Linking with Society as a Synergy Driver between Academia and Digital Transformation: A Review of the Literature.
type: item
description: In the era of digital transformation, universities play a key role not only as knowledge generators but also as agents of social change through their engagement with society. This article presents a literature review on the synergy between academia and technological advancement, highlighting how university engagement contributes to reducing the digital divide in Latin America. Data from international organizations, such as the World Bank and the OECD, reveal inequalities in access to and use of technology in the region. Additionally, successful engagement projects that have supported the development of SMEs and vulnerable communities through technology and knowledge transfer are discussed. Finally, it is concluded that artificial intelligence and emerging technologies represent strategic opportunities to strengthen university-society engagement and mitigate the negative effects of the digital divide.

Psychoeducation for the Teaching of Psychological Techniques based on the Levenstein Test adapted to Spanish.
type: item
description: This study examines the perception of workload from the perspective of administrative employees, employing the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) by Levenstein, linguistically adapted to Ecuadorian Spanish. The instrument, consisting of 30 items applied at two time points, evaluates stress levels across diverse populations. Results indicate high levels of perceived workload over both general (1–2 years) and specific (last month) periods, revealing a strong link between excessive work demands and adverse effects on employees’ physical and mental health, including burnout syndrome. The research emphasizes the importance of strategies to mitigate stress, such as effective time management, coping skills (mindfulness and cognitive reappraisal), relaxation techniques (diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation), stress psychoeducation, and strengthening social support networks. These interventions not only alleviate perceived workload but also foster overall well being and enhance organizational productivity.

Inclusive Educational Strategies and the Challenges of Contemporary Complexities: A Transcomplex View.
type: item
description: The presentation focuses on a critical reflective analysis of the importance of inclusive educational strategies in the face of the challenges of contemporary complexities from a transcomplex perspective. The main concepts related to inclusive education and the approach to contemporary complexities from transcomplexity are identified. It is based on transcomplex social research, because it requires a critical and reflective attitude to understand, analyze, interpret and reflect on the multiplicity of factors involved in the phenomenon studied. As a result, it was found that the use of inclusive educational strategies has proven to be a powerful tool to face the challenges of contemporary complexities by promoting diversity, equity and the participation of the network of actors in the educational act, proposing as a discussion that to face the challenges of contemporary complexities requires the active participation of the State, educational institutions, teachers, students, families and the community.

Education, Culture, Technology and Innovation as Drivers of Social Change.
type: item
description: The article analyses the interrelation between education, culture, technology and innovation as fundamental drivers of social change. It is the product of a documentary review of articles, books, reports and indexes from the year 2024 related to the subject. The result is a heterogeneous panorama and scattered data, with some persistent advances and challenges: increased access to higher education more in undergraduate than in postgraduate education, prevalence of private education over public education, which is why access gaps persist for some socioeconomic groups, advances in female participation, even though inequalities remain in areas such as STEAM careers and leadership positions. Greater investment is required in infrastructure and resources, especially related to the incorporation of technology and AI, which affects quality. Collaboration between Latin American universities and those from other regions must be emphasized to strengthen research and the training of human talent. Investment in R&D remains insufficient, which hinders innovation, which is why greater participation of the productive sector is required. It is concluded that higher education in the Latin American region must strengthen the development of soft skills such as critical thinking, creativity and active citizenship, supported by culture, to provide a sense of identity and belonging conducive to inclusion and diversity, through greater promotion of artistic and cultural education. Technology and innovation, as catalysts for change, must be incorporated into the university curriculum.

Integrative Educational Strategies for the Promotion of Inclusion.
type: item
description: The presentation reflects on integrative educational strategies to promote inclusion, understood as a complex notion, in permanent evolution. Integrative and inclusive strategies materialize the contributions of a variety of theories and models, which seek the comprehensive development of all dimensions of people. It is the product of a documentary study based on the review of texts related to the subject. As results, information is obtained about some strategies that are generally considered integrative and inclusive, such as Universal Learning Design (UDA), Flipped Classroom (FLIP), Problem-Based Learning (ABp) and Project-Based Learning (PBL), as well as the need for permanent updating of teachers. It is concluded that integrative and inclusive educational strategies must be based on the complementarity of three fundamental principles: diversity (difference), equity (equality) and participation (right of all).

