Instead, the journal's focus is to contribute to the improvement and publication of original ideas and contributions to the scientific community. Currently, can be submitted for double-blind evaluation <strong>original articles</strong> and <strong>systematic literature reviews</strong>. Contributions must be in <strong>English</strong> and meet the formatting standards stipulated in the journal's guidelines.</p> <p>All accepted articles will be published in continuous publication mode.</p> <div style="display: flex; gap: 20px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> <div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; width: 180px; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);"> <div style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 18px;">Acceptance rate</div> <div style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 5px;">38%</div> </div> <div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; width: 180px; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);"> <div style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 18px;">First decision</div> <div style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 5px;">60 days</div> </div> <div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; width: 180px; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);"> <div style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 18px;">Language</div> <div style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 5px;">English</div> </div> </div>https://www.journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/902Development of scientic skills: augmented reality and interactive digital board2024-11-03T00:20:41-03:00Sandra Pérez Lisboasandra.perez@upla.cl<p class="Abstract">Augmented reality and interactive digital boards are tools that enhance students’ learning. This study shows how 95 5-year-old children in kindergarten, from three municipal schools in San Felipe, Chile, improved their scientific skills of observing, communicating, and formulating hypotheses employing these tools. Three pre- and post-tests were applied through quasi-experimental research, and it was possible to observe the level of development in each scientific skill. The results showed that the program Experiment with Physics using Augmented Reality and Interactive Digital Board is a didactic strategy that allows the mediation between teachers and children, as well as the discovery and comprehension of some physical phenomena, enhancing scientific skills.</p>2025-04-28T00:00:00-03:00Copyright (c) 2025 Sandra Pérez Lisboahttps://www.journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/1049Impact of quality management on financial competitiveness in the Peruvian banking sector: an empirical study2025-04-08T22:43:31-03:00Nieves del Pilar Pizzan Tomanguillodpizzanto@ucvvirtual.edu.peDeysi del Pilar Bacalla Arevalodpizzanto@ucvvirtual.edu.peCarlos Daniel Rosales Bardalezdpizzanto@ucvvirtual.edu.peSandra Lucero Pizzán Tomanguillodpizzanto@ucvvirtual.edu.pe<p>This study analyzes the impact of quality management on the financial competitiveness of a banking institution. In a highly competitive financial environment, continuous improvement of service quality has become a key factor for the sustainability of banking institutions. The objective of the study was to determine to what extent quality management impacts financial competitiveness, considering dimensions such as quality criteria, staff training, internal infrastructure and complaint management. A quantitative design was used, applying an ordinal logistic regression analysis on a sample of bank customers. The findings indicate that all dimensions of quality management significantly impact financial competitiveness, with Wald values and p-values less than 0.05, validating the positive relationship between both concepts. Conclusions: The research reaffirms the need to implement comprehensive strategies to improve quality management to optimize operational efficiency and strengthen the position of banking institutions in the market. Future research is recommended that broadens the geographical scope and analyzes the impact of digitalization on the relationship studied.</p>2025-04-15T00:00:00-03:00Copyright (c) 2025 Nieves del Pilar Pizzan Tomanguillo, Deysi del Pilar Bacalla Arevalo, Carlos Daniel Rosales Bardalez, Sandra Lucero Pizzán Tomanguillohttps://www.journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/955Local self-government digital transformation in the context of sustainable development: potential of artificial intelligence2025-04-28T14:32:28-03:00Ivan Bakhovbakhov@ukr.netOleksandra Niemaoleksandra_niema@lpnu.uaTatyana Kravchenkotatyana.kravchenko@ukr.netOlha Borysenkoacu.borisenko@gmail.comIhor Kuspliakkuspliak.i_s@op.edu.uaDiana Zayatsdianad.zaiats@lpnu.ua<p>This article analyzes contemporary trends and challenges in the digital transformation of local self-government within the landscape of sustainable development, focusing on the potential of AI-based solutions for municipal and rural territories. The scope of research is determined by the fact that digital technologies and their intensive development influence the formation of not only new processes in management, but also the management relations of authorities and the population, generating open integration interaction between them. An interpretive, pragmatic and critical literature review methodology is employed to synthesize existing knowledge and identify key themes with practical implications. The findings demonstrate that AI applications in sustainable local governance establish new standards for urban and rural development by providing novel solutions to old and developing difficulties. However, the analysis also reveals that no one-size-fits-all solution exists; instead, a thorough evaluation of local needs, cultural settings, and potential problems is required. Adaptive tactics, rigorous data governance, and strong community relationships are essential for successful implementation.</p>2025-04-28T00:00:00-03:00Copyright (c) 2025 Ivan Bakhov, Oleksandra Niema, Tatyana Kravchenko, Olha Borysenko, Ihor Kuspliak, Diana Zayats
