An MRAP vehicle was hit by a 500 lb bomb but the unusual construction of the vehicle allowed everyone inside to survive. The blast destroyed the vehicle, picked it up, and turned it around but only gave the driver some broken ribs. The reinforced bottom of the vehicle, resembling a ship's hull, protected the soldiers from the large explosion directly beneath them.Virtual educa2013arellys16

Este documento propone un modelo hol鱈stico para evaluar la calidad educativa en instituciones de educaci坦n superior p炭blicas desde la perspectiva de la responsabilidad social universitaria. La calidad educativa es un concepto complejo con diferentes definiciones que dependen del contexto. Existen muchos modelos para evaluarla pero ninguno considera factores internos y externos de manera integral; por lo que este modelo eval炭a la calidad a trav辿s de siete ejes que incluyen la perspectiva de responsabilidad social.I Teach 03 09 2
