The evaluation instruments for clinical practices enable the teacher to discern the level of learning achieved by the student; and, they allow the student to recognize their achievements and identify the competencies they still need to develop. To investigate the subject in depth, the present qualitative descriptive research is proposed with an observational, transversal design to assess the evaluation instrument of the pre-professional practices in the Dentistry Career. In the methodological process, a content analysis was carried out using a checklist, a focus group, and an in-depth interview. The results of the analysis show that the evaluation instrument is adequate, meaning it meets some quality standards; however, both students and teachers agree that it fulfills the function of evaluation, but not with quality, as it lacks evaluation indicators, does not facilitate self-assessment and feedback, the grading parameters are not clear, and the evidence obtained from the practical work performed by the learner is very general. In conclusion, the document lacks a clear format, indications, observations, objective and evaluation indicators, and a final average of the practice performed., Los instrumentos de evaluación de las prácticas clínicas facilitan al docente discernir el nivel de aprendizaje alcanzado por el estudiante; y, a este le permiten conocer sus logros y reconocer las competencias que aún necesita desarrollar. Con el fin de profundizar en el tema, se plantea la presente investigación cualitativa de tipo descriptiva con un diseño observacional, transversal con el objetivo de valorar el instrumento de evaluación de las prácticas preprofesionales en la Carrera de Odontología. En el proceso metodológico se realizó un análisis de contenido mediante una lista de cotejo, un grupo focal y una entrevista a profundidad. Los resultados del análisis muestran que el instrumento de evaluación es bueno, es decir, cumple con algunos estándares de calidad; y el criterio de estudiantes y docentes es que cumple la función de evaluar, pero no con calidad, ya que no posee indicadores de evaluación, tampoco facilita la autoevaluación y la retroalimentación, los parámetros de calificación no son claros y las evidencias obtenidas del trabajo práctico realizado por el educando son muy generales. En conclusión, se evidencia que el documento carece de un formato claro, de indicaciones, observaciones, objetivo e indicadores de evaluación y de un promedio final de la práctica ejecutada.

Environmental Law emerges as a modern branch of the legal field due to the current environmental issues and their specific requirements for justice. The objective of this research was to analyze the disciplinary and investigative formation of Law students in order to compare similarities and differences in their environmental education through content analysis. Curricula were compared and factors that motivate students to research environmental topics were described. A qualitative approach was used, conducting a comparative study of curricula and a focus group with eight Law students in their eighth semester. Certain similarities and diverse differences were found in the academic offerings, curricula, and syllabus content. Factors influencing motivation were identified, such as limited study hours, low relevance in teaching, and a lack of specialized teachers in the subject. It is concluded that it is necessary to standardize the content related to Environmental Law in curricula, and that universities should create a motivating environment for the research of environmental issues within the legal field., El Derecho Ambiental surge como una moderna rama del ámbito jurídico debido a la actual problemática ambiental y sus puntuales requerimientos de justicia.

Tourism offers a means of promoting a local development strategy capable of harnessing the resources available within a territory. In order to do this, we must know the potential for tourism development in each territory, as well as the factors that would condition it. In this article, a methodology (based on the design of a system of indicators, the construction of composite indexes, and segmentation by means of cluster analysis) is proposed to measure tourism development within an emerging country and segment its different territories. The case study chosen to validate this methodology is Ecuador, a country with interesting tourist potential, where individual cities have very different levels of tourism development. The results highlight the factors that drive or constrain the degree of tourism development presented by the cities analysed, thereby facilitating decision-making for major stakeholders in each of them

En este texto se busca esclarecer si a los trabajadores oficiales les aplica el artículo 2.2.32.1. del decreto 1083 de 2015, entendiendo que el mismo hace referencia al derecho al seguro por muerte del que trata el decreto reglamentario 1848 de 1969 en los artículos 52 y siguientes, al implementar el decreto 3135 de 26 de diciembre de 1968cuando el artículo 14 señala cuáles son las prestaciones sociales a cargo de las entidades de previsión. Lo anterior cobra relevancia dado que, por la hiperactividad normativa en Colombia y con la expedición de ley 100 de 1993 que tuvo como objeto integrar la seguridad social de todos los trabajadores del país, los mencionados decretos quedaron aparentemente derogados; debido a eso se quedaría sin fundamento la contratación del seguro por muerte que según regulación del decreto 1083 de 2015, continúa vigente para los trabajadores oficiales.

Considering the tourism activity as a system that still includes subsystems or multilayers, this article seeks to analyse the level of interaction and collaboration of tourism stakeholders in four cities of Ecuador with different stages of tourism development. The analysis is carried out from a multilevel perspective, based on the application of density and centrality indicators of the Social Network Analysis (SNA) and statistical analysis to know the strengths of their associations. The results show that the interaction and collaboration of the stakeholders impact the tourism dynamics of the cities. These cities are more or less dynamic due to those interactions, which may influence the level of tourism development, thus agreeing with the existing literature regarding factors and conditions, their structure, their productive links, and their impact on the tourism activity. It shows an implication in the analysis of the interaction and collaboration within the productive process of an emerging tourist destination, as well as the networks of actors that become a fundamental element in the planning and management of the aforementioned destinations.
