Emotional intelligence and basic psychological needs : highlights from a teachers’ survey in Iran

Copyright © 2017 Asian Journal of Humanities and Social StudiesPurpose: Psychological needs, as the foundation for a wide range of human behaviors, provide requirements for psychological growth, psychological integrity and well-being. Emotional intelligence is also a general structure that can be the related to success in various aspects of life. The present study examined the relationship between emotional intelligence with the dimensions of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness). Participants: The population of this research consisted of all teachers of Urmia city (n= 6441). To achieve our aim, 365 teachers of Urmia city were selected using stratified random sampling methods. Results: In general, a significant relationship was obtained between the components of emotional intelligence and the components of basic psychological needs. Canonical analysis presented a significant set of relationships between emotional intelligence and basic psychological needs: problem-solving, happiness, independence, stress tolerance, self-actualization, emotional self-awareness, realism, interpersonal relationship, optimism, self-esteem, assertiveness, flexibility and social responsibility showed positive relationships with sense of autonomy, competence and relatedness (p <0.05); however, the relationship between empathy and these needs was negative. Conclusion: The results showed that components of emotional intelligence are able to predict basic psychological needs.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Seguridad y salud ocupacional en el teletrabajo docente

The detection and attention of psychosocial factors that affect the teaching labor sector is a priority since it is not an aspect that worries the managerial level of higher education institutions and although the requirements in occupational health and safety require detection, identification, prevention and adoption of measures to guarantee health and neutralize occupational risks. In practice, there are no concrete actions to address and treat psychosocial risk factors that affect teachers in the higher education system. The objective of this research is to identify the risks of occupational health in teaching telework, methods a descriptive study of a cross-sectional cohort was carried out, the universe was constituted by teachers of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Manabí in a total of 65 teachers. The sample was made up of 54 teachers, 33 from the Psychology career and 21 from the Nutrition career. The results of the research were obtained through the application of online surveys, which were tabulated in Excel and statistical tables were presented with their respective analysis, it is concluded that there are factors such as load and mental fatigue in teachers who are over 39 years of age for telework activities.La detección y atención de factores psicosociales que afectan al sector laboral docente, resulta prioritario ya que no es un aspecto que preocupe al nivel directivo de las instituciones de educación superior y aunque las exigencias en seguridad y salud ocupacional obliga a la detección, identificación, prevención y adopción de medidas para garantizar la salud y neutralizar los riesgos ocupacionales, en la práctica no surgen acciones concretas para abordar y tratar los factores de riesgo psicosocial que afectan a los docentes del sistema de educación superior. El objetivo de esta investigacion es identificar los riesgos de la salud ocupacional en el teletrabajo docente, métodos se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo de cohorte transversal, el universo se constituyó por docentes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí en un total de 65 docentes. La muestra se conformó por 54 docentes, 33 de la carrera de Psicología y 21 de la carrera de Nutrición. Los resultados de la investigación se obtuvieron mediante la aplicación de encuestas online, mismos que se tabularon en Excel y se presentaron tablas estadísticas con su respectivo análisis, se concluye que se hay factores como carga y fatiga mental en docentes que superan los 39 años de edad por actividades de teletrabajo

PÉRDIDAS DE CARBONO EN SUELOS DE LA LLANURA COSTERA DE NAYARIT, MÉXICO

Se analizaron las pérdidas de carbono orgánico en suelos a partir de 12 perfiles localizados en el delta del río San Pedro y distribuidos por nivel geomorfológico en la llanura costera del estado de Nayarit, México. El estudio se realizó comparando el contenido de carbono de los suelos con mayor conservación bajo bosque y cultivados. Los niveles considerados para este análisis fueron llanura alta, llanura media y sus depresiones, llanura baja y barras costeras. Las reservas de carbono (RCO) se determinaron teniendo en cuenta la densidad aparente (Da), el espesor de cada horizonte y el contenido de carbono. Los resultados se ponderaron para las profundidades 0-20, 0-50 y 0-100 cm. Las pérdidas de carbono identificadas fueron del 36 % para suelos Cambisoles de la llanura alta, 40 % para Feozem y Cambisoles de la llanura media, 60 % en suelos Feozem y Solonetz de las depresiones de la llanura media, 67 % para Cambisoles de la llanura baja y 90 % para Arenosoles de las barras costeras. Se demostró que la actividad agrícola intensiva y continuada, ha ocasionado pérdidas en el contenido de carbono; así mismo, la capa agrícola (20 cm) resulta la más afectada por esta actividad antropogénica

