The debate on journalism and cultural identity allows the reflection about journalism as a practice that is institutionalized and internationalized and, simultaneously, is anchored in a specific place and time, fulfilling a key role in cultural and symbolic exchanges. This article addresses the position adopted by the press of the ‘Frontier of peace’, composed of the border cities Santana do Livramento (Brazil) and Rivera (Uruguay), facing the main mark of identity of the region: portunhol, which gained new importance with the arrival of COVID-19. The case study analyzes, from a quali-quanti perspective, the approach taken by two local newspapers: A Plateia (Santana do Livramento) and Diário Norte (Rivera). The sample is composed of editions from two time periods: May 2016 and May-June 2020, when the “Cuplé de Rivera” was released, on the radio program La mesa de los galanes, broadcast by FM del Sol, from Montevideo. The research highlights the “negotiation” between journalistic identity and cultural identity in local journalism. As well as observes some of the plots developed in the construction of meaning around the portunhol and its cause in silencing and discrimination.

This article is based on the study of groundwater, as a fundamental human right, and the problem of its contamination. The analysis aims to address the problem of contamination of underground aquifers by surface water and discharge of hazardous waste in the soil. Finally, the importance of water as a fundamental human right and the importance in this context of groundwater is analyzed from a socio-environmental perspective. In light of these reflections, we pose the following question: To what extent can the lack of Brazilian constitutional legislation on making water a fundamental human right become a socio-environmental problem? In this research, we use the analytical-deductive method, based on an objective and systematic process of description of the contents and hermeneutics as well as the understanding of meanings, using bibliographic exploration as a research technique, with dogmatic and doctrinal consultation on the topics. 

Full employment is a challenge that we face since the nineteenth century, being this objective by which the governments have gone from practicing a corrective policy to a more interventionist one being created in the case of Spain the Law 56/2003 of Employment based on two pillars, to mitigate the effects of the unemployment, and to face its causes through the orientation, formation and intermediation until reaching the insertion of the active population. However, with the economic and financial crisis of 2008, the ability of the Public Employment Services (Servicios Públicos de Empleo) to fight against unemployment has been questioned and we have questioned the viability of the current system. This article reviews the labor insertion programs in Andalusia in order to analyze their adequacy to the needs of job applicants, reflecting on their efficiency and effectiveness with the final objective of proposing improvements.

The research was carried out at the Andrade Agricultural-Farm facilities, located in the Pastaza canton. The study area, located at 900 meters above sea level (masl), has humid subtropical weather, with a relative humidity of 87%, and the temperatures fluctuate between 20 and 28ºC. In order to evaluate the digestibility and energy concentration of four pigs’ diets; dry matter digestibility, crude protein, ethereal extract, organic matter, and pure energy and digestible energy was determined. For this study, forage was harvested at approximately 75 days of maturity, using eight castrated male pigs (60±5 kg live weight). A control diet and three experimental diets were offered with inclusion Tithonia diversifolia forage meal at (0; 10; 15 and 20%) levels.  The animals stayed in individual metabolic cages. The adaptation period was between seven and ten days of stool collection. At the beginning of each experimental period, the animals were weighed to adjust their feeding consumption to the 0.10 kg DM/kg0.75 level. The diets used in the study were iso-proteic and iso-energetic. There were no significant differences (p<0.05) found between the diets for ethereal extract digestibility and energy concentrations. The results obtained for diet digestibilities in the evaluated diets, according to the inclusion levels of T. diversifolia flour, were: crude energy (0.75; 0.70; 0.70 and 0.68 %), dry matter (0.75; 0.69; 0.69 and 0.67 %), organic matter (0.75; 0.64; 0.54 and 0.64 %) and crude protein (0.74; 0.59; 0.57 and 0.57 %), respectively. Energy levels and organic matter digestibility suggest the use of T. diversifolia forage flour in growing pigs’ diets at up to 15% inclusion and up to 20% for fattening growing pigs.

