RESULTADOS: los hallazgos muestran la recurrencia del clima emocional, la convivencia escolar, el liderazgo docente y el uso pedagógico de TIC como ejes articuladores de la proyección social universitaria. CONCLUSIÓN: la producción revisada posee valor académico, pedagógico y territorial, aunque requiere mayor sistematización, publicación y trazabilidad metodológica para fortalecer su visibilidad científica.

This study evaluated the effects of copepod use and copepod conditioning strategies on the growth and survival of long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) juveniles from 1 to 60 days post-parturition (DPP). Four dietary treatments were tested: Artemia enriched for 24 h with Isochrysis galbana (control), daily collected copepods, copepods unfed for 48 h, and copepods enriched for 24 h with I. galbana. Juveniles fed copepod-based diets exhibited significantly higher growth and survival (p < 0.05) than those fed enriched Artemia. Mean standard length increased from 1.3 ± 0.1 cm at release to 5.9 ± 0.2, 7.5 ± 1.4, 7.1 ± 1.2, and 7.3 ± 1.1 cm at 60 DPP for the enriched Artemia, daily collected copepods, unfed copepods, and enriched copepods treatments, respectively. Wet weight increased from 0.002 ± 0.001 g to 0.44 ± 0.07, 0.81 ± 0.40, 0.68 ± 0.30, and 0.76 ± 0.40 g, while final survival reached 20%, 60%, 33.3%, and 56%, respectively. Compared with enriched Artemia, copepod-based diets markedly enhanced juvenile performance, supporting faster growth and promoting favorable behavioral traits that contributed to improved survival. These results demonstrate that copepods constitute a superior live feed for early juvenile H. guttulatus; however, copepod conditioning strategies directly influence their nutritional quality and, consequently, seahorse growth and survival. The use of copepods throughout the first 60 DPP is therefore not only feasible but strongly recommended for optimizing juvenile H. guttulatus rearing performance.

This article systematizes a selection of research projects with social outreach recently developed in the Master's Program in Virtual Education at the Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios (UNIMINUTO) over the last four years. Based on an analysis matrix, a documentary review of titles, problem cores, approaches, objectives, contexts, data collection techniques, contributions, innovations, and sustainability criteria was conducted. The findings show a strong qualitative orientation and a concentration of educational problems situated in rural and urban schools and communities: School Environmental Projects (PRAE) and environmental education, citizenship and human capabilities, life skills, emotional intelligence and coexistence, humanistic competency-based curriculum, teacher leadership and soft skills, digital mediations (OVA/social networks), and strategies for peace and territorial memory. In the discussion, it is argued that the effectiveness of social outreach depends on the instructional design of virtual environments and their articulation with inclusive approaches that integrate pedagogical knowledge and the understanding of learning difficulties.

The paradigm of complexity proposes a different way of understanding the world, knowledge, and science, confronting the reductionist and linear approaches that have dominated Western tradition. This work offers a reflective reading of complexity, focusing on its epistemological foundations and the contributions of authors such as Morin, Prigogine, Maturana, Varela, and Capra, among others. It argues that complexity opens a horizon for reconnecting different areas of knowledge and questioning disciplinary fragmentation, while also allowing us to address natural, social, and cultural phenomena as interdependent and dynamic networks. Finally, the essay suggests that complexity not only introduces a scientific and philosophical shift but also demands a rethinking of ethics and education from relational, contextual, and transdisciplinary perspectives.

This study investigated the effects of copepods and copepod conditioning strategies on the growth and survivorship of long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) juveniles from 1 to 60 days post-parturition (DPP). Four dietary treatments were tested: 24h Isochrysis galbana enriched Artemia (control), freshly collected copepods, 48h unfed copepods, and 24h I. galbana enriched copepods. Juveniles fed any copepod-based diet exhibited significantly higher growth (P < 0.05) and survival than those fed enriched Artemia. Mean standard length increased from 1.3 ± 0.1 cm at release to 5.9 ± 0.2, 7.5 ± 1.4, 7.1 ± 1.2, and 7.3 ± 1.1 cm at 60 DPP for the respective treatments. Wet weight rose from 0.002 ± 1 g to 0.44 ± 0.07, 0.81 ± 0.4, 0.68 ± 0.3, and 0.76 ± 0.4 mg, while final survival reached 20%, 60%, 33.3%, and 56%, respectively. Compared with Artemia, copepods markedly enhanced juvenile performance, supporting faster growth and promoting beneficial behavioral traits which contributed to improved survival. These results demonstrate that copepods as a superior live feed for early juvenile H. guttulatus, but copepod conditioning strategies directly influence their nutritional quality and, consequently, seahorse growth and survivorship. The use of copepods for the first 60 DPP is therefore not only feasible but strongly recommended.