Population Empirical Likelihood Estimation in Dual Frame Surveys

Dual frame surveys are a device to reduce the costs derived from data collection in surveys and improve coverage for the whole target population. Since their introduction, in the 1960’s, dual frame surveys have gained much attention and several estimators have been formulated based on a number of different approaches. In this work, we propose new dual frame estimators based on the population empirical likelihood method originally proposed by Chen and Kim (2014) and using both the dual and the single frame approach. The extension of the proposed methodology to more than two frame surveys is also sketched. The performance of the proposed estimators in terms of relative bias and relative mean squared error is tested through simulation experiments. These experiments indicate that the proposed estimators yield better results than other likelihood-based estimators proposed in the literature.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spai

One-Year Risk of Stroke after Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke

Previous studies conducted between 1997 and 2003 estimated that the risk of stroke or an acute coronary syndrome was 12 to 20% during the first 3 months after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. The TIAregistry.org project was designed to describe the contemporary profile, etiologic factors, and outcomes in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke who receive care in health systems that now offer urgent evaluation by stroke specialists.We recruited patients who had had a TIA or minor stroke within the previous 7 days. Sites were selected if they had systems dedicated to urgent evaluation of patients with TIA. We estimated the 1-year risk of stroke and of the composite outcome of stroke, an acute coronary syndrome, or death from cardiovascular causes. We also examined the association of the ABCD(2) score for the risk of stroke (range, 0 [lowest risk] to 7 [highest risk]), findings on brain imaging, and cause of TIA or minor stroke with the risk of recurrent stroke over a period of 1 year.From 2009 through 2011, we enrolled 4789 patients at 61 sites in 21 countries. A total of 78.4% of the patients were evaluated by stroke specialists within 24 hours after symptom onset. A total of 33.4% of the patients had an acute brain infarction, 23.2% had at least one extracranial or intracranial stenosis of 50% or more, and 10.4% had atrial fibrillation. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the 1-year event rate of the composite cardiovascular outcome was 6.2% (95% confidence interval, 5.5 to 7.0). Kaplan-Meier estimates of the stroke rate at days 2, 7, 30, 90, and 365 were 1.5%, 2.1%, 2.8%, 3.7%, and 5.1%, respectively. In multivariable analyses, multiple infarctions on brain imaging, large-artery atherosclerosis, and an ABCD(2) score of 6 or 7 were each associated with more than a doubling of the risk of stroke.We observed a lower risk of cardiovascular events after TIA than previously reported. The ABCD(2) score, findings on brain imaging, and status with respect to large-artery atherosclerosis helped stratify the risk of recurrent stroke within 1 year after a TIA or minor stroke

