Introduction. Ecuador is a megadiverse country made up of various peoples and nationalities. The Shuar Culture stands out in this diversity. The term Shuar, in their language, means “human being”, over time the periods of marginalization and exclusion that the members of this culture have gone through are recognized, until today where they stand out for their cultural values ​​that make them a recognized population in the country. The research carried out is based on assessing the importance of rescuing traditional games of the Shuar culture as a viable alternative to promote the processes of social and educational inclusion of this population group with emphasis on students with disabilities. intellectual. Aim. Design a system of traditional games based on the traditions of the Shuar culture as an alternative for the inclusion of students with mild intellectual disabilities in the Physical Education class. Methodology. The research followed a qualitative, quasi-experimental approach, supported by theoretical and empirical methods and techniques such as observation and interviews. The sample comes from the CECIB Valle del Río Pastaza Educational Center in the Peas community, in the province of Pastaza, made up of 13 fifth grade students of Basic Education, among which 3 students have mild intellectual disability. Results. 1.

Introduction: Work Center Training (FCT) is a training period in a company that all technical high school students must complete once they have successfully completed the study plan taught in the Educational Unit. The FCT represents the first incursion into the world of work of the production system, at least as far as the professional figure is concerned and comes from the so-called dual education. Objective: to analyze the incidence of workplace training in technical high school students, with the purpose of understanding how this practice contributes to the development of skills and its benefits. Methodology: The focus of this research was quantitative. The methods that were applied were the analytical-synthetic. The research technique was the survey using a questionnaire with questions on the Likert scale, with 10 items for the students. The data were processed in SPSS. The study was carried out at the “Nueva Concordia” Educational Unit, with a group of 101 students from the third technical baccalaureate of the professional figure of Agricultural Productions and Accounting by means of a non-probabilistic causal sampling. Results: to interpret the incidence of the FCT student group in relation to the insertion in companies of third-year high school students, it was necessary to calculate the average of the total scores of each student according to the intervals set out in the tables, obtaining a favorable influence in learning. Conclusion: the training of work centers had an impact on high school students, improving the employability skills of young people and strengthening the connection between education and the world of work.

Introduction. the purpose of this work is to present alternatives to reduce the electrical power consumption in a pumping station by means of different control algorithms to increase the efficiency of irrigation water supply systems at the lowest possible cost. During the different tests conducted with V/f algorithms, the open-loop quadratic control presented a better performance in terms of power consumption for different flow rates. The study employed research methods including data collection, inductive-deductive analysis, and measurements to evaluate the impacts on power consumption between the different algorithms used, where the results highlight that the quadratic V/f control presents a higher reliability in relation to the response to disturbances. This result not only improves system performance but can also have substantial benefits in terms of operating costs and long-term sustainability. Objective. evaluate the performance of different V/f control algorithms to determine their efficiency in relation to power demand in open-loop irrigation pumping installations to reduce system complexity and cost. Methodology. it is an applied and field research with quantitative and exploratory character, where the data collection obtained with experimental procedures in a pumping installation that allows to evaluate different types of V/f control with the use of techniques such as observation and comparative causal study, to establish trends in energy consumption with the application of the inductive method for different working flows of a centrifugal pump. Results. the tests performed in the pumping station with different V/f algorithms of a variable speed drive, reveal that the quadratic control stands out for its efficiency in power consumption and its ability to respond more effectively to disturbances, also the flow reduction has a lower impact on the deterioration of the power factor compared to the other controls evaluated. The steady state error in the response of the controllers was similar and acceptable in all cases, but the response of the quadratic algorithm is faster and when scaled to an irrigation pumping installation with variable flow, this leads to a significant reduction in power consumption. Conclusion. the V/f quadratic control mode of the SIEMENS 420 drive due to its lower power consumption and its ability to improve pumping system performance and response time can be used in irrigation supply stations with variable flow rate, where its implementation can maximize efficiency and reduce operating and implementation costs, making it a favorable option for pumping system in irrigation installations in multiple greenhouse fields with different flow rate requirements.

Introduction: The Colta lagoon located in the Sicalpa and Santiago de Quito parishes of the Colta canton, province of Chimborazo, has an extension of 2.5 km, being the sector where the practice of sediment dredging is carried out in the habitat of the sp. Chroicocephalus serranus. Methodology: A situational diagnosis was prepared where the anthropic activities carried out in the lagoon and the type of dredging that is being developed were determined; In addition, samples of water, sediment and bird species were taken in three places included in zone 1: Aquatic Park, zone 2: San José and Raya Loma and zone 3: Santa Inés. Subsequently, the samples were sent to their respective analysis. Objectives: The negative impacts generated by the dredging of sediments from the Colta lagoon on the habitat of Chroicocephalus serranus were determined. In addition, the state of conservation of the habitat was known through the identification of impacts. Results: The presence of heavy metals such as Cu, Ba, Pb, Zn, Fe and Mn with levels higher than the admissible levels established in the General Standards of quality criteria for the uses of surface, maritime and estuarine waters, which means effects negative effects on the habitat of the Andean gull (Chroicocephalus serranus). Conclusions: The analysis of heavy metals from the sediment, water and bird samples from the lagoon reveals the existence of some heavy metals such as: Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, Mn and Ba. Which can be toxic and harmful to the species. In addition, alterations were found in the laboratory analyses, which generate negative impacts on the habitat of the Andean gull (Chroicocephalus serranus), generating chemical contamination with heavy metals in the components of the water, nutrients and food.
