The inadequate management of waste, solid waste and other by-products by agri-food companies has a direct impact on the environmental balance. This article aimed to analyze the main factors that influence the impact, management and use of agro-industrial waste to improve environmental quality and develop circular economy.  It was developed applying a mixed approach of exploratory level through the bibliographic review on the use of agro-industrial waste by selecting articles in scientific journals, books, theses, reports among others in a period between 2018-2021 where reliable information was collected to identify the different types of biodegradable waste  (bagasse, cachaça, rice husk, corn stubble, whey lacto, citrus by-products, banana peel, fruit and vegetable residues) , from food industries as well as the main technologies used for the use of these by-products (chemical-biological, bioenergetic, environmental treatment, pyrolysis, gasification, combustion, synthesis, hydrolysis, fermentation, separation of products) through the construction of descriptive tables.  It was determined that the main factors that directly affect environmental pollution through agro-industrial waste are: inefficient management of biodegradable waste, inadequate management and final disposal;  It was also determined that there is a high range of alternatives for the processing of agro-industrial waste such as: biofuels, functional foods, bioplastics, cellulosic structures, biodegradable materials and a marked trend towards the investigation of the composition, management, applications and uses of agro-industrial waste in the region. The proper and efficient management of these raw materials allows to generate sustainable development in society, reduction of environmental pollution and the formation of circular economy.

En 2008 se argumentó que los contextos institucionales de las economías emergentes difieren de las economías avanzadas, las cuales configuran la acción emprendedora. En ese sentido, se revisó 60 artículos sobre el emprendimiento en las economías emergentes y se descubrió que en efecto las débiles estructuras institucionales pueden influir en el comportamiento emprendedor, también se encontró que las teorías existentes sobre el emprendimiento dejan vacíos al intentar explicar el fenómeno en países caracterizados por elevados niveles de desigualdad, inseguridad y entornos institucionales llenos de corrupción. Como resultado se ofrecen algunas orientaciones para futuras investigaciones sobre el emprendimiento en los mercados emergentes.

The present work aimed to analyze the different theoretical positions that in the contemporary world are established regarding the legal responsibility attributed to AI systems from events that occurred or executed by these algorithms, considering their autonomy in decision-making from their autonomous learning. Although the development of AI should provide humanity with countless benefits, when there is affectation, damage or endangerment of legal assets protected by law, it is necessary to determine who bears the legal responsibility to answer if the decision that caused the grievance was the artificial intelligence system.

This article proposes a reflection on the educational potential of scenic art as a resource used in the socio-educational process of young people deprived of liberty, with records of good practices experienced in the Center for Adolescents in Conflict with the CAC Law, in the city of Loja. - Ecuador and, which serve as a reference for the discussion of the necessary change of panorama of said reality. The first work entitled 'A diary for emotions' focusing artistic education on emotions, proposed the creation of a diary to record impressions on plastic, visual and scenic activities, supported by the technique of the Theater of the Oppressed; given the success of the practice evidenced in the behavior change of the deprived young people, as a result, a complete staging was developed addressing metaphors of the inmates' orchard based on the exploration of a seed whose condition of being a body deprived of liberty he could be a free spirit to create his own poetics. The work 'The poetics of the seed' was qualified for the Art and Mental Health component of the FIAVL 2021. Both initiatives will strengthen an interdisciplinary work that is recorded here in dialogue with authors who support the theme through the social responsibility of artistic education as inclusive axis in the prison socio-education process.

El COGEP, establece que la demanda debe reunir ciertos requisitos, de acuerdo con lo establecido en su artículo 142. Es así como, la o el juzgador cuando avoca conocimiento de la causa, se pronuncia a través de una providencia donde califica la demanda y en caso de determinarse que la misma no es clara o no reúne los requisitos del artículo antes mencionado, se ordena que la aclare o complete en dichos términos, y en caso de omitirse esta orden judicial, se dispondrá el archivo de la demanda. Sin embargo, existen casos, donde los juzgadores disponen que la parte actora complete la demanda, ordenando que se complete en el sentido de explicar la forma en que se va a practicar la prueba o que se agregue la imposibilidad del acceso judicial a la prueba. Con estos antecedentes, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo, el analizar jurídicamente el requisito de la demanda según el numeral 7 del artículo 142 del Código Orgánico General de Procesos. La modalidad del estudio fue mixta, en este sentido se ha logrado tener un alcance exploratorio y descriptivo, los métodos utilizados han sido el deductivo y el analítico – sintético, teniendo una investigación de carácter documental, de campo y experimental, aplicando técnicas empíricas como la encuesta, entrevista y estudio de casos. El principal resultado ha sido que efectivamente los juzgadores incurren en una exigencia extralimitada del numeral 7 del artículo 142 del Código Orgánico General de Procesos, concluyendo en que debe estipularse una norma clara y expresa, donde se contemple el proceder en estos casos.

