Get PDFThis research analyzes the incidence of refractive errors on the visual quality of the members of the Provincial Union of Professional Drivers of Los Ríos, in the city of Babahoyo. Refractive errors, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, are common visual impairments that affect visual quality and job performance, particularly in professions requiring precise vision, such as professional drivers. These conditions hinder reading traffic signs, perceiving distances, and identifying obstacles on the road, especially under low light conditions or during long work shifts. This study aims to determine the prevalence of these visual conditions and their impact on the visual quality of drivers. Refractive errors significantly affect the visual quality of professional drivers. These conditions reduce their ability to perceive essential details for safe driving, increasing the risk of accidents. The lack of regular visual check-ups exacerbates the problem, as many drivers work with uncorrected vision. Improving visual quality through timely diagnoses and corrections is crucial to ensure optimal performance and enhanced road safety. The results obtained will be useful in raising awareness among drivers and authorities about the need to implement prevention and correction programs for refractive errors, improving the visual quality of this professional group and contributing to better vision quality and road safety in the region.This research analyzes the incidence of refractive errors on the visual quality of the members of the Provincial Union of Professional Drivers of Los Ríos, in the city of Babahoyo.

No full textThis study analyzes the evolution of overdue accounts for urban properties within the GAD Municipal of Ventanas during the 2023 period, identifying its impact on financial sustainability and the execution of municipal projects. The accumulation of debt from property tax has generated limitations in resource availability, affecting budget planning and the municipality's operational capacity. The research is based on a mixed-method approach, combining financial data analysis with interviews with key officials to understand debt recovery strategies and the factors influencing tax delinquency. The results show a sustained increase in outstanding debt, with a significant rise in 2023, highlighting the need to strengthen collection mechanisms and optimize recovery processes. An improvement in debt recovery was observed compared to 2022, attributed to the implementation of strategies such as the Financial Relief Law and direct notifications to taxpayers. Despite this progress, challenges persist related to the lack of tax awareness, resistance to payment, and the need to modernize collection channels. The relationship between the efficiency of implemented strategies and the increase in the recovery rate is confirmed, demonstrating the importance of reinforcing municipal financial management to ensure budgetary stability and the provision of public services.This study analyzes the evolution of overdue accounts for urban properties within the GAD Municipal of Ventanas during the 2023 period, identifying its impact on financial sustainability and the execution of municipal projects.

El Estudio se desarrolló durante 8 semanas, se utilizó 48 unidades animales en etapa de cría, distribuidos en tres tratamientos frente a un tratamiento testigo con tres repeticiones dando un total de 12 unidades experimentales; se evaluó el Comportamiento Productivo y el análisis Beneficio Costo, distribuido bajo un Diseño Completamente al Azar (DCA), los resultados experimentales obtenidos fueron sometidos a un Análisis de Varianza para las diferencias (ADEVA), y Separación de Medias según Tukey a los niveles de significancia de (P ≤ 0.05 y P ≤ 0.01). Con la inclusión de cannabis (Cannabis sativa) como promotor de crecimiento. El estudio arranco con un Peso Inicial promedio de 394,75 (g) , en cuanto a la variable Peso final, Ganancia de peso, Conversión Alimenticia, Rendimiento a la Canal fue T3 con valores de 1228,32g; 813,33g; 3,98 y 68,33% respectivamente, seguido por T2 con 1216g; 753,3g; 4.08 y 67,33% finalmente T0 registraron los valores más bajos para cada una de la variables evaluadas con datos Pf.986 g; GPV 575,33g; C.A. 5 y RC del 65,78%); en la a relación Beneficio/Costo los mejores resultados se obtuvieron en el T3 y T2 que compartieron un valor de 2.06 razones suficientes para que el uso de cannabis puede ser considerado como promotor de crecimiento natural dentro de la producción de cuyes en el trópico los cuales ayuda a mejorar los parámetros productivos en la producción de cuyes
