Relação entre as características do comitê de auditoria e da auditoria independente das companhias abertas da B3

Objetivo: Investigar se existe relação entre as características do Comitê de Auditoria (tamanho; expertise; independência; participação feminina) constituído com as características da Auditoria Independente: (Audit Report Lag; Big Four; quantidade de principais assuntos de auditoria; opinião da auditoria no relatório), sendo essa análise realizada com as características de forma agregada e isolada. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi realizada inicialmente com 294 entidades, e posteriormente, reduzida a 64 empresas que efetivamente tinham Comitê de Auditoria constituído. Foram estimados quatro clusters para cada grupo de variáveis (auditoria independente e comitê de auditoria) e depois os grupos foram relacionados de forma agregada utilizando a técnica ANACOR, para analisar a relação entre as características apresentadas. Também foi aplicado teste Qui-quadrado a todas as empresas para analisar se existe relação entre o Comitê de Auditoria constituído com as características do relatório de auditoria de forma isolada. Resultados: Por meio da ANACOR foi verificada apenas uma relação aproximada entre os clusters AUD1 e COM1, sugerindo que as empresas auditadas por Big4 e com maior tempo de entrega do relatório de auditoria, têm Comitês de Auditoria cujos membros possuem expertise, porém há baixa participação feminina. Foi constatada ainda na análise isolada, significância para as variáveis PAA, BIG4 e AUDL, evidenciando que existe relação com a presença do Comitê de Auditoria na entidade. Contribuições do Estudo: Apenas as análises de forma isolada puderam evidenciar relação entre características da Auditoria Independente com a existência do Comitê de Auditoria, tais como a divulgação dos principais assuntos de auditoria no relatório do auditor independente, o fato da firma ser uma Big Four e o Audit Report Lag. Tal resultado possibilita que as pesquisas futuras possam fundamentar a utilização dessas variáveis, incluindo a divulgação dos PAA que ainda carece de estudos que os relacione com o Comitê de Auditoria.
Compositional and Microbiological Changes in Dahi Added with Strawberry Polyphenols Extract and Probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG

Polyphenolic compounds viz. flavonoids, procyanidins, phenolic acid and stildenes are the major important bioactive components of vegetable and fruits. These phenolic compounds have several biofunctional properties such as antioxidant and ACE inhibitory (Sikora et al., 2008). The inclusion of phenolic compound in diet of human is better alternative of usage of synthetic drug without imparting any side effects. As use of synthetic drugs are associated with many ill effects. So there is requirement to incorporate the individual diet with natural bioactive compounds. Among all chronic diseases hypertension and diabetes are commonly occurring metabolic diseases. These are the world foremost chronic diseases.
Transformation of the buffer layer grown on 4H-SiC to single-layer graphene by ex situ hydrogen intercalation

Abstract The buffer layer samples grown on the Si-face of the 4H- and 6H-SiC substrates were heated in a hydrogen flow at different temperatures (600–900 °C) and heating times (40–60 min) in order to obtain quasi-freestanding monolayer graphene. Their structural properties were characterized before and after heating by using the methods of Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy, and low-energy electron diffraction. The dependence of the degree of coverage of the sample with quasi-freestanding graphene and the number of defects in the resulting films on the heating temperature was studied. As a result of optimization of the technological parameters, it is shown that the highest quality of the resulting quasi-freestanding graphene can be achieved by using the following parameters: heating time of 40 minutes and temperature of 800 °C.

AUTOMATIC QUERY REWEIGHTING USING CO-OCCURRENCE GRAPHS

Providing a relevant response to the user has always been challenging. Query reformulation methods have been widely applied in an attempt to provide a better representation of the user’s query and thus improve retrieval performance. In this paper, we present a new query reweighting method for document retrieval based on term co-occurrence graphs, which are built using a context window-based approach over the entire corpus. We propose an adapted version of the well-established Okapi BM25 model that allows identifying the most informative terms in the query and assigning them optimal weights. This measure stands out by its ability to evaluate the discriminative power of terms from co-occurrence graphs. Experimental results on two standard ad-hoc TREC collections show that our method improves both retrieval effectiveness and robustness and outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines with significant margins.
SO 2 sorption properties of fly ash zeolites

In the presented study, the sulfur dioxide sorption properties of fly ash zeolite X were investigated. Sorption tests were performed on fly ash zeolite samples that were not prepared specially for sorption, in addition to dried samples and samples in the presence of water vapor. The samples saturated with water vapor showed the highest sorption capacity. The sorption capacity of the samples additionally dried prior to the sorption experiment was higher than that of the samples that were not specially prepared for the sorption test. Regeneration tests indicated relatively good regeneration properties. The obtained results were described with the use of Langmuir, Sips, and Dubinin–Astakhov models, with the Dubinin–Astakhov model providing the best fit.
Recognizing pharmacovigilance named entities in Brazilian Portuguese with CoreNLP

