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. This study aims to implement and evaluate a local server system without a quota at SMKN 1 Bantan as a solution for providing educational materials in environments with limited network coverage. The local server system is designed to store various learning content, including text, video, and interactive modules, which can then be accessed through the school's internal network. This mechanism allows students and teachers to access materials more quickly and stably, free from quota limitations and dependence on commercial internet networks, which are often slow or unavailable. 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.

Jati Larangan Park in Iroyudan Hamlet, Bantul Regency, is a community-based tourism area with historical, cultural, and natural potential. Despite its appeal as a religious and outdoor tourism destination, the park experienced a decline in activity following the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the development of Jati Larangan Park to support participatory and sustainable tourism development strategies. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that the community has a positive perception of the park because it is considered capable of providing economic, social, and cultural benefits. Youth groups, MSMEs, and the general public recognize the importance of this tourism revival, although management is still hampered by human resources, weak institutional structures of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), and a lack of digital literacy for the promotion and marketing of local products. Community involvement is reflected in the spirit of mutual cooperation and the desire to revitalize the park through various tourism activities. However, a more systematic strategy is still needed in terms of institutional strengthening, youth empowerment, MSME capacity development, and digital promotion. With a Community-Based Tourism (CBT) approach, Jati Larangan Park has the potential to become a leading destination in Bantul with collaborative and sustainable management. In addition to social and economic aspects, the development of Jati Larangan Park must also consider environmental and spatial planning dimensions. Currently, parts of the park are poorly managed, with a lack of sanitation facilities, information boards, and accessible tourist routes for the elderly and people with disabilities. This presents a challenge in realizing an inclusive and comfortable destination.

This research is motivated by the potential of the waters of South Palabusa, Buton, as an ideal habitat for pearl oyster cultivation. This region has ecological advantages that can support the growth of oysters producing high-value pearls. However, pearl production is still strongly influenced by the application of nucleus implantation techniques and the condition of the aquatic environment. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of nucleus implantation on pearl growth and quality and identify environmental factors that play a significant role. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with subjects being Pteria penguin oysters cultivated by the local community for a period of one month. The main parameters observed included the oyster survival rate, pearl size growth, and the quality of the resulting nacre. The findings provide valuable insight into how nucleus implantation can optimize pearl farming practices. The results showed that oysters implanted with nucleus implants had a survival rate of between 85–90%. Pearl diameter growth reached 1–2 cm per month, with a thicker nacre layer and brighter color than oysters without nuclei. Environmental factors, such as water temperature of 28–30°C, salinity of 30–35 ppt, pH 7.5–8.5, moderate water currents, and high plankton availability, have been shown to support successful cultivation. These environmental factors act as natural enhancers that improve pearl quality and survival rates. The findings of this study imply that the application of appropriate nucleus implantation techniques, accompanied by good environmental management, can increase pearl yield and quality. This not only provides significant economic benefits for cultivators but can also serve as a basis for developing sustainable pearl cultivation strategies in potential Indonesian waters. Thus, sustainable pearl aquaculture can become a promising sector for local communities.

Plankton are microorganisms that have an important role in aquatic ecosystems, especially in fisheries cultivation activities. The presence of plankton functions as natural feed for aquatic organisms, thus affecting the growth and survival of aquaculture biota. However, in the rainy season the quality of pond water often changes, especially in pH parameters, which can disrupt the stability of aquatic ecosystems. One of the efforts made to maintain pH stability is with periodic liming techniques. This study aims to determine the biodiversity of plankton in the Bossbaster cultivation pond by applying periodic calcification techniques. The research was carried out on October 10–23, 2022 at the Bossbaster cultivation pond. The study focuses on aspects of abundance, diversity, uniformity, and dominance of plankton, both phytoplankton and zooplankton. The results showed that the average phytoplankton abundance in pond 1 was 41,002 cells/L, pond 2 was 40,853 cells/L, and pond 3 was 32,826 cells/L. Meanwhile, the average zooplankton abundance in pond 1 was 51 ind/L, pond 2 was 52 ind/L, and pond 3 was 66 ind/L. The average value of the phytoplankton diversity index ranged from 0.809–0.930,  Meanwhile, zooplankton ranges from 1.1863–1.4740. The phytoplankton uniformity index ranges from 0.4458–0.4814, while zooplankton reaches 0.880–0.881. The phytoplankton dominance index is in the range of 0.479–0.4809, and zooplankton is in the range of 0.2645–0.3514. These findings show that periodic liming techniques are able to maintain the stability of pond conditions so as to support the sustainability of plankton as an indicator of water quality. Thus, the application of this technique can be an important strategy in supporting the sustainability of aquaculture while improving the efficiency of pond management in a sustainable, innovative, and adaptive manner to changes in the increasingly complex aquatic environment.

