This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of transformational leadership and digital literacy on civil servant performance through the mediating role of adaptability. The research population comprised all 75 employees at the Regional Financial Management and Local Revenue Agency (BPKPAD) of Demak Regency, Indonesia. A saturated sampling method was employed, utilizing the entire population as respondents. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3.3 software. The findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly and positively influences both civil servant adaptability and performance. Digital literacy demonstrates a significant positive impact on both adaptability and performance, emerging as the most dominant factor in the research model. Civil servant adaptability significantly and positively affects performance. However, mediation analysis indicates that adaptability does not significantly mediate the relationships between transformational leadership, digital literacy, and performance, suggesting that direct effects predominate over indirect effects in the BPKPAD Demak Regency context.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) face increasing pressure to adapt to digital transformation and e-commerce in order to enhance marketing performance; however, their implementation is often constrained by limited technological utilization and low levels of consumer trust.

The findings highlight key research trends and methodological gaps, offering valuable insights for future research and practical implications for organizations seeking to effectively implement flexible work arrangements.A

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital transformation and organizational innovation on sustainability performance, with leadership support and digital literacy as supporting variables and the role of moderating effects in strengthening the relationship between variables. The research method used a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS- SEM) analysis. Data were collected through a questionnaire measured using reflective indicators for each construct. The results of the measurement model test indicate that all indicators have outer loading values above 0.70, thus being valid in measuring the latent construct. Structurally, digital transformation has a positive effect on sustainability performance with a path coefficient of 0.124,  while organizational innovation shows a relatively weak effect  with a coefficient of 0.006. Leadership support and digital literacy have a fairly strong positive effect on sustainability performance with a coefficient value of 0.586. In addition, the first moderation effect provides a strengthening of the relationship to sustainability performance with a coefficient of 0.154, while the second moderation effect shows a very small effect with a value of 0.032. The R² value of 0.670 indicates that the model is able to explain 67% of the variation in sustainability performance, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings confirm that the success of organizational sustainability performance does not only depend on digital transformation and organizational innovation, but is also greatly influenced by leadership support, digital literacy, and moderating mechanisms that strengthen the implementation of digital strategies. This research is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to organizations in designing digital- based sustainability strategies.

People with visual impairment face barriers in cash transactions, particularly in identifying banknote denominations and verifying authenticity, which can reduce independence and increase vulnerability to fraud. This issue is also closely linked to the financial inclusion agenda, as access to reliable information on the value and authenticity of cash is a prerequisite for safe transactions among vulnerable groups. This community service program aimed to improve users’ competence through individualized, home-visit–based education and mentoring on an optical–UV sensor–based banknote denomination and authenticity detector with audio feedback. The program was implemented in collaboration with the Kebumen branches of PERTUNI and ITMI from October to December 2025. The intervention stages included an initial needs assessment, structured training using a concise module, hands-on practice through transaction scenarios, and follow-up mentoring. Evaluation employed a pre–post knowledge test, a practical performance checklist, and a usability questionnaire. Results indicated that the mean knowledge score increased from 55.1 to 80.7, and the success rate of denomination identification improved from 60.7% to 90.0%. This approach is relevant as an individualized mentoring model for blind communities when group-based training is difficult to implement.

The increasing integration of internet technology in educational institutions requires structured network governance to ensure that digital resources support academic activities effectively. Unrestricted access to online platforms often leads to non-academic usage such as online gaming and social media engagement during instructional hours, which may reduce learning concentration and degrade network performance. This research develops and evaluates a network access control simulation using a MikroTik RouterBoard RB951Ui-2HnD device. The system applies firewall filtering mechanisms, hotspot-based authentication, and bandwidth allocation strategies through Simple Queue configuration. Network segmentation is implemented to differentiate teacher and student access privileges. The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach to design, configure, test, and evaluate the proposed system. Testing results indicate that the firewall configuration successfully restricts access to selected online games (Mobile Legends, Clash of Clans, Roblox) and social media platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Shopee, Instagram, Telegram). Furthermore, bandwidth management demonstrates effective traffic prioritization, ensuring more stable allocation for teacher accounts in accordance with configured maximum limits. The findings confirm that structured firewall and bandwidth policies can improve network discipline, enhance performance stability, and support a controlled digital learning environment in schools.

Starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), commonly known in Indonesia as belimbing wuluh, is widely used as a natural acid in traditional cuisine. It is often processed into dried sour starfruit (asam sunti), which can last 1–1.5 years. However, traditional sun-drying methods are inefficient due to weather dependency, long processing times, and inconsistent product quality and color. This study aims to design and develop a tunnel-type starfruit dryer equipped with a blower system and heat control based on the Arduino Mega 2560. The research employs a quantitative method to evaluate tool performance. The dryer is cylindrical and supported by key components, including LPG gas as a heat source, a blower for air circulation, and a drum holder. Drying is conducted in six stages, each lasting 120 minutes, totaling 12 hours to achieve optimal dryness. Temperature monitoring at three points (T1, T2, T3) uses a MAX6675 sensor with a thermocouple connected to the Arduino Mega 2560, while weight measurement is done manually. Results indicate the tool functions effectively. A denser drying chamber and proper blower installation are recommended to ensure even heat distribution and improved drying efficiency for community use.

This study investigates the factors influencing export performance in five ASEAN countries Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand during the 2014-2023 period. The topic is highly relevant given the vital role of exports in sustaining monetary stability and promoting long-term economic growth. The novelty of this research lies in its integrated approach, which simultaneously examines key export-related macroeconomic variables, namely foreign direct investment and inflation, while incorporating foreign exchange reserves as a moderating variable an approach that remains limited in existing ASEAN-focused studies. This analysis uses secondary data obtained from the World Bank and processed using panel data regression methods, including the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model, strengthened by a Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) approach. The results show that foreign direct investment and inflation significantly influence foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, foreign exchange reserves have been shown to play a strategic role in strengthening the economic resilience of ASEAN countries and can be used as a reference in formulating monetary and international trade policies.

Official travel constitutes a routine yet strategically significant component of local government administration, closely intertwined with bureaucratic processes, public financial management, and accountability arrangements. Despite its operational importance and fiscal visibility, official travel management has received limited integrative attention in the public administration literature, and existing studies remain fragmented across procedural, financial, and governance perspectives. This article addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive literature review on administrative efficiency in official travel management within local governments, with particular attention to bureaucratic processes and cost control mechanisms. Adopting a narrative–analytical literature review design, the study employs a state-of-the-art and theory-driven synthesis of recent peer-reviewed scholarship in public administration, public financial management, governance, and related fields. The analysis integrates thematic and conceptual synthesis techniques to identify recurring patterns, relationships among key concepts, and unresolved issues in the literature. The findings reveal consistent patterns of procedural inefficiency, including administrative burden, complex approval chains, and process fragmentation, which persist even under formal cost control and accountability systems. The review further demonstrates that compliance-oriented financial controls often secure fiscal conformity without necessarily improving administrative efficiency, particularly when misaligned with bureaucratic workflows and constrained by limited administrative capacity. Governance and accountability mechanisms enhance transparency and oversight but frequently prioritize answerability over performance learning, thereby legitimizing inefficiencies rather than resolving them. By synthesizing insights from Administrative Efficiency Theory, Public Financial Management, Bureaucratic Process Theory, Administrative Capacity Theory, and Governance and Accountability perspectives, this article advances an integrative conceptual framework that explains efficiency outcomes as systemic products of interacting institutional dimensions.
