Anxiety and depression are common emotional disorders in adolescence that affect students' well-being, academic performance, and social life. Early detection is essential to prevent clinical complications. This study is part of SDG 3, which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, especially in adolescence. The objective was to determine the relationship between anxiety and depression in adolescents attending an educational institution in Chimbote in 2025. The research adopted a basic, quantitative approach and used standardized instruments, such as the Zung Anxiety Scale and a questionnaire to assess depression. The sample included 37 high school students, who completed structured surveys. The main results reveal a positive and significant relationship (r = .795, p < .001) between anxiety and depression, with low to moderate levels predominating in both disorders. It is concluded that these emotional disorders are closely related, making it essential to implement preventive measures and emotional support in school settings.

This paper presents the design of a pedagogical strategy supported by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), aimed at improving reading comprehension in fifth-grade students at the Institución Educativa Comunitaria Distrital Manuel Elkin Patarroyo. The study follows an action research methodology with a mixed-methods approach. The proposal was developed based on an institutional diagnosis, theoretical frameworks on ICT and reading comprehension, and successful prior experiences. The strategy includes a six-week didactic sequence featuring gamified and interactive activities. Although it was not implemented due to time constraints, the final design serves as a replicable roadmap for similar educational settings.

This papaer presents the development of a mechatronic device designed to detect and mitigate harmful gases accumulated in parked vehicles. When exposed to heat, materials inside the vehicle can release compounds such as benzene and formaldehyde, which pose risks to human health. The system monitors these concentrations using sensors, and when specific thresholds are exceeded, it activates ventilation mechanisms, power windows, and alarms to reduce the presence of gases, thereby enhancing occupant safety.

Empowerment and entrepreneurship are fundamental to innovation and sustainable development, fostering economic autonomy and social progress in marginalized communities, yet their interconnectedness remains underresearched. This study aims to systematically review the relationship between empowerment and entrepreneurship, identifying future research avenues and trends. A systematic review of 101 Web of Science articles was conducted, employing a four-phase protocol and bibliometric analysis using R-Bibliometrix to identify trends and co-occurrence networks. Empowerment enhances entrepreneurship through self-efficacy and resilience, particularly among women and marginalized groups. Notable trends encompass digitalization, female and social entrepreneurship, microfinance, and transformational leadership, and reveal gaps in theoretical and intersectional frameworks. This research offers a comprehensive framework for elucidating the nexus between empowerment and entrepreneurship, and advocates for research on emerging technologies, hybrid models, and inclusive policies aimed at equity and sustainability.

Despite the progress of hybrid education at the postgraduate level, significant challenges remain in ensuring authentic and sustainable learning experiences. This qualitative, applied, and non-experimental study aimed to analyze the extent to which meaningful learning strategies implemented in a hybrid master's course foster inclusive and contextualized pedagogy. Drawing on a sociocritical approach, data were collected through expert-validated instruments, including teacher interviews, student surveys, synchronous observations, and document analysis. While the initial findings reveal a strong teaching commitment to motivation and critical reflection, further analysis identified the emergence of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a pedagogical reference mentioned sporadically and lacking structured implementation. Accessibility, personalization, and equity appear partially or implicitly, with notable gaps in planning, feedback, and the intentional use of adaptive resources. The study concludes that although UDL was not an explicit component of the course design, its critical integration is essential to transforming educational practices in hybrid postgraduate programs. The research highlights the need for professional development policies, curriculum redesign, and sustained instructional support to establish genuine inclusion beyond conceptual discourse.

The research aimed to determine the relationship between occupational health and safety and efficiency in a drywall construction company in Trujillo, 2024. An applied study was conducted with a non-experimental design, a quantitative, and a cross-sectional approach. The sample was census-based, including 100 workers working in the construction area, and a 19-question questionnaire was used: 10 to assess occupational health and safety, and 9 to measure efficiency. The results showed that 41% of workers perceive a low level of occupational health and safety, indicating a lack of adequate preventive measures. Regarding efficiency, 62% of respondents indicated deficiencies in the supervision of resource management and communication, which generate delays in project delivery. Statistical analysis using the Spearman coefficient yielded a value of 0.913, confirming the strong and positive existence of this relationship. The significance level of 0.001 confirms this relationship. It is concluded that improving occupational health and safety is essential to optimize efficiency that improving occupational health and safety is essential to optimize efficiency and contribute to company growth.

