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

“…We separated risk factors into three groups according to trajectory over time: those with a decreasing attributable burden, due largely to declining risk exposure (eg, diet high in trans-fat and household air pollution) but also to proportionally smaller child and youth populations (eg, child and maternal malnutrition); those for which the burden increased moderately in spite of declining risk exposure, due largely to population ageing (eg, smoking); and those for which the burden increased considerably due to both increasing risk exposure and population ageing (eg, ambient particulate matter air pollution, high BMI, high FPG, and high SBP). …”

Evaluation of Workability and Structuration Rate of Locally Developed 3D Printing Concrete Using Conventional Methods by Ahmed, Sara

“…Therefore, the main objective of this research was to develop 3D printing mixes with different aggregate-to-binder (a/b) ratios (1.2, 1.5, and 1.8) and evaluate it in terms of its fresh printing properties, which include the workability, extrudability, setting time, open time, and buildability. The compressive strengths of cast and printed specimens were also tested to determine the effect of the layering process. …”
