Abstract

Background
Long-term survival rates for patients with stage III–IV Hodgkin lymphoma, or advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (aHL), have increased substantially since the 1960s. Because large-scale research of aHL is rare, we aimed to demonstrate the differences in incidence and survival of aHL according to four patient variables in recent decades, with a focus on the outcomes of treatment of aHL and the advancement of public health care.

Materials and Methods
Data on aHL cases diagnosed during 1984–2013 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database. Relative survival, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify prognosis indicators for aHL.

Results
The incidence rates for aHL were 1.1, 0.8, and 1.0 per 100,000 in the first, second, and third decades, respectively, during 1984–2013. The 120-month relative survival rate improved continuously in each decade from 58.5% to 64.6% to 72.1%. In addition, disparities in the 120-month relative survival rate between male and female patients and among patients of different races narrowed over time. The difference in long-term survival rate between the poor (medium and high poverty) and rich (low poverty) groups narrowed across the 3 decades.

Conclusion
The long-term survival rate for patients with aHL increased in each decade, whereas survival rate disparities according to sex, race, and socioeconomic status narrowed, except for older patients aged &gt;60 years and the high-poverty group.

Implications for Practice
Long-term survival rates of patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma were elaborated in this article. The disparities according to sex, race, and socioeconomic status of survival condition were analyzed and showed the development of the public health care system and modern medicine technology.

El desarrollo de los factores emocionales en el contexto deportivo cobra una especial relevancia en la actualidad, equiparándolo al entrenamiento de factores físicos, técnicos y tácticos, debido a que los factores emocionales se encuentran íntimamente relacionados con el rendimiento deportivo. Por estos motivos, y dada la importancia de los factores emocionales en el contexto deportivo, la presente investigación plantea como objetivo principal analizar los niveles de inteligencia emocional de una muestra de deportistas de diferentes modalidades deportivas en función de la edad y el sexo, en una muestra compuesta por un total de 372 deportistas de edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 50 años, evaluados mediante el cuestionario de Inteligencia Emocional (SSRI) y una hoja de auto registro que midió las variables sexo, edad y modalidad deportiva practicada. Los resultados indican que los deportistas analizados muestran valores elevados en la inteligencia emocional y sus cuatro dimensiones, siendo la más valorada, la gestión auto-emocional, y la menos valorada, la utilización emocional; no se encontró asociación entre la inteligencia emocional y el sexo de los deportistas. La inteligencia emocional se relaciona de forma directa y positiva con la edad de los sujetos, y los deportistas de la modalidad colectiva con contacto son los que mejor gestionan sus emociones.

The Role Of Cash Holdings, Working Capital, Dividend Payout On Capital Investment
Authors: Chan Andrew 
Published: May 2018

An objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between firms' capital investment spending, cash holdings, and working capital in an expanding Asian financial market. A sample of publicly traded manufacturing firms on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was examined during the period 2005-2014. The empirical results provide strong and statistically significant evidence on the effect of cash flow on investment. Working capital also exhibits significant relationship with capital investment spending, though the relationship is not as strong and significant as that with cash flow and cash holding. Firms with low dividend payout policy over the sample period depended heavily on cash flow, changes in cash flow and, to a lesser extent, on working capital to finance spending on fixed plant and equipment. These results suggest that the effect of capital investment spending financed by internal cash flow on firm value may depend on a firm's dividend payout.
The Influence Of Firm’s Fair Value System On Earnings Quality Under IFRS

