Influência da informação económico-financeira na reeleição do autarca

Mestrado em Contabilidade - FiscalidadeEste trabalho assentou nos pressupostos de várias teorias, designadamente, a teoria da agência e a teoria da escolha pública, e tem como objetivos principais por um lado, perceber se a informação económico-financeira divulgada pelas autarquias influencia a reeleição do autarca e em caso afirmativo que tipo de informação exerce essa influência. Por outro lado, perceber se o tipo de informação que influencia a reeleição do autarca varia com o tamanho da autarquia. Face aos resultados obtidos, é difícil concluir de forma clara e conclusiva em relação a estes objetivos, pois diferentes variáveis económico-financeiras influênciam de forma diferente as diversas subamostras nos dois períodos eleitorais.This work was based on the assumptions of many theories, namely, agency theory and the theory of public choice, and its main objectives, realize if economic and financial information disclosed by the authorities influences the re-election of the mayor and if so what kind of information exerts such influence. On the other hand, to understand the type of information that influences the re-election of Mayor varies with the size of the municipality. Considering our results, it is difficult to conclude clearly and conclusively towards these goals, as different economic and financial variables influence differently the various sub-samples in the two election periods

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
