For this purpose, different databases such as Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, Taylor and Francis, institutional repositories such as that of the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (RIUD), the Universidad Nacional de la Plata (SeDiCI) and the Google Scholar search engine were used. Seven investigations were found in Central and South America (2 from Cuba, 1 from Argentina, 1 from Bolivia and 3 from the collaboration between Cuba and Argentina) where native and exotic plants were studied, evidencing 3 species studied in common (Piper auritum, Syzygium aromaticum L, Origanum vulgare L, Thymus vulgaris, L and Allium sativum) with Piper auritum being native (Mexico to Colombia), in these common active components are identified in plants such as Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris, Satureja boliviana, Piper auritum and Citrus aurantium, including linalool, thymol and carvacrol. Thymol and carvacrol, more effective as antimicrobials and antifungals than linalool, whose main activity is to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, inhibiting key metabolic pathways. A comparison of these studies was made at an international level, finding that the most advanced country in terms of research on essential oils and their application as a natural biocide in cultural heritage is Italy, followed by other European countries (Portugal, Serbia, Malta, Poland, Greece and Romania). In both regions, basic techniques are used for the extraction of oils (steam distillation and hydrodistillation), however, advanced techniques are also used in Italy (supercritical CO2 extraction and cold pressing). It is observed that there are plants that are worked both in Central and South America as well as in European countries, these are Lavandula angustifolia, Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris and Rosmarinus officinalis, with active compounds such as linalool, 1,8-cineole, thymol and carvacrol.Ítem Hacia una educación inclusiva: aplicación de diseños curriculares flexibles en la construcción de espacios educativos libres de barrerasMendoza Castiblanco, Julián Eduardo; Mosquera Suárez, Carlos Javier; Mosquera Suárez, Carlos Javier [0000-0001-8640-0803]The present work entitled Towards an inclusive education: application of flexible curriculum designs in the construction of barrier-free educational spaces, is presented in the regulatory framework of the Francisco José de Caldas District University in agreement 012 of December 13, 2022, which regulates the guidelines for the development of degree work for undergraduate students, under this framework, an agreement of wills is made between the Francisco José de Caldas District University and the Villemar el Carmen District Educational Institution where the conditions and requirements of the work to be carried out in the institution, understanding that the educational institution carries out the inclusion process in the classrooms governed by decree 1421 of August 29, 2017, which defines inclusive education and allows evidence of the final work carried out in the institution, the which had a general impact in the area of Natural Sciences.

The study highlights computational molecular dynamics as an advanced tool successfully applied to analyze the molecular complexity and chemical structure of HA at the molecular scale. The study covers various application areas of humic acids, emphasizing their relevance in medicine. Despite the interest in developing drugs from HA, the limited amount of research in this area is acknowledged, though the potential of these compounds as functional agents in the prevention and treatment of various diseases is noted. The review identifies computational simulators, such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which allow for the presentation of the structure and properties of HA related to drug development. These computational models facilitate the estimation of the macroscopic properties of humic substances and their contrast with chemical composition. Additionally, artificial neural network models have been developed, trained on infrared and visible spectra, to estimate the biological activity of HA. Regarding the action pathways of HA on bacterial inhibition, molecular dynamics simulations have provided valuable insights into the molecular structure and properties of humic substances at the atomic scale. This is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of interaction between HA and bacteria, suggesting that their antimicrobial activity may be related to the chemical structure and functional groups present. The study also explores the importance of molecular dynamics as an essential tool in research, allowing the study of a system's evolution over time. In the field of drug discovery, the crucial role of molecular docking is highlighted, facilitating the exploration and prediction of interactions between candidate molecules and their biological targets. Specific studies employing molecular dynamics simulations and humic substance models to explore macroscopic properties and estimate the biological activity of peat-derived HA through artificial neural networks are mentioned. In the final discussion, it is acknowledged that despite advances in computational simulations, challenges remain, especially the need for more sophisticated models and greater computational capacity. Additionally, the importance of experimental validation is emphasized to ensure the accuracy of simulated results.Ítem Potencialidad antifúngica de Guazuma ulmifolia frente a Fusarium oxysporum(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Beltrán Arcia, Keren; Martínez Duarte , Linda Katerine; Castrillón Cardona, William Fernando; Matulevich Peláez, Javier Andrés; Matulevich Peláez, Javier Andrés [0000-0002-6346-510X]The present research focused on determining the antifungal potential of the Guazuma ulmifolia species, located in the department of Tolima, establishing its inhibitory effect against Fusarium oxysporum, a phytopathogenic fungus that affects horticultural, fruit and flower crops.

