Assessing the Impact of Water Efficiency Policies on Qatar’s Electricity and Water Sectors by Athar Kamal (17191843)

“…Further results suggest that while replacing groundwater with desalinated water can increase the energy consumption significantly, reuse of treated wastewater has almost the same footprint as groundwater, but can increase the resilience of the system considerably as groundwater abstraction levels are lowered to their renewal rates</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Energies<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en14144348" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en14144348</a></p>…”

Seroprevalence of camel brucellosis in Qatar by Hashim Alhussain (9167136)

“…Camels below breeding age (i.e., < 4 years old) showed decreased seropositivity (3.4%, 95% CI, 0.1–17.8), compared to (22.8%, 95% CI, 17.4–29.0) seropositivity in camels ≥ 4 years of age, with a significant association between age groups and seropositivity (<i>P</i> = 0.02). …”

Assessing the Impact of Sustainability Risks on Disaster and Pandemic Vulnerabilities: A Global Perspective by Qazi, Abroon

“…The results highlight that shortcomings in SDGs such as ‘quality education’, ‘sustainable cities and communities’, ‘no poverty’, and ‘affordable and clean energy’ significantly increase disaster and pandemic risks. Conversely, strong performance in ‘peace, justice, and strong institutions’ and ‘life on land’ enhances systemic resilience, reducing vulnerability. …”

Epidemiology of injuries from fire, heat and hot substances: global, regional and national morbidity and mortality estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study by Spencer L James (8673927)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Globally, there were 8 991 468 (7 481 218 to 10 740 897) new fire, heat and hot substance injuries in 2017 with 120 632 (101 630 to 129 383) deaths. At the global level, the age-standardised mortality caused by fire, heat and hot substances significantly declined from 1990 to 2017, but regionally there was variability in age-standardised incidence with some regions experiencing an increase (eg, Southern Latin America) and others experiencing a significant decrease (eg, High-income North America).…”

Nicotine induces resilience to chronic social defeat stress in a mouse model of water pipe tobacco exposure by activating BDNF signaling by Khalifeh, Mohamad

“…Even though WTS initially decreased anxiety-like behaviors, prolonged exposure after the completion of CSDS significantly induced anxiety-like behaviors. Finally, we showed that nicotine mediates the effects of WTS only on resilience to stress by increasing BDNF and TRKB levels and signaling. …”

Selective induction of apoptosis in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by pristimerin through dual PI3K/AKT pathway inhibition and ROS generation by Shilpa Kuttikrishnan (3520079)

“…In this study, we demonstrate that Prist effectively inhibits the proliferation of T-ALL cell lines (Jurkat and Molt 4) by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and triggering intrinsic and extrinsic caspase-dependent apoptosis. Prist significantly increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and depletes glutathione (GSH), leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cytochrome c release. …”
