Vol. 6 No. 3 (2019)

Today we present a new issue of the UISRAEL Scientific Journal, the third and last of 2019. We have gathered here a series of articles that, although not very numerous (as you can see, we are talking about seven papers, the amount that has become usual in each issue of our digital magazine), they do show a scientific rigor -methodological, investigative- and an expository and written quality in accordance with the requirements of current scientific publications. And, likewise, they are in accordance with the lines drawn by the publishing entity of our journal, the ISRAEL University of Technology.

The articles in this issue address, as usual, issues and problems of various kinds that affect not only the country, Ecuador, but often also the region, the continent, the world (see, for example, the article "Legal status of transsexuals in the European Union and Latin America"), and with an urgency of current affairs.

On the other hand, the thematic variety responds, first of all, to the disciplinary variety, that is to say, to themes belonging to different scientific disciplines: jurisprudence, theory of culture, pedagogy, architecture and urban planning, tourism. But we also find thematic diversity within the same discipline, specifically in the field of jurisprudence: three of the articles we offer pertain to the science of law, and all three deal with different topics.

At a time when what has come to be known as "post-truth" is rife with all kinds of apocryphal knowledge and pseudo-science, being able to contribute or insist on truth and science is no mean feat.
It is up to the reader to judge and take advantage of these works.
