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.

Poetry is one of the essence of Chinese literature and poetry translation is
the most complicated and controversial one in literary translation. Under the theoretical
framework of Halliday's systemic functional grammar, this article analyzes the selected
versions of English translation of the Chinese poem QingMing. We focus especially on
interpersonal metafunction and find that mood and communicative role have
interpersonal significance. This study examines the applicability of the systemic
functional linguistics in poetry translation analysis and puts forward some suggestions
on poetry translation.

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.

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.

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.

Combined with the advantages of Wavelet threshold denoising method and
data fusion technology. A data processing method of thermal measurement based on
wavelet transform and data fusion is proposed. After decomposing the thermal
measurement signal of each measuring point separately by wavelet decomposition, the
high frequency components are first filtered by the threshold noise reduction method,
and then the signal of each measuring point after noise reduction is got by wavelet
reconstructing to reduce the influence of noise, and then , we normalize the signal of
each measuring point, and make the data fusion based on the least mean square of the
normalized measuring points, so as to obtain a better reconstructed signal. The
experimental results show that this method improves the accuracy and reliability of the
measured data and makes the signal features more apparent.

The Concepts of Developed and Developing Countries as Typologies of Societies
Francis Ndlovu
Page no 1076-1078 |
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.
