This thesis presents a proposal for the intervention of Kurt Beer Park, located in Piura, based on criteria aligned with sustainable development. Its purpose is to establish design strategies that enhance the park’s functionality, promote environmental sustainability, and increase its value as a public space within the urban fabric. The research stems from the need to transform urban spaces in response to the unregulated expansion of cities, which has led to the reduction of green areas and the degradation of essential ecosystem services. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting approaches that prioritize energy efficiency, responsible use of materials, proper water management, circular economy practices, and green infrastructure. Additionally, it recognizes the crucial role of community participation and ecological connectivity in creating resilient and socially integrated urban environments. Sustainable mobility is also integrated into the proposed model. The analysis carried out revealed that these strategies are feasible for reversing the current deterioration of the park. Key proposals include the incorporation of native vegetation, clean energy technologies, rainwater harvesting systems, and alternative transportation methods. Ultimately, the study concludes that sustainable design enables the recovery of the park and its transformation into an inclusive, resilient, and environmentally balanced space.

The objective was to formulate and characterize cereal mixtures and seeds (Jícaro and cocoa) used as soft drinks in Central America. The methodology consisted in the concoction of formulations; these were subjected to a sensory evaluation to determine the one with the highest acceptability and preference, then the products were elaborated, determining the performance through the application of mass balances; the granulometry of each cereal mixture in a set of ASTM sieves and the nutritional characterization according to the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC). The formulated mixtures presented high acceptability and preference by the evaluating panel. The granulometry results were 297.49 μm for the Jícaro seed, 227.74 μm for the Pinolillo, 222.84 μm for barley and 203.33 μm for the Policereal; Additionally, the Jícaro seed´s yield was 84.18%, for Pinolillo was 78.65%, for barley was 84.07% and for policereal was 85.44%. The nutritional characteristics determined by the AOAC methods, the Pinolillo complies with the provisions of the Nicaraguan Mandatory Technical Standard, and for the rest of the products their values were similar to other cited reports. The characterized cereal mixtures are fundamental in the food and nutrition of the Central American consumer.

In agricultural areas, early and effective fire detection is crucial to mitigate significant economic and environmental losses. In Peru, more than 2,000 forest fires were reported in 2020, affecting vast agricultural areas and causing considerable damage to local production and biodiversity. These statistics highlight the urgency of implementing advanced technologies for fire prevention and management in the country. This article presents an advanced agricultural fire detection system that uses solar energy and subway batteries to operate autonomously and sustainably. This system incorporates state-of-the-art smoke and fire detectors, audible alerts, and a camera with real-time transmission to a mobile application. In addition, it is crucial to gauge satisfaction and feedback on the prototype to ensure that it meets and needs of the users.

La presente revisión de literatura tuvo como objetivo analizar los aportes científicos más relevantes sobre la implementación de ciudades inteligentes y los procesos de transformación digital como elementos estratégicos para el desarrollo urbano sostenible. La investigación cobra relevancia ante el acelerado crecimiento urbano, los desafíos ambientales y la necesidad de mejorar la eficiencia de los servicios públicos. Se aplicó una metodología cualitativa, de carácter descriptivo y analítico, siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA para garantizar rigor en la selección y análisis de fuentes. Se revisaron 12 artículos científicos publicados entre 2019 y 2024 en la base de datos SciELO, bajo criterios de inclusión temáticos, metodológicos y de calidad científica. Los hallazgos evidencian una tendencia creciente hacia el uso de tecnologías de la información, datos abiertos, inteligencia artificial y gobernanza digital en entornos urbanos. Sin embargo, se identificaron brechas en la aplicación contextual, ausencia de marcos normativos inclusivos y limitaciones en la evaluación empírica de resultados. Se concluye que las smart cities deben ser concebidas como procesos integrales que combinen innovación tecnológica, sostenibilidad ambiental, equidad digital y participación ciudadana, orientados al bienestar colectivo y al derecho a la ciudad.

In the present research, a simple spectrophotometric method for quantifying azithromycin in tablets was validated. For this purpose, validation parameters established by the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) were evaluated. The results show that the method is linear with a coefficient of determination of 0.9995, precise with relative standard deviations ranging from 0.18% to 0.25%, and accurate with a recovery percentage of 97.75%. Likewise, four brands of azithromycin commonly sold in the city of Arequipa, Peru, were analyzed and found to comply with the uniformity of azithromycin content of 500 mg. In conclusion, the developed method could be considered by pharmaceutical laboratories, quality control laboratories, or universities to perform routine or educational tests to quantify azithromycin in tablets.

The factors that improve efficiency in the implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) were evaluated, especially in Latin American industries. The methodology employed was a systematic review based on the PICO and PRISMA guidelines, using the SCOPUS database to select relevant studies in English and Spanish. After a filtering process, 29 articles were selected that addressed aspects related to the implementation and efficiency of OSHMS. The results show an increase in publications since 2019, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the need for effective management systems of psychosocial and biological risks. It is concluded that the involvement of senior management and a strong preventive culture are key to the success of system, in addition to external factors such as regulation, technology and market expectations. Organizational integration and commitment emerge as critical aspects to improve the effectiveness of OSHMS in industrial environments.

MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (MSMES) IN HONDURAS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THE HONDURAN ECONOMY AND FACE A CRITICAL CHALLENGE IN INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES INTO THEIR OPERATIONS. INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE UNITED NATIONS, THE WORLD BUSINESS COUNCIL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION, AND THE GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE PROMOTE REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS THAT GUIDE COMPANIES TOWARD THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO ANALYZE THE LEVEL OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN HONDURAN MSMES IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSIONS, AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF ALIGNMENT OF THEIR OPERATIONS WITH THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (PMI).

This research highlights the importance of playful activities as an essential strategy for fostering meaningful learning in preschool children, contributing to the achievement of SDG 4, known as "quality education." The overall objective was to determine the influence of playful activities on meaningful learning in a public elementary school in Sullana. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a non-experimental design and correlational scope. A survey was administered to 40 preschool teachers. Non-probability sampling, either convenience or judgment, was used. The instrument was an adapted questionnaire with a Likert-type scale, structured in five dimensions to assess the variables: playful activities and meaningful learning. The results show a moderate-to-high correlation (r = 0.726; p < 0.05), demonstrating that the greater the use of playful activities, the higher the level of meaningful learning. It is concluded that play not only strengthens cognitive, social, and emotional skills but also promotes comprehension, creativity, and critical thinking. These findings reinforce the need to integrate playful approaches into the early childhood classroom as key tools for more active and transformative education.
