(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-11-08) Burbano Martínez, Yany Daniela; Blanco Patiño, María Gabriela; López Somaza, Rafael Ángel; Almario Barrera, Andrea Johanna; Universidad Santo Tomás
Introduction: Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is an indicator that allows evaluating the impact of oral conditions on the physical, psychological, and social well-being of individuals. Periodontal diseases and oral hygiene habits can influence this perception, affecting daily functioning and social interaction. Objective: To determine the quality of life related to periodontal condition among general services and security workers at Universidad Santo Tomás Bucaramanga during the second semester of 2025. Methods: An observational analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. The population consisted of workers from Universidad Santo Tomás and the sample was composed of 57 adult workers who voluntarily agreed to participate through informed consent; those who did not complete the survey or presented incomplete information were excluded. Sociodemographic variables, oral hygiene habits, tobacco consumption, history of oral health education, and oral health-related quality of life were evaluated, measured through the OHIP-14PD questionnaire. Statistical tests were applied according to the distribution of the data, with a significance level of p<0.05. The study was conducted under ethical principles for health research and current Colombian regulations. Results: Fifty-seven workers participated, with a predominance of females (61.40%). A total of 94.74% lived in urban areas and were non-smokers. Regarding oral hygiene habits, all reported the use of toothbrush and toothpaste; however, 59.65% did not use dental floss. Likewise, 68,42% reported not having received oral health education. The bivariate analysis showed a statistically significant association between having received oral health education and the OHIP-14PD score (p=0.019), observing that those who received education presented better oral health-related quality of life. Conclusion: Oral health education is associated with a better oral health-related quality of life in the evaluated workers. Keywords: quality of life, oral health, OHIP-14 PD, occupational groups, dental health education
Diseño de política contable de ingresos para GVL Ingeniería S.A.S.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-11-09) Bulla Robles, Néstor Mauricio; Cárdenas Lozano, María José; Romero Mejía, Alberto; Barrera Arciniegas, Helga Lucero; Universidad Santo Tomás
The objective of this report is to design an accounting policy applicable to the company GVL INGENIERÍA S.A.S., with an emphasis on the Revenue from Ordinary Activities line item, which is regulated under Section 23 of the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs). The problem addressed is the absence, within the organization, of a formally documented accounting policy for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of revenue generated from engineering service contracts, which constitute the entity's main economic activity. This gap may result in untimely, incomplete, or non-comparable recognition of this item in the financial statements, which could undermine the trust of third parties. To address this issue, a diagnosis of the company's current accounting practices was carried out in accordance with the criteria established in Section 23. As a result, an accounting policy was developed that defines the scope, definitions, recognition criteria, the measurement basis at the fair value of the consideration received, and the disclosure requirements applicable to the company's revenue. This policy constitutes a useful internal control tool for managerial decision-making and for building trust with future investors or other third parties interested in the project.
Propuesta metodológica de educación ambiental para la paz orientada al fortalecimiento del Servicio Social Estudiantil Obligatorio en Colegio Metropolitano del Sur
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-11-05) Parada Monsalve, Dayana Camila; Correal Torres, Paula Nathalia; Universidad Santo Tomás
Problem: Socio-environmental issues and educational limitations in understanding territorial conflicts highlight the need to strengthen youth participation and peacebuilding. Objective: To design a methodological proposal for Environmental Education for Peace aimed at strengthening the Compulsory Student Social Service among tenth- and eleventh-grade students at Colegio Metropolitano del Sur in Floridablanca, Santander, Colombia, by promoting youth community participation and understanding of local socio-environmental conflicts in relation to Sustainable Development Goals 11, 13, and 16. Method: Basic research was conducted using a qualitative approach and a descriptive-propositional scope, employing a hermeneutic method and documentary and fieldwork techniques. The study analyzed legal and public policy frameworks, twenty semi-structured interviews, student surveys, territorial field visits, and institutional documents. Results and Discussion: The legal analysis highlighted the importance of integrating environmental education, citizen participation, and peacebuilding. The interviews identified concerns regarding waste management, water pollution, biodiversity loss, and socio-environmental conflicts, as well as the need to strengthen territorial awareness and youth participation. The institutional and student assessment revealed opportunities to link the student social service with the School Environmental Project (Proyecto Ambiental Escolar, PRAE) and school-based environmental initiatives. Based on these findings, the Estrategia de Ecopaz (Ecopaz Research and Action Group) was designed as a 90-hour strategy organized into five modules, integrating critical environmental education, territorial awareness, conflict analysis, youth participation, and action research.
Propuesta de Diseño Arquitectónico de una Plaza de Mercado Sectorial con Capacidad de 750 para el Municipio de Piedecuesta Santander, Colombia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 0005-11-26) Niño Blanco, Lizeth Johana; Ríos Vargas, Edwin; Universidad Santo Tomás
The project proposes the architectural design of a new local marketplace—with a capacity for 750 people—in the municipality of Piedecuesta, Santander. It aims to strengthen the supply and commercialization of agricultural products, while also creating a space for social interaction and integration. As part of the diagnostic phase, existing marketplaces (Plaza Central, Plaza Cabecera del Llano, Plaza Campesina, and Plaza Coliseo de Ferias) are identified and analyzed to assess their locations, service coverage, and current operational conditions. This analysis helps identify areas already served, pinpoint existing physical, spatial, and sanitary challenges, and determine which sectors require new supply infrastructure. Based on this assessment, a new marketplace is proposed for a specific area of the municipality that addresses the identified needs. The design features a functional spatial organization, ensures proper accessibility, and complies with all technical and regulatory requirements—thereby fostering commercial activity and integration with the surrounding urban environment.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-11-04) Zafra Pinto, Fabian Andrés; Pardo Valenzuela, José Eduardo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001346846; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=CxHOZaQAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0386-8740
Active and Inclusive Classrooms is a pedagogical initiative designed to transform the educational experience within an institution characterized by cultural and socioeconomic diversity. The project emerged as a response to low levels of student motivation and limited classroom participation, mainly associated with traditional teaching methodologies. Through a comprehensive approach based on Project-Based Learning (PBL), collaborative work, inclusive education, and the use of technology, the project aimed to foster meaningful learning and improve school coexistence. The proposal was structured in phases of diagnosis, design, implementation, and evaluation, involving students, teachers, and school administrators. The results showed an increase in student participation, the strengthening of socio-emotional competencies, and greater adoption of innovative strategies by the teaching staff. The project concludes that active and inclusive methodologies constitute an effective alternative for promoting a more participatory, equitable, and student-centered education.
