The objective of the present work was to perform a descriptive observational analysis of the current status and occurrence of cases of leptospirosis in the population of the canton of Portoviejo in the province of Manabí, Ecuador. In addition, the approach of future strategies that will be carried out to improve the prevention and control of the disease in animals and humans was developed. The incidence of cases of leptospirosis was determined by epidemiological weeks and years, in a time series that covered the 2014-2017 period. An analysis of the occurrence of cases was carried out, with the aim of describing the characteristics of their tendency, seasonality and the channel of habitual behavior. It is concluded that in the province of Manabí the incidence of leptospirosis in the human population is relatively low taking into account the number of inhabitants per canton. The highest number of outbreaks was recorded during 2014 and the increase in the number of cases is evident in the last period of 2017. The age group with the highest number of cases is 20 to 49 years old, with a predominance of females, during 2015. Leptospirosis manifests a seasonal behavior with greater occurrence in the months of February, March, April and June. The endemic pathway of the occurrence of leptospirosis in the studied territory is from one to six monthly cases; evidencing an increase in the occurrence during 2017 with several months in the alert zone.

Dermatological diseases are a common reason for consultation in the daily veterinary clinic being one of the diseases that most aff ect canines in Peru. Th e present study aimed to determine which type of dermatitis is most frequent in canines (Canis familiaris L.) of the Lima district of Magdalena del Mar, Lima, Peru, for which the types of dermatitis diagnosed by race, sex and age of the canines of the district were determined. A total of 4231 clinical records were collected from three veterinary clinics in the district of Magdalena del Mar, from a total of 13 clinics located in the district. Th e clinical records considered in this study were those from February 2011 to January 2015, of which only 1915 records corresponded to dogs with residence in the district. Th e data taken from these clinical records were race, sex, age, year of diagnosis of the dermatological disease and type of dermatitis. We found 538 new cases of dermatitis corresponding to the number of males of 273 (50.74%) and that of females of 265 (49.26%). Th e results indicated that the most common dermatitis was infectious dermatitis with 248 cases (46.1%) and within this category, bacteria (113 cases, representing 45.56% within its category). Secondly, allergic dermatitis was found by fl ea bites, with 91 cases, representing 55.15% within its category. On the other hand, it was observed that it is more common for males to develop dermatitis (50.74%) and that it occurs more in mixed-breed dogs (29%). Regarding age, the group with the highest relative frequency were dogs older than 10 years with 194 cases (36.1%).

El mundo del siglo XXI atraviesa por una particular expresión de la violencia y la muerte asociada a la guerra por los territorios, al despojo de la tierra y de los bienes comunes; frente a esto, las comunidades resisten con creatividad y en colectivo, y recrean los lazos de esperanza también jugando.La exposición fotográfica titulada El mundo juega contra la violencia. Giochi di strada nel mondo, Juegos de la calle en el mundo. América/Europa muestra las diversas formas en que las sociedades resisten y responden a la violencia. La convocatoria abierta, difundida en 2016 a través de las redes sociales y respaldada por organizaciones y colectivos de Italia y América Latina, convocó a decenas de personas que compartieron sus miradas espontaneas sobre el juego y las actividades deportivas que llenan de vida los espacios públicos de los lugares donde viven. Las fotografías, realizadas por fotógrafos no profesionales, retratan la cotidianidad de comunidades, barrios y ciudades. Espacios en disputa por la violencia en las calles, que se ha establecido como parte de la vida y del control social, el miedo en la calle es combatido por la apropiación cotidiana, como lo muestran las imágenes. El mundo juega contra la violencia muestra los espacios públicos donde se recrean lazos comunitarios y, en el juego, se recrean nuevas reglas de comportamiento. El juego se reapropia poderosamente del espacio público, desafía el miedo a salir a la calle y a las plazas a través de la participación, la complicidad y la osadía colectiva. Al mismo tiempo, la posibilidad de que existan actividades lúdicas y de convivencia en espacios abiertos es una poderosa señal de paz, pues es emblema del control social sobre su entorno y muestra de éxito en los procesos de formación de paz. /Las imágenes que conforman la carpeta gráfica corresponden a muy diferentes geografías. En todas aparecen personas de distintas edades, y en especial niños y niñas, jugando, en este acto tan vital del juego, que termina siendo bastante parecido aun en las más diferentes latitudes.Las fotos nos muestran chicos indígenas jugando con burbujas o, en una escena bellísima de Cherán, Michoacán, podemos ver la carrera del antiguo juego del aro, que pone a prueba la habilidad y la rapidez a un mismo tiempo. Por supuesto, en las imágenes se repite la infaltable pelota, rodando o botando entre dos o entre muchos, en la calle, en la playa, en la ciudad. Y, desde luego, la camiseta del cuadro preferido llevada con orgullo, aun en medio del campo de refugiados o en la breve tregua de la guerra. Y el agua, la belleza del agua y la eterna alegría de mojarse y chapotear hasta empaparse.

Entender la violencia y construir la paz. Son éstos dos imperativos tanto ambiciosos cuanto urgentes frente al proliferar de múltiples y crecientes violencias en la sociedad contemporánea, que afectan todas las dimensiones de la vida: los espacios individuales y colectivos, las estructuras sociales y su vínculo con la naturaleza y el ambiente, la dimensión simbólica, los valores y las relaciones interpersonales, las relaciones de producción, reproducción y las políticas públicas, y un largo etcétera.

Finally, after the respective analyses the Acunetix 11 tool was used, taking as reference the OWASP 2017 Top Ten security risks. As a result, a detailed report about the vulnerabilities that were found during the scanning process of the different municipal web pages was obtained, to conclude with the respective security recommendations for the most common threats.

The digitalization of the universities is one of the great challenges of the Ecuadorian university at present. The search of the quality in the higher education implies the achievement of transformations from the strategic perspective. For that reason, the CIOs must be prepared to take part to the decision-making team, which understands the business needs, proposes technological solutions that guarantee the generation of value.Over time, the lack of understanding of the needs of stakeholders, has led them to propose isolated and disconnected solutions, which have addressed the problems without doing a causal analysis. The present work seeks to motivate to CIOs of the higher education institutions of Ecuador to implement business architecture to propose strategic solutions and address the problems of the universities in an integral manner, articulating the strategic components of the business, Applications, data and technology through business architecture. The proposal from the TOGAF reference framework and its ADM methodology is add a list of reference frameworks, models, standards and good practices aligned to higher education. These referents should be adopt depending on the context the need of each institution in the environment in which they are applied. It is worth mentioning that in this work other tools and methods of the frame of reference have been omit, which should be adopt in the exercise of the business architecture.

When talking about social networks, all the advantages they offer to the user in terms of communication and interaction with the world are expressed, and it is also recognized that they are a source of extraction and use of data for various purposes, although some with illicit purposes. Social networks have become popular and people dedicate daily time to review the main notifications received, as well as communicate, publish, comment or place labels. The need to control privacy is fundamental, but the configurations that can be made to avoid it are not enough. The user posts messages that contain elements of natural language, but that are difficult to interpret by software. To perform a search for items considered private that are found in the published texts or that can be inferred by the total revision of the visible information published in the user's profile, it is necessary to process the text to clean it, normalize it and classify it. Private information can easily be inferred, just by associating the different textual publications that were shared by the user or another person. It is opportune to make use of text mining techniques to avoid the publication of private information in the profile that is shared with the group of friends of the social network.
