    To the academic community, readers, and collaborators of International Journal of Information Science and Technological Applications-UAS IJISTA*

    It is a pleasure to greet you on the occasion of the publication of the first issue of the International Journal of Information Science and Technological Applications-UAS IJISTA, an open-access journal edited by the Facultad de Informática of Culiacán at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa. This inaugural issue inaugurates a space for interdisciplinary dialogue that articulates technology, knowledge, and social responsibility, placing information sciences at the center of contemporary debates.

    Two articles directly address the relationship between digital technologies and environmental management: Detection of seismic precursors with a low-cost embedded system and Applications of artificial intelligence for sustainable water management. Both propose solutions aimed at prevention, optimization, and decision-making in contexts of risk and scarcity. The first describes a low-cost device based on magnetometry, designed to detect geomagnetic anomalies that precede seismic events. The second, a systematic review, explores over 150 studies on artificial intelligence applied to drought prediction, water quality, and distribution network management, highlighting the convergence between algorithms, IoT sensors, and geographic information systems (Pérez-Aguilar et al., 2025).

    These papers point out that technological efficiency it is not sustainable by itself; the access, adaptability and the implementation context are considerable factors to have in mind. In environments where the institutional infrastructure it is limited, it becomes essential in these kind of papers to develop technologies that are not only well defined, but sustainable and pedagogical.

    The research projects "Programming languages for statistics: R, Python, and Julia" and "Research and design of software based on the theory of oriented matroids" make a special mention to two complementary areas; The statistical learning and the computational representation of complex mathematical structures.

    The first one previously mentioned evaluates the execution of three programming languages through real datasets and a qualitative rubric. It can conclude that R, by it intuitive syntax, is natural approach to statics as well as its documentation ecosystem, it turns out to be more accessible to educational approaches (Bueno-Rivera et al., 2025). On the other hand, the second one does honorific mention on developing a software in C++ in order to represent oriented matroids, structures that happen to extend the lineal independence notion to geometrical and combinatory domains. The software allows to detect limits in the computational representability of these forms and propose experimental ways to surpass the previously mentioned restrictions (Estrada Aguayo & Montoya Urzúa, 2025).

    It is an honor for us to present to the academic community the Volume 1, Number 2 of the International Journal of Information Science and Technological Applications-UAS IJISTA. With the publication of this issue, we inaugurate a new rectoral term under the leadership of Dr. Jesús Madueña Molina, to whom we sincerely thank for the support provided in making this edition possible. We also extend our best wishes for success in his new role and trust in his commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and social outreach, as outlined in the strategic pillars of the Institutional Development Plan with a Vision for the Future 2029.

     

    This issue reinforces the commitment of the International Journal of Information Science and Technological Applications-UAS IJISTA with the dissemination of rigorous, current, and socially relevant research in the fields of information science, data analytics, and technological applications in educational contexts.

     

    This edition includes five significant and contemporary contributions in the fields of information science and technological applications. These studies reflect the breadth and thematic quality of our publication, addressing digital management, STEM education, the application of artificial intelligence in medicine, advanced mathematical methods, and the analysis of the impact of technology use on university students.

    Vol. 2 No. 1 (2026)

    The International Journal of Information Science and Technological Applications (IJISTA), founded by research group of Robotics and Virtual Reality, affiliated with the Faculty of Computer Science in Culiacán at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, presents volume II, number 1 for May 2026. This edition brings together academic contributions that document the progress of applied research in information sciences, technological development, and computational innovation.

    The published articles share a common purpose: to design, analyze, and implement technological solutions that respond to contemporary needs in educational, institutional, urban, and productive contexts. This edition emphasizes the importance of computer science as a transversal discipline that articulates theoretical foundations with development methodologies, experimental validation, and practical application.

    The issue includes five relevant contributions: a comparative analysis of MobileNetV2 architecture performance in precision agriculture; a remote monitoring system to optimize energy consumption in educational institutions; an interactive cartographic tool for Mazatlán that facilitates urban planning; an intelligent assistant based on natural language processing for academic inquiries; and the design of EduSelf, a web application to strengthen self-regulated study habits.

    Collectively, these contributions reflect the thematic diversity and methodological rigor of contemporary research. IJISTA recognizes the transformative potential of this research to address current challenges and develop innovative solutions of social and institutional relevance. The journal is grateful to the authors, reviewers, and contributors who help strengthen its position as a leading platform for scientific dissemination.
