Making the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice: Examining the Food Environments Surrounding South Carolina’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)

Purpose To understand the distribution of healthy and unhealthy food stores and restaurants around historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in South Carolina. Design DatabaseUSA and ArcGIS Pro were used to identify, classify, and map food stores and restaurants near each HBCU. Setting The study area included a 3-mile buffer radius around the eight South Carolina HBCUs. Subjects A total of 654 food stores and restaurants were identified within a 3-mile radius of the HBCUs. Measures Demographic data for each HBCU was collected from the National Center for Education Statistics. The food stores and restaurants were identified using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and descriptions, and they were classified using previous research methodologies. Results Based on the analysis, 19 (2.9%), 237 (36.2%), and 398 locations (60.9%) were classified as healthy, intermediate, and unhealthy, respectively. Within a 0.5-mile radius of the HBCUs, there were no retail food stores classified as healthy, followed by 14 (2.1%) and 23 (3.5%) retail food stores and restaurants that were classified as intermediate and unhealthy, respectively. Conclusions This study shows that most food options around South Carolina HBCUs are unhealthy and that few places are available to purchase healthy food. Eating well will be difficult in the current food environment. Increasing healthy options should be part of a comprehensive approach to promoting good nutrition.

Prevalence of problem drinking in the Swedish workforce: differences between labour market industries based on gender composition and main job activity

BackgroundIdentifying problem drinking patterns across industries is essential for addressing drinking problems in the workforce. Still, it is not well understood how problem drinking differs across industries and whether it is associated with industry gender composition. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of problem drinking (PPD) across Swedish industries and investigate possible associations between gender-typed industries and problem drinking.Methods9,155 current workers were selected from the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH) data collected in 2020. Participants’ work industries were identified through the Swedish Standard Industrial Classification (SNI) codes. Seven gender-typed industry categories were created based on gender composition and main job activity in each industry. Self-reported problem drinking was measured using a slightly modified Cut-down, Annoyed, Guilt, Eye-opener (CAGE) questionnaire and a cut-off score 2 was used to determine problem drinking. Poisson regression with robust standard errors was used to investigate the association between gender-typed industries and problem drinking.ResultsPPD in the workforce was 6.6%. Men (8.5%) had a higher prevalence than women (5.3%). Across industries, PPD varied from 2.3% in Water supply and waste management to 15.4% in Mining and quarrying. The highest prevalence for men was in Mining and quarrying (18.2%), whereas for women it was in Construction (11.1%). Within gender-typed industries, the highest PPD was in male-dominated Goods and Energy Production (7.7%), and the lowest was in female-dominated Health and Social Care (4.7%). In the regression analysis, both Education (aPR: 1.39, p = 0.03) and Labour-intensive Services (aPR: 1.39, p = 0.02) had higher adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) compared with Health and Social Care. However, there was no significant difference in aPR among gender-typed industries when considering the gender composition of industries only.ConclusionsPPD in the Swedish workforce varied significantly across industries, with differences observed between men and women. Problem drinking differed between industries when categorized by gender composition and main job activity, but not when categorized by gender composition only. Future research should investigate how industry-specific psychosocial factors influence individual alcohol consumption.

Estimated prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea by occupation and industry in England: a descriptive study.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can induce excessive sleepiness, causing work-related injuries and low productivity. Most individuals with OSA in the United Kingdom are undiagnosed, and thus, theoretically, workplace screening, might by identifying these individuals improve both their individual health and overall productivity. However, the prevalence of OSA in different workplaces is unclear. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of OSA by industries and occupations in England. The Health Survey for England 2019 dataset was combined with Sleep Heart Health Study dataset. We applied multiple imputation for the combined dataset to estimate OSA in the English population aged 40-64. We estimated the pooled prevalence of OSA by both industry and occupation by separating samples by Standard Industry Classification and Standard Occupation Classification. The overall OSA prevalence estimated by imputation for ages 40-64 was 17.8% (95% CI=15.9% to 19.9%). Separating those samples into industrial/occupational groups, the estimated prevalence of OSA varied widely by industry/occupation. Descriptive analysis revealed that the estimated prevalence of OSA was relatively higher in the Accommodation and food, Public administration and defence; compulsory social security, Construction industries, and Protective service occupations, health and social care associate professionals, and skilled construction and building trades occupations. In England in 2019, Accommodation and food, Public administration and defence; compulsory social security, Construction industries, and Protective service occupations, health and social care associate professionals, and skilled construction and building trades occupations showed a relatively higher prevalence of OSA indicating that they may be target populations for workplace screening.