This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological method, which emphasizes an in-depth understanding of the experiences, views, and behaviors of employees in carrying out their duties in their work environment. The research focuses on actors (employees), social situations, and activities that occur within the village environment. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews with key and primary informants, and documentation. Data validity was tested through triangulation of sources and techniques to increase the validity of the research results. The results show that the organizational culture in Lebak Bulus Village has strengths in the aspects of innovation and risk-taking, orientation towards results, orientation towards people, and stability. However, several weaknesses were still found, such as low individual initiative, lack of attention to detail, weak team orientation, minimal levels of aggressiveness, and limited employee experience and accuracy. Opportunities for improvement can be pursued through ongoing training and the digitalization of public services, although challenges remain, including a passive work culture and resistance to policy change. Overall, organizational culture plays a crucial role in supporting employee performance improvement, but a sustainable strategy is needed to strengthen professionalism and build a more adaptive and progressive work culture. Efforts to address identified weaknesses, such as improving communication between employees, developing leadership skills, and enhancing discipline in carrying out tasks, are essential for the continued development of a positive organizational culture. Furthermore, awareness of the importance of collaboration across organizational divisions must be instilled to create a more productive and efficient work environment.

This research aims to integrate Resource Advantage (RA) Theory with Islamic values, especially the concept of maslahah, as a strategic approach to create a sustainable and ethical competitive advantage. RA Theory emphasizes the importance of superior resource management as a key factor in achieving a competitive position in the market. However, this theory tends to be oriented towards achieving financial benefits alone without paying attention to social or ethical aspects. On the other hand, the concept of maslahah in Islam prioritizes broader welfare, including benefits for individuals, society, and the environment, as well as avoiding harm. The integration of RA Theory with the maslahah principle offers a new conceptual framework that balances business interests with social responsibility. This approach emphasizes that resource management is not only geared towards maximizing profits, but also to provide sustainable and equitable benefits for all stakeholders. Thus, companies that implement strategies based on RA Theory and maslahah are expected to be able to effectively improve marketing performance while strengthening their reputation as business entities that are committed to ethical and sharia values. Furthermore, the implementation of this integration can help companies in dealing with the dynamics of the global business environment, including sustainability issues, corporate social responsibility, and consumer demands that are increasingly critical to business practices. The results of this research are expected to make a theoretical contribution by expanding the study of marketing management that is oriented towards ethics and sustainability, as well as practical contributions in the form of strategic recommendations for sharia-based and conventional companies that want to increase competitiveness through resource management based on Islamic values. Thus, this research not only enriches the academic literature, but also becomes a practical guideline for business actors in building sustainable, competitive, and equitable businesses.

