Criminal participation in femicide: authorship and complicity subject to specific conditions of the criminal type

Since femicide is a crime doctrinally classified as special, it is constituted by specific conditions, which must necessarily be met by the perpetrator of the crime now of its consummation. However, when there is participation of several active subjects in the illegal act, now of verifying the actions for the determination of authorship or complicity, there is a lack of configuration of specific conditions and thus confusion to determine the appropriate criminal type. In this context, in this article a doctrinal and legal analysis of the criminal definition of femicide and criminal participation was conducted with the objective of determining what degrees of participation exist in femicide and consequently what conducts are susceptible to a different appreciation. The research was conducted through a qualitative approach, hand in hand with legal-historical, legal-descriptive, and legal-propositive research methods. The results demonstrated that according to the wording of the Organic Integral Penal Code with respect to participation, in harmony with the theory of dominion of the act, all degrees of participation exist in femicide except for that referred to in article 42, paragraph 2, letter d. From this, it was possible to conclude that the determining element for the solution of problems of participation in femicide is the study of the subjective and objective elements that make up the theory.

Cultural assets at risk: a study from the legal framework and communication in Ecuador

Introduction. Effective communication of this reality is essential, based on a general review of the regulations that support combat actions regarding this issue, but also its weaknesses in terms of sanctions and knowledge of the procedures to follow. Objective. This academic work analyzes the illicit trafficking of cultural property in Ecuador, to make the problem visible from the legal field. Methodology. In this context, the qualitative approach has been used based on the use of the bibliographic review technique regarding the topic of national legislation. Likewise, it includes the interview directed at an INPC official and an official at the National Investigation Unit for Crimes Against the Right to Culture (Unidcul), Specialized Unit for Investigations of Crimes Against Cultural Heritage UEIDCPC. Results. The main findings reveal that national legislation still presents gaps related to concepts such as flagrancy and in terms of coordination between entities to streamline sanction procedures. Conclusion. It is concluded that, despite the efforts made at the national and international level in this matter, the illicit trafficking of cultural property continues to be a significant activity conducted by organized criminal groups. This is a problem that must not only be addressed through citizen awareness campaigns about the value of preserving cultural property, but also through the strengthening of national legislation, among other measures.

Intraprocedural tax mediation: ¿A mechanism to eliminate the criminal presumption established in the determination document?

Introduction: Alternative dispute resolution methods have intruded in most of the branches of law and the tax field has not been the exception, so its application is not intended to limit the competence of the judge to hear a dispute, but to complement and make effective its resolution. This research begins by analyzing the regulations in force in Ecuador and how it is developed in the tax scope in relation to the elimination of the criminal presumption established in the determination act, based on the review of bibliographic sources and the internal regulation. The possibility of incurring in intra-procedural tax mediation will be identified, in relation to the criminal types that affect the development regime, and the effectiveness of the ADR, in relation to the compensation of the damage caused to the State. In addition, the perception of foreign regulations will be described, which will serve to guide the application of these procedures. Objective: To analyze the intraprocedural tax mediation as a mechanism that could eliminate the criminal presumption established in the determination act. Methodology: The hypothetical-deductive method was applied, focusing on the approach of a hypothesis related to a vision of application of the object of study, assessing the acceptance or refutation of the process based on the grounds.  Results: It is shown that upon determining the criminal presumption established in the determination act, it may not be eliminated through the intraprocedural mediation process in ordinary proceedings; however, said conflict could be resolved with the conclusion of the transactional act, before the conclusion of the fiscal instruction stage, in certain criminal types that are related to the tax area, considering that there is the possibility in criminal types that do not exceed five years of deprivation of liberty. Conclusions: Intraprocedural tax mediation can be held according to the guidelines established in the internal norm, since, conciliation does not have a specific development, therefore, the guidelines in terms of foreign regulations will be relevant for an adequate development of such procedure.

Dyslipidemias after home isolation in times of pandemic in workers of the Admiral Illingworth Naval Academy College

Introduction: Dyslipidemia defined as an increase in blood lipids (cholesterol and/or triglycerides) is considered one of the main cardiovascular risk factors. Objectives: determine the association between sedentary lifestyle and Dyslipidemia in the workers of the Admiral Illingworth Naval Academy. To identify if there are variations in the mean values ​​of triglycerides and/or serum cholesterol before and after the SARS COV 2 quarantine. It was evidenced that there is an association between dyslipidemia and the level of physical activity with a p value of 0.000, being statistically significant. Methodology: this is a non-experimental, correlational study in that it is proposed that there is a correlation between home isolation and the increase in the prevalence of dyslipidemia. Results: variations were evident in terms of the average increase in cholesterol and triglycerides, being 7.79 mg/dl of cholesterol and 30 mg/dl of triglycerides. Furthermore, an association was demonstrated between dyslipidemia and the level of physical activity with a p value less than 0.05, being statistically significant. Conclusions: in the analysis of the variations, it was observed that there was an average increase of 7.79 mg/dl of cholesterol and 30 mg/dl of triglycerides before and after the pandemic, the p value < 0.05 with statistical significance. According to the values, it was determined that there is an association between sedentary lifestyle and dyslipidemia of workers since most of the population studied has a level of mild physical activity.
