One of the objectives of the preparation of the Tax report is to provide
information to parties who need it that will be used to make comparisons, assess the
ability of a company, and as a guide for decision-making. In order to fulfill the above
objectives, financial reports must be comparable. These comparisons can be done in
two ways, namely horizontal and vertical. Horizontal comparison is a comparison of a
company's tax financial statements with other companies for the same period, which in
its concept can easily be used, in which the preparation uses existing software. This
study aims to develop a tax accounting learning model using the Computer Tax
program as a teaching material in lecture materials in universities. The specific target to
be achieved in this study is to issue teaching materials in the form of financial
accounting books compiled with the Computer Taxation program. To achieve these
objectives, this study uses descriptive analysis to identify the problems that exist in
financial accounting learning in universities in the city of Medan. That has been
running all this time. These problems include not understanding students in using Tax
computer programs that have been issued for a long time, and not motivated to study
the program because of lack of guidance in carrying out the practice. To find the factors
that become obstacles in understanding the use of the program. With the identification
of these factors, then a teaching material can be arranged to motivate students to want
to like the teaching material and the goal of educating the nation can be achieved.

Societies are classified according to their development and use of
technology. For most of human history, people lived in preindustrial societies
characterized by limited technology and low production of goods. After the Industrial
Revolution, many societies based their economies around mechanized labour, leading
to greater profits and a trend toward greater social mobility. At the turn of the new
millennium, a new type of society emerged. This post-industrial, or information,
society is built on digital technology and nonmaterial goods. Educational and
instructional supervision occur in a variety of societies; thus the need to explore the
various typologies of societies that provide the context for the instructional supervision
process.

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the physico-chemical and
microbiological qualities of dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection in the city of
Douala. The experimental type was conducted from December 2016 to June 2017. It
consisted of carrying out tests of physic-chemical and microbiological parameters on 14
batches of injectable DSP, conditioning, pH, TLC identification, dosage of active
ingredient, the clarity, nominal volume and sterility of the drug were analyzed. The
technics used were a visual inspection, thin layer chromatography, UV/visible
spectrophotometry and microbiological technics, were that of direct seeding. The results
were compared in each sector (formal and informal) and in both. Thus, it was found that
the injectable DSP, which came from the formal sector had a non-compliance rate of
12.7%, while that from the informal sector a non-compliance rate of 39.7%. In both
sectors, the injectable DSP had a non-compliance rate of around 26.2%. Both formal
and informal circuits were all affected by non-compliance, although there is a
predominance in the informal circuit.

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of procurement
practices on performance of construction projects in Tanzania. The principle question
to be addressed by this study is „what procurement practices are responsible for
performance of construction projects in Tanzania?‟ To answer this question and to
achieve the primary objective of this study, the researcher focuses on National Housing
Corporation (NHC) as a case study. NHC has been selected for this study because it is
one of the major public institutions with a significant portfolio of public projects, some
of which have succeeded whereas others have failed. The research design used was
descripto-explanatory which allowed a detailed description and analysis of the
variables under study; describing and presenting their characteristics and explaining
their relationships without manipulation. The target population composed of 60
employees from five different departments within NHC headquarters, of which the
researcher conducted a census. The study used questionnaires as the primary research
instrument. The data was coded as per the objectives to give distinct differences and
multivariate regression done to look at the relationship of the variables. Presentation
also was done through their calculated mean, frequency, standard deviation and the
correlation analysis of the data collected. The study found that indeed various
procurement practices influence performance of construction projects in NHC. The
supplier selection was found to reduce conflict of interest between the suppliers and
management of the organization and in the process influence productivity of the staff.
The study further revealed that that contract monitoring and control reduce risks and
triggers off an effort to search for solutions to the identified threats to the project
success. The study concluded that to a great extent the performance of construction
projects is being influenced by adoption of procurement practices, the study
recommended that NHC resources need to be more utilized so as to enable more
development and less wastage in the company, NHC should handle on the issue of
conflict of interest from the management and the outsiders when dealing with the
supplier selection and project implementation section. However, the NHC also need to
advance more on the policies regarding the quality of construction projects so as to
ensure quality projects are achieved at the long run which is beneficial to the company.

