Corporate Income Tax Return is a letter containing evidence of annual tax payments deposited by Corporate Taxpayers. Furthermore, proof of tax payment from the Income Tax Return must be reported to the Director General of Taxes. Then, the right alternative for reporting income tax returns is the Serpong tax consultant, because it is easier and more practical.    The Annual Income Tax Return, hereinafter referred to as the Annual Income Tax Return, applies to a tax year or part of a tax year. The Annual Income Tax Return that must be reported annually or at the end of the tax year period is divided into two types, namely the Individual Annual Return (consisting of 3 types of forms) and the Corporate Return. Annual Income Tax Return (SPT) is a form used by taxpayers to report the calculation and / or payment of income tax, income tax objects, not income tax objects, assets and liabilities. As is known that the Tax Collection System in Indonesia uses the Self Assessment System where, the process of registering, calculating, paying and reporting Taxes is all done by the Taxpayer, so that taxpayers must report themselves to obtain an NPWP if they have met the objective and subjective requirements, taxpayers must calculate the tax to be paid in accordance with the taxpayer's business activities, taxpayers must pay the tax that should be paid by paying themselves to the State Treasury (through the Post Office or Perception Bank), and Tax Withholding / Collection by other parties and taxpayers must report all business activities in Periodic and Annual Tax Returns (SPT) according to actual conditions. For Corporate Income Tax Return must be reported at the latest on April 30th of the following tax year, so that taxpayers must immediately make and calculate their taxes from an early age, so that later there will be no errors in payment or reporting.

Authors: Alsaggaf Doaa H , Aljohani Salha R
Published: March 2024

Aim: To investigate the perception of dental caries risk and prevention among patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and to assess the influence of the oral hygiene information attained during orthodontic visits on patients’ perception of dental caries prevention.
Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire gathered information from 207 orthodontic patients (aged 18 and older). The questionnaire included questions about patients’ demographics, perception of dental caries risk and prevention during orthodontic treatment, and oral hygiene information received in orthodontic visits. Frequency distributions of responses were evaluated. Chi-square test was used to assess the differences in patients’ perception of dental caries prevention by demographics, and the oral hygiene information received during orthodontic appointments.
Results: 74.9% of orthodontic patients perceived to be responsible for dental caries during orthodontic treatment, and 30.4% of patients perceived that it is abnormal to develop dental caries during treatment. Patients receiving information about tooth brushing methods and oral hygiene accessories during orthodontic appointments had a better perception of appropriate oral hygiene in preventing dental caries (P= 0.01 and P= 0.04, respectively). Moreover, patients receiving dietary information during orthodontic appointments had a better perception of supporting a good diet and avoiding sweets in preventing dental caries (P< 0.001 and P= 0.02, respectively).
Conclusion: There is a need to improve orthodontic patients’ perception of their risk of dental caries during orthodontic treatment and the manners that would help to avoid new decay lesions. Orthodontists should not underestimate the value of providing and reinforcing oral hygiene instructions throughout the course of orthodontic treatment.

Authors: Jagadheeswari Ramamoorthy , Manisha
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND  When there is significant caries or trauma to the maxillary anterior teeth, pulp therapy procedures are frequently recommended as the best-case selection for the child's overall health. AIM  To study the prevalence and etiology of anterior teeth pulpectomy in children less than 6 years of age Materials and Method  The data of children who had undergone pulpectomy were retrieved from dental OPD information retrieved from the Department of Pedodontics Archiving Software. The collected data was tabulated in SPSS version 23.0 for statistical analysis. Results In this study, 22.34% of patients who underwent anterior pulpectomy were 3 years of age, 40.60% of patients were 4 years of age and 37.06% of patients were 5 years of age. 87.06% of anterior pulpectomy was done in the upper anterior. 57.89% of patients who had undergone anterior pulpectomy were males and 42.11% were females. The prevalence of anterior pulpectomy was more in males than females. The most common cause of anterior pulpectomy was Trauma, with a prevalence of 58.6% followed by caries, with a prevalence of 41.4%.  Conclusion  Children 4 and older had the highest frequency of anterior tooth pulpectomies. Compared to lower anterior teeth, children's upper anterior teeth had seen a higher number of pulpectomies. Compared to females, male children underwent more pulpectomies on their anterior teeth. Among both age groups, trauma was found to be the most frequent cause of anterior teeth pulpectomy, followed by dental caries.
Pulpotomy v/s pulpectomy in 6 to 9 years old children
Authors: Neha Sharma , Trophimus J
Published: March 2024

