    En nuestra sociedad, la inteligencia emocional (IE) posee un papel relevante a la hora de gestionar el ajuste personal. Debido a la variedad existente entre los estudiantes de formación profesional, interesaría comprobar diferencias en IE de alumnos pertenecientes a programas de cualificación profesional inicial (PCPI) y ciclos formativos (CF). Por todo ello, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue conocer la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los niveles de IE de los alumnos en función del género (hombre o mujer), del grupo (PCPI y CF) y de la edad (15-17 años, 18-20 años y 21 años o más). Los participantes de este estudio fueron 201 alumnos españoles de la Comunidad Valenciana de PCPI y CF, y los datos se obtuvieron mediante los cuestionarios TMMS-24 y EQ-i-S. A su vez, se utilizó un método correlacional con diseño ex post facto retrospectivo comparativo para analizar los datos: un ANOVA (edad) y dos pruebas t (género y grupo). Los resultados obtenidos permitieron identificar diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la categoría interpersonal en función del curso y reparación en función del género. Por último, se encontraron diferencias en las categorías reparación y humor general en función de las edades.A la nostra societat, la intel·ligència emocional (IE) té un paper determinant a l'hora de gestionar l'ajust personal. En relació amb la varietat existent entre els estudiants de formació professional, interessaria comprovar diferències en IE d'alumnes dels programes de qualificació professional inicial (PQPI) i cicles formatius (CF). Per tant, l'objectiu d'aquesta investigació fou conèixer l'existència de diferències estadísticament significatives en els nivells d'IE dels alumnes en funció del gènere (home o dona), del grup (PQPI i CF) i l'edat (15-17 anys, 18-20 anys i 21 anys o més). Els participants d'aquest estudi foren 201 alumnes espanyols de la Comunitat Valenciana de PQPI i CF i les dades es van obtindre dels qüestionaris TMMS-24 i EQ-i-S. A més, es va utilitzar un mètode correlacional amb disseny ex post facto retrospectiu comparatiu per analitzar-ne les dades: un ANOVA (edat) i dos proves t (gènere i grup). Els resultats obtinguts permeten identificar diferències estadísticament significatives en la categoria interpersonal en funció del curs i en la categoria reparació en funció del gènere. Per últim, es van mostrar diferències en les categories reparació i humor general en funció de les edats.In today's society, emotional intelligence (EI) plays an important role in managing personal adjustment. Given the existing variety among students in vocational training, the aim of this research was to identify differences in the levels of EI of students from Initial Professional Qualification Programs (IPQP) and Upper-Level Training Cycles (ULTC) according to gender, group (IPQP and ULTC) and age (15-17, 18-20 and >21 years old). A total of 201 Spanish IPQP and ULTC students from the Community of Valencia participated in the study. The data was obtained from TMMS-24 and EQ-i-S questionnaires and analyzed using a correlational method and a comparative retrospective ex post facto design with ANOVA (age) and two t-tests (group and sex). The results helped to identify statistically significant differences in the interpersonal category according to groups and in the repair category according to gender. Finally, the sample revealed differences in the repair and humour categories depending on age

    La literatura informa que la prevalencia de la ansiedad en edad infantil ha aumentado exponencialmente durante las últimas décadas, generando con ello la necesidad de monitorear permanentemente los estados emocionales principalmente en niños, y así evitar las dificultades de esta problemática. El objetivo fue establecer diferencias en ansiedad escolar en función del sexo y curso académico en estudiantes chilenos de educación básica. Para ello se contó con 3212 alumnos de 30 colegios de Ñuble en Chile, 1639 niñas y 1573 niños y edades entre 8 y 15 años (M=10.05 DT=1.01). La Ansiedad Escolar se evaluó con el Inventario de Ansiedad Escolar para Educación Primaria, que evalúa tres sistemas de respuesta (cognitiva, conductual y psicofisiológica) y cuatro factores situacionales (Ansiedad ante el castigo escolar, ansiedad ante la victimización, ansiedad ante la evaluación social y ansiedad ante la evaluación y fracaso escolar). Los resultados indican que las niñas presentan niveles de ansiedad significativamente mayores que los niños, aunque de pequeña magnitud. Respecto del curso académico, se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre 4°  y 5°, entre 4° y 6° y entre 5° y 6° año. Estos resultados corroboran los obtenidos en investigaciones previas y alertan sobre el mantenimiento de ellos en el tiempo

    AbstractWe present our low cost assembly unit to manufacture back contact solar modules based on the conductive backsheet (CBS) approach. This in house developed apparatus was built to assemble test modules containing one up to four 6 inch back contact solar cells. The system is a retrofit of a commercially available CNC system which is equipped with a cell grabber and a manual dispensing system (by Nordson). The total cost of the setup was roughly 4000 € excluding the dispenser unit. Using this equipment we assembled several small size modules containing one and four Zebra cells, which are low cost 6 inch IBC solar cells developed at ISC Konstanz [1,2]. The contact between copper backsheet and back contact cell of the one cell modules we present here is formed by low temperature solder paste (LTSP). First cell to module (CTM) loss evaluations and reliability results suggest that this material could be a viable alternative to electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) which is currently the most commonly used material for this purpose

