Objective: To identify beliefs about breast self-examination according to the “Health Belief Model Scale for Breast Self-Examination” in students from the Catholic University of Cuenca – Campus Azogues. Methodology: An observational, quantitative, descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional study was conducted. “Google Forms” was used, applying a stratified convenience sampling method among students (women older than 18 years old); statistics such as SPSS and descriptive statistics were used for the analysis. Results: The total number of participants in the study was 321 female students. Of those surveyed, 96.6% were single, 182 studied medicine and nursing, the academic terms presented a homogeneous distribution, 91% had no family history of cancer, 75.1% knew about self-examination, and 76.0% had not performed BSE in the last month, with a statistical correlation between the university level and BSE. The dimensions show a high level of efficacy, seriousness, barriers, and benefits, a moderate perceived susceptibility, and low health motivation. Conclusions and relevance: Breast self-examination represents one of the procedures that allows for the identification of warning signs in the breast. In the results found at the University, women mostly know about it; however, they do not practice it, making it necessary to implement programs that encourage its practice.

It is based on the premise that death does not completely extinguish the legal relevance of the human being, since the corpse, human remains, and burial spaces remain linked to values such as post-mortem human dignity, the memory of the deceased, and the right of their relatives to mourn. In this context, the objective is to determine how the absence of an express criminal classification in Ecuador affects the protection of these legal interests. Based on the analysis carried out, it is evident that the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code does not provide for an autonomous criminal offense for the desecration of graves, unlike the Spanish legal system, which does establish a specific regulation for such conduct. This omission generates a regulatory gap that limits the criminal response to acts that violate the respect owed to the dead and to funerary spaces, forcing reliance on indirect legal mechanisms that prove insufficient. In conclusion, the lack of express criminal classification in Ecuador results in deficient protection of post-mortem human dignity and the rights of relatives, which justifies the need to incorporate a specific criminal regulation that guarantees comprehensive protection.
