Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage emotions, feelings, to differentiate between them, to channel and conduct one's thoughts and actions. On the other hand, self-efficacy, related to performance, is the personal impression or conviction regarding one's own abilities in a specific context. The present study aimed to determine whether or not there is a relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy in adolescents, for which a correlational study design was used, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental and cross-sectional scope. To achieve this objective, standardized items such as the Emotional Intelligence Scale TMMS-24 and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were applied to a sample of 90 adolescents. The results showed a slight positive relationship between Self-Efficacy and the dimensions of emotional intelligence such as Perception (Rho=0.425, p<0.001), Understanding (Rho=0.314, p<0.001) and Regulation (Rho=0.410, p<0.001).

The purpose of this article is to assess the effect of a writing framework model for pedagogical reflection in a sample of elementary school teachers who took part in a lifelong learning program. To do so, a combined research design was carried out, implementing, on the one hand, inferential and multivariable statistical techniques to determine the tempering effect of feedback on the performance of written reflection and, on the other hand, content analysis of the teachers' written production to identify their development of pedagogical reflection. He results reveal that encouraging this reflection in teachers' writing allows them to develop a more in-depth assessment and analysis of their own practices, which is evidenced by the use of more detailed explanations and arguments and the precision of the terminological use of specific concepts.

The aim of this research was to explore the possibility of conforming types of students, as well as to identify a possible relationship between the educational trajectory and the self-perception of both cognitive and technical skills. The research design was quantitative, transectional correlational. The analysis followed the structural equation model, hierarchical conglomerates and K-means, as well as a Chi-square hypothesis test. The information was collected from 191 university students, and the results showed three types of students that we called: analytical thinkers, progressing learners and technological innovators in addition to identifying a relationship between semester and cognitive skills as techniques. The studies that showed types of students based on cognitive and technical skills are rare and not very conclusive, although they focus on exploring different variables. This study was the first to address skills a priori of self-perceived cognitive and technical skills, as well as a description of the student environment based on different types for the possible application of multimodal courses, in addition to providing a key variable in high and positive self-perception: the semester.

The cultivation of avocado (Persea Americana) is not only essential from an economic point of view, but also plays a crucial role in the nutrition, health and well-being of populations around the world. The study was carried out in Ayacucho -Peru (latitude: 12° 53' 57" S, longitude: 74° 16' 55" W and altitude: 2596 masl), with the objective of evaluating the effect of the use of the technical drip irrigation system on the production and yield of twovarieties of avocado, Hass and Fuerte. The study was based on the use of an irrigation system with programming by treatment with avocado plants installed in plots of 500 m² in 6 sectors, with a density of 5 x 5 m, whose age was between 5 to 16 years, of the whichwere considered 12 plants (6 plants with drip irrigation and 6 plants as a control with gravity irrigation). Irrigation was carried out right at the flowering and production stage,guaranteeing adequate water supply in periods of water deficit, between February and June 2022. The experimental design was a complete randomized block, with six blocks of 20 plants each. The harvest carried out reported yields of 67.96 ± 8.8 t/ha under technical irrigation and 26.42 ± 4.93 t/ha under gravity irrigation, an increase of 157% with respect to the latter. As for the varieties, the Fuerte avocado had the highest yield 49.38 ± 23.06 t/ha compared to the Hass variety (45.0 ± 21.14 t/ha), the maximum yieldoccurred with drip irrigation for the Fuerte variety (71.09 ± 8.38 t/ha), this is explained by the energy expenditure in the osmotic adjustment potential which drastically decreasesthe yield potential with traditional gravity irrigation, obtaining a minimum yield in Hassof 25.18 ± 4.44 t/ha.

