| 1 | Juan David Solarte Moreno | Jhon Alexander Guerrero Narváez | Application of Spectral imaging and vegetation index in Latin American coffee production: A systematic mapping | Apraez, Laura Sofia Caicedo, Andrés Felipe Solis Pino, Andres Ossa, Carlos Iván Vasquez, Juan David Solarte, Efrén Venancio Ramos Cabrera, and Saul Eduardo Ruiz. 2025. “Application of Spectral Imaging and Vegetation Index in Latin American Coffee Production: A Systematic Mapping.” Land Degradation & Development 36(2):337–49. doi: 10.1002/LDR.5373. | Coffee production is a crucial economic, social, and cultural pillar in Latin America, facing numerous challenges, including integrating technological advancements such as multispectral imaging. This approach offers multiple advantages for coffee production; however, a knowledge gap in the domain is the need to methodologically review the available empirical evidence to delineate the field and the study region. Therefore, this systematic mapping aims to map the scientific corpus of multispectral imagery and vegetation index implemented in coffee production in the Latin American region. The study followed the PRISMA protocol; 42 primary studies were analyzed to identify key trends and research gaps. The main result of this research is that NDVI emerged as the most widely used spectral index, with applications in estimating critical biophysical parameters such as biomass and chlorophyll content. Other indices such as GNDVI, NDRE, and SAVI also proved valuable in assessing coffee plant health and development. There was an emerging trend to integrate multispectral imaging with machine learning techniques, promising greater accuracy in data interpretation. The study also revealed a concentration of research efforts in selected Latin American countries, particularly Brazil, indicating opportunities to expand research in other coffee-producing regions. The study's main conclusion is that multispectral imaging, mainly through vegetation index, has emerged as a valuable tool for phenological monitoring and management of coffee production, offering several advantages over traditional methods. Finally, this review contributes to the existing knowledge base and identifies future research directions for applying multispectral imagery to sustainable coffee production in Latin America. | A1 | Corporación Universitaria Comfacauca |

This infection is contracted for various reasons, mainly related to poor sanitary conditions and inadequate food practices, leading to multiple health issues such as malnutrition, intestinal obstructions, epilepsy, and others. Identifying parasitic species is essential for establishing appropriate antiparasitic therapy, which in turn helps reduce the risk of associated morbidities. For this reason, a dataset named “ParasitoBank” was created, containing 779 images of the visual field of fresh stool samples analysed under a microscope using the serial coprological technique. These images were acquired using a Motorola G84 mobile phone, and a data-labeling process resulted in a total of 1,620 intestinal parasites, with a particular focus on intestinal protozoa. The images have an approximate aspect ratio of 1:1 with a resolution of 2100 × 2100. Label information and some metadata for the images have been included in a JSON file following the “Common Objects in Context” (COCO) format. Finally, the entire dataset and label content have been arranged in a compressed file. The presented information facilitates the use of the data for various studies, spanning education and artificial intelligence development. | B | Universidad Del Cauca |
| 4 | Fabian Camilo Martínez Silva | Carlos Alberto Cobos Lozada | Una revisión sistemática de las herramientas de inteligencia artificial explicable usadas en métodos de ensamble. | Martínez Silva, Fabián Camilo, and Carlos Alberto Cobos Lozada. 2025. “Una Revisión Sistemática de Las Herramientas de Inteligencia Artificial Explicable Usadas En Métodos de Ensamble.” Revista Facultad de Ingeniería, UPTC. | Machine Learning models are increasingly used due to their high predictive performance. However, in critical areas such as healthcare, security and defense, and finance, there is an urgent need for models that are also explainable. Generally, more complex models —such as Deep Neural Networks and ensemble methods— achieve the best results in high-complexity problems; nevertheless, their lack of transparency limits their application in areas that require understanding the decision-making process. Given that ensemble models achieve the best performance in various applications (as seen in Kaggle competitions, particularly XGBoost), this paper presents a systematic literature review of articles published between 2019 and 2024 on the use of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) tools in ensemble models. The methodology is based on the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham and others, which include planning and execution of the review along with reporting the results obtained. Research results shed light on the benefits and challenges of using XAI in ensemble models to support decision-making and contribute to the social right of explaining such decisions. In addition to identifying research areas and contexts where these models are most applied, opportunities for future research are highlighted. It concludes that there are promising tools and approaches that enable a better understanding of the logic behind these models and greater transparency in results; it also identifies areas for improvement and the need to continue researching to address the challenges associated with the explainability of ensemble models. | B | Universidad Del Cauca |

