Reducing injuries among young drivers: what kind of measures are needed? by Hans-Yngve Berg (19794540)

“…Keskinen (1996) divided the task of driving into four separate levels (4. goals for life and skills for living, 3. goals and context of driving, 2. mastering traffic situations and 1. vehicle maneuvering) in which the higher levels are considered to always affect behavior on the lower levels.The idea behind a hierarchical approach is that success as well as failure on the higher levels will affect the demand on lower levels (Hatakka et al. 2002). …”

Role of nutritional indices in predicting outcomes of vascular surgery by Jabbour, Jana

“…Background Malnutrition is frequent among vascular surgery patients, given their age, chronic comorbidities, and poor functional status, and it is believed to increase their operative risk. We aimed to assess the combined use of recent significant weight loss (>10% body mass) and serum albumin levels as a nutritional status index to predict outcomes. …”

Biochemical Characterization of Halotolerant Bacillus safensis PM22 and Its Potential to Enhance Growth of Maize under Salinity Stress by Muhammad Atif Azeem (17542080)

“…Furthermore, PM22-inoculated plants showed markedly enhanced photosynthetic pigment, carotenoid, leaf relative water content, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) activity, salt tolerance index, total soluble sugar, total protein, and ascorbic acid contents compared to non-inoculated control maize plants. PM22 substantially increased antioxidant (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) activities in maize plants, including ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, total flavonoid, and phenol levels. …”

RFX3 is essential for the generation of functional human pancreatic islets from stem cells by Bushra Memon (4792767)

“…The loss of <i>RFX3</i> disrupted pancreatic endocrine gene regulation, reduced the number of hormone-secreting islet cells and impaired beta cell function and insulin secretion. Despite a significant reduction in the expression levels of pancreatic islet hormones, the pan-endocrine marker chromogranin A remained unchanged at both EP and islet stages, likely due to an increase in the abundance of enterochromaffin cells (ECs). …”
