The study aims to seek the internal factors that affect the profitability of banks in Pakistan from a period of 2009 to 2013 by using two proxies i.e. Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The panel data of fifteen banks have been obtained from the financial statements of the banks. Therefore, Hausman test has verified that random effect model is most appropriate model for Return on Assets (ROA), conversely fixed effect model is prominent for Return on Equity (ROE) for the current study. The empirical results confirm that investment to total assets, leverage, Net Performing Loan (NPL) to gross advances, capital ratio and total deposits to total equity are the main determinants of profitability across both proxies (i.e. ROA and ROE). Leverage and capital ratio have significantly negative, however net performing loan to gross advance and total deposit to total equity have significantly positive influence on profitability of banks across both models. Moreover, NPL to gross advance is insignificant determinant of Return on Equity. The results are worthy for bankers and all stakeholders to make strategic decision for the competitiveness of banking sector in Pakistan.

This research aims to systematically, actual, and accurately explain the facts and characteristics of the company and their effect on financial performance. Data in the form of time-series data from 2015-2019 and cross-section data collected from the financial statements of automotive companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange then obtained nine companies that meet the criteria. The independent variables are Firm Size, Leverage, Liquidity, and the dependent variable is financial performance as proxied by Return On Equity (ROA). The research used panel data techniques; Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model. The results show that Firm Size partially has a negative and significant effect, meaning that the greater the assets owned by the company, the more complex the agency problems faced. The partial leverage variable has a negative and significant effect, means that the use of relatively high debt will cause fixed costs in the form of interest expenses and loan principal installments to be paid, the greater the fixed costs. The liquidity variable partially has a positive and insignificant effect. This means that changes that occur in both the number of current assets or current liabilities affect increasing profits so that the increase in Liquidity (CR) or the level of liquidity affects changes in increasing company performance (ROA).

The paper attempts to examine the relationship between capital structure and the financial performance of Nepalese insurance companies.  Return on assets and earnings per share are the dependent variables. Independent variables are total debt ratio, equity to total assets ratio, size, liquidity and tangibility.  This paper uses descriptive as well as causal-comparative research design to examine the general structure of capital structure and financial performance and their relationship. The data were collected from annual reports of listed insurance companies in Nepal. The study is based on 84 observations from 14 insurance companies of Nepal from 2013/14 to 2018/19. The regression models are estimated to test the effect on financial performance variables i.e. return on assets and earnings per share. The result shows that insurance companies having a high debt ratio have better financial performance. An increase in debt ratio and tangibility increase return on assets and an increase in equity, size and liquidity decrease return on assets in the industry. The impact of the debt ratio and tangibility on earning per share is positive and there is the negative impact of equity, size and liquid ratio on earning per share. The major conclusion of this study is that total debt ratio, equity to total assets ratio, leverage, size, liquidity and tangibility are the significant factors in determining the financial performance of Nepalese insurance companies. The insurance companies of Nepal interested to increase financial performance can increase their total debt ratio and tangible assets and decrease equity, firm size, and liquidity ratio.

Abstract Background Glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), and carbohydrates have been shown to be associated with a variety of cancers, but their correlation with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. The purpose of our study was to investigate the correlation of GI, GL and carbohydrate with risk of HCC.Methods Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science until November 2020. According to the size of heterogeneity, the random effect model or the fixed effect model was performed to calculate the pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the correlation of GI, GL, and carbohydrates with the risk of HCC.Results Seven cohort studies involving 1,193,523 participants and 1,004 cases, and 3 case-control studies involving 827 cases and 5,502 controls were eventually included. The pooled results showed no significant correlation of GI (RR=1.11, 95%CI 0.80-1.53, I2= 62.2%), GL (RR=1.09, 95%CI 0.76-1.55, I2 = 66%), and carbohydrate (RR=1.09, 95%CI 0.84-1.32, I2=0%) with the risk of HCC in general population. Subgroup analysis revealed that in hepatitis B virus (HBV) or/and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive group, GI was not correlated with the risk of HCC (RR=0.65, 95%CI 0.32-1.32, p=0.475, I2=0.0%), while GL was significantly correlated with the risk of HCC (RR=1.52, 95%CI 1.04-2.23, p=0.016, I2=70.9%). In contrast, in HBV and HCV-negative group, both GI (RR=1.23, 95%CI 0.88-1.70, p=0.222, I2=33.6%) and GL (RR=1.17, 95% CI 0.83-1.64, p=0.648, I2=0%) were not correlated with the risk of HCC. Conclusion A high GL diet is correlated with a higher risk of HCC in people with hepatitis virus. A low GL diet may be recommended for patients with viral hepatitis to reduce the risk of HCC.
