Approches éthique, esthétique et didactique du théâtre pour la jeunesse : traits saillants et évolutions récentes du répertoire (2005-2021)
Authors: Perzo Laurianne
Published: September 2022

L’enjeu de cette étude est d’explorer certaines caractéristiques du texte de théâtre pour la jeunesse afin de proposer des pistes d’approche pour des œuvres considérées parfois comme difficiles d’accès, tant du point de vue des thèmes abordés que des esthétiques plurielles rencontrées. Sont ainsi appréhendés les contenus thématiques et les modes d’écriture du théâtre pour la jeunesse à partir de l’analyse poétique, dramaturgique et linguistique de certaines évolutions récentes de ce répertoire. En prenant appui sur des textes publiés depuis les années 2005, et en comparaison également avec d’autres textes plus anciens, nous définissons les enjeux, outils et compétences du théâtre pour la jeunesse permettant sa diffusion dans les salles de classe. Nous envisageons pour cela une approche du texte dramatique qui se situe entre lecture littéraire et lecture dramaturgique à partir de textes qui ne répondent pas à une esthétique prévisible. Il s’agit notamment de considérer le traitement de la langue et de la structure dramatique dans ces écritures récentes et les nouvelles constructions d’images et d’imaginaires associées. Dimension esthétique et dimension éthique sont alors analysées ensemble car la lecture ne peut reposer que sur leur dialogue lorsque sensibiliser à l’aspect formel du texte dramatique prend son sens quand la mise en page est conditionnée par le discours véhiculé.

Authors: Crinon Jacques , Bautier Élisabeth , Lavieu-Gwozdz Belinda , Brissaud Catherine
Published: September 2022

Le dispositif Twictée fait collaborer des classes distantes : leurs élèves échangent des dictées et leurs corrections par le réseau Twitter. Le texte de ces dictées est conçu et les séances préparées par leurs enseignants sur une plateforme en ligne entre enseignants. Dans quelle mesure ce dispositif de préparation aide-t-il les enseignants à faire de la dictée un moment d’apprentissage de l’orthographe ? Permet-il une réflexion commune sur les situations d’enseignement de la langue ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous analysons les échanges asynchrones en ligne lors de l’élaboration des textes des dictées, à travers le corpus des documents de préparation d’une année scolaire ainsi que la construction pas à pas de ce texte en analysant notamment les choix qu’opère le réseau d’enseignants au cours de ce travail d’élaboration des textes de dictées. Plusieurs résultats se dégagent concernant la fonction de la dictée (évaluation plutôt qu’apprentissage), la teneur des échanges (pédagogiques plutôt que didactiques), la difficulté rencontrée par les enseignants à prendre en compte la complexité du système linguistique et la temporalité des acquisitions des élèves.
Théâtre et pédagogie du projet
Authors: Petitjean André
Published: September 2022

Avec cet article, il s’agit de relater et d’analyser une expérience qui relève de la pédagogie du projet consacrée au théâtre au niveau du collège. Elle a consisté, avec une classe de quatrième, à mobiliser l’ensemble du cours de français, sur une année, avec l’appui d’autres disciplines et d’intervenants extérieurs, pour parvenir à faire écrire une pièce de théâtre et à la représenter en fin d’année scolaire. Bien que les conditions sociétales de sa réalisation en 1983 aient changé cette expérience garde toute son actualité dans la mesure où elle était annonciatrice des évolutions qu’a connues la discipline à travers ses programmes. Au travers des activités réalisées et des contenus transmis, on montre que les enjeux d’une situation d’enseignement et d’apprentissage ne sont pas seulement cognitifs mais aussi relationnels et éducationnels.
Minimally Equicorrelated MIMO Modelling for NLOS MM Wave Performance Improvement
Authors: Bhattacharyya Sabyasachi , Aruna G.
Published: September 2022

The 5G physical layer has evolved rapidly. With transmissions at 28, 38, and 72 GHz, millimeter (MM) wave communications are at the core of it. Such links provide improved data rates to an increased number of users availing around 20 GHz of free spectrum. Directional arrays in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) setups facilitate beamsteered transmissions. Maximal ratio combining (MRC) receivers aid MM wave signaling and link metrics are analyzed in terms of antenna correlations. The system model is evaluated assuming a short range, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) MM wave user under independently correlated, Rayleigh conditions. This paper showcases analytical closed form expressions for received signal, output signal- to-noise ratio (SNR), line-of-sight (LOS), probability density function (PDF), and NLOS average capacity of the proposed MM wave link. The derivations exhibit capacity alterations with transceiver correlations. MM wave correlation matrices have unique dependency on steering vectors or corresponding transmission angles. This does not apply to millimeter wave.
Androscanreg 2.0

