Predictors of prolonged hospitalization among geriatric trauma patients using the modified 5-Item Frailty index in a Middle Eastern trauma center: an 11-year retrospective study by Husham Abdelrahman (768893)

“…Head injury and bleeding were the leading causes of mortality in the study cohort. There was a significant decrease in the trend of geriatric trauma over the years. …”

An Evaluation of Short-Term Effects of Different Soil Management Systems on Soil Physical, Structural and Hydraulic Properties and an Estimation and Optimization of Water Infiltrat... by Merheb, Caroline

“…For irrigation rate smaller than 0.05cm/min, NT was faster since all the other systems had larger pore structure for which more time is needed to saturate. For higher irrigation rates, systems have only tilled layer are more efficient especially those amalgamated with chicken manure. …”

Formability of Ultrasonically Additive Manufactured Ti-Al Thin Foil Laminates by İrfan Kaya (18623313)

“…Hydraulic bulge test results showed that elongation improved as the number of bi-layers increased, yet the ultimate strength values did not change significantly indicating an expansion of the formability window.…”

The impact of cost function globality and locality in hybrid quantum neural networks on NISQ devices by Muhammad Kashif (3923483)

“…We consider two application scenarios namely, binary and multi-class classification, and show that for multiclass classification, the local cost function setting does not follow the claims of Cerezo et al; that is, the local cost function does not result in an extended quantum layer’s depth. We also show that for multiclass classification, the overall performance in terms of accuracy for the global cost function setting is significantly higher than the local cost function setting. …”

Do near-bedtime usage of smartphones and problematic internet usage really impact sleep? A study based on objectively recorded usage data by Aftab Alam (5158601)

“…</p><h3> Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The multivariate linear regression showed that the increase in PIU (β = −0.231, p < 0.001) and smartphone usage two hours before sleep (β = −0.246, p < 0.001) led to decrease in sleep duration. Regarding sleep distraction, multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that two hours before sleep was a significant and positive predictor of sleep distraction (β = 0.197, p = 0.003), whereas PIU was not significant. …”

Bond durability of sand coated and ribbed basalt FRP bars embedded in high-strength concrete by Abathar Al-Hamrani (16494884)

“…However, specimens with high-strength concrete achieved most of or above their maximum bond strength after the descending stage, while those with normal-strength concrete showed a decrease in bond strength to an approximately constant value with continuous slip. Ribbed bars had significantly higher bond strength than sand-coated bars and were less affected by the surrounding environments. …”

Sleeping habits during COVID-19 induced confinement: A study from Jordan by Mahmoud A. Alomari (14780446)

“…In addition, gender (p < 0.001) is an independent predictor of nighttime sleeping. Being a male is associated with a “decrease” and being a female is associated with an “increase” in nighttime sleeping hours (p < 0.05). …”

Effects of Social Media Use and Dependence on Dietary Intake and Prevalence of Orthorexia in Pregnant and Non-Pregnant Women by Issa, Yara

“…However, social media use was not significantly associated with orthorexia. Regression analyses showed that both social media use (p<0.001) and having a social media account (p=0.023) were predictors of reduced intuitive eating, with social media use being the most significant predictor. …”
