Sexual violences against children and adolescents: moments and tendencies in institutional interventions in Argentina (2021-2022)
Introduction. This article examines the shapes that institutional interventions take in situations of sexual violence against children and adolescents. It aims to analyze them from the perspectives of professionals and community referents working in Argentina, to describe the actions deployed, and analyze the moments and trends of the process towards the protection of rights or revictimization. Methodology. Based on a qualitative design, fifteen stories of institutional action were built from the perspective of professionals and community referents from Argentina in the period 2021-2022. Results. According to the type of disclosure, three groups were identified: group 1, stories told by girls or adolescents to the inner circle of trust; group 2, stories told by girls or adolescents to neighbours; group 3, stories detected by a health centre. The systematization proposed allows to distinguish four moments in the institutional path, which offers an analytical tool to understand the conditions that stimulate the continuity of protection actions, as well as those which lead to their disruption or fragmentation. Discussion. The “entry point” is problematized as a predictor of the institutional pathway, showing that the orientation of trajectories depends on institutional density and intersectoral co-responsibility in the third moment of the critical path, where the tendency toward either the restitution of rights or revictimization is defined. Conclusions. Reducing programmatic vulnerability requires strengthening interinstitutional articulation that sustains accompaniment mechanisms and acknowledges the gender dimension of care, emphasizing the crucial role of women in the protection and restoration of the rights of children and adolescents.
Resocialization of women deprived of liberty: Labeling and public policies, a critical analysis
This article contributes to the understanding of public prison and penitentiary policies in Colombia and their effectiveness in the resocialization of some women deprived of liberty at the Medellín High and Medium Security Prison and Penitentiary Complex, Pedregal. It also contributes to the understanding of social labeling and its impact on the success or failure of public policies and their commitment to eradicating recidivism. To this end, the Biographical-Performative Laboratory "The Metamorphoses of Ulysses" was conceived and implemented. This innovative methodology, through the transliteration of the Ulysses myth, encourages participants to recognize themselves as legal subjects and to narrate their Odyssey in prison and beyond. The results of this laboratory, analyzed qualitatively and from a critical perspective, made it possible to highlight the gap between theory and practice in prison and penitentiary matters, the persistence of the negative impact of labeling on resocialization processes, and the significant challenges that exist in eradicating recidivism and reducing crime.
Macroeconomic drivers of financial performance in power generation firms across emerging and developed marketsERATION FIRMS ACROSS EMERGING AND DEVELOPED MARKETS
This study examines the impact of macroeconomic factors on the financial performance of power generation firms, comparing emerging Latin American economies with those of a developed market. Based on panel data from 106 companies across six countries (2018–2022), multilevel modeling is used to assess firm- and country-level effects, complemented by Dual Multiple Factor Analysis (DMFA) to identify latent relationships among financial and macroeconomic variables. The results indicate that exchange rate fluctuations and inflation are significant determinants of return on equity (ROE), with coefficients of 0.57 and −0.32, respectively. Internal indicators, such as gross profit margin (β = 0.30) and quick ratio (β = 0.22), also exhibit strong positive associations with ROE. Differences in macroeconomic sensitivity between developed and emerging markets underscore the importance of context-specific financial strategies in the energy sector.
Local Government Financing Strategies as Trajectory to Sustainable Development in Nigeria
Local government (LG) financing autonomy constraints hindered the provision of basic infrastructure and social services that were supposed to stimulate sustainable development in Nigeria. Against this backdrop, this paper examined local government financing autonomy and sustainable development in Nigeria. The study employed the Johansen cointegration and error correction method (ECM) of analysis on data collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria's statistical bulletin from 1993 to 2024 to ascertain both the long- and short-run relationships among the variables. The results revealed the existence of long-run relationships that confirmed the importance of local government financing autonomy in the promotion of sustainable development in Nigeria. The ECM is statistically significant, and it indicates that about 52 percent of local government financing autonomy is crucial to drive sustainable development in Nigeria. The paper concludes that the major factor responsible for the non-performance of local governments in Nigeria is the lack of autonomy and the need to activate the virtuous circle of local government financial autonomy for effective promotion of sustainable development in Nigeria. Overall, the study provides insight for future researchers and scholars, especially in the field of development finance.
Bodies, affections, and memories are the focus of women searching in Buenaventura: mapping pain and resisting oblivion
This text aims to understand the psychosocial effects of forced disappearance on a group of women searchers from Buenaventura. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was employed, including semi-structured interviews, focus group meetings, and textual corpora. The systematization of these experiences resulted in the following affective categories: pain inscribed in the body, the relationship between absence, emptiness, and presence, and rage as a transformative force. It was found that, in their role as searchers and caregivers, these women assume the responsibility of maintaining family and community cohesion, often at the cost of their own physical and emotional well-being. Likewise, in their work searching for missing people, they have managed to create spaces where they can inhabit grief, rage, and sadness without being silenced. It is recommended to continue nurturing spaces of living memory, where the voices of victimized people can challenge hegemonic narratives through exercises that connect the individual and the collective.
