Intersections are an integral part of a traffic system, thus, studying their safety and considering countermeasures to increase their safety should improve the overall safety of the traffic system. In this study, we looked into the intersections with the highest reported accidents in the Kingdom of Bahrain through the years [...]
Oral clinical status and oral health-related quality of life: is socioeconomic position a mediator or a moderator?
Aim: To evaluate whether socioeconomic position exerts a mediating and/or moderating effect on the association between oral clinical measures and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adolescents. Materials and methods: The study analysed data on 5,445 adolescents aged 15–19 years from the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil Project). The numbers [...]
Modeling the dipolar interaction field distributions in random superparamagnetic system
Dipolar interactions in a system of superparamagnetic nanoparticles play an important role in the magnetic response of the system, where it is well known that they depress the magnetisation. In this study, we simulate a system of 5000 interacting nanoparticles using Metropolis Monte Carlo method. In such system, it is [...]
Temperature effect on the synthesis of iron–cobalt nano-particles using catalytic chemical vapor deposition of CO 2 in thermo-gravimetric analyzer: Analytical and thermodynamic studies
Iron, cobalt and Fe–Co catalysts were prepared by conventional precipitation (co-precipitation for Fe–Co) method for the synthesis of nano-particles, using CO 2 as the carbon precursor by catalytic chemical vapor deposition. Synthesis was done in a thermo gravimetric analyzer at different temperatures ranging from 450 °C to 1000 °C particularly [...]
Coming full circle: Taking positive psychology to GCC universities
The sum of skills that lead to national prosperity has formed the bulk of a new system of inquiry called positive education, the best practises found in teaching along with the principles of positive psychology that focus on the development of student wellbeing versus the remediation of their problems.

The magnitude and correlates of geriatric depression using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) – a Bahrain perspective for the WHO 2017 campaign ‘Depression – let’s talk’
Aims: Amid no current estimates or correlates of geriatric depression in Bahrain and support WHO campaign 2017 ‘Depression–let’s talk’, we aimed to assess the magnitude of geriatric depression and explore its association with socio-demographic and health characteristics among the Bahrainis. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among the geriatric [...]

Objective: To evaluate the lifestyle of students at the University of Bahrain and to determine the prevalence of diseases and behavioral risk factors. Design: A Cross-Sectional Study. Setting: University of Bahrain, Bahrain. Method: Nine hundred sixty-six students enrolled in the academic year 2011/2012 from all educational levels seeking bachelor degree [...]
Regular consumption of green tea improves pulse pressure and induces regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients
This study characterized the effects of regular green tea (GT) and hot water (HW) ingestion on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse pressure (PP), and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in two equal, sex- and age-matched groups; Grp1 and Grp2 (n = 100 each; age 53 ± 4 years) of hypertensive patients. Grp1 [...]
Can Bahraini patients accept e-health systems?
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine whether Bahraini individuals accept e-health system and the prominent factors affecting e-health system adoption in Bahrain. Design/methodology/approach: The authors adopted a quantitative and qualitative approach, i.e., a self-administered questionnaire, unstructured and a semi-structured interview, which were used to collect the data.
