This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) orientation program at the Jambi Province Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM). The research focuses on George C. Edward III's 1980 policy implementation theory, which encompasses communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation, with informants determined using a purposive sampling technique. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the PPPK Orientation Program has run quite well and has been able to improve participants' understanding of the duties, functions, and core values ​​of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). However, several obstacles remain in its implementation, namely internet and electricity network constraints, the lack of effective online learning, lack of participant discipline during the activity, and limited supervision and number of committee members. These obstacles affect the optimization of the learning process and the effectiveness of the online orientation activities. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the quality of program implementation through the development of more interactive learning methods, the provision of adequate facilities, and further evaluation and mentoring to improve the competence and professionalism of ASN.

University libraries play a strategic role in supporting academic learning and research. This study aims to evaluate user perceptions of library service management at UIN Madura, focusing on five key dimensions: clarity of service information, effectiveness of staff coordination, organizational structure support, simplicity of service procedures, and consistency of orientation for new users. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through an online Google Form-based questionnaire distributed to active UIN Madura students from various study programs, resulting in 21 valid respondents from diverse academic backgrounds. Data analysis was conducted descriptively using frequency distribution and percentages. The results indicate that user perceptions of library governance are generally quite positive. The majority of respondents gave good ratings to the clarity of service information (85.7% agreed or strongly agreed), the effectiveness of staff coordination (81%), and the organizational structure support (90.5%). However, the new user orientation dimension received the lowest rating, with 23.8% of respondents disagreeing or strongly disagreeing. These findings indicate the need for a more systematic and sustainable strengthening of the library orientation program. Overall, the service management and governance of the UIN Madura library were assessed as quite good. However, improvements are still needed in the aspects of socialization and guidance for new users so that this university library service can function optimally in supporting the academic community.

This study aims to enhance knowledge, foster a sense of patriotism, and strengthen the national identity of Indonesian children living abroad through an educational program introducing Indonesian islands and culture. Children living in foreign environments tend to interact more frequently with foreign cultures, potentially leading to a lack of familiarity with their own national culture. Therefore, this activity was designed as a fun and easily understandable learning experience to ensure children remain connected to their roots. The method used was qualitative descriptive research employing direct observation of 30–40 participants over a two-week period. The program was implemented in several stages: orientation, presentation of materials, video screenings, drawing and coloring activities, and traditional games. The results showed that participants demonstrated increased knowledge of the names of major islands in Indonesia as well as various regional cultures, such as traditional attire, dances, and folk songs. Additionally, the program successfully fostered a sense of pride, boosted self-confidence, and strengthened camaraderie among participants. The children appeared enthusiastic and active in every activity provided. Thus, this educational program proved effective as a means to introduce Indonesian culture while strengthening the national identity of Indonesian children abroad through engaging and enjoyable learning methods.

This systematic review maps how innovation, technology adoption, and Islamic entrepreneurial behaviors are intertwined and contribute to the SDGs. Searches in Scopus followed PRISMA 2020: of the 166 initial records, 46 were eliminated prior to screening; 120 filtered by title–abstract; 45 read in full; and 25 articles were analyzed in depth. Four RQs lead the synthesis: the form of innovation/adoption (RQ1), impact on behavior and performance (RQ2), and their relationship to the SDGs (RQ3). The findings show five complementary faces of innovation: (1) process-organization (knowledge management, open innovation; innovation capability), (2) sharia business/finance models (sharia venture capital, agricultural value chain finance), (3) financial and platform digitalization (fintech, Islamic crowdfunding), (4) technological innovation in business models (e.g., urban farming–aquaponics) that are value-framed, and (5) halal product/marketing innovation (halal assurance and halal trust). Behind that, the drivers are layered: individual values and psychology, Islamic HRM cultural orientation and organizational learning, Islamic finance architecture and regulation, and access to digital literacy and trust in the platform. The impact is multidimensional performance, access to ethical capital, halal market behavior, and social and religious environmental outcomes with strong contributions to SDG 8 and SDG 9, and footprints on SDGs 1–2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17. This SLR offers an integrated financial innovation value framework and proposes SDGs micro-indicators; limitations mainly in the variation of measurements and the dominance of cross-section designs.

The low level of awareness among vocational high school (SMK) students to continue their education to higher education remains a major issue, particularly at SMK Mambail Futuh, Jenu District, Tuban Regency.

