The role of Peruvian female inventors in technological development is reflected in their growing participation in patent creation, highlighting the importance of gender equity in innovation despite structural and cultural barriers that hinder their access to technological and financial resources. In 2022, 74 patent applications by women were recorded, primarily for utility models, while invention patents remain less common due to their greater complexity. Public policies have been essential in promoting female inclusion, but these measures need to be strengthened to address persistent inequalities and achieve greater equity in scientific and technological fields.

The study seeks to relate the empowerment of women accountants and social responsibility, the research is basic, combining quantitative and qualitative methods, descriptive-correlational research level, three data collection techniques were applied: survey, documentary review and interview, the instruments used were questionnaire, documentary review form, and interview guide, the information was processed using Spearman's Rho statistic; The results show a high positive correlation between “empowerment of women accountants” and “Corporate Social Responsibility”, with a coefficient of 0.826, also a high positive correlation between “empowerment of women accountants” and “Internal public - respect for the individual”, with a coefficient of 0.797 and finally a positive relationship between “empowerment of women accountants” and “Internal public - respect for the individual”, with a coefficient of 0.797, 797 and finally a high positive relationship between the empowerment of women accountants with the environment-responsibility to future generations, with a coefficient of 0.716, likewise IT increases efficiency in both business management and CSR with full participation of women, favoring inclusion and positive impact on sustainability and gender equity. The study concludes that the empowerment of women accountants and CSR have a high positive relationship, showing that the greater the empowerment, the greater the participation in CSR.

This study analyzed how access to financial resources and participation in support networks enable rural women to achieve empowerment and how these factors help to overcome gender inequality. The article was developed under a qualitative approach using interviews with members of a communal textile production organization. The results showed that women have certain limitations in accessing financial resources compared to men; however, training has allowed women to enter the world of microfinance, increasing their participation in leadership and decision-making roles. In addition, the credit network has allowed the organizations' economies to grow and become sustainable. It is concluded that access to resources and collective support are key to reducing gender inequality and empowering women in rural areas

This study addresses the persistent gender gap in engineering fields, analyzing the most effective interventions to reduce it in higher education. It highlights the social, institutional, and psychological barriers that perpetuate the underrepresentation of women in engineering and explores interventions such as mentoring programs, curriculum transformation, and the application of Social Cognitive Theory and Self-Determination Theory to promote gender equality. The review identifies the influence of contextual factors, such as socio-economic and cultural differences, on the effectiveness of these strategies. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for longitudinal research and integrated approaches to address educational, sociocultural, and institutional barriers. The study underscores the importance of linking local initiatives with the Sustainable Development Goals to promote gender equity in engineering education.

Tardigrades (commonly known as "water bears") are microscopic animals whose bodies are usually less than 1 mm long, they are microscopic bilaterian organisms that belong to the phylum Tardigrada. These organisms are best known for initiating and maintaining a state of dormancy known as cryptobiosis. This ability allows them to survive in unfavorable environments and to inhabit places characterized by extreme temperatures, variable water availability, etc. (e.g., Antarctica). Antarctica is of great scientific interest, as the extreme environmental conditions require unique adaptive traits expressed by the organisms inhabiting this region. The presence of tardigrades in Antarctica has been scientifically documented, and their characteristics could be strategic in developing geobiological, astrobiological, and other areas of knowledge.

It is proposed to analyze female leadership in the business sector as a key factor to promote gender equality. Taking into consideration that female leadership in the city's business sector contributes to the advancement of gender equality in society. To address this issue, an analytical study was conducted using a validated questionnaire with a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.811, ensuring the reliability of the data collected. The results reveal significant progress in reducing gender gaps in the business and health sectors, driven by the guidelines of Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5), the country's Political Constitution, and various laws and regulations oriented towards equity. However, it was observed that gender inequality decreases as women occupy higher hierarchical positions, while larger gaps persist at the lower levels of organizations. Likewise, the level of academic education is identified as a crucial determinant for the reduction of these disparities. The findings confirm the initial hypothesis and underscore the need to continue strengthening policies and practices in the health and business sectors to achieve more comprehensive gender equality in the future.

This article addresses the organizational challenges faced by female Information Systems engineers to access managerial positions, taking as a case study the graduates of the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Delta, during the period 2013-2023.

The article presents the results of a survey applied to female engineers who graduated from the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Delta, with the purpose of analyzing their perception of career development. This survey has been complemented with secondary studies and various documentary sources, allowing a comprehensive approach to the problem of gender diversity in the professional field. The most relevant aspects regarding gender equity have been identified and analyzed, highlighting its advantages and implications in the professional development of female engineers.

This article is part of a comprehensive research that examines the systemic barriers that limit women's professional advancement, considering cultural, organizational and structural factors that perpetuate gender inequalities and that determine how these barriers influence key moments in a woman's professional career, both in job placement and in transitions to leadership roles.

From an organizational perspective, the research analyzes the implications of the lack of diversity at management levels and its impact on innovation, productivity and business competitiveness. At a social level, it explores how overcoming these barriers would contribute to reducing gender subordination and strengthening equity in the workplace.

This study analyzes the impact of a challenge-based training program with an emphasis on robotics and programming on the development of STEM skills in girls from Cartagena de Indias. The methodology was based on Challenge-Based Learning (ABR), addressing real problems through the practical application of knowledge in 15 training sessions. The results showed an increase in participants' confidence and interest in STEM areas. In addition, the study reflected advances in the perception of gender equality, although stereotypes persist that limit female participation in these disciplines. The findings highlight the importance of implementing educational strategies that foster the inclusion and empowerment of girls in STEM, ensuring their access to opportunities in an increasingly technological labor market.
