ABSTRACT
This article analyzes continuous training strategies for tourism personnel in the parish of San Lorenzo, Jipijapa, Ecuador, highlighting the importance of integrating new technologies and making use of smart infrastructures in destinations that seek to strengthen their position in the sector. The study arises from the need to enhance the skills of tourism workers, as technological innovation has become a key factor for ensuring sustainability and improving the competitiveness of localities with tourism potential. The research followed a quantitative approach, applying surveys to staff involved in tourism activities. This made it possible to assess their preparation in the use of digital tools, identify the main barriers to adopting technology, and explore alternatives to promote lifelong learning. The results show that, although there is a positive attitude toward digitalization, most workers lack specialized training in tourism applications and management systems. A limited integration of technologies in service delivery and the absence of structured training programs adapted to local needs were also identified. Nevertheless, there is strong interest in participating in training processes and collaborative learning spaces, which creates an opportunity to design continuous education plans tailored to San Lorenzo’s context. In conclusion, the adoption of technologies in emerging destinations such as San Lorenzo largely depends on the implementation of sustained educational strategies, the strengthening of an innovation-oriented culture, and collaboration among public, private, and community institutions, with the aim of positioning tourism as a driver of local development.

RESUMEN
Este artículo analiza las estrategias de formación continua para el personal turístico de la parroquia San Lorenzo, en Jipijapa, Ecuador, resaltando la importancia de integrar nuevas tecnologías y aprovechar infraestructuras inteligentes en destinos que buscan consolidarse dentro del sector. El trabajo parte de la necesidad de reforzar las competencias de los trabajadores del turismo, ya que la innovación tecnológica se ha convertido en un factor clave para garantizar la sostenibilidad y mejorar la competitividad de las localidades con potencial turístico. La investigación se desarrolló con un enfoque cuantitativo, aplicando encuestas al personal vinculado con actividades turísticas. Esto permitió conocer su preparación en el uso de herramientas digitales, las principales dificultades para adaptarse a la tecnología y las posibles alternativas para fomentar el aprendizaje continuo. Los resultados muestran que, aunque existe una buena disposición hacia la digitalización, la mayoría de los trabajadores no cuenta con capacitación especializada en aplicaciones y sistemas de gestión turística. También se identificó un uso limitado de tecnologías en los servicios y la falta de programas de formación ajustados a la realidad local. A pesar de ello, se evidenció interés en participar en procesos de capacitación y en espacios de aprendizaje conjunto, lo que abre la posibilidad de crear planes de formación continua adecuados al contexto de San Lorenzo. En conclusión, la incorporación de tecnologías en destinos emergentes como San Lorenzo depende en gran medida de la implementación de estrategias educativas permanentes, del fortalecimiento de una cultura innovadora y de la articulación entre instituciones públicas, privadas y comunitarias, con el fin de impulsar al turismo como motor de desarrollo local.

Incidencias de las exportaciones de cacao en la rentabilidad de las grandes empresas cacaoteras de la provincia de Los Ríos, 2022-2024
Get PDFDOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/rc.v8i15.0366
The present research analyzed the impact of the cacao export dynamism on the profitability of large cocoa companies in the province of Los Ríos during the period 2022–2024. The main objective was to identify the relationship between the growth of exports and the key financial indicators of these organizations, such as sales revenue, operating profit, net profit, assets, and equity. The study was conducted under a quantitative approach, with a descriptive scope and non-experimental design, using official information from the Superintendence of Companies, Securities, and Insurance of Ecuador and the Central Bank of Ecuador. The results showed that, despite the notable increase in exported volumes and the historic rise in international cocoa prices driven by a decline in African production, the large cocoa companies did not manage to translate this favorable environment into proportional profitability. Although there was a gradual improvement in their revenues and equity, net profits continued to be limited in relation to the volume of operations and committed assets. This situation suggests the existence of structural challenges such as low operational efficiency, high logistical costs, and an uneven distribution of added value within the production chain. The study concluded that cocoa exports constitute a strategic engine for the financial strengthening of the agro-industrial sector, but their impact on profitability largely depends on internal factors such as technological advancement, efficiency in product transformation, and management capacity. It is recommended that companies strengthen their strategic planning and that public entities generate incentives that promote productive reinvestment and value addition. The findings provide relevant empirical evidence for decision-making in a key sector of Ecuador's non-oil economy.

