The objective of the study was to analyze the impact of INDECOPI's PATENTA program on innovation in Peru. Since 2014, this program has driven significant growth in patent applications through technical, legal and educational support to inventors and companies. The methodology employed the PECODR framework, considering searches based on research questions, keywords, databases and selection periods. The results show that utility model applications outnumber patent applications due to their lower technical complexity. National applications grew from 275 in 2014 to 805 in 2023, reflecting significant progress, although 83% of the activity is concentrated in Lima, leaving other regions lagging behind. Gender gaps persist, with only 14% of applications made by women in comparable countries such as Mexico. The findings highlight that, prior to the program, costly and complex procedures discouraged the protection of inventions, exposing inventors to the loss of rights. Although PATENTA has promoted progress, more inclusive and decentralized policies are needed to strengthen innovation throughout the country.

Universities play a crucial role in generating knowledge and innovation, with a focus on training professionals capable of addressing social issues. This is why, in Latin America, universities have increased patent production, although they still face obstacles in technology transfer. Programs like CATI in Peru have driven innovation, promoting collaboration with industry and enhancing the economic sustainability of institutions. Patents reflect the research capacity and global impact of universities, being key to attracting funding and collaborations, which is why the number of patent applications in Peru has significantly increased, with the National University of Engineering and the Private University of the North standing out as leaders in this field.

Citizen participation plays a crucial role in the process of interaction between citizens and municipal project management. However, there is currently an apparent lack of interest on the part of citizens to become actively involved in the management of projects in their respective jurisdictions. The main objective of this research was to analyze the influence of citizen participation in the effective implementation of project management at the municipal level. The study adopted a quantitative, applied approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, explanatory-causal design. The research population consisted of 128 inhabitants of the province of Lucanas, in the department of Ayacucho. Among the most salient findings, it was identified that 26.6% of the participants perceive a low level of citizen participation in project management, while 52.3% consider it to be of medium level. Only 7.8% perceive a high level of participation and management in their municipalities. The results of the ROC curve confirmed that project management and citizen participation have a significant and positive impact on municipal management, reaching areas under the curve of 75.2% and 69.1%, respectively. However, the data also showed that only 8.6% of citizens perceive a high level in these variables, while 91.4% report medium or low levels. These findings reflect the urgent need to implement strategies to strengthen planning, execution and transparency in municipal projects, ensuring a more active participation of citizens to reverse this situation and improve the impact of public management in rural communities.

Various continuous improvement methodologies have been identified to optimize quality control in the manufacturing industry, each with advantages and limitations in their application. This study aimed to assess the extent to which these methodologies contribute to quality control by analyzing key tools, the main causes of quality issues, and their effectiveness after implementation. The research was conducted through a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA protocol, reviewing 379 studies from the Scopus database, of which 17 met the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that the implementation of methodologies such as Six Sigma and DMAIC has been effective in defect reduction, achieving Sigma levels of up to 4.375, while the DPMO decreased to values of 1,452. These tools have helped address issues such as lack of standardization and human errors, optimizing processes and improving efficiency in sectors such as textiles, electronics, and metalworking. In conclusion, continuous improvement methodologies are essential for ensuring quality in the manufacturing industry, although challenges related to process standardization and technical staff training must still be overcome.

In the fishing sector, specifically companies dedicated to the processing of hydrobiological resources, a variety of industrial effluents and sludges are generated, which require pretreatment before being discharged into the environment. The objective of this review is to identify and analyze the most efficient and innovative industrial wastewater treatment systems. To do so, the following methodology was carried out, initially identifying 528 original articles in SCOPUS, of which 52 of them met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that there was a significant increase in research on industrial effluent treatments during the years 2021 and 2022, with studies carried out in countries on all continents. Most of the research focused on the implementation of membrane bioreactors (MBR), both aerobic and anaerobic, combined with advanced membrane separation techniques, such as ultrafiltration and nanofiltration (NF). Effluent characterization and monitoring of parameters such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, COD, BOD5, total suspended solids (TSS), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus (TP) and nitrates (NO3-) were essential to assess the quality of treated water. Finally, it was concluded that advanced industrial wastewater treatment methods, especially those combining biological processes and membrane separation techniques, are highly effective. The implementation of these technologies, together with continuous monitoring and adequate sludge management, serves to improve water quality and promote environmental sustainability in the industrial sector.

Abstract: Organizational climate is an important aspect in the management of companies to promote their success and, in the same way, it is necessary to generate well-being in the collaborators of the organizations. In this sense, the main objective of this article was to determine the relationship between organizational climate and work performance in a real estate company (Lima-Peru), 2022. In addition, in the specific objectives, the purpose was to test the relationship between the dimensions: communication, recognition and physical environment of the organizational climate variable with job performance. Methodologically, the study was carried out through the quantitative approach and descriptive correlational design and the sample was composed of 103 workers. For the data collection process, two questionnaires were used, one for each variable with 15 items each, using the Likert scale, whose data were taken to the psychometric analysis, finding positive results for validity and reliability. The findings showed that, after submitting the research instruments for this purpose, it was proved that there was a direct and significant relationship between organizational climate and work performance in the company considered for this study, presenting a correlation coefficient (r=0.516), classifying it in the moderate level.
