In 1988, the World Health Organisation (WHO) passed a resolution to raise awareness of the risks of using tobacco. It identified a specific day to do this, the 31 May (each year) and named it ‘World No Tobacco Day’. Each year, there has been a campaign to focus on particular risks, the practices of the tobacco industry and what can be done to protect people from tobacco use. On this day, it can be useful to remind ourselves about the dangers of tobacco, both for users and non-users and how we can support the fight to reduce and in time eliminate tobacco use. Although the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was agreed and published in 2005 (World Health Organisation 2005), with over 8 million people dying from preventable tobacco-related diseases each year (World Health Organisation 2022), the dangers of tobacco use remain and are familiar to health promoters and educators. Tobacco use can adversely affect the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, neuro-sensory, skeletal, gynaecological and urological body systems. Tobacco use leads to poorer outcomes in maternity care for mother and infant. The latest data from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation in the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2019 (Global Burden of Disease Viewpoint Collaborators 2020) identifies that globally, tobacco accounts (across all age ranges) for 21.4% of male deaths and 8.3% of female deaths. The report identifies that the annual rate of change (ARC) in exposure to this risk between 2010 and 2019 was reducing which was good news. However, with high but preventable mortality rates from tobacco use, it is clear that there is still much to be done. As with most health problems, disparity exists in tobacco use worldwide. Globally, there is higher mortality in lowand middle-income countries. Some regions of the world have higher use than others for example, Withers, Nguyen, and McCool (2020, p 287) identify that ‘the Asia Pacific region is home to 30% of the world’s smokers”. Nationally disparities exist too, and in the UK tobacco use reflects health inequalities in relation to economic status with the most disadvantaged communities more commonly using tobacco. The impact of tobacco use on the health of individuals and communities is understood. The impact on the economy is also considerable, as the costs of treating preventable disease and the days of productivity lost caused by tobacco use are around $1.4 trillion per year, which is about 1.8% of the world’s GDP (World Health Organisation 2022). This year, WHO is also focusing on another impact of tobacco use – its impact on the environment. WHO states that annual greenhouse gas contributions by the tobacco industry and the land used for tobacco growth each year – which could be utilised for food crops or prevent deforestation – contribute to large-scale damage to the climate (World Health Organisation 2022a) INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH PROMOTION AND EDUCATION 2022, VOL.

COVID-19 pandemic has transformed much of the medical curriculum delivery from in person to online. Given that interpersonal interaction facilitates team cohesion and professional identity formation, prolonged online learning with minimal social interaction might impact these competencies in medical education. To mitigate the impact of prolonged social isolation, we conducted synchronous team-based learning (TBL) classes, where half the class is physically present and the other is connected via an online platform, termed hybrid TBL. We present practical tips in implementing hybrid TBL for educators teaching in large-sized classes, should conditions exist where not all students can attend in person.

ABSTRACT First-year students experience various stressors in their attempt to adapt to their new academic environment, which undoubtedly require them to employ effective coping styles. This study was conducted to examine psychological capital (PsyCap) and happiness as predictors of coping among university students. Using a cross-sectional survey, data were collected using standardised questionnaires from 207 students in a public university in South Africa. Data analysed using both simple and standard multiple regression showed that optimism, hope and resilience were associated with productive coping. The study also found that pleasure and meaningful engagement were significantly related to productive coping. The findings of this study underscore the need for interventions that focus on developing constructive psychological resources that will result in the use of more constructive coping strategies when faced with stressors.

Three independent analysis methods were developed to investigate the distribution of solid mass in foams analyzed by X-ray tomography with effective pixel sizes larger than the thickness of the solid network (sub-pixel conditions). Validation of the methods was achieved by a comparison with the results obtained employing high-resolution tomography for the same set of foams. The foams showed different solid mass distribution, which varied from being preferentially located on the edges, with a fraction of mass in the struts nearing 0.6, to materials in which the fraction of mass in the struts was low, under 0.15. In all cases, the accuracy of the proposed approaches was greater for materials with a higher fraction of mass in the struts. The method based on deconvolution of the attenuation probability density function yielded the closest results to the high-resolution characterizations. In contrast, analysis of the solid matrix thickness distribution after watershed segmentation, and binarization of high thickness regions (struts segmentation) required normalization through macroscopic measurements and revealed higher deviations with respect to the high-resolution results. However, segmentation-based methods allowed investigation of the heterogeneity of the fraction of mass in the struts along the sample.
开发了三种独立的分析方法，用于研究在有效像素尺寸大于固体网络厚度（亚像素条件）的情况下，通过 X 射线断层扫描分析泡沫中固体质量的分布。通过与同一组泡沫的高分辨率断层扫描结果进行比较，验证了这些方法的有效性。这些泡沫显示出不同的固体质量分布，有的偏向于边缘，支柱的质量分数接近 0.6；有的材料支柱的质量分数较低，低于 0.15。在所有情况下，对于支杆质量分数较高的材料，所建议方法的精确度都更高。基于衰减概率密度函数解卷积的方法得出的结果与高分辨率特征最接近。相比之下，对分水岭分割后的固体基质厚度分布进行分析，以及对高厚度区域进行二值化（支柱分割），都需要通过宏观测量进行归一化，并显示出与高分辨率结果的更大偏差。不过，基于分段的方法可以沿样本调查支柱质量分数的异质性。
