Akuntansi memberikan jasa, maksudnya kita harus memanfaatkan sumber-sumber yang ada (misalnya : sumber daya alam, tenaga kerja dan kekayaan keuangan) dengan bijaksana sehingga kita dapat memaksimalkan manfaat bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat, semakin baik system akuntansi yang mengukur dan melaporkan biaya penggunaan sumber daya tersebut, maka akan semakin baik juga keputusan yang diambiluntuk mengalokasikannya. Kedua, akuntansi menyediakan informasi keuangan yang bersifat kuantitatif yang digunakan dalam kaitannya dengan evaluasi kualitatif dalam membuat perhitungan. Berdasarkan beberapa uraian yang telah dijelaskan penulis sebelumnya, maka dapatlah ditarik suatu kesimpulan bahwa Aktiva tetap yang dimiliki oleh Kantor Perpustakaan Daerah PDE dan Arsip Daerah Kabupaten Wakatobi pada dasarnya diperoleh dengan cara pembelian tunai dan Bantuan / hibah dari Pusat, sedangkan akumulasi penyusutan aktiva tetapnya belum ada karena baru dirancang nanti tahun 2014, Pencatatan dan Pengelompokan aktiva tetapnya berdasarkan pada pernyataan Standar Akuntansi pemerintahan (SAP) No. 71 Tahun 2010. Penyajiannya akuntansi tetap, tidak dirasakan atas pertimbangan atau interprestasi masing-masing manajemen tetapi hendaknya berpedoman pada atau pernyataan standar akuntansi pemerintahan, agar laporan keuangan dapat dimengerti dan tidak disalah tafsirkan, serta untuk menghindari kesalahpahaman oleh berbagai pihak berkepentingan. Untuk memperjelas materi pembahasan ini, penulis mengemukakan kelompok aktiva tetap, cara-cara perolehan maupun penentuan harga perolehan masing-masing aktiva tetap tetap yang dimiliki organisasi yang menjadi objek studi, kemudian menghubungkan dengan pernyataan standar akuntansi pemerintahan

Published: April 2024

In the bid to ensure adequate water supply, packaged water has been introduced and widely accepted to provide safe and affordable drinking water in many rural and urban settlements of Nigeria. In spite of the varying levels of contamination widely reported, sachet water is still well accepted. This study therefore assessed social perception of people on the most popular sachet water brands, conducted sensory evaluation, quality certification and packaging and storage quality evaluation of sachet water samples. It also assessed the Physico-chemical and coliforms count of popular brands using standard laboratory procedures. For the study, two study areas; Ikole and Oye Local Government Areas of Ekiti state, Nigeria were selected.Â Eight samples from the popular sachet water brands (four samples per local government areas) were purchased from water vendors and labeled alphabets A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Phoenix-986) was used for the determination of lead, chromium and cadmium in the sample. Data obtained were subjected to simple descriptive statistical analysis. The result revealed that the characteristics of the water samples include 7.4 â€“ 6.7 (pH), 0.04 â€“ 0.1ÂµS/cm (EC), 33.0 â€“ 18.0 mg/L (Chloride), 15.2 â€“ 6.0 mg/L (Calcium), 0.32 â€“ 0.08 mg/L (Nitrate), 16.0 â€“ 4.0 mg/L (Magnesium), 94.0 â€“ 24.0 mg/L (Total Alkalinity), 34.0 â€“ 18.0 mg/L (Sulphate), 70.0 â€“ 30.0 mg/L (Manganese), 40.0 â€“ 10.0 mg/L (Iron), 62.0 â€“ 27.0Â mg/L (Zinc) and with an average coliform count of 18.58 MNP/100ml. The physico-chemical analysis indicated that the average values of the parameters were all below the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) and World Health Organisation (WHO) permissible limits. Bacteriological analysis in terms of total coliform revealed that sample D from Oye local government area showed positive coliform count value of 18.00 Â± 0.58 MPN/100ml making it unfit for portability. The aerobic mesophilic count for sample D from Oye of 2.1 x 102 exceeded the WHO, 1.0x102 permissible limit.

