Removal of copper ions from aqueous solution using NaOH-treated rice husk by Shagufta Zafar (10027380)

“…The chemical treatment was carried out using NaOH solution and the effect of contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (Dad), initial Cu (II) concentration ([Cu]i), and temperature (T) on the percentage removals of Cu (II) (%RCu) were investigated. Different analytical techniques (FTIR, SEM, and EDX) were used to confirm the adsorption (ads) of Cu (II) onto the TRH. …”

Cost-benefit analysis of antimicrobial stewardship program in a cancer setting in Qatar by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…Premature ASP was defined as the 12 months following the establishment of the ASP (May 2015-April 2016), while mature ASP was the most recent 12 months of ASP implementation at the National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) (February 2019-January 2020). Patient records were retrospectively reviewed. The total economic benefit of the ASP maturity was calculated as the sum of the cost savings and the cost avoidance associated with the service minus the operational cost.3 Cost savings were the reduction in therapy cost linked to decreased antimicrobial consumption and resource utilization. …”