Detection of water bodies in hyperspectral images using spectral differential similarity and neural networksrential similarity and neural networks
Introduction (I): Efficient material detection in hyperspectral images remains a challenge due to their high dimensionality. This study proposes and evaluates two computational methods—Differential Spectral Similarity (SDS) and Sequential Neural Networks for detecting water bodies in hyperspectral images with 380 reflectance bands. Methodology (M): An adaptation of the CRISP-DM methodology was used in four phases: business and data understanding, data preparation, modeling and evaluation, and method deployment. A dataset of 200 spectral signatures was used to train the models, which were applied to a hyperspectral image of the Manga neighborhood in Cartagena, Colombia. Results (R): Both methods identified water body pixels with precision rates between 13.734% and 16.083%. The SDS method produced fewer detection errors and proved to be, on average, 16.1 times faster in terms of computational performance. Conclusion (C): Given their accuracy and lower complexity compared to more advanced approaches, the evaluated methods—especially SDS—are viable options for integration into real-time environmental monitoring systems.

Commuting and inhabiting part of the Piedemonte Llanero Route: perceptions of visitors and residents on Proximity tourism
This research aims to examine the relationship between the awareness of the proximity route Villavicencio - Restrepo (Meta) and the decision of persons to repeat the exploration of the territory, considering the economic disparities of the consumers. It also seeks to know the perceptions of local tourism actors in relation to proximity tourism and how this activity has impacted their economic and social conditions. The treatment and interpretation of the information were based on a hybrid methodology. At the level of awareness, the route is present in the territorial memory of the locals who visit it, but it is the low-income visitors who consider that it is an accessible option that allows them to approach cultural practices and enjoy the landscape, and therefore, they show a greater interest in returning. The route is perceived by the locals as a source of income, but its touristic exploitation brings problems that affect coexistence and the environment.
Ecoliteracy and environmental citizenship: a systematic review of the literature in basic and secondary education
The planet faces increasingly complex environmental challenges, creating an urgent need to educate citizens who are aware of their relationship with the environment. In this context, ecoliteracy emerges as a transformative educational approach that promotes understanding of ecosystems and their interactions. This study presents a systematic literature review with the objectives of: (1) identifying and categorizing educational strategies used to develop ecoliteracy in primary and secondary students; (2) analyzing pedagogical approaches in ecological education aimed at sustainable development; and (3) examining the influence of cultural contexts on environmental competencies. Using the PRISMA methodology, 199 scientific articles published between 2014 and 2024 in the Scopus and Web of Science databases were analyzed. The results show that most studies were conducted in the United States, highlighting interdisciplinary strategies and the use of emerging technologies to foster ecological awareness. In addition, the findings emphasize the importance of adapting ecoliteracy to cultural diversity and the need for more rigorous evaluation. Thus, this study contributes to the field as it provides an updated systematization of practices and proposes inclusive and contextualized educational models. The findings have implications for curriculum design, teacher training, and public policy. It is suggested to advance toward intercultural approaches adapted to the socio-territorial realities of Latin America.
Digital financial inclusion in Latin America: An application of classification models
Digital financial inclusion is crucial for economic and social development in Latin America, where access to basic financial services is limited and the informality in the economy has been reluctant to decrease. This paper uses a novel methodology for classified individuals according to whether or not they have a mobile account (also known as e-wallets) based on their socio-economic characteristics, the holding of other instruments, and the country of origin among four Latin American nations (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru) in 2021. Mobile accounts fostered inclusive growth, reduced transaction costs and geographical constraints, and were boosted in the post-pandemic era. The objective is to identify the most relevant attributes of mobile account ownership to improve digital financial inclusion. For the classification, the results highlight age and income as relevant but also owning a debit card, accessing the Internet at home, and having saved in the last year as significant factors leaving behind the country of origin (meaning that they are very alike) or typically relevant attributes for traditional finance like education or gender.

Emerging technologies for the extraction of compounds from cocoa residues: a literature review.
The valorization of cocoa residues is relevant for their potential to extract high-value bioactive compounds and pectins. This review focuses on non-conventional extraction technologies applied to cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) residues, such as pod and bean shells. The analytical method for systematic reviews was applied, which implies the assignment of value scales to the documents obtained in the literature search. Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases were used, selecting 48 papers out of 53,296 found. The analysis highlights the importance of technological innovation in obtaining valuable compounds and promoting responsible management of natural resources. Conventional extraction methods present challenges such as long extraction times and the use of toxic solvents. In contrast, non-conventional methods, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction, supercritical fluids, microwaves, enzymes, and pressurized liquids, offer advantages such as reduced times and the use of environmentally friendly solvents. It is concluded that technological innovation in the extraction of compounds from cocoa residues using non-conventional techniques represents an opportunity to transform by-products into valuable resources, promoting more sustainable practices in the industry. In the future, experimental studies in this field are required to optimize the extraction of bioactive compounds.