How Do LCA Studies Support CE? A Systematic Case Study Review

This study explores the integration of Circular Economy (CE) principles within the framework of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a foundational methodology in industrial ecology aimed at enhancing product sustainability. With CE offering a roadmap towards ecological sustainability within economic systems, the research examines the extent to which conventional LCA studies align with CE principles across diverse industries classified by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). Analyzing 282 LCA studies, the investigation identifies a limited incorporation of CE concepts. Most studies inadequately address CE in their goal and scope, lack CE-specific data in inventories, predominantly focus on basic recycling strategies, overlook CE-specific indicators, neglect CE considerations in sensitivity analyses, and omit CE-related recommendations in conclusions. These findings underscore the necessity for a more robust integration of CE principles within LCA methodologies, emphasizing CE measures as pivotal drivers for enhancing product environmental performance across industries.

Assessing the Impact of Dental Implant Length on Early Failure Rates: A Retrospective Analysis.

The selection criteria of implant is very critical. Implant length determines the mechanics of osseointegration. To investigate the influence of dental implant length on early failure rates, osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient-reported outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 124 participants who underwent dental implant placement. Implant lengths were categorized as short (n = 54), standard (n = 35), or long (n = 35) based on standard industry classifications. Baseline characteristics, implant lengths, and early failure rates within the first six months post-implantation were extracted from clinical records. Preliminary analysis revealed variations in early failure rates among different implant length categories. Short implants demonstrated a distinct pattern of complications compared to standard and long implants. Early failure rates were 8% for short implants, 4% for standard implants, and 2% for long implants (P = 0.04). Osseointegration success rates were 90%, 95%, and 98% for short, standard, and long implants, respectively. Peri-implant bone loss was 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 0.8 mm for short, standard, and long implants, respectively (P = 0.02). Patient-reported outcomes indicated higher satisfaction levels in the long implant group (P = 0.03). The study highlights the importance of considering implant length in clinical decision-making and suggests potential associations with osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient satisfaction.

DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES AND PERFORMANCE OF FAMILY BUSINESSES IN EMERGING ECONOMIES

Dynamic capabilities analyze the sources and methods of better performance and wealth creation and capture by firms operating in environments of rapid technological changes. Based on this, The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between absorptive, adaptive, and innovation capabilities on financial and non-financial performance of family businesses was analyzed in the context of emerging economies, a relationship that has not been analyzed in this context. Through the application of structural equation modeling in a sample of 235 family businesses of agricultural supplies and machinery, located in the G46 and G47 categories of the International Standard Industrial Classification – ISIC, the results allowed us to identify that absorptive capability has a positive influence on financial performance, while innovation capability has a positive influence on no-financial performance. No evidence was found that other capabilities were related to the performance of the organizations analyzed. In addition, it was shown that the size of the companies does not generate any moderating effect in the relationship between these variables. This study contributes to dynamic capabilities theory by exploring how absorptive and innovative capabilities influence financial and non-financial performance in a specific and underexplored context: family businesses in emerging economies. Furthermore, the importance of developing and enhancing absorptive and innovation capabilities is highlighted. This could lead to the implementation of training programs, investment in R&D, and adoption of knowledge management practices.

