This study aims to examine the implementation of librarians' personal competencies within the framework of the 4B concept (Beauty, Brain, Behaviour, Brave) at the Regional Library of Tulungagung Regency. The 4B concept was initially popularized in the pageant world but has since evolved into an approach applicable to service-oriented professions, including librarianship. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with three informants: the Head of the Library and Archives Service and two female librarians who also serve as division heads. The findings indicate that each element of the 4B concept is evidently manifested in the personal competencies of female librarians. The beauty aspect reflects not only physical appearance but also personal integrity and efforts to create an appealing service environment. Brain is demonstrated through mastery of knowledge and librarianship skills. Behaviour is reflected in professional attitudes, empathy, and work ethics in service interactions. Meanwhile, brave is embodied in the courage of female librarians to take on strategic roles, lead innovations, and face challenges in the public sphere. These findings reinforce the perspective that female librarians possess capabilities equal to their male counterparts in terms of professionalism and play an active role in challenging gender stereotypes in the library environment. This research contributes to the development of a humanistic and gender-equality-based librarian competency model.

This research looks into the transparency and accountability in the promotion process for civil servants at the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) of Sidoarjo Regency as a component of the continual bureaucratic reform aimed at achieving clean and professional governance. Overall, the promotion process has embraced the digital-based Sidoarjo Smart ASN system and adheres to the merit principle, although obstacles persist in achieving completely transparent and accountable practices. The study centers on four key areas: transparency of public information, responsibility in decision-making, the validity of the merit system, and the efficiency of internal oversight and citizen engagement. A qualitative descriptive method utilizing a case study approach was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, direct observations, and the analysis of official documents. The results indicate that transparency continues to be administrative in character, accountability is focused vertically instead of being horizontally accountable to the public, and the merit system encounters challenges linked to bureaucratic culture and the integration of competency data. Additionally, internal oversight does not have enough community engagement in assessing promotion procedures. The research suggests improving transparency via interactive publishing, establishing accountability systems based on performance, boosting independent evaluation capabilities, and incorporating digital oversight tools with public engagement. These results are anticipated to provide a basis for creating a civil service management model at the regional government level that is more transparent, accountable, and grounded in integrity.

This study aims to analyze the influence of internal audit quality on the effectiveness of hedging policies in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2023. Using annual financial statements and annual reports, this study selected 30 companies using a purposive sampling method. The internal audit variable in this study was measured by three proxies: Internal Audit Charter, Internal Auditor Competence, and Internal Auditor Training. This study used multiple linear regression analysis as a hypothesis testing method. The results indicate that Internal Audit Charter Disclosure has a positive effect on hedging effectiveness disclosure, while Internal Auditor Competence Disclosure and Internal Auditor Training have insignificant and negative effects on hedging policy effectiveness. Based on these results, companies with robust internal audit charters and comprehensive components tend to be more proactive in disclosing hedging policies to avoid reputational or regulatory risks. Companies that disclose internal auditor competency and training through documents do not necessarily guarantee disclosure of hedging effectiveness. This indicates that documentation of internal auditor competency or training in annual reports does not necessarily reflect the overall company oversight.

The role of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) Secretariat is crucial in supporting the effective supervision function of the DPRD as a pillar of good governance. However, at the Cilegon City DPRD Secretariat, this role faces significant constraints due to a policy of assigning staff to assist in work visits that is not competency-based, which risks weakening local government accountability. This research aims to analyze the facilitation role of the Cilegon City DPRD Secretariat, identify the constraints arising from the removal of expert supervision staff, and formulate optimization strategies to strengthen the institution's role. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through in-depth interviews with key informants within the Secretariat, observation, and document analysis. The research findings indicate that (1) the Secretariat's role has been degraded to be administrative rather than substantive; (2) the main constraint stems from a staff assignment system that ignores competence, which leads to a decline in the quality of supervision reports; and (3) there is an urgent need to reform the human resource management (HRM) system. It is concluded that the optimization of the Secretariat's role can only be achieved by reforming the staff assignment policy and implementing structured competency development programs to restore professionalism and effective support for the DPRD's supervision function. Therefore, this research recommends three strategic steps: in the short term, revising the staff assignment policy to prioritize competence; in the medium term, developing and implementing clear Competency-Based HRM Guidelines; and in the long term, organizing continuous functional training programs to enhance staff capacity in professionally and effectively supporting the DPRD's supervision function.

This community service initiative aims to empower the SOUL Literacy Community by strengthening the capacities of teachers, students, and the community in developing literacy programs. The methods employed include Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA), implemented through preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation stages. The program results indicate increased community capacity in formulating literacy agendas, improved student interest and skills in reading and writing, and enhanced teacher confidence in applying interactive literacy strategies. Furthermore, the program successfully established a participatory literacy model that strengthens school–community collaboration and can be replicated in other regions. In conclusion, this initiative contributes to the development of a sustainable literacy ecosystem and supports the achievement of SDG 4 on quality education.

Shadow puppet craft training is a strategic intervention in preserving cultural heritage and strengthening the creative economy sector in Indonesia. To ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of training, a planning approach is needed that is not only conventional, but also based on quantitative analysis and intelligent systems. This community service proposes a training planning strategy using an interdisciplinary approach involving Operation Research, Design of Experiment (DoE), Simulation, Metaheuristic Algorithms, and Data Mining. This study begins with the identification of key training variables, such as duration, number of participants, initial competency level, teaching materials, and instructor resources. Through the DoE approach, various combinations of variables are systematically tested to identify the optimal training design. Next, Simulation is used to model the dynamics of training implementation and evaluate implementation scenarios. To predict training needs and participant behavior, Data Mining techniques are applied to historical data of arts community training. In the final stage, Metaheuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing are used to solve complex and large-scale scheduling and resource allocation problems. The results of the integration of these approaches show an increase in training efficiency of up to 27% as well as increased participant satisfaction and the quality of work results. This activity demonstrates that applying a quantitative, data-driven approach to traditional crafts training planning can provide significant added value. This model can be replicated in other training programs based on local wisdom and other creative industry sectors.
