Vol. 3 No. 2 (2022)

We are pleased to present issue 2, volume 3 of the ODIGOS Journal, the second of the year 2022. In this opportunity we make available to the entire academic community 05 articles as a result of researches elaborated with high scientific and methodological rigor, and that contribute significantly to various areas of knowledge.

As in all our publications, the papers submitted have gone through a process of selection, refereeing, correction and editing, which are in accordance with the lines approved by the Universidad Tecnológica Israel, the publisher of our journal.

In this sense, the papers presented are:

"Internet of things system for ultraviolet index monitoring in the community of Chirinche Bajo" is the title of the first article presented, in this, the authors determine as an objective to develop a technological system based on Internet of Things (IoT) to report the ultraviolet index (UV) to which the farmers of the community of Chirinche Bajo in Ecuador are exposed and take precautions to go out to their daily work. The article is an initial contribution to create a culture of information and technological development in rural agricultural areas of Ecuador.

The second published work is entitled "Management in the process of searching for events in a variable range of 50 km distance", which proposes the development of a mobile application for the notification of new events with a proximity of about 50 km; this is considered only for places near Quito. The main objective of this work is to improve the knowledge for users of the creation of new cultural or entertainment events, close to their geographical location, by using an App for the Android platform for the front-end part and an API in Laravel for the back-end.

On the other hand, the authors of "Environment purifier system for offices with monitoring through IoT" present the development of an automated environment purifier system for offices of 30 square meters and with monitoring through an Internet of Things (IoT) platform. This platform displays temperature, humidity and ozone concentration data to establish the operating curves and working times of the equipment. Thus, it is possible for users to access and verify the information from anywhere with an internet connection.

While in "Artificial intelligence and computer vision applied to education", a literature or bibliographic review is presented on new technologies such as: artificial intelligence, computer vision, MediaPipe tools and automatic learning, with the aim of generating a technology proposal to improve the quality of classes. The current situation of students with respect to virtual classes is described, definitions are included and explained, as well as the functioning of the different topics, and their applications in daily life are included.

Finally, the last work: "Load balancing and deployment of web applications through Kubernetes", proposes the development of a DevSecOps deployment that solves the need to automate in an optimal and secure way the management of web projects, through the use of DevSecOps best practices. The process starts by implementing a project with a Laravel Framework is stored in the Git repository and generated from the main branch a container image, the same that will be deployed automatically in a Kubernetes cluster with the use of action flow.

The impact of this research, within the scientific community, will allow rethinking models and tools to generate intervention proposals that contribute to the solution of certain existing problems in society, related to the topics discussed here.

Thus, we leave at the disposal of the readers this material for the transfer and dissemination of knowledge.