This community service activity aims to build students’ awareness and motivation regarding the importance of higher education as a long-term investment. The implementation method includes educational socialization, interactive discussions, the presentation of inspirational experiences, and the introduction of higher education admission pathways and financing schemes. The results show an improvement in students’ understanding of the benefits of higher education and a growing interest in pursuing further studies after graduation. This activity emphasizes that communicative and contextual educational approaches play a crucial role in encouraging positive mindset changes among SMK students toward higher education.

This article develops a conceptual model that explains how social capital and digital literacy interact in shaping Islamic financial literacy in the digital era. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study synthesizes theories, empirical findings, and thematic patterns derived from reputable academic journals, scholarly books, and institutional publications. The analysis shows that social capital functions as a value foundation encompassing trust, collective norms, and behavioral orientations that influence individuals’ initial acceptance of sharia-based financial practices. Information obtained through family, religious communities, and social networks becomes a crucial entry point that shapes early perceptions and preferences toward Islamic financial products. Meanwhile, digital literacy strengthens individuals’ ability to access, evaluate, and verify Islamic financial information independently through various digital content such as online articles, infographics, educational videos, and Islamic fintech platforms. The interaction between these two dimensions creates a layered learning process in which social capital provides contextual value and trust, while digital literacy deepens technical understanding in a more objective manner. This article contributes theoretically by proposing the Social Capital–Digital Literacy Integrative Model and offers practical implications for Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and fintech providers in designing more effective strategies to enhance Islamic financial literacy in society.

Innovation is the process of optimizing various resources to produce more efficient and sustainable solutions. This study aims to examine the relationship between resources and innovation strategies in supporting sustainable entrepreneurship through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. A total of 25 scientific articles were analyzed using PRISMA guidelines to examine the role of resources such as human, technological, information, financial, and physical resources in the context of product, process, and managerial innovation. The research findings indicate that the success of innovation is strongly influenced by the organization's ability to utilize and synergize its resources, especially in the development of internal capabilities such as tacit knowledge, research and development activities, and digital technology. Human resource creativity is the main driver of product innovation, while process innovation is strengthened by the application of technology and a learning culture. Managerial innovation is heavily influenced by entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities in responding to change. The implementation of sustainable innovation strategies such as green, digital, and social innovations also increases business competitiveness through cross-sector collaboration. This study emphasizes the importance of integrated resource management and innovative strategies to achieve sustainability, especially in the small and medium enterprise sector.

  Abstract. Research shows that leadership plays an important role in improving and reforming schools and education systems in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Mustiningsih, Maisyaroh, and Ulfatin 2019). In the context of the digital industrial revolution, leaders are not only responsible for academic performance and the proper functioning of schools but are also responsible for all activities carried out by schools (Kurniawan et al. 2023). This revolution includes automation and digitalization of all aspects of the industry to create products that meet consumer needs (Lanang Putra et al. 2021). This revolution also presents challenges for tax reform, including integrating various changes caused by digitalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Mayasari and Narsa 2020). In the field of education, leadership abilities in understanding and using digital knowledge are very important to support learning activities in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Sugiarto and Dewantara 2021). The leadership qualities demonstrated by Christ are very important for pastors in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to be able to lead effectively and overcome challenges (Eppang 2022). The fourth industrial revolution offers opportunities to increase savings and reduce consumption through the development of e-commerce and the digital economy (Suwardana 2018). In addition, this Revolution has also changed job design, job structure, and required skills, thereby increasing the demand for people with different skills (David 2021). Finally, business orientation, digital capabilities, leadership skills, and the environment influence business decisions (Justin and Handoyo 2023).

In the modern era of education, the focus of learning has shifted from teacher orientation to student orientation. As educators, it is important to design learning methods that are in accordance with technological developments. Today, learning that is too teacher-centered and theoretical tends to reduce student interest. Therefore, the use of audio-visual media such as learning videos can increase student engagement, provide deep meaning, and arouse high enthusiasm for learning. This study aims to 1) explain the level of student enthusiasm when using audio-visual learning media, and 2) evaluate the impact and interest of students on audio-visual based learning media in the learning process. This research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ibn Aqil Pekanbaru. This research is a descriptive qualitative research that uses data collection methods in the form of direct observation, interviews, and literature studies. Research findings show that lecture-dominated learning tends to make learners lose interest and focus on themselves. The results of the study showed that 1) when students were introduced to the use of audio-visual media such as learning videos, most of them felt very enthusiastic and excited in following the learning process, while only one student showed less interest. 2) Thus, it can be concluded that the use of audio-visual learning media can increase student enthusiasm at the elementary school level.
