Item type: Ítem , Access status: Embargo , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Gordillo Chuchuca, Bryam RolandoThis study analyzed the susceptibility of university students at the Universidad Católica de Cuenca to simulated phishing campaigns developed with and without the assistance of generative AI. A quantitative, applied, and descriptive-comparative study was conducted through four types of controlled campaigns sent to 12,220 students: “Pending Payment AI,” “Pending Payment Without AI,” “Unrecognized Login AI,” and “Unrecognized Login Without AI.” Indicators such as open rate, clicks on sent emails, clicks on opened emails, and reports of the email as suspicious were analyzed. The results showed an overall open rate of 28.13% and an overall click rate on sent emails of 13.87%. Emails written with generative AI recorded a click rate of 16.64%, compared with 11.10% for emails without AI with a risk ratio of 1.50. The “Pending Payment” scenario was the most effective. The findings suggest that generative AI can increase the effectiveness of social engineering attacks in university environments and highlight the need to strengthen training, periodic simulation, and an institutional reporting culture. Keywords: Generative artificial intelligence; simulated phishing; social engineering; university cybersecurity; student susceptibility; cybersecurity awareness.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Abuso sexual infantil: consecuencias biopsicosociales y formas de intervención psicoterapéutica.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Piña Delgado, Verónica Samantha; Tapia Orellana, Roxana MichelleIntroduction: Child sexual abuse is a public health issue with significant biological, psychological, and social consequences that may persist into adulthood, substantially affecting the well-being and quality of life of survivors. Objective: To analyze the biopsychosocial consequences of child sexual abuse and the main forms of psychotherapeutic intervention supported by scientific evidence. Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted through a descriptive literature review using a systematic search strategy. Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis were consulted. Scientific articles published between 2014 and 2025 in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, related to Clinical Psychology, psychological trauma, and psychotherapeutic intervention, were selected. Results: The empirical evidence reviewed showed that child sexual abuse is associated with biological, psychological, and social impairments, as well as anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and difficulties in functioning and interpersonal relationships. Various evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches were subsequently examined, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, the systemic approach, and complementary strategies aimed at promoting the emotional recovery of survivors. Conclusion: Child sexual abuse has complex and long-lasting biopsychosocial consequences that significantly affect survivors’ overall development and mental health. Furthermore, the findings underscore the importance of specialized, trauma-informed psychotherapeutic interventions to promote psychological recovery and psychosocial adjustment.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Tipos de acoso escolar y la depresión en adolescentes(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Aguilar Narbay, Lisbeth Carolina; Vélez Quezada, José LuisBullying has a significant impact on adolescents’ mental health, manifesting in both direct and indirect ways, and is closely linked to levels of depression. Objective. To analyze the relationship between different types of bullying and depression among adolescents in school, defining both forms of aggression and assessing levels of depression related to victimization by bullying. Methodology. A descriptive and qualitative literature review was conducted through systematic searches of scientific databases, using controlled descriptors from the MeSH and DeCS thesauri and Boolean operators. Studies published between 2021 and 2026 were included, with study populations consisting of adolescents aged 10 to 19. Results: The findings showed that direct bullying was more common among males, particularly verbal and physical aggression, while indirect bullying, such as cyberbullying and relational bullying, predominated among females. Both forms were associated with mild-to-severe depressive symptoms, including self-harm and suicidal ideation. Self-esteem, social support, and emotional regulation acted as protective factors and mediating variables. Conclusion: A close, multifactorial relationship was demonstrated between the various forms of school bullying and the presence of depression among school-aged adolescents. These results highlight the need to implement well-structured preventive strategies tailored to the type of bullying, age, and gender, considering the family context, the educational environment, and mental health services, with an emphasis on early detection.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Efecto de la infidelidad en el deseo y satisfacción sexual en parejas adultas.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Minchala Quito, Janneth AnabelThis study aimed to analyze the effect of infidelity on sexual desire and satisfaction in adult couples through a literature review. Infidelity creates complex experiences within romantic relationships because it undermines various aspects of emotional well-being through its impact, significantly influencing sexual desire and satisfaction while affecting the couple’s bond. Evidence indicates that infidelity affects a couple’s intimacy and alters sexual desire in a wide variety of ways: most commonly, the betrayed partner feels that sexual desire decreases, although some react with increased sexual activity or experience significant conflicts in their sexual relationship. These changes depend on factors such as the role each partner plays in the relationship, attachment style, gender, the motivations behind the betrayal, and the emotional resources available to cope with it, creating a reciprocal relationship in which sexual dissatisfaction can lead to infidelity and, in turn, infidelity gradually erodes trust, emotional closeness, and sexual well-being. Although the emotional impact of infidelity has been extensively studied, relatively little is known about how the sexual desire of the betrayed partner evolves over time; therefore, further studies are needed to examine this process in the short, medium, and long term, while also taking into account diverse cultural realities, sexual orientations, and life stages, with a special focus on the Latin American context.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Implementación de un sistema de inventario y catálogo web responsivo para pequeñas empresas comerciales(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Tarqui Tapia, Kevin AndrésIn small retail businesses, tracking products, inventory, and sales often relies on manual or scattered records, while the information provided to customers is disseminated through messages, social media, and in-person inquiries. Therefore, this research aimed to develop a responsive web system that integrates administrative inventory management with a public product catalog. A technological and evaluative approach was applied, with incremental development based on an adaptation of the Scrum framework and a client–server architecture. The solution was developed using React, TypeScript, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, and deployed using containerized services in separate environments. The results include the definition and fulfillment of functional and non-functional requirements, the design of a relational model, and the implementation of modules for users, business structure, catalog, inventory, sales, and traceability, as well as a public interface with search, filters, availability, and customization features. The system’s operation was validated through automated testing, operational validations, and usability evaluations in both administrative and public contexts. It is concluded that Stockify centralizes operational information, maintains inventory traceability, and provides customers with an organized and responsive catalog for browsing available products.
