El estudio del engagement se ha convertido en uno de los temas principales de investigación en contextos académicos. La presente investigación buscó determinar la relación entre engagement y el desempeño académico en estudiantes universitarios. La población-muestra esta conformada por 298 estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú; el instrumento utilizado fue la escala UWES sobre engagement académico; para evaluar el desempeño se emplearon los promedios consolidados en tres carreras profesionales. Los resultados indican que no existe correlación significativa entre las variables estudiadas, siendo la correlación significativa en el nivel 0,05 (bilateral), con un p-valor del 0.33. La correlación de Spearman muestra un nivel de relación no significativa, con un coeficiente de 0.123. Los estudiantes se desenvuelven con niveles de motivación interna personal; la principal conclusión es que pese a las condiciones adversas y desmotivación mantienen un desempeño académico equilibrado.

La presente investigación estudió el impacto de la enteroparasitosis en niños y analiza el papel de la educación sanitaria en la promoción de la salud en niños y familiares del Centro Educativo Inicial Estatal “Paz y Amor” de la Región Callao (Perú), durante el año 2017. El estudio se enmarca dentro de una investigación de tipo descriptivo transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 120 niños de 3 a 5 años, de los cuales se recolectaron muestras de heces fecales para conocer la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal, se aplicó un instrumento de encuesta directa a los padres sobre las condiciones socioeconómicas. Así mismo se realizaron charlas educativas de promoción de la salud en la población de estudio antes y después de la recolección de muestras fecales. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron pruebas de chi cuadrado y técnicas descriptivas. Destacan como resultado la significancia estadística entre el número de niños en casa y el número de personas que duermen en cama (p<0.05) con presencia de parasitosis intestinal (Enterobius vermicularis).

Currently, the economic profitability of cocoa is being affected by the increasing incidence of pests, low selling prices, high production costs, and the presence of cadmium in cocoa farms, posing a potential risk of crop abandonment. Therefore, the objective of the present research was to evaluate the economic profitability of carbon sequestration of fine-aroma cacao agroforestry systems in Amazonas, Peru, using the economic indicators of NPV, EIRR, and the benefit–cost ratio. For this purpose, 53 small cocoa producers of the APROCAM cooperative were involved, from which data were obtained on the general characteristics of the production system, production and maintenance costs, indirect costs, and administrative costs; in addition, the costs of implementation and maintenance of an environmental services project were calculated to finally make a cash flow projected over 5 years. As part of the results, the economic analysis was carried out on 104.25 hectares of cocoa belonging to the total number of farmers evaluated, who reported an average yield of 957.32 kg of dry cocoa per he. In addition, it was found that the production cost is PEN 3.91/kg of dry cocoa, and the average selling price is PEN 7.38/kg of dry cocoa. After the economic analysis, it was found that the implementation of an environmental services project is profitable (NPV = PEN 1,454,547.8; EIRR = 44% and B/C = 1.86). These results open up an opportunity for cocoa farmers to diversify and increase their income by contributing to climate change mitigation.

The objective of this research is to investigate the characteristics of remote work in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the study will allow exploring the advantages, disadvantages, challenges and opportunities that Peruvian remote workers face during this crisis scenario. This was a basic-type, descriptive-level study employing a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design. The sample consisted of 275 workers from two companies located in Metropolitan Lima, and the data were collected in the year 2021. A questionnaire with 30 questions was proposed for data collection; it was validated by three experts, and its reliability was α = 0.85. The findings of the remote work variable place it at a medium level with 40.73%; in the flexibility dimension, the medium level prevailed with 42.55%; the autonomy dimension exhibited a high level with 41.09%; and the productivity dimension exhibited a medium level with 43.64%. In the technology dimension, the low level prevailed with 36.36%, while the psychosocial risks dimension exhibited a medium level with 33.18%. In conclusion, the characterization of remote work in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed us to establish the most relevant aspects that affected workers who migrated to this form of work.

Digital fatigue is pervasive among university instructors, yet rigorous evidence on whether generative AI improves well-being is scarce. We conducted an eight-week staggered multiple-baseline AB–AB reversal with eight lecturers at a private Peruvian university. In intervention phases, participants replaced full readings with a daily ≤200-word ChatGPT summary plus three discussion questions (“content-curation sprint”). Outcomes were self-reported digital fatigue (FDU-24) and automatically logged screen time; analyses were carried out using trend-corrected Tau-U and paired-phase Cohen’s d. Across two intervention cycles, screen exposure fell by about 122 min per day (~29% of baseline) and digital fatigue scores decreased by ~22%. Effects were large and replicated (aggregate Tau-U = −0.79; d = −1.5 to −2.2). Treatment fidelity averaged 96%, and post-study technology acceptance was high. These findings provide preliminary experimental evidence that a brief, low-friction ChatGPT workflow can simultaneously reduce screen time and alleviate digital fatigue in higher-education faculty, suggesting a dual productivity-and-well-being dividend and positioning generative AI as a Job Demands–Resources “resource” rather than a stressor. Multi-site randomized trials with active controls, longer follow-up, and cost-effectiveness analyses are warranted. Practical implications for faculty development are immediate.

El estrés académico es un problema común entre los estudiantes de Enfermería, especialmente durante los periodos de exámenes. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre los niveles de actividad física y el estrés académico percibido en estudiantes de Enfermería durante los exámenes finales. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con 43 estudiantes. La actividad física se midió mediante acelerómetros ActiGraph wGT3X, y el estrés académico se evaluó con el Inventario SISCO. Se usaron estadísticas descriptivas y pruebas no paramétricas (Mann-Whitney y Kruskal-Wallis) para analizar los datos. Los resultados mostraron que las mujeres reportaron niveles significativamente más altos de estrés académico (p=.0049) y que los estudiantes con mayor carga académica realizaron menos actividad física moderada a vigorosa (p<.05). El comportamiento sedentario fue mayor en aquellos con menores niveles de estrés (p=.0492). Estos hallazgos sugieren que el estrés académico puede influir negativamente en los niveles de actividad física, en especial durante los periodos de alta demanda académica. Se recomienda implementar programas que promuevan tanto la actividad física como el manejo del estrés en entornos universitarios para mejorar el bienestar de los estudiantes.