This study focuses on flowering as a tourist phenomenon, also known as flower tourism or blossom tourism, and its dissemination and reception in the media as a rural tourism destination. The main objective is to analyze the role of media and influencers in social networks in this diffusion. The secondary objectives are to establish coincidences between the image projected and the one perceived by tourists, as well as to know the motivations of the visitors. An exploratory-descriptive research design has allowed to characterize the type of content published by national and international media, as well as that published on Instagram. The applied survey has allowed to identify the motivations of the visitors, the locality of origin from where the people who visited the studied destination (Aitona, Catalonia) traveled and the channel through which this tourist offer was known. The article shows how, to a large extent, the arrival of tourists occurs in parallel to the tourist promotion carried out by the media and shows the role of the film Segon Origen and the publications of influencers on Instagram in the creation of the iconic tourist imaginary of the location. In the national media and on the social network, promotion is based almost exclusively on aesthetic criteria. The main motivations of the surveyed visitors also allude to taking pictures and aesthetic contemplation. The most diversified images tend to be found in the local and Catalan press, with a less simplistic approach to the phenomenon and more linked to the territory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As part of the 7th grade curriculum, the development of the multiplication skills as a basic mathematical operation must be guaranteed. However, in the Gabriel Mistral No. 1 Educational Unit, it is evident that students who move on to the 8th year of EGB have not developed the ability to multiply. Based on the existing problems, the present research aims to develop a methodological strategy with the use of Learning and Knowledge Technologies (CAT) in the Teaching - Learning process to strengthen the understanding of the multiplication skill. The study responds to a correlational experimental design that seeks to determine the influence of TAC on the development of mathematical skills in seventh grade students. Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality tests and parametric statistics were used using the t-Student test for 2 independent samples, the significance p= 0.02 < 0.05 allowed us to accept the alternative hypothesis (Ha): Yes, there is a statistically significant difference between the TAC influence on the development of mathematical skills in seventh grade students. The results concluded that TAC significantly influences the understanding of the multiplication skill. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of strategic academic management on the entrepreneurial intention of students in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences of the National University Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza of Amazonas. Adopting a non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational research design, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk statistics were applied, revealing a non-normal distribution of the data. Spearman's Rho Correlation Statistical Test was applied. The results showed a significance level (sig.) of 0.011, less than 0.05, and a positive, but very low correlation coefficient (r = 0.191), indicating that the impact of strategic academic management on entrepreneurial intention is significant, but its magnitude is very low. The findings indicate that improving academic management could significantly boost student entrepreneurial intention, fostering a more entrepreneurial university ecosystem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research carried out an exploratory approach to plurivictimizing aggressors –victimization of three or more women – in gender-based violence (GBV). Police data reports were taken of 69 perpetrators who victimized 217 women. An exploratory and descriptive research design was carried out, describing violent dynamics, recidivism, and the dynamics of violence escalation of violence and its evolution throughout the different victims. Plurivictimizing aggressors keep at vitimizing the same victim and also towards different women, and overlapping victimization has been found. Perpetrators increasing in severity of violence tend to progressively escalate and do not return to the "starting box" when they get involved in a new romantic relationship. Addressing GBV recidivism from a view that includes pluri-victimizing aggressors, given the resistance to police and legal resources, is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research was developed at the Amazonian State University, located in the canton and province of Pastaza, and had the objective of: Evaluating the influence of extraction time to obtain polyphenols from Morete (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.) seeds, quantifying total polyphenols, and determine the antioxidant activity of the extracts obtained. Response surface methodology and ultrasound-assisted extraction were used. The UV/vis spectrophotometry method and the Folin Ciocalteu colorimetric reaction were used to quantify the total polyphenols present in the seeds of the species. Additionally, the antioxidant activity was evaluated using the Fe3+ reduction assay (FRAP). The Box-Behnken experimental design allowed evaluating the effect of time on the extraction of this type of metabolite in the selected raw material. It was found that there is a directly proportional relationship between time and the presence of polyphenols in the extracts and that the antioxidant activity increases in the same relationship.

Introduction: The mother-fetus bond plays an important role in pregnancy care, impacting birth outcomes. Monitoring fetal movement is a fundamental competence for pregnant women to do independently. Objective: to produce audiovisual monitoring of independent fetal movement and prove its effectiveness on maternal-fetal attachment and birth outcomes. Methods: Phase I, developing Audiovisual Fetal Well-being Monitoring, with literature study steps, developing scenarios, creating audiovisuals, testing the validity of experts. Stage 2 tested the effectiveness of audiovisual media on maternal-fetal attachment with the Prenatal Attachment Inventory instrument and birth outcomes from infant birth weight. Design of true experimental pretestposttest control group approach. Samples of pregnant women with a history of antenatal care at the Kasihan II Health Center, Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia with the following criteria: single pregnancy, normal, gestational age 28-36 weeks. Respondents of 60 subjects were divided into experimental and control groups. Normal data were tested by paired t test, independent t-test and MANOVA. Results: Content expert validity test score 81% very valid, media expert validity score 80.33%, valid. The audiovisual application showed the results of the paired t-test, both in the experimental and control groups there were differences in pretest and posttest, P <0.05. Independent sample t-test P < 0.05 and simultaneous MANOVA results showed maternal-fetal attachment score and birth outcome P < 0.05. Conclusion: Independent monitoring of fetal well-being using audiovisual media simultaneously affects the increase in maternal-fetal attachment scores and birth outcomes so it is recommended that second trimester pregnant women be taught techniques for counting fetal movements and practicing them routinely.

