Financial administration and customer management services in Quevedo and its areas of influence
type: item
description: The research was developed in response to the need to improve the sustainability and expansion of small businesses in a context characterized by an informal economy and limited business planning. The article analyzes the implementation of a customer management model, in entrepreneurs of urban parishes of Quevedo canton and its zones of influence, to strengthen their management capacities, build customer loyalty and grow your business in a sustainable way. A mixed approach was used, with non-experimental design and descriptive scope. The sample was determined by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience and included 72 entrepreneurs from urban parishes of Quevedo. The techniques included surveys, training workshops, personalised advice and technical follow-up. The results show that entrepreneurs, after receiving technical assistance, were able to improve their financial organization, adopt basic financial management tools and understand the benefits of a customer-centric strategy. There was also evidence of an increase in customer loyalty and recurrence thanks to the use of accessible formats for registration, segmentation and tracking. The research concluded that personalized coaching, the use of simple technology and the contextualization of knowledge are key factors to achieve real impact.

The university-business linkage in the continuing education of teaching tutors without a pedagogical background
type: item
description: The Cuban higher education system demands a professional with a solid education. In this training process, teaching tutors without a pedagogical background who work in the context of the university-business linkage play a leading role. This article reflects on the continuing education of teaching tutors without a pedagogical background based on the theoretical-methodological deficiencies detected in the attention and follow-up regarding their pedagogical preparation for fulfilling their duties, which limits their professional performance in accordance with their potential and needs. The theoretical methods used were: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, and historical-logical; and as an empirical method: document analysis. Through these, it was possible to determine the current trends and regularities of the reviewed topic. As a result, the importance acquired by the continuing education process of these professionals was revealed when considering the university-business linkage, based on two parallel and interrelated processes: the productive process and the educational process. The need for continuing education for teaching tutors without a pedagogical background was confirmed, so that they can demonstrate a set of knowledge, attitudes, and skills that allow them to develop their work.

Impacts and challenges of the university-business cooperation model in the local development of Majibacoa
type: item
description: This article analyzed the impacts and challenges of the university-business cooperation model in the local development of Majibacoa, highlighting its role as an engine of transformation in the university, business, and social spheres. To this end, theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction were applied, along with empirical methods such as interviews and surveys. These methods allowed for an examination of the reciprocity between the Municipal University Center and local businesses, emphasizing the role of governments as regulators of this activity. The study revealed the foundations for achieving an effective linkage, identifying the driving forces behind this relationship and the fundamental results it generates in both industry and education. Contributions to the teaching-educational process, scientific research, and I+D mechanisms in companies were highlighted, as well as its contribution to social development. Furthermore, new trends that position Higher Education institutions, including the Municipal University Center, as key links in the production chain were recognized. Through a critical approach, the opportunities and challenges faced by this model in Majibacoa were examined, proposing actions to strengthen its application and maximize its impact on local development. The research concluded that university-business cooperation is an essential tool for fostering innovation, competitiveness, and social well-being in local contexts.

Influence of cultural conception and community context on local child care
type: item
description: In Cuba, the study of child care in daycare centers has gained relevance in recent decades; it currently reveals specificities generated by cultural gender constructs and the sociocultural context, which typify the ways of life of the people who perform this work according to the sense and meaning that the act of caring represents for them. Understanding the work carried out by child caregivers necessarily involved recognizing the established differences among them; therefore, it was important to delve into care from the distinctive cultural standpoints of the art of caring. For these reasons, the article's objective was to determine the cultural components involved in the practice of child care in daycare centers, taking into account the community context of the city of Bayamo. Theoretical methods such as historical-logical, analysis-synthesis, and induction-deduction were used for this purpose; empirical methods such as scientific observation and triangulation; as well as the techniques of questionnaires and interviews. These allowed for the characterization of the study communities, taking into account the differences that distinguish them, and the determination of the main cultural components that condition the forms of child care: the educational level of the caregiver, the cultural gender constructs, and the sociocultural context anchored in the communities where the daycare centers are located.

Words from the Editorial
type: item
description: Adquirir y aplicar nuevos conocimientos desde las particularidades que el proceso de investigación científica en cada momento y contexto exige, realizar evaluaciones críticas, emitir juicios y arribar a conclusiones, constituyen prácticas necesarias en el actuar de cada investigador(a) en cualquier parte del mundo. A ello se añade el compromiso, la entrega y la dedicación asumida por los científicos(as) en medio de una situación económica compleja a nivel mundial y ante los desafíos que imponen los gastos millonarios en acciones militares, cuyos efectos negativos para la humanidad incluyen la disminución del financiamiento en sectores como la educación y la salud. También han de tenerse en cuenta el fracaso en llegar a consensos internacionales para la mitigación de los impactos de los desastres naturales, el agotamiento de los recursos naturales vitales y la elevación de los precios de los alimentos que afectan a millones de seres humanos.

Pedagogical communication as a tool for the teacher
type: item
description: The study of communication is extremely important for all those who are going to develop an educational task. This is so because, throughout their pedagogical activity, teachers establish constant communication with students. The purpose of this article is to reflect on communication as a tool that teachers can use successfully in their professional performance. To this end, philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical foundations were taken into consideration, as well as theoretical (analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and historical-logical) and empirical methods, such as the critical analysis of documents. The research was important because it made possible the analysis of communication through its functions, styles, mechanisms and skills, considering it as an essential element to exert a positive influence between teachers and students, which resulted in the successful management of the teaching-educational process.

