How FIFA World Cup 2022™ can meet the carbon neutral commitments and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development?: Reflections from the tree nursery project in Qatar... by Ioannis Spanos (2086933)

“…However, the use of desalinated water holds a negative impact on the carbon balance to such a level that the introduction of trees in Middle Eastern may not positively affect climate change mitigation. It was also found that the amount of carbon footprint reduction after the FIFA World Cup 2022 is expected to increase steadily during the average life expectancy of the trees assessed, which were evaluated to be circa 135 years. …”

Airway surface liquid volume expansion induces rapid changes in amiloride-sensitive Na⁺transport across upper airway epithelium-Implications concerning the resolution of... by Fouad Azizi (11835843)

“…On switching from basal to expanded ASLV conditions, short-circuit current (<i>I</i>_<em>sc</em>, a measure of total transepithelial active ion transport) declined by 90% with a half-time (t1/2) of 1 h. 24 h after the switch, there was no significant change in ATP concentration nor in the number of functional sodium pumps as revealed by [3H]-ouabain binding. …”

Investigation of Groundwater Depletion in the State of Qatar and Its Implication to Energy Water and Food Nexus by Hazrat Bilal (7367477)

“…Results show a substantial depletion in the groundwater thickness (0.24 ± 0.20 cm/year) during the period of observation (2002–2020). Long-term temperature data indicates that the annual mean temperature increased significantly by 1.02 °C between 1987 and 2016, while total rainfall exhibited a slight decreasing trend. …”

Mitigating undercooling and overheating risk in existing desert schools under current and future climate using validated building simulation model by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…In Palestine and neighboring regions, buildings are constructed without insulation and mechanical heating and cooling systems, leading to significant thermal discomfort for occupants. To address this issue, the paper in troduces a robust methodology that utilizes a validated building simulation model (BSM) created based on hourly indoor air temperature to assess indoor thermal comfort during winter and summer seasons under both current and future climates. …”
