Short-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with or without lateral tenodesis or anterolateral ligament reconstruction: a retrospective cohort by Ashraf T. Hantouly (14150319)

“…There was no association between subjective stability, sIKDC, ACL-RSI, and pivot shift grade and the three ACLR techniques while adjusting for age, sex, and concomitant meniscus procedures at six weeks, 12 weeks, six months, and nine months. However, there was a significant decrease in postoperative flexion in the ACL and ALL reconstruction group by a mean of 22° (95% CI − 40.7 − 3.4; P = 0.02) at 6 weeks compared to ACLR alone, which was not evident on later follow-ups.…”

A stochastic dominance test under survey nonresponse with an application to comparing trust levels in Lebanese public institutions by Fakih, Ali

“…This paper examines the dynamics of trust in Lebanese public institutions using the 2013 wave of the World Values Survey as well as the 2016 and 2018 waves of the Arab Barometer, and finds convincing evidence of a decrease in confidence in most public institutions between 2013 and 2016.…”

Challenges for establishing a learning support centre in rural areas for students with specific learning disorders. (c2016) by Daoud, Rania N.

“…Students with specific learning disorders (SLDs) who live in rural areas in Lebanon may be deprived of support programs that are based on expert assessment; consequently, their education may be compromised. This study provides a design for an out-of-school Center whose mission is to improve learning outcomes and decrease failure rate in the K-12 mainstream classrooms for students with SLDs. …”

Effect of cycling and thermal control on the storage and dynamics of a 40-L monolithic adsorbed natural gas tank by Prosniewski, Matthew

“…It was found that over the course of 20 cycles, due to the retention of 1.9 kg of non-methane components by the monoliths, the useable volumetric storage dropped 16%, and the amount of gas delivered dropped 10%. A second cycling experiment found that by using thermal control while the system discharged, the mass retention decreased to 0.91 kg, and the useable volumetric storage and delivered mass only dropped 7% and 5%, respectively. …”