Anxiety and temporomandibular disorders: a brief approach to their study for a better quality of life
type: item
description: Anxiety and depression are closely related to the appearance and evolution of temporomandibular disorders. In particular, dental anxiety nowadays constitutes a psychopathological problem of high prevalence in Latin American and Caribbean countries, with importance in the dental area, particularly with temporomandibular disorders. The article analyzed the relationship between anxiety and temporomandibular disorders in order to promote strategies that contribute to achieve a better quality of life in people. Theoretical methods (analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction) and empirical methods (analysis and critique of sources as well as scientific observation) were used. Emphasis was placed on a group of psychological references for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders, as well as on the need to promote strategies for the prevention and management of anxiety. As a result, it was obtained that the bidirectional interaction anxiety-temporomandibular treatment generates a negative cycle if the treatment is not systematic; that the early identification of anxiety symptoms and their preventive treatment reduce the risk of developing temporomandibular disorders in predisposed individuals, which improves the quality of life and reduces the burden of oral and psychological disorders; the implementation of strategies for the treatment of anxiety associated with temporomandibular disorders requires the systemic integration of the multidisciplinary team for the diagnosis, orientation, treatment and evolution of patients.

Strategy for the socio-humanistic training of medical students at the Military Hospital of Holguín
type: item
description: Education in the socio-humanistic field for medical students is considered an urgent need in view of the current challenges of building a more equitable and inclusive society. The objective of this article is to propose a strategy that contributes to the socio-humanist education of medical students of the Military Hospital of the Army Dr. Fermín Valdés Domínguez, Cuba. A qualitative research was carried out, based on theoretical (historical-logical, analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction) and empirical (documentary analysis) methods. The choice of these methods allowed for a qualitative analysis and interpretation of the content presented, in addition to facilitating the application of the laws and principles of dialectical materialism, including the systemic structural-functional approach. In spite of the fact that the curricula of the medical career in Cuba have integrated in a transversal way socio-humanistic elements, the research shows that there are still deficiencies in their effective implementation. As a proposal to address this situation, a strategy was designed to strengthen socio-humanistic training in medical students, not only as a curricular requirement, but as an integral and formative process that influences all aspects of their professional and personal development.

Workplace well-being in human talent productivity from the perspective of organizational psychology
type: item
description: Workplace well-being has gained increasing relevance as a determining factor in employee performance, especially from the perspective of organizational psychology. This study analyzed how the psychosocial conditions of the work environment directly influenced the productivity of human talent within private companies. The main objective was to analyze the impact of well-being at work on the productivity of human talent from the perspective of organizational psychology. A quantitative approach with a non-experimental, correlational design was applied through surveys based on the Likert scale to a representative sample of employees in companies in Quevedo, Ecuador. The results showed that high levels of well-being at work are positively associated with greater efficiency, commitment and individual performance. In addition, the influence of organizational practices oriented to the emotional care of personnel in strengthening productivity was highlighted. It was concluded that an adequate management of labor welfare contributes significantly to the development of human talent, and it was therefore suggested that sustainable welfare strategies be integrated into corporate policies.

Training of professional interests in the students of annex 1 of Technical Vocational Education
type: item
description: Professional orientation is a process that needs to be strengthened in vocational students of Technical and Professional Education, with special interest in those trades that society demands with greater emphasis. In view of this imperative, the article presents a proposal of orientation workshops for the development of professional interests in trade students of Annex 1, belonging to the educational institution Enrique Rosa Pérez Polytechnic Center. Theoretical (analytical-synthetic, modeling), empirical (observation, interview, documentary analysis) and statistical (descriptive and inferential statistics) methods were used. The proposal was a concrete response to the contradiction between the direction of the professional orientation process and the demands of the students' work performance. Likewise, it contributed to the psycho-pedagogical preparation of the educators to positively influence the development of the professional interests of the students, in order to guarantee the obtaining of the necessary information about the different trades to carry out a successful work activity. The use of field experimentation made it possible to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed workshops and made their application advisable.

Case report of critical aortic coarctation
type: item
description: Aortic coarctation is a potentially critical congenital heart disease, in which there is a narrowing of the lumen of the descending aorta. This condition causes, depending on its severity, inadequate blood flow to the systemic circulation so that, on certain occasions, the flow to the portions irrigated by the descending aorta is determined by the presence of the ductus arteriosus. The aim of this article is to describe the clinical presentation of a newborn with a diagnosis of critical aortic coarctation from the current medical position. For this purpose, the clinical case of a patient treated in the perinatal intensive care unit of the Fe del Valle Ramos Hospital in Manzanillo, Granma, was presented. The clinical, echographic and electrical diagnosis of a critical heart disease was made in secondary health care and his subsequent optimal referral to the William Soler Pediatric Cardiocenter in Havana, where corrective surgery was performed to restore cardiovascular functionality. For discussion, a review of the literature was carried out using search engines, meta-search engines and databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus). The relevance and novelty of approaches in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to aortic coarctation as a sufficiently developed area in the knowledge of medical sciences is confirmed from a literature review based on an information search strategy.

The environmentalist thought of Fidel Castro: paradigm for the formation of modes of action (Review)
type: item
description: Fidel's environmentalist thought is characterized by understanding the nature-man-society relationship as an active exchange, in which rationality in the use of the environment and its resources as well as scientific foresight, seen as an instrument for human action with an environmentalist sense, should prevail; that is why his ideas express an environmentalist humanism. The objective of the article is to reflect on theoretical elements related to the environmental education process for the formation of modes of action, from Fidel Castro Ruz's thought, in basic secondary school students. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, such as the documentary review of speeches and normative documents on environmental policy, among others. As conclusions, a vision of Fidel's thought is offered as a heritage of the environmentalist culture that provides theoretical-methodological tools to the permanent commitment with the protection of the environment from a responsible social practice. His ideas made him a precursor of the struggle for the care of the environment, since in his daily actions the call for the protection of nature was present.
