A study of the relationship between emotional intelligence, academic achievement and depression among students of Medical sciences university of Yasuj,2012

Abstract Background & aim: Emotional intelligence is the ability to control the emotions of oneself, of others, to distinguish between emotions of oneself and the others and to use these information to conduct of thoughts and actions. Methods: The study of Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EQI) and Beck Depression Scale for Students (USDI) and also to evaluate the difference in the academic achievement of medical science GPA of 300 students during the academic term was used. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, t-tests and descriptive statistics (mean ± SD) were analyzed. Results: Between emotional intelligence and depression was correlated with academic success (p< 0/05). Also, 80 percent of students had moderate and good emotional intelligence and only 12/3 of an EI were great. Results indicate that 67/7% of the students suffered from depression. Conclusion: Students learn and improve emotional intelligence can decrease anxiety and improve academic achievement it was. Keywords: emotional intelligence, depression, academic achievemen

Voltammetric nanostructure based sensor for determination of Sudan I in food samples

Ionic liquid/CdO/NPs carbon paste electrode (IL/CdO/NPs/CPE) has been used as a high sensitive sensor for the professional quantitative determination of sudan I in food samples in aqueous solution. In the first step, CdO/NPs synthesis using chemical precipitation method and characterized with different methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The propose sensor shows a better electrochemical response with lower over-potential and high sensitivity for sudan I compared with unmodified carbon paste electrode using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The electro-oxidation of sudan I occurred in a pH-dependent e- and H+ process, and the electrode reaction followed a diffusion-controlled pathway. Under the optimum conditions in square wave voltammetry (SWV), the voltammetric oxidation peak current of sudan I showed linear dynamic ranges with a detection limit of 0.05 µM for sudan I. The modified electrode was successfully used for the determination of the analytes in real samples with satisfactory result. © 2015 The Authors
