The present work characterizes the affectation to the real estate and tourism caused by illegal mining activity developed in Zaruma canton, El Oro Province, known as a city that has emblematic cultural heritage and whose economy is largely based on mining exploitation. This activity is a problem for its inhabitants and environment, since it is carried out illegally and creates irreparable consequences for the environment; mining has been present since remote years, thus generating a lack of control in the upper part of the province. Therefore, the main objective of the research is to analyze the impact of mining on the real estate heritage and its repercussions on the tourism sector. Therefore, a descriptive research was emphasized, taking a general vision for the explanation of the problem and through the application of a mixed methodology, which through the use of data collection instruments such as the survey and interview to the settlers and at the same time the execution of the observation technique, therefore, In conclusion, the results show that illegal mining has directly affected heritage assets, essentially real estate, and has also affected the tourism sector, given that real estate is one of Zaruma's main attractions, tourism has obviously been reduced, generating job losses and loss of income, among other things.

This article presents the reliability and validity of a scale that evaluates the experiences of visitors to the shopping center in Cali - Colombia. The methodology is framed within a quantitative, descriptive and causal approach, through the application of the hypothetical-deductive method. The variables considered in the measurement scale were determined from a theoretical review and content validation. To collect the information, a personal survey was administered to a sample of 343 customers.  The validity and reliability of the scale was determined by Exploratory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's coefficient and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Among the main findings, it is highlighted that the scale shows high reliability and internal consistency since one factor explains 50% of the total accumulated variance and the total Cronbach's Alpha is 0.846. When the confirmatory model was applied, positive correlations were identified between the indicators and the variables and between the three variables. Therefore, the final scale consisted of three subscales and 23 items. 

The current knowledge society is surrounded by digital environments that require specific skills to function in them. All this leads to a digital evolution, to a change that develops continuously in different rhythms, contexts and areas. Being the educational part, one of the most affected by these transformations, which in many cases is a problem for teachers and students who have little or no digital skills. For this reason, this work aims to analyze the digital evaluation in the learning processes of the Juan Antonio Vergara Alcívar Educational Unit. In this study, descriptive bibliographical research was used, with a qualitative-quantitative approach. Analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive methods and statistical method were applied. As a data collection instrument, a survey with multiple choice questions was applied to a sample of 30 teachers. The results obtained conclude that teachers apply digital evaluation in the learning process, obtaining multiple benefits to improve the quality of education, however; the percentage of its use remains low, thus limiting the development of digital abilities and skills in students. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to be trained in digital assessment issues to streamline the processes of knowledge acquisition.   

The recent study aims to investigate and analyze the information from theoretical and empirical research on the Scratch Program and its implication in the learning process, therefore relevant information has been collected and analyzed, resulting in the review of 45 investigations of which 30 scientific articles have been considered that are aligned with the proposed objective. In the reviewed studies, documentary bibliographic research is used as a methodology and as an instrument the critical reading of antecedents, taking into account the reference of studies from the last six years of publication. In the results, the implication of the Scratch Program in secondary school was instituted, therefore, the use of educational software in teaching is essential, because it allows the teacher to be clear about the learning purposes he seeks, the most creative way for them to children can meet the standards throughout the learning activity. It is concluded that the application of the Scratch Program has evolved the educational environment in an optimal way, changing the routine strategies of the teaching process; by those that favor the development of technological skills in schoolchildren.

This research work focuses on determining the seismic vulnerability index of 81 buildings located in the different communities of the Manglaralto Parish; the most vulnerable is subjected to analysis using qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In the qualitative methodology, 3 international methods were used, some of them were adapted to the Ecuadorian construction standard NEC 2015; FEMA P-154 is the methodology that was used for all structures to determine their seismic vulnerability index and to know the probability of major collapse. For the analysis of the building with more irregularities and with lower scores, the methodology established by Benedetti - Petrinni and the Seismic Vulnerability Index Scoring System proposed by Chang 1995 were applied, both determined the structure with a high seismic vulnerability. In the quantitative analysis, two methods will be applied, linear and non-linear analysis, to know the behavior of the structure in the face of an earthquake, the seismic performance criteria provided by the NEC-2015 and ASCE7-16 standards will be used exceptionally. The structure does not meet any of the requirements established by the regulations, which means that it has a high seismic vulnerability and an inadequate structural system.

This article explores the tools of educational teams, composed of principals, inspectors, teachers, and other education professionals, regarding students with special educational needs (SEN), given by intellectual disabilities in Chile. This literature review highlights the lack of formative knowledge, professional tools, specialized evaluations, and professional diagnoses that complicate the learning processes and social experiences of students with intellectual disabilities, which generate instances of discrimination, abuse, and rejection. Among the most relevant findings, it is worth recognizing the danger created by the shortcomings the undergraduate training of teachers and their subsequent job training for the current needs of inclusive education; and the need for alternatives to the traditional model of standardized tests and exclusively academic achievements, such as the assessment of adaptive behavior and universal design, to direct the approach of the educational team towards a model of respect and universal empathy, which can be followed by the student body. 

