A descriptive study of quantitative court was to determine the factors thataffect the poor academic performance of students in the educational unitJosé Isaac Montes – Ecuador was performed. They participated in the study29 teachers and 250 parents of the institution. For the study a measuringinstrument (survey) with appropriate questions was developed to determinethe purpose of the study. It showed that more than 50% of teachers do notreceive techniques learning methodology and training in the area of learning,it also showed that over 50% of the parents of those students with poor academic performance, do not perform reinforcements educational as well astake control of the homework.Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte cuantitativo que tuvo como propósito determinar los factores que inciden en el bajo rendimiento académico de los alumnos de la Unidad Educativa José Isaac MontesEcuador. Participaron en el estudio 29 docentes y 250 padres de familia de la institución. Para el estudio se elaboró un instrumento de medición (encuesta) con preguntas idóneas para poder determinar el objetivo del estudio.

ANÁLISIS DE CAPACITACIÓN EN LAS MIPYMES DEL CANTÓN QUEVEDO PROVINCIA DE LOS RÍOS - ECUADOR

Este artículo muestra el análisis de la capacitación en las Mipymes del Cantón Quevedo - Ecuador. Los datos utilizados son el resultado del procesamiento de cuestionarios aplicados a los gerentes y/o propietarios que viven en la zona de estudio. Se aplicó un muestreo aleatorio probabilístico simple para el procesamiento de datos (136 cuestionarios). Se analizó la actividad económica y tamaño de las Mipymes; capacitación, necesidades de capacitación e institución que les proporciona la capacitación. Los resultados muestran que el 50,00% de las Mipymes en Quevedo son de corte comercial; el 91,59% corresponden a la categoría de microempresas; apenas el 9% de los gerentes y/o propietarios capacitan a su personal por medio de la empresa privada en un 81,80% y se conoció que el área de mayor demanda fue la administración en un 45,16 por ciento.PALABRAS CLAVE: Mipymes; capacitación; actividad económica; gerentes.ANALYSIS OF QUALIFICATION IN THE MIPYMES OF THE CANTÓN QUEVEDO PROVINCE OF THE RIVERS - ECUADORABSTRACTThis article shows the analysis of the qualification in the Mipymes of the Cantón Quevedo - Ecuador.

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

The organic fertilizers in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and the impact on yield and its components

The use of organic fertilizers in the fertilization of crops is an alternative to the problems generated by the intensive use of chemical fertilizers. The objective of this research was to evaluate the application to soil of organics fertilizers compared with a control treatment with chemical fertilization on the yield and its components in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Treatments consisted in to apply worm humus, water hyacinth compost, a mixture with 50 % worm humus and 50 % of water hyacinth compost, and a chemical control. It was evaluated fruits quantity per harvest, fruit length, diameter and fruit weight per harvest and yield. Results showed that the plants that were supplemented with worm humus, followed by worm humus + water hyacinth they had significantly better response with respect to the length, diameter and weight of the fruits

Organic fertilizer and its effects on the growth and development of tomato crop (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Organic fertilizers are one of the alternatives in the group of products used in sustainable agri-culture, mainly what is obtained from organic sources of recyclable nature as compost and vermicompost. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of organic fertilizers on the growth and development of tomato plants. The treatments were vermicompost, water hyacinth, and the combination 50 % vermicompost and 50 % water hyacinth control, using a completely randomized design with five replicates. The work was conducted at the Experimental Center La Playita, belonging to the Technical University of Cotopaxi La Maná extension and plant height, number of fruits, fruit diameter, fruit weight was measured. The results showed that the use of organic fertilizers in tomato plant height stimulated with 114.64 cm, number of fruits with 4.08 fruits, fruit diameter with 7.96 mm and weight of 226.50 g fruits, tomato plant