On a planetary scale, alcohol consumption represents a problem for public health, in adolescence multiple factors contribute to the practice of said behavior. The family constitutes the fundamental nucleus of society and its dynamics is closely linked to the role played by each member, by providing positive components of interaction, coexistence, development and acceptable behaviors established in an apparently stable environment. The research aimed to evaluate the correlation between family functionality and levels of alcohol consumption in a group of high school adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years. A quantitative, non-experimental study was carried out, with a cross-sectional descriptive and correlational scope, using the Family Functionality Questionnaire (FF-SIL) created by De la Cuesta, Pérez, Louro and Bayarre (1996) and the Questionnaire for the Identification of Alcohol Consumption Disorders (AUDIT) elaborated by Saunders, Aasland, Babor, De La Fuente and Grant (1992). The analysis of results was carried out with the statistical package SPSS (version 25.0). The results obtained showed a statistically negative correlation between family functionality and alcohol consumption (rₛ= -0.020, p= 0.705). It is concluded that a minimum percentage of students presents a risk of alcohol consumption, in the same way family functionality predominates, which constitutes a protective factor and enhances the ability to avoid and reduce vulnerability to this consumption behavior.    

This research develops a documentary analysis of the image as part of the strategic planning of higher education institutions. This process generates individuation criteria, where communication acts as an associated medium. In this sense, it is the institutions' own reality that allows them to communicate with heterogeneous magnitudes that are above and below them. Thus, the objective of this study was to explain how the image represents the product of the communication that an organization undertakes with its internal and external audiences, being an intangible asset that has the potential to lead to understanding and commitment with key groups. The present study contributes to the understanding of the phenomena described from two points of entry: first, it focuses on the determination of the image from its management, considering its relationship with the institutions of Higher Education, which corresponds to the collection and analysis of information from conceptual spaces. Finally, the study introduces the definition of attributes, which explains its determination process. To carry out this research, the qualitative method was applied through the review of specialized literature, whose data were extracted from academic databases such as: Scopus, Scielo, Dialnet, Redalyc, among others, and subsequently, a comparative analysis of the information obtained in the documents versus the documentary review of the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Cotacachi was carried out. This, in order to establish the relationship between theory and its application. The results show that the dynamics found in the literature are directly related to those established in the institution, evidencing their relevance in the context of higher education.

Companies are constituted based on a vision, mission and objectives proposed at the beginning of their creation, and these respond to a study and analysis that allows identifying their qualities, strengths and weaknesses, making each of them unique entities and different from the rest. competition. Organizations seek, through their operational processes, to obtain economic or commercial benefits through the production of goods or services that serve certain types of markets, making use of well-structured communication management processes, ordered and planned by organizational managers. This manuscript aims to highlight the importance of communication as a key element and essential resource for business management in modern industry. The document is based on a bibliographic, descriptive or correlational study that is made up of several sections, so at the beginning of the text, it begins by analyzing and contrasting theories and thoughts of several authors understood in the matter in question, then a brief look towards the past on communication, later, elements such as the communication strategy, advantages of a good communication system in the company, their importance and to finish communication flows in modern organizations are linked to the text.

Urban sustainability is one that offers quality of life to its inhabitants without putting at risk the resources and the current and future well-being of the population, and also seeks social justice. The dimensions that intervene to generate sustainable spaces are economic, social and environmental, whose interaction pursues efficiency, equity and habitability. Informal settlements in a city form an integral part of the urban fabric and register different levels of sustainability generated by inequalities in the conditions of spatial integration, location, access to network infrastructures, facilities, services, jobs and income, land ownership and of housing, among others. These inequalities generate marked barriers that hinder municipal management in the process of regularization and consolidation of informal estates, also limiting the people located there to ascend socially, integrate into territorial dynamics and achieve higher levels of well-being. Added to this is the absence of clear local management and administration procedures for informal settlements, which limits the identification of problems, the potential of their realities to guide the regularization and consolidation process, the mitigation of vulnerabilities and risks. Given this reality, the question arises: How can the levels of sustainability of informal settlements guide regularization and consolidation policies? Measuring sustainability in the total number of informal settlements in an urban area by calculating partial indices and the global sustainability index makes it possible to identify critical problems and the inequalities between them, rank them, prioritize them and formulate strategies and actions in a more accurate way, giving priority to those settlements in the most critical situation. Knowing the levels of sustainability of informal settlements facilitate management and regularization, in a joint action of the municipality with the communities. It is a valid strategy to guide regularization processes, their consolidation and guide investments.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic disease of multifactorial etiology that in recent years has increased the number of diagnosed cases, so the clinical-endoscopic and histopathological approach is of vital importance to provide comprehensive care to patients. Objective: To characterize the inflammatory bowel disease clinical-endoscopic and histopathologically. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out. The universe was composed of 78 patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and the sample was made up of 54 patients. The data obtained from biopsy ballots were collected in a form. Results: Patients aged between 50 and 69 years old predominated. Female sex and white skin color prevailed. The cardinal symptom that predominated was diarrhea followed by enterorrhagia and the time of evolution that prevailed was 4 to 6 months. The most frequent location of the lesions was the left colon and ulcerative colitis predominated as the main variant. Continuous lesions and granular appearance of the mucosa predominated in endoscopic features, while in histological features crypt distortion and inflammatory infiltrate of the same layer prevailed. Among the complications, the fistula stood out and most of these patients required surgical treatment. Conclusions: Greater affectation in middle ages, female and white skin color patients. The main associated symptom is diarrhea. The most common variant was ulcerative colitis. Adequate clinical-endoscopic and histopathological correlation was evidenced. The main complication was the fistulous tracts and intestinal stenosis, that mostly require surgical treatment.
