Moderating Effect of Audit Committee Financial Expertise on the Relationship between Audit Quality and Earnings Management of Quoted Consumer Goods Firms in Nigeria

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study examined the moderating effect of audit committee financial expertise on the relationship between audit quality and earnings management among quoted consumer goods companies in Nigeria. Earnings management as dependent variable was proxied by discretionary accruals while audit quality is explained using audit fees and auditor industry specialization.The study adopted Ex post facto research design. Population included all the 21 companies in the consumer goods sector. The study purposively, sampled 17 out of the entire population for the purpose of data collection. The study covered the period 2012 to 2021. Secondary data were extracted from the annual accounts of the companies for the period of the study. The study employed the use of multiple regression technique to analyse the data. The result of the study showed that both audit fees and auditor industry specialization have positive significant relationship with earnings management when moderated by audit committee financial expertise. The study concluded that both variables can be used as determinants of real earnings management when there is a financial expert on the audit committee. From the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be made with respect to legislations to strengthen auditors’ quality in Nigeria by ensuring that audit committee members have financial expertise since it is a viable corporate governance tool towards enhancing reported earnings quality.
Manopause Policy HR

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Article Summary This article examines the role of organisational policy in addressing andropause (often referred to as “manopause”) as an equality and wellbeing issue within contemporary workplaces. The scope focuses on human resource practices that recognise age- and health-related changes affecting men and their implications for employment equity. The objective is to outline practical policy measures through which organisations can create supportive and non-discriminatory environments for employees experiencing andropause. Using a practice-oriented, policy analysis approach, the article synthesises existing workplace strategies, including awareness initiatives, flexible work arrangements, health resources, leadership engagement, and monitoring mechanisms. Emphasis is placed on embedding men’s health considerations within broader equality, diversity, and inclusion frameworks. The article is relevant to scholars and practitioners in human resource management, occupational health, and organisational studies, as well as policymakers seeking to integrate health-related life transitions into inclusive employment practices.

Implosion of solid liner for compression of field reversed configuration

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The design and first successful demonstration of an imploding solid liner with height to diameter ratio, radial convergence, and uniformity suitable for compressing a field reversed configuration is discussed. Radiographs indicated a very symmetric implosion with no instability growth, with /spl sim/13x radial compression of the inner liner surface prior to impacting a central measurement unit. The implosion kinetic energy was 1.5 megajoules, 34% of the capacitor stored energy of 4.4 megajoules.
Stabilization and transport of the critically ill child

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Centralization of paediatric intensive care facilities means that more children will need to be moved to specialist units. It has been clearly shown that this results in improved morbidity and mortality rates for the sickest children1 and that properly conducted transportation does not cause a deterioration in the patient’s condition and outcome. By recognizing critically ill children early, by thoroughly assessing and stabilizing their condition prior to transfer and by ensuring that appropriately experienced personnel accompany the child using appropriate equipment, secondary insults during transport can be avoided.
Running Head: MnPO receptors mediate hemodynamic responses to stress Corresponding Author:

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The brain renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the regulation of arterial pressure in response to stress, in part due to activation of AT1 receptors in the hypothalamic median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) by endogenous angiotensin II (Ang II). N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are also involved in the angiotensinergic signaling pathway through the MnPO. We investigated whether AT1 and NMDA receptors in the MnPO were responsible for variable hemodynamic response patterns to stress. Cocaine or startle with cold water evoked a pressor response in Sprague-Dawley rats due, in some rats (vascular responders or VR), to a large increase in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and, in other rats (mixed responders or MR), to small increases in SVR and cardiac output (CO). Microinjection of the GABAA agonist muscimol into the MnPO to block synaptic transmission attenuated the cocaine- or stress-induced increase in SVR and the decrease in CO seen in VR without altering either response in MR. Likewise, administration of either an AT1 receptor antagonist, losartan, or an NMDA receptor antagonist, MK-801, attenuated the increase in SVR and the decrease in CO in VR in response to either cocaine (losartan and MK-801) or startle with cold water (losartan) without altering either response in MR. We propose that the MnPO is responsible for greater SVR responses in

Rational Design of Organic Asymmetric Donors D1–A–D2 Possessing Broad Absorption Regions and Suitable Frontier Molecular Orbitals to Match Typical Acceptors toward Solar Cells

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

A series of donors have been designed based on three building blocks, i.e., triphenylamine (TPA), 4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (DBT), and oligothiophenes (5Th), to investigate suitable molecules toward solar cell materials. The donors are built by two donor fragments (TPA as D1 and 5Th as D2) and one acceptor fragment (DBT as A) in three topologies with or without linkages and electron-withdrawing groups. Their electronic and optical properties have been characterized by the PBE0/6-31G(d,p) and the TD-PBE0/6-31+G(d,p) approaches. The calculated results reveal that the asymmetric donor in the topology of D1-A-D2 with vinyl linkage and -NO(2) groups is a rational strategy to design novel material possessing a small HOMO-LUMO gap, broad and intense absorption spectra, and higher charge transfer ability. The promising donors for [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), bisPCBM, and PC70BM as acceptors are recommended theoretically for the first time for solar cells based on the proper match for frontier molecular orbitals between donors and acceptors.
TRAFFIC JAMS SOON REMOVED