Published: September 2022

In this article, the authors propose a new innovative method based on blockchain technology providing an analysis of Android applications in a decentralized, flexible, and reliable way. The proposed approach improves the typical operation of the blockchain technology that considers invalid (or “fraudulent”) any outcome different from other results found by the majority of network nodes. However, ignoring any result different from the majority without starting additional verification can cause losses in terms of data, time, computing power, or even system reliability and the integrity of its data. The purpose of the presented approach is to confirm or deny the legitimacy of any outcome different from the majority. This new concept will facilitate the detection of polymorphic programs by allowing nodes to adopt specific environments at any time to reduce the rejection of results deemed, wrongly, to be fraudulent. A proof of concept has been designed and implemented showing the feasibility of the proposed approach with a real case study.

Published: September 2022

After-school programmes (ASPs) help to facilitate students' learning. DREAMS ASP facilitates schoolchildren with holistic development interventions at different locations. Due to the pandemic, DREAMS conducted their ASP in the online mode. The present study aims to narrate the case of ASP in the virtual mode and discuss participants' experiences on holistic development at one of its locations. The study employed qualitative study designs. The sample of the study included participants from DREAMS ASP site at Kerala, India. The study interviewed four mentors, seven participants, and their parents to understand participants' holistic development. However, the study excluded physical and spiritual aspects of holistic development. It found that the virtual DREAMS ASP was joyful, and there was a significant, positive change in all the selected dimensions of holistic development as reported by mentors, children, and parents. The study encourages future researchers to provide opportunities and frameworks to conduct more ASPs in India.
Do spouse burden of care, family resilience, and coping affect family function in gynecologic cancer in Korea?: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Kim Minkyung , Ahn Sukhee
Published: September 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate family functioning among spouses of gynecologic cancer patients in Korea. McCubbin and McCubbin’s Family Resilience Model (1993) guided the study focus on burden of care, family resilience, coping, and family functioning.Methods: An online survey collected data from 123 spouses of gynecologic cancer patients through convenience sampling from online communities for gynecologic cancer patients in Korea. Burden of care, family resilience (social support, family hardiness, and family problem-solving communication), coping, and family functioning were measured by self-report.Results: The patients (44.7%) and their spouses (47.2%) were mostly in the 41 to 50-year age group. Stage 1 cancer was 44.7%, and cervical cancer was the most common (37.4%) followed by ovarian cancer (30.9%) and uterine cancer (27.6%) regarding the cancer characteristics of the wife. Family function, burden of care, family resilience, and coping were all at greater than midpoint levels. Family functioning was positively related with social support (r=.44, p<.001), family hardiness (r=.49, p<.001), problem-solving communication (r=.73, p<.001), and coping (r=.56, p<.001). Multiple regression identified significant factors for family functioning (F=25.58, p<.001), with an overall explanatory power of 61.7%. Problem-solving communication (β=.56, p<.001) had the greatest influence on family function of gynecologic cancer families, followed by coping (β=.24, p<. 001) and total treatment period of the wife (β=.17, p=.006).Conclusion: Nurses need to assess levels of family communication and spousal coping to help improve gynecologic cancer patients’ family function, especially for patients in longer treatment.
Development and effects of a webtoon education program on preventive self-management related to premature labor for women of childbearing age: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Kim Sun-Hee
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a webtoon education program on preventive self-management related to premature labor (PSM-PL) for women of childbearing age, to evaluate its effects, and to assess the usability of webtoon education for women of childbearing age.Methods: The study design was a stratified randomized trial with repeated measures. The participants were Korean women of childbearing age (between the ages of 19 and 49 years), with 49 participants each. The preventive health management self-efficacy related to premature labor (PHMSE-PL) scale, the preventive self-management knowledge related to premature labor (PSMK-PL) scale, and usability of webtoon education were assessed. The intervention group read six episodes of the PSM-PL webtoon within 2 days after clicking an online link. The control group did not receive anything but was given the webtoon after the last measurement. To test the effect of the repeatedly measured variables, a generalized estimating equation model was used.Results: The experimental group had statistically significantly greater increases in PHMSE-PL and PSMK-PL scores from baseline to immediately after and 2 weeks later than the control group. The average score for usability of webtoon education was high (4.52; standard deviation, 0.62) on a scale of 1–5.Conclusion: This webtoon education program on PSM-PL was a feasible and acceptable program that increased self-efficacy and knowledge of preventive health management of premature labor in women of childbearing age. Future studies that adopt a webtoon format can be beneficial for childbearing women with other risk factors.
Association of the microbial culture of follicular fluid, vaginal swab and catheter tip with β–hCG IVF positive and negative
Authors: Chellani Manoj , Chellani Manju , Rahangdale Sandeep
Published: September 2022