Toquilla straw or Carludovica Palmata is grown in mountainous areas such as the Coast and the East as they are areas where the climate is humid. It is a species of palm tree (with fibrous tissue), it grows wild in the tropical forests of the Western and Eastern regions, and in areas located at an average altitude of 100 to 180 meters. The diversity of this crop has not expanded to other parts of the country, because it does not have the climatic characteristics that it needs. Toquilla straw plays an important role in the economy of various groups or associations established at the national level, constituting a source of income for each of the families. The objective of this article is to carry out a socio-productive characterization of the production of toquilla straw, especially the artisanal productive flow and analysis of the elements that intervene in the formation of the prices of this raw material used in the making of the hat, heritage of humanity and other consumer products. Through research instruments such as the survey, observation and interview, it was possible to reach conclusions, establishing the new flow diagrams of the artisanal production of toquilla straw, as well as the formation of the price. In summary, a diagnosis is obtained that allows decisions to be made in the commune.

The main objective of this paper is to present the results of the market study carried out by the Catholic University of Cuenca, extension of San Pablo La Troncal, with the students of the business career.Soy is a grain that belongs to the family of the legume, whose main ingredient is oil and high protein content, for this reason, it is used as food for human and animal consumption, as the main benefit, reducing sugar in the blood of those diabetic people, in addition to reducing cholesterol, among others. The objectives in the current research process were the valuation of the potential demand of soy products, the sensory evaluation and the design of market strategies. The research model used was the probabilistic quantitative model. The information was collected through a survey. The population studied in the canton La Troncal corresponded to 54,389 inhabitants. The calculated sample was 276 people with a confidence level of 94% and a margin of error of 6%. The results and conclusions that were determined in the consumption of soybeans were 82% acceptance, who would consume them at least twice a week. The derivative of the highest consumer acceptance is "soy milk". The strategies are formulated according to the marketing combination (price, product, promotion and advertising space).

This essay establishes the relationship of the integrating elements in the acquisition of knowledge, establishing the characteristics of the learning theories that interact in the process and the necessary contributions in the formation of total and meaningful learning, taking as a necessary input the new technologies and their application. (prioritizing values ​​in the process), relating their conceptualization and their characteristics according to their application in the pedagogical context. The study focuses its analysis on the structural learning theories that have given way to modalities with similar and / or combined characteristics, allowing the application of teaching-learning strategies and techniques developed through new technologies, for which theories are considered. and streams of learning: conductism, cognitive, constructivist and connectivist. In the same way, the aspects of programs (software) and tools (hardware) that provide mental and psychomotor structures for learning are presented, taking into consideration the continuous production of them and the constant development that society demands in terms of new designs, innovation of others and monitoring of performance related to the teaching-learning process.

The objective of this work was to describe the response of maize to different thicknesses of seed coat. The trial was carried out in the exteriors of the soil laboratory of the Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo, located in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The experiment was about different thicknesses of maize seed coat and its influence on the germinative process and development of the first stages of the seedlings. When less depth was used in the cover, there was a higher percentage of germination and a better development of the maize seedlings was achieved, except for the height of the plant where the opposite occurred.

The purpose of this research was to establish the effect of three tillage systems and their incidence on the physical properties of the soil, germination, development and yield of yellow hard maize in Babahoyo's canton. Three tillage treatments were used: i) Conventional tillage (LC); ii) Minimum tillage (LM) and iii) Zero tillage (LC0) where three corn hybrids were grown. From the results obtained, it is concluded that tillage systems in arithmetic terms produced minimal changes on the physical properties of the soil (apparent density (Da), porosity (P), mechanical resistance (RM) and infiltration (I)). The germination of the seeds of the hybrids in the three tillage systems was carried out in a normal way; the most consistent changes happened in the superficial layer with LC0 only, under these same tillage conditions, the roots of the three hybrids studied reached a higher volume, plant height, weight of 100 grains and yield. Regarding the grain/cob ratio, no statistically significant differences were recorded.
