Introduction: Ecuador is in a high-risk seismic zone, making metallic structures highly vulnerable. The fundamental problem is to determine the behavior of masonry against seismic events of isolated masonry and confined masonry. Objective: to determine the behavior of buildings of metallic structures of medium height that use isolated and confined masonry. Methodology: the methodology used for the present study was to consider models made of walls with these conditions, and through a non-linear analysis, determine the load capacity of the panels, as well as their displacements before the action of accelerations associated with seismic design spectra, taking into account the recommendations of the AISC, ATC-40, ASCE 41-17, ASCE 7 FEMA 273 and 356 and the NEC-15. Results: It was possible to determine that in the essential structure the presence of masonry infill panels does not help in performance in a Very Rare Earthquake, since the displacements in the non-linear range are significantly reduced, causing the structure to be located in the collapse performance level, without reaching the target performance for the earthquake with a probability of exceedance of 2% in 50 years and a return period of 2475 years. Conclusions: it was possible to determine that in the confined walls, when increasing the rigidity, the values ​​of the period are significantly reduced, as well as a slight decrease in floor drifts, the performance criterion is met in the direction of the wall but not in the other two directions for rare and very rare earthquakes, in essential structures the contribution of infill panels does not improve performance for very rare earthquakes since the displacements in the non-linear range are notably reduced, which means that the structure is at the collapse performance level for earthquakes with a probability of exceedance of 2% in 50 years and return periods of 2475 years. It is recommended that for essential structures it be designed with drifts of less than 1% and use full frames since the action of the masonry increases the rigidity of the structure. General area of ​​study: Civil and Mechanical Engineering. Specific study area: Metallic structures.

Typography:  In the construction sector, seismic resistant rods gradually lose mechanical properties when subjected to thermal treatments, this loss is different and depends on the percentage of alloying elements as well as on the thickness of the material. Therefore, applying mathematical modeling to simulate the degree of affectation in seismic-resistant materials under tensile stresses becomes a tool that allows to establish the behavior of any material quickly and accurately under this type of stresses. The research method applied was inductive, with a quantitative approach, by means of experimental design and documentary type. The population is constituted by rebars, considering 90 experimental units as sample. The destructive tensile test and the simulation using finite element methods showed that the maximum stress for the rupture of the seismic-resistant material is between 690 Mpa and 700 Mpa, a result that is fundamental in the design and material selection phase at the time of constructing new buildings. By means of the analysis of variance, it was concluded that the dependence of the fracture mechanism is a function of both the diameter of the material and the type of manufacturer. In addition, it was established that the fracture mechanism of earthquake resistant materials subjected to thermal hardening processes is of the ductile type.

The optimization of maintenance frequencies using the prediction of failure occurrence resulting from mathematical modeling and in particular through the use of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Models (ARIMA) is a topic that has been investigated and developed in recent years, because the results obtained reflect the increase of the different productivity indexes of the intervened machines and equipment, that is, the efficiency and effectiveness of these models in the estimation of these frequencies has been proven. It has been applied a methodology that starts from the generation of a time series based on the Times of Good Operation (TTF) that are recorded in the maintenance logs of the parallel lathe TR - 01, this series is mathematically modeled with the objective of generating an adequate forecast of the appearance of new failures, this allowed to reduce key performance indicators at industrial level as the Average Time of Repair and Maintenance Costs up to 35%, also the repeatability and reproducibility of the proposed methodology makes that the study can be implemented in any physical asset.

Introduction. It is estimated that between 10% and 15% of the world's population currently has or will have a hernia in the abdominal wall, with 60% of these hernias being specifically in the inguinal region and with a lifetime risk of suffering an inguinal hernia between 27% to 43% in men. Minimally invasive surgery, including inguinal hernioplasty, has become one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide. Currently, the laparoscopic technique has become an option for the repair of hernia pathology. The results have been favorable due to the use of tension-free meshes. Objective: to describe the management of inguinal hernias by means of the preperitoneal transabdominal laparoscopic technique. Methodology. A narrative bibliographic review of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and bibliographic reviews in English and Spanish, compiled in databases such as PubMed, LILACS and Medline, published in the last 5 years in humans older than 65 years, was carried out. Results. This analysis addressed the approach to inguinal hernia management in older adults through the technique of transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty, based on the review and analysis of 15 studies, following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The studies provided substantial data regarding various complications such as seroma, hematoma, and wound infection. Additionally, less common complications were explored, and the advantages and disadvantages of employing this technique were evaluated, also considering the impact in terms of costs and length of hospital stay. This comprehensive analysis provides an essential perspective on the effectiveness and feasibility of transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty in the older adult population. Conclusion. Preperitoneal transabdominal hernioplasty offers positive results in patient recovery, less postoperative pain, and a significantly reduced probability of infections, allowing an early return to daily activities and work. However, late complications may arise, such as chronic groin pain and hernia recurrence.