Background: The main goal of pulp treatment is to preserve the health and integrity of the oral tissues. Early primary tooth loss can result in malocclusion and temporary or permanent issues with appearance, phonetics, and function. While it is desirable to try to maintain pulp vitality wherever possible, the pulp can be completely removed without seriously impairing the tooth's ability to function.
 
Aim: To compare the prevalence of pulpectomy and pulpotomy procedures done in 6 to 9 years old children
 
Materials and method: The study was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis, evaluating dental outpatient records and analyzing data from 86,000 patients between June 2020 and April 2021 to collect case records of 6 to 9-year-old children undergoing pulpectomy and pulpotomy procedures. We selected children between the ages of 6 and 9 who underwent pulpectomy and pulpotomy procedures. Using the SPSS software, the data was compiled followed by statistical analysis.
 
Results: Of the total number of children screened, about 96% of the patients between 6-9 years of age underwent pulpectomy whereas the remaining 4% underwent pulpotomy. Of these patients, 56% of them were males and about 44% of them were females. About 75% of these pulpectomy procedures were performed in posterior teeth whereas only 25% of them were done in anterior teeth
 
Conclusion: From this study it can be concluded that in a university setting, pulpectomy was most predominantly performed in children of 6-9 years of age and the most commonly involved teeth were the posteriors.

James G. Blaine
Authors: Crapol Edward P.
Published: March 2024

In James G. Blaine: Architect of Empire, author Edward P. Crapol assesses Blaine's role as an architect of empire and revisits the ambitious imperialistic goals of this two-time secretary of state. Crapol examines Blaine's pivotal role in shaping American foreign relations and looks at some of the underlying reasons why the U.S. acquired an overseas empire at the turn of the century.

This text will acquaint readers with how Blaine sought to win global economic supremacy and intended to transform the U.S. into the world's number one power. The book also lends insight into Blaine's efforts to spark energetic governmental action in revitalizing the merchant marine, building a first-class navy, using the coercive tactic of reciprocity, achieving unilateral control of an isthmian canal, and creating U.S. political and economic hegemony in the hemisphere. In addition, James G. Blaine: Architect of Empire takes a serious look at Blaine the Anglophobe and anti-British nationalist who defined Great Britain as the U.S.'s primary global rival and the chief obstacle to American economic and political dominance in Latin America and the Pacific. Finally, Crapol looks at Blaine as the transitional figure who helped forge the economic expansionist mentality that underpinned the late nineteenth-century burst of imperialism. James G. Blaine is an excellent resource for scholars and students interested in America's imperial past and the figures who played key roles in America's global economic development.
A Social History of Mexico's Railroads
Authors: Van Hoy Teresa
Published: March 2024

Largely absent from our history books is the social history of railroad development in nineteenth-century Mexico, which promoted rapid economic growth that greatly benefited elites but also heavily impacted rural and provincial Mexican residents in communities traversed by the rails. In this beautifully written and original book, Teresa Van Hoy connects foreign investment in Mexico, largely in railroad development, with its effects on the people living in the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico's region of greatest ethnic diversity. Students will be drawn to a fascinating cast of characters, as muleteers, artisans, hacienda peons, convict laborers, dockworkers, priests, and the rural police force (rurales) join railroad regulars in this rich social history. New empirical evidence, some drawn from two private collections, elaborates on the huge informal economy that supported railroad development. Railroad officials sought to gain access to local resources such as land, water, construction materials, labor, customer patronage, and political favors. Residents, in turn, maneuvered to maximize their gains from the wages, contracts, free passes, surplus materials, and services (including piped water) controlled by the railroad. Those areas of Mexico suffering poverty and isolation attracted public investment and infrastructure. A Social History of Mexico's Railroads is the dynamic story of the people and times that were changed by the railroads and is sure to engage students and general readers alike.

