OBJECTIVES Vital exhaustion, a construct overlapping with burnout, is an independent risk factor for adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess vital exhaustion in employees in the manufacturing industry and identify work characteristics associated with exhaustion. METHODS Cross-sectional study. A stratified, representative random sample of employees from a ...

In this article, we define and study the class of simple transitive 2-representations of finitary 2-categories. We prove a weak version of the classical Jordan-Hölder Theorem where the weak composition subquotients are given by simple transitive 2-representations. For a large class of finitary 2-categories we prove that simple transitive 2-representations are exhausted by cell 2-representations...

PURPOSE Burnout is a threat to the primary care workforce. We investigated the relationship between team structure, team culture, and emotional exhaustion of clinicians and staff in primary care practices. METHODS We surveyed 231 clinicians and 280 staff members of 10 public and 6 university-run primary care clinics in San Francisco in 2012. Predictor variables included team structure, such a...

[Purpose] Older adults experience exhaustion-induced health problems, such as poor physical function and low physical activity levels. The associations between self-reported exhaustion and physical function and activity are not clear in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between self-reported exhaustion and physical func...

Many bacteria, including the model bacterium Escherichia coli can survive for years within spent media, following resource exhaustion. We carried out evolutionary experiments, followed by whole genome sequencing of hundreds of evolved clones to study the dynamics by which E. coli adapts during the first 4 months of survival under resource exhaustion. Our results reveal that bacteria evolving un...

A dominant account of selective attention, perceptual load theory, proposes that when attentional resources are exhausted, task-irrelevant information receives little attention and goes unrecognized. However, the flanker effect-typically used to assay stimulus identification-requires an arbitrary mapping between a stimulus and a response. We looked for failures of flanker identification by usin...

We introduce the growth rank of a C∗-algebra — a (N∪ {∞})-valued invariant whose minimal instance is equivalent to the condition that an algebra absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially — and prove that its range is exhausted by simple, nuclear C∗-algebras. As consequences we obtain a well developed theory of dimension growth for approximately homogeneous (AH) C∗-algebras, establish the exist...