This study uses the library research qualitative method to examine the effectiveness of economic incentives in encouraging the conservation of natural resources (SDA) as well as mitigating environmental damage in a sustainable manner. The background of this study is driven by the increasing environmental degradation due to uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, which is often oriented towards short-term profits without regard for ecological sustainability and community welfare. In this context, economic incentives are seen as a strategic policy instrument that is able to influence the behavior of business actors and society towards a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible activity pattern. Various forms of economic incentives were discussed including green subsidies, environmental taxes, payment for environmental services (PES) schemes, and ecolabel certification. These instruments are considered to be able to internalize the external costs of environmental damage into economic calculations, thereby providing pressure and motivation for business actors to implement more sustainable and innovative practices. Based on a review of academic literature, scientific journals, as well as national and international policies, it was found that the implementation of economic incentives has proven to be effective in increasing environmental awareness and encouraging green innovation significantly. However, the effectiveness of its implementation is highly dependent on the quality of policy governance, the level of transparency, regulatory clarity, and the active involvement of local communities. Without adequate oversight, incentives have the potential to be abused or not achieve their intended goals. Therefore, the design of economic incentive policies must be fair, measurable, and prepared with a participatory approach and based on empirical data. This study concludes that economic incentives not only function as a financial mechanism, but also as an instrument of behavior change, economic culture, and environmental innovation towards sustainability.

Women's leadership is recognized as a strategic factor driving organizational success through the formation of effective and sustainable team collaboration. Beyond simply directing, women leaders build a conducive work climate where team members are valued, engaged, and have equal opportunities to contribute. Across various sectors, they demonstrate the ability to manage team dynamics with a participatory, collaborative approach, and a focus on healthy interpersonal relationships. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to describe the role, benefits, and challenges of women's leadership in human resource (HR) development. Twelve articles published between 2020 and 2024 were selected based on the PICOC framework to ensure academic validity. The study results indicate that women's leadership is synonymous with a participatory style, empathy, and open communication that encourages time commitment, the flow of ideas, innovation, and productivity. Women leaders create a psychologically safe work environment, value differences of opinion, and encourage cross-functional collaboration. Their role is increasingly important in the era of flexible work and digital transformation, where empathy and communication are key to maintaining team motivation and productivity. However, challenges such as gender stereotypes, structural barriers, and cultural resistance still limit the effectiveness of women's leadership, especially in strategic positions and high-level decision-making. In many cases, women leaders still have to work harder to gain legitimacy, even though they have the same or even higher qualifications than their male counterparts. Addressing this requires more inclusive organizational policies, gender-based leadership training programs, mentoring, and consistent advocacy for equality. Companies and public institutions must actively create an ecosystem that supports women's leadership development, including equal access to strategic career opportunities.

This study aims to conduct an in-depth study of various effective classroom management strategies at the elementary school level.

This research employs a qualitative library research method to examine the crucial role of investment in the renewable energy sector in sustaining national economic development in the globalization era. In the current global context, the transition toward environmentally friendly energy sources is not only a necessity but also a strategic priority for many countries, including Indonesia. Conventional reliance on fossil fuels, which are increasingly limited and harmful to the environment, has pushed policymakers and stakeholders to seek sustainable alternatives. Renewable energy sources—such as solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy—are widely recognized as long-term solutions to reduce environmental degradation and carbon emissions. Investment in the renewable energy sector does not merely contribute to environmental preservation but also carries significant socioeconomic benefits. It has the potential to generate new employment opportunities, encourage technological innovation, and strengthen national energy security. These impacts create a multiplier effect on the economy, thereby supporting inclusive growth and sustainable development. Furthermore, renewable energy investment can enhance national competitiveness and resilience in facing global energy transitions, as well as align with international commitments to climate change mitigation. This study, through a comprehensive review of scholarly journals, reports, and other credible sources, finds that the renewable energy sector is instrumental in realizing a sustainable and globally adaptive economic structure. Nevertheless, the success of this transition depends heavily on government efforts to optimize policies and regulatory frameworks that are supportive, transparent, and attractive to both domestic and international investors. Therefore, it is imperative for the government to strengthen investment incentives, streamline bureaucratic procedures, and promote public-private partnerships. The findings highlight that renewable energy investment is not only an environmental necessity but also a key driver of long-term national economic sustainability.

