Accounting for foreign currency transactions is an important aspect in the scope of corporate finance, especially in the context of business globalization. PSAK 10 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards) regulates this aspect and provides guidelines on how companies should account for transactions in foreign currencies as well as related financial reporting. This research explores the implementation of PSAK 10 in preparing financial reports, with a focus on foreign currency transactions. In PSAK 10, companies are directed to use the foreign currency exchange rate on the transaction date to measure transactions in foreign currency. In addition, significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates after the transaction date are also taken into account and recognized as exchange gain or loss. A deep understanding of the application of these provisions is crucial so that financial reports accurately reflect the company's financial position. Through literature research and analysis of accounting practices, this article investigates how companies effectively manage foreign currency risks and present relevant and reliable information in their financial reports. A comparison between the methods used by companies in implementing PSAK 10 and best practices in the industry is explained to provide a comprehensive picture. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide in-depth insight into the challenges, opportunities and best policies in dealing with foreign currency transactions based on PSAK 10. The practical implications of compliance with this standard, as well as the potential impact on corporate financial decisions, will also be reviewed. With a better understanding of foreign currency transaction accounting, companies are expected to improve the quality and credibility of their financial reports in an ever-expanding global market.

The purpose of this discussion is to find out the thoughts of educational sociologists Emile Durkheim, Aguste Comte, Max Weber, Karl Max, and George Simmel regarding Islamic education. This discussion uses the library research method using data sources from journals and books related to the discussion theme. The research results showed that educational sociology figures such as Emile Durkheim, Aguste Comte, Max Weber, Karl Max, and George Simmel were sociological figures from the classical era. Emile Durkheim pioneered the development of sociology through research on societal institutions and social processes as well as his thoughts on Islamic education. Aguste Comte stated that sociology must be based on observation, comparison, experiments and historical methods. Max Weber, he introduced the vestehen (understanding) approach, which consists of exploring the values, beliefs, goals and attitudes that guide people's behavior which gives rise to social behavior. Karl Max stated that sociology can be used as a weapon to liberate society from the capitalist system so that a classless society can be achieved, and according to George Simmel society is a process that is ongoing and continuously developing. So, the thoughts of sociological figures regarding education are that schools cannot be separated from society, cooperation between schools and community figures needs to be formed, the child socialization process needs to be improved so that children are able to grow and develop in society.

The purpose of this observation is to determine the impact of acquisitions on the financial performance of companies that implement acquisition strategies listed on the IDX. To assess a company's financial performance, comparisons are usually used, including: Comparison of current assets with current debt, comparison of total debt with total assets, and comparison of net profit after tax with sales. The literature review method is applied in this observation which is carried out by reviewing the results of past observations that are in line with this topic, but there are inconsistent outcomes. Observations applied by (Utari, Asriany, and Hamid 2022) which state that in acquiring companies they must be able to assess the financial performance of target companies so that the risk of loss will be reduced. While the observations applied by (Firdaus and Dara 2020) provide information that there is no change in the company's financial performance after the acquisition, the company's financial performance remains stable between pre and post acquisition. Based on this explanation, this observation was chosen to determine the impact of acquisitions on the financial performance of companies with acquisition strategies listed on the IDX.

Indonesia's legal system continues to be predominantly influenced by modern laws introduced by European countries, creating a distinctive character within the Indonesian legal framework. The familial nature of Indonesia's legal system tends to prioritize form over substance, paying less attention to moral aspects. This raises issues related to the imbalance of humanitarian values within the legal system. Despite its status as an independent and sovereign nation, Indonesia still grapples with cases of dishonesty and ethical violations in law enforcement. Therefore, this research aims to compare the judicial systems of Indonesia and Malaysia using a normative legal research method. The comparison reveals the complexity and uniqueness of legal development in both countries. Indonesia, inheriting Dutch civil law, has a court structure that separates general, religious, administrative, and military jurisdictions. In contrast, Malaysia, blending English law with Islamic and customary law, demonstrates strong diversification in court forms and jurisdictions. These differences reflect legal adaptations to history, culture, and the needs of local communities. While both systems have strengths and weaknesses, there is room for improvement in terms of dispute resolution efficiency and jurisdictional clarity.

This study focuses on solving the green economic load dispatch problem by considering the presence of green energy sources, including wind energy and solar power plants. The main objective function of the whole study is to minimize the total fuel cost (TFC) of all the thermal generating sources (TGSs) in the system. Moreover, the multiple selection of all TGSs is also evaluated. Fire hawk optimization (FHO) and the Zebra optimization algorithm (ZOA) are applied to solve the problem of achieving the best TFC value and satisfying all the constraints involved. The results indicated that ZOA can achieve a better optimal solution compared to FHO. Particularly, the results obtained by ZOA are completely superior to FHO in all comparison criteria at two load demand levels, such as Best TFC value (Best.Cost), Average TFC value (Aver.Cost), and Maximum TFC value (Max.Cost). On top of that, ZOA is the only algorithm of two applied ones providing the fast convergence capability to the optimal value of the main objective functions in two cases of load demand levels. Therefore, ZOA is an efficient search method to deal with such GELD problems.
