Analisis Penerapan Sistem Akuntansi Penjualan Kredit Dan Penerimaan Kas Dalam Mendukung Pengendalian Intern Perusahaan (Studi Kasus PT. Smart Tbk Refinery Surabaya)
System of selling credit accounting and system of cash receiving from account receivable is the source of life to achieving company goals. This research on the system of credit sales and cash receipts to support the company internal control. This research was conducted at PT. SMART Tbk Refinery Surabaya. PT. SMART Tbk Refinery Surabaya only selling cooking oil in the form of branded product and trading product on credit. PT. SMART Tbk Refinery Surabaya still has any weakness on system of selling credit accounting and system of cash receiving from account receivable, some of the sales transaction activity that occurred less supportive of the company\u27s internal control. This study aims to provide information to companies about the advantages and weakness of credit sales accounting system and cash receipts that have been applied by the company

Inhibition of the Unfolded Protein Response Mechanism Prevents Cardiac Fibrosis
<div><p>Background</p><p>Cardiac fibrosis attributed to excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins is a major cause of heart failure and death. Cardiac fibrosis is extremely difficult and challenging to treat in a clinical setting due to lack of understanding of molecular mechanisms leading to cardiac fibrosis and effective anti-fibrotic therapies. The objective in this study was to examine whether unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway mediates cardiac fibrosis and whether a pharmacological intervention to modulate UPR can prevent cardiac fibrosis and preserve heart function.</p><p>Methodology/Principal Findings</p><p>We demonstrate here that the mechanism leading to development of fibrosis in a mouse with increased expression of calreticulin, a model of heart failure, stems from impairment of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, transient activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway and stimulation of the TGFβ1/Smad2/3 signaling pathway. Remarkably, sustained pharmacologic inhibition of the UPR pathway by tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is sufficient to prevent cardiac fibrosis, and improved exercise tolerance.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>We show that the mechanism leading to development of fibrosis in a mouse model of heart failure stems from transient activation of UPR pathway leading to persistent remodelling of cardiac tissue. Blocking the activation of the transiently activated UPR pathway by TUDCA prevented cardiac fibrosis, and improved prognosis. These findings offer a window for additional interventions that can preserve heart function.</p></div