Financial Services of the BIESS and its Economic Impact on Students of the University of Guayaquil, 2022-2023.
type: item
description: The lack of knowledge about BIESS financial services and their connection to financial education motivated this research, focused on students from the University of Guayaquil during the 2022-2023 period. The main objective was to analyze the economic impact of these services on this student population. A mixed approach was adopted, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques; in the qualitative phase, the students’ perceptions were explored in their natural context, while the quantitative phase employed structured questionnaires to collect data. The results showed that the lack of financial education affects students’ ability to make sound financial decisions, leading to excessive debt and limited use of available financial services. In contrast, proper financial education helps identify basic needs, encourages savings, reduces unnecessary spending, and promotes investments with calculated risks. It is concluded that implementing financial education programs at the University of Guayaquil is essential to improving students’ financial decisions, helping them manage their resources effectively and build a more stable economic future.

Latin American Social Trans-fabric: A Multidimensional Cartography of Identities, Beliefs and Social Behavior.
type: item
description: The Latin American social trans-fabric reflects a complex transfiguration highlighting a weave of traditions, beliefs, and behaviors, seen drawn and intertwined in the great canvas of the world map, in which they have evolved and prevailed through time, as transcultural processes that are molded according to the demands, needs, and potentialities of each region, and in an increasingly globalized planet. This article explores the multidimensionality of Latin American being in the context of globalization, analyzing the intersections between tradition and modernity, contemporary manifestations of spirituality, emotionality, and cognitive-behavioral processes that characterize contemporary Latin American societies. Hermeneutics is applied as a method through theoretical-philosophical documentary analysis of the investigated topic, examining the sociocultural transformations that define Latin American identity in comparison with Western, Eastern, and African societies from a transcomplex prism, as each people, each region, each continent, while maintaining differences, also interconnect as a whole in the universal social spirality (USS) cultivating their roots, their anchoring as an integrated whole that complements them from their philosophical worldview that characterizes them in their daily life and existence as 21st century societies.

Diverse Knowledge in the Transcomplex Reality of Human Activity.
type: item
description: The contrast between the multidimensional universal scenario is contradictory with a process of knowledge of mobilizing tendency in classical rationalism, which does not always consider the mediations of plural and heterogeneous interinfluences of the diversity of knowledge. The objective: to complement previous conceptualizations with the polyrelational diverse transdisciplinary holistic hologrammatic ecoepistemy for any of the processes of human activity. Methodology: a preferential logic for the inexactness and unknown of knowledge, directed by the transmethod of diverse eco-combination of dialogical dynamics of creative prospective problematization. The result: a diverse polyrelational eco-epistemic matrix methodology, a guarantee of sustainability in the subjects’ intentionality, from their multiple self-management capacity with sociocognitive precedence to unknown multidirectional transrelations; debunking myths; configure systems of confluences and transrelations of multidimensional-polyrelational network systems that typify a transcomplex reality. The option reaffirms the potential of diversity as an inherent quality of the human condition with the admission of plural interinfluences in a scenario with ethics, aesthetics, and harmony with the environment. The existence of problematizing situations where the environment, emerging ecosystems, culture, the interconnections between them, or from one of them, converge, is a suggestive pretext for emerging this reality, and embracing the unknown.

The role of neighborhood and cantonal sports leagues in the development of communities community development: an approach to strengthening local development
type: item
description: The neighborhood and cantonal sports leagues are considered an arm of the economy in the community, however, it has been detected that these sports organizations are unaware of the good administrative, accounting, tax and financial practices by those who make up the leagues, which does not allow for better control of the assigned resources or the fulfillment of their established plans regarding the popularization of sport, both in urban and rural areas, therefore the immediate effect is the non-compliance with the delivery of periodic financial reports and progress of results achieved within the annual planning. The aim is to analyze the socioeconomic level of the neighborhood and cantonal sports leagues that have been part of the community services project between the University of Guayaquil and the Ministry of Sports and to establish how local development and the participation of the academy through the connection with society affects the quality of life of the community. This community strengthening translates into additional benefits, such as greater collaboration in local initiatives and a sense of shared identity. The methodological approach in this study is of a mixed type based on secondary information through surveys and documentary information collected from sports organizations and users of their facilities. According to the results obtained through sports organizations and users of neighborhood and cantonal sports leagues, it was evident that the existence of these leagues plays a crucial role in strengthening local development. The data collected indicate that these leagues contribute significantly to the creation of opportunities for different citizens to participate in sports training activities, in addition to recreational and/or leisure activities.

Design and validation of an instrument to measure competencies in scientific information management
type: item
description: Effective information management has become essential in today's academic context, where the abundance of data requires critical skills for its access, evaluation and use. However, many researchers in training lack these skills, which can limit the quality of their research. The study presented aims to design and validate an instrument to measure scientific information management skills in postgraduate researchers. The study is based on a theoretical framework that covers information search, critical evaluation of sources, data synthesis and communication of findings. A bibliometric analysis of existing instruments was carried out, followed by a systematic development of the new questionnaire, which was validated with a group of researchers from various disciplines. The results indicate a Cronbach coefficient of 0.87, suggesting excellent internal consistency of the instrument. The implications of this study are significant for the training of postgraduate researchers, as it provides a diagnostic tool that allows identifying areas for improvement in information skills. The implementation of the instrument in postgraduate training programs is recommended to guide the development of information management skills. In addition, future research is suggested to explore its application in different contexts and its relationship with academic performance, thus contributing to improving the quality of research and the preparation of researchers in the academic field.