Textual data sources may assist in the detection of adverse events not predicted for a particular drug. However, given the amount of information available in several sources, it is reasonable to adopt a computational approach to analyze these sources to search for adverse events. In this scenario, we created an extension of CoreNLP to process Brazilian Portuguese texts from pharma- covigilance area. We trained three natural language models: a Part-of-speech tagger, a parser and a Named Entity Recognizer. Preliminary results indicate success in generating a dependency tree for phrases in the pharmacovigilance area and in identifying pharmacovigilance named entities.
Seabed litter distribution in the high seas of the Flemish Pass area (NW Atlantic)

Seabed litter of the Flemish Pass area (NW Atlantic Ocean) was analysed and described using data from the EU-Spain groundfish survey (2006-2017 period). This study presents baseline information on seabed litter in this area. The Flemish Pass is located in areas beyond national jurisdiction within the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization Regulatory Area Division 3L. A total of 1169 valid bottom trawl hauls were analysed (104-1478 m depth). Litter was found in 8.3% of the hauls, with mean densities of 1.4±0.2 items km–2 and 10.6±5.2 kg km–2. An increasing pattern with depth was found, the highest densities of seabed litter being identified in the deepest areas located in the Flemish Pass channel and down the northeastern flank of the Grand Bank. Fishing was found to be the main source of marine litter, and 61.9% of the hauls with litter presence showed litter included in the fisheries-related litter category. Whereas in most cases the litter was composed of small fragments of rope, in other cases it was composed of entire fishing gears such as traps. Plastics, metal and other anthropogenic litter were the next most abundant categories, accounting for 18.6%, 16.5% and 12.4% of the total, respectively.
Étude observationnelle rétrospective sur les atteintes hépatiques et rénales dans une cohorte d'adolescents atteints d'anorexie

Contexte : peu de cas existent concernant la prevalence, la cause et l’evolution des atteintes hepatiques et renales chez les patients pediatriques atteints d’anorexie mentale. Objectif : le but de cette etude etait de decrire la prevalence et les facteurs de risques des atteintes hepatiques et renales a l’admission, leur evolution pendant l’hospitalisation, et d’examiner comment le developpement de ces defaillances a l’admission affecte la prise de charge therapeutique dans une cohorte d’adolescents atteints d’anorexie mentale. Methode : dans une cohorte retrospective d’adolescents atteints d’anorexie mentale au sein de l’hopital de Marseille de 2013 a 2019, nous avons compare quatre groupes a l’admission en hospitalisation : elevation des transaminases/transaminases normales et insuffisance renale/absence d’insuffisance renale pour analyser les differences (recueil des parametres demographiques, anthropometriques, de la duree de la maladie, du taux de calories initiale, de la vitesse de renutrition, du taux des transaminases et de creatinine avec calcul du debit de filtration glomerulaire). Nous avons observe l’evolution des transaminases et de l’insuffisance renale pour ces quatre groupes au cours de la renutrition. Resultats : au total, 29 patients atteints d’anorexie mentales ont ete inclus dans l’etude (âge: 14.2 ans, filles (86.2%), Z-score median de l’IMC : -2.8 Deviation Standard (DS)) avec elevation des transaminases pour 20.7 % et une insuffisance renale pour 13.8 % des patients a l’admission. Un Z- score de l’IMC bas (-4.05 vs -2 DS, p = 0.013), un faible poids attendu pour la taille (69% vs 76%, p = 0.034) et une duree plus longue de la maladie (2.1 vs 0.9 ans, p = 0,032) etaient associees significativement avec une augmentation des transaminases a l’admission. Un Z-score de l’IMC bas (-3.35 vs -2.5 DS, p = 0.002) et une perte de poids plus importante avant l’admission (0.66 vs a 0.20 kg par jour, p = 0.002) etaient associes a une insuffisance renale a l’admission. Le temps du nadir de l’IMC (13.5 vs 6.5 jours, p = 0.034) et la duree d’hospitalisation (55 vs 41 jours, p = 0.036) etaient plus longs dans le groupe elevation des transaminases a l’admission. Durant la renutrition, les enzymes hepatiques (intervalle de confiance (IC) a 95%, odds ratio (OR) aspartate aminotransferases : -0.07 [-0.11; -0.03] and OR alanine aminotransferases : -0.16 [-0.27; -0.06]) et l’insuffisance renale (95% IC, OR creatinine: -0.013 [-0.017; -0.008]) ont diminue de facon concomitante a l’augmentation des calories. Conclusion : les resultats de cette etude suggerent que le degre de denutrition est associe aux atteintes hepatiques et renales a l’admission en service. Ces defaillances disparaissent avec la renutrition. Des etudes prospectives multicentriques pour observer l’evolution renale et hepatique pendant le processus de renutrition au sein d’une cohorte pediatrique de patients atteints d’anorexie mentale devront etre menees pour confirmer nos conclusions.
Author's reply