CONOCIMIENTO DE LA ENFERMERA EN LA ATENCIÓN A USUARIO CON PRE-ECLAMPSIA Y ECLAMPSIA

Introduction Preeclampsia-eclampsia everywhere in the world continues being one of the main causes of morbidity and perinatal mortality. In Mexico it has been the leading cause of maternal death of the last 20 years, in spite of advances in quality and quantity of prenatal care, delivery assistance and puerperium attention. Objective To identify the level of knowledge of the nursing personnel in Labor and Delivery, as well as Gynecology and Obstetrics caring for people with preeclampsia-eclampsia. Material and methods A study was made of a descriptive survey given to 75 nurses in the General Regional Hospital No.1, in which an instrument of information was elaborated regarding the level of knowledge of the nursing personnel caring for people with preeclampsia-eclampsia. This was validated by two rounds of experts and one test pilot, the measurement scale was also good as it answered correctly from 86% to 100 % of items, fair, from 70% to 85% and poor less than 69%. Results The average age of the nurses was 41 years, with a standard deviation ±7.1. In reference to the level of knowledge of the nursing personnel in the field of preeclampsia-eclampsia caring for patients, the result was deficient even though the time in service was more than three years. Conclusions The level of knowledge of the nursing personnel regarding preeclampsia-eclampsia was low, and there is no connection between experience and level of knowledge.Introducción La preeclampsia-eclampsia continúa siendo una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad perinatal en todo el mundo. En México ha sido la primera causa de muerte materna en los últimos 20 años a pesar de los avances en calidad y cantidad de control prenatal, de la atención del parto y puerperio. Objetivo Identificar el nivel de conocimiento que tiene el personal de enfermería del área de Tococirugía y Ginecoobstetricia en la atención a usuarias con preeclampsia eclampsia. Material y métodos Se realizó un estudio encuesta descriptiva a 75 enfermeras del Hospital General Regional No. 1, en el cual se elaboró un instrumento de información sobre nivel de conocimientos del personal de enfermería de preeclampsia eclampsia, validado por dos rondas de expertos y una prueba piloto, así mismo la escala de medición fue bueno cuando contestara correctamente del 86 al 100 % de los ítems, regular, del 70 al 85 %, y deficiente, menos de 69 %. Resultados El promedio de edad de las enfermeras fue de 41 años, con una desviación estándar más menos 7.1. Referente al nivel de conocimiento del personal de enfermería sobre preeclampsia eclampsia en el manejo de usuarias el resultado fue deficiente aún cuando la antigüedad en el servicio fue de más de tres años. Conclusiones El nivel de conocimientos del personal de enfermería en preeclampsia eclampsia fue bajo, además no existe congruencia entre la antigüedad en el servicio y el nivel de conocimiento

Use of mixed methods designs in substance research: a methodological necessity in Nigeria

The utility of mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) is becoming increasingly accepted in health sciences, but substance studies are yet to substantially benefit from such utilities. While there is a growing number of mixed methods alcohol articles concerning developed countries, developing nations are yet to embrace this method. In the Nigerian context, the importance of mixed methods research is yet to be acknowledged. This article therefore, draws on alcohol studies to argue that mixed methods designs will better equip scholars to understand, explore, describe and explain why alcohol consumption and its related problems are increasing in Nigeria. It argues that as motives for consuming alcohol in contemporary Nigeria are multiple, complex and evolving, mixed method approaches that provide multiple pathways for proffering solutions to problems should be embraced

Natural Distribution of Parasitoids of Larvae of the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, in Argentina

To develop a better understanding of the natural distribution of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and to update the knowledge of the incidence of its complex of parasitoids. S. frugiperda, samplings in whorl-stage corn were carried out in provinces of Argentina from 1999 to 2003. S. frugiperda larvae were collected from corn in localities of the provinces of Tucumán, Salta, Jujuy, Santiago del Estero, La Rioja, Córdoba, San Luis, Chaco and Misiones. In each locality 30 corn plants were sampled and only larvae located in those plants were collected. The parasitoids that emerged from S. frugiperda larvae were identified and counted. The abundance of the parasitoids and the parasitism rate were estimated. The S. frugiperda parasitoids collected were Campoletis grioti (Blanchard) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Chelonus insularis (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Archytas marmoratus (Townsend) (Diptera Tachinidae) and/or A. incertus (Macquart), Ophion sp. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Euplectrus platyhypenae Howard (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), and Incamyia chilensis (Aldrich) (Diptera Tachinidae). C. grioti was the most abundant and frequent during the five-year survey. Similar diversity of parasitoids was obtained in all the provinces, with the exception of I. chilensis and E. platyhypenae that were recovered only in the province of Salta. In the Northwestern region, in Tucumán, C. grioti and species of Archytas were the most abundant and frequent parasitoids. On the contrary, in Salta and Jujuy Ch. insularis was the parasitoid most abundant and frequently recovered. The parasitism rate obtained in Tucumán, Salta and Jujuy provinces were 21.96%, 17.87% and 6.63% respectively with an average of 18.93%. These results demonstrate that hymenopteran and dipteran parasitoids of S. frugiperda occurred differentially throughout the Argentinian provinces and played an important role on the natural control of the S. frugiperda larval population