The presence of scattered waste in the environment has a significant impact on both environmental sustainability and human health. In Indonesia, the accumulation of waste has reached alarming levels, amounting to approximately 175,000 tons per day, or the equivalent of 64 million tons annually. Household activities are one of the main contributors, producing a wide variety of waste, including organic and non-organic materials. Poto Village is among the areas receiving particular attention regarding this issue due to the challenges it faces in waste management. Improper management of waste not only leads to air, water, and soil pollution but also increases the risk of various health problems within the community. One of the programs designed to address this problem is the 3R program, which emphasizes three main principles: reduce, recycle, and reuse. The purpose of this community service initiative is to improve public knowledge and awareness of effective waste management through the application of 3R practices. The activities were carried out in three main stages, namely preparation, education, and discussion through a question-and-answer session. The process began with a socialization activity that introduced the objectives, purposes, and sustainability aspects of waste management efforts in the village. The educational session was attended by 30 participants, consisting of housewives, farmers, and entrepreneurs, who represented key groups within the community. Furthermore, interviews with local cadres revealed that waste is collected weekly by garbage trucks, indicating the village’s commitment to environmental management. Participants responded enthusiastically throughout the educational sessions, showing a strong interest and positive reception toward the information provided. As a follow-up step, future activities could include hands-on training in waste management using available media and tools, which would allow participants to apply the concepts learned in a practical and sustainable manner.

The abundant rice husk waste in Legundi Village, Ngawi Regency, has not been used optimally and has the potential to cause environmental pollution. On the other hand, rural communities, especially the PKK Women's group, need business diversification to increase family income. Responding to these challenges, this community service program is carried out with the main objectives: (1) utilizing rice husk waste into husk charcoal products with economic value as a planting medium; (2) increasing income and empowering community groups; and (3) strengthening the capacity of digitizing MSMEs through online marketing assistance. The activity was carried out with a participatory method that prioritized the active involvement of the community. There are two main approaches to program implementation. First, training on the practice of making husk charcoal uses imperfect combustion techniques that are simple and environmentally friendly. Second, assistance in the digitalization of MSMEs which includes training in creating and managing e-commerce accounts (Shopee and Tokopedia), the production of visual and narrative-based promotional content, and digital marketing strategies that are adaptive to consumer trends. The results of the activity show that the community is able to process husk waste into packaged husk charcoal products with the brand "Saji Tani" which has selling value and market potential. In addition, the PKK Women's group showed capacity building in business management and the use of digital platforms to expand marketing access. This program not only succeeds in reducing the environmental impact of agricultural waste, but also encourages the economic independence of village communities through innovations based on local potential. Thus, this activity is a model of integrated community empowerment that combines environmental, economic, and digital technology aspects in a sustainable manner.

Tawangsari Hamlet, Tejosari Village, Ngablak District, Magelang Regency, faces serious waste management challenges, reflected in the high daily waste production and the inactivity of waste banks post-COVID-19.

This study aims to identify and analyze the main challenges in the implementation of e-government in Papua Province, employing a descriptive qualitative approach based on secondary data. Papua, with its unique geographical conditions and socio-cultural characteristics, faces considerable obstacles in digital transformation, despite national policies to accelerate the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). The analysis highlights several key challenges, including limited ICT infrastructure, low digital literacy, weak system interoperability, cultural resistance, and the absence of adaptive regulatory frameworks. To comprehensively interpret these complexities, this research integrates multiple theoretical lenses, namely the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), ICT readiness, and organizational resistance theory. Findings reveal that while Papua’s internet penetration rate has reached 69.91%, the adoption and utilization of public digital services remain significantly low. This gap reflects a disconnect between technological availability and institutional as well as cultural readiness. Moreover, the lack of involvement of local communities and indigenous leaders in the design and implementation of digital services has exacerbated the challenges of public acceptance and trust in government-led innovations. These limitations not only hinder service delivery but also create disparities in the broader agenda of equitable digital transformation across Indonesia. In response, this study recommends several strategic solutions: strengthening ICT infrastructure to reduce connectivity disparities, enhancing digital literacy programs tailored to local needs, drafting regulations that are context-sensitive and flexible, and applying cultural-based as well as participatory approaches to increase legitimacy and acceptance. By doing so, e-government initiatives in Papua can become more inclusive, sustainable, and effective. Overall, this study contributes to the literature on e-government in disadvantaged and high-complexity regions, emphasizing the urgency of inclusive and equitable digital policy design.

