Exploring Beyond Numeric Weight Loss: The Metabolic Effects of Semaglutide. by Sara, Sokary

“…Studies have shown that semaglutide reduced fat mass, particularly visceral fat, while preserving lean muscle mass, as the proportion relative to total body mass decreased by 3.5% and 2.0% for total and visceral fat mass, respectively, while it increased by 3.0% for lean body mass. …”

Snow runoff modelling in the upper Indus River Basin and its implication to energy water food nexus by Hazrat Bilal (7367477)

“…This study employed the Degree-Day Snowmelt Runoff Model alongside the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS and daily ground-based hydro-meteorological data to model the snowmelt runoff response in the UIB. The results indicated a significant increase in the annual and seasonal runoff under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, suggesting more water availability for hydropower and irrigation. …”

Characterizing the dynamics of climate and native desert plants in Qatar by Meshal Abdullah (17746950)

“…Additionally, vegetation cover varied between protected sites, indicating the complexity of arid lands influenced by factors like topography and soil type. These findings suggest a continued decrease in vegetation coverage, leading to more drought seasons and impacting water and food security. …”

Association between sources of sexuality education, sexual beliefs and behaviours in Lebanese young adults by Bouclaous, Carmel H.

“…Sex and classes on reproductive health predicted a rise in SBI. The timing of classes, namely earlier introduction, and communication with family and religious figures predicted a decrease in SBI. …”

Deep learning-based modeling of land use/land cover changes impact on land surface temperature in Greater Amman Municipality, Jordan (1980–2030) by Khaled F. Alkaraki (22051967)

“…However, agricultural areas decreased from 152.13 km² (18.5%) in 1980 to 140.38 km² (17%) in 2023, while barren lands decreased from 54.44 km² (6.6%) in 1980 to 34.71 km² (4.22%) in 2023. …”

Evapotranspiration and water availability response to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa by Salah Basem Ajjur (14150967)

“…The trends in both projections (PET and AET) are exaggerated under SSP5-8.5. The analysis predicted a shortage of water availability (precipitation—AET), which is alarming for most MENA regions. …”

Effects of financial turmoil on financial integration and risk premia in emerging markets by Boubakri, Salem

“…Our sample consists of monthly data for 12 emerging stock markets over the period 1988M3-2015M3. We find that while the financial integration of emerging stock markets has registered short-term reversals episodes in countries that have been exposed to national or/and regional financial crises, it has decreased in most of the emerging countries of our sample since the global crisis. …”

Global Hotspots for Future Absolute Temperature Extremes From CMIP6 Models by Salah Basem Ajjur (14150967)

“…CMIP6 models were then used to evaluate the changes globally and in 44 reference regions under two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs): SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5. Globally, the analysis showed that, under SSP5‐8.5, TXx and TNx would increase by 0.07°C/year, and TXn (TNn) would increase by 0.09 (0.08)°C/year, during the middle of the 21st century (2021–2050), compared with the reference period (1981–2010). …”

Prevalence and correlates of mental health difficulties following the beirut port explosion: The roles of mentalizing and resilience. by Tohme, Pia

“…Higher mentalizing capacities were positively correlated with higher resilience scores and lower indices of mental health difficulties. Each unit increase in resilience scores was associated with a 3% reduction in meeting PCL-5 cutoff, and poorer mentalizing abilities was associated with a 2-fold increase in the risk of meeting PCL-5 cutoff. …”
