Disordered Eating Attitudes Among University Students in Kuwait: The Role of Gender and Obesity

Abstract: Background: This study aimed to highlight the proportion of disordered eating attitudes among university students in Kuwait by gender and obesity. Methods: A sample of 530 Kuwaiti university students was selected from four universities in Kuwait (203 men and 327 women). The eating attitudes test-26 was used to determine disordered eating attitudes. Results: The prevalence of disordered eating attitudes was 31.8% and 33.6% among men and women respectively. Obese students of both genders had doubled the risk of disordered eating attitudes compared to nonobese students (odds ratio 1.99 and 1.98, respectively). Conclusions: About one third of university students in Kuwait had disordered eating attitudes. There is an urgent need to prevent and treat disordered eating attitudes in university students in Kuwait.

Phytochemical and biological studies of medicinal plants in Bahrain : The family Chenopodiaceae - Part 2

Abstract: Fifteen species from the family Chenopodiaceae have been analysed for their chemical constituents: alkaloids, anthraquinones, coumarins, flavonoids, saponins, sterols and/or terepenes and tannins. The antimicrobial activity of these plants was tested in two concentrations against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.

Identification of coherent generators using energy function

Abstract: A new method of identifying coherent generators for multiple faults in a power system is presented. A tentative coherent group of generators is initially determined by evaluating the energy function at different approximate unstable equilibrium points of the system. The final coherent groups for individual faults are obtained by checking relative rotor angles in the faulted system. The method is fast and saves a great deal of computation time. The proposed method was tested on three power networks and the results obtained perfectly matched with those found from classical simulation studies.

Cloud based IoT for smart garden watering system using Arduino Uno

Abstract: Automation the process of monitoring the garden can transform garden irrigation process from being manual and static to smart and dynamic one. This leads to higher comfortability, water using efficiency and less human supervision effort. This paper proposes a cloud based Internet of Things (IoT) smart garden monitoring and irrigation system using Arduino Uno. The watering requirement for a plant can be adjusted by monitoring the soil moisture. Measuring the soil moisture of the plant gives information if the plant is ideally watered, over watered or under watered. The proposed system monitors and maintains two quantities of the garden, the garden soil moisture content and light intensity. This is done using soil moisture sensors and light intensity sensor. The monitored data is sent continuously to ThinkSpeak IoT cloud. In the cloud the data gathered from the system is analyzed and when a target threshold of soil moister is reached, an action is sent accordingly from the cloud to the garden automatic watering system to irrigate the garden. Arduino Uno microcontroller is used to implement the system control unit. IoT is used to keep the garden owner updated about the status of the sprinklers. Information from the sensors is regularly updated on a ThinSpeack IoT cloud and the user can check the water sprinklers status at any time. In addition, the sensor readings are transmitted to a ThingSpeak channel to generate graphs for analysis.