Structuring the Decision-Making Process Using Quantitative Options Valuation

This study focuses on enhancing decision-making processes in the construction industry by investigating quantitative decision-making models. The construction industry is known for its diverse projects and inherent risks. Effective decision-making is crucial for project success, but it faces challenges due to various factors. The research explores biases and heuristics in decision-making, specifically in entrepreneurial and managerial contexts, with a focus on two biases: overconfidence and representativeness. Data collection involved surveys administered to entrepreneurs and managers in prominent industrial sectors. The surveys measured the levels of overconfidence and representativeness in decision-making. Additionally, the study examined commonly used decision-making models in construction, including multi-criteria decision analysis, decision support systems, decision trees, and mathematical optimization techniques. The objective was to gain insights into applying quantitative models and improve the understanding of decision-making processes in construction projects. The survey achieved a response rate of 54%, and participating managers were categorized based on their two-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, specifically in the 1300, 3400, 3500, 3600, and 3800 categories. Rigorous statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate potential response bias. Comparing usable responses to non-respondents using chi-square tests, no significant evidence of bias was found (χ^2 (4) = 3.973, p = .59). Moreover, a further analysis explored potential response bias across the broader set of five two-digit SIC categories, and again, no significant evidence of bias was observed (χ^2 (5) = 1.782, p = .878). The findings of this study contribute to the improvement of decision-making in construction projects and provide valuable insights into the practical application of quantitative models. By addressing biases and exploring effective decision-making approaches, this research aims to enhance project success within the complex construction industry.

Efficiency of labor allocation: An observation in Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)

This study aims to analyze the efficiency and elasticity of the large and medium manufacturing industry sector in Indonesia from 2012 to 2020. The analysis focuses on the 24 subsectors within the 2-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) principal groups 10 to 33. The efficiency level of the manufacturing industry sector was analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function model with linear logarithmic transformation. During the period 2012–2020, the production efficiency of the 24 ISIC 2-digit subsectors increased by an average of 445%, or 4 times higher than before. The ISIC 2-digit subsector (24 subsectors) had output elasticity values smaller than one (EL < 1) or inelastic 45 times. This indicates that the marginal value added of labor was lower than the average value added of labor. Therefore, the additional allocation of labor in large and medium industries tends to reduce the average value added of labor. The computer industry, electronic and optical goods computer, electronic and optical goods had the highest efficiency index in order, according to the data. This can be achieved by focusing on industries such as ISIC 17 (paper and paper goods industry), ISIC 31 (furniture industry), and ISIC 29 (motor vehicle, trailer and semi-trailer industry). To improve the efficiency of labor allocation, it is necessary to optimize the use of labor resources, increase productivity, and remain competitive in the market. To improve efficiency and elasticity, it is recommended to implement a robust workforce planning strategy that aligns labor resources with production needs. Additionally, matching the skills and abilities of the workforce with job roles is crucial. Finally, identifying tasks that can be automated using technology can also increase efficiency.

가업상속공제와 공동주택관리업 적용에 관한 연구

In order to support the stable life of the heirs and their families even after the death of the decedent, the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for deductions of a certain amount of money in consideration of the personal situation of the heirs and the material situation of the inherited property, and stipulates the family business inheritance deduction system.
 Accordingly, the Korea Housing Management Association announced that 2023. 9. Through an inquiry to the competent authority, the condominium management business was inquired whether the condominium management business is eligible for the deduction of the family business inheritance company, and the competent authority replied that the condominium management business is not a company eligible for the deduction of the family business inheritance business.
 However, it is necessary to re-examine whether the condominium management business is included in the family business inheritance deduction related to Article 15, Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act.
 First, since the Special Act on the Safety and Maintenance of Facilities defines apartment houses as buildings and classifies them as facilities, it should be interpreted to include the business facility management and business resource service businesses among the business facility management and business resource service businesses that are subject to the family business inheritance deduction according to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification for small and medium-sized enterprises eligible for family business inheritance deduction.
 Second, the same article [Annex] of the same Act defines the types of business under the provisions of individual laws and includes the housing rental management business under the “Special Act on Private Rental Housing”, but the Private Rental Housing Act applies to matters not stipulated in this Act with respect to the construction, supply and management of housing, etc., and thus applies to the “Housing Act”, “Building Act”, “Apartment Housing Management Act”, and “Housing Lease Protection Act”.
 In the same way that the housing rental management business under the Special Act on Private Rental Housing is defined as a company subject to the family business inheritance deduction under the individual law, the condominium management business under the Apartment Housing Management Act, which has the same content, should be included as a company subject to the family business inheritance deduction under the individual law.

ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCY AND ELASTICITY OF LABOR ALLOCATION IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to analyse the level of efficiency and elasticity of the large and medium manufacturing industry sector during 2012 - 2020 in the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) 2-digit level (major groups 10 to 33), consisting of 24 types of manufacturing sub-industries. In this study, the Cobb-Douglas production function model with linear logarithmic was used to analyse the manufacturing efficiency index. The results showed that: (1) during the period 2012-2020, the production efficiency of the 2-digit ISIC sub-sector (24 sub-sectors) increased on average by 445% or 4. 45 times, (2) all the output elasticity values of the 2-digit ISIC subsector (24 subsectors) were less than one (EL < 1), which showed that the marginal value added of labour was lower than the average value added of labour, so that the additional allocation of labour in large and medium-sized industries tended to reduce the average value added of labour, (3) the highest efficiency index in order were ISIC 26 (computer, electronic and optical products), ISIC 17 (paper and paperboard), ISIC 18 (electrical machinery and equipment), ISIC 19 (machinery and equipment) and ISIC 20 (machinery and equipment); ISIC 17 (paper and paper products); ISIC 31 (furniture) and ISIC 29 (motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers).

The GNAR-edge model: a network autoregressive model for networks with time-varying edge weights

Abstract In economic and financial applications, there is often the need for analysing multivariate time series, comprising of time series for a range of quantities. In some applications, such complex systems can be associated with some underlying network describing pairwise relationships among the quantities. Accounting for the underlying network structure for the analysis of this type of multivariate time series is required for assessing estimation error and can be particularly informative for forecasting. Our work is motivated by a dataset consisting of time series of industry-to-industry transactions. In this example, pairwise relationships between Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes can be represented using a network, with SIC codes as nodes and pairwise transactions between SIC codes as edges, while the observed time series of the amounts of the transactions for each pair of SIC codes can be regarded as time-varying weights on the edges. Inspired by Knight et al. (2020, J. Stat. Softw., 96, 1–36), we introduce the GNAR-edge model which allows modelling of multiple time series utilizing the network structure, assuming that each edge weight depends not only on its past values, but also on past values of its neighbouring edges, for a range of neighbourhood stages. The method is validated through simulations. Results from the implementation of the GNAR-edge model on the real industry-to-industry data show good fitting and predictive performance of the model. The predictive performance is improved when sparsifying the network using a lead–lag analysis and thresholding edges according to a lead–lag score.

Analyzing the incidence of silicosis across various industries in Taiwan: a study of occupational disease surveillance by linking national-based workers’ and medicoadministrative databases

ObjectivesThis study aimed to establish an occupational disease surveillance system by identifying high-risk industries for silicosis in Taiwan using a national database linkage approach. MethodsThe study was based on a comprehensive analysis of benefit claims from the National Labor Insurance Research Database and medical records from the National Health Insurance Research Database between 2004 and 2020, providing coverage for more than 88.5% of the workforce and 99.9% of citizens. Silicosis was defined as having received compensation for labor insurance benefits or having received a diagnosis of silicosis (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision: J62 or International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision: 502). The study used the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities for industry-specific classification. Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare the silicosis incidence and risk among each industry and identify high-risk industries for silicosis. ResultsThis study analyzed 1466 cases of silicosis between 2004 and 2020 and found that 28 industries had incidence rates of over 40 cases per 100,000 workers, indicating more than double the risk of developing silicosis. Of these industries, 14 were considered high risk (relative risk of over four times). Among these, this study identified industries rarely mentioned in the past, such as wholesale of brick, sand, cement, and products, artistic creation, landscape construction, and materials recovery. Stratification by years of work experience reveals those industries such as quarrying of stone, sand, clay, and other mining, construction of buildings, landscape construction, site preparation, foundation and structure construction, building completion and finishing, manufacture of ships, boats, and floating structures, and plumbing, heat, and air conditioning installation display higher hazard ratios for individuals with <10 years of work experience. ConclusionsThe current surveillance system has identified certain industries that are at a higher risk of developing silicosis, which could be used for future occupational epidemiological surveys and targeted preventive measures in these sectors.

