The objective of this study was to determine if religiousness and spirituality predict life satisfaction among Peruvian citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a non-experimental, predictive and cross-sectional study with a sample of 734 people of both sexes (39.5% males and 60.5% females) between 17-75 years of age (M ¼ 32.05). To measure the variables, the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used. A multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the variables that best predict life satisfaction, finding that the spirituality variable explains 10.7 % of the total variance of the life satisfaction variable. In summary, a positive and significant correlation between spirituality and life satisfaction is identified (r ¼ .328, p < .01).

The university represents a critical space for students in terms of prevalence of malnutrition. The objective of this study was to determine the body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (% BF), waist circumference (WC), and anemia in university students. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2,285 university students from Lima, Peru. The sample was selected by nonprobability convenience sampling. Anthropometric data and hemoglobin levels were measured. The Chi-square test was used. The analysis of the associated factors was done using binary logistic regression. A significance level of 5% was considered. There were no significant differences between men and women in BMI ( p > 0.05 ). The men presented significantly high and very high levels of % BF ( p < 0.001 ). The proportion of women who presented anemia and high and very high WC was significantly higher compared to men ( p < 0.001 ). Being older than 27 years (ORB = 2.07; 95% CI = 1.19–3.6), being male (ORB = 2.68; 95% CI = 2.02–3.55), studying at the engineering faculty (ORB = 1.39; 95% CI = 1.09–1.79), having excess body fat (ORB = 8.17; 95% CI = 6.13–10.87), and having an elevated WC (ORB = 35.51; 95% CI = 25.06–50.33) significantly predicted overweight/obesity. The findings of this study suggest that college students, especially males and those who are not enrolled in health sciences colleges, should be a priority in healthy lifestyle interventions, particularly nutritional education programs, to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity.

El presente artículo muestra que los sacrificios y ofrendas que uno realiza a Dios, no hacen que Él cambie de opinión en cuanto a lo que Él ya ha ordenado. Además, se analiza por qué Dios no acepta todas las ofrendas que sus hijos realizan. Asimismo, se analiza en Jeremías 14:12 en base a los dos aspectos esenciales que deben acompañar a todo cristiano al momento de ofrendar o diezmar. El texto será dividido en oraciones, las cuales son analizados para su desarrollo respectivo.

A través de los tiempos, han existido cosmovisiones que han marcado hitosen la historia de la humanidad. El presente artículo tiene por objetivoabordar tres cosmovisiones que más han impactado la historia de la humanidad,a saber, el idealismo, el realismo y el posmodernismo, presentandoel trasfondo histórico de cada una de las cosmovisiones, sus principales propuestasfilosóficas y luego realizar un contraste a la luz de la cosmovisiónbíblica. La cosmovisión bíblica está descrita en la Palabra de Dios y en lamedida que el hombre conozca a Dios, por medio del estudio de la Biblia,tendrá mejores herramientas para evaluar la cosmovisión de su contexto yvivir según la cosmovisión bíblica.
