The preventive maintenance of the vehicle allows to extend the maximum time of operation of the engine parts. However, by not performing constant maintenance, failures occur in the operation of the system, the fuel stops supplying partially or totally, which causes the vehicle's engine to not turn on or turn off during operation. In the same way, failures cause a decrease in power, excessive fuel consumption that alter the internal elements and a decrease in the lubricating capacity of the engine oil. That is why the investigative work has the objective of carrying out preventive maintenance based on the schedule established for the power system of the Chevrolet Grand Vitara SZ V6 vehicle of the "Carlos Cisneros" Higher Technological Institute. In addition, road tests were carried out at the end of the maintenance, where the reliability of the fuel supply system and the proper functioning of the vehicle were verified.

Payment methods are a way to facilitate the consumer in the payment process in relation to the acquisition of a good, product or service. For this reason, this research analyzed the different means of payment and the way in which they influence the behavior of consumers once a purchase is completed. The automotive sector in Ecuador was taken into account as they are durable goods and their relationship with the main forms of payment. The applied methodology was quantitative approach and correlational scope, through a statistical model of factorial analysis. The results denoted a high factorial load in the coupling and the justified effort, which indicate a greater incidence in the behavior of consumers depending on the payment method and the achievement of having obtained said good. It was concluded that the payment method directly influenced consumer behavior, since the shopping experience is a primary factor that is evaluated based on past experiences and post-purchase satisfaction is a behavior that derives from the payment method.

University students, with the arrival of the Covid 19 pandemic, have had to assume different study modalities, which without having the appropriate conditions become factors that generate stress. The objective of this work was to measure burnout (syndrome of being burned out) and its engagement (commitment or way of facing burnout or stressful situations) in students of a university in Ecuador. The sample was 412 students. To measure burnout, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire was applied, responding to a Likert scale from 0 never implied to 6 always, evaluating its three dimensions (Academic Self-efficacy, Emotional Exhaustion and Cynicism) as low, medium, and high. To assess engagement, the Academic Engagement Questionnaire (UWES-S) was used, with three dimensions (vigor, dedication, and absorption) using the same rating scale as burnout. The study begins with the characterization of the students, considering, on the one hand, the sociodemographic variables: gender, age, work, children, area in which they live and marital status and, on the other, the assessment of the study conditions. The chi square test was used to search for relationships between the sociodemographic and study variables, concluding that gender affects absorption engagement (8.238 chi square, p 0.016) and predominant engagement (9.724 chi square, p 0.008); however, age had a direct impact on academic self-efficacy (chi square 9,633, p 0.047). The analyzes of the rest of the sociodemographic variables and study conditions did not show statistically significant differences. The study allows us to conclude that women present higher levels of absorption and predominant engagement in relation to men, and that younger students between 18 and 23 years of age are the ones with the lowest academic self-efficacy.

The aim of this study, that has been investigated, was specify how collaborative learning transcended the development of basic math skills of the students of the first cycle of the professional school of Administration and Systems of “Universidad Peruana Los Andes” university of the city of Huancayo region Junín, of the 2018 semester – I. The methodology was quasi-experimental- applicative. The sample is equivalent to 88 students divided into two groups proportionally for the control group and the experimental group, in each section there were 44 students, section A1 was considered as the control group and section A4 as the experimental group. Collaborative learning was used in the experimental grouping; the field work was carried out with an evaluation applying the pretest and a posttest. The control group worked with the traditional methodology and in the same way applying a pre-test and then and a post-test. About results, it was determined that collaborative learning significantly influences the development of skills in basic mathematics, as well as in each of its dimensions: propositional logic, the real number system, equations and inequalities and relationships and functions. 

The objective of the research was to determine the organizational competencies of the poultry MSMEs in the cantons of Jipijapa, 24 de Mayo and Santa Ana. The types of research with which we worked were: field, bibliographic and descriptive research, which were oriented in a mixed quali-quantitative approach and the inductive, deductive and Delphi method was developed; In this process, techniques such as the interview, survey and cluster analysis were applied, the first two to collect information and the last to perform the cluster sampling. Twenty-two poultry were characterized through a semi-structured interview with the managers or managers, from which the necessary information was extracted to initiate the investigation; then homogeneous groups were determined through cluster analysis and the sample was calculated. Next, the procedure for the identification of organizational competencies was applied, which consisted in creating the group of experts through the Delphi method, and with their judgment, these competencies were determined, which were subjected to evaluation and determined the gap, which led to an organizational skills manual and a proposal for improvement actions. One of the outstanding points is that 68.18% of the poultry companies lack strategic analysis and that men occupy 100% of the managerial positions; Regarding the identification of organizational competencies, the result was that 10 competencies were identified in the Joao Farm and nine competences in the Garzón Avícola. Key words: Action plan, MIPYMES, human talent, organizational competencies.
