In this paper, we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the relative performance of 41 open-end funds from 2015 to 2018 in China market. By comparison, it is found that the traditional performance measurement index based on investment return rate and DEA model have both similarities and differences in evaluating relative performance of fund. The fund performance evaluation system established by DEA model includes many estimators such as risk reward, fund behavior and growth liquidity. It could accomplish more comprehensive performance evaluation results than traditional performance analysis methods. In addition, this paper uses DEA-Malmquist super-efficiency to analyze the potential micro and macro factors that influence the relative performance of fund. The result shows that there may be an optimal interval between relative performance of fund and its size. The current investors of open-end funds are mainly small and medium-sized investors and the participation of institutional investors is low. Increasing the percentage of institutional investors could have a positive impact on the fund's relative performance. This paper brings perspectives and suggestions for investors, fund managers and market supervisors to further improve the efficiency of open-end fund and its relative performance.

Infertility has grown into an emergent issue in recent times. It is defined as the inability of the couple to conceive despite two years of co habitation and unprotected exposure to pregnancy. As there is a dearth of studies concerning infertility among rural population this study was taken up in Sri Siddhartha Medical College, a constituent college of SSAHE, a Deemed to be university which caters to rural population of Tumkur district of Karnataka with the aim of assessing the role of HbA1c, Vitamin D and AMH in infertile women of the above mentioned population. Our case control study included age matched 40 infertile women and 40 apparently healthy women. Quantification of HbA1c was by fluorescence immunoassay on the Fine Care analyzer. AMH was assayed on cobas e immunoassay analyzer adopting chemiluminescene method. Vitamin D estimated by fully automated chemiluminescene analyzer Siemens Advia Centaur for 25-OH Vitamin D. Our study revealed statistically significant (P-<0.001) increase of Blood HbA1c and serum AMH whereas significant (P-<0.001) decrease in serum Vitamin D levels. The present study shows that there is high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, significantly elevated HbA1c levels which is marker of long term glycemic control and increased AMH levels which indicated anovulation in infertile women. So it is suggested that early estimation of these biochemical parameters and their correction would possibly lead to increased chances of conception in these infertile women of rural population.
