“…Our work clarifies that it is only knowledge reflected in education -and not experience, echoed by age -that positively influences innovation. This finding is consistent with a significant part of previous research (Colombo et al, 2017;Crespo & Crespo, 2016;Miguelez et al, 2011;Rupietta & Backes-Gellner, 2017;Teixeira & Fortuna, 2010).…”

“…Investments in education explain a significant part of rise in total factor productivity in Portugal (Teixeira & Fortuna, 2010) as well as across the European Union (Bonin, 2017). Crespo and Crespo (2016) show that a high "level and standard of education" is linked with high innovation performance. Colombo and co-authors (2017) report that the share of employees with at least a university degree in the workforce is a significant predictor of R&D-to-Sales Human Capital, Its Constituents, and Entrepreneurial Innovation Vijay Vyas and Renuka Vyas ratio.…”

“…Subramaniam and Youndt (2005), for instance, report that human capital is adversely related to radical innovation capability, Marvel and Lumpkin (2007) find that market knowledge is negatively influences radical innovation, and Delgado-Verde and co-authors (2016) do not find support for their proposed inverted U-shaped positive effect of human capital on radical innovation. At the same time, many studies examining this relationship report a positive link (e.g., Colombo et al, 2017;Crespo & Crespo, 2016;Kianto et al, 2017;Miguélez et al, 2011;Rupietta & Backes-Gellner, 2017). Teixeira and Fortuna (2010) argue that, "human capital is generally poorly proxied, and measurement problems are particularly acute when it comes to this variable".…”

“…However, the country accounts for only 0.22% of Latin American STI research outputs and has negligible rates of patent awards [4, 10]. Despite a decade of relative political stability and government education expenditures exceeding 8% of GDP—highest in the region and far above any developed country, with the United States, United Kingdom, and France investing less than 6% of GDP [11-13] — Bolivia consistently places last in the region according to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Global Innovation Index measures [14, 15]. The country does not implement standardized education metrics such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), further obfuscating causal analyses and international oversight [16] and raising a need for alternative methods of analysis.…”

43Particular challenges exist for science education in the developing world, 44where limited resources beget curricula designed to balance state-of-the-art 45 knowledge with practical and political considerations in region-specific contexts. 46Project-based biology teaching is particularly difficult to execute due to high 47 infrastructural costs and limited teacher training. Here, we report our results 48 implementing short, challenging, and low-cost biology courses to high school and 49 college students in Bolivia, designed and taught in collaboration between 50 scientists from developed nations and local science instructors. We find our 51 approach to be effective at transmitting advanced topics in disease modeling, 52 microscopy, genome engineering, neuroscience, microbiology, and regenerative 53 biology. Importantly, this approach was unaffected by the students' backgrounds, 54 education level, socioeconomic status, or initial interest in the course, and 55 increased participants' interest in pursuing scientific careers. These results 56 demonstrate efficacy of participatory learning in a developing nation, and suggest 57 that such techniques could drive scientific engagement in other developing 58 economies. 59 60 61 Countries, Latin America 63 64 65 66 relatively small territory the most diverse country in Latin America [7, 90 8].

“…Relevant management measures for the provision of long-term BF production were elaborated. For setting out of the tools, the "before and after" conditions comparison method was used [14], as well as the contemporary methodology of Global Innovation Index [15][16][17], National Report on Innovations in Russia [18], some materials from publications on innovation management [19][20][21][22][23] were taken into account. Based on proposed tools with the using of grouping and determination methods [24][25][26], potential risks have been estimated.…”

Diffusion of the biofuels (BF) using is justified by opening up the opportunities for obtaining fuel and energy from previously inaccessible sources and by the existence of energy-deficient regions, in particular in Russia. Works of different scientists on the problems of creating and using BF were the methodological basis of this study. Information on the state and prospects of the development of renewable energy sources in Russian regions was collected from regulatory documents and was obtained by employing a questionnaire survey. For the study of the collected materials, the different methods of comparative analysis, and the methods of expert assessments were used. The results of the Status-Quo analysis of BF production in Russia have shown that the creation of BF performed relatively successfully. However, there are many more perspectives, connected with expanding the utilization of the different raw materials. Also, the analysis of organizational and economic mechanisms applied for production of BF and the obtained data on several organizations-producers allowed for proposing six indexes for the assessment of the BF production effectiveness. It is suggested that BF production in Russia will contribute to the sustainable development of a number of the country's regions in the near future.Energies 2019, 12, 3948 2 of 30 impact of permanent anthropogenic factors has required the taking of appropriate measures in this field both at the federal and regional levels. In particular, the accumulation of industrial, agricultural, and household wastes is becoming an essential incentive for the development of innovative activities aiming at the production of biofuel (BF). According to the existing data [3], the resource potential of recyclable organic waste biomass, including solid household wastes and sediments of wastewaters reaches 13,490.26 tons of coal equivalent (TCE) per year in Russia. This study led both at the federal level and in particular regions which have significant differences in terms of economic, geographic, and climatic conditions. According to pessimistic forecasts, the share of green energy in the Russian economy will arrive at 3-5% by 2035, according to positive ones, it will be equal to 8-10%. The proposed share of BF in the production of electric and heat energy with targeted management could be about 2-3% [4].Different geographic, climatic, economic, and other conditions in regions of Russia necessitate solving several scientific problems for optimization of the existing regional programs for the provision of sustainable development and determination of the role of REn and BF production in them.Therefore, the progress in BF production achieved in some leading countries has become a significant factor which causes a positive impact on the sustainable development of their economies. This gives rise to the suggestion that Russia has some conditions for a more extensive application of REn, in particular, for BF production and use. Correspondingly, this article characterizes some general trends of B...
