The results of the diagnosis showed general information about the teachers, aged between 35 and 40 years old, with undergraduate and graduate degrees; most of them have computer equipment, mainly laptops; Internet connection; they participate in research and publications, in research groups; they are interested in pursuing graduate studies, since it is the modality and methodology that best suits them. It is concluded that there are teachers who are interested in carrying out studies in the virtual modality and that they fulfill the basic requirements to start a virtual master's degree program, likewise, they demand to carry out research in the topics of learning strategies of Virtual Distance Education, pedagogical mediation in Virtual Learning Environments, production of digital educational resources, innovation in distance education and quality evaluation.

Internationalization is a macro-process that UNAN-Managua, from its mission and vision, has declared in institutional policies and strategies, this has allowed incorporating the international and global dimension at the level of strategic, key and support processes. In correspondence with this guideline, as of 2021, the University joins the Latin American Academic Exchange Program (PILA), as a favorable space to promote the internationalization of higher education and the strengthening of cooperation with foreign educational institutions. A systematization of the experience of UNAN-Managua in this program is presented, for which a qualitative methodology was applied, through documentary analysis, interviews and questionnaire applied to students who have participated in this academic mobility. It is concluded that the PILA program makes important contributions to the development of knowledge in the professional development of students, strengthens institutional identity and promotes the development of intercultural competencies. Important challenges are posed to the institution, among them: training students from an intercultural perspective, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the PILA program for internationalization at home and internationalization of the curriculum, consolidation of the process of articulation between the different administrative, academic and management units, and signing cooperation alliances, in order to incorporate an international vision in the university's educational practices.

The sustainability of the productive systems in the agricultural farms of the Nazaret I community was studied, with the MESMIS methodology that allowed the comparison of the functioning of the different components of the productive systems in the social, economic and agroecological fields, characterizing them in three categories A. , B and C. The research has a qualitative approach, as it was developed under a model of sustainability indicators for agroecological farms. From the dimensions studied, the results show that there is no gender equity, because women are excluded in decision-making; the men consider that they can only handle the production of poultry and the feeding of pigs. The economy is subsistence and its main resource is the soil; They sell by-products such as milk, eggs and meat. The implemented production systems are agricultural and agrosilvopastoral. The agroecological states that occur in these farms are three: low level (La Colina, with little forest area), intermediate level (Caño Limón) and advanced level (El Marañón). The latter is considered a flagship farm, as it can be an example in the implementation of sustainable agroecological practices.

The online sexual harassment is form of power exercised by someone of any age over a victim in the virtual environment with sexual content, contrary to the grooming where the victimary is an adult who say to be a teenager and there is a gradual approach to the victim to get their trust (Rey 2017). There is a need to explore the meaning and process of online sexual harasment experiences through technological spaces in adolescents, describing the regular experience on virtual spaces before the experience and, possible changes when it appear; knowing the subjective impact and consequences made by the experience and identifying the posible generated coping strategies. Because of that, this study made a temathic codification on the ATLAS.ti program about three focal groups and seven episodic semi-structured interviews. There are experiences due to the beginning of the use of social media and misinformation, which decreases with vicarious learning among peers. These experiences generate a limited and untrusted use of virtual spaces. The most important coping strategy is seeking help from family and peers; there is untrust in educational institutions.

Procrastination is a habit that consists of postponing the execution or completion of activities, leaving aside responsibilities, decisions and deliveries (Steel, 2010). This habit can have consequences both emotionally and psychologically, more specifically in this case: psychological well-being, thus affecting the person's assessment of their life in various areas (Barrera et al, 2019). The general objective of this study is to establish whether there is a relationship between Academic Procrastination and Psychological Well-being, considering the sociodemographic variables in a sample of Chilean higher education participants. This research is of a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational-causal type, 181 participants participated, who answered a sociodemographic data questionnaire, the Busko's (1998) Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA) adapted by Álvarez, and the Spanish adaptation of Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale. Analyzes consisted of a Person's correlation, linear regression, and Students' t test. The results showed that there is a negative and significant correlation between academic procrastination and four dimensions of psychological well-being, and that in two of these dimensions the procrastination factor showed a significant effect in the predictive model. But while it is claimed that procrastination is one of the factors linked to psychological well-being, it’s not only one.

The psychosocial effects on micro-enterprise workers of the Costa Rican rural tourism, generated by the economic crisis triggered by the pandemic were characterized. An experimentation of stress and anxiety levels influenced from the emergence of this phenomenon, without deteriorating the overall health of people was found. The approach was mixed, and the instrumental application was with a sample from Vázquez de Coronado and Turrialba.

Financial uncertainty has impacted the social, cognitive and affective spheres. There are also positive effects, the interpersonal dimension has generated essential assistance with family support, resulting in a lower impact on mental health.

Monitoring the professional development of university graduates and alumni is a process underdeveloped in Latin America, although it increasingly takes a leading place as other processes such as self-evaluation and accreditation of academic programs are strengthened.
