This paper aims to perform a bibliometric and gender perspective analysis of scientific publications in Scopus and Web of Science in the area of Peruvian nursing. A bibliometric analysis design was used. The analysis comprised 130 articles in Scopus and 104 articles in Web of Science. The main indicators included the annual production of articles, the most cited authors and articles, and a thematic analysis of the keywords. In terms of authorship in Scopus, there are seven women among the first 10 authors, but in Web of Science, there are only 3. For citations, female nurses and authors at Scopus receive a higher proportion of citations than males. However, in Web of Science, male nurses receive proportionately more citations. Regarding the first 10 journals we found on the Web of Science, Emerging Source Citation Index journals have more indexed articles than Journal Citation Reports journals. The statistical correlation coefficient between the articles published in Scopus and Web of Science is 0.92. The scientific production in Peru in the nursing field shows no female bias in Scopus, but that is not the case for Web of Science. In addition, the total number of articles published in Peru respecting other fields is low, as is the level of international collaboration between the authors.

La presente investigación tuvo relevancia porque las intervenciones de la gestión pudieron favorecer a ambas variables, y consecuentemente a los pacientes. La presente tuvo como objetivo relacionar el trabajo en equipo y la satisfacción laboral en profesionales de Enfermería del Hospital de Ventanilla. Se utilizó el tipo de investigación cualitativa, diseño no experimental y descriptivo-correlacional. La muestra estuvo conformada por 71 profesionales de Enfermería; se empleó el muestreo no probabilístico. La técnica utilizada fue la encuesta con un cuestionario que tenía dos partes: Percepción del trabajo en equipo y satisfacción laboral, con 16 preguntas cada una. Los datos fueron analizados con la estadística descriptiva y el análisis inferencial. Los resultados indican que la percepción del trabajo en equipo (82%) y la satisfacción laboral (90%) están en nivel medio. Se encontró una asociación significativa de ambas variables en las pruebas de Chi Cuadrado (p=0.000) y correlación de Spearman (Rho=0.45). La correlación es significativa en los indicadores compromiso (0.53), coordinación (0,53), integración (0,33), equilibrio (0,33) y concertación (0,36). Se concluye que el trabajo en equipo y la satisfacción laboral tienen una asociación significativa, principalmente los indicadores compromiso y coordinación.

This study evaluates the performance of a semi-dynamic negative binomial model with cubic spline smoothing to characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics of COVID-19 mortality in Peru, a setting marked by significant data inconsistency and reporting delays. Using nationwide weekly mortality data, we compared a Poisson regression against a semi-dynamic NB model with a population offset and cubic splines (df = 6). The models were evaluated using Akaike Information Criterion and log-likelihood to handle overdispersion and temporal non-stationarity. The NB model demonstrated a superior fit, reducing the AIC from 136,596.4 to 75,668.25 and improving log-likelihood by over 30,000 points. Demographic analysis revealed an 81.6% higher risk of death in males (IRR = 1.816; 95% CI: 1.753–1.881) and an exponential gradient with age, peaking at an IRR of 4.717 (95% CI: 4.499–4.945) for individuals ≥80 years. Departmental fixed effects identified significant spatial heterogeneity, with higher diffusion in coastal regions. The semi-dynamic NB model with splines provides a robust, parsimonious, and scalable framework for epidemiological surveillance in resource-limited settings. By effectively correcting for overdispersion and stabilizing weekly reporting fluctuations, this approach offers a reliable tool for public health decision making in environments with fragmented data quality.

Las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas (ETD) son aquellas que comúnmente se encuentran en varios países de bajos ingresos en África, Asia y América Latina, provocadas básicamente, por el escaso acceso la higiene, agua limpia o sistemas de alcantarillado. Las ETD comprenden una diversidad de enfermedades de alta prevalencia en los países tropicales causadas por una variedad de patógenos, incluyendo bacterias, virus, parásitos y hongos. La epidemiología de las ETD es bastante compleja y se relacionan con las condiciones ambientales del entorno. Muchas son transmitidas por vectores, tienen un origen zoonótico con reservorios animales bien caracterizados y están asociadas con ciclos de vida complejos. Todos estos factores hacen que su control en salud pública sea un desafío; desafío que se caracteriza por la falta de financiamiento en investigación y control. En ese sentido, la telemedicina, o el uso de las telecomunicaciones para brindar servicios de salud, es una tecnología que ha venido ganando cuerpo durante los últimos veinte años, ya que ayudan, con una relativa baja inversión, el acceso a la atención médica por parte de los más necesitados o que vieven en lugares remotos. Esta investigación se centra en el estudio y conocimiento de las las enfermedades olvidadas presentes en suramérica y cómo la telemedicina ha ayudado en su prevención, diágnótico y tratamiento.

Introduction: epidemiology plays a fundamental role in public health by providing evidence for decision making. However, the lack of access to data limits the evaluation and replicability of epidemiological studies.Objective: establish recommended practices for the open publication of epidemiological research data and reports, in order to maximize their value and accessibility.Method: a systematic review of open publication guidelines was conducted. Good practices were identified in the stages of collection, storage, publication and dissemination of epidemiological information.Results: consensus was found on the importance of using standardized instruments, documenting metadata, storing data in repositories with open licenses, assigning digital identifiers and publishing in open access journals.Conclusions: the adoption of these recommended practices will substantially improve the quality, replicability and use of epidemiological research. This will strengthen transparency, scientific collaboration and evidence-based decision making

Objective: Discern in the philosophical principles of education and educate as a process that always poses its problems, depending on the centralization of resources, methodologies and spaces destined to keep this process functioning change according to the context in which it is analyzed, under the postulates of Simón Rodríguez. Methodology: A documentary-literary review of educating is conducted as a process that always raises its problems, since the function of education and the centralization of resources, methodologies and spaces destined to keep this process functioning change according to the context in which it is analyzed. Results and discussion: From Rodriguez's perspective, concerns about the distinction between instruction and education are ethical. There is concern about the mechanical nature of generalized instruction, where the causal knowledge of the object and its relations with the different spheres of public life is eliminated, thus creating a subject detached from its own actions around the object it manipulates, but the main problem of generalizing instruction, that set of objectual knowledge, technical and ideals that function as means to create and perpetuate public life. Conclusion: The study of ethics in relation to education is not a superfluous matter, because the human quality of our professionals of tomorrow will depend on it. Empathy is not only an empty virtue whose positive connotation comes from common sense: it is a capacity that allows us to get out of our own prejudices, explore exteriority in a more open way, it is a strategy to face reality in community. Implications of the research: One of Rodríguez's interesting points regarding the extent and detriment of the implementation of knowledge as a means of exploitation concerns private property.
