The aim of this research is to analyze the evolution and contribution of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Indonesian education system. This research aims to understand how AI technology has developed and been applied in various aspects of education, from administration, personalized learning, to evaluating learning outcomes. The research methods used are literature studies and secondary data analysis from various sources, including academic journals, government reports, and case studies of AI implementation in a number of educational institutions in Indonesia. The research results show that AI has made a significant contribution to improving administrative efficiency, facilitating more adaptive learning, and providing in-depth data analysis for educational decision making. However, challenges such as the digital divide, limited infrastructure, and the need to increase teacher competency in using AI technology still need to be overcome. This research concludes that with the right policy support and investment in infrastructure and training, AI has great potential to transform Indonesian education in a more inclusive and quality direction.

This qualitative study explores the role of pickleball in promoting healthy aging among elderly players in Indonesia. As the global elderly population continues to rise, the need for effective strategies to enhance physical, mental, and social well-being in older adults becomes more pressing. Pickleball, a low-impact sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has gained significant popularity worldwide due to its accessibility, moderate intensity, and low risk of injury. This study employed a phenomenological approach, conducting semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and focus group discussions with 19 elderly pickleball players aged 50 and above in Surabaya, Indonesia. The findings suggest that regular participation in pickleball leads to significant improvements in physical health, including enhanced strength, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. The sport also has positive effects on mental well-being, helping to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and provide a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Socially, pickleball fosters community engagement, reduces feelings of isolation, and strengthens intergenerational relationships, allowing older adults to connect with younger generations. However, barriers such as physical limitations, limited access to facilities, and unfavorable weather conditions hinder consistent participation. In conclusion, pickleball is a valuable and effective activity for promoting healthy aging by providing a holistic approach to improving the quality of life in older adults. Policymakers, healthcare providers, and community leaders are encouraged to invest in pickleball infrastructure, promote awareness, and support active aging initiatives to further enhance the well-being of elderly populations.

The research that has developed so far, the use of virtual laboratories in learning is only widely used for exact science groups such as mathematics, physics or chemistry, while in non-exact science groups it has not been widely done. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the use of virtual accounting laboratories on student learning outcomes in taxation courses which are non-exact science groups. This type of research is Quasi Experimental research using Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The results of the study showed that the post-test scores in classes that used virtual accounting laboratories increased higher when compared to classes that did not use virtual accounting laboratories. The contribution that is an important finding in this study is the use of virtual accounting laboratories for taxation courses which are non-exact science fields has been proven to be able to improve student learning outcomes.

Public Relations of the South Sumatra Provincial Government is a government agency responsible for communication to the public. The development of communication and information technology requires public relations practitioners, including government public relations, to be able to adapt and choose new media channels that are effective in conducting public communication. So this study aims to find out how to use social media as a public communication medium of the South Sumatra Provincial Government. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach where the researcher tries to explain and describe information about the use of social media managed by the Public Relations of the South Sumatra Provincial Government to the public. Data collection techniques are carried out by interviews and observations. The results of the study show that the public relations of the South Sumatra Provincial Government has used social media in public communication activities as a platform to promote and disseminate government programs and policies so that they can be known to the public. Based on the theory of Excellece Public Relations, communication activities that have been established have been running in two directions, but still use a two-way asymmetric model where agencies expect the public to continue to act, think and behave according to the government's will through active publications that tend to be "telling" about various leadership activities without listening to the wishes of the community.