This article proposes to unify information related to analyti-cal methods of these materials in soil and water matrices, obtaining results such as selective sampling and reduced volume, which are sample collection techniques for the terrestrial environment, as well as the reagents used in the processes of separation by density and degradation of organic matter. In the case of the aquatic matrix, the collection process must be carried out taking into account the environment in which it is found, as well as the micros-copy and spectroscopy processes, which are of great importance for the quantification and classification of these plastic polymers. | D | Corporación Universitaria Autónoma Del Cauca |
| 6 | Karol Daniela Fernández Vargas | Cesar Fernández Morantes | Agroquímicos y foto-fenton: Una revisión sistemática de los impactos socioambientales y parámetros óptimos de remoción de contaminantes | Vargas, Karol Daniela Fernández, Edwin Sierra-Gaviria, Arnol Arias Hoyos, and César Fernández Morantes. 2024. “Agroquímicos y Foto-Fenton: Una Revisión Sistemática de Los Impactos Socioambientales y Parámetros Óptimos de Remoción de Contaminantes.” Revista Novedades Colombianas 19(2). doi: 10.47374/NOVCOL.2024.V19.2422. | Colombia is known for its diversity and high agricultural production; however, this productivity implies extensive use of agrochemicals. To manage pests, diseases and/or weeds, farmers use different pesticides, which affect water quality and the biota present due to mobility processes through runoff, filtration or leaching. In this context, it is crucial to go deeper into the research carried out in Colombia on emerging contaminants, especially those generated by the use of agrochemicals, and to evaluate the treatment or effectiveness of Photo-Fenton for their elimination. Twenty-five articles that met these criteria were selected for inclusion. From the analysis of the bibliography, several contaminants were identified in water sources, such as aldrin, atrazine, chlordane, dieldrin, DDT, among others. The literature agrees that the efficiency of the Photo-Fenton process is influenced by the concentration of the oxidizing agent and catalyst, as well as by the reaction time, pH and temperature. It was identified in the research that, for the Photo-Fenton treatment of wastewater contaminated with pesticides, a removal be-tween 70% and 100% of the pollutants is recorded under specific conditions, such as a pH of 3.0 to 3.5, H2O2/Fe2+ ratio of 21.2, exposure to 15 or 30 minutes with UV or solar radiation. In conclusion, the Photo-Fenton technique is considered effective for the elimination of agrochemicals, but optimal performance values have not yet been established, which differ depending on the type of pollutant. It is necessary to continue the search for the optimization of these treatment methods to preserve the health of the population, mitigate environmental and ecosystem impacts. | D | Corporación Universitaria Autónoma Del Cauca |

Infants and adolescents with motor disabilities often have low levels of participation, in a variety of settings. The objective of study was to describe the impact on participation and functionality of a sports and leisure program on children and adolescents with motor disabilities. The study had a mixed approach, which allowed integrating in its four phases: strategies, techniques and qualitative and quantitative instruments for the design and development of the program. The literature review and approach to the population allowed to base the program design. The level of participation of the children and adolescents was determined (through the CASP), as well as their functional independence (through the Weefim). The narrative literature review allowed the identification of barriers and facilitators and the activities recommended for the population. The implementation of the program in an IPS allowed the innovation in processes assistance and finally the evaluation of the perceived impact of the program. The results indicate that the interventions developed generated positive changes in the levels of participation and functionality of children, with perception of satisfaction in infants and caregivers.In conclusion, the program represents a significant advance in promoting the participation of children and adolescents with motor disabilities; however, further efforts are required to address existing barriers and strengthen the participation of families, health professionals and the community, as well as to determine the impact and sustainability over time. | A1 | Fundación Universitaria María Cano |

