Presenteeism and productivity: The role of biomarkers and hormones
Purpose. This study aimed to assess whether self-reported productivity despite presenteeism
may be affected by biomarkers and hormones and how these physiological indicators can
interact with each other to explain the presenteeism dimensions. Methods. This pilot study included
180 healthy participants with a mean age of 41.22 years (SD = 13.58), 76.11% of whom were female.
The dependent variable included a self-reported measure of productivity loss due to presenteeism:
the Stanford Presenteeism Scale 6. This study also includes physiological indicators such as biomarkers
(C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood glucose) and hormones (cortisol and TSH thyroid hormone).
Results. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that CRP moderated the relationship between
cortisol levels and productivity despite presenteeism. Moreover, the increase of TSH moderated the
relationship between cortisol, glycemia, and employeesâ capacity to complete work tasks while sick.
Conclusions. The results highlight TSHâs moderating role in decreasing employeesâ capacity to fulfill
tasks when these individuals have high levels of glycemia and cortisol in their blood. These findings
have practical and theoretical implications based on a fuller understanding of how biomarkers and
hormones explain productivity despite presenteeism.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Mammals, Serra da ConcĂłrdia, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro is extremely fragmented and reduced in its originalextension. Although there are a great number of studies related to the biome, few lists are available for this region. Thepresent study seeks to get information on the mammals of a remnant forest in Serra da ConcĂłrdia, an area from whichno information is currently available. The rapid mammal's survey was accomplished by use of pitfalls, live traps,transects, mist nets, and camera traps. We recorded 37 terrestrial species that represent 22.3 % of Rio de Janeiro statemammal species. Among the recorded species, six are endemic of the Atlantic Forest, one is endemic of the state, andeight are in the state list of threatened or presumably threatened species. The area presents great mammal richness andan increasing effort will probably reveal the presence of additional species
ATLAS silicon module assembly and qualification tests at IFIC Valencia
ATLAS experiment, designed to probe the interactions of particles emerging
out of proton proton collisions at energies of up to 14 TeV, will assume
operation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in 2007. This paper
discusses the assembly and the quality control tests of forward detector
modules for the ATLAS silicon microstrip detector assembled at the Instituto de
Fisica Corpuscular (IFIC) in Valencia. The construction and testing procedures
are outlined and the laboratory equipment is briefly described. Emphasis is
given on the module quality achieved in terms of mechanical and electrical
stability.Comment: 23 pages, 38 EPS figures, uses JINST LaTeX clas

A new classification of Cyperaceae (Poales) supported by phylogenomic data
Cyperaceae (sedges) are the third largest monocot family and are of considerable economic and ecological importance. Sedges represent an ideal model family to study evolutionary biology because of their species richness, global distribution, large discrepancies in lineage diversity, broad range of ecological preferences, and adaptations including multiple origins of C4 photosynthesis and holocentric chromosomes. Goetghebeurâs seminal work on Cyperaceae published in 1998 provided the most recent complete classification at tribal and generic level, based on a morphological study of Cyperaceae inflorescence, spikelet, flower and embryo characters plus anatomical and other information. Since then, several familyâlevel molecular phylogenetic studies using Sanger sequence data have been published. Here, more than 20 years after the last comprehensive classification of the family, we present the first familyâwide phylogenomic study of Cyperaceae based on targeted sequencing using the Angiosperms353 probe kit sampling 311 accessions. Additionally, 62 accessions available from GenBank were mined for overlapping reads and included in the phylogenomic analyses. Informed by this backbone phylogeny, a new classification for the family at the tribal, subtribal and generic levels is proposed. The majority of previously recognized suprageneric groups are supported, and for the first time we establish support for tribe Cryptangieae as a clade including the genus Koyamaea. We provide a taxonomic treatment including identification keys and diagnoses for the 2 subfamilies, 24 tribes and 10 subtribes and basic information on the 95 genera. The classification includes five new subtribes in tribe Schoeneae: Anthelepidinae, Caustiinae, Gymnoschoeninae, Lepidospermatinae and Oreobolinae. This article is protected by copyright.
