Waste bank management is an important innovation in efforts to maintain environmental sustainability. One approach that is increasingly developing is the application of ecoenzymes in managing waste banks together with the community. Ecoenzymes, as natural bioactivators, have a significant role in accelerating the decomposition process of organic waste, reducing waste and improving compost quality. This research was carried out in the coastal area, Sidamukti Village, Sukaresmi District on February 14 2024. This research aims to evaluate the benefits of ecoenzymes in managing waste banks in collaboration with the community. Participatory/field methods are used to involve activities with the community in the process of collecting, separating and managing waste. The research results show that the application of ecoenzymes can increase composting efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and provide unique works of art from waste management that have economic value. In addition, collaboration with the community involves them actively in the waste management process, increases environmental awareness, and creates a positive impact on environmental cleanliness. Therefore, the implementation of ecoenzymes in managing waste banks with the community provides great ecological and social benefits, supports efforts to maintain environmental sustainability and improves the quality of life of the community.

This study aims to investigate the influence of macroeconomic factors on the performance of the maritime business in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Utilizing a literature review approach, this research analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on maritime businesses and its relationship with macroeconomic factors. Prior to the pandemic, the maritime business experienced stable growth, driven by macroeconomic growth and increasing international trade. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the landscape of the maritime industry by causing a decline in trade volume, increased operational costs, and changes in trade patterns. Macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and market demand dynamics also affect the operational conditions and business strategies of shipping companies. The implications of these findings underscore the need for adaptation and innovation in maritime business practices, including investment in technology and infrastructure, as well as international collaboration to address the challenges faced. Future research can deepen understanding of changes in international trade dynamics and identify more effective adaptation strategies for shipping companies in this post-pandemic era. Thus, this study makes a significant contribution to understanding and addressing the challenges faced by the maritime industry in the future.

Sikka Regency is an area with superior tourism potential but the contribution of the tourism sector does not have a significant influence on economic growth, this is due to the low contribution of the creative economy in supporting the tourism sector which is influenced by less attractive and competitive creative economy products, lack of promotion and branding, lack of collaboration and partnership between tourism actors and creative economy actors and lack of support from the government and related institutions. To overcome these problems, the proposed solution is the existence of regulations as a strong legal foundation and framework for policies and programs that support the creative economy in Sikka Regency. The writing of this Policy Paper aims to enable the creative economy to contribute more to the development of the tourism sector in Sikka Regency and increase regional economic growth as well as policy recommendations to overcome the low contribution of the creative economy to support tourism in Sikka Regency.

The recommended policy option is a Sikka Regent Regulation on Creative Economy that can provide a legal framework and programs that support the development of the creative economy sector in Sikka Regency.

This research aims to examine internal conflict management in organizations through narrative analysis of crisis communication. Qualitative methods were used to understand the causes of conflict, crisis management strategies, leadership roles, the impact of conflict, communication techniques used, and policies and procedures implemented in the organization. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The results revealed that internal conflicts are often caused by differences in interests, lack of effective communication, and organizational change. Effective crisis management strategies involve open communication, mediation, and a proactive approach. Responsive and thoughtful leadership plays a key role in conflict resolution. Poorly managed conflict negatively impacts productivity, employee morale, and team collaboration, and damages the organization's image.

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has significantly influenced guidance and counseling services, particularly through the use of chatbots, e-counseling, and digital-based psychological analysis systems. This study aims to analyze the collaboration between AI technology and counselors’ interpersonal skills within the context of Islamic counseling. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data sources were obtained from various relevant journals and scientific articles accessed through Google Scholar. Documentation techniques were applied for data collection, while the data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical and thematic approaches. The findings reveal that AI can enhance counseling services through greater efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility without limitations of time and place. In addition, AI assists counselors in managing data, identifying clients’ problems, and providing quick initial responses. Nevertheless, AI cannot fully replace the role of counselors because it still lacks the ability to deeply understand empathy, build interpersonal relationships, provide emotional support, and comprehend spiritual values that are essential in Islamic counseling. Therefore, the implementation of hybrid counseling, which combines AI technology with human counselors, is considered more appropriate. In this model, AI functions as a supporting tool or co-counselor, while counselors continue to play the primary role in establishing therapeutic, humanistic, and religious relationships with clients. This study emphasizes that the integration of AI technology and counselors’ interpersonal skills is an important strategy in creating modern, effective, and human-oriented counseling services.
