Artificial intelligence has transformed educational environments by facilitating processes such as information retrieval, assisted writing, automated feedback, and personalized tutoring. Within university settings, the adoption of technologies capable of autonomously generating content has increased rapidly, becoming a common academic resource for students. However, this accelerated integration poses ethical challenges, particularly when such tools are used without a clear understanding of their implications. This study aimed to examine how students’ emotional attitudes (affective), understanding (cognitive), and practical use (behavioral) of AI relate to their ethical engagement with these technologies. A structured questionnaire was administered to 833 university students in Ecuador. The instrument showed excellent internal consistency (α = 0.992; Ω = 0.992), and the validity analyses confirmed that the dimensions measured distinct but related constructs. ChatGPT was reported as the most used tool (62.2%), followed by Gemini and Siri. The structural model indicated that emotional and cognitive dimensions substantially influenced ethical behavior (β = 0.413 and β = 0.567, respectively), whereas frequent use alone exhibited no significant effect (β = −0.128; p = 0.058). These results suggest that ethical engagement with AI is primarily driven by reflection and knowledge rather than habit. This study contributes to the literature by modeling how different learning dimensions shape ethical behavior in AI use and underscores the relevance of aligning academic practices with socially responsible uses of emerging technologies.

This research focused on developing a mobile application in Meta-verse augmented reality to improve the learning of notable products, factoring, and linear equations in ninth-grade students of the intercultural bilingual educational unit of the millennium “Pueblo Kisapincha” based on the notional method. The methodology applied was quasi-experimental and longitudinal, where related samples were compared using a diagnostic test versus a subsequent evaluation of knowledge. The sampling technique was by non-probabilistic convenience comprising 25 students and 15 teachers to whom a structured questionnaire was applied to determine the predisposition to work in the classroom with augmented reality, which was validated with Cronbach's alpha statistic (α = 0.844). The students’ scores improved significantly after participating in both evaluations, with the post-evaluation being the one that showed the highest score according to the Bayesian T-test applied to related samples. A proposal of activities was designed to motivate the study of algebraic expressions; this product was implemented considering the ADDIE instructional model, guiding each movement with its respective resolution process as a form of feedback. The proposal was evaluated by two experts in technology and two experts in education with more than ten years of experience. In conclusion, developing an augmented reality mobile application in Metaverse to improve the learning of introductory algebra proved to be a valuable and effective tool to contribute to student learning. The mobile application provided an interactive and engaging learning experience, so it is recommended to incorporate this mobile application in the curriculum of the Kisapincha educational unit and its possible implementation in other similar educational institutions. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

THE SCOPE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTRIBUTIVE CAPACITY IN THE ECUA-DORIAN LEGAL TAX REGIME
(2023)
Ochoa L.J.A.
;
Barrera E.P.S.
The main objective of the research was to determine the importance of the principle of contributive capacity in the national legal tax system, in order to contribute to avoid the affectation to the patrimony of the taxpayers, and at the same time the proliferation of elusive and evasive figures in the face of the excessive taxation. With the 2008 Constitution, the tax system is governed by principles that set the basis for the creation, modification and extinction of taxes, which are established in Article 300, in which, although the principle of contributive capacity is not expressly included, it is immersed in the tax principles of equity and progressiveness. Therefore, the legislator will determine the taxpayer’s taxpaying capacity. This research applies the qualitative methodological approach and methods such as analytical-synthetic, historical-logical and inductive-deductive. © 2023, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.

THE ACTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN DIGNITY AS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT FROM A NEOCONSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
(2023)
Barona Villafuerte, Paulina Del Carmen
;
Martell S.S.Z.
;
Rivas K.G.S.
The main objective of this article is to analyze relevant aspects of modern constitutional theory or neo-constitutionalism, focusing on those related to the guarantee of human dignity, the action of protection and the direct application of fundamental rights between and by individuals, with special attention to the concept and manifestation of human dignity, and the main controversies that all this raises. A qualitative methodology, bibliographic type, is used. The aim is to elucidate how this theory underlies the legal system and whether the implementation of the guarantee theory, together with the regulation of interrelationships between private parties, could cause an intrusion in aspects “regulated by” and “proper to” Private Law. The research was divided into seven sections in order to develop and discern the various sides of the issue. After the introduction, private law and its relationship with neo-constitutionalism and political legal guaranteeism are addressed; after this, concepts and theories related to fundamental rights are reviewed. In addition, the action of protection will be briefly analyzed, as regards the safeguarding of human dignity as seen from Constitutional and International Law. Finally, some important controversies in this regard are enunciated. © 2023, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez. All rights reserved.

Predicting Academic Performance in Mathematics Using Machine Learning Algorithms
(2022)
Espinosa Pinos, Carlos Alberto
;
Ayala-Chauvin, Manuel Ignacio
;
Buele, Jorge
Several factors, directly and indirectly, influence students’ performance in their various activities. Children and adolescents in the education process generate enormous data that could be analyzed to promote changes in current educational models. Therefore, this study proposes using machine learning algorithms to evaluate the variables influencing mathematics achievement. Three models were developed to identify behavioral patterns such as passing or failing achievement. On the one hand, numerical variables such as grades in exams of other subjects or entrance to higher education and categorical variables such as institution financing, student’s ethnicity, and gender, among others, are analyzed. The methodology applied was based on CRISP-DM, starting with the debugging of the database with the support of the Python library, Sklearn. The algorithms used are Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), and Random Forest (RF), the last one being the best, with 92% accuracy, 98% recall, and 97% recovery. As mentioned above, the attributes that best contribute to the model are the entrance exam score for higher education, grade exam, and achievement scores in linguistic, scientific, and social studies domains. This confirms the existence of data that help to develop models that can be used to improve curricula and regional education regulations. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

