Today it is still evident that gender equality and the participation of women remains limited in the different areas, despite their achievements and advances that they have achieved thanks to their effort and perseverance, thus considering in investigating the Role of women in Risk Management in the different public institutions of the Urban Area of ​​the Guaranda Canton. Risk Management currently plays a very important role both in society and in public and private institutions, considering it a transversal axis in development planning, seeking to guarantee the well-being of the entire population and the conservation and protection of assets. properties, whether cultural or natural heritage, against any type of threat and risk of natural and anthropic origin. Thus proposing a qualitative research approach, which helped to know and categorize the role of women in Risk Management; which was carried out under the Delphi methodology and the theory based on the data that through the application of surveys, interviews and on-site visits, it was possible to identify that even in the public institutions of the urban area of ​​Guaranda there is no insertion of the theme of Risk Management as it corresponds in its different phases, therefore the participation of women is limited despite their great contribution to development and of course in the area of ​​Risk Management.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Ecuador hard, not only health-wise, but also socially, economically, and politically. The official statistics that have been public (far from reality) therefore this work makes it easier to know what the process and the measures that have been taken regarding COVID-19 in the public institutions of the Pelileo canton were. For this purpose, a cross-sectional and exploratory quantitative approach was proposed as it is a problem little known by the population under study, which are the public servants of the institutions of the Pelileo Canton. The GAD's assumed the risk of working according to the provisions of the COE to progressively return to the activities concerning the functions, services and other competencies as public institutions of service to the Community, within this context the public servants were resuming their functions little by little and under strict biosecurity measures for them and for users; in turn, also to know if these measures used caused an environmental impact between the pandemic versus risk management measures that they have outlined, the institutions for managing the risk of contagion of public servants and their respective continuous improvement in how to know how to deal with the pandemic. Where the number of infected people, number of families affected by COVID-19 was established with the information provided by public servants, thus listing the actions in order of importance used by the public institutions of the Canton.

Pedagogical contexts and their own practices have evolved. These transformations. with reinvented principles lead to the generation of other training spaces and the implementation of certain technologies, such as augmented reality, which has become a resource for higher education. This research inquiries about augmented reality in the training processes of university students, carried out in two Spanish universities (University of Seville and University of Barcelona). The objective of the study was to inquire about the knowledge about this technology. To To do this, a a questionnaire was applied to 186 participating students and four discussion groups were held. The results highlight the innovative, interesting and playful nature that augmented reality presents as a resource in teaching and learning processes, where students generate a series of skills and become prosumers and not consumers of their own digital objects. In addition, it highlights the importance of technological and pedagogical training for future education professionals.

This review explores critical pedagogy, considered by informal educators as a key influence, to insert it into the teaching and learning processes in higher education, seeking to assess its potential and innovative relevance. It delves into the background related to critical pedagogy, around its principles, purposes and influential approaches in global pedagogy. The results of the discussion denote that critical pedagogy is crucial for the teaching of informal educators, since it allows teachers and professionals to interrupt the hegemony of neo liberal and neo managerial thought in higher educational practices and reorient their position within the analyzed institutions. The conclusions focus on the practicality of the critical pedagogy qualification, within the teaching adhered to informal education in universities.

Business strategies are actions that help organizations to meet their objectives, they must be raised based on a prior analysis of both the internal context and the external context. On this basis, the objective of this paper was to critically and analytically analyze business strategies in the context of medium-sized manufacturing companies. Within the methodology used, a qualitative analysis was carried out since the study sought to discover patterns and categories supported by the use of different bibliographic material. Based on what has been indicated, the information was processed through the ATLAS.Ti9 software in order to structure, categorize and contrast the information obtained through semantic networks, co-occurrence table and the calculation of the Emergency Index. Among the main results, the obtaining of 30 codes stands out, the same ones that were generated through the processing of information from scientific articles, which were grouped into the guiding categories (business strategies and strategic management), while as emerging categories they resulted in a total of 9 codes being the most relevant: competitive advantage, environment analysis, goal achievement, action plan, business performance, long-term results, resource forecast, set of actions, future scenarios. Finally, it can be mentioned that business strategies represent a set of actions that are carried out in a company in order to create a competitive advantage, that is, those actions that are carried out in order to achieve certain objectives.

