Children’s oral health depends on parents’ knowledge and attitudes. The primary dentition stage, in particular, plays a crucial role in the comprehensive development of children. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate parents’ knowledge and attitudes about oral health in the primary dentition stage in Chachapoyas (Amazonas, NW Peru). A questionnaire was administered to 409 parents from 15 educational institutions, and the data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. Among the surveyed parents, 75.3% could identify at least one habit harmful to their children’s teeth (such as excessive sugar consumption) and one of its effects (such as dental caries). Additionally, 77.5% reported that their children presented some dental problem, more frequent in the peripheral areas than in the city’s center. Gender (odd ratio, OR = 0.484; p = 0.037), educational level (OR = 2.14...

Las actividades agropecuarias generan presiones e impactos en las cuencas hidrográficas que repercuten en la calidad ecológica y el funcionamiento natural de procesos en estos sistemas fluviales. En la presente investigación se evaluó el estado hidrogeomorfológico de las microcuencas ganaderas de los ríos Atuén, Timbambo, Pomacochas y Cabildo en el distrito de Leymebamba y de los ríos Ventilla y San Antonio en el distrito de Molinopampa, mediante la aplicación del Índice Hidrogeomorfológico (IHG). La valoración hidrogeomorfológica indica que en las microcuencas ganaderas de Leymebamba el 8,39% de los cauces es de calidad deficiente, 26,68% de calidad moderada, 30,47% de buena calidad y 34,46% de calidad muy buena. En las microcuencas ganaderas de Molinopampa, el 7,18% de los cauces es de calidad deficiente, 8,45% de calidad moderada, 26,52% de buena calidad y el 57,85% de ca...

Perú es uno de los principales exportadores de cacao en el mundo, lo cual repercute en la economía familiar de millones de pequeños agricultores. Actualmente, la ampliación y modernización de la superficie cacaotera, exigen la zonificación del territorio con adecuadas condiciones biofísicas y de infraestructura que faciliten la optimización de los factores de la productividad. Por lo tanto, en esta investigación se analizó la idoneidad del territorio para la producción de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) en el espacio continental peruano, como medida de apoyo para desarrollar una agricultura sostenible. Para ello, se identificaron y mapearon los criterios climatológicos, edafológicos, orográficos y socioeconómicos que determinan el cultivo sostenible de cacao. Luego, se utilizaron tres enfoques de modelado (Proceso de Jerarquía Analítica–AHP, Máxima Entropía–MaxEnt y AHP...

Careful landfill selection with minimal environmental impact is vital for urban planners. This study aims to identify suitable sites for controlled landfills using Fuzzy-AHP integrated with Remote Sensing and GIS, considering a 20-year projection of population and solid waste generation. Initially, twelve sub-criteria were identified, grouped into environmental, socio-economic, and physical categories, and then weighted using paired comparison matrices involving nine experts. The sub-criteria were rasterized and classified into four suitability levels. The weighted overlay of sub-criteria maps generated a territorial suitability model. Within the Alto Utcubamba Commonwealth (Amazonas, Peru), 0.069%, 41.70%, 66.934%, 0.20%, and 12.4% of the territory are suitable, moderately suitable, less suitable, unsuitable, and restricted, respectively, for landfill establishment. Subsequently, 16 hig...
