The benefit of cardboard waste as a headpiece is to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit to continue to be creative in processing this inorganic waste into products at prices that are relatively cheap compared to prices on the market. Data collection uses the methods of Observation, Literature, Experimentation, Documentation, Interviews, Questionnaires. The author carried out the process of using cardboard waste to make headpieces through several stages, not only that, the author also carried out experiments 3 times using different dyes. In experiment 1 using gold pilok, experiment 2 used gold pilok then sprinkled with gold glitter, then experiment 3 used wall paint coloring sprinkled with gold glitter. The author conducted a sensory test regarding the public's acceptance of headpiece products made from cardboard waste. The highest average results were obtained in experiment 3 with a total average color of 2.87 which means quite appropriate, a total average texture of 2.63 which means quite suitable, a total average design of 1.77 which is less appropriate, while the total average ease of use is 2.67, which means it is quite appropriate. So the results obtained were that as many as 30 respondents preferred product 3 with quite appropriate criteria. From the results of the products made, the coloring still needs to be improved so that they are more perfect and the designs are developed to be more varied so that they can be used as a reference for further research.

This study aims to examine relevant and effective Christian Religious Education (CRE) learning methods in the digital era. The rapid development of information and communication technology has brought significant changes in education, including CRE instruction. The research method employed is a literature study with a descriptive-analytical approach to various academic sources and technology-based CRE learning practices. The results indicate that integrating digital media such as online learning platforms, Bible-based interactive applications, and social media creatively can enhance students' engagement and understanding of Christian faith values. Furthermore, the use of digital technology opens wider opportunities for contextual and meaningful faith formation across diverse learning environments. The study also identifies key challenges faced by CRE teachers, namely digital readiness, infrastructure limitations, and maintaining relational and spiritual dimensions in virtual learning environments. Teachers must therefore be equipped not only technologically but also theologically to navigate these complexities. The research concludes that the transformation of CRE methods in the digital era is not merely a technology adoption but a holistic theological integration of faith, technology, and pedagogy.

This paper discusses the implementation of regional autonomy and its impact on Islamic education in Indonesia, focusing on the challenges and opportunities faced. Although educational decentralization is considered a strategic step to improve the quality of education, there are various obstacles that must be addressed, including the development of regional capacity, the availability of educational resources, and effective leadership. This study aims to explore how regional autonomy can provide flexibility in educational management while identifying issues arising from the lack of coordination between regional and central governments, especially in the management of Islamic educational institutions. The method used is a normative legal approach with descriptive analysis. The research findings indicate that despite efforts to enhance Islamic education, there remain significant gaps in funding, facilities, and educational quality compared to general education. The conclusion drawn is the need for more inclusive and responsive policy reforms to local diversity, as well as the importance of collaboration among government, society, and educational institutions to create a more equitable and quality education system.

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed the ways in which faith is experienced, particularly in the lives of adolescents. From the perspectives of digital religion and mediatization of religion, digital space is no longer merely a medium, but has become a cultural arena that actively shapes religious practices and meanings. The study aims to analyze these dynamics, especially within the context of Generation Alpha, by examining the opportunities and challenges that emerge in the lived experience of faith in the digital age. The findings indicate that digital environments offer creative, participatory, and contextual opportunities for evangelization, enabling young people to engage actively in constructing their religious experiences. However, this dynamic is inherently ambivalent, as it also risks reducing the meaning of faith to symbolic, instant, and less sacramentally grounded experiences, detached from the communal life of the Church. Furthermore, the formation of religious identity in digital spaces tends to be fluid and performative, potentially leading to superficial relationships and fragmented identities. Therefore, technologically mediated religious experience should be understood as a bridge, rather than a substitute, for authentic faith encounters. The Church is thus called to adopt adaptive and reflective pastoral approaches, positioning media as a means of fostering communio without obscuring the essence of faith. An integrative approach through the synergy of Church, family, and educational institutions is essential to balance digital literacy and spiritual depth, ensuring that adolescent faith continues to grow reflectively and remains rooted in real-life experience.

