Informe de Pasantía Internacional en el Centro de Investigaciones Hidráulicas e Hidrotécnicas (CIHH-UTP): Apoyo Técnico al Proyecto IDDS-040 – Evaluación del Potencial Hidrogeológico de Zonas Vulnerables de Panamá: Arco Seco
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-08) Villegas Hoyos, Liceth Rocio; Caro Camargo, Carlos Andrés; Garavito Rincón, Laura Natalia; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000724149; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=dwCNSwEAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5568-1219
This international internship was carried out at the Hydraulic and Hydrotechnical Research Center (CIHH) of the Technological University of Panama (UTP), within the framework of the research project IDDS-040: Assessment of the Hydrogeological Potential of Vulnerable Areas in Panama: Dry Arc, as a degree requirement for the Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on Hydro-Environmental Engineering at Universidad Santo Tomás. The internship was conducted from March 2 to April 24, 2026, for a total duration of eight weeks, and focused on providing technical support for the hydrological and hydrogeological characterization of the La Villa and Tonosí river basins. The activities included geospatial data processing, implementation of the SWAT+ hydrological model, processing and bias correction of hydroclimatic information using Quantile Mapping, and groundwater monitoring through field activities and well instrumentation. In the La Villa River basin, 23 sub-basins and 452 Hydrologic Response Units (HRUs) were generated. The model calibration yielded a Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) coefficient of 0.712 at the monthly scale. Additionally, the application of Quantile Mapping resulted in an error of less than 0.14% for the indicator used to evaluate the correction of precipitation series. As part of the field activities, selected monitoring points were visited and instruments were installed to monitor piezometric levels. These activities complemented the information used in hydrological modeling and provided inputs for assessing water resource behavior in the study basins. Overall, the results obtained during the internship contributed to the technical development of the IDDS-040 project and strengthened competencies in hydrological modeling, spatial analysis, hydroclimatic data processing, and groundwater monitoring.
Los Aspectos Paradigmáticos del Derecho Contemporáneo Colombiano: La Tecnología Disruptiva y la Justicia Predictiva
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-08) Muñoz Tapié, Julián Andrés; Valderrama Velandia, José Eduardo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001265148; https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=es&user=3s7faOsAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6429-8019
The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and disruptive technologies into the field of Law represents a substantial transformation in the administration of justice and in the traditional understanding of judicial functions. This research analyzes the conditions under which the use of artificial intelligence tools by judges may contribute to judicial efficiency, procedural speed, and the reduction of judicial congestion, without compromising fundamental rights or replacing the human reasoning inherent to adjudication. To this end, the study critically examines the criteria developed by the Colombian Constitutional Court, particularly in Decisions T-323 of 2024 and T-067 of 2025, concerning the use of disruptive technologies and predictive justice. The research addresses concepts such as algorithmic transparency, personal data protection, accountability, equality, privacy, human oversight, and judicial autonomy, identifying the main benefits, risks, and ethical-legal limits associated with automated decision-making. The study adopts a qualitative approach through a logical-systematic method and hermeneutic tools, integrating legal, technological, and philosophical perspectives. It concludes that the incorporation of AI into the justice system should be guided by principles of transparency, supervision, and human oversight, ensuring that these technologies function as complementary tools to judicial reasoning rather than as substitutes for the judicial function.
Sferyzer: ecosistema digital de bienestar financiero y mentalidad de abundancia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-08) Vargas Rojas, Cristian Andrés; Cruz Hernández, Nancy; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001682341; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002493913; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6640-6738
This document presents the strategy and operational design of Sferyzer, a digital entrepreneurship initiative created within the Faculty of Social Communication at Universidad Santo Tomás. The project seeks to provide the American community with tools for autonomy by transforming their relationship with money through digital narratives and genuinely empathetic financial education. After analyzing the digital environment, it became evident that conventional financial guidance is often perceived as cold and overly technical, overlooking the human and emotional dimensions of individuals seeking support. In response, Sferyzer’s distinctive value lies in combining the Ethics of Care approach with the Creator Economy model, using communication as a bridge to translate complex financial concepts into accessible messages that inspire hope, confidence, and stability. The document also presents an overview of the organization, including the justification of its social impact, its legal formalization as an LLC, the service portfolio, and the marketing plan. In addition, it integrates a detailed financial analysis, risk management strategies, and the Business Model Canvas, outlining a sustainable path that responds to the challenges of today’s information society.
Plan de Mejora Para la Gestión Documental Y La Trazabilidad De Mercancías En La Dian
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-08) Rodríguez Benitez, Fabián Albeiro; González Silva, Luis Carlos; Universidad Santo Tomás
The National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN) faces significant challenges in document management related to the seizure of goods due to its reliance on manual processes and the attention required for technological integration. This work proposes an improvement plan to optimize processes associated with this management. This includes the digitization and automation of records, the incorporation of new technological tools to improve the traceability of seized goods, and the strengthening of the chain of custody of documentation through the development of standardized protocols and the training of DIAN personnel in the use of these tools. In other words, the work is aimed at increasing operational efficiency, reducing the rate of human error, increasing transparency, and ensuring customs regulatory compliance. In this way, the work will contribute to strengthening customs procedures, modernizing the DIAN, and fostering trust in public management.
Estudio patológico conjunto bosque encantado II
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-08) González Paredes, Luis Alberto; Gamba Gómez, Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
The Conjunto Bosque encantado had to undergo a suspension of its construction process, an unplanned and unwanted suspension, generated by an aspect of municipal standardization despite having approved license and execution of the project in 70%, The suspension, which took 48 months and caused injuries to appear on various building elements since no type of protective work was carried out because it was in principle a short and easy-to-resolve suspension. This pathological study with geriatric application, through a detailed inspection, the identification of the type of lesions and their causes and the execution of non-invasive and invasive verification tests established the status of the affected elements, identified all possible actions to be taken with a view to the rehabilitation of the affected elements and suggested appropriate measures to achieve protection and prevention of further injuries, study on the basis of which the design engineers of the project, following a structural reassessment, must determine in good time the actions to be taken in each case; in order to provide a joint solution to a problem already today of a social nature generated by the failure of the families purchasing this project.