The BANI environment (acronym for brittle, anxius, non-linear, incomprehensible, which translated into Spanish is: fragile, anxious, non-linear and incomprehensible), is developed from the year 2020, where people, organizations and nations were affected by the health pandemic due to various changes in the environment. This research project carries out an analysis in the management of human talent in the BANI environment for organizations, where strategies focused on the management and retention of human talent at the operational level are investigated, which are developed by companies in the moments where a brittle, unstable, ambiguous and incomprehensible environment is generated and the strategic prospective is validated with the variable human talent of the organization. The methodology that is followed is a documentary research that allows analyzing the trends of human talent management and study of the internal and external environments, VICA and BANI, analyze strategies that many organizations implement to retain the organization's human talent. Documentary research is a qualitative research technique, the techniques used during the research process were focus groups, semi-structured interviews, surveys for population characterization and application of a Likert-type scale to have the perceived environmental quality index, through a structured questionnaire, allowing the study of organizational or corporate culture, business leadership, corporate social responsibility, productivity, change management, rethinking the company in the short term, risks, disruption, adaptation to VICA and BANI environments.Key words: Ambiguous, strategies, retention, human talent

Assesment is the process by which one person observes the performance of another. The characteristics of an ideal evaluation are validity, reliability, acceptability, profitability and educational impact (Schuwirth et al., 2017); Fulfilling these characteristics is a challenge for the evaluation designer, hence the need to combine strategies that allow the subject to be evaluated comprehensively. Currently, the Outcome Present State Test -OPT model is a tool that establishes a structure for the clinical reasoning of problems, focusing them on the expected results in nursing practice. It raises the importance of reorienting the teaching and learning of the nursing process by thinking about it in reflective terms, facilitating the development of clinical reasoning skills. The objective was to measure the relative learning increase (RAI) of clinical reasoning in palliative nursing through the use of the OPT Model as a pedagogical and evaluation strategy in the fifth semester of nursing at the Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas. This is an observational study, which measured the relative increase in learning clinical reasoning in palliative nursing through the use of the OPT Model, with a programmatic evaluation system, which evaluated clinical reasoning in palliative nursing with a clinical case in two moments. The first day of the module as diagnostic evaluation and the last day as exit evaluation. The two results were compared with the AKI measure, as follows; The calculation of the IRA was carried out by virtue of the following function: ((Score in the EDS - Score in the EDI) / Score in the EDI)). (EDI, Diagnostic Evaluation of Admission, EDS, exit evaluation). Regarding the results, learning was 230% for the overall course. The average yield increase was up 1.3 times. There were no significant differences by gender. We conclude that evaluation is a learning tool (Cano et. al, 2017) when we manage to design objective, transparent instruments that allow us to identify the process and where both the teacher and the student recognize the objective of their learning by providing feedback in time. real. The assessment of clinical reasoning in palliative nursing through the use of OPT as a pedagogical strategy and evaluation instrument is innovative and provides substantial elements for curricular alignment (Biggs, 2011). and systematic, progressive and a fair assesment

Competency based education seeks to develop cognitive skills that allow students to generate critical thinking that translates into the ability of students to solve problems inside and outside the classroom. The main objective of this research project is to design a learning strategy to develop critical thinking in fourth grade students of the Fiscal Educational Unit "Quince de Octubre". In this sense, it is necessary for teachers to take advantage of the various moments of work in the field of education and be able to introduce or develop strategies to cultivate this criticality in students. Hence the importance of understanding the dimensions of reasoning, the criteria and intellectual elements necessary to develop critical thinking, and analyzing strategies to encourage active and reflective participation based on the academic level of students, since, by developing critical thinking it is a strategy that benefits learning in general. Therefore, the teaching of students and the methods of teachers must be transformed, that is, take a turn to change the routine memorization for critical thinking to face changes and contribute with new and creative ideas. This is why this research was educational because it adopts a dialectical perspective, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to study educational phenomena. In the field diagnosis, different methods, techniques and tools are applied to verify the objectivity of the problem. Both theoretical and practical approaches allow to identify causes, consequences and design instructional strategies based on systematic scientific references in a theoretical framework to guide the teaching process to better understand their potentialities, abilities, needs and therefore the increase of participation. of the students.

Inventory management is considered one of the fundamental tools for the success of any organization regardless of its size and economic activity, keeping track of inventories allows you to know how many materials or items the company has and what it lacks to manage purchases efficiently and thus avoid shortages or high levels of inventory causing economic losses for it. This Research was carried out, with the objective of analyzing inventory management and its impact on purchases in entrepreneurship of groceries located in the Manta parish, through an investigation with a quantitative approach, documentary and non-experimental desing, with a sample of 36 establishments registered in the Municipality of Manta. Using a questionnaire of closed questions as a collection technique, likewise, the information collected was processed by the SPSS system, obtaining the necessary data for its analysis. The results were positive in response to the question posed in the study, demonstrating that if it is observed that inventory management affects the purchases of groceries located in the Manta parish. Based on the present work, new investigations can be directed in other parishes of the Manta canton, where these ventures in the food sector contribute to the economy of the city and their own families, for which it is essential to carry out good management of inventories and purchases and thus be able to make the best decisions for the growth and success of the business
