La principal tarea de los recién asumidos Gobernadores Regionales, en cuanto son una institución nueva en el sistema público chileno, tiene una elevada complejidad. En efecto, la omnipresencia secular de la cultura centralista y la operación actual de las instituciones nacionales que operan con ese "piloto automático" otorga al centralismo la categoría de "problema perverso" o enmarañado. En este artículo intentamos encontrar los hilos que nos permitan ir desenredando esa madeja, identificando al interior del sistema centralista de gobierno territorial las acciones necesarias para ir generando un nuevo sistema institucional más democrático y eficiente.

Background Medical knowledge is accumulated in scientific research papers along time. In order to exploit this knowledge by automated systems, there is a growing interest in developing text mining methodologies to extract, structure, and analyze in the shortest time possible the knowledge encoded in the large volume of medical literature. In this paper, we use the Latent Dirichlet Allocation approach to analyze the correlation between funding efforts and actually published research results in order to provide the policy makers with a systematic and rigorous tool to assess the efficiency of funding programs in the medical area. Results We have tested our methodology in the Revista Medica de Chile, years 2012-2015. 50 relevant semantic topics were identified within 643 medical scientific research papers. Relationships between the identified semantic topics were uncovered using visualization methods. We have also been able to analyze the funding patterns of scientific research underlying these publications. We found that only 29% of the publications declare funding sources, and we identified five topic clusters that concentrate 86% of the declared funds. Conclusions Our methodology allows analyzing and interpreting the current state of medical research at a national level. The funding source analysis may be useful at the policy making level in order to assess the impact of actual funding policies, and to design new policies. ; CONICYT, Programa de Formacion de Capital Humano avanzado CONICYT-PCHA/Doctorado Nacional/2015-21150115 FEDER funds for the MINECO project TIN2017-85827-P Elkartek 2018 funding program KK-2018/00071 KK2018/00082 European Union (EU) 777720
