SUMMARY This paper examines whether and how firms’ engagement in related-party transactions (RPTs) is shaped by public communication of audit risks as required the expanded report. Using phased regulatory changes China a difference-in-differences design with firm fixed effects matching, we find that firms significantly reduce their RPTs after adoption reports (EARs). To investigate potential me...

In this study, an experimental program was performed to investigate the cyclic friction-slip behaviour of AS/NZS 3678–350 (G350) steel with different surface finishes. Fifteen bolted connections consisting EN 1090–2 slip factor test assemblies M16 bolts were prepared and tested five commonly used finishes including inorganic zinc silicate (IZS), epoxy primer (EZP), aliphatic acrylic polyurethan...

The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed many of the weaknesses in our current systems government and commerce. In this essay, I provide some historical context to recent era “hyper-globalization.” then present multiple factors—economic, social, political, technological, governance-related—that collectively explain why globalization peaked is on retreat. Following this, use analogy a three-legged stoo...

Stratejik işbirlikleri gelişen ve değişen dinamik havacılık sektöründe havayolu işletmelerinin ortak faaliyetlerde bulunma çabalarında karşılarına çıkmaktadır. Havayolu yer aldığı işbirliği anlaşmaları sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı kazanma yolunda atılan önemli adımlar olarak nitelendirilebileceği gibi üyelerine yol gösterici bir rol de üstlenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, küresel işbirlikler...

Based on a set of over 100 mediumto high-resolution optical spectra collected from 2003 to 2009, we investigate the properties of the O-type star population in NGC 6611 in the core of the Eagle Nebula (M16). Using a much more extended data set than previously available, we revise the spectral classification and multiplicity status of the nine O-type stars in our sample. We confirm two suspected...

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem so that a more effective vaccine than bacillus Calmette-Guérin is urgently needed. Cytomegaloviruses persist lifelong in vivo and induce powerful immune and increasing ("inflationary") responses, making them attractive vaccine vectors. We have used an m1-m16-deleted recombinant murine CMV (MCMV) expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag 85A to show th...

Skimmianine is a furoquinoline alkaloid present mainly in the Rutaceae family. It has been reported to have analgesic, antispastic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, and other pharmacologic activities. Despite its critical pharmacological function, its metabolite profiling is still unclear. In this study, the in vivo metabolite profiling of skimmianine in rats was investigated using ultra-performanc...
