Cadmium Intake, Dietary Patterns and Hyperuricemia Among Adults in China by Zumin Shi (287671)

“…After adjusting for demographic, lifestyle factors (i.e. smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity) and chronic conditions, the OR for HU was 2.25 (95%CI 1.84–2.77, p for trend < 0.001) for extreme quartiles of estimated cumulative cadmium intake. A traditional southern dietary pattern characterized by high intake of rice, pork, fish and vegetables, and low intake of wheat was associated with three times increased prevalence of HU; comparing the extreme quartiles, the odds ratio (OR) was 3.24 (95%CI 2.61–4.01). …”

Assessment of Qatar’s road network under sea-level-rise scenarios using traffic simulation and graph theory by Mohammad Zaher Serdar (17191381)

“…High-resolution maps derived from IPCC-AR6 and NOAA projections show that without adaptation measures, SLR may affect approximately 3–11% of land and 2–17% of roads in Qatar, potentially increasing trip durations up to 15 times. Importantly, the estimated impacts are indicative trends rather than definitive outcomes linked to specific emissions scenarios. …”