THE RIGHTS OF CROSS-BORDER WORKERS: SOCIOECONOMIC AND LEGAL REALITY ON THE ECUADORIAN BORDER
(2022)
Montenegro de la Cruz C.R.
;
Molina Torres, María Victoria
Workers who work in the territory of one Member State and reside in the territory of another Member State, to which they return every day, or at least once a week, are known as cross-border workers. But this way of working also has its drawbacks. The situation can be complex for both the worker and the employer. For the worker, these are inconveniences that can lead to divorce, estrangement, expenses, etc. For companies, the inconveniences include controlling travel expenses, complying with immigration laws, ensuring social security and reaching an agreement with the employee on the days to be spent at work and at home. The objective of this research is to analyze the judicial competence and the principle of effective judicial protection to protect and guarantee the rights of cross-border dependent and self-employed workers. When there are labor disputes between the employer and the workers, which border country is responsible for regularizing these rights? The methodology applied was a qualitative approach, using inductive methods, case studies and the technique used was that of interpretation of the law. © 2022, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.

COLLECTIVE RIGHTS AND THE NON-BINDING NATURE OF PRIOR CONSULTATION
(2023)
Moya M.I.C.
;
Hidalgo L.R.M.
The term Nation-State is related to various types of government within a given constituency, being subject to rights and du-ties, in addition to establishing as the main state assignment, the respectful coexistence between each of the individuals that comprise it. The historical celebration of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador of 2008, considered as a guarantee, due to the great catalog of rights that it promulgates, introduced precepts such as interculturality and plurinationality, reflected as a reflection of the historical struggle of vulnerable groups. The state’s disrespect for the non-binding nature of prior consultation against Collective Rights will be analyzed in this paper through a qualitative research modality, using scientific methods such as documentary, analytical and inductive bibliographic review. With which it is possible to conclude that the collective rights and the consideration of the results of the prior consultation in a mandatory manner, is not considered by the Ecuado-rian State, showing the urgent need to achieve an effective protection of the aforementioned right, as well as, to integrate the real binding character within the consultative process. © 2023, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.

Chávez, Roberto
Objective: The purpose of this work is to explore aspects related to document management and information management practices in companies located in Ecuador, highlighting the importance of adhering to current legal provisions. Design/Methodology/Approach. This study will be based on theoretical and methodological foundations obtained from the bibliographic review carried out, which will allow a detailed analysis of best practices, emerging technologies and current challenges faced by organizations in this area. The search covered a wide variety of works published in English and Spanish between 1999 and 2023. 53 relevant works were identified, resulting in 48 being chosen for detailed analysis. As a result, a final sample of 46 works was obtained that provided valuable and relevant information for the study in question. Results/Discussion. When the analysis of the specific laws and regulations that govern document management and information management in the business environment is addressed, its vital importance for the effective functioning of the business sector in Ecuador is revealed. This covers privacy laws, data protection, sector regulations and any legislation that relates to the retention and disposal of documents. Thorough understanding and adherence to these regulations is crucial to safeguarding the integrity and privacy of information, as well as avoiding legal sanctions. Conclusions. A comprehensive assessment of how companies comply with current legal provisions regarding document and information management requires investigations that delve into the review of internal policies, procedures and business practices. This is done for the purpose of determining whether compliance with applicable regulations is guaranteed, thus ensuring that information management is carried out in an ethical, legal and efficient manner. Originality/Value. By understanding and efficiently applying document management, companies not only comply with legal requirements, but also boost their operational performance and stay ahead in a dynamic and highly competitive business environment. This comprehensive approach not only ensures compliance with laws and regulations, but also enhances adaptability and innovation, essential for sustained success in today's business landscape.

OBSTETRIC VIOLENCE WITHIN SOCIAL SECURITY, A CASE STUDY OF THE ECUADORIAN CONTEXT
(2024)
Santamaría Velasco, Juan Pablo
;
Velasteguí Meléndez, Emily
Gender violence is a recently made visible social phenomenon. One of the types of mistreatment of women is obstetric violence; phenomenon that has not been fully understood. This research aims to analyze obstetric violence in light of the Ecuadorian case, through a qualitative methodological approach and techniques that are based on bibliographic, casuistic, normative and doctrinal review. The case to be analyzed reaches the Constitutional Court of Ecuador through a constitutional mechanism called review of sentences. The Constitutional Court of Ecuador rules on binding jurisprudence for the legal system of Ecuador, setting an important precedent at the regional level. The Court appropriately measures this type of mistreatment of women, and also establishes a clear difference between health services and health rights. Pregnant women belong to what the Ecuadorian Constitution calls priority attention groups. The work carefully addresses legal figures that have not been fully developed in the Ecuadorian context.

THE POPULAR AND SOLIDARITY ECONOMY AS A MANAGEMENT REGIME IN COMMUNITY TOURISM
(2022)
Barrionuevo Núñez, José Luis
;
Cárdenas Paredes, Karina
Currently, the Popular and Solidarity Economy has been taking an important role in society, since it reflects the human being as a subject and an end to perform various social activities. This research seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the Popular and Solidarity Economy regime, instituted in Ecuador, to manage the supply of community tourism in the country. The volume of commercial credit and microcredit placed annually by the entities of the Popular and Solidarity Financial System was used as a control variable for the evolution of the annual number of organizations dedicated to the provision of tourism services under the regime examined. The simple linear regression on this data set was carried out using the R 4.0.5 language in the IDE RStudio 1.4.1106, and yielded the result that both variables behave in a linearly independent manner. This leads to the conclusion that the Popular and Solidarity Economy regime, in order to be effective with respect to the national community tourism offer, would need to be reformed or its implementation strengthened. © 2022, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.