    The aim of this study was to determine if there are differences in the Big Five personality traits  (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness and Conscientiousness) among participants with high and low Self-Oriented Perfectionism (SOP) in Spanish children. A sample of 483 students between 8 and 11 years old, and the SOP subscale of the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) and the Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C) which evaluates the Big Five traits of the personality were used. The results of the t Student test showed that participants with high levels of PAO had significantly higher mean in Extraversion, Openness and Agreeableness than their peers with low SOP. In contrast, no significant differences between groups regarding the mean scores on Neuroticism and Consciousness were observed. The results do not coincide with previous empirical evidence, suggesting that the relationship between the SOP and personality may vary depending on the age or culture.El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en conocer si existen diferencias en los cinco grandes rasgos de la personalidad (Extraversión, Cordialidad, Neuroticismo, Apertura a la experiencia y Conciencia) entre los participantes con altos y bajos niveles de Perfeccionismo Auto-Orientado (PAO) en población infantil española. Se empleó una muestra compuesta por 483 alumnos entre 8 y 11 años, así como la subescala PAO de la Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) y el Cuestionario Big Five de personalidad para niños (BFQ-N) que evalúa los cinco grandes rasgos de la personalidad. Los resultados de la prueba t de Student mostraron que los participantes con altos niveles de PAO obtuvieron medias significativamente más altas en Extraversión, Apertura a la experiencia y Cordialidad que sus iguales con bajos niveles de PAO. Contrariamente, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en lo que respecta a las puntuaciones medias en Neuroticismo y Conciencia. Los resultados no coinciden con las evidencias empíricas previas, sugiriendo que la relación que se establece entre el PAO y la personalidad puede variar en función de la edad o la cultura

    Previously published scientific papers have reported a negative correlation between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular mortality. Some ecologic and case–control studies suggest the protective effect of calcium and magnesium concentration in drinking water. In this article we present an analysis of this protective relationship in 538 municipalities of Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from 1991–1998. We used the Spanish version of the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF) developed under the European Environment and Health Information System (EUROHEIS) research project. The strategy of analysis used in our study conforms to the exploratory nature of the RIF that is used as a tool to obtain quick and flexible insight into epidemiologic surveillance problems. This article describes the use of the RIF to explore possible associations between disease indicators and environmental factors. We used exposure analysis to assess the effect of both protective factors—calcium and magnesium—on mortality from cerebrovascular (ICD-9 430–438) and ischemic heart (ICD-9 410–414) diseases. This study provides statistical evidence of the relationship between mortality from cardiovascular diseases and hardness of drinking water. This relationship is stronger in cerebrovascular disease than in ischemic heart disease, is more pronounced for women than for men, and is more apparent with magnesium than with calcium concentration levels. Nevertheless, the protective nature of these two factors is not clearly established. Our results suggest the possibility of protectiveness but cannot be claimed as conclusive. The weak effects of these covariates make it difficult to separate them from the influence of socioeconomic and environmental factors. We have also performed disease mapping of standardized mortality ratios to detect clusters of municipalities with high risk. Further standardization by levels of calcium and magnesium in drinking water shows changes in the maps when we remove the effect of these covariates

    Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a dan-gerous condition. Surgical VSR closure is the definitive therapy, but there is controversy regarding the surgical timing and the bridging therapy between diagnosis and intervention. The objective of this study is to analyze the ideal time of surgical repair and to establish the contribution of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices on the prognosis. Methods: We designed an observational, retrospective, multicenter study, selecting all consecutive patients with post-AMI VSR between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2018, with non-exclusion criteria. The main objective of this study was to analyze the optimal timing for surgical repair of post-AMI VSR. Second- ary endpoints were to determine which factors could influence mortality in the patients of the surgical group. Results: A total of 141 patients were included. We identified lower mortality rates with an odds ratio of 0.3 (0.1 & ndash;0.9) in patients operated on from day 4 compared with the surgical mortality in the first 24 hours after VSR diagnosis. The use of MCS was more frequent in patients treated with surgery, par- ticularly for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP; 79.6% vs. 37.8%, p < 0.001), but also for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO; 18.2% vs. 6.4%, p = 0.134). Total mortality was 91.5% for conservative management and 52.3% with surgical repair (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In our study, we observed that the lowest mortality rates in patients with surgical repair of post-AMI VSR were observed in patients operated on from day 4 after diagnosis of VSR, compared to earlier interventions.

    Background: The Watchman FLX is a device upgrade of the Watchman 2.5 that incorporates several design enhancements intended to simplify left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and improve procedural outcomes. This study compares peri-procedural results of LAAO with Watchman FLX (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts) in centers with varying degrees of experience with the Watchman 2.5 and Watchman FLX. Methods: Prospective, multicenter, 'real-world' registry including consecutive patients undergoing LAAO with the Watchman FLX at 26 Spanish sites (FLX-SPA registry). Implanting centers were classified according to the center's prior experience with the Watchman 2.5. A further division of centers according to whether or not they had performed ≤ 10 or > 10Watchman FLX implants was prespecified at the beginning of the study. Procedural outcomes of institutions stratified according to their experience with the Watchman 2.5 and FLX devices were compared. Results: 359 patients [mean age 75.5 (SD8.1), CHA2DS2-VASc 4.4 (SD1.4), HAS-BLED 3.8(SD0.9)] were included. Global success rate was 98.6%, successful LAAO with the first selected device size was achieved in 95.5% patients and the device was implanted at first attempt in 78.6% cases. There were only 9(2.5%) major peri-procedural complications. No differences in efficacy or safety results according to the centeŕs previous experience with Watchman 2.5 and procedural volume with Watchman FLX existed. Conclusions: The Watchman FLX attains high procedural success rates with complete LAA sealing in unselected, real-world patients, along with a low incidence of peri-procedural complications, regardless of operatoŕs experience with its previous device iteration or the number of Watchman FLX devices implanted
