Public Research Institutes (PRIs) play a strategic role in national innovation systems, particularly in emerging economies where their scientific contributions are essential for advancing technological capabilities and informing public policy. Despite their importance, the research productivity of PRIs is frequently hindered by limitations in institutional capacity and systemic support. This study examines the determinants of scientific productivity in three Peruvian PRIs: the Instituto Peruano de Energía Nuclear (IPEN), the Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP), and the Instituto Tecnológico de la Producción (ITP). A mixed-methods approach was applied, integrating semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and cross-case comparison. The findings indicate that internal conditions—especially research infrastructure, qualified personnel, and institutional governance—are decisive for sustaining scientific output. Among external factors, stable leadership, access to competitive funding, and participation in collaborative research networks were identified as key enablers. The study proposes a classification framework of productivity drivers and offers evidence-based recommendations for strengthening research performance in PRIs. These results contribute to policy formulation and institutional strategies aimed at enhancing scientific capacity in contexts characterized by resource constraints and institutional volatility.

This study examines the gap between mobile-wallet adoption and monthly quick-commerce usage among Generation Z undergraduate students at a university in Lima, from a Technology Management perspective focused on why payment technology maturity does not translate into sustained channel activation. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design was used via an online self-administered survey with convenience sampling (N=158), collected from November 10–17, 2025. Findings show a clear adoption–usage mismatch: 97.47% report active use of mobile wallets, with Yape leading penetration (92%) compared to Plin (26%); however, only 50.70% placed at least one quick-commerce order per month, leaving 49.30% as non-monthly users. This gap is largely explained by shipping-fee friction, with an average perceived friction of 4.00/5 despite high perceived satisfaction with the service (7.23/10). Regarding use cases, “prepared food” dominates spending categories (72.61%), indicating that quick-commerce is primarily used for urgent, instant-gratification needs. Overall, results suggest that the key scaling barrier is not payment adoption but delivery-fee pricing management as a salient, behavior-shaping friction point.

This study analyzes the competitive dynamics of Ecuadorian cocoa exports to the European Union under the framework of the Multiparty Trade Agreement (MTA) during the 2019-2024 period. Although tariff dismantling has been a fundamental catalyst, the sector faces a critical transition toward new market access requirements. The methodology is descriptive-analytical with a quantitative approach, based on the review of FOB value historical series, export volumes, and technical regulation analysis. The results reveal an 88% growth in export value by the end of 2024, reaching historical figures of 1.28 billion dollars, driven by both the tariff benefit and the supply crisis in West Africa. However, it is identified that future competitiveness is conditioned by non-tariff barriers, specifically cadmium level controls and compliance with the EUDR Regulation on deforestation. It is concluded that, while the MTA provides an environment of operational certainty, sustainability and technological traceability are now the determining factors for maintaining leadership in the fine or flavor cocoa segment within the European market.

This study presents the design and implementation of a low-cost SCADA system based on the ESP32 microcontroller, intended for teaching transient electrical phenomena in Industrial Electricity courses. The proposed solution enables real-time visualization of current waveforms during the startup of various electrical loads, including discharge lamps and three-phase motors. Current measurements were obtained using ACS712 sensors, processed by the ESP32, and displayed through a mobile-accessible web interface. Laboratory results showed strong agreement with theoretical values, with errors below 6.1% for resistive loads and under 12% for nonlinear loads. The system proved to be functional, accurate, and well-suited for educational use, providing a low-cost alternative to conventional measuring instruments. Its strengths, limitations, and opportunities for future improvement are also discussed.

This article describes the implementation of an automated climate chamber designed for the accurate calibration of thermohygrometers and other temperature and humidity measurement equipment. Addressing current calibration limitations, which cause production delays, customer dissatisfaction, and increased operating costs for the company EQUINLAB SAC, this project proposes a low-cost solution based on Arduino MEGA. The automated chamber integrates heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification systems controlled by an Arduino MEGA, with real-time data visualization via an LCD module. The design includes a custom electronic board, detailed electronic and electrical schematics, and 3D drawings of the chamber. This innovation seeks to improve calibration capacity and efficiency, offering a robust and economical alternative to commercial solutions, which ultimately improves service quality and reduces operating costs. Keywords: Climate Chamber, Automated Calibration, Arduino MEGA, Thermohygrometer, Humidity, Temperature.

The current landscape of Industry 4.0/5.0 is characterized by constant high-impact disruptions, making operational resilience
an essential strategic focus. In this context, our work addresses the critical need for organizations not only to withstand these changes, but
also to capitalize on these events to generate systemic transformation with the central objective of understanding in depth how companies
can adapt and respond effectively to situations of disruption. To this end, a search methodology with inclusion and exclusion criteria was
applied to select the most relevant articles. The review shows that many organizations still have difficulty reacting to sudden changes, such
as those generated by the pandemic or supply chain disruptions. However, practices that contribute to strengthening their response capacity
were also identified. These include continuous process improvement, the integration of 4.0 technologies, and the promotion of more flexible
and agile organizational cultures. In conclusion, operational resilience not only helps companies overcome times of crisis, but also opens up
the possibility of transforming them into opportunities to innovate and evolve toward models that are better prepared for the future. This
process is key to ensuring their long-term competitiveness and sustainability.
