The environment in which transportation companies operate is constantly innovating, creating new challenges to which they must adapt; in this sense, it is necessary to implement quality evaluation models to improve and guarantee their competitiveness. In El Oro, light cargo transportation has several shortcomings, which show a low quality in the provision of its services, a situation that is caused by not having an adequate process management. The objective of this research is to improve the quality of light cargo transportation services through the application of the UNE-EN13816 model to meet customer expectations and attract greater demand; it is quantitative-qualitative, descriptive in scope, with an inductive-deductive method, using non-probabilistic sampling by convenience and quotas. For its development, surveys were made to recurrent users, based on the attributes proposed by the selected model, this allowed to obtain a contrast on the perspective of the current and desired service quality. It was found that the attribute that is causing the greatest dissatisfaction is the time used in the transportation process. When the improvement proposal was applied, time optimization was achieved by means of the PERT diagram, reducing it from 28.96 to 21.20 hours. This corroborates that the objective and hypothesis are completely fulfilled; therefore, it can be affirmed that the light cargo transportation companies in El Oro that apply the UNE-EN13816 evaluation model will improve the quality and performance of the service. 

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a sector of great importance in the economic context of Ecuador, where the study was carried out with the general objective of describing the factors that affect the management of SMEs in the province of Manabí. It is concluded that SMEs are considered the main engine of society, who are responsible for meeting the demand for the production of goods/services, generating business flows, economy, business activities and providing people with job opportunities where they reside. In Ecuador, it is reflected in political and governmental changes that affect the business development of SMEs with businesses facing the local and national environment, in search of opportunities. On the part of the legal mechanisms of regulation, productive transformation and added value, the management of SMEs in this factor would be guaranteed in the short and medium term. At the same time, it is essential that technologies support companies and that they respond to local, national and international requirements to access different markets and, in the same way, SMEs can be involved in it.Although it has its limitations and there are incidences in the various factors; also, it is real that they have a market to provide services and solutions, where their best strategies and management must be exercised so that they remain active.

The regulations in force in Ecuador consider work as an economic-social right and duty and guarantee the right to work of all people, thus regulating labor relations between workers and employers within the various modalities and working conditions. The Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, recognizes work as a right and guarantee of persons deprived of liberty, allowing its development through associations for productive and commercial purposes, also mentions that the purpose of the social rehabilitation system is the development of capacities of persons deprived of liberty and the exercise of their rights for their social and economic reintegration. The Labor Code establishes that work is a right and a social duty that all people must comply with, however, it does not mention the form of regulation or the way in which the employment relationship would be applied when dealing with persons deprived of liberty. The Ministry of Justice, Human Rights and Religion as the governing body in public policies in penitentiary matters, together with the Ministry of Labor, the governing body in policies that guarantee equal employment opportunities, approved the Interministerial Agreement No. MDT-2015, of 22 of May 2015, which aims to regulate work activities with people deprived of liberty.

Humanity has seen the need to be in social isolation as a result of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic. Which results in the implementation of a new style of adaptation in personal, work and educational life. In this regard, the professional training of the architect is also affected by this reality. That is why the main purpose of this article is to describe in a general way paradigms immersed in the architecture career and possible emerging paradigms that can be identified for post-pandemic architect training. It is concluded that this pandemic has caused important changes in educational training, where everyone must adapt to the new reality and its consequences. The paradigms throughout history have changed and continue to be part of the architect's training; however, hybrid education emerges as a new emerging paradigm in a synchronous and asynchronous manner, supported by digital tools that stimulate changes in aspects such as pedagogy, curriculum and quality, accelerating trends that converge at this time and that will emerge later in the post-pandemic others that will transform the future of architecture.

This work addresses the analysis of non-compliance with comprehensive reparation, during the prison execution process. Article 670 of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, establishes a procedure whose eventual non-compliance results in the violation of the prohibition of imprisonment for debts and the principle of progressiveness in terms of penitentiary execution and resocialization, from the perspective of constitutional law and international law. from the human rights. Consequently, a review of restorative justice is carried out, and its analysis from comparative law, in order to propose a novel solution, such as work in kind by the convicted person, that can be applied by the judge of prison guarantees within the context of penitentiary execution, favoring both the victim and the sentenced person, thus avoiding imprisonment for debts, and achieving the operation of the constitutional principle of social reintegration of the sentenced person, in accordance with the Constitution.

Videoconferencing and the use of virtual presence applications have boomed worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restriction, which has been enacted in many countries, has forced educational institutions to adapt their teaching and learning processes to an online modality, increasing the use of videoconferencing applications such as Zoom, Google Meet and MS Teams. Although there are many studies on the effects of COVID-19 on daily life, there is no specific research on the acceptance of a virtual presence. This study examines the acceptance of videoconferencing applications among college students in marketing majors. A theoretical model based on TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) and analyzed using the SEMPLS technique is proposed. The results show that perceived usefulness, rather than ease of use, affects the intention to use videoconferencing applications. 

In Ecuador, in 2008, the Right to Resistance was constitutionalized, which, for several decades, has been considered an exhausted issue, or at least, abandoned for constitutional theory because it is considered as a right of impossible assimilation within the structure of the contemporary states of law based on the primacy of the law and in which the sole validity of the norms are its parameter of validity, regardless of the justice or injustice of the result obtained as a result of its application. Therefore, the initial purpose of this investigative work is to provide, from legal dogmatics, a clear understanding of the nature of the Right to Resistance and to highlight its problems and possible scope within our constitutional state of rights and justice. A second purpose will be to verify that the validity, validity and effectiveness of the right to resistance will only be possible if its content is adapted to the new constitutional paradigm that is championed by the constitutionalism of rights, a task in which the contributions of our legal reality cannot be ignored, political and social.

People with high abilities are subjects with a much higher level of ability than their contemporaries in one or more learning categories, obtaining extraordinary and exceptional results (Pfeiffer, 2017). The need for the present work arises due to the high number of students diagnosed with high abilities in an educational center in Guayaquil. It poses a continuous and complex challenge for the teaching staff, which in some cases do not have education-related degrees, or did not receive preparation in their university curricula to respond to the special educational needs of this population. In response to this need, the present work aims to develop an intervention program that favors the development of cognitive skills and social adaptation of a specific group of students with high abilities from second to fourth grade of primary education in an educational center in the city of Guayaquil. As a result, an intervention has been designed that consists of training the teaching team to implement the strategy of curricular enrichment and identify students with high abilities. The intervention proposal has detailed ten sessions, a pretest-posttest questionnaire, and an identification scale for students with high abilities. The methodology is qualitative, action research design. The achievement of the End of Study Work will be evaluated, and it is expected that this type of intervention will improve the performance of students with high abilities in both the academic and socioemotional areas.
