Professional trajectories of women teachers in the engineering area of a private university in Peru
(2020-09-30)
The aim of this study was to analyze the perceptions of women engineering teachers about their professional trajectories. Regarding the methodology, the qualitative approach and the phenomenological method were chosen. In addition, six female teachers of the engineering area were interviewed. The main findings indicated that the motivations to redirect their professional path towards teaching were the acknowledgments, the promotion of research and schedules' flexibility, despite not considering it as the first option of professional development. Also, teaching provided them with opportunities to pursue graduate studies without restrictions, to care for their families and to postpone motherhood. However, working at a university meant facing organizational obstacles, such as differences in treatment according to gender and age, as well as practices of exclusion and favoritism.

Trapped institutional change: the quest for regulating fishing activities in protected areas
(Elsevier BV, 2026-02-01)
The Peruvian state has implemented innovative regulations and participatory processes to establish co-management systems in marine protected areas. Following global trends, state conservation agencies seek to establish agreements with local producers to regulate fishing activities and achieve sustainable economic growth. Yet despite efforts to regulate fishing and aquaculture activities within protected areas, unregulated production continues to increase, threatening sustainable efforts amid increasing market opportunities for fish products. Why are institutional regulatory innovations failing to achieve their objectives? This article argues that the implementation of co-management policies has led to the empowerment of local producers who combine formal and informal extractive activities that threaten coastal-marine ecosystems, configurating a socio-ecological trap. It shows how the implementation of institutional innovations for collaborative co-management has not taken into account locally legitimated, institutionalised practices that deviate from or contradict state regulations. Formalised fishers have resorted to combining formal and informal activities, fostering a process of institutional hybridisation to increase their production in response to market opportunities, while local state officials open up spaces for negotiating certain rules and sanctions in the reproduction of institutional hybridity. The research is based on a qualitative case study of the Paracas National Reserve (PNR), the oldest coastal marine protected area in Peru. It focuses on the analysis of two activities that the state is attempting to co-manage: giant kelp collection and scallop aquaculture. Based on interpretative approaches and qualitative research methods, the data collection techniques included archival review, interviews, and non-participant observation.

Performance assessment of a ventilator developed for emergency use in a resource-constrained ICU setting during the COVID-19 pandemic
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2025)
The Masi mechanical ventilator was developed in Peru, designed and manufactured as a rapid-response to the healthcare emergency. Its promising pre-clinical and clinical results allowed it to be approved by the national regulatory authority to be used during the emergency. The key features of Masi are its low manufacturing cost, low dependence on a supply of high volumes of oxygen, low oxygen consumption, and flexibility between non-invasive and invasive ventilation. While Masi lacks some of the advanced features found in commercial ICU ventilators, it was specifically designed for short-term use in resource-limited and high-demand situations as an alternative when conventional devices were unavailable. This study evaluates the survival rate in intubated COVID-19 patients ventilated with Masi as compared to other conventional ventilators.
