Citizen security and public policies for crime prevention: a systematic review
A systematic review of the literature on public policies for citizen security and crime prevention was conducted with the objective of identifying the predominant trends, patterns, and approaches in this field. Emerging in the post–Cold War context as a response to militarized security models, the concept of citizen security has evolved into strategies that prioritize the protection of human rights and people’s well-being in the face of urban violence, evidencing a clear transformation in both academic paradigms and public policy practices. Utilizing a rigorous methodology based on PRISMA guidelines, 1,994 records were retrieved from international databases, of which 196 articles met the inclusion criteria. Bibliometric indicators revealed an initially marginal performance during the period 1987–2000, followed by modest growth between 2001 and 2008, and a notable increase starting in 2009, as evidenced by publication peaks between 2012 and 2013. This growth is associated with shifts in political agendas and the expansion of scientific infrastructure. The review also highlights the geographic diversity of academic production, with developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States leading in publication volume, while research from Latin America contributes relevant perspectives on local issues. Overall, the study underscores the transition from traditionally punitive approaches to comprehensive and participatory strategies, while simultaneously providing critical insights for designing more effective public policies adapted to heterogeneous contexts. Keywords: public policy, citizen security, urban violence, crime prevention, governance.

The fantastic in children’s ideas: comparative peculiarities in Rosa and Márquez
This study aims to analyze the texts Partida do audaz navegante (2001), by João Guimarães Rosa, and La luz es como el agua (2005), by Gabriel García Márquez to compare the transposition and/or fusion of the fantastic with the real in the children's universe that permeates these writings. In view of the exposure of the analytical path triggered in this comparative section, the following specific objective was outlined: to identify the resources used in the transposition and/or fusion of the imaginary with the real, in the children's universe of Guimarães and Márquez. To this end, using Content Analysis a tool (Bardin, 1977), the research followed the parameters of qualitative studies (Chizzotti, 2005). With the intention of solidifying the theoretical assumptions that were used by these authors, such as: (i) Comparative Literature - Carvalhal (2006), Kaiser (1980), Remak (1994); about the fantastic - Rodrigues (1988), Todorov (2003), Calvino (2004); (iii) about the analyzes - Bosi (1994), Sperber (1982), Coutinho (1986). In summary, it was concluded, after developing the proposed analysis, that the story by Gabriel García Márquez expresses the impactful force of the fantastic through children's ideas, while the story by João Guimarães Rosa presents some transpositions from the fantastic to the real through the imaginative creativity of the child character Brejeirinha. Propositions of this nature sharpen our view of the different possibilities of comparative reading between literary texts by highlighting different forms of representation.

Postgraduate training needed in Colombia to strengthen governability, democracy and human rights
This research employs a mixed methodology that integrates theoretical and statistical analyses to examine the challenges associated with reducing inequalities in access to postgraduate education in governance, democracy, and human rights in Colombia. The study begins with a comprehensive review of various epistemological and theoretical perspectives to establish a conceptual framework that facilitates an understanding of the role of postgraduate education in strengthening governance and democratic innovation. Subsequently, the specific context of the country is analyzed, highlighting the importance of postgraduate education in meeting research demands and legitimizing knowledge, particularly in rural areas. Finally, the statistical analysis of the existing postgraduate education offerings reveals that they are insufficient, with an even wider gap in rural areas. These findings underscore the urgent need to implement educational policies aimed at expanding access and coverage in the most marginalized territories.

Regional Electoral Coverage 2023 - El País de Cali and El Heraldo: Objectivity or Bias?
This study analyzes the media coverage of the 2023 regional elections in Colombia by the newspapers El Heraldo from Barranquilla and El País from Cali, aiming to identify possible informational biases. The research is based on the theoretical framework of framing, agenda-setting theory, and proximity journalism, evaluating how alignment with political and economic interests influences the treatment of information. Through a qualitative content analysis, it is evident that both media outlets prioritized the coverage of municipal elections over departmental ones, which could limit informational plurality. El Heraldo focused primarily on the Barranquilla mayoral race, while El País from Cali, following its acquisition by the Gilinski Group, adopted a more neutral stance, though with a bias towards the electoral context in Bogotá. The study concludes that apparent informational neutrality does not guarantee balanced coverage, as the reliance on institutional sources and the omission of alternative voices affect the depth of electoral analysis. It is recommended to strengthen the diversity of sources and promote more critical journalism to ensure more equitable and democratic information.

The oral tradition and historical memory as pedagogical strategies for teaching social sciences in the José Consuegra Higgins Educational Institution of the Isabel López district
The objective of this article is to present the research results of the project entitled: “Pedagogical strategies in social sciences for the teaching and conservation of oral tradition and historical memory in the José Consuegra Higgins Educational Institution of the Isabel López district”, analyzing the representative elements of the oral tradition and historical memory of the town of Isabel López, product of the knowledge and wisdom of 192 students from sixth to tenth grade, from a dialogic, comprehensive, multidimensional, complex and human vision. The premise of a methodological proposal from complexity, visualized from the emerging paradigm, reflects an educational reality capable of breaking into the conception of the classroom not only as a physical learning space, linear and modeling knowledge, experiences or practices, towards an education in relation dialogic with interdisciplinary processes, this being an emerging scenario of knowledge and knowledge based on multiple theories, awareness and active participation, for purposes of reflection, training and transformation of the educational community. It is concluded that the oral tradition and the historical memory of the town of Isabel López are considered two key transversal axes of social development, as well as drivers of the curriculum, becoming pedagogical strategies that strengthen the teaching and learning of social sciences.

Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model Applied to Entrepreneurs
This study examines the construct validity and relevance of the categories involved in the UTAUT 2 model in the context of entrepreneurs, aiming to assess whether its concepts are applicable for understanding how this population segment adopts new technologies. Previous technology acceptance models, such as TAM and UTAUT, were primarily designed for employees and consumers, making it an opportunity to conduct a specific analysis to see how they fit the realities of entrepreneurs. Technology plays a key role in the success of entrepreneurial ventures, and entrepreneurs, who often work in dynamic environments, face unique challenges in adopting it. This qualitative and exploratory study is based on interviews with 24 Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs developing startups. From these interviews, the relevance of the various factors in the UTAUT 2 model was analyzed in this group. The results showed that some constructs, such as performance expectancy and effort expectancy, are relevant, while others, such as social influence and habit, play a less significant role for entrepreneurs. Additionally, adaptations to the model are suggested, considering factors such as perceived risk and perceived trust in technology. In conclusion, the applicability of UTAUT 2 to entrepreneurs is discussed, and potential improvements are proposed to better suit the needs of this population segment.

Being part of the war. Narratives of ex-combatants on the armed conflict
The objective of this research was to understand the experiences of ex-combatants from organized armed groups (OAG) involved in the Colombian armed conflict. It corresponds to a qualitative, descriptive-level study grounded in the interpretive–hermeneutic paradigm and supported by the phenomenological method. The study included five ex-combatants from two demobilized OAGs in a municipality of Antioquia, Colombia, who participated in in-depth interviews structured around three analytical categories. The results revealed 1,213 open codifications and 25 axial codes, allowing the construction of four inductive categories—semantic networks. The findings suggest that belonging to an armed group depends on each subject’s perceptions and lived experiences, generally shaped by the need to meet individual or collective needs emerging from adverse contextual conditions.

Spectacularization of intimacy in bus iconography of the Colombian Caribbean from 2013 to 2023.
This article is derived from the research Sign, symbol and language in the iconography of buses in the Colombian Caribbean1. It analyzes the spectacularization of the subject's intimacy represented in iconography that hangs from the bodies of public transportation buses. The aim is to know if these constitute representations of power, territory, history and the cultural identity of the subjects based on iconological communication. The methodological design is based on reviewing an inventory of more than 1,000 photographs recorded over a period of ten years in the main cities of the Colombian Caribbean, with the selection of a final sample of 15 iconography and the same number of semi-structured interviews with bus drivers and owners. The results are interpreted in the light of theorists such as Foucault, Cassirer, Habermas and Debord among others. Within the findings it is revealed that, in some cities, public space is being emptied of signs and symbols that make up the cultural identity of the subjects and replaced by iconic ones of commercial and institutional power.

National stereotypes: the construction of Argentine identity from immigrant life stories
This work is part of an investigation titled “Construcciones de la identidad y la alteridad a partir del signo ‘inmigrante’ en el discurso político y legislativo argentino”. On this occasion, we work with a book published in 2011 by the National Directorate of Migration, that compiles thirty-seven stories about the lives of migrants from different parts of the world. We propose that the book, while composing representations of migrants, builds the identity of Argentines. Therefore, in this paper we investigate what representations -and stereotypes- about Argentines appear in the publication. We consider two strategies are used: 1) the paratexts of the book, where the Argentines themselves evaluate their specificities as a people, 2) the voice of foreigners, who evaluate Argentines in the context of their stories of lifetime. In this work, we analyze both strategies and the linguistic resources by which they are carried out. Our hypothesis is that the prologue and the closing of the book redirect the attention to the construction of an Argentine identity. Furthermore, both in the aforementioned paratexts and in the life stories themselves, a tension is generated between the purely receptive character that is postulated -not only for the government of Argentina, but for its citizens- and certain xenophobic attitudes. We frame our work in Critical Discourse Analysis and our methodology is qualitative.

Building sustainability actions in Latin American and Caribbean cities: perspectives from Afro-descendant community struggles in Colombia and Brazil
In Latin America and the Caribbean, policymakers rarely take Afro-descendant cosmovisions seriously in the design of urban public policies and territorial development. After reviewing the literature on the emerging concept of “urban extractivism”, which implies extreme environmental exploitation, state neglect, illegal territorial domination, socio-economic and racial segregation, we review studies of recent struggles and actions of re-existence that some Afro-descendant communities are taking to influence their daily lives. Focusing on specific contexts in Colombia and Brazil, we find that some of these communities’ practices mean that an Afro-descendant perspective should be included in the development policy and local planning, as new forms of Right to the City.

