An evaluation of pathology laboratory workforce performance during mergers and acquisitions.

The effects of laboratory mergers and acquisitions on the clinical performance of its workforce remain largely unknown. This study examined laboratory professionals' work engagement and productivity, and investigated the role of social support as a moderator during mergers and acquisitions. A 51 question on-line survey was designed to cover demographics, work engagement, productivity, and levels of social support.

Health impacts in pathology workforce during mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Aims: To compare burn-out in laboratory professionals (LPs) with exposure to consolidation to those without, and to investigate the role of social support as a moderator in the exposure to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Methods: Surveys were sent to the clinical LPs, including 732 with exposure to M&A and 819 without. The dependent variable was burn-out, and the independent variable was exposure to M&A.

Measuring Power of Earth Disturbances Using Radio Wave Phase Imager.

Numerous studies have investigated ionospheric waves, also known as ionospheric disturbances. These disturbances exhibit complex wave patterns similar to those produced by solar, geomagnetic, and meteorological disturbances and human activities within the Earth's atmosphere. The radio wave phase imager described herein measures the power of the ionospheric waves using their phase shift seen in phase images produced by the Long Wavelength Array (LWA) at the New Mexico Observatory, a high-resolution radio camera.