The process of theorizing, reflections and conclusions in the degree projects
type: item
description: The process of theorizing, reflections and conclusions in a degree project involves the construction of a solid theoretical base, critical reflection on the methodology and results, and the presentation of conclusions that contribute to existing knowledge and guide future research. The objective of this article is to analyze the importance and significance of the process of theorizing, reflections and conclusions in degree projects. Both the stated objective and the methodology used allow us to state as results that theories are a set of manifestations and formulations related to each other that delimit, detail, relate and manifest different phenomena of interest to study, which are developed and expanded from customs, personal habits, perception and preexisting knowledge. Reflections, for their part, play a crucial role in degree projects, allowing students to analyze, interpret and discuss the findings obtained throughout the research. The conclusions are where the results obtained are consolidated and final reflections on the research carried out are offered. Finally, it is concluded that the process of theorization, reflection and conclusions provide the opportunity to highlight the significant contribution of research to the field of study and propose recommendations for future research.

type: item
description: The study is the result of a research project called “Interdisciplinary approach to the tourist development of rural communities in the province of Guayas”, whose objective is to strengthen tourist destinations in rural Ecuador, focusing on the Ecuadorian coast. For this reason, a descriptive research is applied, with an ethnographic method, where as a first phase the social reality of the cocoa producing organizations of Fino Aroma is analyzed, who have begun to offer rural tourism. From the communication point of view, an empirical management is identified, with an initial diagnosis on the strategies of diffusion and commercialization of their products. A bibliographical review is conducted and the communication factors and strategies that influence promotion and positioning are determined. As a result, proposals designed by students from the University of Guayaquil are presented, within the framework of the graduation process. The approach to local culture is observed for the design and renewal of the image of microenterprises, with an innovative approach, under the parameters of visual communication and the point of view of the leaders of the organizations. Finally, the role of social networks as a new promotion channel is reflected upon, as is the importance of adapting to new changes, given that cyberspace is a reality for all productive sectors. At the same time, the participation of the academy is highlighted, with the research area, to contribute to society with knowledge.

Towards a transformational transdidactic in the educational act.
type: item
description: In this study, it is proposed why the didactic reconfiguration should become the daily task of every teacher, based on the search for real and socially relevant meanings. For this reason, a hermeneutic reflection is made about the lack of knowledge in the today’s times, facing the chllenges and challenges that the educational and investigative fact implies in the world, from a study of hermeneutic modality, from which it becomes possible to promote options other than didactics, according to the new socio-educational challenges that It propels a didactic reconfiguration with new perspectives, reinterpretations and redefinitions of the educational task, for educational work in which the ontological is erected to blur what has defined the colonizing didactic thought. Hence, educational methodological assumptions are advocated that overcome and transgress the epistemological and even sociocultural obstacles that prevent the teaching intellect from acting in and from a process in which it is not taught but shared and permanent knowledge is built and deconstructed. Thus, it is concluded that the transepistemology of the didactics of the teaching-learning loop requires taking into account not only the act of teaching itself, but all those involved in said act and that is why Transdidactics takes into account the student, the teacher, planning, curriculum, teaching techniques, content, among others.

The education of the human being in times of planetary crisis.
type: item
description: Transcomplex education invites preschool teachers to sensitize so that within these micro worlds of life in current Venezuelan families, they intertwine innovative theories and practices that redefine education from multireferentiality, building knowledge based on the understanding of the reality of the world around her. Facing challenges, imbalances and balances approached in a different way, since from the transcomplexity the biological, psychological, cultural, social, axiological, physical, spiritual, historical and emotional play a preponderant role when studying reality. This educational situation invites a deep reflexivity where transdisciplinarity builds and consolidates a new transparadigm for the understanding and proper management of grief in these times of pandemic, transcending the categories of approaches used so far in these scenarios to learn and teach. The essay presents initial reflections, then educational brushstrokes for the understanding of mourning and affective loss in times of pandemic from transcomplexity, so that a multidiversity of collaborative pedagogical tools is used to cement and strengthen the essence of human existence. Next, the transcomplex transparadigmatic hatching is presented, considering some approaches that facilitate the integral strengthening of boys and girls during their mourning processes in teachers. Close with final thoughts and reflections.

