Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un sitio web en la empresa experta.
El caso de estudio que se presenta aquí analiza la problemática de la empresa Experta, la cual enfrenta dificultades para posicionarse en su sector debido a la falta de presencia digital en la web y la dependencia de métodos tradicionales de ventas, a pesar de ofrecer productos de calidad, el alcance que tiene está un poco limitado a su tienda física, lo que evidencia una desventaja grande frente a sus competidores con estrategias digitales. Una desvinculación tecnológica ha generado frustración en el equipo de trabajo y pérdida de clientes, la dueña reconoce la importancia de un sitio web, sin embargo, la falta de conocimientos técnicos y el temor al cambio, así como también sus recursos limitados han impedido su implementación a lo digital. En este estudio se propone desarrollar un análisis relacionado con el movimiento a la web para Experta que le permita optimizar procesos clave como la gestión de ventas y envíos, además de mejorar la visibilidad y tener nuevos clientes; se utilizó una metodología de Kendall & Kendall, que evalúa aspectos técnicos, económicos y operativos, donde se identificó además que la opción más viable es un hosting nacional por su bajo costo inicial. Desde el punto de vista económico, implementar una solución le representa una inversión accesible estimada entre 2,950, para automatizar procesos como pagos y gestión de pedidos que incrementará la eficiencia operativa sin demandar grandes riesgos. Las conclusiones señalan que la implementación del sitio web es indispensable para que Experta alcance competitividad en el mercado actual, por lo que se sugiere capacitar al personal en la administración del sitio y utilizar campañas de marketing
Ataques de Ransomware en el sector financiero, estrategia de prevención, contención y recuperación.
This study focuses on the evaluation of ransomware mitigation strategies in one of the most vulnerable sectors, the financial sector, due to the sensitivity of the information it handles. Ransomware attacks, which encrypt critical data and demand a ransom from the victim, have increased significantly, and have become a sophisticated threat, especially the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. The purpose of this work is to study the performance of financial institutions in relation to cyberattacks and the prevention, containment and recovery practices that can be implemented to protect against ransomware attacks. The common threats that stand out are phishing, Man-in-the-Middle and the use of RaaS. All of them are a consequence of the lack of training in cybersecurity and technical vulnerabilities such as lack of updates or poor network configuration. Despite technological advances, the human factor remains the most vulnerable link in protection against ransomware attacks. The analysis shows that the most effective prevention strategies are updating software, creating regular backups, and segmenting networks, with an effectiveness of between 90% and 97%, while in the containment phase the most effective techniques were the rapid isolation of infected devices and changing compromised passwords, in the recovery phase we found that restoring protected backups was most effective with 98%.This study focuses on the evaluation of ransomware mitigation strategies in one of the most vulnerable sectors, the financial sector, due to the sensitivity of the information it handles.

Los ataques de ransomware, que encriptan datos críticos y exigen un rescate a la víctima, han aumentado de forma notable, y se han convertido en una amenaza sofisticada, sobre todo el modelo Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS). El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad estudiar la actuación de las entidades financieras en relación a los ciberataques y las prácticas de prevención, contención y recuperación que pueden poner en marcha para protegerse frente a los ataques de ransomware. Las amenazas comunes que destacan son el phishing, el Man-in-the-Middle y el uso de RaaS. Todas ellas son consecuencia de la falta de capacitación en ciberseguridad y de las vulnerabilidades técnicas como la falta de actualizaciones o la mala configuración de la red. A pesar de los avances tecnológicos, el factor humano sigue siendo el eslabón más vulnerable en la protección contra los ataques de ransomware. El análisis muestra que las estrategias de prevención más eficaces son la actualización de software, crear copias de seguridad periódicas y la segmentación de las redes, con una efectividad de entre un 90 % y un 97 %, mientras que en la fase de contención las técnicas más efectivas fueron el aislamiento rápido de dispositivos infectados, y el cambio de contraseñas comprometidas, en la fase de recuperación encontramos que la restauración de copias de seguridad protegidas obtuvo la mayor efectividad con un 98 %

Acción Sinérgica de levadura (Saccharomyce cerevisiae) y flavonoides extraídos de la cascara del cacao (Theobroma cacao. L) como mecanismo de inhibición de crecimiento de Listeria monocytogenes
This research aimed to evaluate the synergistic action between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and flavonoids extracts obtained from the exocarp of cocoa (Theobroma cacao. L), with the purpose of inhibiting the growth of Listeria monocytogenes under controlled laboratory conditions using a 3x3 experimental design with three repetitions for each treatment. The methodology involved processes dehydration, enzymatic inactivation and grinding of the cacao peles to obtain a pure extract. The extraction process was carried out through a maceration using a solvent with acetona (60%) and wáter (40%). This extract was used for the quantification of total flavonoids by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. In parallel, microbiological tests were conducted to evaluate the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes using the agar diffusion technique, observing inhibitions halos that depended on the concentrations of yeast and flavonoids. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using Anova and Tukey`s test, which revealed significant differences that confirmed the combination of both compounds has antimicrobial effects. Furthermore, it was observed that the inhibition halos at lower concentrations (400 µg/ml and 10^4 CFU/ml) were smaller, whereas the highest concentration (800 µg/ml and 10^6 CFU/ml) produced larger halos. These findings indicate that the synergy between cacao flavonoids and Saccharomyces cerevisiae may serve as a natural alternative for the control of Listeria monocytogenes in processed foodsThis research aimed to evaluate the synergistic action between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and flavonoids extracts obtained from the exocarp of cocoa (Theobroma cacao.

Impacto de los precios elevados de ciertos productos en la satisfacción del cliente en la Empresa Dismero S.A., periodo 2023.
This research evaluates the impact of high prices on customer satisfaction in Dismero S.A., a company that has operated in Babahoyo since 2005 and has four branches. Using a mixed-method study that surveyed 266 customers, conducted interviews with staff members, and conducted direct observations, a distinctive segmentation in price perception was noted among various socioeconomic levels of consumers. The analysis indicates that 41% of customers have difficulties accessing moderately priced products. However, there appears to be more stable demands for premium products. When examining the competition, it was evident that they had some price differences that were more than 0.25 above the market, especially on fast-moving items such as Maggi mayonnaise, Valdez sugar, Cocinero oil and various other necessities such as rice and beans. This case study indicates that 45% of participants stated that they cannot actively adapt to new market needs, therefore the strategies associated with these market-driven price levels and promotions must also change. However, the company continues to set higher standards when it comes to operational maintenance of cleanliness, order, stock availability, customer service and courteous treatment.This research evaluates the impact of high prices on customer satisfaction in Dismero S.A., a company that has operated in Babahoyo since 2005 and has four branches.
