Sandra Peña Murillo — 2026-01-22

Nowadays, environmental requirements are common within industry, which is why oil refining has also been adapted to these requirements by implementing the decarbonization process with the aim of reducing the greenhouse gases produced in the extraction of crude oil and its refining. The objective of this article is to evaluate and compare the current technologies used to reduce the environmental impact in oil refineries. The methodology used in this article is qualitative and comparative, based on the review of bibliography of renowned and specialized journal articles on which technologies have established a significant change in industry. The comparative approach allows identifying similarities and differences between conventional practices and the new decarbonization technologies implemented. Within the decarbonization of the industry, it is highlighted that the electrification of processes, the integration of renewable energies and the implementation of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and systems have allowed optimizing the efficiency of processes and significantly reducing GHG emissions in refineries, and have also shown that the use of advanced monitoring and digital control equipment allows timely intervention in the event of potential excess emissions, while international research indicates that the use of biofuels derived from biomass not only contributes to mitigating the carbon footprint, but also promotes a circular economy based on the use of by-products. After evaluating and comparing the results obtained, it is concluded that, while capture and storage technology is aimed at improving existing processes, the combined use of specialized equipment and biofuels represents a strategic alternative to achieve effective decarbonization. Therefore, the strategic integration of these technologies not only complies with current environmental regulations but also promotes the resilience and future viability of the sector in the face of the challenges of climate change and global regulatory pressure, in addition to confirming that technological innovation is key to achieving effective decarbonization and environmentally responsible refining.

Doris Janneth Moya Flores — 2025-11-12

This article analyzes the limited teacher training in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the care of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in the city of Cayambe. Using a mixed methodology based on direct observation and surveys of teachers at local educational institutions, a low level of preparation in the pedagogical use of technologies aimed at inclusion was identified. The results reveal that only 47% of the teachers surveyed have received specific training in the use of these tools to support students with educational needs; this situation significantly limits the implementation of inclusive practices and the exploitation of technological potential in diverse educational environments. It is concluded that there is an urgent need to strengthen continuing teacher training programs, with an inclusive and technological approach, to ensure quality education for all students.

Evaluating the scalability and systemic impact of behavioral public policies

Byron Oviedo-Bayas — 2025-12-04

El presente estudio examina la evolución de las políticas públicas conductuales desde intervenciones puntuales conocidas como nudges hacia enfoques estructurales o budges, con énfasis en su escalabilidad e impacto sistémico. A través de un diseño metodológico mixto que integra revisión sistemática, análisis de casos emblemáticos y reanálisis de meta-análisis previos se evidencian las limitaciones de los nudges cuando operan de forma aislada, en contraste con la mayor eficacia de los budges al articularse con instrumentos fiscales, regulatorios o administrativos. Los hallazgos revelan que la escalabilidad depende de factores contextuales como el respaldo político, la integración con sistemas preexistentes y la capacidad técnica institucional, elementos que permiten atenuar la penalización de escala identificada en la literatura. El análisis estadístico demuestra que los nudges tienden a quedar circunscritos a implementaciones locales, mientras que los budges logran con mayor frecuencia una expansión nacional con menor pérdida de efectividad. Asimismo, el estudio de casos confirma que el éxito del escalamiento responde menos al diseño conductual en sí mismo que a su inserción en estructuras políticas y administrativas consolidadas. En consecuencia, se plantea que el futuro de las políticas conductuales reside en su transición hacia intervenciones integradas capaces de abordar problemas públicos complejos. Este marco no solo trasciende la dicotomía entre nudges y regulaciones tradicionales, sino que propone su complementariedad para potenciar la sostenibilidad y el impacto a gran escala. Se concluye que la verdadera promesa de las ciencias del comportamiento radica en su incorporación estructural en la gobernanza, lo que posibilita generar transformaciones significativas y duraderas en la sociedad.