This study aims to examine the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning to write scientific papers and its impact on the level of originality of students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI) Semester VI at Bina Bangsa University. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, which was conducted through reference searches and interviews with 30 of the total 35 students. The results of the study indicate that AI is utilized functionally as an aid in the writing process, such as compiling outlines, paraphrasing, developing ideas, and reviewing writing. Based on the interview results, the use of AI platforms is dominated by Chat GPT at 50%, followed by Perplexity at 27%, and Gemini.ai at 23%. These findings indicate that students do not rely on a single platform, but rather utilize various technologies adaptively according to their needs. In terms of discussion, the use of AI has a positive impact in the form of improved writing quality, time efficiency, development of creative ideas, increased digital literacy, and the provision of instant feedback. However, there are also challenges that arise, such as the potential for decreased originality, dependence on AI, the risk of violating academic ethics, information bias, and data privacy issues. Therefore, AI should be used as a tool, not a substitute for students' critical thinking skills. This research emphasizes the importance of using AI wisely, critically, and responsibly so that students can produce original, high-quality, and integrated scientific work in the digital age.

Empowering student health unit (UKS) cadres in the areas of eye health and entrepreneurship is crucial for preventing visual impairment and fostering a smart and productive generation. This activity aims to improve the quality of life and future of students through health education, eye health services used in learning, vision care, and entrepreneurship. The benefits of this educational activity include increased understanding of health, particularly regarding visual impairment and its management, preventing visual impairment, and enhancing entrepreneurial knowledge and skills. This community service activity utilizes a participatory educational method, prioritizing a needs-based approach for the target partners, namely junior high school students and, in particular, the UKS cadres. The activity was conducted in stages and divided into several main phases to ensure effective and sustainable transfer of knowledge and skills. The activity was conducted in several main sessions involving all 440 students in grades 7 and 8, including 27 UKS staff. The results of this community service program include increased knowledge of junior high school students about healthy vision, awareness of maintaining near and far vision within normal limits through healthy behaviors in using the sense of sight. Students' understanding of entrepreneurship from outside sources is also enhanced, as students have already received entrepreneurship lessons. However, information provided by outside sources will further strengthen and inspire them to create opportunities that align with their interests and talents. The skills of the Health Unit (UKS) cadres in conducting visual acuity checks independently and with peers are expected to be conducted periodically and routinely every three months, and incidentally if needed or if someone needs it due to complaints of decreased vision. The eye health and entrepreneurship education model can serve as a reference for other schools. It needs to be implemented continuously and in stages, in line with technological developments and the latest health policies.  

The digital transformation driven by the acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally transformed leadership paradigms and the structure of the modern workplace. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the various strategic opportunities and systemic risks arising from the integration of AI into contemporary organizational leadership practices, where technology is no longer merely a tool but a collaborative partner in managerial processes. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method on 30 reputable scientific journals with publications spanning up to 2026, this article analyzes the transition of the leader’s role from a conventional hierarchical model toward the concept of Augmented Leadership. Data analysis results indicate that AI implementation offers significant opportunities through data-driven decision-making systems with high precision, intelligent resource allocation optimization, and enhanced leadership intervention effectiveness, which has been documented to reach up to 35%. However, this transformation also brings a series of complex multidimensional risks, including algorithmic biases that could trigger inequality cascades, ethical dilemmas related to operational transparency (black box), and the potential erosion of the meaning of work for employees. The discussion in this article emphasizes that the success of this transformation depends not only on technical expertise, but also on redefining leadership competencies to prioritize emotional intelligence and ethical governance frameworks such as the CARE Framework (Control, Awareness, Responsibility, and Evaluation).

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed organizational landscapes and driven fundamental changes in leadership practices and strategic management. This article aims to critically examine AI-based leadership by highlighting its opportunities, risks, and implications for strategic management. The study employs a qualitative literature-based approach using an integrative literature review strategy. The data consist of secondary scholarly literature relevant to AI, leadership, governance, innovation, and strategic management, which were analyzed through qualitative thematic analysis and conceptual content analysis. The findings show that AI-based leadership creates opportunities in the form of improved decision quality, faster strategic analysis, operational efficiency, stronger innovation, and enhanced organizational agility. However, AI integration also presents risks, including algorithmic bias, limited decision transparency, technological dependency, accountability challenges, and ethical concerns. This study confirms that AI does not fully replace human leaders; rather, it fosters a hybrid leadership model that requires technical, adaptive, transformational, and ethical capabilities. The study implies that the effectiveness of AI-based leadership depends on responsible governance, organizational cultural readiness, and balanced human–machine collaboration in supporting strategic management.