RESUMEN
La presente investigación analizó la incidencia del dinamismo exportador del cacao en la rentabilidad de las grandes empresas cacaoteras de la provincia de Los Ríos durante el período 2022–2024. El objetivo principal fue identificar la relación entre el crecimiento de las exportaciones y los indicadores financieros clave de estas organizaciones, tales como ingresos por ventas, utilidad del ejercicio, utilidad neta, activos y patrimonio. El estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, con alcance descriptivo y diseño no experimental, utilizando información oficial proveniente de la Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros del Ecuador y del Banco Central del Ecuador. Los resultados evidenciaron que, a pesar del notable aumento en los volúmenes exportados y del alza histórica de los precios internacionales del cacao impulsada por una caída en la producción africana, las grandes empresas cacaoteras no lograron traducir este entorno favorable en una rentabilidad proporcional. Si bien hubo una mejora progresiva en sus ingresos y patrimonio, las utilidades netas continuaron siendo limitadas frente al volumen de operaciones y activos comprometidos. Esta situación sugiere la existencia de retos estructurales como la baja eficiencia operativa, los altos costos logísticos y una distribución desigual del valor agregado dentro de la cadena productiva. El estudio concluyó que las exportaciones de cacao constituyen un motor estratégico para el fortalecimiento financiero del sector agroindustrial, pero su impacto sobre la rentabilidad depende en gran medida de factores internos como la tecnificación, la eficiencia en la transformación del producto y la capacidad de gestión. Se recomienda a las empresas fortalecer su planificación estratégica y a las entidades públicas generar incentivos que promuevan la reinversión productiva y la agregación de valor. Los hallazgos aportan evidencia empírica relevante para la toma de decisiones en un sector clave de la economía no petrolera del Ecuador.

Síndrome de burnout en los servidores públicos acción social del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado del Cantón Tosagua
Get PDFDOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/rc.v8i16.0375
ABSTRACT
Burnout syndrome is a significant issue for many administrative professionals who face high levels of work-related stress. This article aimed to evaluate the presence of this syndrome among public servants in the Social Action Unit of the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Tosagua canton. The research was based on the three dimensions of the Maslach Burnout Inventory: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. A 22-item test was administered to identify the work performance level of the public servants. In the qualitative and quantitative analysis, a Likert scale was used with values from 1 to 5, where 1 represents "strongly disagree," 2 "disagree," 3 "neutral," 4 "agree," and 5 "strongly agree." A census sampling was conducted with a total of 25 participants, and the statistical software SPSS was used for descriptive analysis, employing Pearson's correlation coefficient. Finally, it was found that as the workload increases, so does emotional exhaustion among public servants in the Social Action Unit.

RESUMEN
El síndrome de Burnout es un problema significativo para muchos profesionales administrativos que enfrentan altos niveles de estrés laboral. Este artículo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la presencia de este síndrome en los servidores públicos de la Unidad de Acción Social del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado del cantón Tosagua. La investigación se basó en las tres dimensiones del Maslach Burnout Inventory: agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y realización personal. Se aplicó un test de 22 preguntas para identificar el nivel de desempeño laboral de los servidores públicos. En el análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo, se utilizó una escala tipo Likert con valores de 1 a 5, donde 1 representa "totalmente en desacuerdo", 2 "en desacuerdo", 3 "neutral", 4 "de acuerdo" y 5 "totalmente de "acuerdo". Se realizó una muestra censal con un total de 25 participantes, y se empleó el programa estadístico SPSS para el análisis descriptivo, utilizando el coeficiente de evaluación de Pearson. Finalmente, se comprueba que a medida que aumenta la carga de trabajo, también lo hace el desgate emocional en los servidores públicos en la Unidad de Acción Social.

