Resistencia y Acritud de Pasteurella multocida en gatos domésticos (felis catus) en cuatro clínicas veterinarias del sur de Cuenca
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Tinoco Suscal, Mateo Fabián; Aguilar Caivinagua, Santiago Andrés; 0105993687
Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen of high relevance in public health; however, information on its antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles and virulence factors in domestic cats is limited. This study aims to contribute to understanding these critical aspects, which are fundamental for developing effective strategies to prevent and control zoonoses. This study evaluates the AMR and virulence factors of P. multocida isolated from the oral mucosa of Felis catus in four veterinary clinics in southern Cuenca. Fifty oral mucosa samples were collected using sterile swabs, and susceptibility to 10 commonly used antimicrobials in veterinary medicine was analyzed. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry was used to confirm the specific presence of Pasteurella multocida and bacterial load. The results will reveal the AMR profiles and virulence factors of the isolated strains, evaluating their potential zoonotic impact and implications for public health. This research will significantly contribute to the knowledge of the epidemiology of P. multocida in felines, identifying effective antimicrobials, those with resistance, and the present virulence factors. This research will significantly contribute to the knowledge of the epidemiology of Pasteurella multocida in Felis catus populations, identifying antimicrobials with therapeutic efficacy and those for which resistance is evident, as well as virulence factors.

Trastorno de ansiedad en mujeres víctimas de violencia de pareja.
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Calozuma López, Angie Nayely; León Prieto, María Elizabeth; 0750519324
Introduction. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is cataloged as a conflict that requires global attention due to the increase in intimidation experienced by the female population through their spouse or partner. Its importance lies in the psychological consequences associated with the presence of anxiety disorders that generate difficulties in women's well-being. Objective. To describe the presence of anxiety disorders as a consequence of intimate partner violence. Methodology. A descriptive literature review was conducted using digital databases from the Catholic University of Cuenca, including Scopus, Web of Science, Redalyc, and Google Scholar, focusing on articles published within the last five years that addressed women between the ages of 18 and 25. Development. Anxiety disorders and intimate partner violence have long been linked, with fear, dread, and excessive worry being common expressions of the aversive situations experienced by women, reflecting the presence of mental disorders and difficulties in women's well-being. Conclusion. Anxiety disorder in women due to violence constitutes a complex challenge involving psychological and social aspects. Traumatic experiences resulting from emotional, physical, and sexual intimidation leave a significant mark on mental well-being, triggering symptoms of anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and other related disorders. Addressing this issue through a comprehensive approach, including psychological, social, and legal support, is essential.
Legislación de la maternidad subrogada en el Ecuador desde una perspectiva de género: un conflicto jurídico o una disputa ética
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cordero Medina, Luciana; Vallejo Cárdenas , Paola Priscila; 0107622094
Surrogacy is a legal and social phenomenon that has generated intense debate in human rights, reproductive autonomy, and comparative law. In Ecuador, the lack of precise regulation has created legal gaps that affect the legal security of gestational mothers, intended parents, and, primarily, the rights of children born through this technique. This study addressed the possible inclusion of surrogacy in Ecuadorian law from a gender perspective, analyzing its impact on the protection of fundamental rights and the challenges posed by its regulation. This research examined the implications of surrogacy on the dignity of women, the child's parentage, and potential economic exploitation. Three main approaches were identified through the analysis of international legislative models: total prohibition, regulated altruistic surrogacy, and regulated commercial surrogacy. In this regard, this study highlights the need to incorporate a comprehensive regulatory framework in Ecuador that guarantees the best interests of the child, establishes protection mechanisms for surrogate mothers, and prevents the commodification of the female body.
“Evaluación de la Percepción de la Calidad del Servicio y su Impacto en la Satisfacción del Cliente: Un Estudio de Caso en el Bar Restaurante 'Como en Casa Street Food' en el Cantón Paute”
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Condo Once, Diana Lizbeth; Espinoza Pillaga , Héctor Alejandro; 0105891196
This study evaluated the perception of service quality and its impact on customer satisfaction at the "Como en Casa Street Food" bar restaurant in Paute. Key service quality dimensions, such as security, reliability, empathy, responsiveness, and tangibles, were analyzed using a quantitative survey approach. The results revealed that security is the most influential variable in customer satisfaction, with a significant impact (p < 0.0001) and an explanatory power of 30%. Overall satisfaction also showed a significant effect (p = 0.0021), indicating that improvements in dimensions such as reliability and empathy are crucial for the overall perception of the service. Differences in satisfaction were identified according to age groups, highlighting that older adults value safety more, while young adults have inverse perceptions. Despite the availability of delivery services, most customers prefer to enjoy the experience on-site. It is recommended that management implement safety audits, standardized protocols, and soft skills training to improve service quality and foster customer loyalty. This study provides a solid basis for understanding the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction in the restaurant sector.
