Beyond the Bin: The Effect of Waste Reduction on Real Earnings Management

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of waste management strategies on real earnings management. Using a sample of 6515 firm‐year observations from 22 countries spanning the 2011–2022 period, we show that companies that reduce their waste generation are less likely to engage in real earnings management, supporting the ethical theoretical perspective ...

Intrapartum oral azithromycin for maternal infection prophylaxis and the risk of postpartum hemorrhage: A secondary analysis of the A‐PLUS trial

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective A single oral dose of azithromycin (AZM) given during labor to women planning a vaginal delivery reduced maternal infections including sepsis, with a stronger effect in sub‐Saharan Africa than South Asia. Since maternal infection contributes to labor dysfunction and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), we evaluated the effect of AZM on the ...

Structural design and property regulation of organic polymers for photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 offers a sustainable approach. Photocatalytic efficiency depends critically on interfacial electron transfer kinetics and spatial charge separation. Herein, we systematically analyze key factors governing photogenerated carrier dynamics and propose engineered strategies to optimize performance, thereby providing design ...

Comparison of the SMI Technique and CEUS for the Assessment of Microvasculature in Leiomyosarcoma and Its Clinical Value for Application

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
SMI and CEUS can clearly reflect the microvascular situation in fibroids and effectively guide the clinical treatment of patients with uterine fibroids, but the effect of SMI is better than that of CEUS in guiding the treatment of patients, which can provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment programs.

Optical Properties of Thick TiO2-P25 Films

Nanomaterials
In this study, TiO2-P25 films on FTO substrates were synthesized using the sol-gel process and studied using Variable Angle Spectroscopy Ellipsometry (VASE) to determine their optical constants and thickness. The measurements were carried out at room temperature in the wavelength range of (300–900) nm at incident angles varying from 55° to 70°.

Do Financial Analysts Penalize Excessive Growth? Evidence From IPOs

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the impact of growth rates on analyst recommendations for European firms that underwent an IPO between 2015 and 2020. Drawing from signaling theory, which posits that IPO firms emit signals to the market through their growth rates, we explore how growth in employment and sales influences analysts, who play a key role as
