<p>La investigación se propone despertar el interés de la comunidad académica sobre los efectos de la pandemia del COVID-19 en la educación universitaria del país a través del análisis del aislamiento social y el trabajo remoto. La educación universitaria enfrenta un nuevo escenario: sobrevivir a la pandemia o someterse a ella y el aprendizaje remoto se convierte en una nueva estrategia para que nuestros estudiantes continúen con su formación profesional. La UNESCO señala que según sus cálculos son más de 1,500 millones de alumnos en el mundo, y en el caso del Perú cerca de 10 millones, confinados en sus hogares a causa de la pandemia. Los resultados muestran que los docentes universitarios no se encuentran familiarizados con el trabajo remoto ni los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje. Finalmente, se concluye que el docente universitario tiene la posibilidad de convertir la amenaza sanitaria del COVID-19 en una oportunidad educativa mediante la interacción remota, pese al aislamiento social, las limitaciones tecnológicas y falta de capacitación en el manejo de herramientas digitales. El éxito estará en la estrategia pedagógica que se utilice a través de los entornos virtuales, y en la voluntad de aprendizaje autónomo del estudiante.</p><p>Palabras clave: Aislamiento social, trabajo remoto, aprendizaje remoto, entornos virtuales de aprendizaje, plataforma educativa</p><p> </p><p>ABSTRACT</p><p>The research set out to awaken the interest of the academic community about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the country's university education through the analysis of social isolation and remote work. University education faces a new scenario: to surviving or undergo the pandemic, and remote learning becomes a new strategy for our students to continue their professional training. UNESCO indicates according to its calculations there are more than 1,500 million students in the world (and close to 10 million in Peru) confined to their homes due to the pandemic. Results show that university teachers are obviously not familiar with remote work or virtual learning environments. Finally, it is concluded that the university teacher has the possibility of turning the health threat generated by COVID-19 into an educational opportunity through remote interaction, despite social isolation, technological limitations, and lack of training in the use of digital tools. Success will be in the pedagogical strategy to use through virtual environments, and in the student's desire for autonomous learning.</p><p>Key words: social distancing, remote work, remote learning, virtual learning environments, learning platform</p><div><strong><br /></strong></div>

The study objective is to analyze agro-exports of organic products and environmental security (certification) in Peru. Agro-exports are the second generator of foreign currency for Peru. The descriptive, comparative-graphical method and the polynomial curve are used. In 2019 traditional agro-exports and non-traditional agro-exports contributed 11% and 89% of total agro-exports respectively, the main markets were the United States (35%) and the Netherlands (15%). Peru is the world's leading exporter of native functional products (called superfoods) quinoa and maca. Quinoa is the most demanded native agro-export product internationally. It was found that during the period 2000-2019 the main Peruvian agro-exports of non-traditional products with a vertiginous growth are fruits and vegetables. For the year 2019, fruit agro-exports in terms of FOB value in millions of US - contribute 56% to the total of non-traditional agro-exports. The increase in fresh grapes, fresh blueberries and fresh avocados is remarkable. Environmental security in terms of the area for organic production affects 51% of agro-exports. Peru promotes organic production from the producer to the final consumer and the certification of organic products in the production, transformation and marketing processes.

Both anthropogenic and climate change threaten Ethiopia’s forest regions. Sacred and religious sites maintain most indigenous and native plant species. Northern Ethiopia farmed and settled for thousands of years, causing environmental damage and deforestation. This study examines biodiversity conservation perceptions and biodiversity preferences by local communities and churchgoers. Among the five monasteries in the area, two were selected based on the stated chriteria. The selection criteria for monasteries were a historical antiquity of more than 50 years and a thick forest cover of more than 10 hectares. Multistage sampling was utilized to choose sample residences. Respondents were chosen using simple random sampling and proportion to population size. Among the total population, 310 survey participants were selected. It was found that the commitment to biodiversity conservation of local people and parishioners is directly explained by age, education, the number of years in a status region, and income. It is highlighted that a higher level of education, age above 51 years, and middle-income socioeconomic status most significantly affect respondents’ biodiversity engagement.
