The research work aims to strengthen environmental sustainability based on indicators through the current diagnosis of the area. The methodology that was applied was based on the deductive-inductive method, supported by bibliographic and field documentation. In addition, the PER model was used to describe human actions and activities in the moor (Pressure), evaluate the current situation of natural resources and the environment (State) and propose solutions to address the problem (Response). To address the research, an on-site visit was carried out where the problems generated by anthropogenic activities, such as agriculture, livestock and deforestation, were observed. Direct observation techniques and surveys were applied to 152 inhabitants of the Yacubamba community, where 89% expressed a degree of acceptance for the implementation of environmental sustainability indicators. This led to the establishment of 40 indicators which are anchored in activities to achieve ecosystem balance, analyzing environmental, economic and social impacts.

The general objective of this study was to identify emotional level of the outplacement personnel. The objectives included: establishing a theoretical framework for assessing emotional level of dismissed staff, analyzing the snowball statistical method to determine emotional level of 100 individuals, and offering outplacement strategies to minimize their emotional impact. In order to facilitate transition of laid-off workers back into the labor market, the support program provides them tools and support they need. When it comes to transitioning, emotions play a crucial role, dynamic processes involve physiological, cognitive, and behavioral changes. In this study, a non-experimental cross-sectional design was employed, and a TMMS-24 survey was applied, which is based on the Salovey and Mayer research groups TMMS, which contains three key dimensions of EI, each with 8 items, revealing significant gender differences in attention, clarity and emotional repair. The study found 28% of women and 43% of men have low emotional repair capacity. Additionally, 41% of women have low levels of emotional care, where as, a high percentage of both genders have medium levels of emotional care and repair, highlighting the need for individualized outplacement support.
