As of the confinement derived by COVID19, the training processes of the schools migrated from the face-to-face modality to remote work, which allowed students to adapt to a new learning environment together with the technological implications to continue with their learning. Therefore, there is a need to inquire about adaptation from the pedagogical and technological aspects. In this sense, the objective of this article was to analyze the appreciations of undergraduate students about remote work. The method was of a mixed type, for which a 20-item questionnaire was applied with a five-level Likert scale with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.88; For the qualitative part, a semi-structured interview was conducted. According to the results obtained, the students indicate that remote work was adequate despite the limitations in terms of hardware and Internet connection. On the other hand, the didactics applied online were favorable for the students in the development of the course. In another tenor, in the voice of the participants they indicate that in order to carry out the practices, face-to-face work in the laboratories of the faculty is necessary.

This research analyzes the competitive capacity of human talent in the current business context, through the application of organizational and labor competency models in the areas of human management. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out in the bibliographic databases Scopus and Web of Science, in the period 2002-2022, using the PRISMA methodology for the search refinement process. The analysis includes those studies that identify the incorporation of models for the formation of corporate, technical and technological competencies; innovation, achievement orientation, organizational learning, leadership, social responsibility and systemic integration between the operational and strategic. Among the conclusions, it is highlighted that the competitiveness of organizations is enhanced when they integrate innovation in personnel qualification processes, the creation of new ways of working and the updating of organizational management styles.

Addressing inclusive education in higher education is a priority that goes beyond university access. The present study aimed to validate the index questionnaire for inclusion in higher education that assesses inclusive policies, cultures and practices. For this purpose, the instrument was applied to a stratified probability sample of 155 professors and 354 students at the University of Cuenca, Ecuador. The structural equation model allowed performing a confirmatory factor analysis with the Maximum Likelihood and Unweighted Least Squares method. The analysis was performed in AMOS 21 software. The model of the scale that assesses inclusive policies, cultures and practices in the university context was validated; the model showed an adequate fit for the absolute indexes (CMIN, GFI, RMSEA and RMR), incremental indexes (TLI, NFI and CFI) and parsimony indexes (CMIN/DF and AIC). A factorial invariance analysis was performed whose adjustments reported adequate values for all the established restrictions. The difference in the CFI incremental index of the models with restrictions with respect to the model without restrictions shows a value of less than 0.01. Consequently, the questionnaire constitutes a valid tool for evaluating how inclusive education has been managed in the university context. In the same way, the use of all items is recommended, indistinctly, for university students and teachers.

The objective of the study was to validate and implement a workshop to promote emotional regulation in parents of adolescents in times of crisis, through a psychoeducational intervention in synchronous (video call - Meet) and asynchronous modality (Classroom and Moodle). 105 parents of adolescents participated, 44 complied with the inclusion criteria for the analysis of results. The didactic sequence composed of four sessions were validated by 6 expert judges with Castillo-Calero’s instrument (2013). An adaptation of the DERS and cases (Velasco et al., 2019). To determine the difference of groups between modalities and as well as before and after the workshop a Wilcoxon T test was applied whose result was not significant neither modality. It was decided to make an analysis regarding the scores, high, media and low, forming three groups. The first reports statistically significant differences (T=.012), demonstrating greater number of emotional regulation strategies, while the other two groups did not report significant differences in the global scale. Likewise, the vignettes of Group 1 (high) cases were analyzed in the parents' speech, changes were observed, as well as an increase in emotional vocabulary. The importance of an instructional design is confirmed to build virtual educational proposals and expand the studies that are carried out with caregivers, tutors, or parents.

The objective of the research was to deepen the research by exploring the trend of circular economy specifically in the area of management, business and economics. The methodology used is descriptive, a bibliometric review of scientific articles on circular economy (613 articles), published in journals indexed in the Web of Science, the selected period was from 2009 to 2023. The production increased notably from 2019 with 80 articles. Co-occurrence maps of words, titles and abstracts of the circular economy were made. As main conclusions we have the countries with the highest collaboration such as: China, United Kingdom, United States and India. The circular economy is relevant and significant worldwide among different nations, organizations, legislators, academic institutions, academics, researchers and companies, it is considered a solution to the ecological and socioeconomic challenges resulting from the growing consumption of non-renewable resources, the generation of solid and electronic waste, pollution (soil, water and atmosphere), as well as the scarcity of resources. It opens a window to research related to the area of management, business and economics.

