Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Estilo del entrenador y su incidencia en el disfrute deportivo: revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Ajila Ordoñez, Kevin AlexanderThe relationship between coach leadership style and its impact on sport enjoyment has generated growing interest in the scientific literature. This study aimed to analyze the scientific evidence on coach leadership style and its impact on sport enjoyment through a systematic review based on the PRISMA guidelines. Method: The search was conducted in the Scopus, SciELO, and PubMed databases, considering articles published between 2021 and January 2026 in Spanish and English. During the eligibility process, 270 studies were identified; 25 were removed for duplication. Subsequently, after reviewing titles, abstracts, and full texts, studies that did not meet the established inclusion and exclusion criteria were excluded. Finally, 15 articles were selected for qualitative analysis. The results show the presence of transformational, democratic, autonomy-supportive, and authoritarian controlling styles. The autonomy-supportive style predominated due to its positive relationship with self-determined motivation, psychological well-being, group cohesion, and sport enjoyment. Likewise, transformational leadership promotes social identity and athletes’ commitment. On the other hand, controlling and authoritarian styles are associated with psychological pressure, demotivation, and lower sport enjoyment. In conclusion, coach leadership style significantly influences the quality of the sports experience and the continued participation of athletes in physical activity. Keywords: coach leadership style, sports enjoyment, leadership, sports participation.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Propuesta arquitectónica de anteproyecto con enfoque en regeneración urbana efímera para revitalización del parque lineal de Paute, Azuay(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Alvarado Pérez, Jonnathan FernandoThis study proposed an urban regeneration intervention in the Paute Linear Park, located in the province of Azuay, Ecuador, prompted by the evident deterioration of its green spaces, outdoor furniture, and recreational infrastructure, resulting from inadequate public management and insufficient maintenance. The limited sense of ownership among residents and visitors further contributed to this situation. In response to this problem, the objective was to develop a preliminary architectural design proposal based on ephemeral architecture strategies, aimed at temporarily revitalizing the park through versatile modules, flexible furnishings, and cultural installations. The methodology included a physical and functional assessment of the park, an analysis of the institutional impact on the social perception of the space, and the implementation of cultural activation strategies that promote daily use, universal accessibility, and the strengthening of the social fabric. As a result, an architectural proposal was developed, consisting of temporary multifunctional modules that included gathering spaces and recreational areas, along with landscape improvement strategies. These strategies were designed to strengthen citizens’ sense of ownership of the space, encourage its daily use, and contribute to the revitalization of the site as an active space within the Paute Canton.Item type: Publicación , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Peralta Barrera, Paulo Cesar; Auquilla Carbajal, Camila AnetteItem type: Publicación , Access status: Acceso Abierto , El impacto de la cobertura mediática en la preservación del principio de inocencia y la objetividad judicial en el sistema penal ecuatoriano(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Lozada Astudillo, Rosa ElviraThis article examines the dichotomy between freedom of information and the presumption of innocence within the Ecuadorian criminal justice system, focusing on the phenomenon of the trial by media, understood as the construction of narratives of guilt by the media prior to the issuance of a judicial ruling. Media coverage is analyzed through two high-profile cases in Ecuador: the Sharon case and the David Piña case. The study aims to determine how the mediatization of criminal proceedings and the social pressure generated by journalistic narratives may influence judicial impartiality and the reasoning underlying judicial decisions. Preliminary findings suggest that the widespread dissemination of value judgments and evidence not presented in court undermines the substantive dimension of the presumption of innocence, thereby affecting effective judicial protection. The study proposes the establishment of ethical limits and communication protocols to ensure a balanced relationship between the right to inform and respect for due process. Keywords: presumption of innocence, media coverage, due process, impartiality, trial by mediaItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Estilos de vida y riesgo de deterioro cognitivo: Estudio Transversal en adultos mayores(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Arias Solis, Erika Alejandra; Rocano Brito, Mayra GabrielaBackground: Lifestyle factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and social participation, influence the risk of cognitive impairment. However, evidence in older adults from rural areas of Ecuador is limited. Objective: To analyze lifestyle behavior patterns and their association with cognitive decline in older adults from rural communities in the canton of Cuenca. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 316 older adults from the rural parishes of Sinincay, Ricaurte, and El Valle (Cuenca, Ecuador), selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Lifestyle patterns were identified through latent class analysis, and cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination. The association between these two variables was analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Results: Three lifestyle classes were identified: High Control–High Engagement (44.6%), High Control–Low Engagement (48.1%), and Low Control–Low Engagement (7.3%). The High control–High engagement group showed a lower risk of cognitive decline. In men, belonging to the High Control–Low Engagement class was associated with a higher probability of cognitive decline (OR = 17.0; 95% CI: 2.13–135.7). Conclusions: Low participation in physical and social activities was associated with a higher risk of cognitive decline. Community interventions that promote active aging and social participation are needed, especially among rural men. Keywords: lifestyle behaviors; cognitive dysfunction; cognitive impairment; older adults; rural population.
