Abstract:
The thesis examines whether chief executive officers (CEOs) use their power to influence audit quality, proxied by audit fees and the likelihood of receiving a going-concern opinion. In addition, this thesis examines the moderating role of internal and external monitoring on the association between CEO power and audit quality to assess whether monitoring intensity can counterbalance CEO power. The findings of this study have several implications for regulators, auditors, investors, and academic researchers.

Research on voice change in males has generally fallen into two categories: music education studies of changes in the singing voice and speech studies of changes in the speaking voice. These studies rarely consider differences in the dynamic ability of male singers at different stages of vocal development.

The availability of reproductive sites is a major factor shaping the behavior of males and females in species with resource-based mating systems. Using a meta-analytic approach, we tested five predictions directly or indirectly derived from the mating system theory. We expected that reproductive site limitation would lead to: (1) intense male-male competition for resource possession; (2) high variance in male reproductive success, generating high values of opportunity for sexual selection; (3) high intensity of selection on male traits related to resource possession; (4) high sperm competition

Abstract:
The thesis aims to improve treatment dose accuracy in brachytherapy using a high dose rate (HDR) Ir-192 stepping source and in external beam therapy using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). For HDR brachytherapy, this has been achieved by investigating dose errors in the near field and the transit dose of the HDR brachytherapy stepping source. For IMRT, this study investigates the volume effect of detectors in the dosimetry of small fields, and the clinical implementation and dosimetric verification of a 6MV photon beam for IMRT. For the study of dose errors in the near field o

Abstract:
O sucesso do tratamento de implantes dentários depende da quantidade e qualidade óssea da área de interesse e o uso da Tomografia Computadorizada por Feixe Cônico (TCFC) pode ser correlacionado para a sua estimativa. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar e comparar os níveis de escala de cinza dos voxels de imagens obtidas por TCFC de mandíbulas atróficas com o auxílio de programa para diagnóstico e planejamento de implantes e correlacionar a Intensidade Pixel (IP) com a classificação subjetiva do Índice de Qualidade Óssea (IQO). Foram avaliadas imagens tomográficas de 10 mandíbulas atróficas ob

Abstract:
Os objetivos desse estudo foram avaliar a terapia a laser de baixa intensidade (LILT) e o ultrassom, no tratamento da disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) e o impacto da disfunção e das terapias na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Trinta pacientes foram triados no Serviço de Oclusão e Disfunção da Articulação Temporomandibular da Faculdade de Odontologia de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (SODAT/FORP-USP) (RDC/DTM). Os pacientes foram pareados quanto ao grau de disfunção e distribuídos aleatoriamente entre três grupos de avaliação: o Grupo I (LILT), o Grupo II (ultrassom) e o Grupo II

A presente tese, que tem como título: “O Brincar das Crianças em Espaços Públicos” é resultado de uma investigação realizada no Programa de Doutorado Diversidade e Mudança em Educação: Políticas e Práticas do Departamento de Organização Educativa (DOE) da Universidade de Barcelona (UB) na Faculdade de Pedagogia. O estudo teve, como proposta geral compreender a afetividade da criança com o lugar onde brinca e como acontece a apropriação dos espaços públicos planejados ou não para o lazer infantil. O presente trabalho é qualitativo e exploratório cuja estratégia metodológica eleita foi o estudo

Abstract:
Le présent travail de thèse décrit le développement d'un protocole d'irradiation stéréotaxique combinée à une radiothérapie conformationnelle avec modulation d'intensité. Ce projet a été initiée dans le service de radiothérapie-oncologie du Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud. La première partie de ce travail fait état d'une revue de littérature sur les techniques d'irradiation du cancer de la prostate. Trois grands thèmes de recherche ont été identifiés et developpés : un premier thèse de recherche portant sur la définition optimale des volumes à irradier lors d'une irradiation stéréotaxique de la pr
