The article explains as background that the management of Occupational Safety and Health is a challenge for organizations seeking to be more competitive by being recognized for their socially responsible approach, the professional damages derived from the materialization of occupational accidents entail a series of problems at a personal, family and social level that generate a negative impact on the environment. In this sense, the objective is to investigate the evolution of occupational accident rates by geographical zones of Ecuador, using the database of the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security and identifying the associated variables during the period from 2015 to 2021. Through a comparative and correlational statistical analysis of the qualified accidents according to the study variables, it was possible to determine that the geographical areas of Ecuador with the highest occupational accident rate are zones 5 and 2 (73%), where there are also the highest number of qualified accidents from manufacturing industries (23.72%), occurring in the workplace (63%). The sex that presents the greatest number of qualified accidents is male and the parts of the body that suffer the greatest injury are the upper limbs (35%). Finally, it is concluded that in order to improve occupational safety in organizations, it is necessary a commitment between the state, employers and workers, key actors for the generation of a culture of prevention based on various strategies. © 2023 IEEE.

The Fractional Brownian Model, Applied in the Credit Placement of the Popular and Solidarity Financial Sector
(2023)
Sánchez Montero, Ivanna Karina
;
Tipán, Diego
Previous studies have extensively explored the application of Fractional Brownian Motion in the financial systems of countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using Fractional Brownian Motion in credit placement within the popular and solidarity financial sector, specifically in the Savings and Credit Cooperatives of segment 1.A comprehensive analysis was conducted on historical credit placement data from this sector over time, and the Fractional Brownian Motion model was implemented to simulate placement patterns. Several parameters, such as the Hurst exponent, were estimated. The results showed that the application of Fractional Brownian Motion in credit placement within the popular and solidarity financial sector improved the accuracy of credit risk assessment. It revealed long-term dependence patterns and captured the inherent dynamics of the sector. The model demonstrated higher predictive power and better portfolio risk management capabilities compared to conventional methods. The findings suggest that Fractional Brownian Motion is a valuable tool for credit placement analysis, as well as for improving credit risk assessment and portfolio management dynamics. Implementing this model can lead to more accurate credit decisions, fostering the country's economic development. © 2023 IEEE.

The objective of this research work is to study the business size of the construction sector in Ecuador through the application of a panel data econometric model. It seeks to identify the factors that influence the growth of this sector. The study population is construction companies active in Ecuador, according to the ISIC F classification, in the period 2018–2021. A methodology is used that includes a descriptive analysis to establish the behavior of the sector variables, as well as a correlational analysis to measure the significance of these variables in relation to growth. In addition, a panel data model that applies the assumption of fixed effects is used to verify Gibrat’s Law, which establishes that all companies have the same probability of growing regardless of their size. In conclusion, a significant relationship was found between sales and business size and growth in the construction sector in Ecuador. However, Gibrat’s Law is rejected in this case study

In this research, the objective was to determine the optimal financial sustainability model for manufacturing SMEs in zone 3 for the years 2017 - 2020. For the development of the study, 107 medium and small companies that met the requirements of complete information obtained from the Superintendence of Companies, Securities, and Insurance were taken into account. Observation sheets were used to classify the information in the financial statements and allow understanding of their financial situation by applying the solvency prediction models, Z-Altman, Springate, Fulmer, and CA-Score. In the analysis of the financial indicators of manufacturing, SMEs evidenced a strong correlation with their financial sustainability, especially in the year 2019. A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the four models of financial sustainability is made, for the selection of the most optimal model. In addition, a SWOT analysis was performed in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each of them, so, it is revealed that the most optimal and reliable model is Springate, due to its multidimensional approach, adaptability for manufacturing SMEs, simplicity and ability to provide a clear and truthful score. However, it is always advisable to consider the specific context of other models to each company.

The immigration law as a right: History of normative asymmetry
(2019)
Oliván F.
;
Luque A.
The purpose of this text is to analyze the importance of rights of aliens, taking as a guiding thread a historical journey. From an etymological starting point, necessary to know the nexus and origin of the present risks, we analyze the current interconnections and their relations, namely the globalization of migratory processes. The origins, causes and effects of a global citizenship, which is articulated based on a normative asymmetry, are analyzed in a substantive way. Inevitably, this reality leads towards the construction of a new social architecture, remotely controlled by supranational organisms at the service of particular interests. © 2019 Revista Espacios.

The effect of real wages on the basic family basket in Ecuador is a crucial issue in understanding households’ economic well-being. The real wage, which considers inflation and purchasing power, directly affects the ability of families to purchase essential goods and services. Analysis of this relationship provides insight into families’ challenges in meeting their basic needs and the potential implications for poverty and inequality in Ecuador. The study's objective is to analyze the purchasing power of the Ecuadorian population through data on real wages and basket costs from 2000 to 2021. The data analyzed comes from the Central Bank and INEC databases. The results indicate a sustained increase in the basic basket throughout the 2000–2021 period, which shows an increase in the prices of goods and services throughout the country. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
