Evolución normativa y jurisprudencial de la doble militancia: propuesta de interpretación del elemento modal en la modalidad de apoyo
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-26) Moreno Gómez, Maria Camila; Aranda Camacho, Carlos Andres; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001386650; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=dSn3ju0AAAAJ&hl=es
This research examines the normative and jurisprudential evolution of the prohibition of double party affiliation in Colombia, with particular emphasis on the support modality in political coalition scenarios. Using a qualitative legal-dogmatic methodology and a jurisprudential analysis based on Diego López Medina's method, the study reconstructs the case law of the Fifth Section of the Council of State to identify the origin, development, and scope of the so-called modal element. It then analyzes the principles governing the interpretation of electoral law and the limits of judicial interpretation when restricting the right to be elected. The study concludes that the modal element constitutes a judicial construct lacking an explicit statutory basis, whose application has generated legal uncertainty. Accordingly, it proposes an interpretative approach consistent with the principles of legality, electoral capacity, and the constitutional purpose of the prohibition of double party affiliation, aimed at strengthening consistency and legal certainty in electoral adjudication.
Consideraciones éticas en el uso de la inteligencia artificial en la administración de la justicia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-10) Piragua Perez, Jaime Alberto; López Peña, Edmer Leandro; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001426035; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=lJl_GzoAAAAJ&hl=es
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has established itself globally as a powerful tool for organizing, systematizing, and generating knowledge. It has been integrated into every sphere and space of public deliberation and social development, including the field of law, through activities such as the review of legal norms and laws, the automation of case files, and the drafting of legal documents. This article, therefore, aims to analyze the ethical limits of incorporating AI into the administration of justice. This is a review article derived from research, with a qualitative, documentary approach, for which a narrative literature review is presented, integrating articles and legal scholarship on the judge's interpretive criteria in administrative proceedings and the use of AI in law. The results show that the ethical analysis of AI use in this field has considered aspects such as regulation, data verification, and the need to establish common criteria for the use of this technology by judges and lawyers. It is concluded that AI can be a useful complement for repetitive tasks and improve information visualization, but it can in no case replace the judge's rational judgment.
Análisis Vibracional Como Técnica de Monitoreo de Condición para Apoyar la Gestión de Activos Rotativos Críticos en Colombia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-10) Franco Carreño, Juan Felipe; Pineda Blanco, Maria Magdalena; Universidad Santo Tomás
The International Academic Mission conducted in Mexico provided first-hand exposure to different experiences related to maintenance, reliability, and asset management. During the visits, vibration analysis stood out due to its application in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of critical rotating machinery. These assets may experience degradation mechanisms such as imbalance, misalignment, and bearing defects, which can be detected through vibration analysis, supporting condition-based maintenance decision-making (Mobley, 2002; Randall, 2011; ISO 17359, 2018). This experience motivated an analysis of the opportunities and potential of vibration analysis within the Colombian industrial context. The study was developed based on the knowledge and observations acquired during the academic mission and was complemented by a literature review, including a comparative analysis between the applications observed in Mexico and the implementation opportunities identified in Colombia. The results are intended to establish application criteria for asset selection, the use of vibration analysis, and condition-based maintenance decision-making, in accordance with the asset management principles defined by ISO 55000 (ISO, 2014). Keywords: vibration analysis, condition monitoring, asset management, critical rotating assets, reliability
Obsolescencia Funcional y Técnica De Edificaciones Existentes que Impiden su Adaptación a Las Dinámicas Contemporáneas
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-08) Diaz Corredor, Angela Sofia; Molina Galindo, Emili Molina; Reyes Vargas, Jeimy Alexandra; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=jVKcH4IAAAAJ&hl=es
Contemporary architecture faces the critical challenge of the functional and technical obsolescence of existing buildings, a phenomenon that limits their adaptation to urban dynamics and their operational lifespan. Given this problem, which is manifested in rigid structures and outdated systems, this research aimed to define a set of design strategies capable of optimizing the functionality and adaptability of these constructions, allowing their integration into contemporary programs without sacrificing their memory. The methodology was based on the rigorous analysis of high-level architectural interventions, which allowed for the establishment of a framework of compositional and typological principles. This work contributes four essential design rules: the Mediating Void, the Transparent Envelope, the Architectural Graft, and Circulation as Experience. The central conclusion is that the articulated application of these rules successfully transcends technical and functional obsolescence, transforming the building into a living organism, open to the city, and capable of sustaining new programs with complete formal coherence.
Uso de la Guadua Angustifolia Kunth en la Estabilización de Taludes en Colombia: una Revisión Bibliográfica desde la Geotecnia Vial
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-26) Bolivar Casas, Daniela Fernanda; Rubio Cortes, Angelica Maria; Bernal Villate, Andres Felipe; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001345578; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=cEwppCoAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4873-783X
Slope stabilization is a significant problem in Colombia, especially due to the country's topography. This is compounded by the geological conditions of the territory and human activities associated with infrastructure development, factors that increase the occurrence of landslides and erosion. Traditionally, the most common methods have been retaining walls, anchors, and geosynthetics, which, while structurally effective, often generate significant environmental impacts on ecosystems. In this context, bioengineering emerges as an alternative for slope stabilization using sustainable materials. Among these alternatives, guadua bamboo stands out as a native and readily available species in Colombia, whose use has been documented primarily in surface stabilization processes. Its favorable mechanical properties, rapid growth, and low environmental impact make it a material of interest. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a literature review on the use of guadua bamboo in slope stabilization in Colombia, analyzing its structural behavior and its contribution to environmental sustainability, based on documented studies and experiences. The scope of the research is limited to documentary analysis, without considering practical or experimental applications, in order to contribute to the consolidation of technical criteria that support its use as a sustainable alternative within geotechnical engineering.
