Ε-mail: seulggie@gmail. com Background: While smoking cessation reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), quitting also increases fasting serum glucose (FSG) levels. The effect of post-cessation FSG elevation on cardiovascular disease is unknown. Methods:The study population consisted of 128,208 men without type 2 diabetes from the Korean National Health Insurance System -Health Screening Cohort database. Change in smoking habits and FSG was determined by the difference in smoking status and FSG levels from the first (2002 and 2003) and second (2004 and 2005) health examinations. Quitters were divided into those with FSG elevation of greater than 10. 0 mg/dL and those without FSG elevation. The study participants were followed-up for cardiovascular disease and CVD-related death from 2006 to 2013.
Ε-mail: marisa. deandrade@ed. ac. uk Background: The tobacco market has been transformed by e-cigarettes and alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS). Despite speculation about the tobacco industry's (TI) business intentions regarding these developments, there is little empirical evidence. This study with industry stakeholders -tobacco and independents -addresses this. Methods: Empirical data synthesis using strengths-weaknessesopportunities-threats framework. Primary data from a unique dataset of elite interviews with TI and independents (n=28) triangulated against secondary data (n=1,022) including company reports, investor/market research analyses, press releases, government consultations (n=170). Results: Tobacco multinationals were taken by surprise by e-cigarettes. Clarity provided by the fiduciary imperative has enabled them to turn a threat into profitable opportunities.
Tob. Induc. Dis. 2018;16(Suppl 1):A133 DOI:10. 18332/tid/83883 12:45-14:00 EP-134-3 Collecting cigarette price data on a limited budget Data forms the backbone of any scientific research project. In many countries the statistical authorities collect information on cigarette prices but often the coverage of this data is restricted to large metropolitan areas or these databases are not made available. The Economics of Tobacco Control Project at the University of Cape Town (UCT) has used foreign based students to collect cigarette price data in a number of African countries on a very limited budget.

The three datasets were merged (Pooled N = 9,082). Data analysis included chi-square statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: During 2007-2016, the proportion of South Africans who reported exposure to SHS at home on any one day increased from 31. 9% in 2007 to 36. 6% in 2016 (p=0. 637), while exposure on any one day at any one of the various public places decreased significantly from 71. 9% to 54. 4% (p< 0. 001), albeit significantly only between 2010 and 2016. Compared to smokers exposed to others' smoking, those not exposed were more likely to report planning to quit (OR=1. 73; 95%CI=1. 07- 2. 79). However, after controlling for the number of cigarettes smoked daily, exposure to others' smoking in public was no longer significant, thus suggesting that the decreasing number of cigarettes smoked daily was the mediator of the effect of restricting public smoking.

tid/83929 16:30-18:00 RF-1234-4 Article 14 of WHO FCTC: gaps in implementation & recommendations Information regarding tobacco cessation support among the WHO-FCTC member parties was obtained from the MPower 2017 database and from surveys like Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), the Global Health Professions Student Survey and Global School Personnel Survey. In addition, meta-analysis of the results of the globally available randomized trials and cohort studies on smokeless tobacco (SLT) cessation interventions was performed, to determine the efficacy of the same. Tobacco cessation support and surveillance need to be strengthened especially in the low resource and high SLT burden countries. Sensitization and training on cessation to professional group is the critical issue. Effective SLT prevention & cessation programs must be encouraged at school level itself.
This study was aimed at identification of the degree of collaboration between scientists involved in SLT research and the areas receiving thrust of scientific interest so far.

Data obtained from the 2007 (n=2907), 2011 (n=3004) and 2016 (n=3063) surveys were merged and the resultant dataset was used in the analysis. All statistical test took account of the complex sample design used in the SASAS. Results: Exclusive smoking was estimated at 20. 3% (95%CI=18. 1-22. 5) in 2007, 18. 8% (95%CI=16. 8-21. 0) in 2011, increased to 19. 3% (95%CI=17. 1-21. 6) in 2016. Similarly, exclusive snuff use reduced from 4. 5% (95%CI=3. 4-6. 0) in 2007, 1. 7% (95%CI=1. 2-2. 3) in 2011, but then increased significantly to 3. 2% (95%CI=2. 4-4. 2) in 2016. Dual use during 2007, 2011 and 2016 were 0. 5%, 0. 5% and 0. 8% respectively. Unlike smoking, Snuff use was highest among females (6%), black Africans (4. 5%), rural residents (5. 1%) and those with < Grade 12 education (5. 6%). Among smokers, current snuff use was not associated with significantly greater odds of a quit attempt in the past 12 months (OR=2.

This paper presents a FEM-BEM coupling method suitable for the numerical simulation of the electromagnetic scattering of objects composed of dielectric materials and perfect electric conductors. The originality of the approach lies in part in the use of the newly proposed Sparse Cardinal Sine Decomposition (SCSD) method for the BEM part of the computation and the fact that the simulation software is almost entirely written in Matlab. The performance of the method is illustrated by the computation of the electromagnetic scattering by an UAV-like object with two RAM regions proposed in the workshop ISAE EM 2016. Résumé. Cet article présente une méthode de couplage de type FEM-BEM adaptée à la simulation numérique des problèmes de diffraction électromagnétique d'objets composés de parties parfaitement conductrices et de matériaux diélectriques.
L'originalié de l'approche réside, d'une part, dans l'utilisation de la nouvelle méthode décomposition creuse en sinus cardinal (SCSD) pour la partie BEM et, d'autre part, dans le fait que le programme de calcul est presqu'entièrement écrit en Matlab. La performance de la méthode est illustrée par le calcul de la diffraction électromagnétique d'un objet en forme d'UAV contenant deux régions absorbantes tel qu'il a été proposé au workshop ISAE EM 2016.