The present study was carried out with the purpose of determining the degree of relationship between organizational climate and work performance in a Caja Municipal, under the following methodological consideration, quantitative approach, basic type, correlational level and non-experimental transversal correlational design. Likewise, the hypothetical deductive method was used, where a hypothesis was specified to be contrasted through statistical analysis and to determine whether it should be accepted or rejected. Regarding the population and sample, 30 collaborators, chosen through non-probabilistic sampling, participated in the study. The technique and its instrument for data collection was the survey and the questionnaire. The data processing was performed within the non-parametric analysis, where it was obtained that the organizational climate has a moderate positive relationship with work performance. Therefore, it was concluded that the management and promotion of the work environment through the implementation of the organizational structure according to the needs of each area, the interpersonal relationships, as well as the organizational standards or norms that govern the operation of the entity promotes the use of labor capacity for an effective development in the achievement of objectives.  

The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of design and execution of strategic, tactical and operational marketing in micro and small food and beverage companies located in the province of Pichincha. The research considered was based on a quantitative study with a descriptive and transversal design where information was collected from 195 food and beverage establishments through a survey where three fundamental dimensions were considered: strategic marketing planning, tactical marketing planning and operational marketing planning. The results indicate that there are activities that correspond to operational and tactical planning that are carried out occasionally, rarely or never, which can affect the fulfillment of marketing objectives, with "budget definition" being the criterion that is least taken into consideration in a marketing plan. In conclusion, it is important for the development of a marketing plan to take into account the analysis, action and execution of the paradigmatic model for the development of marketing planning, taking into account the strategic, tactical and operational planning approach.

The current teaching-learning process requires the application of innovative methodologies that are in line with modern educational models, therefore, this paper shows the results of the application of digital teaching resources, through a methodology that enhances academic performance. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the application of a methodology based on digital didactic resources to enhance academic performance in students of Higher Basic Education. The methodology was based on a quantitative experimental approach, where a quasi-experimental design was developed. The selected population was 98 students of the sub-level of Higher Basic Education, of the Vicente Amador Flor Private School, in the canton of Portoviejo. A representative sample of 78 students was obtained through the formula for the calculation of finite samples. The data collection technique was a survey, and inferential statistics tests were applied to process the data. Among the main results, the experimental groups had a medium level of academic performance in the pre-test, while in the post-test measurement, their mean reached a high level of academic performance. In conclusion, the application of a methodology based on digital didactic resources was able to enhance the academic performance of the experimental groups, due to the novelty it generated in learning.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el comportamiento de la recaudación tributaria en ecuador del año 2019 al 2021. La importancia de realizar este análisis se basa en que los impuestos recaudados por el Estado pueden ser luego usados en gasto público, lo cual beneficia a la ciudadanía. No obstante, al existir un shock externo, como el COVID-19, la recaudación de impuestos puede variar drásticamente, afectando finalmente el bienestar social. La investigación realizada es de carácter descriptivo, para lo cual se obtuvieron datos del Servicio de Rentas Internas del Ecuador. Adicionalmente, se realizó un contexto del tema con información bibliográfica previa. Esta investigación trata de comprender el comportamiento económico de Ecuador durante la emergencia sanitaria. Asimismo, se evidencian las acciones del Estado ante la crisis y como este logró combatir el déficit económico que surgió a raíz de la pandemia.  Los resultados del análisis muestran el impacto poco reversible que tuvo la COVID-19 en los principales sectores económicos del país. Este artículo pone en evidencia el impacto que pueden tener este tipo de shock externos, y así mismo sirve como insumo para los hacedores de políticas

El presente articulo tiene por objetivo estudiar la relación entre las exportaciones de materias primas de oro y cobre (D1EXP) y la balanza de pagos en el Perú (BP) en el periodo 2012 – 2022. Usando los datos trimestrales que se obtuvieron del Instituto Nacional de Estadística del Perú (INEI) y del Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP) se estima un Modelo de Vectores Autorregresivos (VAR). Por lo cual, basándose en dicho modelo se utilizó las pruebas de Raíz Unitaria de Dickey Fuller Aumentada, Cointegración de Johansen y Causalidad de Granger. Los resultados sugieren lo siguiente: (I) Las exportaciones de materias primas de oro y cobre mantuvieron una relación de equilibrio en el largo plazo con la Balanza de Pagos, es decir, están cointegradas. (II) Existe una relación de causalidad bidireccional entre las exportaciones de materias primas y la Balanza de Pagos. (III)  Mediante la función de impulso respuesta se observa que para el tercer trimestre del 2023 las exportaciones se reducirán y luego se incrementan nuevamente para el próximo trimestre. Este comportamiento continúa en los próximos trimestres del 2024.
