Global disease burden attributed to low physical activity in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019: Insights from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study by Ammar, Achraf

“…Of all age-standardized DALYs globally in 2019, 0.6% (95% UI 0.3 to 1.1) may be attributable to low PA. The association between SDI and the proportion of age-standardized DALYs attributable to low PA suggests that regions with the highest SDI largely decreased their proportions of age-standardized DALYs attributable to low PA during 1990-2019, while other regions tended to have increased proportions in the same timeframe. …”

Conversion of Organic Municipal Wastes into Biochars and their Effect on Fertility Parameters of Normal and Sabkha Soils of Qatar by Ahmedna, Mohamed

“…To each pot, sufficient amount of 0.25-mm sieved biochar was mixed with soil to yield carbon to soil ratios of 0, 1, and 2% (wt/wt). Box-Behnken experimental design was used instead of the full factorial to decrease the number of treatments to a manageable level (126 treatments) with three replications at the center. …”

Perinatal outcomes following Helping Babies Breathe training and regular peer-peer skills practice among village midwives in Sudan. by Arabi, Ame

“…Excluding 11 macerated fetuses, there were 55 perinatal deaths: 14 FSB/18 ENND (6 months pre-HBBT(+RPPSP)) and 10 FSB/13 ENND (18 months post-HBBT(+RPPSP)). FSB rates decreased from 10.5 to 3.3 per 1000 births ((χ(2))=8.6209, p=0.003), while ENND rates decreased from 13.5 to 4.3 per 1000 live births ((χ(2))=10.9369, p=0.001) pre-HBBT(+RPPSP) and post-HBBT(+RPPSP), respectively. …”

Beta-caryophyllene exhibits anti-proliferative effects through apoptosis induction and cell cycle modulation in multiple myeloma cells by Mannino, Federica

“…These effects were counteracted by AM630 co-incubation, thus confirming that BCP’s mechanism of action is mainly related to CB2R modulation. A decrease in β-catenin regulated the impaired cell cycle and especially promoted cyclin D1 and CDK 4/6 reduction. …”

Reduced graphene oxide impregnated gelma hydrogel promotes angiogenic activity in chick embryo model by Rehman, Syed Raza ur

“…Statement of Purpose: Non-healing or slow healing of chronic wounds is among the serious complications of diabetes. Decrease in blood supply along with oxygen, nutrients and growth factors leads to reduced proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and keratinocyte cells as well as decrease in angiogenesis and collagen deposition in diabetic wounds [1]. …”

Detoxification assays of tunisian tannery wastewater under nonsterile conditions using the filamentous fungus aspergillus Niger by Boujelben, Raouia

“…Characterization of effluents also revealed high salt levels (EC > 17 mS/cm) and high organic matter content (25 g/L for the UE and 7.2 g/L for the FE) but a low biodegradability since BOD5 did not exceed 2.5 and 1.25 g/L for the UE and the FE, respectively. …”

Symbiotic dinoflagellates associated with corals in Qatar: characterization and physiological response to environmental change by Eldos, Haneen Ibrahim

“…Coral bleaching events witnessed during the last decades in the Arabian Gulf are believed to be the result of the effect of heat events occurring more frequently in the region as a result of the global ocean warming. When corals are under thermal stress, their symbiotic zooxanthellae are affected, and their photosynthetic activity decreases until the stress disappears or until the zooxanthellae are expelled from the coral. …”

Enhancement of mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of electrodeposited NiP-TiC composite coatings by Fayyaz O.

“…Vickers microhardness and nanoindentation results demonstrate the increase in the hardness with an increasing amount of TiC particles attaining its terminal value (593HV100) at the concentration of 1.5 g L−1. Further increase in the concentration of TiC particles results in a decrease in hardness, which can be ascribed to their accumulation in the Ni–P matrix. …”
