Community participation refers to the active involvement of citizens in various stages of the development process, especially at the village level. A concrete example of community participation can be seen in the case study of Bendhung Lepen, located in Mrican Village, Yogyakarta. Bendhung Lepen is an irrigation canal that stems from the Gajah Wong River. Before its revitalization, the area faced numerous environmental problems, primarily due to household waste and pollution that contaminated the waterway and negatively affected the environment and public health. In response to these issues, local residents, along with relevant stakeholders, initiated an environmental conservation program. The main goal of this initiative was to restore the ecological function of Bendhung Lepen and transform it into a clean, green, and beneficial public space for the community. This study aims to measure the level of community participation in the environmental conservation program. Data collection methods included questionnaires for quantitative analysis and in-depth interviews for qualitative insights into community involvement. The results of the study show that community members were actively involved in various phases of the program, including planning, implementation, and evaluation. Stakeholders involved in the program included community leaders, youth groups, environmental organizations, and village officials. The forms of participation extended beyond voicing aspirations to contributing labor (through mutual cooperation) and materials (such as donations or supplies). According to Arnstein’s ladder of participation, the level of community participation in this conservation program falls under the category of "delegated power," which represents a high degree of participation. This means that the community was not merely involved as passive participants but was given real authority in decision-making and program management. These findings indicate that genuine and sustained community involvement plays a crucial role in the success of local environmental conservation efforts.

This community service activity aimed to provide guidance and capacity building for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), specifically chicken satay vendors operating in the parking area of Taman Anggrek Mall, Jakarta. These culinary MSMEs have strong potential due to their strategic location, which attracts high foot traffic. However, many of these business owners still face challenges in managing and developing their businesses, particularly in terms of managerial skills, financial record-keeping, and marketing strategies. Therefore, this program was designed to enhance their business competitiveness by improving their managerial abilities, introducing simple bookkeeping practices, and promoting the use of digital platforms for marketing. The implementation of the program began with an initial observation to identify the specific needs and challenges faced by the MSME actors. This was followed by interactive training sessions covering topics such as the importance of basic financial management, how to create simple financial reports, and effective yet low-cost digital marketing strategies. In addition to the training, the team also provided intensive one-on-one mentoring to ensure that participants could apply the materials in their daily business operations. The outcomes of the program showed positive developments. The MSME participants began to recognize the importance of keeping financial records as a basis for making business decisions. They were also able to identify internal management issues such as inventory control and business planning. In terms of marketing, most of the vendors have started using digital platforms like WhatsApp Business and Instagram to promote their products, allowing them to reach a wider audience.It is expected that this community engagement initiative will continue and serve as a model for similar training programs targeting culinary MSMEs in other busy urban areas. Such efforts are essential to developing more independent, professional, and competitive MSMEs in the digital era.

The digital era has significantly transformed the external environment of educational institutions, demanding swift, strategic, and innovative adaptation to remain relevant to societal needs. Key external factors such as rapid technological advancement, evolving government policies, globalization of education, and disparities in digital access pose substantial challenges to maintaining educational quality. Institutions that fail to adapt risk falling behind in both learning quality and graduate competitiveness.

These issues necessitate digital-oriented education policy evaluations and stronger regulatory frameworks to bridge the digital divide. The study concludes that successful adaptation goes beyond merely adopting technology. Sustainable transformation also depends on continuous evaluation and support systems. By implementing the right strategies and addressing key obstacles, educational institutions can effectively navigate digital challenges and foster sustainable, future-oriented learning environments aligned with contemporary demands.

Chemotherapy is a primary treatment modality for cancer, but it often results in adverse effects such as anemia due to decreased hemoglobin levels. Factors including age, chemotherapy frequency, and nutritional status may influence hemoglobin levels, particularly in rural areas with limited healthcare resources. To examine the relationship between age, chemotherapy frequency, and nutritional status and hemoglobin levels among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in a rural setting. This cross-sectional, correlational study involved 154 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Baladhika Husada Hospital, Jember, from July to September 2024. Data were collected through patient interviews, the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and hemoglobin test results. Bivariate analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation was conducted to assess associations among variables. The majority of participants were aged 46–55 years (42.8%), had received 1–3 chemotherapy cycles (57.1%), and were at risk of malnutrition (45.5%). A significant association was found between age (p = 0.009, r = 0.191) and nutritional status (p = 0.014, r = 0.178) and hemoglobin levels. No significant association was found between chemotherapy frequency and hemoglobin levels (p = 0.60). Age and nutritional status are significantly associated with hemoglobin levels in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, while chemotherapy frequency is not. These findings highlight the need for individualized care and nutritional interventions, particularly for elderly patients in rural areas, to mitigate the risk of Chemotherapy-Induced Anemia

Statistical analysis using simple linear regression revealed that personalization significantly influences customer loyalty, with a beta coefficient of 0.653 (t = 8.241, p < 0.001) and an R² value of 0.567. Qualitative findings highlight user concerns over recommendation accuracy, interface overload, and repetitive suggestions, which affect emotional satisfaction and platform attachment. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI adoption in e-commerce by integrating behavioral and technological dimensions of loyalty formation. It also offers practical implications for designing more context-sensitive personalization systems that prioritize not only algorithmic precision but also user control and experience quality.

In the digital economy era, financial transparency has become a critical aspect for the sustainability and credibility of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Despite their substantial contribution to employment and economic growth, many MSMEs in Indonesia still rely on manual accounting systems, which limit the accuracy and traceability of financial reporting. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of cloud-based accounting automation on financial transparency among Indonesian MSMEs. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected quantitative data from 120 MSME respondents in Jakarta and West Java through structured questionnaires and qualitative data from six key informants through semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using simple linear regression, resulting in a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.513 and a beta coefficient of 0.598 (p = 0.000), indicating a strong and significant influence of accounting automation on financial transparency. Qualitative findings also revealed improvements in real-time access, reporting accuracy, and transaction traceability. The study confirms that cloud-based digital accounting systems enhance financial transparency by enabling automated integration, audit trails, and timely reporting. These findings contribute to the literature on digital transformation in MSMEs and offer practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and software providers to accelerate technology adoption and improve financial governance in the MSME sector.

This study aims to analyze the application of the Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB) method in budget management in 2025 as a strategic step to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public financial governance. ZBB is a budgeting approach that requires each organizational unit to prepare a budget from zero without referring to previous allocations, so that each expenditure must be logically justified based on actual needs and strategic priorities. In the context of increasing fiscal pressures and demands for bureaucratic reform, the relevance of ZBB is increasingly strengthening. Using a qualitative approach through literature studies and policy analysis, this study evaluates the effectiveness, constraints, and prospects of ZBB implementation in various government sectors that are undergoing digital transformation, such as immigration services and public services. The results of the study show that although ZBB is able to improve budget efficiency and build a more responsible work culture, its success is highly dependent on the readiness of human resources, reliable information systems, and strong political support. Therefore, the implementation of ZBB in 2025 needs to be accompanied by systematic training, supporting regulations, and an integrated performance evaluation system to produce a significant impact on better budgeting practices.
