The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has an active gaming community, with Arab gamers being reliant on games produced in Europe, America, Japan due to the lack of significant game production companies MENA region. This study explores gamers' reactions localization process two video games, namely PUBG Free Fire. For data collection purposes, a five-point Likert scale questionnaire that...

The utilization of electricity-based fuels (e-fuels) is a potential strategy component for achieving greenhouse gas neutrality in the European Union (EU). As renewable electricity production sites EU itself might be scarce and relatively expensive, importing e-fuels from Middle East North Africa (MENA) could complementary cost-efficient option. Using energy system model Enertile, supply curves ...

Ena/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) proteins regulate the geometry of the actin cytoskeleton, thereby influencing cell morphology and motility. Analysis of invertebrate mutants implicates Ena/VASP function in several actin-dependent processes such as axon and dendritic guidance, cell migration, and dorsal closure. In vertebrates, genetic analysis of Ena/VASP function is hindered by...

Gephyrin is an essential component of the postsynaptic cortical protein network of inhibitory synapses. Gephyrin-based scaffolds participate in the assembly as well as the dynamics of receptor clusters by connecting the cytoplasmic domains of glycine and GABA(A) receptor polypeptides to two cytoskeletal systems, microtubules and microfilaments. Although there is evidence for a physical linkage ...

Abstract For millennia, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been a culturally dynamic zone, bounded by maritime societies dependent on sea for communication, trade livelihoods. The archaeological evidence of these past represents an extraordinary physical legacy human endeavour presence across this region, contributing to senses place, identity belonging amongst contemporary coas...

BACKGROUND Men who have sex with men (MSM) bear a disproportionately higher burden of HIV infection than the general population. MSM in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are a largely hidden population because of a prevailing stigma towards this type of sexual behavior, thereby limiting the ability to assess infection transmission patterns among them. It is widely perceived that data are ...

Most studies that examine CO2-neutral, or near power systems by using energy system models investigate Europe the United States, while similar for other regions are rare. In this paper, we focus on Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where weather conditions differ substantially from those in Europe. We use a green-field linear capacity expansion model with over-night investment to assess effe...