Technology within the educational field can be understood as the set of resources, processes and tools related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT), designed to achieve the scope that each institution projects, without neglecting the strategies emanating from the educational system in its various spaces and levels. The objective of the work is to document publications related to the use and abuse of ICTs, in the teaching-learning process at any educational level. The methodology is of a documentary type, using hermeneutics as an analytical method. The results denote that the adverse consequences resulting from the incorrect use of ICT stand out: distraction and dispersion of students given the infinity of existing options that leads them to non-productive areas such as online games. Accumulating excessive information produces an overflow in terms of the amount of knowledge, leaving aside the correct use of the saturation element that each student knows to determine when the search should stop. The conclusions highlight the infinities of unreliable information on the Internet, which when not verified cause distortions in the various contextualization that the student addresses. The works that students generally present are copies of texts found on the Web, losing the investigative sense that enriches knowledge feeds the lack of creativity. For digital information to become effective knowledge, it is important that educators take ownership in the reconstruction of comprehensive learning.

In contemporary history, earthquakes are systematically mentioned as a natural phenomenon with significant socialimpact; which, especially in urban settings, trigger a series of disorders in daily life that are difficult to predict. Theobjective of the research is to evaluate human vulnerability to the seismic threat in the Chimbo canton, Bolívar province;from the social, institutional and cultural environments. The research is of a mixed approach, of a non-experimental type,under an alpha numerical method. The criteria applied are part of the selection of indicators and parameters for evaluation,analysis and mixed weighting, as well as the estimation of the level of vulnerability (high, medium and low). Among themethodologies considered, those of the National Secretariat for Risk Management (SNGR) and the United NationsDevelopment Program (UNDP) stand out. The sample consisted of 430 subjects living in the urban area of the Chimbocanton and the parishes of La Magdalena and La Asunción. The results highlight that, in the Chimbo canton, there isevidence of a medium level of vulnerability (62%) of the buildings. In the Magdalena parish it is average (61%) and inAsunción average (71%). The social and institutional vulnerability of the urban area of the Chimbo canton is at a mediumlevel and, in the parishes of La Magdalena it is high and La Asunción medium. The conclusions detail that the culturalvulnerability in the urban area of the Chimbo canton is medium, due to the knowledge about the seismic threat. In theparishes of La Magdalena and La Asunción, cultural vulnerability is high, given the insufficient information of theinformants about the existing seismic threats in each area.

The purpose of the research is to know the correlation between the variables strategic planning and creation of sustainable competitive advantage, within the organizations of the popular and solidarity economy, settled in planning zones 2 and 3 of Ecuador.

As part of a prison management model, which promotes social rehabilitation through spaces that contribute to educational, work and social activities; framed in the construction of a life plan for citizens inserted in these realities, the present investigation aims to determine the ideal production cost system for the workshops of the Social Rehabilitation Center Sierra Centro Sur Turi - Cuenca, in order to cooperate from university spaces with specific actions that allow people deprived of liberty to compete with the foreign market on equal terms. The research had a mixed, non-experimental approach, with the application of the deductive and analytical method, supported by the survey technique. As a result, it was determined that the most favorable when designating indirect costs is through the application of the costing system based on activities, whose percentage of profit obtained was 39.87% between the analysis products beds and nightstands, and 42.83% useful in the traditional method, despite being 2.96% lower, the activity-based costing system is based on the fact that it facilitates the creation of an information base that allows the execution of a total quality management process. In addition, the indirect costs of production, marketing and administration are calculated more precisely. What will contribute so that Persons Deprived of Liberty achieve their inclusion in society, offering their products, improving their quality of life and that of their families.
