Effects of covid-19 lockdown on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and satisfaction with life in Qatar: A preliminary study by Hermassi, Souhail

“…The largest reduction was detected for the sum parameter all physical activity (minutes per week, ηp2 = 0.67, p < 0.001; MET (metabolic equivalent of task)-minutes/week, ηp2 = 0.69, p < 0.001). Life satisfaction decreased, with the score for “I am satisfied with my life” (ηp2 = 0.76, p < 0.001) decreasing from 28.1 ± 4.81 to 14.2 ± 6.41 arbitrary units (AU). …”

Drive-up INR testing and phone-based consultations service during COVID-19 pandemic in a pharmacist-lead anticoagulation clinic in Qatar: Monitoring, clinical, resource utilization... by Alhmoud, Eman N.

“…Results: There was no statistically significant difference between clinic-based and phone-based anticoagulation services in mean time and number of visits within therapeutic range (P =.67; P =.06 respectively); mean number of extreme subtherapeutic and supratherapeutic INR values (P =.32 and P =.34, respectively); incidence of thromboembolic complications and warfarin related hospitalization. There was one reported bleeding and one emergency visit (0.9%) in the phone-based group vs none in the clinic-based group. …”

Thermodynamic analysis of solar-driven chemical looping steam methane reforming over Cr2O3/Cr redox pair by Bhosale, Rahul

“…Both CS and CSH processes are further compared by considering the best-case scenario and the comparison shows that the CSH process possess higher solar to fuel CSH = 71.1% than the solar to fuel CS = 54.0%. The solar to fuel CSH and solar to fuel CS can be further escalated up to 78.9% and 57.8% by occupying 50% of the heat recuperated by the coolers and WS reactor.…”
