    Temperature-independent quantum logic for molecular spectroscopy

    Get PDF
    We propose a fast and non-destructive spectroscopic method for single molecular ions that implements quantum logic schemes between an atomic ion and the molecular ion of interest. Our proposal relies on a hybrid coherent manipulation of the two-ion system, using optical or magnetic forces depending on the types of molecular levels to be addressed (Zeeman, rotational, vibrational or electronic degrees of freedom). The method is especially suited for the non-destructive precision spectroscopy of single molecular ions, and sets a starting point for new hybrid quantum computation schemes that combine molecular and atomic ions, covering the measurement and entangling steps.Comment: v3.

    Neuroleadership: a new way for happiness management

    Get PDF
    In a post-pandemic era, managers and leaders have a role to enable the changes needed to make workplaces happier and more productive. This paper aims to analyse the role of neuroleadership in the application of happiness management. Two research questions are proposed: what do we know about neuroleadership? and what role can neuroleadership play in happiness management? A mixed methodology is applied. A bibliometric technique is used to identify the main topics studied in neuroleadership. An in-depth analysis and logical reasoning are applied to propose a neuroleadership research roadmap and to present some research pathways for neuroleadership for happiness management. A neuroleadership research roadmap is proposed, considering the approaches, practices/actions, and purposes. It is observed that the consideration of the management of emotions and cognitive processes in the work environment is attracting interest to develop a leadership focused on making better workplaces. A new line of action focused on the management of happiness is emerging. In addition, neuroleadership is presented as a new way of understanding management. Their combined application can mark a before and after in business management, and for that, a proposal of future research lines and questions is developed. This paper presents four future research pathways-perspectives, reasons, adoption and implementation, and results-for studying neuroleadership for happiness management.14 página

    Genetic, parental and lifestyle factors influence telomere length

    Get PDF
    The average length of telomere repeats (TL) declines with age and is considered to be a marker of biological ageing. Here, we measured TL in six blood cell types from 1046 individuals using the clinically validated Flow-FISH method. We identified remarkable cell-type-specific variations in TL. Host genetics, environmental, parental and intrinsic factors such as sex, parental age, and smoking are associated to variations in TL. By analysing the genome-wide methylation patterns, we identified that the association of maternal, but not paternal, age to TL is mediated by epigenetics. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data for 62 participants revealed differential gene expression in T-cells. Genes negatively associated with TL were enriched for pathways related to translation and nonsense-mediated decay. Altogether, this study addresses cell-type-specific differences in telomere biology and its relation to cell-type-specific gene expression and highlights how perinatal factors play a role in determining TL, on top of genetics and lifestyle.We thank J.

    Coaching leaders toward favorable trajectories of burnout and engagement

    Get PDF
    Existing literature on executive coaching has shown beneficial outcomes for leaders. Indeed, executive coaching can positively affect an individual’s psychological well-being and quality of work life. However, while burnout among leaders is on the rise, to our knowledge no prior study has investigated the influence of executive coaching on the dimensions of burnout and engagement concurrently. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to examine if an executive coaching intervention has positive effects on managerial burnout and engagement. We implemented a ten-week coaching intervention for leaders, where questionnaire data were collected at two time points. Participants (N = 92; Mage = 42; 64% male) were randomly assigned to an intervention or a wait-list control group. Self-reported levels of engagement and burnout were collected at the start of the study protocol (T1) and at the end (T2). Coaching sessions for the intervention group were one hour once per week. The control group did not receive coaching. Repeated measures ANOVAs examined the extent to which the intervention influences the leader’s engagement and burnout. Analyses revealed that all three dimensions of burnout significantly decreased for the intervention group over time while vigor increased. Findings did not reveal an increase in dedication and absorption. Consistent with prior literature, this study supports that executive coaching can improve a leader’s well-being. Specifically, this study shows that an executive coaching intervention can decrease burnout symptoms and increase vigor in leaders. Adding a follow-up survey to the design would allow for further exploration of the intervention on engagement

