Evaluación del Potencial de Microorganismos Acidófilos en la Disminución de Sulfuros Presentes en Drenajes Ácidos de Minas de Carbón
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-22) Mesa Benavides, Mirley Dayanna; Prieto Mancilla, Laura Valentina; Díaz Bello, Sandra Consuelo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000773050; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=up11esMAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8114-6655
Mining is a fundamental activity for global economic development; however, it also generates significant environmental impacts, most notably acid mine drainage (AMD), considered one of the most persistent environmental liabilities due to the oxidation of sulfide minerals and the consequent release of acidity and metals into the environment. In Colombia, this problem occurs in various mining areas and poses a risk to water resources and ecosystems, which has driven the search for sustainable management alternatives. In this context, acidophilic microorganisms play a crucial role in both the formation and control of AMD, thanks to their ability to participate in the oxidation and transformation of iron and sulfur compounds. This literature review aimed to compile, analyze, and synthesize the available scientific information on the biological characteristics, metabolic mechanisms, and role of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, and Sulfolobus solfataricus in processes associated with acid mine drainage (AMD), as well as their potential application in biomining, bioleaching, and bioremediation strategies. The information gathered highlights the importance of understanding the interaction between these microorganisms and sulfide minerals as a basis for developing environmentally sustainable technologies that contribute to the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of acid mine drainage, especially within the context of Colombian mining.
Informe De Pasantía Profesional En ORBEING S.A.S
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-22) Barrera Bernal, David Orlando; Gavilanes, Jose Dario; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000811297; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=qhXmf8gAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4705-2281
The professional internship was carried out at Orbeing SAS, with a total duration of 601 hours, involving activities in the laboratory and in the field. During this period, the knowledge acquired throughout academic training was strengthened and applied through participation in technical, administrative, and control support processes related to road maintenance projects and material quality control. The field activities included support for the work fronts, one located in the city of Tunja and the other in the municipality of Soracá, participating in road maintenance activities on 6 of the 14 sections in Tunja and on the BTS – Antenas – sector La Y section in Soracá, Boyacá. The main activities carried out included support in construction supervision, preparation of monthly reports, material control, verification of the Quality Plan, completion of site logs and neighboring property condition reports, preparation of work quantity calculation records, monitoring of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and preparation of drawings corresponding to Traffic Management Plans. In the laboratory area, participation was carried out in material control and verification activities, applying procedures established in the standards and specifications of INVÍAS, NTC, and ASTM, as applicable. The experience made it possible to strengthen competencies related to construction supervision, quality control, document management, interpretation of regulations, technical information management, and teamwork. It also contributed to the development of skills for dealing with real situations in the professional environment and understanding the importance of coordinating field, laboratory, and document management processes for the proper development of road maintenance projects.
Intervención del Estado colombiano frente al uso ilícito de inteligencia artificial y su impacto en el derecho humano a la propia imagen. Análisis comparado entre Colombia y Brasil
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-23) Ruiz Piñeros, Jairo Odair; Perez Lizarazo, Bridgeth Yorlady; Pérez Pereira, Yesica Alejandra; Moncada Flórez, Juan Pablo; Universidad Santo Tomas
This reflective article studies the legal and jurisprudential framework of the human right to one's own image and the protection of personal identity in Colombia and Brazil. These rights are currently threatened by the malicious or illicit use of artificial intelligence (AI). It emphasizes that these threats have increased significantly in these two societies, especially the falsification of personal identity through so-called deepfakes and sexual deepfakes. These methods disproportionately affect women and girls as victims, establishing themselves as another form of gender-based violence perpetrated through the use of new technologies. The article describes the illicit use of AI, outlines its main forms, and examines the impact of this technology on the commission of criminal offenses in Colombia and Brazil. It also analyzes the legal interventions in both countries regarding the protection of the right to one's own image against the illicit use of AI. Finally, it examines the state of regulations concerning sexual deepfakes in Colombia and Brazil. With a clearer picture, proposals were made to address existing legal gaps, such as implementing aggravated penalties for criminal conduct in general and for identity theft committed using AI. Ultimately, it was concluded that both Colombia and Brazil have regulatory gaps and that currently, despite well-intentioned bills, any criminalization of these phenomena must be based on pre-existing offenses.
Informe de práctica departamento administrativo de la empresa GVS Colombia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-22) Moreno Bran, Karen Yulieth; Cueto Fuentes , Eduardo Nicolas; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000860930; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WnQLGoUAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2125-6828
This final professional internship report was conducted in the Administrative Department at GVS Colombia (Medellín Branch), a leading distributor of electronic security and technology solutions. From the role of Administrator, a situational diagnostic was carried out, identifying critical optimization opportunities in cash closure processes, staff onboarding, and operational continuity during technical failures. To mitigate these weaknesses, an improvement plan was designed and implemented, consisting of a structured cash closure manual, an automated bank reconciliation model, and a digital document backup protocol. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in daily balancing times, the elimination of training gaps, and the safeguarding of the logistics flow for shipments and inventory, aligning local administration with the organization’s standards of operational excellence.
Latam bi
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-22) Roa Amaya, Samuel David; Alain; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7586-2022
Este trabajo de grado desarrolla un plan de mejora para el área de Innovación de Schneider Electric, a partir de una necesidad puntual, la identificación de proyectos de inversión en distintos países de América Latina se hacía de forma manual y tomaba demasiado tiempo. Antes de la solución, encontrar esta información implicaba buscar entidades que publicaran proyectos, revisar sus páginas una por una y descargar archivos que después había que consolidar, limpiar y presentar a los equipos comerciales y de estrategia. Ese ciclo completo podía tomar cerca de tres semanas, dos de búsqueda y una de limpieza y armado de presentaciones. Como respuesta se desarrolló LATAM BI, una plataforma de inteligencia comercial que automatiza la búsqueda y priorización de proyectos de inversión. Además, verifica el origen de cada uno con un componente de trazabilidad, e integra información macroeconómica de cada país relacionándola con los endmarkets de Schneider Electric. Con la plataforma, el proceso que tomaba tres semanas pasó a resolverse en cerca de una hora. En el primer ciclo de uso se identificaron alrededor de quince proyectos nuevos por país que no estaban registrados en BFO, la plataforma comercial interna de la compañía. LATAM BI llegó a ser usada por diecisiete personas de distintas áreas, y su módulo macroeconómico terminó siendo insumo del plan estratégico del clúster ACC con horizonte a 2030. Palabras clave: inteligencia competitiva, inteligencia comercial, automatización, proyectos de inversión, toma de decisiones, inteligencia artificial.