This paper analyzes the influence of firms’ fair value system on earnings quality under IFRS. Korean firms are required to adopt IFRS in 2011. IFRS adoption was expected to increase value relevance of book value of equity and benefit information users’ decision making. However, prior Korean studies report that value relevance of book value of equity is indifferent between under K-GAAP and IFRS. We consider that the indifference in value relevance of book value of equity after IFRS adoption is due to different level of fair value system among firms. We investigate whether the different level of fair value system among firms lead to the difference in earnings quality. Furthermore, we examine how each firm’s fair value system affect earnings quality under IFRS.
This study finds following results. First, firms with weak fair value system smooth income more frequently. Second, firms with weak fair value system experience small amount of positive profit and slight increase in net income compared to prior period more frequently. Third, firms with weak fair value system make less timely loss recognition. Lastly, book value of equity and goodwill has low relative value relevance for weak fair value systemic firms, while both book value of equity and goodwill have incremental value relevance for firms with strong fair value evaluation system.
Inferring The Cost Of Equity: Does The CAPM Consistently Outperform The Income And Multiples Valuation Models?
Authors: Moyo Vusani , Mache Fidelis 
Published: May 2018

A number of surveys reveal that a large number of analysts, valuation experts, investors, chief financial officers and finance academics employ the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) of Sharpe (1962) and Lintner (1965) to estimate the cost of equity. There are, however, a number of alternative valuation models that can be used to infer the cost of equity. These alternative equity valuation models include the constant growth dividend discount, the earnings and book market multiples, the residual income and the Ohlson and Juettner-Nauroth (2005) abnormal earnings growth (AEG) models. Using four mature retail firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, this paper tested for the equivalence of these models to the CAPM in estimating the cost of equity. The study found that the variants of the constant growth dividend discount and the AEG models give similar estimates which are closer to those of the CAPM. The variants of the price-to-earnings market multiples, price-to-book market multiples, and residual income models all yield estimates that are higher than those of the CAPM. Finally, the estimates seem to be affected by the stability of the firm’s earnings and financial position.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
Water policies have been implemented worldwide to face water stress. However, the existence of water users' groups with opposite interests and different political power results in the plain failure or low effectiveness of water policy reforms. A better understanding of users' perceptions regarding policy outcomes is important to avoid the failure of water policies and the intensification of water conflicts. This paper empirically examines the divergent perception of interest groups on the implementation of different policies dealing with water scarcity and their proactive involvement with water agencies. We have conducted a survey in the Jucar River Basin (a water-stressed basin in southeastern Spain) to analyze interest group opinions regarding water policy effectiveness and water institutions' performance in water management. Questionnaires were sent to the main irrigation districts and urban water utilities within the basin. The collected information gives a general picture of the behavior of opposite water interest groups in this basin. The analysis of the perceptions on water policy reform between the groups highlights the existence of significant differences between preferred measures to address water scarcity and lobbying capacity. These differences depend on the size of the group, the specific basin location, and other group characteristics.
Pharmacokinetics and Tissue Distribution Study of Ferruginol in Wistar Rat by High-performance Liquid Chromatography
Authors: Cao Guiyun , Han Suqiao , Li Keke , Shen Li , Wang Xiaohong , Zhang Youbo 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Ferruginol (FRGN) exhibits a broad range of pharmacological properties
which make it a promising candidate for chemoprevention. However, little is known about its absorption,
distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties.

Methods:
A rapid, sensitive and specific HPLC-DAD method was established to quantify FRGN in the
plasma and tissues of Wistar rats. After extraction of FRGN with ethyl acetate (EtOAc), chromatographic
separation was performed on a YMC ODS C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm I.D., 5 µm) with a mobile
phase consisting of methanol-water (92:8, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. Detection was conducted
with a wavelength of 273 nm at 25 °C.

Results:

The calibration curves for FRGN were linear in the concentration range of 0.5-20 µg/mL for
plasma, 0.5-10 µg/mL for heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, stomach, intestine, brain and muscle. After
three cycles of freezing and thawing, the concentration variations were within ± 7% of nominal concentrations,
indicating no significant substance loss during repeated thawing and freezing. The assay was
applied to pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution study in rats. Results suggested that lung, heart, liver,
spleen and kidney were the major distribution tissues of FRGN in rats, and FRGN could permeate the
blood-brain barrier to distribute in the brain of rats.

Conclusion:
The information provided by this research is very useful for gaining knowledge of the
pharmacokinetic process and tissue distribution of FRGN.