Published: April 2024

The low productivity associated with poultry production in Nigeria can be traced to the various constraints encountered in the production process. This study assessed constraints related to farm operation of poultry production as perceived by farmers in Niger State, Nigeria. Data for this study was collected through the use of structured questionnaire/interview schedule from eighty poultry farmers. This data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics (multiple regression analysis). The result revealed that most of the poultry farmers in the study area were active and energetic with mean age of 38 years, the industry is dominated by male (97.5%) while 61.8% specialised in rearing either broilers or layers. The major production operationÂ information accessed by the farmers were on medication, diseases prevention and control (100 %) and feed formulation (95.0%), while their major sources of information were veterinary/animal health workers (91.5%) and other farmers/neighbours (90.0%). The most severe constraints faced were: Disease ( 12x "> =3.22), inadequate credit facility ( 12x "> =2.88), high cost of medication ( 12x "> =2.16), high cost of feed ( 12x "> =24) etc. The two most important factors affecting poultry farmers output in the study area were cost of medication/treatment and access to extension services significant at 1% and 5%, respectively. It is recommened that extension organizations and veterinary services should provide adequate and timely information regardingÂ prevention and control of diseases to enable poultry farmers overcome their production constraints and optimally make profitÂ

Published: April 2024

This study assessed the impact of catfish pond effluents discharges on the quality of subsurface water where five catfish farms were located. Water samples were taken at depth of 0 â€“ 200 cm and at intervals of 50 cm distance of each water source from neighbouring fishponds. Water quality indicators- pH, Turbidity (TB), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Total alkalinity (TA), Total hardness (TH), Specific conductance (SC), Chloride (Cl), Total nitrogen (TNO3), iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), biological oxygen demand (BOD5) and phosphate (PO4) were measured. The samples were examined in accordance with the standard methods described by the American Public Health Association (APHA). The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results showed that 100% of the water samples tested recorded turbidity levels exceeding the safe limit for drinking water. In 75% of the samples, iron concentration exceeded the recommended limit of 0.3mg/l for drinking water. The pH and manganese levels of water were between 7.70 â€“ 8.10 and 0.11 â€“ 0.12 mg/l respectively and as such are within permissible range of 6.5 â€“ 8.5 and 0.2 mg/l respectively for drinking water. Other parameters except BOD5 did not exceed the recommended limits for drinking water.Â The water quality in swampy areas was significantly higher (p â‰¥0.05) than that of the inter-land. The discharge of catfish pond effluents did not significantly impact water quality for fish production, but it rendered water unsafe for human consumption. The findings indicated that improper discharge of catfish pond effluents into the environment could result into environmental contamination and thus render water unsafe for human consumption. Hence, subsurface water located close to neighbouring fish ponds should be treated before its usage for human consumption.

Authors: Adika O A , Abatan M O 
Published: April 2024

This study focused on Cola acuminata seed effect on semen characteristics and sperm morphology in the male albino rat (wistar strain). Fifteen male Albino rats (Wistar strain) were used for this study weighing between 80g and 120g and aged between 16 and 20 weeks. These rats were randomly assigned to three groups A, B and C. Group A were treated with C. acuminata 500mg/kg, Group B were treated with 1500mg/kg and the Group C served as the control. They were all treated for 14 days. The result showed that the percentage motility of sperm cells for group A (54.0Â±2.45) and B (52.0Â±3.74) were significantly lower (P<0.05) than that forÂ group C Â (94.0Â±1). The percentage motility at group A (54.0Â±2.45) compare to group B (52.0Â±3.74) was not significant (P>0.05). The sperm count for group A (74.8Â±2.97 Ã— 106 sperm cells/ml) and group B (67.8Â±1.32 Ã— 10 6 sperm cells/ml) were significantly lower (P<0.05) than for group C (137.8Â±4.176 Ã— 106 sperm cells/ml). The mean percentage liveability followed the pattern as sperm motility, where Group A (97.4 Â± 0.6) and B (96.8 Â± 0.73) were significantly lower (P<0.05) than the group C value (97.4 Â± 0.6). The Testicular histopathological study revealed moderate necrosis with a few of numerous seminiferous tubules showing mild loss of the basal germinal epithelium andÂ the seminiferous tubules having lesser cellularity than would be expected and variably sized when compared to the control. Based on the study,it can be concluded that the consumption of C. acuminata seed has a deleterious effect on sperm characteristics and sperm morphology.

