The general objective of the work was to evaluate, in a reflexive way, how scientific activities can develop cognitive, attitudinal and procedural skills in students and university teachers in the agro-industrial field. These capabilities not only strengthen meaningful learning, but also generate professionals capable of producing knowledge adapted to the specific needs of the sector. In methodological terms, a biblio-hemerographic review was carried out within the framework of the documentary research technique. We also used the technique of open interviews with two professors and a graduate student from a renowned university institution in Ecuador. It is concluded that, in a prospective vision, the scientific research capabilities of agroindustrial engineering students can become powerful instruments of social and economic transformation. Consequently, as these professionals develop more sophisticated research skills, they will be able to lead innovation processes that optimize the agroindustrial value chain, gradually improve national food security and promote sustainable practices in general.

Soft skills represent a group of personal attributes and competencies that promote inter-subjective interaction, effective communication and the management of emotions in the work and personal environment. The general objective of the research consisted of interpreting the development of soft skills in university education in the digital era. The methodology used was analogical hermeneutics, which facilitated cultural understanding and promotes intertextual dialogue and critical thinking as knowledge experiences. It is concluded that the ethical implications of this research point to the need for the development of a lucid conscience in the university community, promoting in each learning space, a critical reflection on the values that underpin digital educational practices, which has an impact on the type of professionals that are formed for a world that, paradoxically, demands profoundly human qualities in increasingly technological environments.

This document analyzes the interaction of internal and external factors that determine the competitiveness of export-oriented companies in Colombia. Through a diagnosis, the opportunities and threats faced by the floriculture sector are identified and strategies are proposed to improve its competitiveness and export capacity. The importance of the study derives from the economic, social and environmental impact of the sector, as well as from the growth of flower exports in this country. From the problem statement, it is determined how the determinants of the competitiveness of flower companies with exporting projection in Colombia interact. The research addresses theoretical and conceptual elements related to the export process and competitiveness. The methodology used corresponds to a quantitative, cross-sectional and relational research. The variables of analysis include internal factors, external factors, requirements and benefits of exporting as determinants of competitiveness. For the collection of information, a previously validated instrument was used, with questions directed to flower producers and exporters. As a result, a deeper understanding of the competitiveness of flower companies in Colombia is obtained; in addition, strategies are defined to increase their export potential, promote integration and provide elements to consolidate them in new international markets.

The objective of this research is to analyze the volatility of cocoa prices in Colombia for the period from July 2013 to December 2023. The methodology used is the technique of time series intervention analysis, which allows identifying two characteristics, the first, the period of onset of external events and the second, the general form of the impact of such interventions. These models also make it possible to pinpoint the impact of outliers in a time series. This study made a forecast of cocoa prices based on the Agronet database, estimating that cocoa prices tend to increase in the domestic market during the first months and third quarter of each year; these results can be very useful for decision making by actors in the cocoa value chain in Colombia, especially for producers in the first link of the chain.  The results identified that the crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus, various government programs and regulatory changes in demanding countries have had an impact on the evolution of cocoa prices in Colombia, which makes it necessary to carry out constant monitoring and short-term forecasts to soften the effects.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo destacar los aportes de la propuesta de plan museológico para el Museo de Artes y Tradiciones Populares «Luis Repetto Málaga» (MATP), y reflexionar sobre su potencial rol como espacio referente de las artes populares en el Perú. El punto clave fue la formulación conceptual: una visión, misión y valores que definen su identidad. De ese modo, se elaboraron programas que plantean respuestas a las problemáticas encontradas en el diagnóstico. Esta propuesta es el primer paso hacia su transformación como espacio dinámico y atractivo para sus públicos, así como para su revalorización en el panorama cultural.Palabras clave: plan museológico, Museo de Artes y Tradiciones Populares «Luis Repetto Málaga», arte popular AbstractThis article seeks to highlight the contributions of the museum master plan proposal for the Luis Repetto Málaga Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions and reflect on its potential role as a model venue for popular arts in Peru.

El artículo examina las distintas modalidades de fotografía post mortem infantil que existieron en el Perú durante el siglo XIX, destacando el caso del angelito, modalidad que proviene del ritual del angelito, un velorio del catolicismo popular que se practicó en varios países iberoamericanos. Tras el análisis iconográfico, se concluye que la modalidad angelito no satisface los requisitos de las formas cosmopolitas, por lo tanto, debe ser reconocida como una modalidad propia. Palabras clave: fotografía, post mortem, angelito, infantil. AbstractThis article examines different modes of postmortem photography of children that existed in Peru during the 19th century, highlighting the case of the angelito (little angel), a modality that is derived from the angelito ritual, a particular wake that belongs to the popular Catholicism that existed in various Ibero-American countries. After the iconographic analysis, the results show that the angelito mode does not satisfy the requirements of the other cosmopolitan forms, therefore, it should be recognized as a proper modality in itself. Keywords: photography, postmortem, angelito, children.

Higher education in Ecuador has undergone significant transformations over the past three decades, within a context shaped by regulatory changes, social demands, expanded access, and technological advancement. This qualitative study is based on the analysis of official documents, academic literature, and interviews with key actors in the educational system. The findings reveal notable progress in terms of access, faculty professionalization, institutional evaluation, and scientific production. However, structural challenges remain, such as the disconnect between academic offerings and labor market needs, the commodification of graduate education, limited university-society engagement, and technological gaps. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed these inequalities and accelerated the digitalization of teaching, fostering new pedagogical methods and hybrid learning models. Regionally, Ecuador shares similarities with other Latin American countries in their efforts to democratize access, though it faces common challenges in quality, relevance, and equity. The study concludes that it is essential to consolidate an inclusive, flexible, and ethical educational model that reinforces the critical role of the university and contributes to sustainable development, social transformation, and the training of citizens capable of addressing the challenges of the twenty-first century.