Evaluación del control interno en las cuentas por cobrar y su efecto en la liquidez: Caso Importadora Adrián CÍA. LTDA., Cantón La Maná, 2024
Get PDFDOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/rc.v8i16.0376
This research aims to evaluate internal control over accounts receivable management and its impact on the liquidity of Importadora Adrián Cía. Ltda. during 2024. The investigation identified deficiencies in the control mechanisms related to the granting, monitoring, and recovery of credit, which led to an increase in overdue accounts. A mixed methodology was used, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques such as interviews, document review, and an internal control questionnaire. The key findings revealed that the credit and collections department of Importadora Adrián Cía. Ltda. showed a moderate risk of 9%, primarily due to insufficient ongoing staff training and a lack of automated monitoring mechanisms. This moderate risk constituted a significant vulnerability that required priority attention to improve management of the external environment and reduce potential risks in the collections process. The application of the COSO III model allowed us to identify critical components, such as the Control Environment component in the credit area, which presented vulnerabilities that must be addressed to further reduce associated risks. Strengthening internal control in accounts receivable management through the implementation of procedure manuals, process automation, and staff training significantly improves liquidity and reduces the company's delinquency rate, contributing to its financial sustainability. The adoption of these measures allows for greater efficiency in credit monitoring and recovery, mitigating future risks.

RESUMEN
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar el control interno en la gestión de las cuentas por cobrar y su impacto en la liquidez de la Importadora Adrián Cía. Ltda., durante el año 2024. La investigación identificó deficiencias en los mecanismos de control relacionados con el otorgamiento, seguimiento y recuperación de créditos, lo que provocó un aumento en las cuentas vencidas. Se empleó una metodología mixta que combinó técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas como entrevistas, revisión documental y cuestionario de control interno. Los principales hallazgos revelaron que el área de crédito y cobranzas de la Importadora Adrián Cía. Ltda. mostró un riesgo moderado del 9%, principalmente debido a la insuficiente capacitación continua del personal y la falta de mecanismos automatizados de monitoreo. Este riesgo moderado constituyó una vulnerabilidad significativa que requiere atención prioritaria para mejorar la gestión del entorno y reducir posibles riesgos en el proceso de cobranza. La aplicación del modelo COSO III, permitió identificar los componentes críticos, como el componente de Ambiente de control en el área de crédito, el cual presentó vulnerabilidades que deben ser abordadas para disminuir aún más los riesgos asociados. El fortalecimiento del control interno en la gestión de cuentas por cobrar, mediante la implementación de manuales de procedimientos, la automatización de los procesos y la capacitación del personal, mejoran significativamente la liquidez y reduce el nivel de morosidad en empresa, contribuyendo a su sostenibilidad financiera. La adopción de estas medidas permite una mayor eficiencia en el seguimiento y recuperación de créditos mitigando riesgos futuros.

Las obligaciones legales del accionante frente a la implementación del hábeas corpus preventivo en Ecuador
Get PDFDOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/rc.v8i15.0310
The study aimed to analyze the legitimacy of preventive habeas corpus as a mechanism for protecting the right to liberty. The methodology carried out consists of a qualitative approach, employing the legal-dogmatic method of constitutional and legal norms. The selected research technique was bibliographic-documentary, which allows for the verification and interpretation of scholars’ criteria, an analysis by the Constitutional Court must be conducted to establish the procedure that justice administrators should consider for its application. This should take into account that new Judicial Units will handle protection actions exclusively. Therefore, the Constitutional Court, as the highest judicial body in the country, should issue a ruling regulating the judicial and interpretative criteria that judges must apply, to avoid litigation concerning this type of guarantee and thus protect the right to liberty and the associated rights of all Ecuadorians, in the face of possible violations where there is certainty that these rights are threatened. Thus, the legal issue proposed is the analysis of the viability of preventive habeas corpus in Ecuador, with the aim of protecting the right to ambulatory freedom of individualism who have not been deprived of their liberty, a right recognize in the Constitution. For this reason, the legal issue lies in fact that preventive habeas corpus, as such is not regulated in our legal system, which turns into a social issue, an also puts judges at risk of being dismissed from their positions for contemplating a rule that is not expressly stated thereby disregarding the principle of legality.

