Biochar from food waste: a sustainable amendment to reduce water stress and improve the growth of chickpea plants by Snigdhendubala Pradhan (9872262)

“…Two biochar application rates improved soil quality by increasing soil porosity from 49.3 to ≥ 53.4%, more than doubling cation exchange capacity to ≥ 21.1 cmolc.kg−1, providing a small reduction in bulk density of approximately 10% and decreasing electrical conductivity of the extract by at least 40% in comparison to control condition. …”

3D printing of circular materials: Comparative environmental analysis of materials and construction techniques by Shoukat Alim Khan (14778226)

“…The main environmental "hot spot" identified for the geopolymer-based 3D printed construction process was the amount of electrical energy required for the mechanical processing of waste materials, which was more than 61% of the total GWP impact. In addition to decreasing solid CDW, the developed approach has significant potential for improvement by using more sustainable energy sources and reducing the amount of solid CDW generated.…”

Examining time-to-transport decisions in Emergency Medical Services by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…As the time spent on scene increases (due to various reasons, among them: spending more time providing clinical treatment and health education because the patient decided not to go to the hospital, or the crew spending more time convincing the patient to go to the hospital by explaining the potential complications of their condition and the potential outcomes of a refusal to go to hospital), the probability of transporting the patient decreases. …”

Antecedents and consequences on employee turnover intention in the hospitality industry in Lebanon by Baajour, Maya

“…H1 (There is an indirect relationship between PAT and Turnover) showed a significant result that when training is available employees’ intention to leave decreases. As for H2 (AC mediates the relationship between PAT and Turnover) it was supported as AC highly mediated the relationship between these two variables; it showed then when training is available, employees tend to be more committed to their organization and their intention to leave decreased. …”
