He discovered that the firm’s fundamental factors exercise the most significant impact on stock prices. The EPS was found to be the most influencing factor over the market.

In the last 10 years, many advances have been made in the statistical modelling of time series data on air pollution and health. Standard regression methods used initially have been almost fully replaced by semi-parametric approaches (Speckman, 1988; Hastie and Tibshirani, 1990; Green and Silverman, 1994) such as Generalized linear models (GLM) with regression splines (McCullagh and Nelder, 1989), Generalized additive models (GAM) with non-parametric splines (Hastie and Tibshirani, 1990) and GAM with penalized splines (Marx and Eilers, 1998).

Managed care plans' growing interest in practice guidelines is driven by their need to control costs, ensure consistency of care, and demonstrate improved performance. By using practice guidelines, plans are making a conscious decision about the care they intend to provide, reflecting the trade-off between costs and benefits. When published guidelines differ from a plan's clinical and financial objectives, they are typically customized with the active participation of the network physicians.

Surrogacy is an agreement in which a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child for someone else. Surrogacy can be paid or unpaid, and often involves a legal contract in which the surrogate gives up parental rights to the child she births. If the surrogate’s own eggs are used through alternative insemination or IVF, she is known as the “genetic surrogate.” If embryos are created using another woman’s eggs and implanted in the surrogate, she is known as the “gestational surrogate” and has no genetic tie to the child. Hiring a surrogate in the US can...

Both are formative structures, mechanisms not meaning. In themselves they have no signification, they have to be attached to an idealisation. Both pursue aims in indifference to perceptual reality, creating the imagised, eroticised concept of the world that forms the perception of the subject and makes a mockery of empirical objectivity. During its history, the cinema seems to have evolved a particularillusion of reality in which this contradiction between libido and ego has found a beautifully complementary phantasy world.

Access to basic services in the community is also likely to influence the health of elders. For instance, having an accessible health care provider will enable elderly persons to obtain needed medical attention more easily (IOM, 2002).

Proper nutrition is known to contribute to better health in the elderly (IOM, 2000).
