This study investigates the role of adaptive leadership in addressing the complex challenges posed by rapid technological advancements, particularly in the era of Society 5.0. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into organizational systems introduces not only opportunities for efficiency and innovation but also ethical and leadership dilemmas. Using a literature review methodology, this paper examines how adaptive leadership can support organizations in navigating digital transformation while maintaining ethical integrity and organizational effectiveness. The findings indicate that adaptive leadership—characterized by responsiveness, inclusivity, and value-driven decision-making—is essential for sustaining organizational resilience. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the need for leaders to foster a learning-oriented culture, manage ethical concerns in AI deployment, and apply flexible leadership styles that empower employees. This paper contributes to the growing discourse on ethical digital leadership and offers insights for organizational sustainability in the context of technological disruption.    

Despite their 45% contribution to the global economy, international micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) face considerable obstacles in enhancing their global competitiveness because they lack the resources and access to efficient market analysis (OECD, 2025). In order to optimize cross-border MSME market analysis, this research attempts to construct a machine learning (ML) model coupled with a mixed-methods approach. A combination of quantitative (XGBoost and SEM-AMOS were used to analyze transaction data of 500 Indonesian export MSMEs 2020–2024) and qualitative (interviews with 15 MSME players) methods showed that the XGBoost model achieved 89% accuracy in predicting market trends, with key variables including exchange rate fluctuations (19%) and social media sentiment (28%). According to qualitative findings, the ML model does not identify cross-border regulatory constraints that 65% of MSMEs must deal with. These results validate market intelligence powered by AI as a strategic asset, extending the Resource-Based View paradigm. The significance of contextual adaptation and technological integration in the digital transformation of MSMEs is emphasized by this study.

International Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) face significant challenges in improving global competitiveness due to limited resources and access to effective market analysis, despite contributing 45% to the global economy (OECD, 2025). This research aims to develop an integrated machine learning (ML) model with a mixed-methods approach to optimise cross-border MSME market analysis. A combination of quantitative (transaction data analysis of 500 Indonesian export MSMEs 2020-2024 using XGBoost and SEM-AMOS) and qualitative (interviews with 15 MSME players) methods revealed that the XGBoost model achieved 89% accuracy in predicting market trends, with key variables including social media sentiment (28%) and exchange rate fluctuations (19%). Qualitative results show that 65% of MSMEs face cross-border regulatory barriers that ML models do not detect. The findings extend the Resource-Based View theory by validating AI-driven market intelligence as a strategic asset (β = 0.67, p 0.7. This research highlights the importance of technology integration and contextual adaptation in the digital transformation of MSMEs.

The issue of waste management remains one of the significant environmental challenges in Indonesia, mainly due to the lack of awareness and understanding from an early age. This article discusses the implementation of a community service program through innovative interactive learning using educational games "Reresik" and "Bersihkan Sampah di Laut" designed to enhance elementary school students' interest and understanding of waste management. The implementation method includes teacher training, the introduction of waste material, the application of educational games, and the evaluation of program effectiveness through satisfaction surveys. The results indicate that game-based learning methods significantly increase student enthusiasm, simplify understanding, and foster positive habits in maintaining environmental cleanliness. Moreover, the training provided to teachers improved their ability to integrate educational technology into the learning process. This program is expected to serve as a sustainable innovative learning model to raise environmental awareness among younger generations.

This study aims to identify the teaching approach and methods used by teachers at TK Pembina 1 Medan in developing the social skills of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically in the B Inovatif class. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study consisted of two teachers and one child with ASD, identified as Z. The results show that the teacher applies a student-centered learning approach, allowing children the freedom to choose activities that align with their interests and comfort. This approach is intended to facilitate the social development of the child by providing a more enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. Additionally, six teaching methods were employed, namely role-playing, cooperative learning, singing with movement, social activities based on real-life experiences, the use of media such as videos, and storytelling. Although some methods, such as role-playing, are still difficult for children with ASD to follow, the teacher adapts these methods to suit the child's needs and abilities. This study reveals that structured and flexible teaching approaches and methods are crucial in helping children with ASD gradually develop their social skills.

Sepak takraw is a traditional sport originating from Southeast Asia and is very popular in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. The main objective of this study is to conduct a literature analysis on sepak takraw extracurricular activities held at various levels of schools. This study was conducted by 4th semester students of class B of the Physical Education, Health and Recreation Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, class of 2023. The results of observations in 80 schools spread across the areas of Jakarta, Bekasi, Cikarang, Karawang, and Purwakarta revealed that the existence of sepak takraw as part of extracurricular activities and physical education learning materials is still very limited. This finding shows the lack of attention to this traditional sport in the educational environment, so systematic efforts are needed to introduce, develop, and integrate sepak takraw into physical education programs in schools. This study uses a qualitative method because the data collected and analyzed are non-numerical, such as interviews, observations, and field texts. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature analysis on sepak takraw extracurricular activities held in schools at each level.