Water security is a major challenge in the Upper Cauca River Basin (UCRB), where pollution, hydrological variability, and limited in-situ data hinder assessments. This study employs Remote Sensing (RS) to ensure continuous water quality monitoring, overcoming access and security challenges. The approach includes: (i) automatic segmentation of inland water bodies using four methods (Otsu, region growing, NDWI-based segmentation, and Random Forest); (ii) application of the C2RCC algorithm to estimate water quality parameters (e.g., chlorophyll-a, TSM); (iii) extraction of statistical data on area variation, NDWI, and water quality; and (iv) provision of key insights for decision-makers. Using Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 (2014-2021, 2020-2021), and PlanetScope imagery for validation, this study advances large-scale, remote water monitoring in the region. | A1 | Universidad Del Cauca |

These were then compared with commercial brands (TP and HC). Proximate analysis, anti-radical capacity (determined using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays), and antinutritional compounds (tannins, phytates, and saponins) were quantified. The TCT and TP treatments exhibited relatively low contents of tannins (3.78 ± 0.01 and 2.55 ± 0.02 mg/100 g sample), phytates (3.073 ± 0.004 and 3.214 ± 0.001 mg/100 g sample), and saponins (0.496 ± 0.005 and 0.437 ± 0.002 mg/100 g sample) in comparison to the treatments (TST and HC). Accordingly, TCT, TP, and TMH were selected for the determination of rheological properties and in vitro protein digestibility, as well as the evaluation of interfacial potential at varying pH (4, 5, 7, 9) and temperatures (25°C, 40°C, 55°C). The thermo-mechanical and chemical treatments result in alterations to the configuration of the proteins, which are characterized by the formation of specific secondary structures, including β-sheets, random coils, α-helices, and β-turns. These structural changes impact the interfacial potential of the proteins, influencing the particle size and the zeta potential. The results indicated that the structural changes caused by the treatments could optimize the use of sacha inchi protein cakes in the food industry, favoring their functionality and use in the development of new products. | A1 | Universidad Del Cauca |

Several studies have shown that flavonoids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce oxidative stress and protecting against cardiovascular diseases. In addition, their ability to stimulate nitric oxide production improves blood circulation and lowers blood pressure. These benefits, added to its ability to improve mood and cognitive function, position cocoa as a key ingredient in the development of functional foods aimed at improving quality of life and preventing chronic diseases. This research aims to create a product that incorporates cocoa and essential oils extracted from aromatic plants native to the department of Cauca, representing a significant step towards the sustainable use of these ingredients in the region, promoting the welfare and health of consumers and thus strengthening sustainable practices, innovation and boosting economic and social development in the department. The research is developed in five phases. First, we determined the study area; in the second phase we studied the characterization of the cocoa production chain in the department of Cauca. Then, the essential oils were selected, an experimental design of mixture was applied and finally, physicochemical and microbiological analyses were carried out on the product. From the experimental mixture design, a formulation was found that satisfies the needs and specifications of the bar, which is composed of 60% bitter chocolate (70% cocoa), 29% sweet chocolate, 10% pure strawberry and 1% essential oil of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). The qualitative properties (organoleptic, chemical and microbial) of the selected formulations are acceptable for human consumption and provide a high energy content of 506.25 kcal/100g for the chocolate bars filled with strawberry puree and fennel essential oil. | A2 | Corporación Universitaria Comfacauca |

