Objective:to determine the relationship between Internet addiction and family functionality in students of a University of Lima Norte. Materials and methods: cross-sectional correlational study. The sample consisted of 364 university students. The dependent variable was Internet addiction. The Chi-square, U of Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for the bivariate analysis. Results: of the sample, more than half corresponded to the female sex (58.2%). The average age was 19.8, most of them were 15 to 19 years old and belonged to the Psychologydegree (39.3%). On the other hand, Internet addiction had an average of 20.1. Regarding family functionality (cohesion), 31.6% corresponded to the cohesion and 29.7% to the cohesion connected. In family functionality (adaptability) 40.7% belonged to structured adaptability. It was evidenced that the highest average values of Internet addiction corresponded to dispersed family cohesion (27.9), rigid family adaptability (23.7) and chaotic family adaptability (20.8).Conclusions: internet addiction is related to family functionality. University students from families with dispersed cohesion and with rigid adaptability as well as chaotic were associated with the presence of Internet addiction. The results of this research indicate the need for promotional preventive programs that promote adequate family functionality.

The sample consisted of 40 patients between 60 and 85 years old living in Lima. Results: significant changes were found in the post intervention groups, improving from 3.54 to 3.72 in terms of the therapeutic behavior variable in the control group compared to the intervention group that had a greater increase from 2.98 to 4.06, while in the variable level of knowledge, the control group presented an improvement of 3.0 to 3.02 while in the intervention group there was an improvement of 2.56 to 3.56. Conclusion: the intervention influenced the increase in both the level of knowledge and therapeutic behavior.

Objective:to determine if there is an association between the performance in the area of physical education and the type of footprint in Lima schoolchildren. Materialsand methods: The study was cross-sectional. The sample consistedin 217 schoolchildren from6 to12 years old. The study variables were: academic performance in the physical educationarea, typeof footprint and Hernández Corvo's index and two sociodemographic variables (sex and age). Chi-squared, tests Kruskal Wallis, Spearman and multiple linear regression were used. Results: the average of the academic performance was 15.69 and Hernández Corvo's index was 0.52 in both feet. Both in the right (54.38%) and left (58.99%) feet, a higher percentage was found in the type of plant footprint. There was no relation between the academic performance and the type of footprint (p = 0.26) and being woman is related to have foot with a cabo(right = 65.52%, left = 75.86%). In the multiple analysis to the academic performance adjustment, Hernández Corvo ́s index and age was significant. Conclusions: It is evident that there is norelationship between academic performance in of physical education area and the type of footprint. Onthe other hand, being a woman is related to have foot with a cabo. Likewise, a trend in the increase of academic performance is shown through linear regression analysis. Due to the low variability of academic performance averages, it is recommended to usean accurate instrument to measure grades with practical performance indicators and other precise instruments to measure the footprint.

Objective:to determine the factors associated with violent crimes in men and women in prisons at a national level.Materials and methods: a secondary analysis of the 2016 National Penitentiary Population Census was carried out. For the bivariate analysis, the Chi-square test was applied. Results: 64.6% of men and 94.6% of women committed aggravated robbery, while the remaining 35.4% and 5.4% of men and women, respectively, were admitted for sexual crimes. The main variables associated with violent crimes in males were: being in early adulthood (p=0.000), being single (p=0.000), not having used weapons (p=0.000), not having been in a youth center (p=0.000), not having consumed drugs hours prior to the crime (p=0.010)and having consumed alcohol (p=0.000). On the other hand, for women, the associated variables were: being in adolescence or early adulthood (p=0.000), considering that she was discriminated against due to have a criminal record (p=0.020) and not having used a weapon during the commission of the crime (p=0.000). Conclusions: there are many factors associated with violent crime for men. Among them, alcohol consumption is an important associated factor that is a predictor of aggressive behavior. Other psychological factors should be studied in depth in order to approach the phenomenon considering its multicausality.
