An Empirical Study on Investment Bank Prestige and IPO Underpricing under Approval System

In this paper, we study 169 IPO samples after Approval System is brought into effect. On the basis that we compare the degree of IPO underpricing in different underwriters and the underpricing condition between prestigious and non-prestigious underwriters, we go further to make regression analysis of the underwriter prestige and IPO underpricing which they underwrite. Finally we conclude that the offering price marketalization is still very low and the underwriter prestige does system is put into effect. not significantly impact on IPO underpricing after approval

Investigation on the Benefits and Satisfaction Degree of the Electronic Official Document On-line Submission and Approval System-A Case Study of a Medical Center in Southern Taiwan

Purpose:The aim of the study was to investigate the actual benefits of the electronic official document online submission and approval system and the satisfaction of hospital staff in a medical center in southern Taiwan,and to find out whether there are any differences between medical institutions and general government personnel.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate satisfactory outcome with questionnaires.The subjects were administrators,healthcare professionals and medical personnel of a medical center in the southern part of Taiwan who had signed electronic documents online.A total of 395 questionnaires were sent out,147 of which were valid,and the rate of collecting data survey was 37%.We analyzed with SPSS version 20.Results:The official document approval system was mainly used by administrative units and contractors,accounting for more than 50%of users.Besides,the frequency of use was at least more than once a week.As for the user’s perception of operating system,most people thought that it is easier to choose the format of official document and to set up the duty agent on leave,but in the part of the signing and approval process setting or modifying,it was considered more difficult,accounting for 38.1%.In terms of perceptual usefulness,the average value was 3.81,which showed that the user agreed that the system has met the needs of daily official documents.When some users of service area encountered problems with their use,the clerical staff were able to provide services immediately and have the professional ability to resolve problems,in order to agree to the majority,accounting for 53.7%.In addition,nearly 60%of users rated the official document system positively,with an average of 3.84 satisfaction,which was higher than the certified value of 3,conforming to the standards for satisfaction with the use of official documents.In addition,the role authorization,perceptual easy-to-use and service area were significant(p<0.05).The perceptual usefulness of Subordinate units was also significant(p=0.016).The frequency of use,perceptual easy-to-use,perceptual usefulness,service area and satisfaction were significantly different(p<0.05).The correlation coefficient between perceptual usefulness and user satisfaction was 0.833,indicating that there was a high correlation.The daily usage frequency of contractors was higher than supervisors.However,supervisors had the highest frequency of use every quarter(p=0.135).There was no significant difference between contractors and supervisors in the frequency of use.Conclusion:It is suggested that education and training on the operation of the electronic official document on-line submission and approval system should be conducted,which can enhance the education and training of supervisors and medical personnel.Continually,invite supervisors and medical personnel to provide advices on the official document system as a reference for future improvements of the system.

Insights from an academic endeavor into central nervous system drug discovery

Historically,"big pharma"did most central nervous system drug discovery R&D in-house.Yet,in modern times their"management reductionism"resulted in disappointing pipelines and pharma resided to(late)development,regulatory approval,and marketing(Thong,2015).This had significant consequences for financing and executing research,resulting in a larger role for funding by governments and patient-organizations and a shift of research to academia(Mazzucato,2013).

Hybrid 1DCNN-Attention with Enhanced Data Preprocessing for Loan Approval Prediction

In order to reduce the risk of non-performing loans, losses, and improve the loan approval efficiency, it is necessary to establish an intelligent loan risk and approval prediction system. A hybrid deep learning model with 1DCNN-attention network and the enhanced preprocessing techniques is proposed for loan approval prediction. Our proposed model consists of the enhanced data preprocessing and stacking of multiple hybrid modules. Initially, the enhanced data preprocessing techniques using a combination of methods such as standardization, SMOTE oversampling, feature construction, recursive feature elimination (RFE), information value (IV) and principal component analysis (PCA), which not only eliminates the effects of data jitter and non-equilibrium, but also removes redundant features while improving the representation of features. Subsequently, a hybrid module that combines a 1DCNN with an attention mechanism is proposed to extract local and global spatio-temporal features. Finally, the comprehensive experiments conducted validate that the proposed model surpasses state-of-the-art baseline models across various performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC. Our proposed model helps to automate the loan approval process and provides scientific guidance to financial institutions for loan risk control.

Outline of the Establishment of Automotive Regulation and Type Approval System in China

For carrying out the Industrial Policy of the Motor Industry, competent authorities concerned are working intensely in the transition from mandatory standards to technical regulations, which includes the formulation of auto products (including motorcycles) according to the technical regulations, any products without type approval shall not be permitred to sell, import and use. To expedite the

Testing and Approval Procedures for New Slab Track Systems in Europe

This paper describes the required testing and approval procedures of new track systems operated in Europe. To begin with, test methods and performance specifications according to European Standard （EN） are outlined. These include the repeated loading test, the determination of the static and dynamic stiffness of rail pads, clamping force and longitudinal rail resistance. The fact that labor tests are unable to simulate all the conditions in situ shows that these labor tests are not sufficient for the evaluation of the long term behaviour of a new track system： a test track of sufficient length must be constructed and exposed to traffic loads. In Europe to be accredited as a new system, a new slab track system must have a trial time of more than two years, during which the features of the whole system can be recognized. In the second part of this paper, the experience of the Institute of Road, Railway and Airfield Construction of TUM concerning the measuring methods of slab track systems carrying traffic are outlined. Also the approval procedure of the new slab tracks in Germany is discussed.

Single-arm trials for domestic oncology drug approvals in China

The urgent need for effective cancer treatments,particularly for advanced and relapsed cases in which standard therapies are inadequate,has spurred the development of innovative therapeutic drugs1,2.Among the strategies to expedite drug development,the use of single-arm trials(SATs)is emerging as a promising avenue with substantial potential to shorten drug approval timelines and accelerate market entry.

Research and Enlightenment of Accelerated Approval Pathway in China

Objective To provide suggestions to improve the system of accelerated review and approval in China and to speed up the development and marketing of innovative drugs.Methods A comparative analysis was made to study the accelerated review,conditional approval and breakthrough therapy between China and the United States.Combined with the implementation of accelerated pathway in China,some suggestions were put forward.Results and Conclusion The implementation of accelerated drug review and approval system can significantly speed up the process of new drug development,which will improve the accessibility of innovative drugs.However,there are some problems in the review procedures and the implementation of supportive documents in China.In view of the above problems and combined with the experiences of US FDA,we should strengthen the construction of institutional system and reviewer team,and improve the efficiency of drug research and development.