Social Justice for the Oppressed
Authors: Orelus Pierre Wilbert
Published: March 2024

This book draws from interviews conducted with prominent social justice educators and activist intellectuals, such as Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Stuart Hall, Henry Giroux, Antonia Darder, Molefi Asante, and Maxine Greene, to examine various forms of social inequities occurring in schools and society perpetrated by those in power. These educators and intellectuals use examples drawn from both personal and professional experiences and relevant literature to point out the manner in which multiple forms of oppression intersect, in both hidden and visible ways, to affect the lives of oppressed groups and disfranchised communities. This book seeks to shed light on various manifestations of social injustices aiming to inspire critical, radical thoughts for socio-political action leading to educational and social change.

Super-Charged Learning
Authors: Giordano Richard J.
Published: March 2024

Anyone wishing to improve his/her learning will benefit from Super-Charged Learning, but it is especially intended for parents of K-12 children. What parents know about their children is what should make them critical players for their children. “Put the hay down where the goats can get it.” That’s what parents do best . . . because they know their “goats” best.

Knowing how to apply life-experiences to learning is what Super-Charged Learning is about. Parents know their children’s experiences. They can show them how to use these experiences to learn. It’s about resorting to nonsense, silliness, absurdity, and goofy things! It’s about wacky thinking! ‘Think children don’t like these?!

Super-Charged Learning uses the skill-sets that elite athletes use to be champions! Now parents can show their children how to use these to be champions . . . in their academics.

Athletes want to be bigger-faster-stronger. Make your child that kind of learner: learn bigger quantities of information, learn faster, hold onto what’s learned longer.

Young and old . . . it works for everyone!
How to Become Data Literate
Authors: Carroll Susan Rovezzi , Carroll David J.
Published: March 2024

In this follow up to Statistics Made Simple for School Leaders Carroll and Carroll have provided an updated, easy to comprehend, manual for practitioners. Now more than ever, educators are being held accountable by taxpayers, students, parents, government officials and the business community for supportable documentation of educational results. Data management has become everyone’s job and everyone’s concern. But the regression of data has exposed a raw nerve. The lack of comfort that many educators have in working with data poses a great challenge as school districts make the transition from a data rich to an information rich environment. How to Become Data Literate is the solution. Educators need the ability to formulate and answer questions using data as part of evidence-based thinking, selecting and using appropriate data tools, interpreting information from data, evaluating evidence-based differences, using data to solve real problems and communicating solutions. This book is intended to be a user-friendly, educator’s primer. It will leave the reader with the confident attitude that “I can do this." In the long run, it is intended to underscore the magnificence of data. Decisions based on excellent data produce meaningful action strategies that benefit students, parents, staff, and the community at large.
Reclaiming the Fire
Authors: Mayes Clifford , Grandstaff Mark , Fidyk Alexandra
Published: March 2024

This book examines six psychological and spiritual giants that were working a half century ago whose insights are as powerful today as they were then—perhaps even more so given the current corporate agenda to standardize education and thereby take the soul out of it. Indeed, it is precisely because we are so aware of the impossible demands placed upon teachers these days, which overtax already valiantly devoted and terribly overworked teachers and which also continue to ignore the fact that the problems children face are not a product of our schools but of our society at large—that the authors have written this book. This book will help you renew your noble sense of mission so that, even in these trying times for teachers, you will feel more fulfilled in all that you accomplish, will discover ways to renew your vision of yourself as a teacher despite all the grossly and unjustly negative things that are said about teachers, and will find new ways of continue in your extremely important work.
Understanding the Whole Student
Authors: Mayes Clifford , Cutri Ramona Maile , Goslin Neil , Montero Fidel
Published: March 2024

Understanding the Whole Student presents a holistic approach to multicultural educational issues by viewing them in terms of the student as a physical, psychosocial, cognitive, ethical, and spiritual being. Conversely, these levels of a student's being cannot be seen apart from the student's cultural identities. This unique book demonstrates that, in a pluralistic democracy, good teaching and deep learning must be multicultural and must look at the student as a whole being, not just as a future worker in a transnational corporate economy as is currently the case with both neo-liberal and neo-conservative programs for 'reform.' The authors contend that good education is, and must be, multicultural in order to gain a deeper perspective on issues under analysis in the classroom through the sharing and negotiating of many different cultural perspectives.
Writing and Understanding Poetry for Teachers and Students
Authors: Keyworth Suzanne , Robison Cassandra
Published: March 2024

