Currently, the number of Children with Special Needs (ABK) continues to increase every year, making the role of teachers increasingly vital in providing inclusive education services in schools. This increase in the number of ABK requires teachers to have adequate competencies to provide education tailored to the needs of each child. In this context, inclusive education is crucial, as it provides opportunities for all children, including those with special needs, to learn together in the same environment. This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in the context of inclusive education in Early Childhood Education (PAUD). The method used in this study is qualitative with a narrative approach, conducted in several PAUD institutions in Malang. The results show that teachers have a very important role in inclusive education in PAUD. The role of teachers in question covers several aspects, including the ability to recognize Children with Special Needs (ABK), conduct initial assessments of student needs, and understand how to implement appropriate learning for ABK. In addition, teachers are also expected to be able to use assistive devices to provide simple stimulation to ABK and know how to involve parents in handling ABK. The importance of the teacher's role in inclusive education lies not only in academic abilities, but also in social and emotional skills in creating a supportive learning environment. This research provides valuable insights for the development of training programs for teachers to improve their skills in inclusive education, which is expected to have a positive impact on the quality of education in early childhood education (PAUD). With appropriate training, teachers can be better prepared to face the challenges of teaching children with special needs and ensure that every child receives a quality education tailored to their needs. This research is expected to encourage educational institutions to pay more attention to training and professional development for teachers, so they can contribute optimally to creating inclusive and quality education.

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of optimal hydration on brain activity and mental health in students and workers through a biopsychological approach. Five participants (three students and two workers) participated in a hydration intervention by drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day for seven days. The design used was a one-group pretest-posttest, with measurements using the PANAS (Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule) scale and daily reflection. The results showed an increase in positive emotion scores and a decrease in negative emotion scores after the intervention was carried out in both groups. Participants' daily reflections supported these findings, although some experienced discomfort such as bloating or nausea. Biopsychologically, adequate hydration can contribute to cognitive function, emotional control, and daily productivity. This study confirms that regular drinking habits are a simple but effective strategy in improving mental health and brain function in both students and workers.

In an increasingly complex digital era, the demand for a transparent, reliable, and efficient accounting system is increasing. Conventional accounting systems still face various challenges, such as potential data manipulation, recording errors, and dependence on third parties for the verification process. Blockchain technology is present as a potential solution to strengthen the integrity and transparency of the accounting system through a decentralized and immutable ledger recording mechanism. This study aims to examine how blockchain can be applied in accounting systems and to what extent this technology is able to improve the reliability of accounting information. The method used is a literature review, by analyzing 20 scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025. The results of the study show that blockchain has great potential in increasing efficiency, reducing audit costs, and minimizing the risk of fraud and data manipulation. However, challenges such as implementation costs, scalability, and regulatory uncertainty are the main obstacles to its adoption. This study provides a deeper understanding of the opportunities and constraints of implementing blockchain in accounting, and opens up space for further research related to the integration of this technology into modern accounting practices.

Interpersonal communication is a fundamental aspect in maintaining harmonious relationships between family members. In broken home families, the communication process often experiences obstacles due to division, conflict, or the absence of one of the parental figures, which has an impact on the psychological condition of the child and the dynamics of family relationships. This phenomenon is important to study in order to understand how communication can continue amidst these limitations. This study aims to determine the form of interpersonal communication that occurs in broken home families, especially in terms of six main aspects: openness, empathy, support, positive feelings, equality, and similarity. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews with three informants from broken home families in Lembang Village, West Bandung Regency. The results of the study showed that interpersonal communication in broken home families tends not to run optimally. Most informants have difficulty in building open and equal communication. Even so, there are efforts from each individual to maintain relationships through aspects of empathy and emotional support, although in a limited form. In conclusion, interpersonal communication in broken home families is greatly influenced by emotional conditions, parenting patterns, and closeness between family members. Even though it is not completely harmonious, some aspects of communication can still be formed, especially if there is a willingness from the parties involved to understand and support each other.
