Road safety and traffic medicine in Iran: Achievements and challenges by A. Motevalian (19807242)

“…Some of the interventions that might be contributing to this achievement include the following: a) the new traffic law passed in 2010 that replaced the previous one dating back to 1968. Heavier penalties for major offences like: speeding, driving under the influence and dangerous driving are considered in the new law; b) stricter law enforcement by traffic polices(1); c) mass media campaign for traffic injury prevention (1); d) using fixed speed camera systems and laser speed guns; e) universal coverage of hospital treatment costs for all traffic injuries by Ministry of Health and Medical Education(2); and f) graduated driving license. …”

The Development of Metal-Free Porous Organic Polymers for Sustainable Carbon Dioxide Photoreduction by Bariki, Ranjit

“…A viable tactic to effectively address the climate crisis is the production of renewable fuels via photocatalytic reactions using solar energy and available resources like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water.

Analyzing the Influence of Climate and Anthropogenic Development on Vegetation Cover in the Coastal Ecosystems of GCC by Abhilash Dutta Roy (22466830)

“…Our results revealed significant changes in land cover, as seen by an increase in artificial built-up areas by 15.5% in two decades and a corresponding decrease in bareland and dense vegetation. We also observed an increase in mangrove and seagrass areas, likely due to recent conservation and afforestation efforts. …”

Pleiotropic functions of the tumor- and metastasis-suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-8 in mammary cancer in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice by Julie Decock (44558)

“…These findings provide novel insight into the suppressive action of MMP-8 on mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis, and indicate that the loss of MMP-8 likely has pleiotropic effects on innate immunity and angiogenesis that are reflected in changes in the protease web.…”