Grounded in craft, this book was composed on three premises: That the study and modeling of great poems is integral to understanding poetry and learning to write poems, that scaffolded learning builds a writer’s and a reader’s confidence and knowledge base and increases learning, and that teachers and facilitators of poetry can and should build learning environments we call “our hearts in a safe place.” Each chapter contains an introduction to a main focus, new terms, a model poem, an explication, short prompts heuristic to each chapter’s focus, and a model exercise. Student poem samples are included in each chapter. The last chapter discusses syllabi, portfolios and alternate grading. A Heart’s Craft differs from other poetry” how to books” because it combines art with pedagogy in a unique and effective fashion.

What They Didn't Teach You in American History Class
Authors: Henry Mike
Published: March 2024

For the average person, most of the American history that he or she knows comes from facts taught to them in school to prepare them for their state mandated tests. That's not the fault of their teachers who were just carrying out the directives of their employers. But it's also a fact that a great deal of that content that they were teaching is dry and boring. However, as in every aspect of life, there is always another story behind each major event. The story of America is interesting and exciting, but it's those lesser known parts of our history that make it special.

Even though in most cases, the names and events in the book will be recognizable, most of the stories about them will be new to the reader. If you're a young teacher, perhaps you'll find some material to help you get through those less-than-exciting areas of your textbook. If you hated history as a student, maybe you'll find some of these tales entertaining. For those of you who are history buffs, hopefully you'll come across a few things that are new to you.

Authors: Conley Amy K.
Published: March 2024

Growth mindset, recognition, mastery, purpose, emotional connection, intrinsic motivation, and metacognition: there is more to teaching literacy and children than books and lined paper. Research in positive psychology from the last 20 years can be translated to classroom practice. Each chapter summarizes the research and then works to make it applicable to the classroom, with charts of ideas based on age, examples of effective teacher talk, and stories and explanations from both practitioners and researchers.
The Once and Future Church Collection
Authors: Mead Loren B.
Published: March 2024

In 1991 The Once and Future Church by Alban Institute founder and former director Loren B. Mead created an instant sensation in congregational circles with its prophetic insights into the life of the church in a post-Christendom era. Still often-quoted and in demand, the book stands as Alban's all-time best seller. Two subsequent titles, Transforming Congregations for the Future and Five Challenges for the Once and Future Church, extended Mead's original vision with similar success. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the publication of The Once and Future Church, Alban released all three of these books as a single, special edition hardcover. In addition to these classic texts in beautiful, newly designed formats, this collection features an interview with Loren Mead discussing how his views have changed since the books' first publications and his current thoughts on directions for the church in the twenty-first century. This hardcover volume is the perfect gift for graduating seminary students, new congregational leaders, or for pastors whose original editions of these three books may be dog-eared or missing--and a wonderful addition to every church library. All who love the church and pray for the future of our congregations will value this opportunity to have Loren Mead's seminal works in a single, long-lived edition.
The Postmodern Parish
Authors: Kitchens Jim
Published: March 2024

Many of us who are pastors of local mainline churches have long felt that something is amiss in the life of our congregations. It's hard for us to name exactly what is wrong, but occasionally we are aware of a nagging sense that something is just not working any more. . . . Our best efforts at ministry feel like they’re about a half beat behind some new pulse beginning to course through the culture, writes author Jim Kitchens. Congregational leaders who recognize Kitchens' description of congregational life today will appreciate his pointed and realistic analysis of fundamental shifts in ministry that have taken place in our postmodern, post-Christian, and postdenominational world. Kitchens also demonstrates that we need to create a different sort of church if we are to be faithful to the gospel in this new cultural setting. He addresses in detail how these contextual shifts invite us to change our ministry in four arenas of congregational life: worship, Christian formation, mission, and leadership. Kitchens shows congregational leaders how to learn how to be the body of Christ in ways that will be both faithful to the Gospel and responsive to our newly emerging cultural context.
