Item Tecnología y educación; el papel de la Inteligencia Artificial en el proceso educativo de los alumnos de la Universidad de Cuenca(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas, 2026-01-23) Vintimilla Machuca, Xavier Israel; Tómmerbakk Sorensen, Elisabeth MartaItem La percepción de inseguridad en el uso del transporte público en las estudiantes de la Universidad de Cuenca en el año 2024(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas, 2025-10-31) Bermeo Andrade, Heydi Anai; Ochoa Amores, Paula Nohelia; Falconí Abad, María MonserrathThe perception of insecurity in public transportation is a social issue that disproportionately affects women, who face risks of violence in this setting. For this reason, it is crucial to understand how the student community of the University of Cuenca experiences and perceives this insecurity, considering their gender and the associated power dynamics. This study analyzes how female students at the University of Cuenca experienced and perceived insecurity in public transportation during 2024 from a gender perspective. A phenomenological method and a mixed design combining qualitative and quantitative techniques were used. Surveys were administered to 368 female students to collect quantitative data, while the qualitative component included five semi-structured interviews with users selected from different campuses and six observations at busy bus stops. The results indicate a concerning level of perceived insecurity in the use of public transportation, attributed to structural and cultural factors such as harassment and the lack of lighting and surveillance at bus stops during nighttime. These conditions negatively affect the emotional well-being of female students and limit their mobility. Such circumstances lead to adjustments in their schedules and reduced access to academic and extracurricular activities, reinforcing a persistent sense of vulnerability. Strategies employed by female students to mitigate perceived insecurity include traveling in groups, sharing their location through technology, or carrying self-defense tools that may be useful in certain situations. However, these measures are reactive responses and not definitive solutions.Item Estrategias socio organizacionales y de comercialización que inciden en la sostenibilidad de organizaciones productoras de leche en la parroquia Jima(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas, 2025-10-21) Zhunio Suqui, Diana Belén; Capelo Ayala, Delfa HumbertinaThis study presents the importance of the socio-organizational and marketing strategies of the livestock organizations of the Jima parish, considering that they are fundamental actors in the value chain of dairy production, facing influences of social and organizational variables that affect the incidence of their sustainability, justifying itself from a sociological approach, framed in a line of socio-economic analysis, contributing to scientific knowledge in a field where there are few studies from the social area. This study adopts a mixed approach, starting from the quali-participatory, focused mainly on the qualitative part, considering the quantitative as complementary. It is a descriptive case study design. Data collection was carried out through focus group and survey techniques, directed to active producers of milk production and marketing organizations. Sampling for the focus group was done randomly considering 6 representatives of the collection centers and a representative of the Gad Parroquial Jima; The results are presented by objectives with the use of Sankey diagram and SWOT analysis, considering that this research seeks to identify the socio-organizational and marketing strategies of the milk producing organizations, similarities and differences of strategies based on the literature with strategies of this study, in addition to strategic proposals for milk producing organizations that are part of this study.Item Factores y características de la deserción en estudiantes de la carrera de Sociología de la Universidad de Cuenca en el periodo 2022-2023(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas, 2025-10-22) Carchipulla Mora, Lisseth Silvana; Capelo Ayala, Delfa HumbertinaThe objective of this study is to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics and dropout factors in students of the Sociology major at the University of Cuenca in the 2022-2023 cohort. The research approach is qualitative, with a descriptive, explanatory and non-experimental design with a case analysis methodology, so the study population is the students who dropped out of the Sociology degree in said cohort, in which, intentional non-probabilistic sampling was used. The instruments used for data collection are the semi-structured interview for its corresponding coding and categorization using the ATLAS ti version 9 software. Based on the results obtained, the determining factors of dropout in students of the first two cycles of the sociology major at the University of Cuenca in the 2022-2023 cohort are: to a greater extent to personal factors, such as low vocational motivation and level of preference for choosing the Sociology major as a second option; academic factors since subjects with greater theoretical than practical weight predominate, which leads students to not have a greater understanding and motivation for sociology and as a last factor, due to the existence of cases of machismo, harassment, discrimination and normalized bullying among peers, Likewise, of the students surveyed who have suffered as those who have not, indicate that the classrooms of the degree are an unprotected space due to the presence of these cases in the classrooms.Item Análisis de la marginación social hacia las mujeres con trabajo informal en el sector 9 de Octubre durante el periodo 2023(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas, 2025-10-17) Cárdenas Segarra, Nancy Leonor; Zhimnay Valverde, Cristian FabiánThis research focuses on the reality of informal workers who work near the 9 de Octubre market in the city of Cuenca, a vulnerable and marginalized social group due to economic precariousness and lack of access to basic services. The study aims to analyze the strategies that these women need to deal with social exclusion, taking into account that work is informal, as a means of subsistence, without guarantees of stability and social protection. The research considered that social marginalization is persistent due to structural and socioeconomic factors that influence disproportionate behavior towards women in the informal sector. Given that it is necessary to carry out an analysis because women are the ones who run the greatest risk due to excessive responsibilities and discrimination at