A sustainable university must educate its academic collaborators and its interest groups, focusing on the key dimensions, such as economic growth, respect for the environment and carrying out energy saving measures, and efficiency and reuse of resources. The aim of this research is to show the tendencies of postgraduate courses in the training of human talent for “Sustainable Development” based on grounded theory. The methodology is approached from the qualitative naturalistic perspective, where the hermeneutic analysis procedure is structured in five phases with data from nine countries obtained from 20 interviews conducted in the year 2021. For this, a dialogical intervention has been used through the complementary experiences of rectors, deans and specialists with doctoral degrees who are immersed in postgraduate programmes in Latin American and Spanish universities, safeguarding the identity under ethical criteria. The main findings show that this human capital that forms part of the universities through their postgraduate programmes is currently considering redesigning their educational programmes to contribute to sustainable development, not only academically but also through their educational model. The main evidence shows that today more than ever there is a need for change, a need for a new human resource that responds and aims for a triple balance: environmental, economic and social.

Introduction: In this COVID-19 pandemic, protective measures against the disease and government-imposed policies should be known. However, the media also report on deaths and health service shortages, but their impact on the mental health of the population is ignored.Objective: To determine whether fear of COVID-19 infection acts as a mediator between exposure to news about the pandemic and mental health in the Peruvian population.Method: Explanatory study with observable variables in which 541 persons selected by non-probabilistic sampling participated. They responded to a sociodemographic file and the following scales: Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) and Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Data were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and Macro PROCESS for SPSS programs; linear regression and bootstrapping of 10 000 simulations were used.Results: The number of hours watching and/or listening to covid-19 information is a good predictor of the COVID-19 fear mediator variable (β= ,75; t = 3.77, p<.001**). In turn, this has a predictor effect on mental health (β= -,24; t = -13.57, p<.001**). However, the number of hours of exposure to COVID-19 information had no direct positive effect on mental health (β= -.10; t = -1.184, p=.23).Conclusion: Fear of COVID-19 has a total mediating effect between exposure to pandemic news and mental health in the Peruvian population. Introducción: En esta pandemia por covid-19 se deben conocer las medidas de protección contra la enfermedad y las políticas impuestas por el gobierno; empero, los medios de comunicación también informan sobre las muertes y el desabastecimiento de los servicios de salud, pero se ignora su impacto en la salud mental de la población.Objetivo: Determinar si el miedo al contagio de la covid-19 actúa como mediador entre la exposición a las noticias sobre la pandemia y la salud mental en población peruana.Método: Estudio explicativo con variables observables, donde participaron 541 personas seleccionadas con un muestreo no probabilístico. Respondieron una ficha sociodemográfica y las escalas: Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) y Fear of Covid-19 Scale. Los datos fueron procesados mediante los programas IBM SPSS Statistics 25 y Macro PROCESS para SPSS; se utilizó la regresión lineal y bootstrapping de 10 000 simulaciones.Resultados: El número de horas viendo y/o escuchando información de la covid-19 es un buen predictor de la variable mediadora de miedo a la covid-19 (β= ,75; t = 3,77, p<,001**); a su vez, esta tiene un efecto predictor sobre la salud mental (β= -,24; t = -13,57, p<,001**); sin embargo, el número de horas de exposición a la información de la covid-19 no tuvo un efecto directo positivo en la salud mental (β= -,10; t = -1,184, p=,23).Conclusión: El miedo a la covid-19 tiene un efecto mediador total entre la exposición a las noticias sobre la pandemia y la salud mental en la población peruana.

Through a systematic review guided by the PRISMA methodology, the research identifies six critical dimensions in academic entrepreneurship: university entrepreneurial ecosystems, organizational structures, capacity building, impact evaluation, contextual influences, and sustainability. The review highlights the integration of sustainability principles, digital transformation, and innovative financing models as central themes driving contemporary university entrepreneurship. Additionally, it underscores the necessity for adaptive governance frameworks and interdisciplinary collaborations to address diverse socioeconomic contexts. The findings offer theoretical insights and practical recommendations for policymakers and university administrators, with the aim of enhancing the design and implementation of effective entrepreneurial ecosystems. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and strategies that enable universities to act as catalysts for innovation and sustainable economic growth.

Objectives: This study examines the mediating role of emotional regulation in the relationship between social media addiction and irrational procrastination among university students in Trujillo, Peru. Methods: The research employed a non-experimental, explanatory design with latent variables using measurement scales involving 342 university students aged 18 to 36 years. Data collection was carried out using quota sampling using institutional email lists. The findings reveal that social media addiction significantly influences both irrational procrastination and emotional regulation, with age moderating the relationship between emotional regulation and procrastination. Results: The results indicated that social media addiction explained 9.5% of the variance in procrastination and 12% of the variance in emotional regulation. Interestingly, although age alone did not directly predict procrastination, it demonstrated a significant moderating effect when combined with emotional regulation. The study did not find a significant mediating effect of emotional regulation between social media addiction and procrastination. Conclusions: These findings contribute to understanding the complex dynamics between digital behavior, emotional regulation, and academic procrastination, suggesting the need for targeted interventions that consider age-specific approaches to emotional regulation and social media use in the academic setting.

The objective of this study was to establish the correlation between anxiety and depression in times of the pandemic in people who live in the city of Chiclayo - Peru. For this study, a quantitative investigation of correlational scope and cross-section was carried out. In this non-experimental research, we worked with a sample of 619 people from the city of Chiclayo-Peru, the population was selected through a non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The data was collected through the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression scale, a sociodemographic characterization sheet was also used. The results show that anxiety is more prevalent than depression and more persistent in women than men. Taking into account age, young people and adolescents were more affected, taking into account economic and occupational conditions

Entrepreneurship plays a critical role in addressing youth unemployment in emerging economies, yet the psychosocial mechanisms through which entrepreneurial attitudes are formed among first-year university students remain underexplored. This study examines whether creativity mediates the relationship between motivational factors and entrepreneurial attitude, and whether perceived family support moderates this mediation process. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 600 first-year students from public and private universities in northern Peru (Trujillo, Piura, and Chiclayo). Results revealed that entrepreneurial creativity fully mediates the relationship between intrinsic motivation and entrepreneurial attitude, while the direct effect was nonsignificant. Family support significantly moderated the creativity-attitude relationship, with stronger effects at higher support levels. The integrated model explained 51% of variance in entrepreneurial attitude. These findings demonstrate that intrinsic motivation operates through creativity development to shape entrepreneurial attitudes, and that family support amplifies this transformation. Universities in collectivist cultures should prioritize creativity-enhancing pedagogies combined with structured family engagement programs to effectively cultivate sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems among incoming students.
