Methods Medical data were (including lifestyle indicators, categorized medication use, ICD9-CM encoded sickness absences and health complaints), collected during 1.100.000 medical examinations between 2010 and 2014, were extracted, transformed and loaded into the data warehouse. After validation and quality control, we carried out logistic regression to compare proportions between sectors (NACE...

In general terms key sectors analysis aims at identifying the role, or impact, that the existence of a productive sector has in the economy. Quite a few measures, indicators and methodologies of varied complexity have been proposed in the literature, from multiplier sums to extraction methods, but not without debate about their properties and their information content.

Hippocrates wrote about the relationship between environmental conditions and health status in Airs, waters and places in about 460 BC, where he identified environmental factors affecting human health that “doctors must know to pursue their calling”. Working across different sectors in public health is therefore not a new idea. The routes through which people are exposed to environmental hazard...

Signatures of extended gauge models at high energy ee linear colliders are summarized. The phenomenology of models with extended gauge symmetries is particularly rich. The existence of new gauge bosons is one of the hallmarks of extended electroweak theories and their discovery would be a definitive signal for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). However, extra gauge bosons are not the sole ...

this research presents a mathematical model for oil and gas optimal allocation to different sectors in iran using operations research techniques. sectors are residential and commercial, transportation, industries, agriculture, exports, injection to oil reservoirs and power plans as a secondary energy producer. optimal allocation of energy resources to end-uses from 2011 to 2021 has been done us...

abstract- according to article 44 of the i.r. of iran constitution, the iranian economy consists of three sectors; the state, the cooperative, and the private sectors. the aim of this study was to present a hierarchy of criteria for selecting the best economic sector for agricultural development. analytic hierarchy process (ahp) was used to calculate the relative importance of either criteria o...

We examine the allocation of hours of work across industrial sectors in OECD countries. We find large disparities across three sector groups, one that produces goods without home substitutes,and two others that have home substitutes but treated differently by welfare policy. We attribute the disparities to the countries’ tax and subsidy policies. High taxation substantially reduces hours in sec...

The dairy and meat processing sectors are significant contributors to the Australian economy. It generates employment and export earnings. For example, processed dairy and meat products accounted for 35 per cent of total food exports in 2000. Hence, the growth of the dairy and meat processing sectors is an important issue for Australia. The dairy and meat processing sectors grew annually by 1.4...