Resumen
El estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar el hábeas corpus preventivo como mecanismo de tutela de derecho a la libertad en otros Estados y su aplicabilidad en el Ecuador. La metodología a realizar, radica en un enfoque cualitativo, empleando el método dogmático jurídico de la norma constitucional y legal, consistió en la bibliográfica-documental, con lo que se puede verificar e interpretar los criterios de tratadistas. Se finiquita que la importancia que posee el hábeas corpus preventivo, para proteger el derecho a la libertad personal, y sus derechos conexos, y así puedan ejercer el derecho a la defensa en libertad, ante certeza de la existencia de amenazas inmediatas e inminentes, en tal sentido debe realizarse un análisis por parte de la Corte Constitucional, con el que se instaure el procedimiento que los administradores de justicia deban considerar para su aplicación, contemplando que existirán nuevas Unidades Judicial que conozcan estrictamente casos de acciones de protección. Es así que la Corte Constitucional al ser el órgano máximo de justicia en el país debe emitir un pronunciamiento mediante el cual se reglamente el criterio judicial e interpretativo que deben ejercer los jueces, para evitar que existan litigios con respecto a este tipo de garantía, y de esta forma tutelar el derecho a la libertad y derechos conexos a esta. Por tal razón el problema jurídico radica que el hábeas corpus preventivo como tal no se encuentra normado en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, convirtiéndose esto en un problema social, y que también los propios jueces corran peligro al ser destituidos de sus cargos por contemplar norma que no está expresa dejando de lado el principio de legalidad.

One of the fundamental elements is the development of creativity in early education through the use of technology. Incorporating digital resources such as computers, tablets, teaching apps, and interactive materials allows access to educational experiences that foster creativity and critical thinking. Through these technological tools, children have the opportunity to explore abstract concepts in a fun way, which facilitates the development of their cognitive and emotional skills in a more dynamic and personalized environment. Technology also promotes a more creative and independent perspective. The implementation of technology in the classroom allows children to engage in tasks that enhance and develop their creativity, such as graphic design, online music, or the creation of interactive stories. These experiences promote a constructivist learning approach, where children not only absorb knowledge but also generate it, boosting their confidence and problem-solving skills. By integrating technology into the early educational process, the development of essential 21st-century skills is fostered, equipping children to face the challenges of an increasingly digital world and keeping them up to date.

RESUMEN
Uno de los elementos fundamentales es el desarrollo de la creatividad en la educación inicial con el uso de la tecnología. Incorporar recursos digitales como computadoras, tabletas, aplicaciones de enseñanza y materiales interactivos permite el acceso a experiencias educativas que fomentan la creatividad y el razonamiento crítico. Mediante estas herramientas tecnológicas, los niños tienen la posibilidad de indagar en conceptos abstractos de forma divertida, lo que les facilita el desarrollo de sus capacidades cognitivas y emocionales en un ambiente más activo y personalizado. La tecnología también promueve una perspectiva más creativa e independiente. La implementación de la tecnología en el salón de clases posibilita que los niños se involucren en tareas que potencian y desarrollan su creatividad, tales como el diseño gráfico, la música en línea o la elaboración de relatos interactivos. Estas vivencias fomentan un aprendizaje constructivista, donde los niños no solo absorben conocimientos, sino que también los generan, lo que potencia su seguridad y habilidad para resolver problemas. Al integrar la tecnología en el proceso educativo inicial, se potencia el desarrollo de habilidades esenciales para el siglo XXI, capacitando a los niños para afrontar los retos de un mundo cada vez más digital y mantenerlos actualizados.
