Abstract

This academic volume, titled "Research Seedbeds: A Praxis for the Development of Technological Sciences," compiles a series of research papers addressing a variety of topics, primarily with a technical and social focus applied to Ecuador. Chapters explore everything from the use of marine waste for collagen extraction, with quality and toxicological safety analysis, to the effectiveness of children's songs in teaching preschool English. Other sections focus on technological optimization, including the automation of electrical systems for residential energy savings and the determination of operating ranges for terrestrial radio links in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. Finally, the volume analyzes logistics costs in Ecuadorian microenterprises, textile waste management in the fashion industry, the reduction of carbon emissions with certified wood in construction, the evaluation of hot spots in industrial electrical systems using thermography, the impact of virtual reality on higher education, and an analysis of traffic accidents in Santo Domingo.
