Exploring carbon dioxide sequestration in desalination reject brine via NaOH reaction: A kinetics study by Nafis Mahmud (14150004)

“…The effect of various operating parameters, such as the temperature, CO₂ concentration, NaOH dosage, brine salinity, CO₂ flowrates and inert particles volume percent were investigated by varying them within the range of 15–55 °C, 3–20 %, 6–16 g/L, 5–72 g/L, 1–5 L/min and 0–20%, respectively. The experimental data showed that the overall rate of CO₂ conversion is equal to the sum of the rates observed for Ca2+ and Mg²+ carbonation reactions and increases proportionally with the increase in CO₂ concentration. …”

Blood flow restriction‐enhanced platelet‐rich plasma: A pilot randomised controlled trial protocol by Muhammad Ayyan (16328986)

“…PRP platelet and leucocyte count, IGF‐1 and IL‐6 concentration measurements (via flow cytometry, chemiluminescence testing and immunochromatography, respectively) will be conducted before exercise and 10, 20 and 30 min after the intervention.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The expected outcome is that the standard protocol of low‐load bilateral knee extensions under BFR will increase the platelet and leucocyte count, IGF‐1 and IL‐6 in the PRP preparation.…”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”
