The Technical University of Babahoyo carries out a genetic improvement project in rice, where 13 advanced lines have been selected, which have been adapted in different areas of Ecuador, the experimental samples came from the dry season of 2021 (F8) and rainy season of 2022 (F9), in Santa Lucía, province of Guayas. This study has the following objectives: To determine the amylose and protein content of 13 advanced F8 and F9 rice lines compared to the SFL-11 variety; and Identify advanced rice lines with the best amylose content compared to the SFL-11 commercial variety. The samples were analyzed in the Grain Quality Laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Babahoyo. The humidity of the samples was lowered to 11-12%. 1000 g of seeds were weighed, which went through the cleaning process, shelling, the whole grain was obtained and this in turn went to the polisher where the white mass was obtained. In the sorter, whole grains and broken grains were separated. To measure the variables of amylose and protein contents, whole grains were used, proceeding to measure with the Kett An-900 brand equipment, series 0F00049. The experimental design used in this study was a Randomized Complete Design (DCA), with 13 treatments (13 advanced lines) plus 1 control (SFL-11 variety) with 3 repeats per treatment. Analysis of variance and Tukey's 5% test were performed. Descriptive statistics were also used. 

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a key food ingredient in Ecuador, thanks to the fact that it is among the products with the greatest demand throughout the country and is the only cereal consumed as such, with no more processing than shelling and polishing. It is important to analyze variables of the milling quality of the production that occur in the different Ecuadorian rice-producing localities. The main objectives of this research were: To describe the milling quality of samples of rice variety of SFL-11, from four producing areas; and to determine the influence of the four rice-producing localities on the milling quality of the SFL-11 rice variety. The samples were analyzed in the Grain Quality Laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Babahoyo. The studied variables were Impurities (g), husk (g), dust (g), classified rice (g) or whole grains, broken grains, amylose content (%) and protein content (%). A Complete Random Block Design (DBCA) and analysis of variance with 4 treatments (localities) and 10 repetitions per treatment were used, descriptive statistics, correlations, principal components analysis ACP, and Tukey's test at 5% were also used.  As for the results, the best milling quality was reported by samples from the Santa Lucia area, presenting the highest percentage of 64.4% of classified rice or whole grain and less broken rice.

Cognitive impairment and depression are common scenarios in the elderly. These components reduce independence at this stage, especially to carry out activities of daily living (ADL), this becomes risk factors for the development of larger pathologies such as dementias, especially Alzheimer's type dementia, research has the purpose of establishing the index of depression existing in the sample and how this disorder accelerates mild cognitive impairment in older adults of the diurnal gerontological center of the canton of El Empalme in the period 2022. Through a simple retrospective ex post facto design, we intend to present the relationship or degree of association between our variables; The center has a population of seventy-five older adults, taking as a sample twenty-three of them distributed in eight men and fifteen women in daytime mode. The main findings showed that the presence of depressive symptoms directly affects the progress of mild cognitive impairment in the older adult population, since it was determined that the same pathophysiology intervenes in both entities. This study made it possible to identify that both entities share similar neuroanatomical areas and that, in comorbidity with other risk factors such as chronic diseases, age, socioeconomic status, lack of family support, are the cause of greater disability in older adults

The development of this research project is aimed at determining the physical and chemical properties of an energy drink made from guayusa leaves by the process of heat transfer by convection, in the investigation process a mixed methodology was applied, that is, Qualitative and quantitative analysis was applied, with which the nutritional benefits of the plant for human consumption were demonstrated, for the analysis of the guayusa leaf samples. The 3k transfer method was applied where the concentration level of caffeine, pH, Brix acids, important factors in the quality of the drink, whose parameters are within the range established by the INEC for energy drinks, can be established. The result of the calculations showed that the infusion process at a moderate time allows to take full advantage of the substances of the guayusa plant, which provides the content of adequate energy stimulants and suitable for human consumption.

In the present writing on the professional profiles of the communicator from the perspective of teachers and directors of the career, it reflects the study of technical competences in academic knowledge, the qualitative methodology was used. The lack of knowledge about the curricula of the new job proposals from a prescriptive faculty director, was the cause of the creation of the academic writing. The objective of the project is to analyze labor skills from academic perspectives, this favored the creation of university writing, through research, data series are collected that allow collective improvement, observation develops the support of the study. The descriptions given by the individuals involved in the elaboration of the project, help in the interpretation of the general knowledge of the race.

