La Prueba y la cadena de custodia en los procesos por accidentes de tránsito
(Click Académico, 2026-01-09)
Redrobán Barreto, William
El presente artículo analiza el papel que cumplen la prueba y la cadena de custodia en los procesos penales por accidentes de tránsito en el Ecuador, entendidas como garantías centrales del debido proceso y de la seguridad jurídica. A partir de una investigación cualitativa, basada en la revisión de normativa, doctrina y jurisprudencia, en especial del Código Orgánico Integral Penal y de los protocolos técnicos del sistema de investigación, se constata que el país dispone de reglas claras sobre el tratamiento de los elementos materiales de prueba. Sin embargo, en la práctica persisten dificultades asociadas a la forma en que se aplican estas normas: deficiencias en la capacitación del personal, limitaciones logísticas y fallas en los procedimientos diarios debilitan la eficacia real de la cadena de custodia. Estas falencias se vuelven especialmente visibles en los accidentes de tránsito, donde la rapidez en la intervención, la técnica empleada y la preservación adecuada de los indicios resultan decisivas para esclarecer responsabilidades. El estudio concluye que reducir la distancia entre lo que la ley exige y lo que realmente se hace en la escena del siniestro es imprescindible para que el proceso penal sea legítimo y efectivo.

Sujetos procesales y la representación de la naturaleza en sede jurisdiccional: Análisis jurídico de los desafíos para su defensa efectiva como sujeto de derechos
(International Foundation for Education, Science and Technology (FIECYT), 2026-01-05)
Espinosa Ordóñez, José Luis
;
Villacres Lopez, Jorge Mateo
La Constitución del Ecuador de 2008 marcó un cambio histórico al reconocer a la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos, inspirándose en la cosmovisión indígena andina y principios filosóficos como la relacionalidad y el biocentrismo. Este enfoque rompe con la visión antropocéntrica tradicional, proponiendo una relación de respeto y reciprocidad entre el ser humano y el entorno natural.Desde esta perspectiva, la naturaleza es un ser vivo con valor intrínseco, cuya protección es un deber colectivo. La Constitución establece que cualquier persona, comunidad u organización puede representarla legalmente, ampliando la legitimación activa para su defensa. Casos como los de los ríos Vilcabamba, Chiribunga o el bosque “Los Cedros” demuestran cómo estas normas pueden aplicarse en la práctica, consolidando la jurisprudencia ambiental en Ecuador. Aunque se han logrado avances significativos, persisten desafíos en la implementación efectiva de estos derechos. Se necesita fortalecer las instituciones, crear defensorías especializadas, capacitar operadores de justicia y promover una educación ambiental basada en el respeto a la naturaleza. Además, es esencial garantizar la representación jurídica adecuada de los ecosistemas, reconociendo el rol clave de pueblos indígenas y organizaciones sociales. A nivel internacional, experiencias similares han surgido en países como Colombia, India y Nueva Zelanda, evidenciando una tendencia global hacia el reconocimiento de la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos. En todos los casos, la participación ciudadana y el rol activo del poder judicial han sido fundamentales. El constitucionalismo ecológico ecuatoriano propone una nueva racionalidad jurídica centrada en la vida y en la interdependencia de todos los seres, buscando equilibrar desarrollo y sostenibilidad a través de una ética ambiental sólida y una acción legal efectiva.

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.

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.

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 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.

Sánchez Salazar, Marcelo
;
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.

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.

(2023)
Miranda, Alba
;
Carreño S.
;
Vera J.
Nowadays, dietary and physical health is as important as general health problems. Several web and mobile applications try to cover health care to provide better food and physical conditions for users, but approximately 90% of these are paid. The objective of this research was to develop HealthLife. This open-source web system makes it easier for users to obtain meal and exercise plans, complemented with the help of professionals in each of these areas. The methodology was divided into two parts: on the one hand, a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) was used for the bibliographic study; on the other hand, a novel software development methodology called OSCRUM was used to carry out the development tasks in an orderly and rigorous manner, facilitating the speed of these tasks and thus obtaining a quality web system. The result was the development of an open-source web system focused on controlling food and physical health. This web system is designed responsively so that it can be used correctly from any device such as a laptop, tablet and/or cell phone, thus helping the user to visualize their progress in health control from any electronic device. In addition, this web system offers users attention via chat with the professionals in charge of their subscribed plan. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AS A MECHANISM FOR THE EXERCISE OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(2023)
Gamboa Vargas S.L.
;
García Erazo, Erika
;
Villacrés Salas M.P.
This article addresses the scope of the right to citizen participation contained in the jurisprudence of the Inter-American System and analyzes the partition mechanisms incorporated in the Ecuadorian State. The objective of this article is to analyze the scope of citizen participation as a right and the constitutional mechanisms available in Ecuador since the 2008 reform. The research is developed from the analytical methodology, as it aims to perform an inductive analysis to describe and understand the variables presented and is qualitative in nature. The research questions guiding the elaboration of this research are: What are the scope and inter-American standards for the protection of the right to participation? And what are the mechanisms of participation recognized in the Ecuadorian constitution of 2008? From the analysis carried out, it has been determined that although the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court addresses citizen participation as a mechanism of participatory democracy that tends to establish similarities with direct democracy, the Ecuadorian Constitution and in particular the Organic Law of Citizen Participation clearly establishes different types of mechanisms for the exercise of this right, being the broadest and most specific national legislation with respect to this right. © 2023, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.
