    The health-disease situation of the population and health care delivery services are continuously monitored by epidemiological surveillance systems and health information systems, but since the first cases of COVID-19 appeared in December 2019 and spread globally, each country tried to control the virus by activating their own health protocols, but they became insufficient to face the pandemic and every control attempts seem impossible to all humanity, even more without the support of information technologies, which provides a rapid response for decision-making. Being that the reason why surveillance systems should help mitigate the spread of diseases and, at the same time, plan resources to protect the health status of citizens. Therefore, the aim of this article is to propose a model of a digital epidemiological surveillance 4.0, considering the current technological revolution and the constant evolution of the Internet. This model is divided into 4 phases: situational analysis, planning, execution and evaluation, and supported on 4 key components: logistic support, digital privacy and data protection, communication and technology, and disruptive innovation. A quantitative type of research was applied in a sample of 58 participants, all working as health staff in Chiclayo-Peru, to whom a data collection instrument, based on digital forms and interviews with medical epidemiologists, was applied, that information, which mainly considers the perception and perspectives of the epidemiological surveillance system, served as the basis for the proposed model.

    Aplicación del ultrasonido para conservar las propiedades antioxidantes de la pitahaya
    (Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions, 2024-01-01)
    Escribano Siesquén, William Enrique
    Pitahaya fruit has a considerable content of antioxidant and nutraceutical substances. Traditional techniques and thermal treatments used in fruit processing alter the phytochemical and nutritional components and limit their utilization, so a modern and suitable technology was sought to help preserve its components, finding ultrasound as one of the techniques that favors the preservation of the nutritional properties, bioactivity and antioxidants of the fruit pulp and its derived or processed products. In the processing of the pitahaya, the pulp was extracted by cutting it into slices and freezing it at -50°C, then freeze-drying it for about 49 hours. The dry ground sample was macerated in methanol for 7 days, separated into portions to determine the antioxidant capacity by DPPH method and analyzed by spectrophotometer. In a filtered portion, the antioxidant capacity was determined directly, and other portions were subjected to ultrasound before analysis, evaluating the times, power and frequency of application in order to preserve the natural antioxidant and nutritional composition of the pulp; it was found that the sample to which ultrasound was applied for 20 minutes at 180 W power and 40 kHz frequency was the most relevant to preserve the antioxidant capacity of the pitahaya pulp. © 2024 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the tourism sector globally. In recent years, tourism in Peru experienced sustained growth, and the natural protected areas (ANP Areas Naturales Protegidas) became consolidated into main tourist destinations. Nevertheless, vulnerable groups like artisan workers have suffered more acutely from this crisis. This study was conducted in the buffer zone of the Bosque de Pómac Historic Sanctuary, with the study population being the artisan women of the native cotton weaving line (of the scientific name of Gossypium barbadense L., a trade product native to the area, which is in the process of extinction and was used by ancestral cultures). The objective of this study is to describe the socio-demographic profile and the compliance with preventive measures against COVID-19 of artisan women for tourism recovery. The research has a quantitative, descriptive-cross-sectional approach. A checklist was given to 30 artisan women specifically from the Jotoro-Jayanca, Pómac III-Pitipo, and Túcume population centers. To test the content validity of the instrument, Aiken's validity coefficient was chosen with 10 assessors who were experts in health and tourism; the items were fully approved and statistically significant (Aiken's V = 1, p = 0.0 01). The data was processed with IBM SPSS version 25, using descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that 93.3 of the artisans had their vaccination doses and 70% are still not complying with preventive measures such as hand washing, the use of masks, and social distancing required by COVID-19 on behalf of the Peruvian state. It is concluded that interventions are needed to apply protocols when tourism has recovered for personal, family, and community care. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.

    The interaction of the university and its context determines the policies to ensure that research and development (R+D) have a positive impact on society. However, innovation and entrepreneurship (I+E) have been generating new scenarios and policies in the university. The aim of this study is to identify models for R+D+i+e interaction between the university and its context. In this research, a systematic mapping study (SMS) was performed in five digital libraries. In the process, 13,561 articles were obtained and 336 articles selected as primary studies. In the literature, 17 interaction models for R+D+i+e interaction between the university and its context were identified. The most reported models are: Industrial University, Triple Helix, Entrepreneurial University, Open Innovation and Stakeholders. Likewise, the main types of activities linked to the identified models are: research, innovation and the combination of research and development. In contrast, there are few for experimental development and entrepreneurship. © 2024 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions. All rights reserved.

    COVID-19 disease has started several levels of alert and biosafety protocols to mitigate the risk of contagion everywhere, therefore causing universities to adopt the virtual environments in their teachings, but nowadays it became a necessity to return to classrooms in a short term basis; however, how prepared are we for this “new normal”? In this research, a validated questionnaire was used to measure the knowledge of COVID-19 and preventive measures adopted by university students, before and after the use of an epidemiological surveillance mobile app, developed as a tool to raise awareness in students. The research was quantitative, quasi-experimental, it was applied in a sample of 82 students, the analysis was global and gender inferential using the non-parametric T test for paired samples. The results indicated that the epidemiological surveillance mobile app made possible to raise awareness in the students in the adoption of preventive measures, proposing awareness strategies that allow establishing alerts and timely controls. © 2020 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