This study examined how fluctuations in the nominal exchange rate influenced the value of urea imports in Peru during the 2014–2023 period, using the CIF price as the variable of analysis. A quantitative methodology was applied, with a correlational and longitudinal design, employing a log-log regression model based on monthly data from official sources such as SUNAT and BCRP, previously transformed. The results revealed that a 1% increase in the exchange rate is associated with an average rise of 0.89% in the value of imported urea. This relationship was amplified by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the geopolitical conflict in Eastern Europe, along with internal factors like macroeconomic fragility. The analysis suggests that exchange rate behavior has a significant impact on import costs, highlighting the need to implement economic, logistical, and currency stabilization strategies in key sectors such as agriculture. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of enhancing resilience to external volatility.

This research aimed to design a proposal for Occupational Risk Prevention for Community Mothers. The methodological design considered descriptive and causal or explanatory research, with a mixed approach due to the application of data collection instruments with primary and secondary sources, which allowed us to fulfill the stated objective.

Based on information provided by the sampled community family welfare homes located in the city of Neiva, Huila, which provided input into the development of this project, it was observed that community mothers are exposed to various hazards that are likely to generate risks not only for the community mothers themselves, but also for the children in their care. Consequently, a proposed occupational risk prevention manual for community mothers was developed as the primary input for the subsequent phases of creating a culture of workplace accident and occupational disease prevention through self-care in the prevention of risks associated with their workplaces.

This study explores the impact of Jewish religious education on the integral formation of female university students, using a framework of six interconnected dimensions: spiritual development, identity construction, religious formation, personal development, academic performance, and community role. Conducted within a gender-specific faith-based institution, the research examines how structured religious studies contribute to holistic growth among young women.

Employing a quantitative design, the study gathered data through a survey instrument that measured students’ self-perceived development across the six dimensions. Results indicate that Jewish religious education positively influences students’ ethical values, self-identity as Jewish women, academic motivation, personal discipline, and sense of belonging within both religious and community life.

By aligning religious instruction with broader educational goals, this study demonstrates that faith-based programs, particularly in all-women institutions, can play a transformative role in fostering well-rounded, value-driven individuals. The findings support the inclusion of spiritually grounded content in university curricula to promote holistic student formation in both academic and life contexts.

This article explores the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), developed by Peter Checkland, as a methodological approach to address the organizational complexity affecting the management of student entrepreneurship programs at the Faculty of Industrial and Systems Engineering (FIIS) of the National University of Engineering (UNI), Peru. Given the unstructured nature of the associated challenges—such as lack of articulation, continuity, and sustainability of projects—a systemic improvement approach is proposed. During the diagnostic phase, CREARIE 2.0 is employed, a digital tool designed for the efficient assessment of entrepreneurial profiles, leadership styles, and key competencies. Its implementation is carried out through automated Google Forms. The research follows a mixed-methods approach, combining the qualitative analysis of SSM with the quantitative processing of data collected through CREARIE 2.0.This methodological integration is expected to optimize training processes, enhance pedagogical decision-making, and strengthen the development of entrepreneurial skills within the university ecosystem

This study aimed to identify the facilitators and barriers affecting access to the Social Compensation Program for Liquefied Petroleum Gas among vulnerable populations in Cangallo, Ayacucho, Peru. The program seeks to enhance energy equity by supporting low-income households. A qualitative methodology was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews with key actors—local authorities, Electrocentro officials, and gas distributors—alongside focus groups with beneficiaries in two rural communities. Additional data were gathered through document analysis and direct observation.

Findings show that access to the program is hindered by weak local coordination, limited institutional engagement, and poor dissemination of information regarding eligibility and procedures. Frequent changes in municipal leadership further disrupt program continuity. While users acknowledge the health and convenience benefits of gas, traditional cooking practices, lack of intercultural adaptation, and fear of rapid gas consumption inhibit broader adoption. Economic barriers also persist, as many families cannot afford an additional gas cylinder before the next voucher. Moreover, price variations and the absence of price regulation contribute to perceptions of unfairness. Despite these challenges, the general acceptance of gas as a clean and safe energy source suggests potential for improvement through better community engagement, targeted education, and policy adjustments.
