Among the most recognized university rankings are the Shanghai Ranking, QS World University Ranking, SCimago Institutions Rankings SIR and the Web Ranking of Universities-Webometrics. By June 2019, there are ten Latin American universities positioned in the Top10 of the four Rankings, despite their differentiating characteristics and established criteria. In this sense, the purpose of this paper is to characterize these universities for a period of ten (10) years (2009-2019) based on the data published in SIR, since it shows and registers the indicators for this period. Among the conclusions, it stands out that these universities are distinguished especially by their results in research, web presence, and web visibility showing improvements in their positioning from 2009 to 2019. However, after the evaluation of the innovation and social criteria, the ten universities coincide in declines in their global positioning from this sub-ranking.

In the present work, the dimensions of the psychosocial risk assessment instrument are defined considering internal, individual, double presence and external factors for work environments. Those corresponding to internal, individual and double presence factors are not subject to a process of validation of content since they come from the ISTAS 21 model validated by the Trade Union Institute of Labor, Environment and Health of Spain. The variables corresponding to external factors are obtained from the Social Determinants of Health Model of the World Health Organization. These measurement tools are used for companies with a high number of workers, so a large amount of data is generated. The construct validity of the external factors is carried out by calculating the sample adequacy measure of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin together with the Bartlett sphericity test and the communalities analysis. Of the internal and individual variables there are twenty dimensions and of the external variables, are reduced to 14.

Cadastre has been a primary resource as a source of tax revenues. With the growth of population and urban areas, the information has increased exponentially and efficient ways to manage it are needed. This makes necessary to make changes in the way of managing their processes and resources and requiring the adequate legislation and regulations. This paper proposes the design of strategies using the SWOT matrix, considering the reviews reported in state database of Iberoamerican in a span of 14 years regarding diagnoses, mission, vision, and ability to provide services in cadastre management, in order to design strategies for efficiencies in management.

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the application of exploratory factor analysis to demonstrate that factors external to the organization influence the outcome of the Evaluation of the level of psychosocial risks. The variables corresponding to external factors are obtained from the Social Determinants of Health Model of the World Health Organization (WHO). These measurement tools are used for companies with a high number of workers, so a large amount of data is generated. The elements included in the construct validation are: the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy measure, Barlett's sphericity test, the communalities, the explained variance percentages, the matrix of factor structure components, the graph of sedimentation and the matrix of rotated components. As a result, we obtain that external factors have a significant impact on the assessment of the level of psychosocial risks. The external variables found are: education, health care services, housing conditions, means of transport, living conditions.