Accurate models for generating random networks are essential for simulating and analyzing these complex systems. This paper introduces a novel model for generating heterogeneous directed random networks with two distinct node types. Our analysis primarily focuses on two complementary aspects of network structure: modularity and homophily.We analyze how relationships between nodes, defined by model parameters, influence a division of the network into two communities. We present the dynamics and limit value of network modularity, characterizing the presence or absence of communities. Additionally, we explore the dynamics and asymptotic convergence of homophily at node, group, and network levels, revealing how similar nodes form new connections. The study also provides closed-form equations for the limit values of in- and out-degree distributions and the evolution of node degrees over time, elucidating these network properties comprehensively. | B | Universidad Del Cauca |

Traditional crop management is losing validity as rainfall and drought patterns are changing. The objective of this study is to validate a process of Social Appropriation of Knowledge (ASC) with the Association of Women Coffee Growers of Cauca (AMUCC), Colombia, to support decision-making in coffee crop management in the face of climate variability. Through the “dialogue of knowledge”, we exchanged traditional and scientific knowledge on climate monitoring. The methodology implemented took into account community realities and idiosyncrasies in the Caucan territory, using a common language, mostly visual, and based on learning-by-doing in order to achieve the appropriation of technological tools such as water and soil sensors, weather stations and drones. Through visits and field work on the prioritized farms, discussions, presentations and workshops were held with women heads of household, benefiting 145 coffee-growing families. The results showed that the coffee growers appropriated concepts on climate change and the use of technologies for monitoring water, soil and climate. They also recognized the generation of valuable information for decision making in the face of climate variations that protect their crops. This CSA strategy complements traditional coffee management and contributes to the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of AMUCC women. Due to the adaptability and common language used in the validated CSA process, it could be replicated in other rural populations and regions. | B | Universidad Del Cauca |

This study analyzes the correlation between microbiological water indicators and the presence of Helicobacter pylori in a rural aqueduct in southwestern Colombia. Sampling was conducted at three strategic points in the treatment plant, evaluating the presence of H. pylori, total coliforms, and Escherichia coli, along with physicochemical parameters such as turbidity, conductivity, pH, and color. The results indicated a low detection frequency of H. pylori (24.4%), with the highest prevalence at point 3 (33.3%). However, no statistically significant correlation was found between H. pylori and fecal contamination indicators (E. coli and total coliforms). These findings suggest that the presence of H. pylori in water may be influenced by factors other than traditional fecal contamination. | B | Universidad Del Cauca |

However, traditional synthesis methods, both physical and chemical, pose significant challenges, including the use of toxic reagents, high energy consumption, and the generation of hazardous waste. In response to these limitations, green synthesis has emerged as a sustainable alternative, utilizing plant extracts, microorganisms, and biomolecules as reducing and stabilizing agents in nanoparticle production. This review article compares the key characteristics of traditional and green NP synthesis methods, analyzing their impact on morphology, colloidal stability, biocompatibility, and industrial scalability. Conventional techniques such as chemical reduction, laser ablation, and arc evaporation are discussed and contrasted with biological approaches based on microorganisms and plant extracts. Additionally, the benefits of green synthesis are explored, including reduced toxicity, lower environmental impact, and the production of bioactive nanoparticles, which expand their applicability in biomedicine and nanotechnology. Finally, future perspectives for the industrial-scale implementation of green synthesis are presented, emphasizing the need for strategies to improve morphological control and standardization. | B | Universidad Del Cauca |

These changes impact biodiversity and ecological processes, with birds serving as key bioindicators due to their sensitivity and ease of monitoring. In shade-grown coffee plantations, greater structural diversity supports biodiversity and provides refuge for numerous species, mitigating the effects of climate change. This system, prevalent in Colombia, where coffee and biodiversity are both economic and ecological pillars combine sustainability and conservation, standing out in local initiatives such as those led by the Cauca Women Coffee Growers Association (AMUCC). A study conducted in El Tambo, Cauca, recorded 111 bird species across three types of cover (shade-grown coffee plantations, open-sun plantations, and forest fragments). Shade-grown coffee plantations had the highest species richness (83 species), followed by forests (65) and open-sun coffee plantations (55). The recorded bird species play essential roles in ecosystem services such as biological control, pollination, and seed dispersal. The results highlight the importance of shade-grown coffee plantations as biological corridors that promote ecological connectivity and resilience to climate variability. Social engagement workshops with AMUCC demonstrated that integrating traditional and scientific knowledge strengthens understanding of biodiversity's value and promotes sustainable agroforestry practices. This management approach benefits both the environment and communities, enhancing coffee quality and long-term productivity. |

Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the tropics and represents a significant economic resource for Latin American exports. However, the importance of polyculture coffee agroecosystems has been recognized for several years due to their ability to support biodiversity. These systems exhibit greater heterogeneity and structural complexity, as they include a higher diversity of plant species, which in turn provide a variety of food sources and shelter for resident and migratory birds. This contrasts with coffee plantations that use little or no diversified shade. The objective of this study was to assess the richness and abundance of avifauna associated with two types of coffee production systems in the Popayán-Cauca: coffee plantations with diversified shade and those with full sun exposure. A total of 318 individuals corresponding to 61 resident species and 7 boreal migrants were recorded, of which 64 were found in the polycultures and 32 in the monocultures. According to the classification by trophic guilds, in both systems, medium-sized frugivorous-insectivorous birds predominated, followed by a greater proportion of granivorous birds in the monocultures, while in the polycultures, insectivorous birds stood out, which can play a relevant role in the biological control of invertebrates. Once again, the importance of promoting and maintaining diversified production systems that contribute to biodiversity conservation is emphasized. | C | Universidad Del Cauca |

Ramos, Luisa Damaris, Alfonso Enrique Ramírez, and Cristian David Miranda. 2025. “Acidic Eco-Catalysts Derived from Coffee Husks in the Acetylation of Glycerol.” Tetrahedron Green Chem. | The transformation of coffee husks into solid acid catalysts (eco-catalysts) was studied. The synthesis of the materials consisted of the elaboration of carbonaceous supports by thermal means [graphitic carbon (Cp) and biochar (Cc)], followed by functionalization with sulfonic groups, by means of two techniques: i) in situ diazotization with sulfanilic acid (SD) or ii) direct sulfonation with sulfuric acid (SA). The density of acid sites (-SO3H) present in the materials was determined by elemental analysis and additionally characterizations such as TGA, XRD, TEM and FTIR spectroscopy were performed. The catalytic properties of eco-catalysts in the glycerol acetylation reaction were studied and compared with a commercial sulfonic resin, i.e. Amberlyst® 15. It was found that all of them were more active compared to Amberlyst ® 15. CpSA showed the highest conversion and selectivity towards triacetin, the product of interest. | D | Universidad Del Cauca |

Fermentations were conducted for 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 hours, maintaining a controlled temperature of 23 °C. Physicochemical variables (pH and °Brix), phenolic content, antioxidant capacity (ABTS and FRAP), and sensory attributes were analyzed following the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol. The results showed a progressive decrease in pH and °Brix throughout the fermentation process, reaching final values of 3.68 and 9.97, respectively. Phenolic content significantly increased up to 48 hours, peaking at 2262 ± 38 mg GAE/100 g d.w., followed by a decrease at 60 hours. Antioxidant capacity, measured through ABTS and FRAP, exhibited a similar trend, with maximum values at 48 hours (4596 ± 8 mg TE/100 g d.w. in ABTS and 11400 ± 80 mg GAE/100 g d.w. in FRAP). In the sensory analysis, the 48-hour fermentation achieved the highest score (85.50), followed by the 60-hour fermentation (84.50), both classified as specialty coffees. Distinct sensory profiles were identified, with honey, caramel, and citrus fruit notes prevailing at these optimal fermentation times. These findings confirm that SIAF enhances the chemical and sensory quality of coffee, providing a viable alternative for optimizing post-harvest processing and increasing the competitiveness of coffee in specialized markets. | D | Universidad Del Cauca |