In this study, a solid state processing tool for microstructure modification and
material properties enhancement; friction stir processing (FSP) was applied on the
surface of as-cast Al-Si-Cu-Ni aluminium alloy. Samples were subjected to FSP using
fixed tool rotation speed 1400 rpm and traverse speed 42 mm/min, with tool angle tilted
3˚.The influence of the FSP on the microstructure and tensile properties of the cast AlSi-Cu-Ni alloy samples were studied. Microstructural evolution of the samples was
investigated using optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM),
tensile test carried out at 1 mm/min cross-head speed. The results showed that FSP
improved the tensile strength of the samples by decreasing particles size and porosity.
FSP improved the alloy strength by about 54%.

Investors can choose to invest in the real investment sector or in the financial
sector. The decision to choose the investment sector is mainly determined by the amount
of return (return) generated and the risk (risk) that will be received by investors due to the
investment. Theoretically the risks and returns received from an investment will go hand
in hand. The higher the rewards expected to be received, the greater the risk that investors
will receive. Fama (1970) classified information into three types, namely; (i) oast price
change (past price changes), (ii) public information (publicly available information) and
(iii) public and private information (good information available to the public and not).
The efficient market hypothesis has been widely tested and, with the data in a wide
variety of markets and variety result. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we seem to
be entering a stage where widely scattered and as yet incohesive evidence is arising which
seems to be inconsistent with the theory. Daily observations are taken for the period
January 2017 to December 2017 on LQ-45 at IDX. Autocorrelation, Ljung-Box Qstatistic Test, to test the hypothesis that the stock market follows a random walk. Daily
returns are not normally distributed, because they are negatively skewed and leptokurtic.
In aggregate we concluded that the daily prices do not follows random walks in LQ-45
IDX. The investors can take the stream of benefits through arbitrage process from
profitable opportunities across these markets.

Since their unearthing in the mid 1990's, Stem Cells have carried with them
the promise of developmental, significant scientific and medicinal research. Likewise,
it has the prospect that possessed the possibility of enhancing treatments for a host of
diseases. These „super cells‟ have a key clinical prospect in tissue repair, with its
adherers believing that they symbolizes the future relief or cure of varieties of common
disabilities; substitute of faulty cells in a patient through transplantation of hES
cell‐derived equivalent which could help restore normal function. Those who seek to
curtail the use of certain stem cell lines, revert to the argument that has defined many
medical centric debates over the previous decades. The argument, the destruction of
human life to create life, is the stalwart philosophical point that all anti-stem cell
advocates attempt to make. The purpose of this discussion is to engage in an analysis of
the various aspects of the ethical debate relating to the use of stem cells in medical
research.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.9.5
The term “developed country” is synonymous to “industrialized country,
post-industrial country, more developed country, advanced country, and first-world
country.” The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, and the
United States of America are only a few of those considered as developed countries. A
developing country, on the other hand, is one that has a low level of industrialization. It
has a higher level of birth and death rates than developed countries. Its infant mortality
rate is also high due to poor nutrition, shortage of medical services, and little
knowledge on health. The citizens of developing countries have a low to medium
standard of living because their per capita income is still developing, and their
technological capacity is still being developed. There is also an unequal distribution of
income in developing countries, and their factors of production are not fully utilized.
Developing countries are also referred to as third-world countries or least-developed
countries.

