- Examining the level of perceived achievement of complex thinking competency in health sciences students and its relevance to the graduate profile(Elsevier, 2024-06) Suárez Brito, Paloma; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Buenestado Fernández, Mariana; Instituto para el Futuro de la Educación, Tecnológico de Monterrey; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This article presents the findings of a study conducted on health sciences students in their last semester of training regarding their perceived achievement of the complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The objective was to gain insight into how these students perceive the cognitive competencies and skills acquired during their university career as relevant to meet the challenges of their future professions. This study contrasts the perception of achievement of complex thinking competence by gender of the participants, as well as compared to students from other disciplines, with the intention of identifying significant differences. This competency's selection lies in its relevance to decision-making when facing problems, which is fundamental for any contemporary professional. This study relied on a representative convenience sample of graduating candidates from a university in western Mexico. Methodologically, the researchers used descriptive analyses and a validated instrument. The results indicated that the sample students' perceived achievement was very high and balanced, i.e., no significant differences existed by gender or the perception of their sub-competencies. This study revealed a significant difference compared to other disciplinary areas; the medical and health sciences graduate candidates' perceived achievement of competency development was higher.
- Noise emission from alternative fuel vehicles: Study case(Elsevier, 2017-03-01) Ibarra Zárate, David Isaac; Ramírez Mendoza, Ricardo Ambrocio; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; IBARRA ZARATE, DAVID ISAAC; 301007; RAMIREZ MENDOZA, RICARDO AMBROCIO; 60733; LOPEZ CAUDANA, EDGAR OMAR; 69726; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Noise pollution has become a source of social tension, with economic development on one hand and quality of life on the other. The number of vehicles on the road is increasing constantly, especially in urban areas. As a consequence, environmental pollution has also increased, not only due to fuel emissions harmful to people, but also due to noise pollution; therefore, the control of the acoustic environment has turned out to be a key issue and a technological challenge. According to Ibarra et al. there have been recent studies on the quantification and characterization of noise emitted by vehicles in the near and far fields, but this kind of work has mainly been developed for internal combustion vehicles fuelled by diesel or petrol. With new emerging technologies aimed at improving world social and environmental conditions, new alternative fuel vehicles are appearing around the world, especially in large cities. These new vehicles have not yet been characterized regarding their noise emissions. The aim of this work is to characterize and quantify the level of noise emitted by alternative fuel vehicles, such as hybrid and electric vehicles, for both near and far fields. To achieve this, it would be very useful to incorporate simulations of noise mapping. Experimental results of this work demonstrate that hybrid and electric engines have made important contributions towards reducing engine noise in suburban and urban traffic, at least 10 dBA less than diesel or petrol vehicles; however, noise from the tyre-ground interaction remains the main source of noise, especially in suburban roads at high speeds.