Objective:

To find out the association of microbial contamination with β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in-vitro fertilization (IVF) positive and negative.

Methods:

A total of 73 fresh IVF cycle women were included in the retrospective study. Vaginal swab culture samples were collected prior to ovum pick-up and embryo transfer. The follicular fluids were collected during ovum pick-up and catheter tip culture samples were collected after successful embryo transfer. After 14 days of the embryo transfer, women were classified into β-hCG IVF positive and negative. The comparative statistical analyses of aerobic microbial culture reports were done between β-hCG IVF positive and negative women.

Results:

Out of 73 women, 42(57.5%) were found to be β-hCG IVF positive and 31(43.5%) were negative. In the aerobic culture of ovum pick-up vaginal swab, follicular fluid, embryo transplantation vaginal swab and catheter tip, Enterococcus faecalis was found to be higher compared to other bacteria (Streptococcus spp., Candida, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella). Regarding the comparison between IVF positive and negative, the overall microbial infection rate of vaginal swab culture during ovum pick-up and embryo transplantation was found to be higher in IVF negative women than in IVF positive women (38.71% vs. 28.57%); however, it was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The follicular fluid and catheter tip culture microbial infection rate was found to slightly higher in IVF positive women than in IVF negative women (54.76% vs. 41.94% and 19.05% vs. 9.68%, respectively), but there were not significant differences (P>0.05).

Conclusions:

The aerobic microbial culture reports of follicular fluid, vaginal swab culture, and catheter tip culture are not statistically significantly with β-hCG IVF positive.
An incidental presentation of Herlyn–Werner-Wunderlich syndrome with secondary infertility
Authors: Adekoya Abiola Omobonike , Akiseku Adeniyi Kazeem , Olatunji Ayodeji Anike , Olusola-Bello Mojisola Adejoke
Published: September 2022

Rationale:

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, also known as obstructed hemi-vagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome, is a rare congenital anomaly of the Müllerian and Wolffian ducts. It is often asymptomatic until puberty and is usually misdiagnosed as infertility.

Patient concerns:

A 39-year-old woman desirous of pregnancy was referred to our radiodiagnosis unit for imaging evaluation on account of secondary infertility.

Diagnosis:

Incidental discovery of uterine bicornis bicollis and blind-ending hemivagina was noted at hysterosalpingography.

Interventions:

This necessitated the search for other genitourinary tract anomalies, and ipsilateral renal agenesis was also discovered.

Outcomes:

A diagnosis of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome was made.

Lessons:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard imaging modality for the assessment of uterine malformations. However, in resource-poor centers where MRI is unavailable, a heightened clinical suspicion with the combination of available imaging modalities is important and reliable in making an accurate diagnosis, hence, successful management.
Comparative evaluation of bending property and torsional resistance of three nickel–titanium files
Authors: Mundhada Neha N , Makade Chetana S , Shenoi Pratima R
Published: September 2022

Aims:

We aimed to investigate the effect of instrument length on the torsional resistance and bending property of three nickel–titanium files, namely ProTaper Gold (PTG), ProTaper Next (PTN), and HyFlex CM (HCM) using finite element analysis.

Materials and Methods:

Three-dimensional models of each aforementioned system were created using the computer-assisted design (CAD) software SolidWorks® 2016 (Dassault Systèmes, SolidWorks Corp., Concord, MA, U. S.). Then, all models were imported to the ANSYS® Workbench 16 (Canonsburg, PA, U. S.) where the simulation was computed. The boundary conditions used to simulate the behavior of the endodontic instruments were in compliance with the ISO 3630 1 specification standards.

