This study examines the determinants of the sustainable use of artificial intelligence (AI) among university professors in Peru. This research adopted a quantitative approach through a cross-sectional empirical–explanatory study, employing a structural equation model. Data were collected from 368 professors from eight Peruvian universities using a structured questionnaire that assessed six main constructs: attitude toward AI, prejudice against AI, facilitating conditions, use of AI, teaching concerns, and ethical perception. While the results reveal significant correlational relationships—with attitude toward AI, facilitating conditions, and prejudice against AI showing a significant association with its sustainable use, and the use of AI showing a significant relationship with professors’ ethical perceptions—the cross-sectional nature of this study precludes causal inferences. No significant relationship was found between the use of AI and teaching concerns. Additionally, demographic variables such as gender and age did not exhibit significant moderating effects. These findings contribute to understanding the factors related to the sustainable adoption of AI in higher education and provide valuable insights for the development of effective institutional strategies in the Latin American context.

This study examines the relationships between spirituality, resilience, and happiness among higher education students, exploring the moderating roles of religious belief and years of study based on developmental and religious coping theoretical frameworks. Developmental theory suggests that university students’ psychological resources evolve across academic years, while religious coping theory posits that individual differences in religious commitment may buffer spirituality’s protective effects on well-being outcomes. Using a quantitative cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 459 university students from environmental science programs across public and private universities in northern Peru. Participants were predominantly female (59.04%) and aged 18–24 years (73%). Three validated instruments were administered: the Personal Spirituality Scale, Connor–Davidson Brief Resilience Scale, and Subjective Happiness Scale. Religious beliefs were measured on a 5-point scale, while years of study was categorized by academic year. Results from partial least squares structural equation modeling revealed significant direct effects of spirituality on both happiness (β = 0.256, p < 0.001) and resilience (β = 0.274, p < 0.001), with resilience also significantly influencing happiness (β = 0.162, p < 0.05). The structural model demonstrated exceptional explanatory power, with spirituality explaining 97.1% of variance in resilience, while spirituality and resilience together accounted for 86.2% of variance in happiness. Contrary to theoretical expectations, neither religious beliefs (β = 0.032, p = 0.489) nor years of study (β = −0.047, p = 0.443) showed significant moderating effects. These results suggest that spirituality and resilience serve as universal contributors to student well-being, operating independently of specific religious orientations and academic progression. The findings support integrating spiritual development and resilience-building components into inclusive university student support programs.

This study explores the diversification of avocado exports from Peru during the period from 2018 to 2022, recognizing Peru’s significant export potential. It analyzes export patterns and market concentration levels. Using a quantitative, non-experimental approach, the analysis was conducted with data sourced from the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT). The study applied the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) to assess the degree of market concentration. The findings reveal an average annual growth in avocado exports of 12.5 percent, alongside a decrease in the average price per kilogram of 5.4 percent. These metrics indicate not only an expansion of the market base through diversification into new markets but also reduced vulnerability to price fluctuations and external demand. The conclusions underscore a significant improvement in the local economy due to diversification, which has subsequently increased Peru’s economic resilience. To foster continued growth in this sector, the implementation of a comprehensive strategy is recommended, encompassing infrastructure, human capital, innovation, and the development of a robust business environment, aligned with the growth of other agricultural products in Peru.

This study explores the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between spirituality and happiness among environmental engineering students in northern Peru, emphasizing its implications for sustainability in education and professional development. Through a quantitative cross-sectional study involving 392 students from public and private universities, two key hypotheses were tested: the direct influence of spirituality on happiness and the mediating effect of resilience. Data were gathered using validated instruments, including the Personal Spirituality Scale (SPI), Connor-Davidson Brief Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10), and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). Structural equation modeling revealed that spirituality has a significant direct effect on happiness and an indirect effect through resilience. The model showed high explanatory power, with spirituality explaining 87% of the variance in resilience, and both variables accounting for 76% of the variance in happiness. These findings highlight the importance of promoting spiritual and resilience-building practices as key strategies for enhancing subjective well-being, a critical factor for preparing sustainable professionals capable of addressing complex environmental challenges. This study contributes to the understanding of how spiritual resources and resilience mechanisms can support the development of socially and psychologically sustainable future engineers.

Llegamos al bicentenario de la República, con un Estado fallido, con una república inconclusa, existiendo diversas brechas sociales, descuidando las atenciones colectivas, que son olvidadas, el servicio público no es eficiente ante la crisis de salubridad pública, política, económica y cultural. Tenemos pobladores y no ciudadanos, la ciudadanía no se ha desarrollado ni existe el concepto en la colectividad, y más bien tenemos poco o nulo involucramiento en la cuestión pública, y la ausencia de la participación democrática genera que existan distancias entre el gobernante y los gobernados, que son aprovechadas por los primeros, por la ausencia de participación, control, fiscalización y sanción de las instituciones políticas junto a las entidades políticas, situación que es contraria al fin obtener el bien común, justicia y más equidad, para acceder a las oportunidades dignas dentro del Estado-nación.

Esta investigación estuvo orientada a sistematizar el aumento del bullying durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en el contexto peruano. Su tipo y diseño fue documental, desarrollándose en las fases propuestas por Kitchenham (2004). Además, se consideraron del contexto peruano 1 estadística de SíseVe, 4 artículos de prensa y 1 artículo de investigación. Los resultados de esta indagación comprobaron que efectivamente este fenómeno se incrementó durante los años de confinamiento con especial atención el cyber bullying. Como conclusión se resaltó la necesidad de implementar programas educativos orientados a prevenir y controlar los impactos de esta problemática.
