Accounting and Auditing information of publicly listed companies in the U.S manufacturing industry
No full textThis dataset supports the thesis entitled 'Matching Supply and Demand in the Audit Market' by Wu.
The data describes the basic financial information about the publicly listed companies in U.S. manufacturing industry and the audit-related information, including incumbent audit firm and audit fee. The data is collected from Compustat and Audit Analytics.</span
Matching supply and demand in the audit market
No full textThis thesis focuses on the interface of operation research and accounting. Owing to the transparency and the uniqueness of the audit market, this thesis discusses the demand-side and supply-side problem of the audit market, where the audit market has not been discussed extensively in the operation research. In addition, this thesis further incorporates both sides to examine the simultaneous effect of the auditor choice and pricing strategy of the auditor firm.The result of the first research in this thesis indicates the client would incur a significant switching cost when switching audit firms but the client would have different reactions (e.g. willing to negotiate or being loyal) when facing a fee discount, suggesting that the audit client would switch the audit firm for better audit quality rather than due to the lowballing effect. On the supply side, the second research approached in this thesis shows that audit firms have varied strategies for assessing their client portfolio, even among the Big Four. The specialist auditor is more likely to maintain their client-auditor relationship with the large companies when the cost increases based on the economies of scale while the auditor who owns most of the clients in the market is inclined to provide services to all sizes of the client based on economies of scope. The third research matches the demand with the supply in the audit market. The findings indicate that the client would consider differently and so the model of Bertrand competition could interpret the audit market the sample better but the predictive analysis shows the audit firms may still engage in tacit collusion with respect to a specific client, which should raise attention from the regulatory perspective.By allowing heterogeneity among the audit clients and audit firms, this thesis can engage with the random coefficients and discuss the individual effect rather than the fixed effect, which has not yet been considered in prior accounting literature and is expected to shed light on the objectives of future accounting research.<br/
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Combination of Wu Lin San and Shan Zha Ameliorates Substance P-Induced Hyperactive Bladder Via the Inhibition of Neutrophil Nadph Oxidase Activity
No full textSubstance P (SP) via neurokinin type I receptor activates leukocytes to produce burst release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increases leukocytes adhesion to the vessels in the inflamed bladder. Activation of neutrophil nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity may contribute to the neutrophil ROS production. We explored the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese formula for urinary dysfunction, Wu Lin San (WLS), and a modified formula WLS plus Shan Zha (WLSSZ) on SP- induced bladder hyperactivity. We evaluated WLS, Shan Zha, and WLSSZ effect on neutrophils NADPH oxidase activity in SP- stimulated neutrophils in vitro, and isovolumetric cystometrogram and ROS activity in vivo in anesthetized rat bladder with SP stimulation. Our results showed that WLS, Shan Zha, and WLSSZ inhibited SP-induced NADPH oxidase activity in an order WLSSZ > Shan Zha > WLS. Exogenous SP enhanced systemic vasodilation, bladder hyperactivity and bladder ROS. One week of oral administration of WLS or WLSSZ significantly reduced SP-induced bladder ROS amount and leukocyte accumulation and ameliorated the hyperactive bladder response. The therapeutic action was better in WLSSZ than in WLS. Our results indicate that a modified formula Wu Lin San plus Shan Zha can potentially ameliorate SP- induced neurogenic inflammation possibly via the inhibition of leukocyte NADPH oxidase activity.

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