Results:

It was observed that in bending test, HCM model exhibited load of 510.35 MPa with displacement of 6.05 mm, followed by PTG model (465.48 MPa) and 11.21 mm displacement, then PTN file model (440.74 MPa) and 10.30 mm displacement, whereas in torsional test the rigidity curve for HCM file (1.9673 N mm/Radian) lies much below PTG (6.4615 N mm/Radian) which clearly shows that HCM is flexible as compared to PTG and PTN.

Conclusion:

Considering the high flexibility of the HCM file, it can be effectively used in severely curved root canals and PTG and PTN files in moderately curved root canals. It was also recommended that HCM files should not be kept in canals for a longer time because stresses might reach to ultimate level quickly which can cause fracture.

Authors: Gunasheela Devika , Ashwini Mahesh , Appaneravanda Lohith Chengappa , Nayak Hita
Published: September 2022

Background:

The association between cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and oocyte aspiration in the context of maternal age is not well understood in the Indian population.

Aims:

To find the relationship between CLBR and a single oocyte aspiration.

Settings and Design:

This is a retrospective study analysing the data of 1989 women who underwent in vitro fertilisation (IVF) between January 2015 and December 2019, at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital, India.

Materials and Methods:

Participants were divided into two groups based on age: ≤35 (group I, n = 1665) and >35 (Group II, n = 324). CLBR per single oocyte aspiration in fresh and subsequent three frozen embryo transfer cycles was estimated.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Logistic regression analysis was used to show the likelihood of pregnancy rate, and CLBR per aspiration after treatment was represented as odd's ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals.

Results:

Maximal CLBR for Groups I and II was 81.25% with >25 oocytes and 75% with 16–20 oocytes, respectively. In the fresh ET cycle, maximal pregnancy and live birth rates were observed in 6–10 oocytes for Group I (54% and 41%) and in 16–20 oocytes for Group II (75% and 75%). The ORs for pregnancy rate (P = 0.01) and CLBR (P = 0.007) increased with an increase in the number of oocytes retrieved. The ORs for pregnancy rate and CLBR for Group II were 0.68 (P = 0.002) and 0.58 (P = 0.00002), respectively as compared to Group I. Optimal oocytes required to achieve positive IVF outcomes in fresh/frozen ET cycles were low in Group I (6–10 oocytes), but higher in Group II (16–20 oocytes).

Conclusion:

Robust positive relationship was observed between the number of oocytes retrieved and CLBR in women of both age groups.
Laparoscopic Management of Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy
Authors: Kalampokas Emmanouil , Giannis Georgios , Kalampokas Theodoros , Vlahos Nikolaos
Published: September 2022

Interstitial and cornual pregnancies are dangerous, yet rare, forms of ectopic pregnancy, accounting for 2%–4% of all ectopic pregnancies. A 38-year-old female, para 1, gravida 3 had undergone another in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle (a salpingectomy performed elsewhere for treating a hydrosalpinx before a previous IVF attempt). Duration of pregnancy is 6 weeks and 5 days, a transvaginal ultrasound revealed an embryo with a positive foetal heartbeat, located in the left cornuum. As no conservative treatment option could be followed, we proceeded with laparoscopic removal of ectopic pregnancy through cornual resection. Since a specific surgical methodology has not yet been established, presenting more step-by-step surgical approaches that can be used in clinical practice is of high importance. We present a step-by-step surgical approach that we have implemented in cases of cornual pregnancy in our department.

Authors: Reddy Nallamilli Sujatha , Parimala Chinta , Karuppusami Reka , Mangalraj Ann Margret , Kunjummen Aleyamma Thaiparambil
Published: September 2022

Background:

The duration of cryopreservation of embryos and its effect on the subsequent pregnancy outcomes, when they have been frozen for a longer duration remains a matter of concern. There is a continuous debate among studies comparing different durations of embryo cryopreservation as the results are contradictory.

Aims:

This study aims to find out if long-term cryopreservation of embryos has any effect on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.

Settings and Design

:Retrospective cohort study was conducted in the department of reproductive medicine and surgery in a university-level teaching hospital.

Materials and Methods:

The study included women who underwent frozen embryo transfer (FET) from autologous in vitro fertilisation between January 2012 and December 2020 with the duration of cryopreservation of more than 5 years as one group and 3–5 years as another group. Pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were analysed.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Regression analysis was performed using logistic regression by entering clinically important variables associated with pregnancy outcome, and the results were expressed as odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI). All statistical analysis was performed with SPSS (version 21.0, IBM, USA).

