heteroskedasticity tests confirm the justification and validity of the estimated results obtained in this research. Drawing way forward, this study therefore recommends the need to sustain economic in Nigeria through increase budgetary allocation to education and health sector to boost human capital skills needed to drive knowledge-based economy. Also, government should establish special agencies with the responsibility of improving the skills and capabilities of human capital across all educational levels of the federation so as to sustain growth in the long run.

Objectives: The aim of this work was to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the health technology assessment (HTA) concept in the scientific literature through a scientometric approach.Methods: A literature search was conducted, by selecting publications, as well as news from the media, containing “health technology assessment” in their title, abstracts, or keywords. We then undertook a bibliometric and network analysis on the corpus of 2,865 publications thus obtained.Results: Since a first publication in 1978, interest in HTA remained marginal until a turning point in the late 1980s, when growth of the number of publications took off alongside the creation of the U.K.’s NICE agency. Since then, publications have spread across several journals. The ranking of the organizations that publish such articles does not reflect any hegemonic position. However, HTA-related scientific production is strongly concentrated in Commonwealth and Nordic countries. Despite its transnational aspects, research on HTA has been framed within a small number of scientific networks and by a few opinion leaders.Conclusions: The “career” of the HTA concept may be seen as a scientific-knowledge based institutionalization of a public policy. To succeed in a country, HTA first needs scientific prerequisites, such as an organized scientific community working on the health sector and health services. Then, it appears that the recognition of this research by decision makers plays a key role in the development of the field.

Health care systems are experiencing challenges of improving the quality of care and decreasing the risk of adverse events health consumers are likely to be exposed to globally. Nursing, as a social and humanistic discipline is structured within the care process, is interrelated with the phenomena of the experienced world in which the other cohabits. As the profession expands it body of knowledge based on elements from nursing practices, it has to develop instruments that qualify its care process, such as classifications that seek to diagnose, foresee results and define interventions in the health and disease process. Research has shown that proven effective intervention now exist that would enable all countries to meet the health care challenges through improvement in evidence based practice as a result of the introduction of knowledge translation in the health sector. It is believed that studies on knowledge translation are absorbed in practice, but more robust designs are needed to put these results into practice, with consequent benefits for health teams, patients and family members. Care is however required to avoid the knowledge translation imperative that would give a translational perspective to nursing research.

Abstract. Research demonstrates that the negative relationship between Openness to Experience and conservatism is heightened among the informed. We extend this literature using national survey data (Study 1; N = 13,203) and data from students (Study 2; N = 311). As predicted, education – a correlate of political sophistication – strengthened the negative relationship between Openness and conservatism (Study 1). Study 2 employed a knowledge-based measure of political sophistication to show that the Openness × Political Sophistication interaction was restricted to the Openness aspect of Openness. These studies demonstrate that knowledge helps people align their ideology with their personality, but that the Openness × Political Sophistication interaction is specific to one aspect of Openness – nuances that are overlooked in the literature.
