A Mulher Política na Era Digital: Análise do Discurso Visual no Facebook e da Percepção Pública em Quito – Equador
No full textIn today’s political sphere, social media has become a crucial space for shaping the image of female politicians. Facebook, in particular, has established itself as a platform where visual discourse plays a central role in digital communication. This analysis focuses on understanding how female politicians in Quito use this platform to generate visual discourse and project their identities in the digital environment. Facebook's growing influence in political life has transformed communication and campaign strategies; however, a significant gap remains in understanding how the audiovisual narrative of female politicians impacts public perception. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the visual narrative in posts on this social media platform to identify its impact on content consumption and dissemination in the current context. The methodology used was mixed, non-experimental, with content analysis on Facebook, as well as in-depth interviews and metric analysis, which enabled more accurate results. In conclusion, the results showed that Facebook significantly shapes perceptions of female politicians in Quito, as its narratives generate meanings and identities that directly influence public perception.En la esfera política actual, las redes sociales se han consolidado como un espacio fundamental para la construcción de la imagen de la mujer política.

Este análisis se centra en entender cómo las mujeres políticas de Quito utilizan esta plataforma para generar un discurso visual y proyectar su identidad en el entorno digital. La creciente influencia de Facebook en la vida política ha transformado las estrategias de comunicación y campaña, sin embargo, persiste una brecha significativa en la comprensión de cómo la narrativa audiovisual de la mujer política impacta en la percepción pública. Por lo expuesto, surge la necesidad de analizar la narrativa visual empleada en las publicaciones en la red social, con el fin de identificar el impacto en el consumo y difusión de contenido en la actualidad. La metodología que se utilizó fue mixta de alcance no experimental con análisis de contenido en Facebook, así como con la aplicación de entrevistas a profundidad y análisis de métricas, lo que permitió tener resultados más exactos. En conclusión, el resultado demostró que Facebook influye significativamente en la visualización de la mujer política en Quito, ya que, a través de sus narrativas generan significados e identidades que influyen directamente en la percepción pública.Na esfera política atual, as redes sociais consolidaram-se como um espaço fundamental para a construção da imagem da mulher política.

No full textEl estudio analizó la influencia de las herramientas tecnológicas de la industria 4.0 en la eficiencia de la gestión del mantenimiento vehicular público en la ciudad de Cuenca. El objetivo principal fue determinar cómo dichas herramientas inciden en la eficiencia operativa del mantenimiento de vehículos públicos durante el año 2025, con el propósito de reconocer las oportunidades de mejora en los procesos operativos institucionales. La investigación fue de tipo exploratoria, descriptiva y correlacional, utilizando como técnica la encuesta, aplicada a 45 funcionarios de áreas administrativas y operativas. Los datos recopilados fueron analizados estadísticamente con un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple para determinar la relación entre las variables independientes herramientas tecnológicas 4.0, nivel de implementación e integración de sistemas de mantenimiento, y la variable dependiente eficiencia de gestión. Los resultados mostraron que la variable que más afecta la eficiencia del mantenimiento es la integración de sistemas (p = 0,000), mientras que las otras variables no mostraron resultados estadísticamente significativos. Se concluye que la eficiencia de las instituciones está relacionada con el grado de integración y uso de tecnología, lo que crea un modelo de gestión inteligente orientado a la transformación digital y la sostenibilidad del sector público.The study analyzed the influence of Industry 4.0 technological tools on the efficiency of public vehicle maintenance management in the city of Cuenca. The main objective was to determine how these tools affect the operational efficiency of public vehicle maintenance during 2025, with the purpose of recognizing opportunities for improvement in institutional operating processes. The research was exploratory, descriptive and correlational, using the survey technique applied to 45 officials from administrative and operational areas. The collected data were statistically analyzed with a multiple linear regression model to determine the relationship between the independent variables technological tools 4.0, level of implementation and integration of maintenance systems, and the dependent management efficiency variable. The results showed that the variable that most affects maintenance efficiency is system integration (p = 0.000), while the other variables did not show statistically significant results. It is concluded that the efficiency of institutions is related to the degree of integration and use of technology, which creates a smart management model oriented towards digital transformation and public sector sustainability.O estudo analisou a influência das ferramentas tecnológicas da indústria 4.0 na eficiência da gestão da manutenção veicular pública na cidade de Cuenca.

Os resultados mostraram que a variável que mais afeta a eficiência da manutenção é a integração de sistemas (p = 0,000), enquanto as demais variáveis não apresentaram resultados estatisticamente significativos. Conclui-se que a eficiência das instituições está relacionada com o grau de integração e uso de tecnologia, o que cria um modelo de gestão inteligente orientado para a transformação digital e a sustentabilidade do setor público
Scoping literature review: Rainfall and flooding effects on chemicals in the environment that are a risk to health
No full textObservational evidence shows that flooding can cause chemical material to contaminate homes through contact with flood water, and also increase the mobilization of dangerous chemicals from storage or remobilization of chemicals already in the environment. The aim of the review is to identify evidence of the current impact of extreme weather events (heavy rain, flooding, storms) on the chemicals in the environment, the chemical risk pathways and the populations most at risk. We aim to understand the mechanisms of harm include floods causing risk to health by mobilising toxic substantives, explosions and reactions that then lead to contamination of floodwater with chemicals

The performance of off-the-shelf and population derived lexica in extracting implicit personality from self-descriptions
No full textWe use a bottom-up approach to create a large population-specific lexicon of personality terms. We are interested in the overlap and sensitivity to extract implicit personality of this dictionary compared to an established trait dictionary in the same language

No full textThe Social Verification of Implicit Knowledge in Dyads: The Mediating Role of Confidence
No full textHere we investigate the effect of dyadic interaction on implicit learning performance using a visual artificial grammar learning task. The experiment consisted of a learning phase, dyadic and individual test phases, and a process dissociation procedure as an awareness measure. In the dyadic test phase, participants of the experimental group exchanged initial guesses and confidence ratings before revising their judgments. In the control group, participants could revise their responses but had no communication with each other. We find that dyadic interaction moderated the effect of response revision on categorization accuracy: initial judgments in the control group were more accurate than the revised ones, but the experimental group had a reverse trend
Welcome to the Jangle (Fallacy): The Case of Statistics and Mathematics Anxieties
No full textBackground: Statistics-related anxiety is a common barrier to learning in higher education, particularly for psychology and other non-specialist students. High prevalence rates are concerning because statistical literacy is integral to academic success, employability, and informed citizenship. Clarifying the nature of statistics anxiety is central to understanding it, yet it remains unclear whether statistics anxiety is genuinely distinct from mathematics anxiety or simply another manifestation of the same construct.
Aims: We examined the degree of overlap (jangle fallacy) between the Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS) and the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (R-MARS).
Samples: Two cohorts of UK undergraduate psychology students participated: Study 1 (n = 489) and Study 2 (n = 245).
Methods: Each study combined a cross-sectional survey with a between-participants experiment. Surveys included the STARS, R-MARS, parallel forms to control for scale content, and measures of trait and state anxiety. In the experiment, participants were randomly assigned to complete either a statistics or mathematics multiple-choice test, with state anxiety measured before and after.
Results: Results pointed to overlap across all analyses and samples. Scales were highly correlated, items did not separate into distinct domains, individuals rarely reported one without the other, and state anxiety increased similarly across test types.
Conclusions: Findings show that statistics anxiety, as measured by the STARS, is not distinct from mathematics anxiety, as measured by the R-MARS. Recognising statistics anxiety as part of the broader mathematics anxiety construct can streamline measurement, clarify theory, and support more effective interventions for reducing quantitative anxieties in education