We would like to express our gratitude to the researcher who took the time to read our article titled “The relationship between serum vitamin D level and asthma” and added value to our writing by writing to the editor. Contacted by a valuable researcher, “Patients with inhaled steroids may have decreased serum vitamin D” information is available in the literature [1, 2]. In this respect, the researcher is extremely right. Thus, we included patients with newly diagnosed and not receiving treatment (inhaled steroids and others). We mentioned this in the study design section of the material and method section [3].
Automatische Generierung relevanter Szenarien für den Test automatisierter Fahrzeuge unter Berücksichtigung der Sensorabdeckung

Die konventionelle Fahrzeugerprobung sieht eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Tests der Hardware in definierten Szenarien vor. Dieses Vorgehen ist auf einem begrenzten Testraum sinnvoll, bei sehr grosen oder offenen Testraumen jedoch weder okonomisch vertretbar noch zweckmasig. Betrachtet man den Testraum autonomer Fahrzeuge ergibt sich dieser zu einer unendlichen Anzahl an Testfallen, bestehend aus der Kombination unterschiedlichster Umwelt-, Fahrzeug- und Verkehrsbedingungen. Diese mussen durch das System ganzlich und sicher kontrolliert werden. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird ein Modell entwickelt, das aus allen moglichen Testfallen eine moglichst herausfordernde Teilauswahl an Szenarien definiert. Dafur werden aufbauend auf der Sensorik des betrachteten Fahrzeugs Testszenarien fur den Use-Case Autobahn generiert. Auf Basis der raumlichen Sensorabdeckung des zu untersuchenden Fahrzeuges wird durch ein numerisches Optimierungsverfahren der Verlauf der relativen Lage zweier Verkehrsteilnehmer zueinander ermittelt. Es zeigt sich, dass die Performanz eines adaptierten A*-Algorithmus uberlegen ist gegenuber einer modifizierten Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Dieser relative Pfad wird anschliesend durch einen Algorithmus in ein Testszenario ubersetzt, dass die Positionen der beiden Verkehrsteilnehmer innerhalb einer zulassigen Strasengeometrie bei realistischer Fahrdynamik beinhaltet. Der aktuelle Stand des Modells zeigt, dass mit diesem Vorgehen grundsatzlich Szenarien definiert werden konnen. Das resultierende Szenario ist jedoch noch nicht fur die Anwendung geeignet, da nicht alle notigen Randbedingungen erfullt werden. Die vorgestellte Arbeit kann damit einen Beitrag zur Definition von herausfordernden Szenarien fur zukunftige hochautomatisierte Fahrzeuge leisten und erweitert die bisherigen Ansatze um die Betrachtung der Sensorik.

Visualization of dose distribution inside soft X-ray machine based on OSL technology

In this study, as a part of the development of the radiation mapping technology, we are planning to develop the gamma-ray imager based on a passive detector such as a dosimeter. For this purpose, we demonstrated the use of nanoDot OSLD as a passive detector being irradiated inside a soft x-ray machine then combined the irradiation position (qualitatively) with radiation dose (quantitatively) for visualization purpose. The experimental results showed that the NanoDots exhibit good linearity and reproducibility when subjected to soft X-rays machine, Hence, the nanoDots showed a promising potential for visualization of dose distribution.

Effect of photoperiod In vitro callus induction and regeneration of Guggul [Commiphora wightii (Arnott)]

The impact of various photoperiod regimes on callus induction from callus culture in guggul leaf explants was carried out in present investigation. The leaf explants showing the maximum callus (0.90g) induction on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D with 100 per cent frequency were tested for their response to different regimes (10:14, 12:12, 14:10, 16:8) of photoperiod. The cultures were incubated with a light intensity of 3000 lux at 25±2 ° C. Maximum callus induction was observed (0.95 g)in leaf explants incubated at 14:10 hours photoperiod with 100 per cent frequency followed by (0.88 g) with 100 per cent frequency at 10:14 hours photoperiod. Minimum callus induction (0.69g) was observed with 90 per cent at 12: 12 hours photoperiod regimes. Callus induction in leaf explant completely inhibited at 16:8 hours photoperiod. 14:10 was most suitable photoperiod regime for callus induction in leaf explants. Leaf derived callus (2.0 mg/l 2, 4-D, 5.0 mg/l Kn + 0.5 mg/l NAA and 1.0 mg/l Kn) was subcultured at the same level of plant growth regulator to maintain the stock cultures. Shoot/ embryo morphogenesis was not observed on any of the these plant growth regulators except 2.0 mg/l 2, 4-D. Semi compact, light green callus proliferating from cut surface of the leaf explants on the medium supplemented with 2, 4-D (2.0 mg/l) when assessed for its organogenetic capacity. Upon subculture on cytokinin (BAP 0.1-3.0 mg/l) and auxin (2, 4-D 0.1-3.0 mg/l) added singly in the medium and in combination de novo shoot morphogenesis was observed. The reproducibility of this morphogenesis was only 25-30 per cent.

