“…La educación física es considerada como un canal de promoción para la práctica de la actividad física, cuya finalidad es que los estudiantes adquieran un estilo de vida saludable y sea parte de su hábito o valores sociales (McEvoy, Heikinaro-Johansson & MacPhail, 2017;Acevedo-Duque, Álvarez-Herranz, Álvarez Becerra & Guanilo-Gómez, 2023). Pero no solo lo anterior es importante en la práctica de la educación física, sino que también los(as) estudiantes pueden desarrollar competencias mediante el movimiento, organizando su currículo de tal manera de propiciar espacios educativos que permitan el desarrollo de competencias que puedan ser aplicadas en su estilo de vida (Abarca, Murillo, Julián, Zaragoza & Generelo, 2015;Quezada, Vega-Valero & Nava-Quiroz, 2021, es decir, la educación física busca transferir lo aprendido en un contexto fuera del entorno escolar, aplicando las competencias desarrolladas para una participación eficaz y exitosa a lo largo de la vida (Haerens et al, 2010, citados en Abarca et al, 2015Sathiya, Nagalakshmi, et al,2023). Es por lo anterior que la educación física es una asignatura esencial para que los(as) estudiantes obtengan competencias, valores, aptitudes, conocimientos que sean transferibles para sus vidas (Timken, & McNamee, 2012).…”

El presente artículo permite conocer la contribución de las asignaturas de educación física en la formación integral de las(os) estudiantes de educación superior durante la Pandemia, de las carreras de ingeniería, construcción civil y arquitectura, a través de las experiencias de las clases virtuales, como resultado de la transformación digital que las instituciones de educación superior (IES) tuvieron que enfrentar debido a las restricciones generadas por el Coronavirus o COVID-19. La investigación responde al diseño no experimental transversal y plantea la aplicación de un modelo que mide la percepción de los estudiantes considerando las siguientes dimensiones o competencias: inteligencia kinestésica, recreación, trabajo en equipo, ética y vida saludable. Posteriormente, para la validación del modelo se estimó el impacto de cada dimensión de acuerdo con las respuestas obtenidas de los(as) estudiantes, utilizando un Modelo de Ecuación Estructural de Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales (PLS-SEM) y un Análisis de Mapa de Importancia-Desempeño (IPMA), resultando que los constructos del modelo propuesto cumplen con los criterios de consistencia interna y de validación convergente, por lo tanto, el instrumento evidencia ser válido. El análisis consideró las respuestas de 497 estudiantes que cursaban el primer año de las distintas carreras de ingeniería y arquitectura de los distintos campus de la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, cuyos resultados arrojaron que los(as) estudiantes reconocieron que las asignaturas de educación física desarrolladas de forma virtual contribuyeron al logro de las competencias genéricas y transversal declaradas en los programas de asignaturas, evidenciando que las asignaturas responden a una actividad física beneficiosa para su salud, que resulta placentera, les permite formar parte de un equipo, practicar la comunicación, el respeto, entre otros de los beneficios. Palabras clave: Experiencia educativa, educación online; satisfacción de los estudiantes; educación física, competencias genéricas, competencias transversales. Abstract. This article allows us to understand the contribution of physical education as a general education subject in university students during the Covid 19 Pandemic in engineering, construction and architecture courses through virtual classes as a result of the digital learning process taking part in universities due to pandemic restrictions. The research follows a transversal non experimental model and proposes the use of a model which measures students perceptions considering the following competences: kinesthesis intelligence, recreation, team work, ethics and healthy lifestyle. Secondly, in order to validate this model, the impact of each dimension was estimated according to the students’ answers obtained applying a structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS – SEM technique) and an importance performance map analysis (IPMA), resulting in proposed models’ construct complying with the internal consistency criteria and convergent validation, therefore, the instrument is valid. The analysis considered 497 students and their answers in first year engineering and architecture courses in different campuses at UTFSM whose results showed that students acknowledge that this online physical education subject contributed to the achievement of general and cross curricular competences established in the subjects’ syllabus claiming that the course promoted a state of wellbeing, built teamwork, enhanced communication, fostered respect among other benefits. Keywords: Teaching practices, online teaching, students’ satisfaction, physical education, general competences, cross curricular competence.

Unpredictable changes in the current business environment have made organizations pay attention to the concept of agility. This concept is a key feature to survive and compete in turbulent markets while considering customers’ fluctuating needs. An organization’s agility is a function of its supply chain’s agility. The present study offers a System Dynamics (SD) model for Iran’s Pharmaceutical Supply Chain (PSC). The model is presented in three steps. First, the Supply Chain (SC) indicators were extracted based on theoretical foundations and literature review results. Second, an SD model of the PSC was extracted in the context of the COVID‑19 pandemic with the necessary analyses. Finally, the desired outputs and strategies were obtained by conducting a case study. The results indicated that the PSC’s highest agility could be guaranteed by the simultaneous implementation of three strategies: investment, Human Capital Development (HCD), and accelerated completion of ongoing projects on a priority basis. According to these results, the organization had better determine the amount of capital and workforce required for ongoing projects, then design funding solutions to implement these projects and implement them according to the projects’ priority.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has arguably been an enormous global shock to health, economies, and daily life [ 25 ]. The countries were faced with major challenges in this extraordinary situation: collapses of their healthcare systems, including workforce shortages; poorly developed primary and preventive care; low health expenditure [ 26 ]; colossal disruption in the supply chain networks of medicines, masks, ventilators, testing kits, and commodities required for daily care; high mortality rates among patients with concomitant diseases [ 27 ]; job loss; imposition of lockdown and social distancing measures such as closing schools, stores, restaurants, and bars and prohibiting public activities [ 28 ]. All companies, regardless of the size and type of their business activities, had to adapt their business models to the new normality, taking into consideration changing consumer behaviour [ 29 ].…”

This study investigates the predictors and mediators of branded functional beverage consumption behaviour (CB) within the Gen Z demographic group in Bulgaria. An integrated model based on two widely known psychosocial theories was developed to examine the relationships between the consumers’ personal values within the value–belief–norm theory and the components of the protection motivation theory (PMT). The conceptual framework included two more influencing factors whose impact had not been researched in depth in previous studies concerning CB—namely, the role of media (RM) and branded functional beverage health benefits (HB). An empirical survey based on 435 Gen Z members aged between 16 and 26 years was conducted. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the proposed hypotheses. The results revealed that the consumers’ personal values were significant predictors of the PMT threat and coping appraisal components, which, in turn, had a significant positive impact on CB. CB was not directly affected by the branded functional beverage health benefits but was indirectly influenced by the HB via purchase intention toward functional beverages and RM. The study highlighted the important role of RM, which directly and indirectly affected CB. The theoretical and practical implications were discussed, and recommendations were given for raising Gen Z’s awareness of the benefits of functional beverages and increasing their consumer acceptance.