Results:

A total of 1680 FET cycles were carried out during the study period. Among these, 75 cycles with a duration of 3–5 years and 20 cycles with a duration of more than 5 years were included. Live birth rate (LBR) was 40.8% in the 3–5 years group and 35% in the more than 5 years group. After adjusting for important confounders, the LBR has no significant association in the more than 5 years group (adjusted odds ratio 1.07; 95% CI 0.34–3.32; P = 0.913) compared to the 3–5 years group.

Conclusion:

The duration of cryopreservation of embryos has no statistically significant effect on the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.
Ayurveda treatment for granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Authors: Bhatted Santosh K. , Kabra Diksha N.
Published: September 2022

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) was formerly known as Wegener’s granulomatosis. As its name implies, the disease is associated with a necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with vasculitis of small and medium blood vessels induced by antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Here, we present a case of a 42-year-old woman with severe arthralgia associated with fever and obstructive uropathy. Blood investigations revealed a high level of C-ANCA, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and reduced hemoglobin level. She had a history of rheumatic heart disease in the childhood. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic oral drugs for 3 months. After 1 month of follow-up period, the patient showed a significant improvement in presenting symptoms as well as laboratory investigations. There was a significant reduction in swelling and tenderness over both ankle joints. Presently, the patient is stable with Ayurvedic medications. The case study shows a ray of hope toward the management of GPA with holistic Ayurveda medications with satisfactory outcome and contentment of the patient. However, more studies should be observed for definite conclusion.
Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use among Nursing Home Residents: Medication Errors Associated with Pro re nata Medications and the Importance of Pill Burden
Authors: Koçak Fatma Özge Kayhan , Taşkıran Emin , Öztürk Zehra Kosuva , Şahin Sevnaz
Published: September 2022

Background: The use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) has become more common among nursing home residents (NHR). This study focused on drugs initially prescribed as pro re nata (PRN) medications and pill burden in association with PIM among NHR. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted between March and April 2019 on 225 adult NHR aged ≥60 years. Results: The prevalence of PIM was 47.6% among NHR according to the Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions (STOPP) criteria version 2. The most frequent PIM was the use of any drug prescribed without evidence-based clinical indication; most medication errors were associated with PRN medications. The prevalence rates of PRN in non-PIM and PIM users were 12% and 62.4%, respectively. PRN medications that most commonly caused PIM were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and proton pump inhibitors. The cut-off value for both medications and pills to correctly identify participants with PIM was 5.5. Pill burden had a similar sensitivity to polypharmacy in identifying individuals with PIM.Conclusion: Medication errors associated with PRN medications were overlooked as factors that increased the risk of PIMs. The most common error related to PRN medications was the continued daily use despite symptom resolution.

Authors: Drewniak Łukasz , Drewniak Sabina
Published: September 2022

Derivatives of graphene have become important materials due to their excellent properties. Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide are especially interesting because they are produced relatively easily, cheaply and quickly. Among many possible applications, reduced graphene oxide is a good candidate for sensor applications. Its properties can be controlled at the production stage. The precursor used and the method of oxidation have a significant influence on its properties. Therefore, it is worth take a closer look at them. In this paper we analyse the influence of the oxidation method on the size of the reduced graphene stock which determine the sensitivity of the rGO layer. We used AFM microscopy for this purpose.

Medicinal plants used during the plague described in the Herbarium of Simon Syrenius (1613)

Before the effective methods of treatment and prevention of plague infections and all other infectious diseases were known, attempts were made to treat them with natural means. The effective in the treatment of blight, among others were considered the following plants: angelica (Angelica archangelica), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), pimpinella, (Pimpinella sp.) common tormentil plant (Potentilla erecta), and also onion and garlic. Knowledge about medicinal plants was gathered in herbaria. The largest Polish Renaissance herbarium was the Zielnik by Szymon Syreniusz, published in Krakow in 1613. This work describes over 800 plants, only some of them were used against the plague.

