Perception and behavior toward neuropsychiatric disorders in Saudi Arabia
This systematic literature review was conducted to examine the most studied neurodevelopmental disorders reported in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and explore public knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
Designing an Effective Educational Toy
Our research project titled "Designing an Effective Educational Toy: Incorporating Design-Thinking in the Design Classroom" seeks to bridge the gap between creativity and education. Published in Discover Education, this study explores the development of a 3D letter-building toy.
Protecting patient privacy in metagenomic sequencing studies
Incomplete human reference genomes can drive false sex biases and expose patient-identifying information in metagenomic data, but there are ways to mitigate this.
Salt-In-Presalt Electrolyte Design for High-energy Sodium Batteries
Our present work introduces a new electrolyte design named “Salt-In-Presalt” (SIPS). This strategy maximizes the fluorinated anion functions at a low salt concentration and promotes inorganic electrolyte-electrode interphases to realize long-cycle performance for high-energy sodium batteries.
Digitalization of healthcare professional education
In line with the rapid advancement of technology and the integration of various aspects of life, education needs to progress towards digitalization, and research should aim to identify the most effective methods.
Effect of Stress Management Based Self-Care Counseling on Glycemic Control in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Trial Study
Gestational diabetes has become a significant public health concern. According to statistics, this type of diabetes can lead to serious complications for both the mother and the newborn. Therefore, researchers are seeking solutions to help these women and improve their health.
Distinct anthropogenic aerosol and greenhouse gas effects on El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability
El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability has conspicuous impacts on ecosystems and extreme weather. Here, we investigate the effects of anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases on ENSO variability during the historical period using a broad set of climate models.
The Lasting Impact of COVID-19 on Education
Pandemic-driven school closures caused significant learning losses, with disadvantaged students most affected, leading to long-term economic risks and widening inequalities.
Revolutionizing Liver Recovery: My Journey with hAAMs in Regenerative Medicine
As a researcher in regenerative medicine, I’m fascinated by the body’s ability to heal itself. My recent study in npj Regenerative Medicine explores human alternatively activated macrophages (hAAMs) to promote liver regeneration, offering a promising step toward innovative cell therapies.
New Battery Interphase Technology: Electrophile Reduction Strategy
Our work presents a new interphase chemistry in which reductive electrophiles gain electrons and cations from solid-state electrolytes upon contact, forming layers on the materials' surfaces, which enhances their electrochemical stability and offers adaptable solutions for other battery materials.
