Published: September 2024

La salud de los trabajadores en las carpinterías de la Ciudadela de Juan Atalaya en Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, enfrenta desafíos debido a la calidad del aire. Este estudio, de carácter transversal, exploratorio y cualitativo, analiza diversas variables relacionadas con la salud en este sector. A través de entrevistas y revisión bibliográfica, se identificaron obstáculos que dificultan las mejoras en los entornos laborales, con el propósito de prevenir enfermedades respiratorias. Factores como variables sociales, culturales y económicas generan riesgos para la salud de los trabajadores. Se han identificado limitaciones como la incidencia de diferentes tipos de maderas, la falta de condiciones adecuadas en los talleres, la carencia de capacitación en factores de riesgo, el uso insuficiente de herramientas y equipos de protección personal, así como la ausencia de sistemas de ventilación y extracción. Los resultados indican que la población experimenta síntomas respiratorios, como tos, resfriado común, dificultad para respirar y congestión nasal, vinculados a una elevada exposición al polvo de madera. Además, se observa la falta de uso de elementos de protección personal por parte de los trabajadores durante los distintos procesos, y la ausencia de controles para la fuente, el entorno y el trabajador. En resumen, a pesar de las normativas nacionales de seguridad y salud en el trabajo, la salud respiratoria de los trabajadores no mejorará de manera significativa mientras persistan limitaciones económicas, educativas y culturales.

The use of technology and technological tools have allowed endless advantages within society in different areas such as health, politics, environment, education, among others. Technology evolves as time goes by and in the educational field it is no exception, significant help has been observed in this area, specifically in the learning of new languages, in this case, the English language since there is a diversity of technological tools that facilitate and encourage students to maintain interest within the aforementioned area and thus be able to increase their knowledge in a more interactive way. The main objective of this research was to identify students' perceptions of the use of technology for learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The institutions that were part of this research were the Technical University of Cotopaxi (UTC) and the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE), the first being a public university and the other a private institution. In this research, the differences and possible similarities that these two institutions have with respect to the use and application of technology were highlighted. For this research, a survey with a Likert scale was applied to 60 students from each university to learn more about the differences that each one has and thus they were analyzed thoroughly in order to obtain optimal results on the effectiveness of the use of technology in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in each of the institutions mentioned above. In conclusion, it is highlighted that technology is a very important study tool today due to the advances it has made, allowing and opening the way to a wide range of resources that students of a foreign language can access. It is also mentioned that education in both universities is not so different, so a student from a public institution can obtain the same study results as a student from a private institution as long as they have access to the necessary resources for learning. In conclusion, it must be taken into account that the preparation of both the teacher and the student for the correct use of technology in the classroom is extremely important, so each of them must be trained and prepared for the proper use of technology and technological tools provided in each higher institution.

Published: September 2024

Reading is essential for the cognitive, social and emotional development of Mexican children. It should be promoted by the family from an early age to stimulate interest and understanding of the meaning of the text. Reading involves not only decoding graphic signs, but also understanding and interpreting what is read, using various strategies that activate prior knowledge and relate it to the context. The New Mexican School (NEM) considers reading comprehension as a challenge to develop critical and reflective thinking in students. Teachers must generate teaching strategies that recognize reading comprehension as a tool to promote the development of critical, analytical and reflective thinking, and a participatory attitude in students, which transcends social transformation and the responsible exercise of citizenship.

Published: September 2024

The filing of the extraordinary appeal for criminal cassation, in Ecuador, based on the violation of the law in a sentence, means that the appellant must take into account any of the three components established in the law. However, when focusing on the ‘expressly contravening’ component, a diaspora of criteria arises to conceptualize or define it, coming from the legislator, doctrine, jurisprudence and comparative law, which makes it very difficult to decide when, in fact, the user of justice, is before the stated component. Then, with the application of the qualitative approach and following the theoretical legal, historical-logical, exegetical-analytical and comparative legal methods, the general objective is formulated: ‘Critically review the bases that lead to the legal formulation of article 656 of the Code Comprehensive Criminal Organic Law on the origin of the Cassation Appeal, specifically, regarding the first component of the violation of the law as “expressly contravening its text”, confronted with the principle of exhaustiveness and the jurisprudential line drawn by the National Court of Justice of the Ecuador, which, by stating that “… contravening the law is the same as its lack of application”. Arriving at the conclusion that, strictly speaking, the “express contravention” component is poorly formulated.

Published: September 2024

In Ecuador, once, as a result of a due criminal process, a person is found responsible for a criminal act, the penalty of deprivation of liberty is generally imposed, which involves the Ecuadorian penitentiary system. In this, respect for procedural speed, as a constitutional and legally conceived principle, plays a transcendental role. This is because the effectiveness of these processes and the fulfillment of the purposes of the sentence depend on it. Therefore, motivating this research, this topic is proposed as a general objective: Identify the impact caused by the legal process to grant prison benefits, which includes the certification of the commission with respect to the evaluation of people deprived of liberty to obtain benefits such as pardons, repatriations and semi-open and open regimes, granted by the Comprehensive Care Service for Adult Persons Deprived of Liberty and Adolescent Offenders (SNAI). To this end, a qualitative methodological approach is applied, with scientific methods such as historical-logical, exegetical and analytical-synthetic, managing to expose the procedural reality of the Ecuadorian penitentiary system regarding penitentiary benefits and their processing.

