Regarding intermodal urban transport systems for passengers, there is no recognized standard for performance analysis. Detecting the weaknesses of such systems can allow managers to carry out more assertive, corrective actions and make them more attractive to users. The main objective of this article is to propose a model for evaluating the performance of intermodal travel for passengers in urban environments. The exploratory factor analysis was the method used to evaluate and classify the variables that constitute the proposed standard. The results show that the factors related to travel time, infrastructure and available information are the most important characteristics for the interviewed public. The operational performance analysis carried out in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil, reveals the difficulties faced by the citizens while making an intermodal trip, which may be contributing to a reduction in the number of users of the passenger transport system.

“…These values correspond to the measure of sampling adequacy. In this regard García-Santillán et al (2017) explain that the MSA values must be greater than .5, so according to the results of tables 5 you can be in a position to reject the null hypothesis which refers to the non-existence of the set of latent variables since it cannot be explained by at least one factor.…”

The purpose of the study is to determine a latent structure of variables that explain the level of anxiety towards mathematics of high school students based on the interaction that the student has with the tasks, courses and math exams. For this purpose, the RMARS mathematical anxiety scale was used, which has a Likert-type scaling. The instrument was applied to a sample of 183 enrolled students from a private institution of upper secondary education located in Veracruz, Mexico and to obtain results, a factorial analysis was applied. The most significant finding is the obtained tetradimensional model, which contrasts with other models such as those of Alexander and Martray (1989) and recently with the penta-dimensional model of (Author 1 2017). This result suggests that the original design of the three-factor scale of Richardson and Suinn (1972), modified by Alexander and Martray (1989), does not apply to students in Latin contexts, such as the case of Mexico.

Mathematics is very important in the workplace. Companies, through mathematical models, can filter and interpret the data obtained from sales reports, customer feedback or web traffic, in order to improve the company's strategy and optimize processes and results. However, a problem arises: for the students who will soon enter the work force, mathematics generates anxiety and so, they try to avoid it. This study aims to examine whether there is a difference in university students regarding math anxiety in terms of gender, career, age and semester, as well as the causes of this anxiety. It is a study that is approached from the hypothetical-deductive and cross-sectional method. The sampling was simple random and it was made up by 343 college students from the majors of the administrative economic area. The instrument used is the scale designed by Auzmendi (1992), of which only the anxiety factor was used. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that anxiety towards mathematics is the same in men and women, there are no differences in relation to the age and major of the students, but there is a difference regarding the course that the student attends.
