  This undergraduate project, developed as an internal internship, aimed to create a virtual classroom on community-based generation from renewable energy sources in order to strengthen the competencies of current and prospective energy community leaders within the context of Colombia's Just Energy Transition. The methodology included the review and organization of academic, technical, and regulatory sources; the development of the reference framework; the design of educational content and teaching resources; and the structuring of a 25-hour virtual training program, validated with expert guidance. As a result, the module was organized into seven thematic sessions and an integrative workshop covering energy communities, the regulatory framework, solar energy, wind energy, biomass, small hydropower plants, emerging technologies, hybrid systems, impacts, and criteria for selecting alternatives. The virtual classroom proposes a progressive sequence that connects technical foundations with the social, organizational, economic, and territorial conditions required to formulate and sustain community projects. It is concluded that contextualized training is essential to reduce knowledge gaps, promote informed participation, and foster community ownership of energy solutions. Furthermore, technology selection should be based on an assessment of the resource, energy demand, territory, organizational capacity, and regulatory framework, while integrating technical, economic, social, and environmental sustainability criteria.

  Metal music has historically been stigmatized and marginalized due to its aggressive sound and its break from conventional canons. However, this initial rejection overlooks the profound critical content of its lyrics, which directly confront oppressive states, global wars, the dominance of world powers over other countries, police violence, and socio-environmental crises. Beyond a simple manifestation of sonic rebellion, metal constitutes a discursive corpus endowed with a deep awareness and reflection on global issues.By shifting this analysis to the Latin American stage and, specifically, to the Colombian case, this research delves into how this counterculture transcended mere aesthetic expression to face a relentless repressive machinery. In Colombia, the metal scene clashed with the morals of a deeply conservative and Catholic society, the systematic persecution by law enforcement, and the atrocious violence of paramilitarism. In the face of the intolerance and terror experienced by the country, metal emerged as a form of protest and resistance.Based on the articulation between what is understood as counterculture, the historical memory of the national armed conflict, and the analysis of a critical corpus of songs, this work exposes how these musical and lyrical expressions document youth resistance. Finally, based on these results, a pedagogical product is proposed aimed at teaching history and critical thinking within the Colombian context, recognizing the importance of countercultures to understand and transform our social reality

  The REDD+ mechanism was designed to curb climate change and recognize forest conservation. Since its implementation, evaluation frameworks have focused on carbon metrics related to forests, while rendering the social processes of the local communities implementing these initiatives invisible. The objective of this study was to develop a set of criteria and indicators—relevant from an intercultural perspective—to strengthen the evaluation of REDD+ initiatives within Indigenous territories in the Colombian Amazon. A qualitative methodology was employed, integrating a documentary analysis of international and national frameworks with participatory research involving Indigenous leaders, which allowed for a comparison between existing technical structures and local perspectives. The results reveal a divergence in approaches: while international frameworks are robust, they require contextual adaptation; the Indigenous perspective, by contrast, prioritizes self-governance, cultural legitimacy, and territorial harmony over carbon metrics. In response, an evaluation framework was designed, consisting of 30 criteria and 60 indicators. This framework aligns the Cancun safeguards with Indigenous priorities—such as autonomy and protocols for engagement—within a hierarchical structure that integrates technical standards with cultural relevance. The study concludes that this evaluation framework represents a methodological and political advancement. Its application enables an assessment better suited to the Amazonian context, strengthening both Indigenous governance and the sustainability of REDD+ by grounding its effectiveness not merely in emissions reduction, but also in the recognition of territorial autonomy, legal security, and cultural appropriation.

  This study presents a proposal for the most suitable electricity generation system for the Virudó Vacation Complex, located in the village of Virudó, in the municipality of Bajo Baudó, Chocó, Colombia, a territory classified as a Non-Interconnected Zone (NIZ). The research was conducted as an internal internship and aimed to evaluate self-generation alternatives capable of ensuring a reliable, continuous, and economically feasible electricity supply for an ecotourism complex planned in a region with limited access to energy and a strong dependence on fossil fuels. First, a reference framework was developed on self-generation in NIZs, stand-alone solar photovoltaic systems, hybrid generation systems, and small hydropower plants, complemented by an analysis of the Colombian regulatory framework applicable to projects using non-conventional renewable energy sources. Subsequently, the electrical demand of the vacation complex was characterized by a load inventory, hourly consumption profiles, and a ten-year infrastructure growth projection, resulting in a design demand of 75,8 kWh/day and a peak load of 9,6 kW. The assessment of the energy resources available in the area identified an average solar potential of 3,9 kWh/m²/day and favorable hydrological conditions for a small run-of-river hydropower plant. Based on this information, energy modeling and optimization were performed using HOMER Pro software, considering different generation, storage, and backup configurations. The results showed that the optimal alternative is a hybrid system comprising a 5,3 kW hydropower turbine, a 3,3 kW photovoltaic system, a 25 kWh lithium-ion battery bank, a 10 kW converter, and a 10 kW diesel generator for backup. This configuration achieves a renewable fraction of 96,1%, a levelized cost of energy of 1.290 COP/kWh, and a net present cost of approximately COP 540 million, representing a significant reduction compared with conventional diesel-based generation scenarios. In addition, it reduces fuel consumption and avoids approximately 18,8 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year. It is concluded that the combination of hydropower generation, solar photovoltaic energy, and storage is the most suitable technical, economic, and environmental solution to ensure the energy sustainability of the Virudó Vacation Complex and contribute to sustainable tourism development in the Non-Interconnected Zones of the Colombian Pacific region.

  This study seeks to analyze how hiring characteristics affect the salary compensation of industrial and production engineers in Colombia, using public information available up to 2023. Data on job supply and demand from state sources and social networks will be identified and organized, applying the DMBOK process to structure them. The analysis will integrate labor market information to interpret the data and relate hiring characteristics to salary levels. The results will be presented in a report. The study focuses exclusively on the Colombian market and faces limitations such as data quality and source variability. This systematic and rigorous approach aims to provide a deep understanding of salary dynamics, helping to adjust hiring strategies and salary expectations within the current labor market context.
