  • What Do Y Tell Us About the Industry in Brazil?
    May 2007 – Phase I Report This publication is under embargo up to 31 May, 11 am (EST) HE TOBACCO INDUSTRY DOCUMENTS: WHAT DO THEY TELL US ABOUT THE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL? T This work was commissioned by the Pan American Health Organization as part of a multi-phase project to analyze the tobacco industry and tobacco control in Brazil. This preliminary report represents Phase I of the project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This report builds on a previously published Pan American Health Organization report and presents preliminary results of a multi-phase project to map out the roles of the tobacco industry and of the tobacco control movement in Brazil. • This initial phase was developed to document the strategies and operations of the tobacco industry in Brazil as it can be determined from the tobacco industry documents publicly available after the settlement of legal cases of 46 states and territories of the United States with the US- based tobacco companies. • Brazil is an important tobacco market: its large, young, population appeal to tobacco companies searching to expand and it has a large tobacco growing, manufacturing and export business. • Despite the role of tobacco in the Brazilian economy, Brazil has been a world leader in implementing a regulatory framework in which the tobacco 1 May 2007 – Phase I Report industry operates. Overall adult smoking prevalence seems to be in decline, but youth smoking remains high in certain areas of the country. • The main cigarette companies operating in the country are Souza Cruz, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, with approximately 75% share of market; and Philip Morris Brazil, part of Philip Morris International, with approximately 15% of the market.

  • Analysis of Effects of Smoking on Lung Function, and Respiratory Muscle Strength of Pakistani Youth
    ISSN: 2574-1241 Volume 5- Issue 4: 2018 DOI: 10.26717/BJSTR.2018.07.001570 Murad Mehmood. Biomed J Sci & Tech Res Research Article Open Access Analysis of effects of Smoking on Lung Function, and Respiratory Muscle Strength of Pakistani Youth Murad Mehmood*, Muhammad Ahmad Shahid and Ahmar Saleem Services institute of medical sciences Lahore, Pakistan Received: August 04, 2018; Published: August 13, 2018 *Corresponding author: Murad Mehmood, Services institute of medical sciences Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Introduction: In the present era, cigarette smoking is a major but preventable cause of death. Despite being aware of its harmful and hazardous effects, many young adults begin experimenting with cigarettes at a very early age and then adopt it as a regular habit. Objectives of the Study: The basic objective of our study is to analyze the effects of smoking on lung function, and respiratory muscle strength of Pakistani youth. Methodology of the Study: This study was conducted at Services institute of medical sciences, Lahore during 2017. Youth male subjects aged 12 to 18 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Socio-demographic values and medical history of the selected patients were recorded clearly. Prior to participation in this study, each subject signed an informed consent form to comply with the ethical guidelines. Results: Most subjects started cigarette smoking between the ages of 15 to 18 years. The most common duration of cigarette smoking was 1-3 years. Three major parameters, chest expansion, lung function using spirometry, and respiratory muscle strength, were compared and these all are high in smokers. Conclusion: It is concluded that most of the people started smoking in young age due to environmental and social factors.

PS has been used for decades in particleboard manufacture, particularly in the core layer. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of PS with a length over 4 mm in low-density one-layer particleboard manufacturing with a thickness of 10 mm, as an option to reduce the raw material demand for wood-based panels. Correlations towards the mechanical properties of the particleboards, fabricated at a density of Citation: Gößwald, J.; Barbu, M.C.; 475 kg/m3, could be drawn by analyzing the effects of different urea-formaldehyde adhesive contents Petutschnigg, A.; Krišt’ák, L’.;Tudor, (6%, 9%, and 12%).

What lay shrouded in darkness DISCOURSE is revealed, and hidden spaces suddenly open wide under light’s dance. In itself, unseen, we see by means of light’s selfless activ- ity. In physics, the refinement of light’s touch is measured by its BY wavelength. The very smallness of visible light’s internal patterned movement guarantees that the tiniest detail, the most subtle tex- ARTHUR ture, remains visible. The brushed surface of metal and the filam- entary strands of the spider’s web would both fade into invisibility if light were larger, its wavelength longer. Z AJONC Einstein alerted us to the unique role played by the speed of light, which is a universal absolute in a relative universe, an ulti- mate limit in a limitless cosmos. He and Max Planck discovered that, although massless, even light has its least part – the quan- tum or photon. And yet that quantum, like light itself, eludes our conceptual grasp, maintaining its subtle ambiguity and whole- ness through all attempts to confine and define it. Over count- less years, starlight travels from the most distance reaches of space and from the beginnings of time to reach our eyes. In a mir- acle of reciprocity, our eyes are so perfectly adapted to light that only a few light quanta are needed for sight. What to our sensi- bilities is the long journey of light through the cosmos lasting ten billion years, is to the photon a mere instant – such are the mys- teries of relativity.

Some of these data are observed analysis and canonical correlation analysis. The data, multivariate from controlled and/or random experiments. Whatever be the or uni-variate, are collected according to some pre-determined source of data, the analysis of these helps the researchers to infer objectives. The analytical plan is also pre-determined so that about the characteristics of the population from which the data are proper conclusion can be drawn according to the objectives. The whole activities along with statistical interpretation are presented the problem in doing analysis of the collected data due to lack of collected. The researchers in the field of medical science often face concisely. This presentation of analytical results is known as knowledge of proper statistical techniques suitable for a particular reporting writing. However, the presentation of analytical results data.