This study examined the effect of dumpsites on ground and surface water qualities. Study water samples were collected at selected zones and designated as A, B and C for both the ground and surface water respectively. Leachates were collected at dumpsites in the zones. Physicochemical properties of samples examined were pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Turbidity (TD), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sulphate (SO4), Chloride (Cl), and Nitrate NO3) concentration. Physical and chemical properties of samples were determined in accordance with the American Public Health Association (APHA) standards. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings indicated that the ground and surface water that were closer to dumpsites had EC; 385Sd/cm and 245 Sd/cm; TDS; 168 mg/L and 128 mg/L, TD (4.6 NTU and 22 NTU, TA; 103 mg/L and 50 mg/L, TH; 120 mg/L and 80 mg/L, Ca; 44 mg/L and 14 mg/L, Mg; 0.2 mg/L and 15 mg/L, SO4; 4 mg/L and 42 mg/L,Â Cl 38 mg/L and 16 mg/L, NO3; 6 mg/LÂ and 8 mg/L, respectively.Â The ground and surface water that were closer to dumpsites therefore had high elevated physicochemical properties than for those that were far off the dumpsite and were significantly different (p Â 0.05).Â Hence, the closer the groundwater and surface water to dumpsites, the greater the effect of the dumpsite on the water physicochemical properties The concentration of the pH of leachate serves as an indicator for the age and mineralization status of the dumpsites. It influences the other chemical properties of the leachate. The findings indicated that the concentration of the leachate inversely proportional to the concentration of calcium, magnesium and sulphate.

This study examined ICTs use among Agricultural Extension Workers in Imo state, Nigeria. Eighty-five percent of the respondents were sampled using simple random sampling to give a total of one hundred and thirty-two respondents for the study. Data were collected using the Â Â questionnaire that relates to the objectives of the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings of the study revealed that ICT infrastructures were available (60%) to the extension agents. Extension agents have access to radio (89.1%), television (73.3%), computer (9.9%), internet (4%), telephone (79.2%), video (50.5%), e-mail (27.7%), CD-ROM (2%) and printer (8.9%). However, the ICT infrastructure that is mostly utilized by the extension agents on daily basis was the radio (80.2%) with a mean value of 1.91 indicating high usage of radio by the extension agents, This was followed by television (72.3%) with a mean value of 1.89. However, ipod was identified as the least ICT infrastructure being utilized on daily basis by the extension agents. This implies that ipod has not been integrated into the respondentsâ€™ daily activities. This shows that the extension agents have not integrated ICT use in their daily routine (26.7%) and they are not duly trained to access ICT facilities. Hence adequate training and instruction should be given to extension agents on use of ICT facilities on quarterly basis.

Published: April 2024

The study examined the effect of asset ownership on the poverty status of rural households in Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 109 rural households in the study area. The study utilized primary data collected with the aid of well structure questionnaire.Â Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Principal Component Analyses (PCA), Asset Incidence, Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) poverty index, and the logit regression model. Asset Incidence results revealed that transport assets, followed by agricultural production assets, domestic assets and animal assets showed wide gender asset gaps in favor of men while productive assets shows a wide gender asset gap in favor of women.. FGT results showed that 59.6% of the respondents were poor while 40.4% were non poor. The result of the logit regression shows that poverty incidence reduced with asset ownership (p<0.01), and a higher level of income (p<0.01). The study therefore concluded that good percentages of the respondents were poor and that poverty level reduced with ownership of assets and increase in income. The study therefore recommends that rural households be sensitized on the importance of asset ownership and engaged in activities that will increase their incomes