Occupational characteristics and risk factors associated with endometriosis among Korean female workers.

Endometriosis is a chronic and debilitating condition that affects daily working life. Characterization of the factors associated with endometriosis in the working population can facilitate the development of prevention and intervention strategies for those at risk of endometriosis. This population-based retrospective study was conducted using the 2007-2015 National Health Insurance Service-Female Employees database. Overall, 151,386 female workers aged 15-64 years were included in the study. Participants with endometriosis were identified using the diagnosis codes in the claims data. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic, lifestyle, health, and occupational factors on endometriosis risk. Of the 151,386 participants, 4,457 were diagnosed with endometriosis. The risk of endometriosis was significantly higher in 41-60 years group (HR = 1.47 (95% CI, 1.06-2.04)) and in those with body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 kg/m2 (HR = 1.16 (95% CI, 1.05-1.27)) than 15-20 years group and those with normal BMI, respectively. According to the international standard industrial classification, occupational groups with financial and insurance activities, public administration and defence, compulsory social security, and manufacturing were at a higher risk of endometriosis. Although there was no significant association between the risk of endometriosis and type of work, the cumulative prevalence of endometriosis from 2007 to 2015 continued to rise in office workers, manual workers, and both types of workers together. The risk of endometriosis was closely linked to the occupational characteristics of female workers. This study provides a foundation for developing occupational safety and health guidelines for female workers.

Personal data protection compliance assessment: A privacy policy scoring approach and empirical evidence from Thailand's SMEs

Privacy policies, intended to provide information to individuals regarding how their personal data is processed, are often complex and challenging for users to understand. Businesses often demonstrate non-compliance with personal data protection laws, ranging from the absence of privacy policies to the existence of policies that do not adhere to legal requirements. This paper aims to (1) develop a quantitative and systematic tool for evaluating privacy policies' compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), (2) assess compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand, and (3) provide recommendations for enhancing compliance practices. To achieve this, we proposed a multi-criteria privacy policy scoring model integrated with comprehensive statistical data analyses. The privacy policy scoring model consists of ten privacy principles and 31 privacy criteria, providing a structured framework for evaluating privacy policies. During a two-year postponement period for enforcing the PDPA law, we conducted a stratified random-sampling survey of 384 SMEs to evaluate their privacy policies using the proposed scoring model. The accomplished results revealed significantly lower scores than anticipated, with the nationwide average score of SMEs reaching only 6.1909 out of 100 points. More than half of the SMEs collected personal data without announcing privacy policies, and those with privacy policies adhered to an average of only 12.15 out of 31 privacy criteria. These findings highlight the pressing need to improve compliance practices among SMEs in Thailand. The proposed methodology can be customized and applied to align with the requirements of personal data protection laws in other countries. Additionally, our findings indicate that compliance with the PDPA is influenced by the Thailand Standard Industrial Classification (TSIC) sections, suggesting the adoption of tailored approaches by policymakers to address the specific needs of different TSIC sections.

Pollution Haven Hypothesis and the Bilateral Trade Between India and China

The pollution haven hypothesis is studied from a bilateral trade perspective in this study, taking the reference of two Asian giants, namely, India and China. For this purpose, trade in pollution-intensive industries is analysed using data collected from the United Nations Comtrade dataset based on Standard Industrial Trade Classification codes for 1992–2019. The analysis helps us argue that between the two, China's demand is more pollution-intensive and India is the major supplier of pollution-intensive products. From an environmental perspective, this implies that China seems to be gaining from trade, and India is becoming a pollution haven in its trade with China.

