This study aims to identify the training needs of Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in integrating digital-based learning approaches. Despite the availability of digital tools in PAUD Yobel Bersinar Medan, such as projectors and speakers, their effective use in classroom activities remains minimal. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to collect data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that most teachers face challenges in utilizing digital media, designing technology-integrated lesson plans, and engaging children through interactive platforms. However, the teachers expressed strong motivation and readiness to participate in contextual and practical training. The study highlights the importance of need-based training programs tailored to the actual teaching context. These findings imply the necessity for institutions to develop structured and sustainable professional development programs to enhance teachers' digital literacy and pedagogical skills, ultimately improving learning experiences in the digital era.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the psychological dynamics of the character Keke in the novel Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan using the literary psychology approach developed by Sigmund Freud. The main focus of this study lies in the main aspects of personality possessed by humans that have been stated in the psychoanalytic theory approach of Sigmund Freud. These three approaches include the idea of ego and super ego, which in it represent the basic structure in the development of human personality. The results of this analysis indicate that the character Keke has a strong ID which is reflected through the instinctive drive to survive and avoid the suffering that comes from the cancer he has. The aspect of the elder brother's ego is seen from his rational attitude in facing the reality of life, such as in his decision to continue going to school and undergoing chemotherapy for his recovery. While the last aspect, namely the super ego, is stated to be more prominent than other aspects, the super ego aspect possessed by Keke stands out in the form of moral toughness, religious values and social responsibility, for example when he tells his family not to be sad and not to sacrifice all his wealth for the treatment of his illness. These three aspects of personality interact with each other and form a balanced personality between each other even though they are in a bad condition. Through the psychoanalytic approach of Sigmund Freud, the character of Keke in the novel Surat Kecil untuk Tuhan, the character of Keke is stated as a character who can inspire and has very high moral values. The analysis of this novel also proves that the psychoanalytic theory owned by Sigmund Freud is very effective in exploring the inner depths of a character and can understand the emotional and spiritual complexity in dealing with the suffering felt by a character in his story.

The church is not merely a place of worship; it is a community of believers who share a divine responsibility to help one another grow spiritually. In Indonesia, a nation rich in religious and cultural diversity, the church can serve as a strategic agent of both spiritual and social transformation. This paper explores the church’s holistic responsibility in fostering the spiritual growth of its members through intentional discipleship, character formation, biblical teaching, and mission-oriented leadership. Emphasis is placed on the importance of building a contextual and transformative discipleship model, especially in addressing current social challenges, particularly those related to the younger generation. A nurturing church will encourage its members to embody the values of Christ, becoming agents of change, sources of hope, and witnesses of God’s love among others. By fulfilling this calling, the church makes the Kingdom of God present in the world.
 

Transformational leadership is an approach that emphasizes inspiration, empowerment, and individual development in order to achieve organizational goals holistically. This study aims to examine the concept of transformational leadership theoretically, while reviewing its application in the context of general organizations and churches, and its relevance according to the biblical perspective. Using the literature study method, this study collected data from various scientific literature and theological sources to build a solid conceptual framework. The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership has significant benefits, such as increasing employee engagement, innovation, and performance. On the other hand, this approach also has limitations, especially in the context of organizations that are bureaucratic or still in the early stages of formation. From a biblical perspective, transformational leadership is in line with the examples of Deborah and Jesus Christ, who led through service, example, and personal transformation. Thus, transformational leadership is not only relevant to the development of modern organizations, but also has a strong spiritual basis in Christian teachings.

Manco, a traditional snack from Madiun, holds significant potential to grow and gain recognition beyond its region of origin. Its unique taste, texture, and embedded cultural and historical values serve as key assets in an increasingly competitive market.

Therefore, branding and storytelling training are essential for manco entrepreneurs to maximize their product’s potential, expand their market, and establish manco as a culinary icon representing Madiun both nationally and internationally.

Education plays an important role in shaping the character and intelligence of the younger generation, with discipline as a key value that must be instilled from an early age, especially in elementary schools. Discipline not only maintains order during the teaching and learning process but also shapes students' personalities comprehensively. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation to understand student discipline practices and the role of teachers in instilling this value in the classroom. The results show that discipline significantly contributes to students' academic success and is developed through consistent habituation. The teacher’s role as a behavioral model is crucial in fostering discipline awareness, with strategies involving students in rule-making as well as the implementation of educational rewards and punishments. Conversely, a lack of discipline causes disruptions in the learning process and lowers academic achievement. Therefore, sustainable discipline development involving multiple stakeholders is necessary to create an effective learning environment and strong student character

This study aims to examine the optimization efforts made by the Apron Movement Control (AMC) unit in supervising and regulating the movement of people and vehicles in the airside area of ??Komodo International Airport, Labuan Bajo. The AMC unit is responsible for managing the movement of aircraft, people, and vehicles, including plotting parking stands, arranging ground handling, administering flight data, licensing airside vehicles, supervising engine run-up, apron cleanliness, and handling fuel spills. Supervision is carried out based on SOP, but in emergency situations such as aircraft skidding or unloading on the taxiway, the AMC must be able to adapt quickly to relevant safety procedures. This study uses a qualitative method with direct observation techniques, interviews with three AMC personnel, as well as SOP documentation and incident reports. The results show that the implementation of supervision and control has been running according to PM-IK standards. The focus of supervision includes aircraft movement, engine idle, GSE vehicle speed, completeness of worker PPE, and passenger arrangements to the aircraft. However, the main obstacle is the limited personnel which causes a high workload and supervision is not optimal, so that violations by service users or workers still occur and have the potential to endanger flight safety.
