Item El Body Shaming y la Adaptación Social en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2024-08) Núñez Barzola, Johanna Aracelly; Martínez Bonilla, Carlos AlbertoThe student dropout rate in universities and the low persistence rates, particularly in the first year of study, have led to questioning the various factors that influence the transition of students to this new context. As a result, it has been established that body shaming is an emerging factor in the adaptive process, which has not been adequately studied, especially for young university students. Therefore, the influence of body shaming on university adaptation was examined in order to serve as a starting point for the development of intervention strategies that facilitate a successful transition to professional life. The objective of this research was to examine the influence of body shaming on university adaptation through the development of a research instrument (questionnaire) that allowed for the evaluation of the interrelationship between the study variables. The analyzed sample consisted of 177 students from the Early Childhood Education program at the Universidad Técnica de Ambato. It was based on a mixed approach and two data collection instruments were used: a teacher interview related to social adaptation to the university environment and a questionnaire to explore students' perceptions of body shaming and its possible relationship with university adaptation. The main results reflect that within the factors of the adaptive process are social interaction, academic performance, integration into university life, sociocultural adaptation, and social support. The research instrument met the proposed objective and allowed for determining that young university students who experience body shaming perceive this phenomenon with anxiety, feelings of shame, low self-esteem, and anxiety related to body image. Therefore, the mentioned indicators can trigger disorders and limit the social adaptation of the university student. It significantly affects academic performance and social interaction, concluding that body shaming influences university adaptation. This research is part of the "Netnographic Study of communication from invisible to visible in digital violence" projectItem El comportamiento social y el uso de los dispositivos digitales(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2024-08) Jimenez Vasco, Deryan Lizandro; Martínez Bonilla, Carlos AlbertoSocial behavior and the use of digital devices in high school students in Ecuador is a topic of interest and relevance. Young people in this educational stage are increasingly immersed in the digital world, using cell phones and computers not only for entertainment, but also for communication and learning. Interaction with technology significantly influences patterns of social behavior, affecting everything from the way they relate to peers to how time and attention are managed. Devices offer numerous educational opportunities and social connection; In addition, they present challenges such as exposure to misinformation, cyberbullying, and technological dependency. Research identifies the need to understand how these elements interact and affect the development of the adolescent's personality and behaviors. The objective was to investigate this relationship through a quantitative approach, developing a structured survey and direct observation as data collection techniques. A descriptive and correlational design was worked on, focused on characterizing phenomena and establishing relationships between relationships between social networks and behavior. The data were taken from second and third year high school students from an Educational Unit Cotopaxi - Ecuador; At the same time, an exhaustive bibliographic review was carried out to theoretically contextualize the research and verify the student reality. Results reveal significant patterns of digital device use, highlighting how these affect social behavior and perception of the environment; In addition, a high dependence on digital devices, the Internet and social networks is evident. A correlation is identified between intensive device use and certain specific social behaviors. The importance of understanding the dynamics between the use of digital devices and the development of social behavior of adolescents is highlighted, underlining the need for educational and social strategies that promote responsible and balanced use of technology among high school students, formulating a protocol to support the study problem. Research supports the research project approved by resolution FJCS-CD-RES.

The study revolves around the main messages that are emitted in the ceremony or cult, they can be known through an informative table raised as a proposal, where what is said, what is said, what is not manifested and the intentionality are identified. Several statements are taken into account as a starting point as a qualitative investigation is sought in each message the "function manifests the consequences recognized and consciously sought by individuals, and by latent function that is not recognized or sought" (Marín, 1976). The results achieved allowed them to construct guidelines that contribute significantly to understand what is behind the evangelical discourse, intention of the message and the type of communication used.