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper discusses the nature, size, and causes of traffic congestions on Dutch motorways, and the traffic and road engineering measures that can be taken to reduce these congestions as much as possible. To extend the existing traffic space one or more traffic lanes can be added to the highway cross section. In this respect the following geotechnical and pavement technical measures are discussed: a) light embankment materials; b) stone columns; c) vacuum consolidation; d) vertical drainage; e) asphaltic concrete pavement with grid; f) cement concrete pavement; g) block pavement. To make better use of the existing traffic space the following traffic engineering measures can be taken: a) use of the hard shoulder; b) redivision of the highway cross section; c) tidal flow; d) variable direction signing; e) local adjustments of the geometry; f) ramp metering; g) homogenizing the traffic flow via signalizing recommended speeds; h) very accurate traffic control; i) reconsideration of bridge openings; j) rush-hour service buses. To reduce the nuisance for the traffic when maintenance works are carried out a number of measures are discussed, such as carrying out more of the maintenance activities at night, and improvement of the coordination and information dissemination. Finally, the attention for the maintenance aspects already during the design stage of pavements is discussed. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD no 862419.
Synthesis of Metal Doped BiFeO<sub>3</sub> Nanoparticles and their Dielectric and Magnetic Properties

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Dielectric and magnetic properties of BiFeO 3 samples, co-doped with Gd or Ba and Ti in place of Bi and Fe, respectively, were investigated. The bulk powder samples of nominal compositions of Bi 0.9 Gd 0.1 Fe 1–x Ti x O 3 and Bi 0.7 Ba 0.3 Fe 1-x Ti x O 3 (x=0.00-0.25) ceramics were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction technique. The as prepared ceramics showed improved dielectric and magnetic properties. Also, ultrafine nanoparticles of the samples were prepared by milling assisted ultrasonic fragmentation of the bulk powder. The particles size was studied as a function of sonication time with TEM imaging and electron diffraction. These confirmed the formation of a large fraction of single-crystalline Bi 0.9 Gd 0.1 Fe 1–x Ti x O 3 nanoparticles with a mean size of 11-13 nm. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit an improved magnetic behavior compared to their bulk counterparts at room temperature. The preparation and characterization of bulk ceramics as well as their nanoparticles were reported.
Vascular adhesion molecules in nocturnal asthma: a possible role for VCAM‐1 in ongoing airway wall inflammation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Increased airway inflammation at night is thought to be one of the underlying mechanisms in nocturnal asthma. Vascular adhesion molecules may be important for the recruitment of inflammatory cells in the process of asthmatic airway inflammation. Objective To determine the possible role of vascular adhesion molecules in increased airway inflammation at night in subjects with nocturnal asthma. Methods Bronchial biopsies were obtained at 16.00 h and 04.00 h from 13 healthy controls, 15 asthmatic patients with PEF variation ≤ 15% and 10 asthmatic patients with PEF variation > 15%. Biopsies were snap‐frozen and double‐immunostained for CD31 in combination with P‐selectin, E‐selectin, ICAM‐1 or VCAM‐1. Results No significant day–night differences in expression of adhesion molecules were found in any of the three groups. The percentage of VCAM‐1 positive vessels in biopsies of asthmatic patients was higher than in biopsies of healthy controls: 5.8 vs 2.5% ( P < 0.05) at 16.00 h and 11 vs 0% ( P < 0.05) at 04.00 h. In asthma, VCAM‐1 expression was correlated with the number of EG2 positive cells: at 16.00 h (rho = 0.57, P < 0.01) as well as at 04.00 h (rho = 0.64, P < 0.01). Moreover, VCAM‐1 expression was correlated with the number of CD25 positive cells at 16.00 h (rho = 0.43, P < 0.05) and at 04.00 h (rho = 0.41, P < 0.05). Conclusion Increased nocturnal airway obstruction in asthma is not associated with an increased nocturnal expression of vascular E‐selectin, P‐selectin, ICAM‐1 or VCAM‐1. The relationship between vascular VCAM‐1 expression and sub‐mucosal EG2 and CD25 positive cells, both at 16.00 h and 04.00 h, suggests a role for VCAM‐1 in the ongoing airway wall inflammation of asthma.