Published: September 2024

The psychopedagogical training of teachers is essential to improve educational quality, since it allows them to understand the learning and development processes of their students, adapting pedagogical strategies to individual needs. The purpose of this article is to examine the needs of psycho-pedagogical training of teachers who study in the bachelor’s degree in educational sciences at the Metropolitan University. An exploratory study is carried out to determine the psycho-pedagogical domains that contribute to more effective teaching performance and identify the areas of knowledge fundamental to their academic preparation. Although most teachers recognize the relevance of psychopedagogical training, many have only received short courses and workshops, which could limit their ability to implement profound changes in their educational practices. On the other hand, they value and apply psycho-pedagogical principles in their teaching, however, there is a tendency to focus more on solving existing problems, instead of adopting a preventive approach. The above indicates that comprehensive psychopedagogical training is essential so that teachers can respond to current educational demands, contributing to the academic success and personal development of their students.

La garantía del debido proceso y la práctica de la prueba en las audiencias telemáticas
Authors: Alcocer-Proaño Melida Michelle , Batista-Hernández Noel
Published: September 2024

The implementation of telematic hearings during the pandemic has been a valuable tool to connect the procedural parties with the judge, streamlining judicial procedures. However, this change presents challenges in terms of respecting due process guarantees, especially in terms of authenticity of information and protection of personal data. Due process guarantees respect for the fundamental rights of people and regulates judicial acts and procedures. The implementation of telematic hearings has raised concerns about the technical quality of the connection, the security of the information and the lack of physical interaction to evaluate the credibility of the testimonies. The research methods used include observation to determine regularities in the hearings, bibliographic review to analyze relevant documents, and expert judgment through interviews and surveys. Likewise, methods such as analysis-synthesis and inductive are used to delve into the impact of procedural guarantees, lege ferenda to propose legal modifications, and historical-logical to evaluate compliance with guarantees and possible solutions. To address these concerns, a modification to the General Organic Code of Processes is proposed, establishing clear protocols that include verification of the identity of the declarant, the prohibition of reading notes during the declaration, and the possibility of applying additional verification in case of measures of doubts about the authenticity of the information. The proposal seeks to guarantee the integrity of the judicial process in telematic hearings, ensuring respect for the principles of due process and equal conditions for all parties involved.

The results lead to the conclusion that even though India is a desirable destination for international investments in industries like electronics, fashion, finance, and the automotive sector, foreign firms have not yet demonstrated that they have complied with due diligence requirements. The most vulnerable population continues to be subjected to cycles of poverty, slavery, and mistreatment because some of the jobs paid by large corporations represent the only means of economic subsistence.

This article examines the violations of the rights of informal workers in the gold mining park in the El Pache area of ​​the Portovelo canton, province of El Oro. Portovelo, being considered the first mining center in Ecuador, its economy is based on commercialization of gold to a greater degree compared to the rest of economic activities. This study identifies factors that contribute to poor working conditions, as well as establishing measures to reduce risks and promote better working conditions. Through a mixed methodology such as interviews, document reviews and statistical analysis, urgent topics that require the attention of government authorities come to light. A broad understanding of violations of workers' rights requires consideration of aspects such as labor regulations, employment contracts, working hours, appropriate remuneration and benefits, health and safety at work, termination of contracts and union dynamics. Analyzes describe that these violations are often related to poor implementation and compliance by employers, poor contractual agreements, non-payment of overtime, lack of social benefits and weak or non-existent collective bargaining contribute to the violations of labor rights, which establishes the urgent need to improve supervision by the entities in charge of effective regulatory compliance.
La nutrigenética: una oportunidad para la prevención y el tratamiento de enfermedades
Authors: López-Gamboa Yoel
Published: September 2024

Nutrigenetics is emerging as a crucial field of study in the search for personalized strategies for the prevention and treatment of diseases. With the objective of establishing the relationship between nutrient consumption and the probability of developing diseases, this work was developed with the intention of exposing the current state of scientific literature in this regard. A review study was developed in Spanish, English and Portuguese in Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar and Redalyc. The following search terms were used: nutrigenetics, precision nutrition and nutrigenomics. 68 articles were found, of which 31 were studied because they adjusted more precisely to the object of study. Nutrigenetics is based on the understanding of how individual genes interact with the nutrients we consume, marking a close relationship between diet and genetic expression. This field of study addresses how genetic variations between individuals influence the way their bodies process and use nutrients, which can have a significant impact on health and the development of diseases, the most studied being diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

LUCAS
Authors: De Souza Turim Maria Paula
Published: September 2024

O conto refere-se a desautorizar os espaços de leitura hegemônicos. Desse modo, o protagonista vivencia uma experiência além do ato de leitura por ele almejado. Lucas faz parte de dismistificar o pensamento cristalizado de que os brasileiros não leem, pois, encontramos pessoas lendo em diversos lugares - às vezes inusitados - onde há leitores distantes do ambiente considerado o exemplar: com cadeiras confortáveis e abajures ao lado. Essa configuração, delineada por uma elite, faz com que os variados lugares de leitura tornem-se invisíveis. Esse conto manifesta o ato de ler em mobilidade geográfica, dissolvendo a concepção dos lugares ideais de leitura.

LUGAR SINGULAR
Authors: Dias de Araújo João Paulo
Published: September 2024

Este poema é fruto de minha experiência vivida na universidade na qual sou estudante da turma de mestrado. Tais sensações são o que registrei através de versos em forma de cordel durante as aulas, "conversas de corredor" e diálogos após os términos das mesmas.
LUZ NEON NA ENCRUZILHADA
Authors: Karol Eduardo
Published: September 2024

O texto que apresento foi escrito na década de oitenta (ou noventa, não me lembro bem) do século XX. A inspiração veio do tempo juvenil em que colecionava caixas de fósforo — tal prática se chama Filumenia — e ao mesmo tempo identificava o espaço onde eram produzidas. Agora disponibilizo com a tentativa de incentivar docentes da educação básica a exercitar a imaginação sobre os espaços de existências próprios e dos estudantes. Trata da modificação da paisagem onde os equipamentos — removido e construído — tem novos sentidos e funções.