work. Statistical and theoretical data show that the increase in the number of informal workers and the high representation of women in this sector prove that the situation of exclusion and precariousness is worsening. Finally, a case study is carried out, working only from life stories and non-participant observation, thus describing their situation in the informal sector, identifying the factors that determine their exclusion and determining the main consequences of this problem.Item El sustento relacional de amigos y familiares en el proceso de rehabilitación de los usuarios del Centro Especializado en el tratamiento a personas con consumo problemático del alcohol y otras drogas "Voluntad y Fortaleza"(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-03-04) Jara Fajardo, Sandra Elizabeth; Pulla Pulla, Wilson Rodrigo; Álava Atiencie, Nubia GabrielaTo analyze the importance of family and friendly relationships of individuals facing alcohol and drug consumption issues, this study examined the situation of 32 users at the specialized center CETAD "Voluntad y Fortaleza" in the year 2022. The methodology employed was of a mixed nature, combining quantitative through surveys and change evaluation scale and qualitative approaches through the use of semi-structured interviews, it was found that the majority of users, in their current situation, considered themselves to be good individuals and had either good or regular relationships with friends and family. Understanding the problem and taking on specific responsibilities within the family sphere are crucial for the rehabilitation process, which is why users believed it to be a motivating factor for their recovery. Additionally, it was observed that each user is actively committed to taking steps to address and overcome their issues, seeking to improve their quality of life. Finally, socio-affective patterns in relationships with friends and family, in which active participation during and after leaving the rehabilitation center should be prioritized and worked on, were identified. The quality of the social circle is also vital, as being rehabilitated but remaining in the same addictive environment could lead to future relapses or ambivalence in the individual between the need for change and reverting to their previous status quo.Item Heteronormatividad y espacio público: un análisis sobre la población LGBTIQ+ y el espacio público en la ciudad de Cuenca en el año 2022(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-03-08) Morocho Robles, John Patricio; Loja Arizabala, Melissa Alejandra; Encalada Calle, Daniel AlbertoThe objective of this degree work is to understand the relationship between experiences in public spaces and the right to the city of the LGBTIQ+ population in the city of Cuenca. In this line, we analyzed the experiences, conceptions and factors that intervene in the use of public spaces by LGBTIQ+ people that led us to investigate how heteronormativity is established in public spaces. The research has a qualitative approach, its scope is descriptive and explanatory, the techniques for data collection were semi-structured interviews and nonparticipant observation, a type of snowball sampling was carried out and Atlas.ti was used in the processing. The results obtained show how heteronormativity determines the use and enjoyment of the LGBTIQ+ population within public spaces, due to the existence of a sociocultural construction that establishes heterosexuality as the correct way of being and inhabiting the different spaces within Cuenca. From analyzing the experiences and conceptions that this population has, we have identified acts of discrimination and different forms of violence that occur towards these people. Faced with this, the LGBTIQ+ population has taken strategies to avoid these situations, which consist of limiting their expression, use and enjoyment within these spaces, as well as generating spaces of struggle to exercise and access rights. It is within this framework that the experiences of the population and their right to the city are developed.Item “CONDICIONES PARA EL FORTALECIMIENTO Y ACOMPAÑAMIENTO ORGANIZACIONAL PARA LA VIABILIDAD DEL PLAN DE DESARROLLO LOCAL DE SAN CRISTOBAL EN EL PERIODO 2002-2003”(Universidad de Cuenca.

Due to a series of economic reforms and structural changes that have affected rural agriculture areas, there has been a strong tendency towards the modernization based on advances towards a modernization in favor of large food industries, causing changes in the lives of the peasants and their forms of social and political organization. By applying a sociological perspective with specific terminology that identifies the forms of organization, analyzes the political strategies, and understands the political ideologies, one can better understand the perspective of the peasant community. This qualitative investigation utilizes an ethnographic approach of combining structural data with observation and interviews of the entities that influence and conform the political organizational process of the peasants. In conclusion, there exists a strong presence of the state, both federally and locally (municipal) that limits the peasants political action, creating a dependent-cliental relationship of the peasants with the state. There levels of organization are based upon solving daily necessities because of their complex subaltern class conditions, generating a political potential that allows them to resist in front of determined conflicts like the presents of mining activity in their terroir’s. All though, as a limit, it does not allow them to question de political model they live in or the forms of capital exploitation present in the rural areas.Item Impacto de las redes de comunicación virtual en los hogares de los estudiantes de la Universidad de Cuenca(2017) Guzmán Rodríguez, Geovanny Leonardo; Zúñiga Moscoso, Eddy Fabián; Paño Yáñez, Pablo JoséThis research presents some results generated virtual social networks inherently in the homes of students from the University of Cuenca. From the income of the internet in our societies, we have lived simultaneously in two parallel and different worlds. A world "online", which puts us in front of a screen for hours. On the other hand, we have a normal life "off line" that very slowly seems to be losing the dialogue and interaction. Continued use of virtual social networks, has generated positive and negative changes in the social and academic life of university students; practically, the social environment of young people has been damaged, leaving out many of the activities previously performed with family and friends.Item "Índice de Fortalecimiento Organizacional de Recursos humanos de (UPCICJ-JATARI), Cañar"(Universidad de Cuenca.