Multiple imputation Procedure for Record Linkage and Causal Inference to Estimate the Effects of home-delivered meals

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

To assess the impact of home-delivered meals programs offered by Meals on Wheels (MOW) a dataset that includes enrollment into MOW and healthcare utilization is required. Because of confidentiality restrictions this data is dispersed over MOW programs internal systems and Medicare claims. In the absence of unique identifying identifiers, MOW beneficiaries are linked to Medicare beneficiaries using probabilistic linking algorithm. However, this procedure may erroneously link individuals across the two datasets, which may result in biased treatment effect estimates and suboptimal interval estimates. We propose a two-stage multiple imputation framework to estimate causal effects when the covariates and outcome information are stored in Medicare claims and the treatment assignment is MOW program data. In the first stage, we create multiple datasets in which MOW beneficiaries are linked to Medicare beneficiaries using a Bayesian record linkage technique. In the second stage, we match Medicare beneficiaries that were not enrolled in MOW programs to those that did. Using these matches we multiply imputed for each MOW beneficiary their unobserved healthcare utilization if they did not receive MOW. This procedure propagates the errors in the linking process and the matching process, and can be used to estimate effects of interventions in other linked datasets when there are no unique identifiers.

Altered locus coeruleus–norepinephrine function following single prolonged stress

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract Data from preclinical and clinical studies have implicated the norepinephrine system in the development and maintenance of post‐traumatic stress disorder. The primary source of norepinephrine in the forebrain is the locus coeruleus ( LC ); however, LC activity cannot be directly measured in humans, and previous research has often relied upon peripheral measures of norepinephrine to infer changes in central LC –norepinephrine function. To directly assess LC –norepinephrine function, we measured single‐unit activity of LC neurons in a validated rat model of post‐traumatic stress disorder – single prolonged stress ( SPS ). We also examined tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA levels in the LC of SPS and control rats as an index of norepinephrine utilisation. For electrophysiological recordings, 92 LC neurons were identified from 19 rats ( SPS , 12; control, 7), and spontaneous and evoked responses to a noxious event (paw compression) were recorded. Baseline and restraint stress‐evoked tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA expression levels were measured in SPS and control rats ( n = 16 per group) in a separate experiment. SPS rats showed lower spontaneous activity but higher evoked responses, leading to an enhanced signal‐to‐noise ratio of LC neurons, accompanied by impaired recovery from post‐stimulus inhibition. In concert, tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA expression in the LC of SPS rats tended to be lower at baseline, but was exaggerated following restraint stress. These data demonstrate persistent changes in LC function following stress/trauma in a rat model of post‐traumatic stress, as measured by differences in both the electrophysiological properties of LC neurons and tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA transcription.

Participation of Tribal Farm Women in Agriculture Related Indigenous Resource Management Activities

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Indigenous techniques for resources management are considered to be the best means for friendly environment and livelihood for human being. Women's participation is noticed in agriculture. They are able to run their family with locally available resources. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted in the tribal areas of Banaskantha district of the Gujarat state with a random sample of 200 tribal farm women. Total 6 indigenous cultivation practices of the maize, the major crop of the area were selected for measuring participation of tribal farm women, on three point continuum viz., full participation, moderate participation and no participation. It can be concluded that- ‘selection of soil’ and ‘preparatory tillage’ in case of tillage; ‘preserving the seed material within the cobs for growing in the next season’ and ‘selecting/earmarking the cob of maize’ in case of selection of seed, seed treatment and sowing; ‘manuring’ and ‘fallowing the field’ in case of nutrient management; ‘using bird perches’ and ‘putting akdo/thor/kharhandi twings in irrigation channel’ in case of pest and disease management; ‘beating dried cobs with wooden stick’ and ‘plucking of matured cobs’ in case of in harvesting and ‘storage in hay/heaps’ and ‘storage in the bamboo bins/kothi’ in case of storage were the important activities in which maximum tribal farm women have participated.

Transverse effects in optical bistability: computations anti observations

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The spatial profile of the output intensity of a bistable optical GaAs etalon 1 has been studied by imaging the output plane of the etalon onto a 15- μ m diam aperture with a magnification of 7X. The aperture was translated across the image plane, and the transmission was monitored with an 8852 photomultiplier tube having ≃ 5-nsec resolution. In the low-intensity linear regime the HWHM radius a at the sample was determined to be ≃5 μ m, corresponding to a Fresnel number F = na 2 / λL of 24 for the etalon of length L = 4.5 μ m and refractive index n = 3.5.
Municipal Bonds as An Investment Opportunity for Life Insurance Companies on Capital Market In Macedonia

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The capital market in the Republic of Macedonia is characterized as shallow and weak due to the small range of financial instruments for investment. This situation particularly affects the investment opportunities of life insurance companies because on one hand, they cannot achieve the desired diversification of investment portfolio and on the other hand, they are legally bound to the total amount of assets covering technical provisions to be adequately placed. The experiences of some countries in the region and beyond point out municipal bonds as a particularly attractive investment opportunity. This financial instrument would be appropriate for life insurance companies in terms of their investment policy and for managing the risks that occur during the maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities. In the Republic of Macedonia conditions are created for the emergence of municipal bonds, both in terms of legislation and in existence of opportunity in some municipalities to borrow through the issuance of bonds.
