Case for investment in tobacco cessation
This study aimed to estimate the return on investments of three population-level tobacco cessation strategies and three pharmacological interventions. The analysis included 124 low- and middle-income countries, and assumed a 10-year investment period (2021–2030). The results indicate that all six cessation programmes could help about 152 million tobacco users quit and save 2.7 million lives during 2021–2030. If quitters were followed until 65 yea…
Correlates of compliance with national comprehensive smoke-free laws
The results show the importance of the depth of the enforcement infrastructure and effort represented by the degree to which the local government is involved in enforcement. They also show the significance of fighting corruption in the enforcement process, including the attempts of the tobacco industry to undermine the process, to achieve high levels of compliance with the law. The results point out to the need to invest minimal but essential enf…
Effects of UV‐B on certain metabolic processes of the green alga chlorella vulgaris
Exposure of Chlorella vulgaris to UV‐B radiation inhibited the survival, growth, and contents of proteins, carbohydrates and pigments in C. vulgaris. Protein was more sensitive to irradiation than carbohydrate. The sensitivity of photosynthetic pigments to UV‐B was in the order of: Chl b > Chi a > carotenoids. UV‐B also inhibited ammonium uptake and glutamine synthetase activity. The degree of inhibition was enhanced in the dark incubated cells a…
