The purpose of this research is to describe the development process of Student Worksheets based on cryptarithm that can enhance logical thinking abilities and to determine the validity and practicality results of the developed product. Cryptarithm is a means to develop students' logical thinking skills in the context of mathematics. The logical structure in cryptarithm encourages students to develop logical thinking skills. Students must be able to identify mathematical patterns and use logic to limit the possibility of substituting numbers for existing letters. This research is a development study using the R&D method. The development model used is ADDIE, which includes analyze, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The testing was conducted in two stages: a limited trial with 5 students and a broad-scale trial with 20 students. The research results indicate that the student worksheets is valid with a percentage score of 98.33% and can be considered practical for use by students as an effort to improve mathematical logical thinking abilities, with a practicality score of 87.13%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Cryptarithm-based student worksheets developed to enhance mathematical logical thinking abilities is categorized as Highly Valid and Highly Practical

The relationship between entrepreneurship programs, individual entrepreneurial orien-tation, and entrepreneurial intention can be strengthened by entrepreneurial motivation, which acts as an internal drive encouraging individuals to take action toward starting a business. Motivated individuals tend to explore ideas and identify market opportunities to build inde-pendent ventures. Universities play a crucial role by organizing programs that inspire students to pursue self-reliance through entrepreneurship, while also equipping them with relevant knowledge and practical experience to enhance their skills and risk-taking ability. At Univer-sitas Lampung (UNILA), these efforts are facilitated by the Center for Career and Entre-preneurship Development (CCED), which supports various entrepreneurship initiatives aimed at increasing students' motivation and providing hands-on experiences. These experiences strengthen students’ drive to start a business, as entrepreneurial intention is influenced by internal factors such as motivation, reinforced through direct program involvement. Hence, motivation can serve as a mediating variable that links entrepreneurship programs and indi-vidual entrepreneurial orientation with entrepreneurial intention.

Human resource development through Learning and Development (L&D) is a major challenge in improving employee performance in the service sector that is highly dependent on service quality. However, the mechanism of L&D's influence on HR performance involving employee engagement as a mediating variable is still not comprehensively understood. This study aims to analyze the influence of L&D on HR performance with employee engagement as a mediator in service companies in Jakarta. The method used is a quantitative survey with data collection through questionnaires to 120 employees, and data analysis using AMOS-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of the study indicate that L&D has a direct positive effect on HR performance and indirectly through increasing employee engagement, which acts as a significant mediator. This finding strengthens the theory of social learning and employee engagement and emphasizes the importance of integrating psychological aspects in employee development. The practical implication is that service sector management needs to design L&D programs that not only improve technical competence but also motivate employee engagement to maximize organizational performance. This study provides a relevant empirical contribution to the development of HR management theory and practice in the service sector.

The development of digitalisation and globalisation requires MSMEs to adopt effective and integrated digital marketing strategies to improve competitiveness in international markets. This study aims to examine the effect of an integrated digital marketing strategy, which combines multi-channel and digital alliance approaches, on MSME performance. A quantitative research method with a survey approach was used, involving a sample of MSMEs that have been actively using digital marketing for at least six months. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of AMOS software. The results showed that multi-channel integration and digital alliances significantly improved the marketing performance of MSMEs in facing the challenges of globalisation. The findings strengthen the Resource-Based Theory (RBT) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of MSME digital marketing. The practical implications of this research emphasise the importance of digital capability development and strategic collaboration as keys to the success of MSMEs in the global market. The research also provides recommendations for MSME players and policy makers to support training programmes and facilitation of sustainable digital alliances.

This article discusses how Civic Education can be a solution in facing the challenges of globalization, by instilling the values of Pancasila, love for the homeland, social responsibility, and strengthening national identity. The methods used are literature studies and qualitative analysis of various relevant sources. The results show that globalization brings a great challenge to Indonesia's national identity, especially among the younger generation. The flow of information and foreign culture that enters without borders can weaken the spirit of nationalism and local values such as mutual cooperation and tolerance. In this context, Civic Education (PKn) has a strategic role in building a strong national character and integrity. Emphasis on the importance of integrating national values in civil society is very important in forming a young generation that is resilient, critical, and ready to contribute to the global world without losing their identity as Indonesian citizens.

Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) abroad often face various social, legal, and cultural challenges that can increase their vulnerability in everyday life. One effort to minimize these vulnerabilities is through the establishment of regional community organizations as a platform for solidarity, advocacy, and cultural identity preservation. This community service activity aims to assist in the formation of the Ikatan Warga Ponorogo di Hong Kong (IWPH) — an association of PMI from Ponorogo working in Hong Kong. The methods employed include community needs assessment, facilitation of organizational meetings, formulation of organizational statutes and bylaws, and basic community-based advocacy training. The results of this activity showed high enthusiasm among PMI from Ponorogo to participate in this community as a forum for sharing information, social protection, and preserving regional cultural traditions abroad. Moreover, IWPH has begun to actively voice issues faced by PMI, such as overcharging, gender-based violence, and unclear employment contracts. The establishment of IWPH is expected to serve as a model for strengthening social networks and advocacy based on regional community groups, enhancing the bargaining power of Indonesian migrant workers abroad. This activity also reflects the contribution of higher education institutions in supporting the protection and empowerment of Indonesian migrant workers in various destination countries.