The geography of commercial activities in business parks in Cape Town

ABSTRACT Business parks have increasingly become part of Cape Town’s industrial built environment over the last 25 years. It signifies a shift from large industrial premises to smaller units in communal industrial settings. This paper investigates the types of business activities found in the business parks using the conceptual underpinnings of location theory and industrial cluster theory. Online and fieldwork surveys of the businesses found in 49 business parks in Cape Town, South Africa, were conducted to compile a database of businesses and their activities. Each business was classified using the South African Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to establish which economic sectors are represented in the business parks. It was found that the predominant economic sectors in business parks were the wholesale and retail trade, which included the repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods and catering and accommodation, as well as the financial sector consisting of banking, insurance, real estate and business services. Manufacturing activities and commercial, social and personal services were also well represented. The findings indicate that business parks are the popular location for retail-orientated businesses and small manufacturing concerns and affirm the growing importance of the professional and business service sectors. The paper lays the groundwork for further investigation into the multi-scalar economic linkages of firms in business parks in Cape Town.

Best practices for measuring community resources across Canada: A comparison of coding classifications

AbstractSocial scientists, geographers, criminologists, and health scientists are often tasked with finding data to best capture the impact of “community context” on individual outcomes, including residential services, physical resources, and social institutions. One outlet for such data in Canada is Digital Map Technologies Inc. (DMTI) Spatial, which offers a national repository of over one million businesses and recreational points of interest. The database is generated through CanMap Streetfiles, which includes geocodes of each point's precise location. These data are available to researchers from their university data library and Esri Canada, but primarily available to private sector and government markets. That said, the goal of the current paper is to encourage researchers to access this rich yet under‐utilized data source. Each service, business, or resource in the DMTI Spatial database is assigned to a respective category using Standard Industrial Classification codes and North American Industrial Classification System codes. It is not clear, however, which is the more reliable coding criteria. We provide an overview of our review of DMTI Spatial data and take‐away suggestions for using this valuable resource for future research on meso‐level residential markers.

Cancer incidence among male construction workers in the Republic of Korea: a standardized incidence ratio analysis, 2009-2015.

Construction workers face an elevated risk for several types of cancer. Nevertheless, there is a lack of large-scale epidemiological studies examining the risk of all cancers in construction workers. This study aimed to investigate the risk of various cancers in male construction workers using the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database. We used data from the NHIS database from 2009 to 2015. Construction workers were identified using the Korean Standard Industrial Classification code. We calculated the age-standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cancer occurrence in male construction workers compared to all male workers. Compared to all male workers, the SIRs for esophageal cancer (SIR=1.24; 95% CI, 1.07-1.42) and malignant neoplasms of the liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (SIR=1.18; 95% CI, 1.13-1.24) were significantly higher in male construction workers. The SIRs for malignant neoplasms of the urinary tract (SIR=1.19; 95% CI, 1.05-1.35) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR=1.21; 95% CI, 1.02-1.43) were significantly elevated in building construction workers. The SIR for malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus, and lung (SIR=1.16; 95% CI, 1.03-1.29) was significantly higher in heavy and civil engineering workers. Male construction workers have an increased risk for esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and non-Hodgkin's cancer. Our results indicate that tailored strategies for cancer prevention should be developed for construction workers.

Disparity of Bladder Cancer Incidence Among Male Workers Across Industries: A Population Based Cohort Study From South Korea.

This study aimed to investigate the bladder cancer risk across workers' industries. This study was conducted using Korean National Health Insurance claims data. Workers were included in this study to build a retrospective cohort of the entire working population. Workers' industries were divided into 77 industries according to the Korean Standard Industry Classification division category. The standardized incidence ratio was calculated by comparing 77 industries according to the Korean Standard Industry Classification with the educational public officer. Bladder cancer risk was particularly high in the following industrial sectors: passenger land transport, except transport via railways; sea and coastal water transport; restaurants and mobile food service activities; telecommunications; and computer programming, consultancy, and related activities. Our result provides evidence regarding the disparity of bladder cancer incidence among male workers across industries.