The foot anthropometric data provides highly important information for anatomist, forensic scientist, physical anthropologist, health science, sports science &medical science professionals and also footwear industrial personals. The appropriate use of foot anthropometry data may aid in individual identification, assessment of health status, comfort and safety. The anthropometric variations not only depend on genetic inheritance, but also differs based on environment, geographical demarcations, ethnicities and cultures. Though some of the foot anthropometric studies are carried out in Malaysian population, but still a comprehensive foot anthropometry data among undergraduate students in Malaysia is limited. The study included 227 undergraduate students of AIMST University. Their age ranged from 18-25 years, with Malaysian citizenship. The data collection procedures followed was in accordance with the ethical standards of AIMST University committee. The FL measurements were carried out using digital sliding calliper (Mitutoyo, ABSOLUTE, Model No. CD-12” PSX, Serial No.0051322) with standard procedures and techniques. The FL measurement values were recorded in the nearest millimetre. All data were analyzed with SPSS trial version 22. The Independent T-test was used to analyze the difference in foot length between the right foot and the left foot of each gender. The socio-demographic data and the foot dimensions of the participants were described with descriptive analysis. The results showed that there were no significant differences between right foot length (FLR) with left foot length (FLL) in male feet but a significant different of right foot length (FLR) with left foot length (FLL) in female feet. The study showed no significant bilateral foot asymmetry in male foot but a significant bilateral foot asymmetry in female foot. The anthropometric data obtained in this particular study will not only help to establish the individual profile of the university student but also it will be of great value in practical applications and for further studies in this field.

Glycated Hemoglobin (Hb A1c) is now used largely for DM control. Hb A1c is
influenced by many risk factors; these include BMI, physical activity, age, ethnicity, diet
and smoking. The determinants of Hb A1cvalues in Sudanese have not been studied
despite their utmost value in DM control. The objective of this study is to evaluate age,
gender and body mass index as determinants of glycated hemoglobin in non-diabetic
Sudanese population. A cross sectional study was conducted during 2016-2018 in Sudan
covering Khartoum state, Northern state, Gezira state, Red Sea state and North Darfur
state, on adults of ages between 20-60 years and not known to be diabetic or suffering
from any chronic illness.1097 participants were assessed by a questionnaire covering
age, gender and other demographic and social characteristics. BMI was calculated after
measuring weight and height by standard scales. A sample of 5 ml venous blood was
taken for FBG to exclude DM and measurement of Hb A1c using a modified ELISA
reader known as Cobas Integra 800 (Roch) machine. Correlations between the variables
were estimated and P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. There is a
positive correlation between HbA1c and gender; female subjects had higher values than
male subjects. The mean of HbA1c in females was 4.6 ±0.9 % which was more than the
mean in males 4.5 ±1.0 % with significant p value of 0.03. There are slight differences in
HbA1c levels between the age groups, the oldest (more than 50 years) having the lowest
values (4.4%) and those with group of age between 35-50 years have the highest value
(4.7%). HbA1c levels were found to be higher (4.8%) in those having BMI more than 30.
There was no significant correlation between HbA1 c; age, weight and BMI (r =.009,
.010, =-.032) and the p values were 0.7, 0.7 , 0.33.respectively . There was intermediate
correlation between HbA1c and Height (r) =0.13 with significant p value of 0.00. This
study showed significant higher HbA1c levels in females compared to males. Age and
BMI have no significant effect on the HbA1c levels in Sudanese population but there was
a significant correlation with height.

According to (Bayt.com, 2015); the largest recruitment site in the Middle
East and North Africa (MENA), A percentage of (14%) of Jordanian employees are very
satisfied with their work, (25%) are somewhat satisfied, and (33%) are a bit dissatisfied,
while (28%) are very dissatisfied with their work. Meanwhile, because the economic
status in Jordan is critical, and the cost of living is very high, decision makers and
managers of Jordanian organisations have to pay their full attention in making their
employees their most valuable asset. While they have to focus on developing workers’
diverse skills and realise these skills by enrolling employees in training courses that
meet their interests and needs. In addition, In Jordan, HRM has not received big
attention yet. To address some of the common practices occurs by HR department in
organisations of Jordan. (Bhatia 2016) mentioned that no opportunity is given to an
employee to express his / her development needs. Unplanned employee development
exists because training manager nominates employees with no formal procedure to fillin training requirements and analytical skills and capabilities gaps. All this leads to,
money and efforts waste. This article explains the use of exploratory factor analysis in
extracting factors of Human Resource Management Constructs (Motivation, Training
and Development, Working Conditions, Performance Appraisal) and the factors of Job
Satisfaction Construct. The quantitative study collected information on the participants’
perceptions towards multimodal forms in digital contents as well as uncover their
opinions on why they want to access and use digital content.
