Estara disponible a la fecha de publicacion o de cierre de embargo(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026-03-19) Medina Vintimilla, Paulo Esteban; Vintimilla Yascaribay, Andrés Fernando; Nieto Cárdenas, Jaime Xavier; 0302565643; 0302610050Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Efectividad de cirugía electiva versus cirugía de urgencia en el manejo de la obstrucción intestinal por adherencias: revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Padilla Padilla, Segundo Luis; Saquicela Espinoza, Luis Alberto; 0302914189Background: Intestinal obstruction due to adhesions represents one of the most frequent complications, with an incidence that varies around 30%; therefore, its management remains a challenge, particularly when deciding between elective surgical intervention and emergency surgery. While emergency surgery is associated with a higher risk of perioperative complications, elective surgery may allow patient optimization, but with a potential increase in morbidity and mortality due to delayed treatment. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of elective surgery versus emergency surgery in the management of intestinal obstruction due to adhesions. Methods: This systematic review will follow the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, which will help ensure the quality of this review. In addition, different health-related determinants will be used to conduct an exhaustive search for information. Results: Elective surgery demonstrated higher effectiveness with 74.3% therapeutic success versus 25.7% failure requiring emergency intervention, a reduction of perioperative complications (54% vs 46%), lower surgical recurrence (11–30% vs 21–50% in multiple emergency surgeries), and significantly reduced hospital stay, which doubles in emergency surgeries, with an average of 13.8 days. These findings confirm superior effectiveness of elective surgery in stable patients without intestinal ischemia, although both procedures present specific risks that must be individualized clinically.

A survey was administered to measure key attributes, aspects, and indicators of COEAD and MCS. The data collected were analyzed with SmartPLS 4, which was used to develop, analyze, and validate a structural equation model and an equation showing a direct and strong relationship between COEAD and MCS. Employees’ identification with SMEs plays a key role in shaping the COEAD. Productivity, commercial, external, financial, and accounting indicators, as well as the implementation of quality and budgetary control, cost accounting, internal auditing, strategic planning, and human relations, largely reflect what occurs within the MCS of SMEs. In short, an MCS, together with the active participation of senior management teams (SMTs), is fundamental to the organizational and economic success of SMEs.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de titulación embargado para publicación. Estara disponible a la fecha de publicacion o de cierre de embargo(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026-03-19) Quinteros Paguay, Walter Stivent; Toledo Toledo, Jorge Fernando; 0302487517Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , El error de tipo y su viabilidad jurídica en el delito previsto en el artículo 171 numeral 3 del COIP.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Argudo Ordoñez, Romulo Daniel; Monsalve Robalino, Bernardo Xavier; 0150478477This study analyzes the legal admissibility of a mistake of fact regarding the victim’s age in the offence of rape under Article 171(3) of the COIP, following the express recognition introduced in 2019 under Article 28(1). Adopting a doctrinal and documentary approach, it examines criminal intent in sexual offences against minors under fourteen, the role of age as an objective element of the offence, and the irrelevance of consent as a rule protecting sexual integrity. It argues that punishment is only legitimate if it is grounded in culpability and supported by sufficient evidence, such that the mere determination of the victim’s age does not replace the analysis of the offender’s knowledge. The study reviews national case law to identify the criteria used to accept or reject a mistake as to age and contrasts them with Peruvian case law, which provides guidelines for assessing the plausibility of the defendant’s belief in light of the factual context. It concludes that an invincible (i.e., unavoidable) mistake, when duly proven, excludes intent and, given the absence of a negligent form of the offence of rape in Ecuador, its proper treatment prevents convictions lacking subjective criminal responsibility.
