The objective was to verify the proportion of dentists in relation to the Angolan population, to undergraduate and graduate courses in dentistry, and to analyze the pedagogical projects of the existing courses. This is a descriptive, exploratory and documentary study that analyzed data on the population and the number of dentists in Angola, obtained through information from the National Statistics Institute and the Order of Doctors of Angola. An application for cell phones called “Qualificar”, made available by the Angolan government, was used to collect information about the existing courses. The websites of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation; National Institute for Evaluation, Accreditation and Recognition of Higher Education Studies in Angola; and the National Press were consulted to collect data related to higher education in Angola. Information on pedagogical projects was obtained directly from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Angola has 701 dentists registered for a population of 30,175,553 inhabitants, that is, a proportion of 1/43,460. Among the eighty existing HEIs, only ten were authorized by the government to offer undergraduate courses in dentistry: six were located in the country's capital and four were distributed in other provinces, with workload varying from 4,688 to 5,536 hours. It was concluded that of the seven academic regions in the country, 4 do not have courses in dentistry; the number of dentists is not compatible with the population of Angola; no HEI offered postgraduate courses in dentistry and there is no standardization of pedagogical projects among the existing undergraduate courses.

Higher education is the last phase of the academic learning process, that is, the one that comes after the secondary stage. It is provided at universities, colleges or technical training academies. The education offered by higher education is at the professional level. The objective of the study was to analyze the management of Higher Education in the country and to describe the main activities of the institutions linked to these activities. The main results indicate that three institutions are the protagonists in management. The Secretariat of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (SENESCYT), the Council for Quality Assurance in Education (CACES) and the Council of Higher Education (CES). Higher education is one of the main drivers of societal evolution. Investing in education is vital to ensure a prosperous and competitive socioeconomic system. Higher education has a high responsibility to society: they are responsible for preparing the professionals of the future.

The alignment of personal and organizational values can positively influence performance. Considering the motivational aspect of these values, organizations and workers seek to satisfy their goals and needs through work. Thus, the study of personal and organizational values of university professors can contribute to the production of science, technology and innovation through committed professionals with this strategic axis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate work-related values and their relationship with organizational values. Sixty-eight professors from an institution of higher education, which focuses on innovation, participated in the study. The results showed that Realization at Work was the factor with the highest score; Social Relationships showed correlations with the organizational values Autonomy (p= 0.018), Realization (p= 0.001), Mastery (p= 0.048), Prestige (p= 0.001), Conformity (p= 0.016) and Concern with Community (p= 0.014). These results suggest the importance of values for satisfaction at work and organizational strategies.

Educación Científica

La ciencia ha fortalecido a través de la historia, la consolidación de los procesos tecnológicos y ha impactado en la cultura de los pueblos. Al formar parte de la cultura de la sociedad -incipiente en algunos casos, consolidada en otros- la ciencia ha colaborado en el entendimiento del momento histórico que viven las personas, se habla entonces de una cultura científica. En México, en los últimos 12 años, se han realizado diversos intentos por conocer aspectos diversos de la cultura científica de los mexicanos, a partir de conocer su percepción social de la ciencia. Las encuestas aplicadas por el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología. El Sistema Educativo Mexicano reconoce que la educación debe proporcionar una formación científica básica para brindar una plataforma común que atienda las necesidades educativas de los adolescentes y dé respuesta a las demandas de la sociedad, impulsando a la vez vocaciones que habrán de contribuir al desarrollo científico y tecnológico del país.En general, la enseñanza de la ciencia ha tratado de promover en los estudiantes una actitud científica, es decir intentar que adopten como formas de acercarse a los problemas los métodos de indagación y de experimentación usualmente atribuidos a la ciencia (Pozo, 2009).La presente investigación analiza la imagen que sobre ciencia y tecnología tienen los estudiantes del nivel medio y medio superior de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara del Estado de Jalisco México,  utilizando una metodología cuantitativa a través de la técnica de la encuesta “Percepción de los jóvenes sobre la ciencia y la profesión científica” del Observatorio de la Ciencia, la Tecnología y la Innovación del Centro de Altos Estudios Universitarios de la Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos (OEI), tomando una muestra representativa de 1,222 alumnos. La imagen global obtenida es ligeramente positiva, las características más valoradas son las contribuciones a la curación de enfermedades, a mejorar la vida diaria o para el desarrollo social y el futuro.  La percepción de los impactos negativos son: la incapacidad para resolver la pobreza o el hambre y la falta de confianza social. Por último, se examinan las implicaciones de los resultados de la educación científica y la comprensión pública de la ciencia y la tecnología.

Last year, there was an increase in the amount of manpower in Malaysia, especially in terms of the numbers of neurosurgeons, cognitive neuroscientists and clinical psychologists. One way to increase the number of cognitive neurotechnologists in the country in 2021 is to allow neuroscientists to register as neurotechnologists with the Malaysian Board of Technologists (MBOT). The Malaysian Brain Mapping project has risen from its humble beginnings as an initiative of the Universiti Sains Malaysia Brain Mapping Group in 2017. There is currently a proposal for its entry into the national arena via the Precision Medicine Initiative with the Academy Science Malaysia, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, Ministry of Higher Education and Ministry of Health. The current Malaysian Government’s Science, Technology, Innovation and Economy (STIE) plan was launched in 2020, leading to the establishment of neurotechnology as one of 10 STIE drivers.
