Archive management plays a crucial role in supporting the smooth administration and accountability of an institution, including Akademi Komunitas Negeri (AKN) Putra Sang Fajar Blitar. The objective of this study was to analyze the dynamic archive management system implemented at AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar. The research method was descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that dynamic archive management at AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar includes four stages: creation, use, maintenance, and depreciation. The archive creation and use stages have been running well, even using a digital system through the SINDE application. However, the maintenance stage has not been implemented optimally, and the depreciation stage has not been implemented at all. This is because AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar is a newly operating educational institution, so the maintenance stage has only been carried out a little, and no archives have yet been categorized as permanent. The focus is still on active archives and is moving towards managing inactive archives as the archive volume increases and the organization's journey ages. The results of this study provide evaluation material to improve the quality of dynamic archive management at AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar. Furthermore, the research findings also demonstrate the importance of improving human resource capacity in archives management, particularly in terms of understanding archival regulations and technical skills in using digital archive applications such as SINDE. The lack of training and outreach related to archives management has resulted in suboptimal implementation of the maintenance and reduction stages. Therefore, an institutional strengthening strategy is needed through ongoing training, the development of internal archival guidelines, and collaboration with local archival agencies to support more professional archives management in accordance with national archival standards.

Limited internet access in remote areas remains a major obstacle to equitable digital education in Indonesia. This situation significantly impacts student and teacher accessibility to digital learning resources, which are increasingly becoming a necessity in 21st-century learning. One way to address this obstacle is to provide alternative technology infrastructure that does not rely on external internet connections.

The implementation results indicate that the local server is able to improve the accessibility and speed of distribution of learning materials. Teachers can easily upload teaching materials, while students can access them anytime through devices connected to the school network. Surveys conducted with students and teachers also indicate a high level of satisfaction with this system. They assessed that local servers facilitated the teaching and learning process, supported student independence, and reduced technical barriers that often arose due to weak internet connections. Furthermore, this study emphasized the importance of utilizing appropriate technology in educational settings in remote areas. Implementing local servers without quotas proved to be a relatively inexpensive, easy-to-manage, and sustainable solution to support equitable digital education.

This study investigates KIDI IoT, an educational service by PT Telkom Indonesia designed to bridge the skills gap between Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the demands of the Industry 4.0 workforce. The primary objective was to assess the extent to which the KIDI IoT service fulfilled the requirements of educators and learners to substantiate its value proposition. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was employed utilizing in-depth interviews and the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) framework for analysis. The outcomes demonstrate how effectively the program's project-based, experiential approach increases user motivation and offers a practical, industry-relevant learning environment. The service successfully generates the desired customer benefits. A major customer pain point that the current model ignores is that participants often expressed that the two-day offline training period was insufficient to help them master the material or build their confidence for working independently. This led to a significant misalignment. The KIDI IoT value proposition is fundamentally strong and well-regarded; however, the study concludes that its implementation necessitates improvement, particularly through the provision of more specialized teacher training and an extended training duration, to ensure sustained impact and skill acquisition.

Gunungsari Village, Windusari District, is one of the areas facing quite serious challenges in efforts to develop basic literacy in school-age children. The main problems faced are low interest in reading, limited access to adequate reading materials, and learning methods that are still conventional. These conditions have implications for many children who are not able to read and write fluently despite having received an elementary school education. In response to this situation, the community service team took the initiative to implement a literacy program that uses an interactive learning approach through the development of a literacy park. This program is not only designed to be a learning platform, but also to create a learning atmosphere that is fun, contextual, and involves the active participation of children. Various activities are implemented, including storytelling, the provision of a reading corner, educational games such as math games, vocabulary quizzes, and the provision of simple rewards to maintain high learning motivation. This program activities are carried out periodically with the involvement of the school, the surrounding community, and also the village government, so that its sustainability has the support of various parties. The results of the implementation show a significant increase in children's literacy skills. Not only are they reading more fluently, but they are also better able to comprehend story content and write simple ideas. Furthermore, the children appear more confident in expressing themselves, are more active in every learning activity, and are beginning to demonstrate positive reading habits. A culture of literacy is also slowly growing through the existence of child-friendly and inclusive literacy parks. This proves that a fun, community-based literacy approach is highly relevant in rural areas with limited resources and can be a simple yet impactful means of educational transformation for children's futures.

Pancasila, as Indonesia’s foundational ideology, plays a central role in guiding the nation’s democratic governance and shaping its human rights framework. Despite its normative strength and universal values, the implementation of Pancasila in protecting human rights remains challenged by selective interpretations, legal inconsistencies, and socio-political dynamics that often limit its transformative potential. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, systematically analyzing peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed publications from 2014–2025. The methodology integrates qualitative thematic synthesis and bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer, combining network, overlay, and density visualizations to capture both substantive content and the intellectual structure of the literature. The review identifies four major thematic dimensions: (1) humanity and social justice as core ethical values of Pancasila; (2) legal framework and reforms that seek to harmonize national laws with constitutional and international human rights principles; (3) challenges and critiques highlighting issues such as weak law enforcement, political intervention, and ideological contestation; and (4) educational and societal impacts, particularly the role of civic education and community-based initiatives in fostering rights awareness. Findings highlight that while Pancasila provides a robust ethical and legal foundation for human rights protection, its practical impact remains constrained by structural weaknesses, limited civic engagement, and inconsistent judicial practices. Bibliometric mapping reveals a growing scholarly interest in the areas of legal modernization, democratic governance, and the integration of human rights education within both formal and informal learning systems. This suggests that contemporary discourse is increasingly oriented toward reform and institutional strengthening. The study concludes that a synergistic application of Pancasila principles, comprehensive legal reform, and active civic participation is crucial for advancing human rights in Indonesia. Strengthening judicial independence, promoting inclusive legal frameworks, and enhancing civic education are key strategies to align Indonesia’s human rights practices with both its national values and international standards. Ultimately, this review contributes to scholarly discourse and policy development by providing a comprehensive synthesis of the intersection between ideology, democracy, and human rights in contemporary Indonesia.

Hypertension is a Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) whose prevalence continues to increase from year to year, especially in the elderly. This condition is a serious challenge in the field of public health because hypertension can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure if not properly managed. The high incidence of hypertension in the community, especially in Grujugan Hamlet, RT. 07–10, Bantul Village, has become a concern in community-based promotive and preventive efforts. Therefore, this community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of the elderly about hypertension through a direct screening and health education approach. The implementation method includes blood pressure checks (initial screening), counseling using educational media such as leaflets, posters, and interactive presentations, and evaluation of understanding through filling out pre- and post-tests. A total of 24 elderly people participated as respondents in this activity. The screening results showed that the majority of participants (62.5%) were in the Hypertension Level 2 category, while the other 8.3% were in the Hypertension Crisis category. Before the education, pre-test results showed that 58.3% of elderly people had low knowledge about hypertension. However, after the education, 75% experienced an increase to a high level of knowledge. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.001), indicating that the health education provided was effective in improving participants' understanding. This activity has had a positive impact on improving health literacy and can serve as the basis for developing sustainable, community-based, participatory hypertension prevention programs.