The objective of the present study was to relate learning styles, emotional and multiple skills to academic performance in first-year students of the physical education teaching career at a university in Santiago de Chile. Methodology: quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional type. The sample consisted of 84 students (20 women and 64 men). To assess learning styles, the CHAEA-36 and the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument were used. The Multiple Intelligences Inventory (IAMI-R), the Emotional Intelligence Inventory were also applied, and for academic performance, the transcript of grades from the subjects taken in the first semester by the students was used. Results: low to medium correlations were found between the active learning style and academic performance (r=-0.235), and dominance B is positively related to grades (r=0.270). Conclusions: Future studies with a longitudinal and experimental design are necessary, as there are some key skills for a comprehensive teacher that should be addressed from the first years of training.

The primary objective of this research study is to assess training programs as a tool for strengthening a Mexican company's cybersecurity. Cybersecurity has become a critical issue for organizations in the digital era. The research design adopted a quantitative approach with a non-experimental cross-sectional nature. The results revealed that the majority of the company's employees (52.1%) consider that they have the knowledge necessary about the cybersecurity threats that they may face, but the rest do not consider they have that knowledge. In addition, in spite of cybersecurity being a priority for the organization, employees lack sufficient training to help them mitigate the threats they confront. It is concluded that it is necessary to conduct training and awareness programs on security by developing policies, by defining resources and tools, by creating campaigns against cyber-attacks and by implementing online or in-person training.

The primary objective of this research study is to assess the impact of sunlight exposure, packaging type, and packaging time on the weight loss and germination of the spiny yam (Dioscórea rotundata). Post-harvest storage of this tuber yields limited profits when exporting. A factorial experimental design is conducted under a completely randomized arrangement of 4x3x8, with 3 replications. The results show that two of the three types of packaging examined, kerosene coating and low-density packaging with polyethylene bags, show similarities in terms of lower weight loss, with values of up to 1.9% of the total weight. In terms of germination, the best results are obtained using kerosene coating, having delays in the germination process for 52 storage days. It is concluded that the least weight loss is achieved when D. rotundata is packaged using low-density polymers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. Evaluate the effect of metadoxine in a case series of dogs with primary liver diseases, through the analysis of the paraclinical test, ultrasound, and histopathological features. Materials and methods. Seven canines from 2 to 14 years of age with mild to moderate clinical signs of liver disease and abnormal bile acids or ALT or ALP activity greater than threefold of the upper limit underwent 4 weeks of sonographic assessment and ultrasound-guided Tru-Cut liver biopsies to confirm the liver disease, according to the histopathologically WSAVA guidelines. To take a biopsy, they ought to have had fibrinogen >100 mg/dl, platelets >100 cells x 103/µl, and prothrombin time <11.5 seconds. When primary liver disease diagnosis was histologically confirmed, they received metadoxine at 17 mg/kg every 12 hours for 4 weeks. Clinical, paraclinical, ultrasound, and histopathological follow-up was performed at the end of this period. Results. After end-of-period follow-up was conducted, there were several elements detected: Vomiting and hyporexia decrease (p=0.03), a non-significant ALT and ALP increase (p=0.84; p=0.43), a reduction in postprandial biliary acids (p=0.4), and no change in hepatic ultrasound score (p=0.42) or histopathology diagnosis (p>0.05). Conclusions. Despite important limitations, this case series represents a preliminary observation suggesting metadoxine could improve clinical signs of canines with liver disease but does not significantly modify paraclinical, ultrasound, and histological variables; further research is needed with a Randomized Clinical Trial design. These findings are not enough to set metadoxine indication protocols in canines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
