Ítem Prostitución en Mujeres Adultas Mayores en Bogotá: el Caso del Barrio Santa Fe, Periodo 2024.(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025) Pinzón Leyva, María Del Pilar; Universidad Santo TomásThis article examines the phenomenon of prostitution among elderly women in the Santa Fe neighborhood of Bogotá, within the context of corruption and its societal impact. The study highlights the lack of regulation and the neglect in implementing public policies, which leads to public health problems and crimes related to prostitution. In this scenario, elderly women are particularly vulnerable due to the lack of basic rights such as access to education and health, factors that push them to choose prostitution as a means of subsistence. The research aims to analyze these interconnections through documentary and qualitative analysis, intending to clarify how corruption perpetuates a deregulated environment that makes prostitution an economic option for these vulnerable women, instead of addressing the underlying causes and ensuring their rights. The study underscores the need for effective and specific public policies to protect this demographic group, addressing the structural causes of their exploitation and marginalization, and ensuring their access to essential services and human development opportunities. The results are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between corruption and prostitution, and to promote the well-being of elderly women in the Santa Fe neighborhood, generating a positive impact on their quality of life.Ítem Oportunidad para la Exportación de Productos Farmacéuticos Producidos en Colombia a la República de Panamá(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025) García Romero, Angélica María; Avezuela, Enara; Universidad Santo TomásThe present document deals with the feasibility of exporting antibiotics of general use from the Republic of Colombia to the Republic of Panamá, considering that in view of a comparative advantage, a beneficial framework can be produced both for the pharmaceutical laboratories and the Colombian diplomatic entities present in the Caribbean country.

However, this word has come to acquire multiple meanings and has become a floating category, malleable according to various interpretations and discourses. This monograph intends to demonstrate a change of said meaning for the word "peace" between the administrations of Juan Manuel Santos and Iván Duque respectively; To achieve this, discourse analysis methodology and a comparative analysis of primary sources will be employed —using the social network Twitter as the main source, in addition to official speeches of the previously mentioned presidencies—. The expected result is to identify an antagonistic change of meaning between the previously mentioned administrations. The importance of said result lies in its usefulness to reuse the concept of a "floating signifier" in the analysis of future discursive conjunctures and to open the door for other types of studies, such as the influence that this signifier exerts on the various political parties or even in the way in which the aforementioned governments designed and executed their public policies around the concept of "peace" according to the meaning they assigned to it.Ítem Percepciones e Imaginarios para la Construcción de Paz Territorial en Colombia en el Marco del Acuerdo Final de la Paz: Desde la Iglesia Católica Colombiana(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2023-01-27) Hernandez Nieto, Emmanuel Alejandro; Florez de Andrade, Angelo Nicolay; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001607233; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001875600; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0411-9271; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8588-0833The objective of this article is to identify the perceptions and imaginaries of the Catholic Church in the construction of territorial peace in the PDET subregion of La Macarena-Guaviare within the framework of the Final Peace Agreement.
