Tracking abundant gene transcripts quantification over continuous cancer progression stages may reveal the mechanism of disease advancement. In this work, we profile the transcript quantification over the stages using a time-series approach, in which the stages/sub-stages of the disease are the time points, and the quantification measurements are the values. The values over time points are used to interpolate the growth of the progression using the cubic spline function. Then, the transcripts profiles are universally aligned and clustered using the time-series profile hierarchical clustering method based on the area between each pair of the aligned profiles; the method is named (HC-UAP). We compare the proposed method with a hierarchical clustering method based on Euclidean distance (HC-ED). Both methods were applied on two next-generation sequencing (NGS) prostate cancer datasets, the first from the Chinese and the second from the North American population. HC-ED clusters the dataset to find patterns while HC-UAP was able to single out outliers that trend differently in both datasets. While finding patterns in gene expression that trend over stages is the standard approach for analyzing time-series models, identifying outlier transcripts that grow differently than other transcripts can provide more details about the contribution of the mRNA transcriptional activity to the disease. They also can be a potential biomarker for the disease progression.

The primary aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in mitigating information disparities, as perceived by employees within the realm of Jordanian financial intermediaries. This role is encapsulated in various components, including accounting systems and policies, international financial reporting standards, international external auditing standards, international internal auditing standards, as well as professional and ethical conduct guidelines. In pursuit of our research objectives, we adopted two distinct methodological approaches. Firstly, a descriptive analytical approach was employed, involving the development of a structured questionnaire to gather primary data pertaining to the assessment of independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices. The second approach encompassed an applied perspective, seeking to gauge the impact of entrepreneurial accounting practices on reducing information asymmetry. This was achieved by examining the financial statements of insurance companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the period spanning 2016 to 2022, thereby constituting our dependent variable. Rigorous statistical techniques were employed to meticulously analyze the collected data, with the validation of our hypotheses achieved through a comprehensive multiple regression analysis. The findings of this study distinctly underscore the pivotal role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in ameliorating information asymmetry issues within the corporate economic landscape. A robust and statistically significant correlation emerged between our dependent variable, namely the reduction of information asymmetry, and both the independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices and their inherent characteristics. This study's significant recommendation extends beyond the mere technical dimensions of accounting, encompassing a call for a holistic reevaluation of the accounting profession. Addressing the enduring phenomenon of information asymmetry among stakeholders is not merely a concern confined to the technical aspects of accounting. Rather, it represents a profound professional and ethical crisis that permeates the entire accounting ecosystem. This crisis emanates from the very foundations and legal frameworks of the profession, extends through accounting standards, and encompasses professional conduct and ethics. Ultimately, it concludes with the supervision and oversight of the quality of professional performance, an obligation shared by accountants, certified auditors, and management alike.
