OBJECTIVE To analyse the psychometric properties of the EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5D) applied to patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). SETTING Rehabilitation hospital. PATIENTS AND DESIGN 106 consecutive patients with ACS (51% myocardial infarction, 42% coronary artery bypass grafting, 7% angina) completed the EQ-5D, the 36 item short form health survey (SF-36), and the MacNew quest...

A ∂-analogue of differential characters for complex manifolds is introduced and studied using a new theory of homological spark complexes. Many essentially different spark complexes are shown to have isomorphic groups of spark classes. This has many consequences: It leads to an analytic representation of O ×-gerbes with connection, it yields a soft resolution of the sheaf O × by currents on the...

In this paper, by using a special family of filters $mathcal{F}$ on an EQ-algebra $E$, we construct a topology $mathcal{T}_{mathcal{mathcal{F}}}$ on $E$ and show that $(E,mathcal{T}_{mathcal{F}})$ is a topological EQ-algebra. First of all, we give some properties of topological EQ-algebras and investigate the interaction of topological EQ-algebras and quotient topological EQ-algebras. Then we o...

A recent study of the Minnesota Agriculture and Rural Leadership (MARL) program set out to determine the relationship between andragogical program design and increased levels of emotional intelligence (EI). Members of two cohorts in the MARL leadership development program received different levels of focused effort, peer coaching, individual action plans, disorienting dilemmas, self-reflection,...

To the Editor – We appreciate Cella et al.’s letter and their interest in the algorithm for predicting EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) questionnaire scores using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Prostate (FACT-P) questionnaire scores, published in Wu et al. In the letter, the authors raised two primary issues with the algorithm and proposed a modification. We welcome the opportunity to ...

This study was aimed to evaluate the Emotional Intelligence (EI) of a group of patients with first episode psychosis in Iran as compared with a healthy control group. A case-control design was used. EI was assessed using Persian version of Bar-On Emotional Quotient inventory (EQ-i) administered on 25 patients with history of a single psychotic episode in the last two years, as well as 64 health...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the value of bar coding, together with developed microcomputer programs, as a tool to speed up mailing and handling of return responses of a survey where over 4000 adolescents received a mailed questionnaire. DESIGN Bar codes were used for displaying the identification number of a questionnaire, as well as each response alternative and number of the quest...

With the influence of proactive impact on the internal and external environment, the humans are changing on styles, culture in day to day activities. The human brain is providing a vast research and findings which leaded to explore the universe without limits. Till the modern days, Intelligent Quotient (IQ) was considered as the measure of excellence to determine the capacity of the human mind,...
