A recent study conducted by researchers from Rhodes College in London, United Kingdom, explores the impact of sustainability emphasis on attracting the next generation of accountants. The study found that individuals are more interested in becoming accountants when sustainability assurance positions are emphasized, particularly those with a prosocial social value orientation. However, the study also suggests that prosocial individuals may exhibit lower professional skepticism, which could have potential negative consequences. The findings shed light on how the accounting profession can attract prosocial individuals and the implications of doing so. The research has been peer-reviewed and can be accessed in the journal Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Rhodes College focused on developing ultrasonic techniques for diagnosing osteoporosis. The researchers aimed to create an ultrasonic phantom that simulates the tissue configuration of bone, which consists of a non-porous outer layer of cortical bone surrounding a porous interior region of cancellous bone. They used a block of polymer open cell rigid foam embedded in a thin layer of clear epoxy casting resin to create the phantoms. The resulting specimens can be used to investigate how non-normal incidence of an ultrasonic wave on the bone cortex may produce errors in measurements. For more information, the full article can be accessed through the provided link. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Rhodes College has explored the use of ultrasonic backscatter techniques to detect changes in bone caused by osteoporosis and other diseases. The researchers investigated how measurements in the near field of a planar transducer affect backscatter parameters used for ultrasonic bone assessment. They found that three backscatter parameters, AIB, FSAB, and FIAB, depended on the distance between the transducer and the specimen to varying degrees, with FSAB exhibiting the greatest dependence. The study suggests that future laboratory studies of bone should evaluate the performance of backscatter parameters using clinically relevant transducer-specimen distances, including distances where the ultrasonically interrogated region is in the near field of the transducer.