 Penelitian ini mengkaji peran media sosial dalam membentuk pemahaman keagamaan dan toleransi antarumat beragama di kalangan generasi muda Indonesia, yang semakin intens berinteraksi dengan wacana keagamaan melalui platform digital dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Media sosial tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana untuk mengakses pengetahuan agama, tetapi juga sebagai ruang interaksi lintas iman yang memungkinkan pertemuan berbagai perspektif. Namun, peluang tersebut berjalan beriringan dengan tantangan berupa misinformasi, konten provokatif, serta echo chamber berbasis algoritma yang berpotensi mendistorsi penafsiran ajaran agama dan memperkuat polarisasi. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dua permasalahan utama, yaitu bagaimana generasi muda menafsirkan pesan-pesan keagamaan yang ditemui di media sosial, serta faktor digital dan sosial apa saja yang memengaruhi apakah keterlibatan tersebut mendorong sikap toleran atau justru memicu kesalahpahaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam yang didukung oleh observasi awal untuk menggali pengalaman hidup pemuka agama dan generasi muda yang aktif dalam kegiatan keagamaan serta penggunaan media sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pesan keagamaan yang positif, kemampuan berpikir kritis, serta keteladanan figur agama dan publik berperan penting dalam memperkuat perspektif keagamaan yang moderat dan meningkatkan keterbukaan antariman. Sebaliknya, rendahnya literasi digital dan paparan informasi yang homogen berkontribusi terhadap kesalahpahaman serta terbatasnya dialog lintas agama. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis terpadu antara praktik digital generasi muda dan perspektif otoritas keagamaan, sehingga memberikan pemahaman kontekstual mengenai dinamika komunikasi keagamaan di ruang digital. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa media sosial dapat mendorong harmoni antarumat beragama dan pendalaman pemahaman agama apabila didukung oleh produksi konten yang etis dan literasi digital yang kuat.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally altered the landscape of public governance, compelling local governments to adapt and embrace digital transformation. This study investigates the challenges and opportunities faced by local governments in Indonesia in implementing digital governance transformation within the framework of Society 5.0. Using a systematic literature review and case study methodology, this research analyzes governance transformation policies, institutional readiness, digital infrastructure, and human resource capacity across selected Indonesian regional governments. The findings reveal that while significant opportunities exist including enhanced public service delivery, improved transparency, citizen participation, and inter-agency coordination substantial challenges persist in digital infrastructure disparities, limited human resource capacity, regulatory ambiguity, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The study identifies five critical success factors for effective digital governance transformation: strong political commitment, adequate digital infrastructure investment, comprehensive human resource development, adaptive regulatory frameworks, and inclusive citizen engagement mechanisms. This research contributes to the theoretical discourse on e-government and digital governance in the context of developing countries, while offering practical policy recommendations for local governments navigating the transition to Society 5.0. The implications extend to policymakers, practitioners, and scholars engaged in public administration reform in the digital age.

Digital technology has, in many ways, altered the manner in which businesses function. This transformation touches on aspects like how products are developed, delivered, and sold. It opens up a range of possibilities for business owners to broaden their markets, boost profits, and make better use of online tools. At the same time, however, the digital age introduces certain difficulties. These include increased competition as well as risks related to practices that may conflict with sharia law—for example, charging interest, engaging in transactions with unclear risks, or producing counterfeit goods. The focus of this study is to examine the opportunities and challenges that businesses encounter in today’s digital world, viewed through an Islamic lens. The approach taken involves a review of existing literature, drawing from various sources dealing with digital commerce and Islamic economic principles. The results suggest that digital business ventures hold considerable promise, provided they are conducted with honesty, fairness, and transparency, while avoiding activities disallowed by sharia. This way, entrepreneurs can not only generate income but also develop their enterprises in a way that aligns with ethical and religious values.