During storage and before consumption, grains often experience a decline in quality, nutritional content, and cleanliness due to pest attacks. Botanical insecticides are considered an alternative method to reduce dependence on harmful chemical pesticides. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus against Cadra cautella (Walk.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and their potential as biological control agents. The selection of C. cautella as the test organism was based on the limited number of studies examining this pest. The AgNPs used were synthesized through an eco-friendly method, and their optical and physical properties were analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that AgNPs synthesized from C. citratus extract showed high effectiveness in controlling the eggs and second instar larvae of C. cautella. Egg mortality reached 80.3% at a concentration of 40 μg/ml after 24 hours of exposure, followed by 72.9% at 30 μg/ml, and 65.8% at 20 μg/ml. In contrast, the control group showed no egg mortality. Similarly, larval mortality rates were 74.9%, 65.8%, and 60.2% for concentrations of 40 μg/ml, 30 μg/ml, and 20 μg/ml, respectively. These findings indicate that higher concentrations of AgNPs lead to greater mortality in both eggs and larvae. This study highlights the potential of green-synthesized AgNPs from C. citratus leaves as an effective and eco-friendly biopesticide. Their significant impact on egg and larval mortality suggests that they can be developed as an alternative pest control strategy in stored grains, thereby reducing reliance on conventional chemical pesticides that are detrimental to human health and the environment. Further research is recommended to explore their long-term efficacy, safety, and integration into sustainable grain storage management.

Pesidi Village, located in Grabag Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, is a highland region with promising potential in agriculture and livestock, particularly sheep farming. However, one of the major challenges faced by local farmers is the limited availability of forage during the dry season, coupled with the low utilization of agricultural by-products such as rice straw. These constraints often hinder livestock productivity and pose risks to feed security. To address this issue, a community service program was conducted with the aim of introducing and demonstrating local-based feed processing technologies, including silage, ammoniation, and Urea Mineral Block (UMB) production. The activity was implemented in several stages: problem identification, socialization, education, training, and monitoring of farmer implementation. Through this participatory approach, farmers were given hands-on training and practical guidance on processing alternative feed sources to ensure the availability of nutritious and sustainable livestock feed. The results showed that farmers began adopting UMB as a feed supplement due to its practicality and visible benefits in maintaining livestock health and productivity. However, silage and ammoniation methods were not yet widely adopted, mainly due to limited experience, lack of supporting equipment, and the perception that the processes were relatively complex. Despite these challenges, the program succeeded in raising farmer awareness of the importance of feed diversification and the optimization of agricultural waste. The training provided valuable insights into how the integration of silage, ammoniation, and UMB can increase feed efficiency, reduce dependency on fresh forage, and support sustainable livestock management. The implementation of these three technologies holds significant potential to enhance sheep farming productivity in rural highland communities, while simultaneously strengthening food security and supporting environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires comprehensive and sustainable prevention efforts. Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by the search for identity, emotional instability, and high levels of influence from the social environment, including peers. In this context, family education plays a central role as the first line of defense in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through open communication, wise supervision, and consistent love and emotional support, parents can create a safe and supportive environment for their children's mental development. Effective family education includes strengthening moral, religious, and social values, aiming to shape adolescents' character and resilience to environmental pressures. In certain situations, family education also needs to be supported by a scientific approach, one of which is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a psychological approach that focuses on improving negative thought patterns and behaviors. In the context of discussing drugs, CBT can help adolescents identify the emotional and social triggers that lead them to try illicit substances and equip them with strategies to cope healthily. The integration of family education and CBT therapy creates a comprehensive approach—from the home to professional support—to strengthen adolescents' mental resilience. This collaboration not only reduces the risk of addiction but also encourages adolescents to become more self-aware, emotionally healthy, and productive individuals. Therefore, synergy between families, schools, and mental health professionals is crucial in creating a drug-free generation of young people ready to face the challenges of modern life. Therefore, the active involvement of all parties, including educational institutions and the community, is essential to creating an environment that supports early drug prevention.