Interculturalidad Latinoamericana: agencia política pluralidad epistémica y educación
This article presents certain interpretive trends of Latin American interculturality, its applications, and the key debates it confronts on its path to establishing itself as a political and educational proposal for social transformation. Three perspectives are discussed: interculturality as a leading political concept in the struggles of indigenous movements, interculturality and dialogue of knowledge as ethical-political proposals for acknowledging epistemological pluralism, and finally, interculturality in the educational realm as a fundamental tool for social change. It is concluded that, despite the controversies, interculturality is a theoretical field that allows for continued reflection on the phenomena inherent to spaces of cultural interaction, and enables the development of conceptual frameworks and analytical tools to address the challenges that arise in multicultural contexts.

Sense of Community, Participation and Empowerment of citizens who wish to change their place of residence in Barranquilla, Colombia
The sense of community is a key concept for community psychology and influences empowerment and participation at individual, organizational and community levels. These categories have the property of offering multiple alternatives to articulate processes of change and social transformation, based on the relationship that can be observed between people and social groups within the context in which they develop. The aim of the research that originates this article is getting to know the sense of community, level of empowerment and community participation that the inhabitants of a group of neighborhoods in the city of Barranquilla (north of Colombia) present, but with a special feature: manifesting their desire to change their place of residence. Methods: The study was carried out in 2019 with 1,334 people from Barranquilla (595 men, 739 women). For data collection the "Sense of Community Index 2 (SCI-2)" scales of Chavis and Acosta (2007), the "Empowerment Scale of Zimmerman and Zahniser" (1991) and the "Community Participation scale of Speer and Paterson" (2000) were used. Results: A sense of community, empowerment and participation was found that tends to be low or medium. In addition, a positive albeit slight correlation was found between these three variables. The Sense of community, empowerment and participation were recorded as low at a general level, but these present even lower levels in women and among those who live in rented places. Conclusions: It has been possible to establish that among the people who have openly expressed their interest in moving out of the place where they currently live, there is a low level of sense of community, empowerment, and community participation.

Propuesta metodológica para el análisis de la videopolítica digital desde la perspectiva del análisis del film.
Video politics has been studied from the perspective of Political Science, focusing on verbal discourse and its methods of persuasion, neglecting the structural analysis of audiovisual elements. In this article, derived from a doctoral research, a methodology is proposed that combines film analysis theory, digital communication, and functional discourse theory to analyze digital video political pieces. Through hermeneutic research with a literature review, categories and variables were established, creating a codebook with audiovisual, narrative, and typological characteristics of the pieces. The methodology was tested on 175 pieces and resulted in a method that systematizes audiovisual, narrative, and typological components. Furthermore, it allows for representing the pieces as replicable structural models and comparing their interaction on social platforms.

Normative Evolution of the recognition of rights of black communities in Colombia
The objective of this review article, carried out within the framework of the research project entitled Level of Self-recognition and cohesion of the black and Afro-descendant communities of the little town of Rinconhondo, Municipality of Chiriguaná, is to show the historical evolution of the recognition of legal rights Colombian to the black population. It was carried out through a documentary investigation in sequence, of the norms established for this purpose and an analysis of its compliance. The reflection addresses a chronological journey from the beginnings of the republican life of the country, to the current state of the black communities. As a conclusion, it is indicated that the process of abolition of slavery and the gradual guarantee of rights to black communities in Colombia, has a fairly broad regulatory, constitutional and legal framework; However, the practical complexities entangle its implementation and effective factual materialization, starting with the discriminatory and racist mentality rooted in the Colombian cultural imaginary, the low organizational level, the weak ethnic self-recognition and exclusion, rooted in the cultural practices of some towns.

Interdisciplinary dialogue in the social sciences
Political Science Education in the Digital Age: Perspectives for Higher Education
This paper starts from the task of finding pedagogical circuits that contribute to the improvement and innovation of pedagogical conditions that appeal to the latent potential of students. The question that serves as a beacon is: How are recent waves of change in the political and university arena shaping pedagogical strategies in political science, and what innovations could trigger an optimization of student training? Within this journey, the analysis flows into several estuaries: the current trends in political science education, the challenges that stand as hills in its university teaching, and the seismogram of technological innovations in political science pedagogy. At the same time, pedagogical strategies are outlined, and research tools are proposed as cartographies for political science education. In a last section, the knot of the political science curriculum in higher education is unraveled under the guidance of a qualitative methodology.

A dilemma of gas flaring and venting regulation in Colombia
The paper studies the problems brought about by Resolution 40066 of 2022 of the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Colombia, regarding the new requirements it sets up for the flaring and venting of natural gas in Colombia. These requirements, which must be followed by the investing companies, imply an investment in infrastructure and technology that may imply a contractual imbalance and a negative impact on foreign investors. From a documentary analysis method with a systematic and deductive approach, the authors analyze the problematic scenario posed by the resolution and concludes that it is necessary to find a balance between the two legal interests at stake: the environment and free enterprise. As a result, the paper supplies a comprehensive and integrative view of the State's obligation to protect the environment, but also to ensure a stable and predictable legal framework for investments.