The term "intellectual capital" refers to the immaterial and intangible assets, such as the experience, knowledge and skills of staff members, that organizations have. These resources are necessary to increase the productivity of enterprises operating in the real sector of the popular and solidarity economy (EPS) in the canton of Lago Agrio. In this sense, it is crucial to emphasize that intellectual capital also refers to the collective knowledge of employees and their ability to collaborate and exchange information. Companies that promote collaboration and continuous learning are more likely to maximize their intellectual capital. In addition, internal business operations, such as knowledge management systems and innovation, are included in the organization's intellectual capital. Companies can significantly increase their productivity by investing in tools and technology to improve these processes. This research has a quantitative approach due to the fact that the information collected is of a numerical nature and a statistical analysis was applied to obtain more accurate information regarding the research and the hypothesis proposed, of an exploratory, descriptive and correlational type with a population of 266 and a sample of 158 participating companies. In short, it is stated that intellectual capital is an important resource for companies in the real sector of the EPS of the Lago Agrio canton. To maximize this resource and increase productivity in these businesses, key strategies include fostering a collaborative culture and optimizing internal procedures, as well as making use of technology as a tool for innovation

In the Los Ríos province, corn crop production is highly developed by farmers, however, the misuse of farmers' practices has caused problems with soil fertility. The loss of organic matter and populations of beneficial microorganisms, decrease the productive capacity of the soils and therefore losses in the production of the grass. The objectives of the research were to determine the effect of the combination of mycorrhiza and humic acids on the agronomic behavior of the corn crop and to establish the treatment with the greatest increase in grain yield. As sowing material, seeds of the SOMMA hybrid were used. The treatments were composed of mycorrhiza (Mycor) at doses of 0,5 and 1,0 l ha-1 plus humic acids in different concentrations; plus an absolute witness without application of the aforementioned products. The experimental design of Axial AxBxC + 1 Factorial Designs was applied, using the Tukey test (p≥0,05). The results obtained in the field showed statistically different plant height with the application of the interaction of Mycor 0,5 l ha-1+ Humus 12% 3,0 l ha-1. With the applications, there was a greater length of ears, applying Mycor 0,5 l ha-1 + Humus 12% 2,0 l ha-1. Plants treated with Mycor 1,0 l ha-1 + Humus 12% 2,0 l ha-1 showed increases in higher grain production with an average of 6491,0 kg ha-1.

A learning environment is education beyond literality. For Piaget, the process of learning environments is not literal. The student will be the one who leads the learning process. The other actors are only facilitators. It is the space where communication and interactions that enable learning take place.  They are environments specifically designed to promote meaningful learning and relationships between teachers and students, relying on the use of different didactic resources. The strategic purposes of this scientific article are to establish purposes and objectives for the efficient development of competencies through learning environments and to describe how the public policies implemented in Ecuador have benefited children in Early Childhood Education.

Augmented reality is a technology with great benefits for students today, it is innovative, interactive and attracts the attention of the student.

For the present study, a total of 15 students duly enrolled in the educational institution have been taken, through which I study how augmented reality influences when acquiring new learning, through the investigation it was possible to conclude that augmented reality as an emerging technology is being becoming a practical tool that significantly improves the teaching-learning processes of the different subjects.

We begin by referring to the basic assumptions of the Recommendation Rec (2006)19 of the Council of Europe on objectives, principles, policies to support the positive exercise of parenthood. After detailing the assumptions, we define the concept of positive parenting, emphasizing what its exercise implies. The analysis continues with great emphasis and the philosophy of what this new paradigm of prevention, protection and support offers, given its crucial role in the comprehensive development of people and protection of their rights, especially the most vulnerable, and as an instrument of cohesion and social welfare of communities. With a socializing spirit of the new vision of families: integrative, affective, and inclusive, attuned to the well-being and development of their sons and daughters. The positive parenting approach is unknown by the intervened population, due to their dissatisfaction due to the non-fulfillment of their requests for improvements in public services by the local municipal government, we socialize the benefits of positive parenting, it will be the families and the community main actors, firmly convinced in this research, that they are the direct beneficiaries, much more motivated and aware of a new perception of family, community, social, health, educational, occupational and work life.
