Exploring Portfolio Diversification Opportunities Through Venture Capital Financing: Evidence from MGARCH-DCC,Markov Switching,and Wavelet Approaches

Islamic financial institutions are being pressurized by critics to offer profit and loss sharing (PLS) financing, such as venture capital (VC) financing, for the purpose of entrepreneurial development aligned to the principle of equity risk sharing. Our study aims to link PLS investments with portfolio optimization opportunities for the Islamic asset managers. Using portfolio analysis with dynamic conditional correlation, Markov switching, and maximal overlap discrete wavelet transformation, our findings tend to indicate that there is indeed a portfolio optimization opportunity in investment universe for the fund managers who invested in PLS investments in the context of VC asset class over the long run.

两岸三地服务业国际竞争力比较分析

国际上常用的服务业国际竞争力主要评价指标包括MS(国际市场占有率)、TC(净出口指数)、RCA(显示性比较优势指数)和CA(显示性竞争优势指数)。文章根据联合国贸发会议的基础数据,分别计算、比较了两岸三地服务业的MS、TC、RCA和CA四类指数,并且分行业计算了两岸三地的RCA指数,进而分析了两岸三地服务业各自存在的问题。结论认为:从四类指数的计算结果看,香港在两岸三地中国际竞争力最强;内地服务业尤其是生产性服务业相对比较落后。文章最后探讨了两岸三地服务业的未来合作前景。     

酶联免疫法与液相色谱-串联质谱法测定水产中氯霉素残留

运用酶联免疫法和液相色谱-串联质谱法测定水产中的氯霉素残留。结果显示,ELISA法最低检测限为0.0125μg/kg,鱼、虾、贝类样本的添加回收率为80.4%-101.3%,变异系数为5.7%-11.5%;LC-MS/MS法最低检测限为0.1μg/kg,样本添加回收率为82.7%-98.2%,变异系数为6.2%-9.7%。用酶联免疫法对实际样品进行检测,筛选出5个阳性样本,经液相色谱-串联质谱法确证亦为阳性,且测定结果一致。研究表明,酶联免疫法快速、灵敏、可靠,为水产品中氯霉素的残留检测提供了快速筛选方法,而液相色谱-串联质谱法准确度高,适用于阳性样本的确证和精确定量。     

顶空-气相色谱法与吹扫捕集-气质联用法测定水中乙醛、丙烯醛、丙烯腈、吡啶的方法比较

为了进一步提高实验室测定水中乙醛、丙烯醛、丙烯腈、吡啶含量的效率和准确度,对顶空-气相色谱法与吹扫捕集-气质联用法测定水中乙醛、丙烯醛、丙烯腈、吡啶的检出限、精密度、回收率等进行了比较。顶空-气相色谱法的精密度范围在1.4%~3.8%之间,回收率范围在93.2%~101.0%之间。吹扫捕集-气质联用法的精密度范围在1.7%~3.2%之间,回收率范围在92.3%~99.8%之间。2种方法的线性良好,吹扫捕集-气质联用法具有较低的检出限。结果表明,这2种方法均能准确地定量水中乙醛、丙烯醛、丙烯腈、吡啶的含量;吹扫捕集-气质联用法的灵敏性更高,适用于低浓度样品的监测;顶空-气相色谱法适用于高浓度或较脏样品的监测。

Using observational analysis of multiple sclerosis relapse to design outcomes-based contracts for disease-modifying drugs: a feasibility assessment

Abstract

Objective:

To assess predictors and costs of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse, a potential outcome measure in payer-manufacturer risk-sharing agreements for disease-modifying drugs (DMDs).

Methods:

A retrospective cohort analysis of medical/pharmacy claims was used. Study patients had ≥1 DMD (interferon beta, glatiramer, natalizumab) claim, without DMD claims in a 6-month pre-period before DMD initiation; were aged 18–64 years and continuously enrolled from the pre-period through a 24-month post-period; and had ≥2 MS medical claims during the 30-month study period. Post-period relapse cohorts included: (1) severe (hospitalization with MS diagnosis); (2) moderate (outpatient services including intravenous methylprednisolone); and (3) none. Poisson regression modeled severe relapse frequency, logistic regression modeled ≥1 severe relapse, and generalized linear modeling predicted healthcare costs. Tested predictors included demographics, insurance type, index DMD, pre-period health status, and DMD medication possession ratio (MPR).

Results:

Severe relapse was experienced by 14.5% and moderate relapse by 13.8% of 2291 patients. In logistic regression, severe relapse was predicted by plan type; age (odds ratio [OR]?=?1.018, 95% confidence interval [CI]?=?1.005–1.031); pre-period Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR?=?1.307, 95% CI?=?1.166–1.464); pre-period proxy measure indicating impaired activities of daily living (OR?=?1.470, 95% CI?=?1.134–1.905); pre-period MS hospitalization (OR?=?2.174, 95% CI?=?1.537–3.074); and DMD non-adherence (MPR OR?=?0.101, 95% CI?=?0.068–0.151). Poisson regression results were similar. Predicted mean [standard deviation] all-cause healthcare expenditures were tripled for patients with severe compared with moderate relapse ($48,173 [$8665] and $13,334 [$1929], respectively).

Limitations:

Commercially insured patients from a single payer; use may have been inconsistent with approved indications; proxy relapse measure may have misclassified patients.

Conclusions:

Severe MS relapses requiring hospitalization, although affecting less than 15% of patients initiating DMD treatment, are associated with high medical costs. The only actionable predictor of severe relapse identified in observational analysis was MPR, raising questions about the feasibility of using observational data to guide outcomes-based contracting.