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Aerial Parts of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. Growing in Bangladesh

The present study evaluated the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of methanolic extract of aerial parts of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. and its different solvent fractions. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed by using 2,2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. The analysis revealed that ethyl acetate soluble fraction had the highest DPPH radicals scavenging property with IC50 value of 1.05 μg/ml as compared to positive control ascorbic acid (IC50 = 1.34 μg/ml). In addition, ex vivo cytotoxicity assay of A. capillus-veneris L. extract and its different fractions were performed against HELA cells line where 5-Fluorouracil was used as positive control. The result demonstrated that ethyl acetate and n-hexane soluble fractions showed prominent cytotoxicity with IC50 value of 5.68 μg/ml and 17.15 μg/ml, respectively. The study affirmed that superior antioxidant and cytotoxic activities were shown by ethyl acetate soluble fraction of methanolic extract of aerial parts of A. capillus-veneris L. growing in Bangladesh which indicate the presence of bioactive phytoconstituents in the extractives.

Some features of query construction in an expert system according to the peculiarities of knowledge structuring (using the domain of nanotechnology as an example)

Статья посвящена вопросу интеллектуализации информационного поиска и ускорения процесса извлечения научных знаний из специализированного программного обеспечения — экспертной системы, научные знания в которой структурированы в виде терминологических сетей. Задачей исследования явилось представление способа извлечения необходимой информации из экспертной системы путем ввода конкретного запроса и перечисление возможных запросов для системы. Базовой терминологической сетью в настоящей работе выступает фрагмент реконструируемой авторами обобщенной терминологической сети, актуальной для терминов категории «Инструмент (искусственный объект)». К рассматриваемой категории относятся термины квантовая точка, нанопленка, нановолокно, нанопроволока, нанопластина, контексты употребления которых послужили источниками примеров. Основными методами исследования в процессе работы стали контекстный анализ и метод интерпретации полученных данных, которые на начальном этапе способствовали разработке семантических отношений, связывающих термины категории «Инструмент области нанотехнологии» со смежными терминами других категорий. Выделенные семантические отношения между терминами позволили определить характер их системного взаимодействия и далее выстроить некоторые прототипичные модели взаимодействия понятий. Сопоставив набор полученных семантических отношений и прототипичных моделей для вышеперечисленных терминов категории «Инструмент области нанотехнологии», авторам удалось реконструировать фрагмент обобщенной терминологической сети. Данные результаты послужили основанием для формулировки некоторых типовых вопросов, которые следует использовать в качестве поисковых запросов для извлечения научных знаний из экспертной системы. Показано, что сформированные запросы универсальны и позволяют получить необходимую информацию в случае наличия соответствующих семантических отношений в терминологической сети запрашиваемого термина.
Insider guarantees in corporate finance : An economic analysis of Dutch, US and German law

Insider guarantees play a crucial role in both the structuring of lending transactions of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in which situation a private person who is shareholder or director of the enterprise often guarantees business debts towards a professional creditor such as the main bank, and in the structuring of large corporate groups, in which group companies often guarantee each other’s debts towards a major lender. The dynamics involved in both situations are however underexposed in legal literature. The guarantee relationship in corporate finance often leads to efficiency gains by influencing the behavior of guarantor and debtor. This function deserves close scrutiny as changing the behavior of debtor and guarantor is likely to have effect on outsiders to the guarantee relationship. The guarantee relationship is prone to opportunistic use towards both insiders and outsiders of the relationship. This book especially breaks new ground in the analysis of opportunistic use towards outsiders of the relationship. Two main types of such opportunistic use are opaque priority structures and covert insider dealing. German, Dutch and US law regulate opaque priority structures only to a limited extent and need substantial improvement. Covert insider dealing through guarantees, of which the most obvious example is a shareholder or director who influences or represents the company in making payments on debts guaranteed by him or her or by a group company, is somewhat regulated under German and US law but both could do with improvement. Dutch law hardly regulates this and needs substantial improvement.
