Telaah Kesesuaian Lks Akuntansi untuk SMA dengan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan 2013

LKS akuntansi untuk SMA merupakan bahan ajar utama yang digunakan oleh guru dalam pembelajaran akuntansi di SMA. Studi ini diperlukan karena selama ini LKS akuntansi untuk SMA yang digunakan yang disusun oleh MGMP akuntansi di Boyolali dan Sukoharjo sejak tahun 90 an tidak pernah direvisi. Sedangkan Standar akuntansi keuangan (SAK), sebagai acuan yang digunakan Perusahaan untuk mencatat dan melaporkan transaksi keuangannya, telah mengalami perbaikan berulang-ulang. Terakhir, SAK telah mengalami revisi tahun 2013. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah LKS akuntansi untuk SMA sesuai dengan standar akuntansi terkini. Metode yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah content analysis, perbandingan antara SAK edisi tahun 2013 dan LKS akuntansi SMA di kab Boyolali dan Sukoharjo. Dimulai dengan menelaah isi (content analysis) LKS akuntansi SMA Sukoharjo dan Boyolali kemudian dibandingkan dengan SAK 2013. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan beberapa ketidaksesuaian antara isi LKS akuntansi dengan standar akuntansi

The objective of this research is to improve the learning achievement in Accounting of the students in Grade XI of Social Science Program 4 of Senior Secondary School X through the application of the Direct Instruction learning model with the concept mapping media.This research used the classroom action research. The subjects of the research were the students as many as 39, 23 females and 16 males, in Grade XI of Social Science Program 4 of Senior Secondary School X. The data of the research consisted of the qualitative and quantitative ones. The sources of the data were the accounting teachers and the aforementioned students. The data were gathered through observation, in-depth interview, test, and documentation. They were validated by using data source triangulation and data gathering method triangulation. The quantitative data were analyzed by using the descriptive comparative statistical analysis, whereas the qualitative ones were analyzed by using the interactive model of analysis comprising three components, namely: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The procedures of the research consisted of seven phases, namely: (1) problem introduction, (2) action preparation, (3) action plan arrangement, (4) action implementation, (5) observation and interpretation, (6) reflection, and (7) report arrangement. The result of the research shows that the application of the direct instruction learning model with the concept mapping media can improve the learning achievement in Accounting as proven by the improved achievement of their learning result. Prior to the treatment, the number of students who fulfilled the minimal completeness criteria is 11 students (28%), and that of students who did fulfill the minimal completeness criteria is 28 students (72%) with the class average score of 64.97. In Cycle I, following the treatment the number of the students who fulfilled the minimal completeness criteria becomes 29 students (73%), and that of students who did not fulfill the minimal completeness criteria becomes 10 students (27%) with the class average score of 80.84. In Cycle II, the number of students who fulfilled the minimal completeness criteria is 39 students (100%) with class average score of 89.84.Based on the result of the research, a conclusion is drawn that the application of the direct instruction learning model with the concept mapping media can improve the learning achievement in Accounting of the students in Grade XI of Social Science Program 4 of Senior Secondary School X

The impacts of monsoon and dry seasons on physical water quality changes and farmed Asian seabass Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790) mortality at Sri Tujuh lagoon, Tumpat, Kelantan, Malaysia

This study aimed to monitor the water quality in Sri Tujuh lagoon during monsoon and dry seasons, as well as the impact of the two seasons on the production of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer). The water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, conductivity, turbidity and total dissolved solid of Sri Tujuh lagoon were assessed using water samples collected from 13 sampling points at 1ft, 4ft and 7ft water depth during dry season (March-August 2014) and monsoon (September-November 2014). Fish mortality was recorded from Asian seabass farmers in the lagoon. Water quality data during dry seasoon and monsoon was compared using T-Test and data from 3 different depths was analysed by using One Way Anova followed by Tukey test at p < 0.05. The water parameters in dry season, monsoon season, combination of dry and monsoon season were subjected to Pearson correlation analysis separately and a matrix was tabulated. Water parameters were also subjected to cluster analysis by using Ward’s method with squared Euclidean distances as a measure of similarity. In the present study Ward’s method was used ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc in order to minimize the sum of squares. The result was represented by a dendrogram. The findings of the present study showed water parameters such as DO, salinity and turbidity were significantly different between dry and monsoon seasons. However no significant difference was found in term of fish mortality. The water parameters of Sri Tujuh lagoon during the study were as follow: temperature 29.4-33.3 oC; pH 7.0-9.3; DO 0.8-6.8 mg L -1 ; salinity 10.7-31.3 ppt; conductivity 17.5-50.5 µs cm-1 ; turbidity 5.4-59.8 NTU; TDS 23.3-32 ppt. The fish mortality was recorded ranging from 9.3 to 15.5% from March to November, 2014. The positive and significance (p < 0.01) correlation was recorded between temperature and pH (0.434), temperature and DO (0.472), DO and pH (0.315), salinity and pH (0.615), conductivity and pH (0.595), conductivity and salinity (0.992), TDS and pH (0.340), TDS and salinity (0.322) and TDS and conductivity (0.322). Fish mortality showed no correlation with all water parameters changing in the whole study at Sri Tujuh lagoon. Based on the water parameter records from 13 sampling stations, the sampling stations can be divided into 5 clusters. Cluster 1 possesses the greatest number of stations namely S3, S4, S6, S7, S8, S11 and S12 whereas Cluster 2 has S1, S10 and S13. Only one station was found in the Cluster 3 (S5), Cluster 4 (S2) and Cluster 5 (S9). Based on the findings of the present study, Sri Tujuh lagoon can be considered as one of the best places to conduct aquaculture activities in Kelantan

Mobile phone usage in patients with type II diabetes and their intention to use it for self-management: A cross-sectional study in Iran

Background: Mobile health has potential for promotion of self-management in patients with chronic diseases. This study was conducted to investigate smartphone usage in patients with type II diabetes and their intention to use it for self-management. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 with 176 patients with type II diabetes visiting a specialized diabetes clinic or one of two endocrinology and metabolism specialists in north of Iran. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire containing items on demographic characteristics, disease information, use of mobile phones, smartphones and the internet, and intention to use mobile phones for diabetes self-management. Results: The majority of the participants had mobile phones (94.9), smartphones (61.1), and daily access to the internet (81.3), and used phones two hours per day on average (80.1). They mostly used mobile phones to contact friends (89.2) and search for information (50.6), and their greatest intention for using smartphones and the internet for self-management was related to dietary planning (96), checking blood glucose (90.9), and contacting specialists (87.5). Younger participants were more interested in using smartphone applications (apps) (P < 0.001). About half of the participants argued that using apps can be interesting (54) and useful (50) for diabetes management, and intended to use apps much more in future (48.3). Conclusions: The majority of patients with type II diabetes are inclined to use mobile phone and the Internet, especially to plan their diet, check blood glucose, and contact their doctors. The present study provides valuable information for designing and implementing interventions based on mHealth to promote self-management in type II diabetes. © 2020 The Author(s)