    Medium- and long-term health effects of earthquakes in high-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: Accurate monitoring of population health is essential to ensure proper recovery after earthquakes. We aimed to summarize the findings and features of post-earthquake epidemiological studies conducted in high-income countries and to prompt the development of future surveillance plans. METHODS: Medline, Scopus and six sources of grey literature were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria were: observational study conducted in high-income countries with at least one comparison group of unexposed participants, and measurement of health outcomes at least 1 month after the earthquake. RESULTS: A total of 52 articles were included, assessing the effects of 13 earthquakes that occurred in eight countries. Most studies: had a time-series (33%) or cross-sectional (29%) design; included temporal comparison groups (63%); used routine data (58%); and focused on patient subgroups rather than the whole population (65%). Individuals exposed to earthquakes had: 2% higher all-cause mortality rates [95% confidence interval (CI), 1% to 3%]; 36% (95% CI, 19% to 57%) and 37% (95% CI, 29% to 46%) greater mortality rates from myocardial infarction and stroke, respectively; and 0.16 higher mean percent points of glycated haemoglobin (95% CI, 0.07% to 0.25% points). There was no evidence of earthquake effects for blood pressure, body mass index or lipid biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS: A more regular and coordinated use of large and routinely collected datasets would benefit post-earthquake epidemiological surveillance. Whenever possible, a cohort design with geographical and temporal comparison groups should be used, and both communicable and non-communicable diseases should be assessed. Post-earthquake epidemiological surveillance should also capture the impact of seismic events on the access to and use of health care services

    Utilización de sistemas de cebo basados en ensilados y forrajes unifeed como alternativa al sistema de cebo a pienso; efecto en los parámetro productivos y en la calidad de la carne

    Get PDF
    CONCLUSIONES 1. Las dietas de unifeed con forrajes han resultado más baratas que las del sistema basado en pienso y paja, con una reducción del coste por kilo de ganancia de peso vivo, o por kilo de canal aproximadamente del 25%. 2. Las canales y las carnes de los animales cebados con dietas forrajeras tendieron a presentar menor porcentaje de grasa. 3. Se apreció que la grasa subcutánea de las dietas de silo de maíz o de pradera fue más amarillenta, en especial cuando los animales eran pasteros, mientras que los animales no pasteros y cebados con pienso presentaron una grasa subcutánea blanca. 4. La composición de la grasa intramuscular, que es el veteado de la carne, varió según dietas de cebo. Las dietas unifeed de ensilado de maíz y los animales pasteros depositaron menos ácidos grasos saturados, más ácidos grasos poliinsaturados, con mejor (menor) relación omega-6/omega-3 y con más ácido linoleico conjugado (CLA). 5. En general, no se apreciaron defectos de color en la carne envasadas en bandejas cubiertas por film permeable al oxígeno ni tampoco en las envasadas en atmósferas modificadas (70% O2, 20% CO2 y 10% N2). Hallándose menores variaciones debidas al tipo de dieta de cebo, que a las debidas a sexo, raza, individuo etc. 6. La dureza instrumental de la carne no se modificó por efecto de la dieta de cebo, aunque se apreció que es necesaria una maduración superior a 7 días en muchas de las carnes. La implicación comercial que tiene este trabajo es la utilización de dietas unifeed con forrajes y especialmente silo de maíz, que tienen un menor coste de producción. Se puede producir una carne más acorde con las recomendaciones de la EFSA desde el punto de vista de las enfermedades cardiovasculares de los consumidores. La mayor insaturación de las grasa no ha implicado una reducción de la vida útil de la carne fileteada en bandejas con atmósferas protegidas o al corte. La coloración de la carne ha sido normal y la coloración de la grasa subcutánea algo más amarillenta sirve para su trazabilidad como carne natural de animales jóvenes cebados con forrajes ricos en antioxidantes vegetales naturales
