The objective of the present quantitative study was to know the difference in the level of emotional intelligence of the university students to establish possible socialization strategies in emotional competencies. The participants, selected through a non-random sampling, were 40 students of the Higher University Technical level, 15 women and 25 men, with ages between 18 and 22 years. The Trait Meta Mood-Sacale self-report test (TMMS24) was applied. The data was analyzed with the statistical program Spss 24 and the Pearson correlation test. The results show that there is no correlation between gender and emotional intelligence, but in females there are adequate levels of attention and emotional clarity and low emotional regulation, while men have low levels of attention and emotional clarity but high levels in emotional repair; also globally, women present a greater level of emotional intelligence, in relation to men. It concludes that there is a need to have comprehensive training in the curriculum that encompasses academic knowledge and emotional competences, because the development of emotional intelligence in students helps to shape full human beings and valuable workers.

El objetivo principal del presente trabajo es llevar a cabo la identificación de los Esquemas Desadaptativos Tempranos en educadores en formación y a sus puntuaciones en Inteligencia Emocional Percibida para, a continuación, explorar posibles relaciones entre ellos y establecer diferencias en virtud del género y de la titulación cursada. La muestra es de estudiantes universitarios madrileños de los Grados de Maestro en Educación Infantil, Primaria y Educación Social (N=713), con una media de edad de 18,8 años. Tras la aplicación de la adaptación española del SQ-SF (Cid, Tejero y Torrubia, 1997) y del TMMS-24 (Fernández Berrocal, Extremera y Ramos, 2004), encontramos que los esquemas que alcanzaron mayor puntuación fueron Autosacrificio (18,28), Metas Inalcanzables (16,45) y Abandono (14,13), obteniéndose diferencias significativas en algunos de los esquemas entre las diferentes variables consideradas. Por su parte, los resultados encontrados en Inteligencia Emocional Percibida mostraron puntuaciones medias de 27,22 en Atención a los Sentimientos, de 25,57 en Claridad Emocional y de 26,57 para la Regulación Emocional, también con algunas diferencias significativas entre géneros y titulación. Finalmente se encontraron correlaciones negativas estadísticamente significativas entre la puntuación total de esquemas y las dimensiones de Claridad Emocional y Regulación emocional y positiva con Atención a los sentimientos. The main objective of the present work is the identification of the Early Maladaptive Schemes in educators in training and their scores in Perceived Emotional Intelligence (TMMS-24) to then explore possible relationships between them and establish differences by gender and degree taken. The sample is from Madrid university students of the Degrees in Infant, Primary and Social Education (N = 713), with an average age of 18.8 years. After the application of the Spanish adaptation of the SQ-SF (Cid, Tejero y Torrubia, 1997) and the TMMS-24 (Fernández Berrocal, Extremera and Ramos, 2004), we found that the schemes that reached highest scores were Self-sacrifice (18,28), Unreachable Goals (16,45) and Abandonment (14,13), obtaining significant differences in some of the schemes between the different levels of the factors considered. On the other hand, the results found in Perceived Emotional Intelligence showed average scores of 27.22 in Attention to Feelings, 25.57 in Emotional Clarity and 26.57 for Emotional Regulation, also with some significant differences between diferent variables. Finally, statistically significant negative correlations were found between the total scheme score and the dimensions of Emotional Clarity and Emotional Regulation, and positive with Attention to Feelings.

Objective To analyze endocan-1, a biomarker of vascular endothelial related pathologies, and the placental growth factor (PlGF), an angiogenic factor and a placental dysfunction marker in patients with preeclampsia (PE). Methods Case-control study conducted at Hospital São Lucas, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Endocan-1 and PlGF levels were quantified in the maternal plasma using the MagPlexTH-C microsphere system (MAGPIX System, Luminex, Austin, Texas, US) and evaluated through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted by body mass index (BMI), gestational age and maternal age. To estimate the difference between the groups, the mean ratio (MR) and the 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated. The Pearson correlation test was used to establish any association between endocan-1 and PlGF levels. The null hypothesis was rejected when p < 0.05. Results The group of patients was composed by normotensive (n = 67) patients and patients with PE (n = 50). A negative correlation between endocan-1 and the PlGF was noted in the entire normotensive group (linear correlation coefficient [r] = −0.605; p < 0.001), as well as in the PE group (r = −0.545; p < 0.001). Conclusion Endocan-1 levels are increased in patients with PE, and are inversely correlated with PlGF levels. We suggest that it is important to analyze angiogenic and proinflammatory molecules concomitantly in women with PE to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease. Both molecules are strong candidates for PE biomarkers, and future studies will examine any mechanisms connecting these factors in PE.

There were significant differences between these three groups using post hoc Games-Howell test on the value of p<0.001 and also been found there was a significant correlation between serum IL-2 levels with PANSS score in the Batak tribe patients with schizophrenia using the Pearson correlation test (r=0.599, p=0.001 and r=0.501, p=0.001). It was founded that there were significant differences between serum IL-2 levels in three groups and also founded there was a significant correlation between serum IL-2 levels with PANSS score in the Batak tribe patients with schizophrenia.

This study investigated the role of gender as a potential predictor of health behaviour and potential moderator of the relationship between emotional intelligence and health behaviour. This cross-sectional study included 1214 students (597 males and 617 females). Data were collected using the Schutte Self-Report Inventory and the Health Behaviour Checklist. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was executed with the components of health behaviour as the dependent variables to examine the predictive value of the emotional intelligence indicators as the independent variables. Gender predicted all categories of health behaviours. Only one indicator of emotional intelligence, appraisal, predicted the Accident Control and Traffic Risk Taking categories. The emotional intelligence indicator of social skills emerged only as a predictor of Wellness Maintenance and Enhancement in university students. Gender moderates the relationship between all emotional intelligence indicators and health behaviour components except the relationship between Appraisal and Substance Risk Taking and the relationship between Utilization and traffic risk taking.

The objective of this quantitative study was to identify the level of EI in the university student and to compare it to their academic performance. The 40 participants; 15 women and 25 men, aged between 18 and 22 years old, attending the Higher University Technical level, were selected through a non-random sampling. The Trait Meta Mood-Scale self-report test (TMMS24) was applied. Data were analyzed with the Spss 24 statistical program and the Pearson correlation test. The results show that there is no significant correlation between academic performance and global emotional intelligence, but, there is a significant difference in the variable of emotional clarity in young people in the first four-month period (3.70). They present a greater clarity compared with those in the fourth quarter (3.24). It is concluded that to study the relationship between EI and academic performance it is convenient to consider other variables that can influence the person, such as personality traits and intellectual capacity. Also it is recommended to include emotional competencies in the university curriculum, because they influence subsequent psychological adjustment and work performance.