Introduction: Membranous nephropathy (MN) represents a glomerular disorder characterized by thickening of capillary walls due to immune complexes. This condition prevails as the primary cause of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults over 40 years old, although it also affects children less frequently. The estimated incidence varies geographically but remains constrained by the lack of representative studies. Although largely autoimmune and associated with anti-PLA2R antibodies, treatment addresses new therapies and emerging antibody discoveries. Methodology: A literature review will be conducted to gather and analyze relevant studies on the treatment of primary membranous glomerulonephritis, using specific inclusion criteria. Irrelevant articles were excluded, and the search encompassed databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest, employing search terms and Boolean operators. Discussion: Various studies on the treatment of primary membranous glomerulonephritis reveal diverse approaches. Cyclophosphamide expedited recovery in one study, while prednisone and rituximab yielded limited results. The amount of proteinuria proved critical in preserving renal function. Immunosuppressive therapy generally outperformed non-immunosuppressive approaches. Detection of high anti-PLA2R antibody levels indicated poor response to tacrolimus. Thyroid dysfunction and rituximab influenced outcomes. Antibody-guided therapy demonstrated high remission rates. Prophylactic aspirin or warfarin may benefit patients with low serum albumin. Conclusion: The treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy is complex. Rituximab and antibody-guided therapy are effective, but the choice depends on factors such as age, antibodies, thyroid function, and others. A personalized approach is needed to enhance remission and patients' quality of life.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease with complex management, is influenced not only by biological factors but also by psychosocial factors. Identifying these factors and their role in treatment adherence, glycemic control, and the quality of life of patients with diabetes is crucial for improving its management. Objective: Describe the influence of psychosocial factors on treatment adherence in diabetes mellitus through a comprehensive review of scientific literature. Methodology: Narrative literature review, using the databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Latindex. Studies focusing on diabetes mellitus, examining the relationship between one or more psychosocial factors and diabetes management, and providing sufficient data to evaluate the outcomes of interest will be included. Results: Psychosocial factors, such as depression and stress, significantly impact treatment adherence in diabetes mellitus. Depressive symptoms triple the likelihood of non-adherence, while social support enhances glycemic control. On the other hand, diabetic complications affect the quality of life, regardless of treatment policies. Conclusion: Psychosocial factors play a crucial role in the management and treatment of diabetes mellitus. Depression and stress can reduce treatment adherence, while social support can enhance it. Complications arising from diabetes impact the quality of life, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive and multidisciplinary care.

Introduction. Conditional suspension of sentence is a legal institution that allows a person convicted of a crime not to serve a prison sentence, provided that certain conditions are met. In Ecuador, this figure is regulated by Article 74 of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP). In 2016, the National Court of Justice of Ecuador issued Resolution No. 02-2016, in which it ruled that conditional suspension of the sentence is not appropriate in cases resolved through abbreviated proceedings. This resolution has been criticized by some sectors, which consider that it violates the rights of convicted persons.  Objective. The objective of this paper is to analyze whether the resolution of the National Court of Justice violates the rights of persons convicted of a crime through an abbreviated procedure.  Methodology. An analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive method with a qualitative approach was used for the development of this work. A bibliographic review of the regulations and jurisprudence applicable to the subject was carried out.  Results. The analysis of the regulations and jurisprudence applicable to the issue leads to the conclusion that the resolution of the National Court of Justice violates the rights of persons convicted of a crime through an abbreviated procedure. The conditional suspension of the sentence is a right of convicted persons, recognized by the Constitution and international human rights instruments. Conclusion. The resolution of the National Court of Justice violates the rights of persons convicted of a crime through an abbreviated procedure. This resolution must be revoked to guarantee the right to social reintegration of these persons.