Different studies of this type of cancer have determined that an increase in the level of expression of the gene that encodes the protein called Insulin-Like Growth Factor type I (IGF-I) is related to the appearance of glioblastoma, being considered as an oncogene. The IGF-I protein is similar to insulin in function and structure, and is a member of the family of proteins that are involved in mediating cell growth and development. Several strategies have been used to treat this disease, but no significant impact has been found on the treatment of this type of cancer or on the life expectancy of patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use antisense and triple helix gene therapy to regulate the expression levels of the IGF-I gene in glioblastoma-type cancer at the Genetics and Chronicles Laboratory of the National Institute of Health and the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Research Group of the Francisco José de Caldas District University. For this, somatic cells of the mouse glioma cell line C6 were used, which were cultured and transfected by lipofection method with the expression vectors pAnti – IGF-I and pMT-EP that had inserted respectively a 540 bp sequence (antisense) and a 23 bp sequence (triple helix). To evaluate the expression levels of the IGF-I gene of the cells, mRNA extraction, quantification and analysis by RT-PCR were performed before and after being subjected to treatment. Also, a fragment of the IGF-I gene from the samples of the mouse glioma cell line C6, frontal cancer and malignant brain tumor (glioma) were sequenced by capillary electrophoresis to determine if there were differences between their sequences with respect to a normal control (white blood cell DNA). The optimal medium for the growth of glioblastoma-type cells was found to be DMEM - Glutamax, for transfection the optimal amount of vector - lipofectamine was found to be 1.5 uL (1: 1 ratio), it was also observed that the time of complex formation between lipofectamine and expression vector was 20 minutes and the optimal exposure time of the cells for the complexes to enter the cytosol was 6 hours. The quantitative real-time PCR study using taqman probes specific for IGF-I cDNA demonstrated a decrease in gene expression of 80% when triple helix therapy was used, compared to the antisense strategy where a 60% inhibition in gene expression was observed. When comparing the sequence of the IGF-I gene fragment from samples from the C6 mouse glioma cell line, frontal cancer, and malignant brain tumor (glioma), no mutations were found, indicating that this type of cell only presents alterations in the IGF-I gene in its degree of expression and not in its sequence. These findings are promising and allow us to propose new research in human cells in vitro and in vivo so that in the future they can be used in humans through the use of cell therapy with the purpose of obtaining vaccines to reduce mortality from this type of cancer that currently constitutes a public health problem worldwide.Ítem Análisis comparativo entre memoria semántica y aprendizaje significativo en los ciclos III, IV y V del colegio rafael maría carrasquillaSarmiento Lozano, Mary Yaneth; Araujo, María LuisaThe internship focuses on addressing the perception of "laziness" towards learning chemistry in cycles III, IV and V of the Educational Institution Colegio Rafael Carrasquilla in Bogota. The aim is to analyse and compare semantic memory and meaningful learning strategies to improve the teaching of chemistry and increase student interest. The importance of teaching chemistry lies in its application to concrete problems and the need to overcome the negative perception of the subject. Semantic memory and meaningful learning are key concepts in the internship, as it will analyse how they influence the acquisition of chemical concepts. The methodology involves classroom observations, interviews and questionnaires, and aspects such as concept retention and the construction of semantic networks will be assessed. The results indicate that effective pedagogical strategies that promote meaningful learning and the formation of strong semantic networks are applied. Students attribute real meaning to chemical concepts and create connections to their everyday life. Comparison of concepts learned in different cycles reveals progress in the construction of semantic memory and the achievement of meaningful learning in chemistry, which contributes to overcoming the perception of "laziness" towards the subject.Ítem Políticas públicas de la licenciatura en química: una perspectiva desde la práctica pedagógicaMonsalve Barrera, María Camila; Oviedo Araujo, María LuisaPublic policies in education are fundamental for the progress of a country, taking into account that they are guidelines for that they are guidelines for implementation based on economic growth and development, as well as on the development plans of each government.
