The objective of this research is to analyze the level of knowledge in financial education ofstudents in higher education of the city of Armenia 2020-2021. The research methodology is descriptive with a mixed approach since surveys will be conducted with closed questions that generate qualitative and quantitative data. In summary, mixed methods uses evidence from numerical, verbal, textual, visual, symbolic, and other data to understand problems in science. (Creswell, 2013 a and Lieber and Weisner, 2010). This research is expected to collect the factors that affect the financial education of higher education students in the city of Armenia and how they influence the time of future decisions.

Catorce nuevas especies reportadas para la ciencia es el balance que deja la Expedición Colombia BioAnorí, realizada gracias a la Alianza EPM-PNUD, Colciencias y las universidades EAFIT, Antioquia y CES. Se trata de dos cucarrones, diez plantas, un ratón arborícola y un lagarto descubiertos en esa zona del Nordeste antioqueño, cuya exploración se dificultaba hasta hace poco debido al conflicto armado.

The outstanding german philosopher of the XVIIth century, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, justifies the origin of evil as being a privation and makes the distinction between metaphysical evil, moral evil and physical evil. This essay refers basically to metaphysical evil which is the cause of moral evil and physical evil, it traces the origin of evil in St. Agustine, Descartes and Bayle and ancient philosophers like Aristoteles, and contemporaries to Leibniz such as Spinoza and Hobbes. The origin of metaphysical evil as limitation or privation in the human being as something unavoidable because this being is not God, corresponds to the tradition of Christian thought in St. Agustine, St. Thomas and Descartes. In these philosophers we find the origin of evil in the onthological status of the human being. Leibniz's singularity is to justify this world with evil as the best world choosen from de various possible worlds in God's mind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work was focused on developing an elimination process of styrene, an organic compound generating complex odors in air, through the design and construction of a biofiltration system, utilizing bacteria of the Pseudomona aeruginosa and Escherichia coli types stuck on a pumice stone support. Air was contaminated with styrene, in concentrations above the American Standard (TLV 40 ppm, ACGIH Worldwide, 2002), to simulate a hazardous work environment to the human health. To evaluate the efficiency of the system, the contaminated inlet air as well as the outlet flow were analyzed by taking direct styrene concentrations measurements with an organic vapor meter. Initially, the results obtained from the styrene degradation were above 55%, for a five-daily-sampling average during 10 days. This percentage was a consequence of the progressive stabilization process of the system within the first days, so the removal was low. However, average removals above 70% and punctual removals above 90% were reached after the eighth day. The pumice stone support demonstrated to be a good alternative to improve biofilm formation; the rapid micropore saturation guaranteed low adsorption of the organic compound and confirmed the elimination of styrene via biodegradation.

The use of virtual media as a support to formal higher education requires a methodology able to support the teacher's specific educative needs and the pedagogical requirements of diverse subjects and knowledge areas. This paper presents the methodology used on the construction of Learning Virtual Environments as a complement to the face to face activities of ten different disciplines courses on the Universidad de los Andes, at Bogotá (Colombia). The procedure and balance of this methodology are part of the reflection contained in this document. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