Value chain governance for the Colombian palm oil sector
El aceite de palma constituye un producto de relevancia para el sector agrícola colombiano al consolidarse como el cuarto productor mundial y el primero del continente americano. Este producto tiene una participación promedio del 10 % en el PIB agrícola en los últimos cinco años y contribuye a mejorar la balanza comercial del país mediante la exportación del 40 % de su producción. Su agroindustria genera aproximadamente el 6,5 % del empleo agrícola nacional, del cual el 85 % corresponde a empleo formal, siendo una de las principales fuentes de trabajo en zonas rurales y motor de desarrollo social y económico para muchas comunidades. Comprender los sistemas de gobernanza del sector palmicultor colombiano, al interior de la cadena de valor, es fundamental para planear estrategias orientadas a fortalecer su posicionamiento en la economía global. A partir del análisis de las respuestas obtenidas en 65 entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas a agentes comerciales y no comerciales en las cuatro principales zonas productoras de palma en Colombia, se identificó la coexistencia de tres formas de gobernanza: mercado, relacional y cautiva, siendo esta última la más predominante. Esto se explica por factores como el poder adquisitivo, la distribución de la propiedad de la tierra y la concentración de poder, los cuales generan ventajas en la toma de decisiones por parte de ciertos agentes del sector sobre productores con escaso apalancamiento financiero.
Environmental land planning laws and primate conservation in Colombia
Environmental land use planning legislation aims to regulate land use and ensure the provision of ecosystem services that are fundamental to human well-being. These services include support of biodiversity, which must include habitat conservation for species of high ecological value, such as primates. However, scenarios complexity related to primate conservation has resulted in efforts being focused on specific species or geographical areas. As a result, legislation importance on environmental territorial planning has not been thoroughly explored. Colombia is home to 38 species of primates, among which the ornate titi monkey (Plecturocebus ornatus) is endemic. This species plays an ecological role as a seed disperser, pollinator, and insect consumer in the lowland and foothills forests of Meta and parts of Cundinamarca departments. Despite this, it remains vulnerable to extinction, making it a valuable model for analysis. This study aims to analyze the existing legislation and its effectiveness for the conservation of primate habitat, with a particular focus on the ornate titi monkey. As input, a systematic review of legal and technical literature has been conducted. In addition, interviews were conducted with actors involved in environmental land use planning at municipal and regional levels. Results of our research suggest that although there is a normative goal of habitat conservation for species, there is a lack of implementation in many regions of significant biological importance. It is hoped that this research will contribute to strengthening institutions responsible for environmental territorial management, formulating laws to protect non-human species, and reducing primate populations.
Pro-environmental policy in a higher education institution: Progress and challenges
Introduction: The objective of this study was to analyze the pro-environmental policy within the framework of the Environmental Management System (EMS) at the University of Nariño (Colombia) and to derive critical reflections on its progress and challenges. Methodology: Qualitative research was conducted using a five-phase design: a) definition of the categorical matrix, b) design of the strategy and documentary search, c) fieldwork, d) analysis of the information, e) interpretation of emerging issues.

Exploring Indigenous Methodologies: Opportunities and Challenges for Contemporary Science
This article presents the main characteristics of indigenous methodologies that are entering Western educational institutions. These methodologies, based on the knowledge and traditions of Indigenous communities, are becoming increasingly popular and stand out for their holistic approach, environmental respect, and community participation. The findings suggest that these methodologies are a useful tool for addressing the problems of these communities, as they allow the generation of relevant knowledge, participation in decision-making, and the promotion of social change. However, they face challenges such as a lack of resources, limited institutional support, and limited recognition of non-Western knowledge. Despite these obstacles, indigenous methodologies have a significant potential to enrich scientific research and intercultural education.
Obtaining seedlings from different pregermination treatments in pea seeds
Pea cultivation is important for the local economy in peasant agriculture. However, the process of obtaining seedlings presents low uniformity in germination and size, making it difficult to schedule cultivation tasks in production. The effect of different pregermination treatments such as refrigeration, cover, and different concentrations of gibberellins on germination and the establishment of pea seedlings was evaluated. A completely randomized block design was used, whose classification criterion was the coverage of the germination tray (with or without black plastic cover caliber 2). Each block had four treatments, which combined two factors, seed storage temperature (with two levels, 4 or 16 °C before sowing) and gibberellins (0 or 100 mg.L-1). The use of black plastic cover on the germination tray and the immersion of the seeds before sowing in 100 mg.L-1 showed the germination percentage, germination potential, and mean germination time (MGT) in pea seeds var. Santa Isabel. Refrigeration of the seeds at 4 °C before sowing increased the germination percentage and reduced the MGT. The plastic cover, refrigeration at 4 °C and immersion in 100 mg.L-1 of gibberellins increased the fresh and dry mass of stems, and the height of the seedlings, however, refrigeration at 4 °C, without gibberellins, and cover, generated the highest values ​​of dry and fresh mass of roots and leaves.