OBJETIVO: tiene como propósito comprender la epistemología a través de sus tres órdenes —primer, segundo y tercer orden—, analizando sus fundamentos, evolución histórica y aportes a la construcción de un conocimiento más complejo e integrador. Se propone un recorrido que va desde el objetivismo clásico hasta la complejidad transdisciplinaria, en el marco del diálogo inter y transdisciplinario. MÉTODO: se realizó una revisión crítica de literatura con enfoque cualitativo, basada en el transmétodo de comprensión inter y transdisciplinar. La selección de fuentes incluyó textos clásicos y contemporáneos provenientes de bases académicas reconocidas, priorizando la diversidad epistémica y el rigor argumentativo. El análisis se organizó en tres dimensiones: evolución histórica, categorías ontológicas-metodológicas y potencial dialógico de cada orden epistemológico. RESULTADOS: el estudio evidencia que los tres órdenes epistemológicos —objetivista, constructivista y complejo— aportan comprensiones diferenciadas del conocimiento. Mientras el primer orden fundamenta la ciencia clásica, el segundo introduce reflexividad crítica, y el tercero propone una integración rizomática, ética y contextual. La articulación de estos órdenes fortalece la praxis investigativa y educativa en contextos complejos. CONCLUSIONES: integrar los distintos niveles epistemológicos en un marco comprehensivo permite superar la fragmentación del conocimiento, con ello, se reafirma la necesidad de fomentar el diálogo inter y transdisciplinario como vía para enriquecer la producción de conocimiento situado, plural y relacional. Se invita a los investigadores a incorporar diversas perspectivas que amplíen y profundicen la comprensión de los procesos cognitivos, sociales y culturales.

En este ensayo se examina cómo los conceptos del homo han sido interpretados en la cultura y filosofía, desde el Homo Sapiens hasta el Homo Transcendentalis. Los objetivos incluyen analizar la diversidad y evolución del género homo a través de un breve análisis de especies y tipos humanos, y explorar la noción del Homo Complexus como un sujeto integrativo y complejo. El método utilizado es sistémico-complejo en particular el transmétodo comprensión inter y transdisciplinar que le apuesta a comprensión compleja de las diferentes categorías del homo. Los resultados revelan una comprensión más profunda de la evolución humana y la posibilidad de integrar estas nociones en una perspectiva dialógica más amplia. Se destaca la importancia del Homo Complexus como una oportunidad integrativa entre, a través y más allá de los diversos tipos de homo señalados.

This experiment aimed to determine the temperature limits beyond which seahorse growth and reproduction become suboptimal due to climate change. Four temperatures (16, 20, 24, and 28 °C) were tested to evaluate their effect on juvenile (1–56 days post-parturition (DPP)) and adult (one year old) long-snout seahorses, Hippocampus guttulatus. Additionally, the reproductive performance of adults was observed. Another experiment measured oxygen consumption (MO₂) in the same age groups and temperatures. Adults showed significantly higher growth rates at 20 and 24 °C compared to 16 and 28 °C. Adult mortality rates were 0%, 0%, 6.2%, and 62.5% at the respective temperatures. Juvenile growth performance was higher at 20 °C and 24 °C but significantly lower at 16 °C and null at 28 °C, with survival rates of 8%, 62%, 10%, and 0%, respectively. Oxygen consumption increased with temperature, ranging from 106.3 ± 3.1 to 203.3 ± 3.1 μmol O₂/g BW/h at 16 °C, and from 127.6 ± 3.5 to 273.3 ± 3.1 μmol O₂/g BW/h at 28 °C for adults and 1 DPP juveniles, respectively. The study highlights that juvenile and adult H. guttulatus have narrow thermal boundaries, beyond which reproduction, growth, and survival are seriously affected. Under climate change, the species appears unable to cope, potentially leading to their rapid disappearance.

This study investigated the effect of partially replacing fish meal with krill and copepod meals in inert diets co-fed with shrimp on the growth and nutrient digestibility of long-snout seahorses (Hippocampus guttulatus). A control diet (Diet 1) using raw starch and four experimental diets with similar protein (≈44.8%) and energy (≈15.1 MJ/kg) levels were tested. Diet 2 used fish meal as the sole protein source, while in Diets 3–5, krill and copepod meals replaced 44% of the fish meal. Seahorses fed shrimp + Diets 2–5 showed significantly higher growth rates (p < 0.05) than those fed shrimp + Diet 1, though there were no significant growth differences among Diets 2–5. Digestibility of dry matter (46.1% to 72.2%), lipids (73.3% to 85.5%), crude protein (89.8% to 95.8%), energy (82% to 92.2%), and phosphorus (28.7% to 64.4%) varied with diet, being consistently lower in seahorses fed shrimp + Diet 1. As an agastric species, H. guttulatus did not exhibit impaired digestibility for any of the tested nutrients, minerals, or energy. This study suggests that crustacean meals can effectively substitute fish meal in inert diets for this species, contributing to the sustainability and optimization of captive seahorse husbandry practices.
