Impacto académico, económico y psicológico del covid-19 en los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua

Abstract: The article describes the results of the application of a questionnaire to students of the Regional Chontales Multidisciplinary Faculty (FAREM-Chontales) of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, Managua (UNAN-Managua), in the second academic semester 2020. The objective of the study consisted of evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on students, considering their perception from an economic, psychological and academic point of view. For this, a quantitative-exploratory and descriptive study was carried out through the adaptation of a scale used to measure the impact of these three variables on university students, in the context of the pandemic. The link of the questionnaire was sent to all undergraduate students of the faculty, so that they could participate voluntarily, obtaining a sample of 214 students. The literature was carefully reviewed, and since it is a current issue, several similar studies were found, the results of which coincide with those of this investigation. However, it is striking that the assessment of many of the factors presented here was more favorable than in other countries. At the same time, significant differences were found in some of the variables under study, when comparing gender, origin, age ranges and shift. It is concluded that the students' assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the factors analyzed was slight.

Mangrove Restoration an Economical Alternative for Generating Incomes

Abstract: Mangroves are distributed in the American continent from the southern of the United States to South America and play an important role in the economies of coastal communities that provide a wide diversity of satisfaction ranging from food until protect communities of the wind, hurricanes and storms. However, the presence of pests, diseases, misuse of resources and the fire has been linked to the disappearance of the ecosystem. In 2010, a massive defoliation of black mangrove (Avicennia germinans L.) caused by Caterpillar Anacamptodes sp was presented, which altered the economic activities practiced in the zone. It problem caused death of this species in an area of 3846 hectares. In 2012 the restoration of 50 hectares began in the ejido Las Coloradas, Cardenas Tabasco to assess the response of the ecosystem and ecological succession. Further growth of mangrove plants, gradual recovery of fishing activity, return of biodiversity, income stabilization and water levels was obtained. Local and national authorities have acknowledged the work done and the process is being transferred to other affected areas. It is expected that the coastal population affected recover their productive activities and keep the restored area. Community participation was 179 people; four workshops were held and given the exchange with other zones similar. The plague disappeared by itself in March 2011 but has been developed insecticides if it presents again. In conclusion mangroves it should be considered a priority in the production of food for coastal populations would enhance its ecological restoration as they constitute a niche for feeding, nesting, shelter, perch and reproduction of local and migratory birds as well as being the habitat for many species of mammals, reptiles and invertebrates.