Sanitary certification of small milk producers in Alto Putumayo: Analysis from the ecological model.
In Colombia, milk production contributes significantly to food security; therefore, producers need to certify their farms through health programs that ensure the quality and safety of dairy products. This ethnomethodological study analyzed the certification of sanitary programs by small-scale dairy producers in the Alto Putumayo region, using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model as an analytical framework. In-depth interviews were conducted with stakeholders involved in the production and commercialization of the dairy value chain. The findings, organized according to the levels of the ecological model, reveal various challenges. At the microsystem level, there is a notable lack of knowledge about zoonotic diseases; at the mesosystem level, low levels of producer association are identified; at the exosystem level, limited support and guidance from governmental institutions is evident; and at the macrosystem level, the negative impact of informal trade on dairy production and marketing is highlighted. These findings point to structural challenges that hinder access to sanitary certification, particularly in rural contexts. Addressing these issues through an integrated approach is essential to ensure that milk and dairy products are produced under adequate hygienic and sanitary conditions, thereby reducing public health risks, strengthening market confidence, and expanding commercialization opportunities for small-scale producers.

From a teaching perspective, cognitive gaps were identified in searching and selecting information that required differentiated teaching devices. It is concluded that it is necessary to expand didactic time dedicated to searching and selecting information on socially relevant issues. The presence of hesitant and dialogical teaching interventions is essential for the construction of social knowledge.
Construction of a hypermedia focused on competency-based learning: The case of teaching the states of matter to over-age students
This article results from a research project that aims to build a hypermedia focused on competency-based learning for teaching the states of matter to over-aged fifth-grade students. The methodological approach of the research is qualitative descriptive, the analysis was carried out through a case study, consisting of an academic creation exercise consisting of three phases: (i) identification of difficulties in teaching the states of matter, (ii) Identification of the theoretical and methodological aspects for the construction of an educational hypermedia, through observations, interviews, diaries, documents that allow a deep and detailed understanding of social reality and, finally (iii) educational hypermedia was developed. The main result was the development of a competency-based hypermedia platform for over-age students—one of the first of its kind in Colombia—which fosters positive attitudes in students, such as recognizing, differentiating, and constructing definitions directly related to their reality. In conclusion, this is not a prescriptive design but a hypermedia that teachers can adjust according to their immediate institutional context and student characteristics.
Connecting the body, transhumanism and agroecology. Scientific mapping 2000-2024 and critical analysis
This research aims to carry out a scientific mapping based on graph theory and conduct a critical analysis of the scientific production related to transhumanism and agroecology. Methodologically, a search for the topic was carried out on the Scopus platform, the extracted references were processed using the Bibliometrix tool. Subsequently, a critical analysis was made that contrasted the perspective of the body from transhumanism and agroecology. The results show that the countries with the greatest scientific production in the area are China, the United States, and France. They also point out a growing interest from the scientific community in the topic of transhumanism and agroecology, which is evident in a marked academic production in the last five years. The article contrasts two visions of the body: a reductionist and instrumental vision imposed by the hegemonic West and an agroecological perspective, which considers the body as a deep and immeasurable territory, connected with the earth, water, air, fire, and plants. , minerals, animals, and the cosmos.
Quality of life in children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer during the coronavirus pandemic
The diagnosis of cancer in childhood implies a transformation in lifestyle, which has a significant impact on multiple dimensions of the child's development and well-being. This study aimed to describe health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children diagnosed with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was developed, in which two instruments were applied, the first one allowed to characterize the sociodemographic aspects; the second one consisted of the Kidscreen-27® instrument, validated for Colombia, which evaluates health-related quality of life in the child population. Results: A total of 20 children participated, of whom 11 (55%) were female. Ninety-five percent belonged to socioeconomic strata 1 and 2; 35% resided in rural areas, and 50% were under active treatment. When evaluating the quality of life, it was evident that all the dimensions were positively evaluated. However, in the dimension related to the school environment and peer relationships, 47.4% of the participants rated themselves as not very or moderately happy in their educational context or their interaction with their friends. Conclusions: In the face of future challenges arising from health emergencies, it is essential to adapt and strengthen support systems to comprehensively address medical and psychosocial needs, ensuring a holistic, sensitive, and equitable approach to pediatric cancer care in hospital and educational settings.
