2025-01-14T22:10:12+00:00

This paper analyzes governance and citizen participation in Latin America, from an experiential, literary, theoretical, and descriptive perspective, with a documentary analysis of the last 20 years. Democratic systems and their participation in different social scenarios are analyzed, and current trends and their impact on social behavior are studied, based on various theoretical sources. The main results show that the theories associated with governance and the practice of citizen participation are essential for the strengthening of democracy in Latin American countries, but also reflect the difficulty of leadership in young countries with complex societies and with a diversity of situations and inequalities. Finally, it is possible to conclude that theoretical proposals on democratic regimes and the practice of governance are fundamental for strengthening state policies in Latin American countries.

2025-01-18T23:27:19+00:00

This paper analyses the difference between teaching and practicing listening and reading skills in the context of learning English as a second language (ESL). A systematic literature review examines recent studies published within the last five years on pedagogical approaches. The results indicate that active teaching, which includes keyword identification and inference strategies, is significantly more effective than repetitive practice, allowing students to apply these skills more effectively in real-life situations. It is concluded that structured instruction is key to fostering deep learning, while unguided practice may limit the effective development of these skills.

2025-01-18T23:27:08+00:00

The quality of educational service is defined as the degree to which the educational process meets the expectations and needs of students and society. In this work, the quality of educational services was evaluated through the measurement of satisfaction in students of university centers. The study was instrumental and 1000 students from two universities participated in the validation of the instrument, intentionally selected by quotas. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed under the original model, which confirmed that the instrument has high reliability both for the general scale and for the dimensions (CFI=0.955 and TLI= 0.948, and ideal adjustments in the SRMR= 0.0348, RMSEA= 0.0743, ω= 0.987). These findings reveal that the instrument is ideal for measuring educational quality in university centers.

Adaptation of companies to digital tax transformation

2025-01-18T23:26:57+00:00

This research analyzed the adaptation faced by companies with technology and the use of digital tools for the improvement of tax compliance processes, considering the perception of 76 businessmen. The interpretative paradigm and the deductive method were used, and the surveys were processed using the SPSS V.27 program. The main results focus on two aspects; first, that companies continue to print their endorsements on paper, and second, that the changes based on the principle of administrative simplicity have allowed the taxpayer to acquire a tax culture tending to reduce informality. These findings reveal a need to migrate to more technological systems and continue with a culture of formality for the proper fulfillment of corporate tax responsibilities.