Bioethics and biopolitics. Two divergent epistemic dimensions in times of pandemic from a transparadigmatic position.
type: item
description: The transformations of contemporary thought, in the light of the search for answers to the great questions that arise from the relationships between individuals and of these with the State and its institutions, find in the field of ethics and politics, two great epistemic dimensions that have been advancing asynchronously, in the context of the last decades, along with the development of great human conflicts and their approximation to the limits that define the instrumental reason for their existence, considering the interweaving of relationships that are They are basting around these dimensions, until they come to shape what is now known as Bioethics and Biopolitics. Considering these as two emerging epistemic categories, which try to act as mediating and regulating spheres of human behavior closely linked to the control and management of aspects related to life, health and death in the context of modern society, and its relationship with the exercise of power, managing to approach and find themselves in a divergent way in constant struggle, in scenarios of varying degrees of conflict, given the nature of their mutually exclusive principles that sustain them, and that are inherent to them, granting both epistemic categories, transparadigmatic dimensions in themselves. Hence, a transparadigmatic investigation is presented from the qualitative hermeneutic methodological perspective with procedures of an emergent, non-classical nature.

Relate oral health and physical fitness in industrial direct labor workers: pilot study.
type: item
description: Physical fitness is the ability of a person to be able to do physical work effectively and without excessive fatigue. In some jobs, physical fitness is a threshold physiological competency. Objective: To relate oral health versus physical fitness in a population of direct labor workers in the Venezuelan industrial sector. Methods: Field study, quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional, epidemiological. Population: industrial direct labor workers, in which a pilot test was taken with a sample of 60 workers (36 men-24 women): A prior oral check-up was carried out and then physical fitness tests were carried out: push-ups or chest push-ups; sit-ups in 1 minute, and reps in 1 minute of standing up and sitting down. Results: The female population (24 subjects) with an average of 40.97±12.64 years of age. 63% have oral health problems specifically periodontitis. Male population with average age: 44.88±13.78 years, the percentage of workers with periodontitis 67%. It can be concluded that there is a first approximation in the relationship between oral health and physical fitness in the parameters of heart rate at rest and relative aerobic capacity in male workers.

Characterization of a population of industrial direct labor workers for anthropometric studies.
type: item
description: Anthropometric investigations should have a population that takes into account the age group and sex, for this it is necessary to know the population or the number of individuals to be studied. Official entities such as the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) and in the industrial sector lack figures that can provide information that characterizes a population of Venezuelan industrial direct labor (PVIDL). The objective of this research was to characterize a PVIDL that allowed taking into account the current anthropometric variability in the Venezuelan industrial context. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with a survey or questionnaire, which made it possible to determine an approximate stratification of direct labor workers, which, as mentioned, does not exist sources or official data regarding PVIVL. Results: The Aragua state and its industrial zones were taken as the population base, obtaining the participation of 11 companies, duly chosen in the industrial zones. Within this survey, 3125 workers were obtained, being their stratification by sex in percentage: 80% men and 20% women, which was compared with the previous study of Burgos (2017). Conclusions: Within this study, the current characterization of a PVIDL is obtained, taking into account anthropometric variability: sex, age or age group and origin. Recommendations: Maintain and update the PMODIV data.

type: item
description: During the last years, great efforts have been made to improve the situation of children and adolescents, if the text of the Organic Law for the Protection of Children and Adolescents is reviewed, it is evidenced in the legal instrument, which does not establishes sanctions for police officers in the denial of justice to children and adolescents within the framework of constitutional guarantees, one must resort to what has been established in this regard by the Code of Civil Procedure, which in the investigator’s opinion, the Sanctions prescribed therein are pecuniary.

Socio-community neuroeducation: towards the ideal society latin american
type: item
description: The human brain has the capacity to capture and/or retain, just as in a movie, everything that the individual contemplates in his or her daily life. The ultimate goal of this reflexive argumentative article is to unravel how the thinking being within the great social spiral manages to coexist, and at the same time resignify its customs in the context in which it develops. It is based on a methodology with a transmethodical approach to systematize the information collected. The methods used: longitudinal study, as well as the documentary analysis of literature on the subject, reflexive hermeneutics, and systematization of experiences with an anecdotal record, through the technique of participant observation for 12 years, finding the absence of values, lack of family awareness, and that the family is the fundamental cell of society. Reflecting that, society has its way of learning, from its customs, set of values or popular wisdom nourishes its social brain, so it is these premises that contribute to go towards the ideal society through a transdisciplinary approach that allows the understanding of social behavior, so a new construct for the social sciences is provided: Socio-Community Neuroeducation.