The aim of the work is to investigate which medicinal plants were indicated by Syreniusz as effective means in combating the pestilential air, what properties were assigned to them and how they were be used.
Zbrodnie Niemców na Polakach w pierwszych miesiącach II wojny światowej 1939/1940

Published: September 2022

German crimes committed against the Polish people during the first months of the Second World War 1939/1940

The aim of the article is to show the scale and extent of the extermination of Polish society, which was a component of the national policy of the Third Reich in the first months of the Second World War. It is a quantitative presentation of the phenomenon of a crime which included arrests, interrogations, the use of physical and mental coercion, shootings and executions. The extermination activities against the Polish nation continued throughout the entire period of the war. The Terror of the Third Reich covered the areas of Gdańsk Pomerania, Greater Poland, Upper Silesia, and central Poland. As part of the policy of exterminating the Polish nation, at the beginning of the war, the Third Reich began the so-called “Action Intelligentsia”(Intelligenzaktion) and AB (Ausserordentliche Befriedungsaktion) which was formally named Extraordinary Pacification Action. In the occupied areas, various German formations (Selbstschutz, Einsatzgruppen SS) committed mass, planned crimes against the Polish elite, intelligentsia, teachers, clergy, local government officials and state officials.
Opinion in the Mass Print Media of Albania
Authors: Bajrami Lumnije
Published: September 2022

In the print media in Albania, opinions are a very controversial part of the way public discourse is created. Positioned in the capital of Albania, they often circulate the same information. Important in this genre of information are: comments, analysis and opinions in editorial form, and headlines. It seems that the most important information is served on a golden plate for the public that is being overloaded and bombarded by other media such as television, radio, or online media. Mass communication here unfolds in a wider range, that, apparently informative, turns into a game with gates between political camps. Opinionism openly announces its strategies from one medium to another where more than the public benefits those who make these opinions, i.e. journalists, politicians or explicitly linked exponents for the purposes of political communication. On the other hand, we see a lot of spectacle in the form of entertainment and so far the information stagnates. Necessary information for citizens is missing. This paper tends to theoretically analyze the genre issues of opinion in the print media.

La presente investigación se generó en función de un problema evidente, tal como lo es “la eliminación de los subsidios y posterior alza de los costos a los combustibles líquidos, perjudicando el buen vivir de los moradores del cantón La Libertad. Para ello, se hace una investigación metodológica en función de las variables encontradas. Con el objetivo de establecer teorías o estudios similares que ayuden de forma fructífera al desarrollo del artículo. Por lo tanto, mencionada investigación es de tipo exploratoria, descriptiva y correlacional. Además, se ha aplicado un modelo de muestreo sistemático, ya que es un modelo muy simple de aplicar en la práctica y no necesita disponer de un marco de encuesta elaborado; este modelo nos permite trabajar con no más de 5 variables de investigación. La investigación partió de una población finita de 802 personas, de las cuales se escogió una muestra de 80 sujetos a investigar. Al implementar mencionada metodología y el instrumento de medición se obtuvieron los resultados necesarios para darle peso a la investigación, tal como la afirmación de que el no subsidio a los combustibles líquidos perjudica el buen vivir de los moradores del cantón La Libertad. Pero, algo muy importante que se destacó de esta investigación es que los moradores no se oponen al no subsidio de los combustibles, más bien argumentan que estos deben estar bien focalizados a las áreas o industrias estratégicas para que así, sean beneficiosos tanto para el estado ecuatoriano, como para población de determinado cantón.

La gestión de proyectos se considera como la base para llegar a buen término en la obtención del producto propuesto en el proyecto, existen herramientas de software que apoyan a esta gestión, la selección de la herramienta adecuada no es tarea fácil y debe responder a las necesidades propias de la institución. En las instituciones educativas es fundamental buscar este apoyo ya que toda la gestión del quehacer académico se fundamenta en proyectos. En esta investigación se proponen criterios para seleccionar las herramientas idóneas en la gestión de proyectos en una unidad académica de tecnología en donde sus proyectos generalmente se orientan al desarrollo de software. Se usa como base la metodología GQM (objetivo-pregunta-métrica) para alinear los criterios a través de 25 métricas de valoración. Las métricas fueron aplicadas en tres herramientas ágiles de gestión de proyectos, todas en versión prueba. Los resultados han revelado las debilidades y fortalezas de cada herramienta; sin llegar a determinar una herramienta que satisfaga completamente las necesidades. En la fase de planeación se destaca Trello, en las fases de Ejecución, Monitoreo y Control se destaca Asana; aunque en la última con una mínima diferencia. La evaluación ha permitido la validación de la generalidad, coherencia y utilidad de la propuesta.
