THE BALANCE SHEET

Financial statements are the final product of the accounting process. They provide information on the financial condition of a company. The balance sheet, one type of financial statement, provides a summary of what a company owns and what it owes on one particular day.

Assets represent everything of value that is owned by a business, such as property, equipment, and accounts receivable. On the other hand, liabilities are the debts that a company owes-for example, to suppliers and banks. If liabilities are subtracted from assets (assets-liabilities) the amount remaining is the owners share of a business. This is known as owners’ or stockholders equity.

One key to understanding the accounting transactions of a business is to understand the relationship of its assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity. This is often represented by the fundamental accounting equation: assets equal liabilities plus owners’ equity.

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS’ EQUITY

These three factors are expressed in monetary terms and therefore are limited to items that can be given a monetary value. The accounting equation always remains in balance; in other words, one side must equal the other.

The balance sheet expands the accounting equation by providing more informa- tion about the assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity of a company at a specific time (for example, on December 31, 1993). It is made up of two parts. The first part lists the company assets, andmthe second part details liabilities and owners’ equity. Assets are divided into current and fixed assets. Cash, accounts receivable and inventories are all current assets. Property, buildings, and equipment make up the fixed assets of a company. The liabilities section of the balance sheet is often divided into current liabilities
(such as bonds and long-term notes).

The balance sheet provides a financial picture of a company on a particular date, and for this reason it is useful in two important areas. Internally, the balance sheet provides managers with financial information for company decisionmaking. Externally, it gives potential investors data for evaluating the company’s financial position.

Sel Punca

Sel punca atau sel induk (stem cell) merupakan sel yang belum berdiferensiasi dan mempunyai potensi untuk dapat berdiferensiasi menjadi jenis sel lain. Kemampuan tersebut memungkinkan sel induk menjadi sistem perbaikan tubuh dengan menyediakan sel-sel baru selama organisme bersangkutan hidup. Sel punca dapat dibilang sebagai sumber dari semua sel di dalam tubuh.
Peneliti medis meyakini bahwa penelitian sel induk berpotensi untuk mengubah keadaan penyakit manusia dengan cara digunakan memperbaiki jaringan atau organ tubuh tertentu. Namun demikian, hal ini tampaknya belum dapat benar-benar diwujudkan dewasa ini.
Sel-sel induk dapat digolongkan berdasarkan potensi yang dimiliki oleh sel tersebut maupun berdasarkan asalnya.

Berdasarkan potensi

Sel induk ber-totipotensi adalah sel induk yang memiliki potensi untuk berdiferensiasi menjadi semua jenis sel. Sel induk bertotipotensi diperoleh dari sel induk embrio, hasil pembuahan sel telur oleh sel sperma.
Sel induk ber-pluripotensi
Sel induk ber-multipotensi
Sel induk ber-unipotensi adalah sel induk yang hanya dapat menghasilkan satu jenis sel tertentu, tetapi memiliki kemampuan memperbarui diri yang tidak dimiliki oleh sel yang bukan sel induk.

Berdasarkan asalnya

Sel induk embrio (embryonal stem cells)

Sel induk ini diambil dari embrio pada fase blastosit (5-7 hari setelah pembuahan). Massa sel bagian dalam mengelompok dan mengandung sel-sel induk embrionik. Sel-sel diisolasi dari massa sel bagian dalam dan dikultur secara in vitro. Sel induk embrional dapat diarahkan menjadi semua jenis sel yang dijumpai pada organisme dewasa, seperti sel-sel darah, sel-sel otot, sel-sel hati, sel-sel ginjal, dan sel-sel lainnya.

Sel induk dewasa (adult stem cells)

Sel induk dewasa mempunyai dua karakteristik. Karakteristik pertama adalah sel-sel tersebut dapat berproliferasi untuk periode yang panjang untuk memperbarui diri. Karakteristik kedua, sel-sel tersebut dapat berdiferensiasi untuk menghasilkan sel-sel khusus yang mempunyai karakteristik morfologi dan fungsi yang spesial.
Salah satu macam sel induk dewasa adalah sel induk hematopoietik (hematopoietic stem cells), yaitu sel induk pembentuk darah yang mampu membentuk sel darah merah, sel darah putih, dan keping darah yang sehat. Sumber sel induk hematopoietik adalah sumsum tulang, darah tepi, dan darah tali pusar.

Struktur Registry

Registry dibagi menjadi beberapa bagian logika. Untuk melakukan navigasi, bagian-bagian tersebut ditampilkan dalam bentuk folder tree, sama seperti yang ada di Windows Explorer. Setiap folder mewakili key tersendiri yang ada dikomputer lokal. Jika mengakses registry melalui komputer secara remote, maka yang muncul hanyalah HKEY_USERS dan HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Semua bagian yang ada di registry selalu diwakili dengan HKEY, yang merupakan kependekan dari dari Handle to Key.

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

    Adalah sub key dari HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. Informasi yang disimpan disini memastikan

sebuah file dibuka dengan program yang tepat saat kita mengaksesnya melalui Windows Explorer.

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER

    Berisi informasi konfigurasi pengguna yang sedang login. Folder, tampilan warna, dan setting Control Panel

    semuanya tersimpan disini. Selain itu, informasi yang ada disini juga dikaitkan dengan profile pengguna.

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

    Berisi konfigurasi umum yang berlaku untuk semua pengguna.

• HKEY_USER

    Berisi profile pengguna yang sedang aktif.

• HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

    Berisi informasi tentang profile hardware yang digunakan oleh komputer lokal saat startup.

Accounting is frequently called the “language of business” because of its ability to communicate financial information abaout an organization. Various interested parties, such as managers, potential investors, creditors, and the government, depend on a company’s accounting system to help them make informed financial decisions. An affective accounting system, therefore, must include accurate collecting, recording, classifying, summarizing, interpreting, and reporting of information on the financial status of an irganization.

Regardless of the type of business or the amount of money involved, common procedures for handling and presenting financial information are used. Incoming money (revenues) and outgoing money (expenditures) are carefully monitored, and transaction are summarized in financial statements, which reflect the major financial activities of an organization.
