Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a crucial determinant in business transformation, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This research aims to delve deeply into how the implementation of ICT in MSMEs contributes to enhancing their competitiveness. The research method employed is descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach, where data were collected through interviews with MSME owners who have implemented information technology in their operations.The results indicate that the integration of ICT has provided significant positive impacts on MSMEs. One of the key benefits is the enhancement of operational efficiency, where the use of information systems has expedited business processes and reduced operational costs. Additionally, MSMEs that adopt information technology also have broader market access through online platforms and social media, thereby enhancing sales potential and business growth. However, the implementation of ICT in MSMEs also faces several challenges, such as high implementation costs, limited access to infrastructure, and concerns about data security. Therefore, strong support from the government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector is needed to provide training, technical assistance, and necessary infrastructure for MSMEs to harness the full potential of ICT.

Strengthening knowledge and disaster preparedness for students, teachers, and the wider community can be achieved through community service activities packaged in the form of national seminars. This seminar is an educational and collaborative forum that brings together various related parties to share knowledge, experiences, and disaster mitigation strategies. Through this community service activity, geography learning becomes more relevant and applicable. Not only does it increase understanding of disaster mitigation, this seminar also builds community capacity in dealing with disasters, and encourages active participation of all parties in creating a safer and more sustainable environment.

This research aims to determine Renewable Energy, Emission Intensity, Life Expectancy, and Unemployment Rate on Gross National Income (GNI) in Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, and Norway. The variables in this research are Renewable Energy, Emission Intensity, Life Expectancy, and Unemployment Rate as independent variables, while the Gross National Income variable is the dependent variable. This research uses secondary data taken from the OECD from 2011-2023. The data analysis technique used is the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) panel. The research results from the ARDL model analysis show that the country that is able to become a leading indicator for the stability of the GNI rate is only Norway. This is because all the variables or indicators in the research, namely (Renewable Energy, Life Expectancy, and Unemployment Rate), this country has a significant effect on GNI. while the Emission Intensity variable does not have a significant effect on GNI. If we look at the stability of the short run and long run, the Unemployment Rate variable, both in the short and long term, significantly controls the stability of GNI.

Education stands as a dynamic force in human and societal development, continually evolving to meet shifting demands and needs. In this modern era marked by rapid transformations, the importance of keeping education abreast with the times cannot be overstated. One effective tool for rejuvenating and advancing education is the SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis, encapsulating Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, transcends its traditional business applications to offer profound insights in diverse domains, including education. In the realm of Christian Religious Education (CRE), a critical aspect of the educational landscape, SWOT analysis unveils avenues for both refinement and growth. This paper explores the application of SWOT analysis in the context of CRE, acknowledging its pivotal role in shaping individual character, values, and spiritual beliefs. Tracing the historical trajectory of CRE from ancient churches to contemporary times, the analysis underscores the foundational principles upon which CRE stands. Within the framework of CRE, SWOT analysis serves as a potent tool to discern existing dynamics and chart future trajectories. By identifying internal strengths such as robust faith traditions and biblically grounded curricula, opportunities for enriching CRE education emerge. Simultaneously, weaknesses such as resource constraints and technological integration challenges highlight areas ripe for improvement. Furthermore, SWOT analysis illuminates potential opportunities for CRE advancement, including technological integration and policy shifts. However, it also unveils threats such as societal value shifts and information overload that impede effective CRE delivery. In navigating these dynamics, effective educational management emerges as paramount. Without strategic oversight and management, the pursuit of excellence in CRE remains elusive. Hence, this study delves into the pivotal role of educational management in fostering the quality and efficacy of CRE. Utilizing an analytical methodology, this research delves deep into existing literature and textual sources to unravel insights and generate new knowledge. Through systematic analysis and interpretation, this study seeks to enrich the discourse on CRE and underscore the imperative of strategic planning and management. In conclusion, SWOT analysis emerges as a cornerstone in the enhancement of CRE. By systematically evaluating internal dynamics and external trends, SWOT analysis paves the way for informed decision-making and strategic interventions. Thus, this paper advocates for the systematic integration of SWOT analysis in CRE, heralding a new era of excellence and relevance in religious education.
