La mediación como herramienta para resolver conflictos intrafamiliares en el cuidado de adultos mayores enfocado en el Ecuador.

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Jiménez Jiménez, Alyson Nicole; Calle Masache, Nube Catalina; 0105348676

In the country, there are families who face disagreements regarding the distribution of responsibilities for the care of the elderly, and in these cases, a lack of application of mediation to resolve them is observed. This becomes a challenge when generational differences affect perceptions of caregiving, ultimately causing family tensions. Mediation aims to improve communication and relationships among family members by creating a space where they can express themselves and reach a solution. The situation of dependency does not negatively impact all families; however, in those it does, it ends up affecting the quality of life of the elderly, the caregivers, and family cohesion. Therefore, it is presented as a tool aimed at reducing negative feelings, confrontation, and discord among family members, while also providing a space for the elderly to participate in the process.

Propuesta de diseño interior interactiva para la Biblioteca Víctor Manuel Albornoz del Museo Pumapungo

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Jarama Ramón, Tatiana Gissela; Estévez Abad, Fausto Giovanny; 0107358863

The “Víctor Manuel Albornoz” Library is part of the “Pumapungo” Museum in the city of Cuenca. This institution belongs to the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. It is considered an important component in storing and preserving the historical, intellectual, and cultural heritage of the city and the Ecuadorian region. Its primary function was to become an educational space for the museum's visitors; however, its evolution has led it to be considered a cultural research center. Considered a site of relevance, a spatial analysis has shown that the institution is in an inappropriate functional and aesthetic state and is not adapted to meet the population's needs. Therefore, an interactive interior redesign has been proposed to provide comfort for library visitors and administrative staff, incorporating a technological approach linked to the digital era. The methodological process used was based on Bruce Archer's model, considering research aspects and international and local references to generate a new proposal using ergonomic and comfortable elements, applying an eclectic style based on Wabi Sabi and contemporary trends, tailored to the institution's context and the museum.

Análisis de la prueba plena en contravenciones de tránsito por conducción en estado de embriaguez en Cuenca-Ecuador durante el 2023

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Aguilar Samaniego, Alejandro Sebastián; Culquicondor Vivanco, Axel Isaac; Pinos Jaén, Camilo Emanuel; 1105999799; 0953481959

This research analyzed the rulings for contravention offenses related to driving under the influence of alcohol in Cuenca, Ecuador, during 2023, identifying the evidence that judges use as conclusive to sanction such behavior. To this end, it was based on regulations, legal doctrine, and jurisprudence regarding evidence, due process, rationale, and data collection instruments such as questionnaires applied to rulings. This allowed for data processing that facilitated the tabulation of the resulting information, yielding the index of processes per month, the gender and age of the defendants, the defense strategies employed, and the evidence used to establish responsibility. Finally, through the analysis of the data and its findings, this research identifies inconsistencies in the rulings regarding the deduction of points from driver's licenses for specific periods, confusion between types of evidence—breathalyzer test and blood alcohol test—and the use of evidentiary means considered in legal doctrine as circumstantial evidence being treated as conclusive proof.

Análisis crítico del artículo 267 del Código del Trabajo Ecuatoriano de los derechos y obligaciones de los herederos del empleador frente a los de las y los trabajadores domésticos

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Zhau Tenesaca , Hillary Nicole; Romaní Sarango, Marlon Alexander; Sánchez Urgilés, Andrés; 0150795474; 0750017360

This study examines the issues raised by Article 267 of the Ecuadorian Labor Code, which establishes the continuation of domestic service contracts through the heirs of the deceased employer. This scenario presents various practical challenges for the application of Article 267 and also contains contradictions within the same legal framework, alongside constitutional and international principles concerning fundamental human rights. Through this analysis, it is argued that Article 267 of the Labor Code infringes upon various rights of both heirs and domestic workers, disregarding essential elements of contract law and fundamental human rights. In this regard, it is asserted that repeal is the most viable option to preserve fair and equitable labor relations, as well as the fundamental human rights of the parties involved.
