RESUMENEste trabajo pretendió utilizar el Inventario de Cociente Emocional en su versión para adolescentes EQ-i:YV, de Bar-On adaptado a la población española por investigadores de la universidad de Murcia en 2012, a una muestra de 345 alumnos de educación secundaria obligatoria (ESO) en un centro público de Zaragoza, con un alto nivel de inmigración y diversidad. Mediante un diseño correlacional “ex post facto”, se analizó la influencia que variables independientes ejercían sobre la variable dependiente número de suspensos. Igualmente se llevaron a cabo análisis de varianza y otros análisis mediante el programa SPSS versión 22 y Lisrel 8.51, encontrando que los datos son similares a los obtenidos en el trabajo original, que los varones aventajan a las mujeres en el factor estado de ánimo y adaptabilidad y que éstas aventajan a aquellos en el factor interpersonal y en rendimiento académico. Los análisis de regresión muestran que solamente los factores Interpersonal y Manejo del estrés entran en la ecuación de predicción, con correlaciones positivas pero bajas que explican poca cantidad de varianza, y que casi no hay diferencias en los factores en los cuatro cursos de la etapa, sugiriéndose una conceptualización más cercana a la teoría de los rasgos, o una interpretación más laxa en cuanto al desarrollo emocional se refiere. La conclusión final es que este constructo tal vez haya sido algo sobredimensionado y no tenga tanta relevancia en el rendimiento académico como han pretendido algunos autores.ABSTRACTThis work aimed to use the Bar-On EQ-i:YV Emotional Quotient Inventory: Young Versión, adapted to the Spanish population by researchers of the University of Murcia in 2012, to a sample of 345 students of Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) in a public center in Zaragoza, with a high level of immigration and diversity. Through an "ex post facto" correlation design, we analyzed the influence that independent variables exerted on the dependent variable number of suspended subjects. Likewise, variance analysis, among others were carried out using the SPSS version 22 and Lisrel 8.51 program, finding that the data are similar to those obtained in the original study, that men outperform women in the factor of mood and adaptability, and that these outweigh those in the interpersonal factor and in academic achievement. Regression analysis show that only the Interpersonal and Stress Management factors enter into the prediction equation, with positive but low correlations that explain little amount of variance, and that there are almost no differences in the factors in the four courses of the this educational stage, suggesting a conceptualization closer to the theory of traits, or a more lax interpretation in terms of emotional development. The final conclusion is that this construct may have been somewhat oversized and does not have as much relevance in academic performance as some authors have claimed.

Abstract Background Ethiopia signed the VISION 2020 Global Declaration and launched its eye health program in 2002. Since then, there has been limited systematic and comprehensive evaluation of the progress towards VISION 2020 goals in Ethiopia.Purpose To evaluate Gurage Zone progress towards VISION 2020 targets and process indicators.Method An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among all public and private eye health care facilities in the Gurage Zone within the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People Region of Ethiopia. The evaluation protocol was adopted from the VISION 2020 situational analysis data collection tool. We used this structure to evaluate progress in terms of human resources, infrastructure, and service delivery at the Zonal Health Office and facility level.Result At the time of the study, the Gurage Zone had a 1.7 million catchment area population. There was a total of five eye care centers, of which one was established by a Non-Governmental Organization. Three of these facilities were secondary eye care centers with an operating theater and two of them were primary eye care centers. At the zonal level, there is no survey data available on the prevalence of blindness. There was no systemic evaluation of VISION 2020 process indicators. The budget allocation specific to eye health care was less than 0.7% of the total budget of the office. The human resources for eye health in the catchment area were: one ophthalmologist, two cataract surgeons, five optometrists, and 12 ophthalmic nurses, which is below the VISION 2020 targets for human resources for eye health. In terms of equipment, neither primary eye care center had a slit lamp biomicroscope, and two of the three secondary eye care centers did not have intraocular pressure (IOP) measuring equipment. Only one secondary eye care center was providing glaucoma surgical services, and no center provided either emergency or elective pediatric surgery. The cataract surgical rate (CSR) determined by the study was 1967.ConclusionGurage Zone had not achieved VISION 2020 goals in terms of critical human resources and service delivery. We recommend that the Zonal Health Office carries out a focused and baseline evaluation of eye health care service achievements.

The Relationship

En nuestros días, la existencia de recursos sobre dramatización como herramienta educativa es escasa. De este modo, el presente trabajo permite identificar el grado de conocimiento sobre el concepto de dramatización en el alumnado de Educación Secundaria, además de la relación teatro-vida cotidiana y la percepción que tiene este alumnado acerca del uso de la dramatización como recurso didáctico en el área de Lengua y Literatura. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio ex post-facto de carácter transversal mediante un cuestionario ad-hoc de 21 ítems, sobre una muestra de 88 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos, hemos observado que los discentes tienen un alto grado de conocimiento en cuanto al concepto de dramatización, así como también una elevada percepción de esta como  recurso didáctico en el aula. Sin embargo, la vinculación de las actividades dramáticas con la vida diaria del alumnado es bastante deficiente. Por tanto, promover la realización de este tipo de actividades en el aula favorecería la participación en ellas. ABSTRACT:At present, there are not many resources that would help us to use drama as an educational tool. Thus, this paper examines how aware secondary school students are of the drama concept, the relationship between theatre and everyday life as well as the perception of the use of drama as a teaching resource in the area of language and literature. With this purpose some research has been carried out. The procedure includes an ex post-facto transverse character test through a questionnaire ad-hoc consisting of 21 items. 88 compulsory secondary education students have participated in the survey. In the results, we have observed that the learners have a high level of knowledge regarding the concept of drama, as well as a high perception of this as a teaching resource in the classroom. However, the link of dramatic activities with the daily life of students seems quite poor. As a conclusion, motivating the practice of this type of activities in class would encourage them to take part in these types of activities.

Chrysanthemum is a traditional flower crop with many economic importance and numerous avenues for value addition and export. The study was conducted among 120 farm youths in Omalur, Kadayampatti, and Mecheri blocks of Salem district, Tamil Nadu.An ex post facto research design was used to study the extent of participation and factors that contribute to the participation of farm youth in chrysanthemum cultivation. Analysis of the responses indicated that a majority of farm youth had a medium (71.66 per cent) level of participation and 19.16 per cent had a high level of participation. Statements with a higher mean score, such as availability of cultivable land (4.16), attractive remuneration (4.09), agricultural knowledge (3.90), and interest in agriculture and allied activities (3.89), were the key contributing factors that led to the increased participation of farm youth in chrysanthemum cultivation.
