Emotional Intelligence and Ethics on Organizations

Emotional intelligence (EI) usually refers to not only the ability to express and control one’s own emotions, but also the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the emotions of others. It is a concept that becomes popular from 1995 by psychologist and behavioral science journalist Dr. Daniel Goleman in his first book, Emotional Intelligence, and has been studied by experts from different aspects and in different fields. It

Ethics is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. Through some literature research, it has been shown that EI and Ethics are determinant on rationalized and emotional integration of human behavior, and inherently in society and in organizational world and are also important in the attenuation of dramatic and unbalanced wills that tend to persist.

In this paper, the authors aimed to explore the role of Emotional Intelligence on Individual Ethics, Perceptions of Other’s Ethics and Ethics Perception in Facilitating Success. They first did a literature review about ethics and emotional intelligence. Then they used the questionnaires to collect data from a group of 6371 exporting companies and/or with interest in exporting of the Agency for Investment and External Commerce of Portugal (AICEP) database, and 625 answers were obtained, with a total of 404 valid responses for analysis. The questionnaire was divided into eight parts and was analyzed by exploratory factorial analysis. Besides, eight hypotheses were presented and the related results were analyzed.

The findings indicated that Emotional Intelligence predicted perceptions of the role of Ethics in Success. The role of Emotional Intelligence was attested as a predictor in Individual Ethics and the predictor role of these two in Perceptions of Other’s Ethics. Emotional Intelligence was significantly correlated with Self-Esteem, Social Desirability, Individual Ethics and Perceptions of Other’s Ethics.

And it is recommended that the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership practice can be considered as a subject in future studies.

Identifying Sustainable Practices for Tapping and Sap Collection from Birch Trees

Tapping and collecting sap from birch trees ( Betula , sp.) for the production of beverages and syrup is gaining increased levels of interest. Although the practice of tapping birch trees and collecting sap has been ongoing for millennia across the world, there remain some critical data needed in order to make science-based decisions about the production practices required to optimize yields and ensure sustainable outcomes are achieved in the long-term. In this study, experiments were conducted to determine two pieces of information essential to identify practices necessary to ensure tapping trees for birch sap collection were both sustainable and profitable—the selection of the time to initiate tapping birch trees to obtain maximum yields, and the volume of nonconductive wood (NCW) associated with taphole wounds in birch trees. The yields obtained from various timing treatments varied between sapflow seasons, but indicated that using test tapholes to choose the appropriate ti

Incorporation of High-Altitude Balloon Experiment in High School Science Classrooms

High-altitude balloon is a balloon, filled usually with helium or hydrogen that ascends into an area called “near space” or stratosphere. The most common type of high-altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers. The mission of the High-Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) is to acquire supporting data, validate enabling technologies, and resolve critical acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) and fire control issues in support of future space-based precision pointing experiments. The use of high-altitude balloons offers a relatively low-cost, low-vibration test platform, a recoverable and reusable payload, worldwide launch capability, and a 'near- space' emulation of the future space systems operational scenarios. More recently, several university
