Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , La lex artis como criterio de imputación objetiva en la mala práctica médica ecuatoriana desde la vigencia del COIP (2020–2025)(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Sharup Taish, Anahy LaurienHealthcare malpractice poses a challenge for criminal law doctrine, as it requires objective criteria to determine when medical conduct gives rise to criminal liability and how the harmful outcome is normatively attributed to such conduct. The general objective of this research is to analyze lex artis as a reference for objective imputation in healthcare malpractice cases in Ecuador, with emphasis on the breach of the duty of care, the normative attribution of harm, and the protective purpose of the standard of care. To fulfill this objective, a qualitative, analytical, descriptive, and documentary approach was adopted, based on legal doctrine, legislation, and the study of eleven criminal cases selected during the period from 2020 to 2025, without claiming comprehensiveness. The findings indicate that lex artis should be considered a valuable criterion for objective imputation when establishing negligent offenses in the context of medical malpractice. This study also proposes a sequential test that incorporates the protective purpose of the standard of care and legal review of the expert report, so that criminal adjudication is not limited to endorsing the expert’s opinion.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Igualdad de armas en el procedimiento directo: transformación de diligencias como reforma al COIP(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Benenaula Ramón, Fernando JavierArticle 640 of the Comprehensive Organic Penal Code (COIP, by its acronym in Spanish) establishes a twenty-day deadline between the determination of flagrancy and the trial hearing. However, the announcement of evidence must be done up to three days prior, leaving a seventeen-day timeframe for the submission of evidence, without allowing exceptions when the case depends on a complex expert appraisal. This study analyzes whether such rigidity impacts equality of arms employing a qualitative approach with an explanatory and policy-proposing scope. Data and source triangulation is used, complemented by comparative law and the sub-principle of necessity of the proportionality test. The findings reveal an evidentiary inequality between the prosecution and the defense. The state forensic service itself admits that its complex analysis units do not issue reports during flagrancy proceedings. In a case external to the corpus, not even the Prosecution, with the full state apparatus at its disposal, managed to obtain the expert appraisal within the allotted time. The conceptual contribution of this work is the category of institutionalized defenselessness, conceived as the infringement of the right to defense stemming from the rigidity of the statutory design. A proposal is made to add a clause to Article 640 allowing for a conversion to ordinary proceedings upon the request of either party when expert evidence cannot be completed within the deadline.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Villalta Yuqui, Deysy JasmínItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Ordoñez Carrión , Nayeli KatherineItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Responsabilidad Civil por Calumnia e Injuria en Redes Sociales: Análisis Comparativo de la Protección del Honor y Buen Nombre entre Ecuador y España (2018-2024)(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2023) Palacios Hurtado , Karla PaulinaSocial media has revolutionized human interaction, by allowing people to cross borders digitally. However, this innovation carries significant risks that threaten fundamental principles such as honor and good reputation, which, as they are linked to human dignity, significantly affect people’s reputations through insults and false accusations. The circulation of personal information on virtual platforms can lead to emotional consequences such as stress, depression, and decreased self-esteem. As a result, several countries, including Ecuador and Spain, have developed legal regulations aimed at protecting the privacy, honor, and personal integrity of citizens. These regulations establish protection and redress mechanisms that seek to restore peace of mind to the victim. Protection and redress mechanisms include corrective measures, such as compensation and the removal of malicious content that may affect privacy and personal integrity, aimed at raising awareness and promoting digital responsibility within society. This balances content shared on social media, limited freedom of expression, and the protection of fundamental rights within a safe and ethical virtual environment.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Tanguila Saritama , Yaleni LauraItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Domínguez Sari , Juan DaríoItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Morocho Cungachi , José TomasItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Barreras para la aplicación efectiva de la conciliación en procedimientos ejecutivos por letra de cambio: Estudio de casos en el cantón Azogues, Ecuador (2022-2024)(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Velecela Sumba , Steven GeovannyIn the canton of Azogues, during the 2022–2024 period, the caseload in Civil Courts has increased significantly due to the growth of executive proceedings. This increase has caused delays that compromise the principles of procedural speed and economy. Although conciliation is constitutionally recognized, its use in executive proceedings for bills of exchange is limited, largely due to diverse barriers that impede its practical implementation. This study aimed to identify and characterize the legal, procedural, and institutional barriers that limit the application of conciliation in executive proceedings for bills of exchange. This process was developed by analyzing regulations and sentences to propose improvement actions that optimize its utilization. The research was developed under a qualitative approach as it was theoretically grounded in conciliation and the barriers to its application, using documentary and content analysis techniques. As a result of the analysis of 20 sentences, various barriers to the application of conciliation in the executive proceedings were identified. Additionally, as a contribution, it was established that a study should be conducted by the Council of the Judiciary for the implementation of rooms or cubicles with trained conciliators in the different parishes of Azogues.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Análisis de la compatibilidad constitucional de la Ley Orgánica de Inteligencia del Estado Ecuatoriano (2025) con el derecho fundamental a la intimidad(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Chica Pauta , Sue FernandaThis research analyzes the constitutional compatibility of the Organic Law on Intelligence of the Ecuadorian State (2025) with the fundamental right to privacy, using a qualitative methodology of normative-constitutional analysis. The study examines the configuration of the right to privacy in the 2008 Ecuadorian Constitution and its development in case law, evaluates international standards of protection against intelligence activities, and applies the proportionality test to the law’s most controversial provisions. The results demonstrate significant structural tensions between the powers of communications interception and constitutional guarantees of privacy. The application of the proportionality test reveals that the regulations do not exceed the sub-principles of necessity, suitability, and strict proportionality, while establishing mechanisms for direct access to institutional databases that prioritize operational efficiency over constitutional safeguards. Comparative analysis highlights institutional deficiencies relative to standards developed by other Latin American and European legal systems. The research proposes specific criteria for constitutional compatibility, including prior judicial authorization, strict time limits, independent oversight, and effective mechanisms for comprehensive redress to strengthen the balance between the protection of fundamental rights and national security.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Quizhpi Narea , Priscila EulaliaItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Guamán Mizhirumbay, María LourdesItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Zhuño Zhingre , Marilyn YarilizItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Jaramillo Sisalima , Jenny EstherItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Reyes Quezada, Dayanara JacquelineItem type: Ítem , Access status: Embargo , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Aguilar Celi, Juan RamónItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Vázquez Chacón, Cristian LeonardoItem type: Ítem , Access status: Embargo , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Ramos Uriarte, Francisco XavierItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , El principio interespecie como fundamento del estatus jurídico de animales no humanos: análisis dogmático de la Sentencia no. 253-20-JH/22 del caso 'Mona Estrellita(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2025) Quezada Beltrán, Mateo SebastiánThe paradigm of the rights of non-human animals constitutes a necessary legal challenge that requires elucidating the foundations that allow for the creation of transcendental mechanisms for the conservation, preservation, and maintenance of wildlife. In this regard, this paper analyzes the dogmatics of the interspecies principle through the study of Sentence No. 253-20-JH/22 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. The main objective is to analyze the doctrinal basis of the interspecies principle in light of the legal criterion of the previously cited sentence. The methodology of this study was based in a qualitative approach, which analyzes a set of conceptual, dogmatic, and doctrinal particularities that contribute to generating an understanding of the main parameters in which the construction of the criteria emitted in this study is elucidated. The results and conclusions allow for the determination that it is important to effectively elucidate the rights corresponding to non-human animals, establishing guidelines that contribute to promoting actions for the conservation, preservation, and maintenance of life. It is imperative to establish the construction of legal guidelines that contribute to conservation plans, programs, and projects.
