En ámbitos clínicos y de la salud, el concepto de calidad de vida ha adquirido importancia alta como indicador útil de la salud en la infancia y la adolescencia; sin embargo, este concepto recién se está introduciendo en el sistema educativo y los hallazgos que se derivarían de él supondrían cambios estructurales que pocas políticas públicas han podido implementar. Esta investigación, bajo una perspectiva integral, tiene como objetivo determinar la relación entre el sentido de coherencia, constructo bastante novedoso en psicología, y la calidad de vida de adolescentes, teniendo en cuenta variables del contexto socioeducativo como el rendimiento académico, el contexto familiar, el clima escolar y las actividades extracurriculares. Los resultados obtenidos permitirán identificar necesidades y planificar programas para la formación y desarrollo integral de los adolescentes.

“The World Conferences on Research Integrity (WCRIs), six to date, were initiated at a time when researchers in various countries were at quite different stages in their thinking about research integrity. Over the course of the past decade, the global conferences have reflected and documented significant changes in the way research integrity is viewed and supported”

Computer fraud is a crime that increased in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in the world, and Peru was no exception. Therefore, we were interested in gathering Peruvians’ perspectives on the use of the press and social media in the dissemination and, eventually, their participation in a digital financial literacy strategy, as a preventive measure to avoid further losses from this crime. A survey of 429 residents in Metropolitan Lima and interviews with 25 victims of computer fraud revealed that Facebook and conventional television are the platforms most used to learn about the modus operandi of crime; that the majority do not share their experiences in the media because they distrust them or perceive that they do not contribute to clarifying their complaints. The study proposes a minimum informative strategy that the press could consider in its daily work, to guide people on how t...
