The technology in the control of emissions of polluting gases has developed remarkably in the last years since the effects of these chemical residues are very remarkable in the damage to the ecosystem in general, since this is reflected in the global warming and in the Greenhouse effect, this has allowed the automotive industry to focus on producing vehicles with a low emissions index to collaborate with the care of the environment, in the same way the systems have been improved so that pollution in general is That from a carburizing system an electronic system was developed that considerably reduced pollutant emissions. More and more technology is being developed and electronics are more important to help with emissions control. The future in the automotive industry to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases are hybrid vehicles. The aid of sophisticated and specialized equipment to determine the exact values ​​of emissions of polluting gases play a fundamental role in helping the user or the technician in controlling that these gases do not exceed the values ​​established by the organism that controls those gases.

The objective of this project is to analyze the lighting levels of 5 different types of Vehicle. In your analysis we will check the cost analysis of the headlights and the high and low lights of the 5 vehicles. For this analysis of light measurements we will use an APP (application) called "Lux" which is a program that verifies the intensity of the light that is in the environment and using a cell phone sensor. For the use of the APP, it would be better to appreciate it at night, it is safer to have a better lighting system.

The devaluation of the Colombian peso against the dollar, the application of safeguards by the Ecuadorian government, the drop in the price of oil worldwide, among other factors, depressed border trade in Ecuador, essentially in the province of Carchi where the main income economic is by commercial activities with the department of Nariño, south of Colombia. One of the measures adopted by the Government of Rafael Correa was to declare the Province of Carchi as "depressed area" on August 18th, 2015, and whose objective was that merchants registered in the Internal Revenue Service SRI, can acquire products in Colombia to sell them in your locality at competitive prices generating commercial reactivation. This research uses the analytical and systemic method, with a technical approach applied in two cases of companies in the commercial sector, using projections with a polynomial tendency to reach diagnostic conclusions.

The article based its research on establishing the relationship between the visual perception and the writing skill of children from the second, third and fourth year of General Basic Education of the School San José “La Salle” of Quito city in the school year 2016-2017. By considering that the visual perception allows the cortical recognition, resulting from the subjective sensory experiences. Specifically, of the stimulus that enters by the eyes. On the other hand, the writing is a graphic representation that enables the record of human thought and the optimal transmission of data and information to relate to the medium in which the person develops. It is based on the quantitative approach, on a documentary, field, and descriptive research. The theoretical framework is duly supported. The results manifest that a great percentage of children present difficulties in visual perception, basic pre-requisite skill for learning of writing, thus implying the existence of errors in it. It concludes that absence of skills of visual perception, therefore, intervention by teachers is essential, in order to reduce possible writing difficulties for students.
