Trade Flow and Nation Brand Distance: A Structural Gravity Model Approach by AL BESHER, HUDA ISMAIL

“…The empirical findings shows that NBD influence both export and import volume in which less distant countries in term of nation brands are able to overcome the negative effect of geographical distance which can stimulates the export mainly and import flow to some extent. The results on the impact of NBD on FTA and trade flows provides some interesting insights as the there is a negative and significant moderation impact of NBD on the relationship between FTA and both export and import volume which suggest that a decrease of NBD will increase the effect of FTA on trade flow. …”

The association between tobacco use and COVID-19 in Qatar by Ahmad AlMulla (10654461)

“…Smokeless tobacco use, older age (aged 55 + ), being male, non-Qatari, previously diagnosed with heart disease and diabetes were significant risk factors for severe COVID-19. Our data suggests that only smokeless tobacco users may be at an increased risk for severe disease, yet this requires further investigation as other studies have reported smoking to be associated with an increased risk of greater disease severity.…”

Distribution network line protection in the presence of distributed generation by Margossian, Harag

“…The evolution of the distribution network from a passive grid with unidirectional power flows to, in the presence of distributed generation (DGs), an active grid with bidirectional power flows can lead to some technical challenges in its operation as well as some opportunities for greater control and grid support. This dissertation studies the impact of high levels of penetration of DGs into the power system on the operation of distribution network line protection. …”

Predictors of Mortality in Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Regardless of Early Left Ventricular Unloading: A National Experience by Alaa Rahhal (14150403)

“…In-hospital 30-day mortality occurred in 42.7% among those who received VA-ECMO support regardless of IABP use, while it was 46.9% among those receiving early LV unloading with IABP. The significant positive predictors of mortality with VA-ECMO regardless of IABP in CS were CPR > 20 minutes (aOR 14.74, 95% CI 2.02-107.41; p-value= 0.008), older age (i.e., greater than 55 years) and LM disease of more than 50% stenosis were associated with a fourfold increase in the odds of mortality while on VA-ECMO. …”
