Impact of the Didactic Manual "Creating and Recreating" on the development of linguistic intelligence in fifth grade students: An innovative approach in basic education
Get PDFThe research focused on exploring the impact of the development and application of an innovative didactic manual entitled "Creating and Recreating" on the development of linguistic intelligence of fifth grade students of basic education in the Eloy Alfaro Educational Unit of Alausi canton. The methodology was of quasi-experimental design, with a mixed and explanatory approach. The interactions of 18 students were observed during the application of the manual to obtain a detailed understanding of their participation and reactions. In addition, structured surveys were designed to collect data on the change in the 18 students\u27 perceptions of linguistic intelligence before and after the application of the manual. The findings consistently indicated a positive impact on multiple dimensions of students\u27 language learning after the application of the didactic manual. There was evidence of a favorable change in the students\u27 interest in and enjoyment of reading, as well as notable transformations in their reading practices and preferences. Particularly noteworthy is the positive impact on semantic interpretation skills and reading comprehension, suggesting that the manual played an integral role in the development of key skills. These results underscore the effectiveness of the pedagogical approach adopted, supporting the relevance of innovative strategies to enhance the learning process and encourag
Evaluation of the effect of three fixed-time artificial insemination (FTI) protocols on reproductive parameters in milk-producing girolando cow
Get PDFThis study was framed within the research line of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences entitled: production, management and sustainable development of agricultural, livestock and forestry products with an ecosystem approach. In addition, it was aligned with the sub-line of the Zootechnics degree course: local, regional and national integrated livestock development and management. The development of the research work entitled, evaluation of the effect of 3 fixed-time artificial insemination protocols (FTAI), on reproductive parameters in girolando cows producing milk, was carried out at the Universidad Técnica Luis Vargas Torres, located in the parish of San Mateo, Mutile, Esmeraldas, Esmeraldas province, in order to evaluate the pregnancy rate per treatment, percentage of accumulated pregnancy rate and service per conception per treatment. For the experiment 12 girolando cows were chosen, between first and second calving, all cows had a 30 days equal preparation management, with a body condition (CC) of 3 to 4.5, then 3 groups of 4 cows each one were formed, randomly distributed
Process management as a baseline for occupational safety
Get PDFThe purpose of this article is to inform employers and workers in general about the importance of documenting the management by processes for the benefit of occupational safety, which productive or service companies must have in order to have safe working environments. What is described in first order are the statistics of work accidents in a period of five years and the legal aspects and pertinent public organisms of control, with which the public and private companies manage their plan of prevention labor risks in our national territory and then it is to make known on the importance that has the use and application of the technical tools of control and analysis that make possible to evidence, to analyze and to improve the enterprise processes. Finally, having managed to balance the process management, making it possible for workers to adopt a culture of doing things right from the first moment and thus improve labor productivity, reducing or eliminating hazards and risks associated with work and that lead to occupational accidents, with a good control at the source and in the middle, it will reduce or eliminate risks. The result of this well-directed management will allow the company to focus on customer satisfaction, providing safe working environments
Alternative Material for the plastic injection molding of the Kia Rio\u27s ventilation grille
Get PDFThis research was based on the selection of an alternative material for the manufacture by plastic injection of the Kia Rio\u27s ventilation grille. This accessory has a high acquisition cost because the vast majority are imported elements. Therefore, a composite material was sought that can replace the original, which was found in a local environment and is applicable in the plastic injection manufacturing process. The COPRAS multi-criteria method was used to choose the ideal material to replace the original, which was ABS-PC, with PP-20% Bamboo fiber. Finally, once the ideal candidate has been obtained, the next step was to carry out simulations of the plastic injection process with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis software for plastics; these simulations were carried out for the original material. The results obtained by the multicriteria selection criterion showed that PP-20% bamboo fiber is the ideal candidate to replace the original. This result was corroborated by the CFD simulation that demonstrated that it has the best characteristics to be applied in the plastic injection process

Therefore, the final product of the research was the creation of a physical booklet with pedagogical, didactic and ludic strategies that gave reason to fulfill the objective of the research project
Communication and the construction of social identity: an analysis of the relationship between communication and social identity formation
Get PDFCommunication and identity formation are key topics in sociological theory. In this study, the bibliographic method was used to identify the most relevant theories and concepts on the relationship between communication and the construction of social identity. The results suggest that this process is dynamic and develops through social interaction and communication. In the digital era, media and social networks play an important role in the construction of identity, as they influence how we perceive ourselves and how we relate to others. The authors agree that communication is fundamental to transmit common meanings and values that allow us to understand our environment and define our identity in relation to others. Currently, communication and the construction of social identity address different aspects related to the influence of digital technologies and artificial intelligence on the way in which identity is constructed and represented online
