Economic growth in ASEAN countries in recent decades has attracted the attention of many parties, both academics and practitioners. This study evaluates the various factors contributing to ASEAN countries' economic growth. The factors analyzed include human development index, exports, foreign investment, exchange rates, population, and dummy variables (before and after) the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a quantitative approach with the object of research, namely ASEAN countries, from 2018 to 2022. Data sources from the World Bank, the National Statistics Bureau, and other credible sources. Based on the results of the analysis, the human development index and foreign investment have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. In contrast, exports, exchange rates, population, and dummy variables positively and insignificantly impact economic growth. Suggestions that can be given are that each country must pay attention, especially to policies on exports, which include duties, excise, and taxes. In addition, a large quantity of population does not guarantee the success of a nation, therefore it is necessary to pay attention to the quality side as well, this can be done by paying attention to the education side which correlates with the demand for labor, so that there is no imbalance between demand and supply of labor.

Public service is a reflection of the relationship between the state and its citizens, measured through the effectiveness, accessibility, and accountability of bureaucracy in fulfilling basic public rights. This article examines public services from an administrative perspective by focusing on the principles of goods categorization (public goods, private goods, club goods, and common goods) and the classification of service types (goods and services). The study adopts a qualitative literature review approach by analyzing scholarly literature and public policy documents. The findings indicate that a precise understanding of public goods classification has strategic implications for policy formulation, resource allocation, and bureaucratic performance evaluation. This study further highlights that public service reform in Indonesia continues to face structural and cultural challenges, particularly in integrating good governance values and new public service principles. The article recommends a conceptual and institutional renewal to ensure that service systems are more adaptive to digital and inclusive societal dynamics.

Arya Global Dinamika adalah perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang manufaktur yang dimana barang produksinya melibatkan penggunaan mesin bubut CNC (Computer Numeric Control). Kekasaran permukaan merupakan indikator penting dalam menilai kualitas hasil pembubutan pada mesin CNC. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh variasi kecepatan putar spindle terhadap kekasaran permukaan pada baja karbon rendah S45C. Pengujian ini dilakukan pada pembubutan rata dengan kecepatan putar 600 rpm, 800 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm dan 1500 rpm, kecepatan pemakanan 0,5 mm/rev. Hasil ini menunjukkan kekasaran permukaan menurun secara signifikan seiring peningkatan kecepatan dari 600 rpm hingga 1000 rpm, dari 3,085 µm menjadi 1,049 µm. Namun, pada kecepatan 1200 rpm hingga 1500 rpm kekasaran meningkat kembali menjadi 1,718 µm hingga 2,197 µm. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya kecepatan optimum, dimana kecepatan berlebih justru menurunkan kualitas akibat getaran dan panas berlebih. Dengan demikian, kecepatan putar berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kekasaran, namun perlu dikendalikan untuk hasil maksimal.

This study aims to analyze the Implementation of the Policy of the Directorate General of Islamic Education Circular No. 10 of 2024 concerning the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) at the Tarogong Islamic Boarding School, Garut Regency, and its impact on students' learning motivation. Education, especially in Islamic boarding schools, requires special attention regarding adequate nutritional access for students, which has a significant impact on the learning process. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design, which allows researchers to explore in depth the experiences and perceptions of students, teachers, Islamic boarding school leaders, kitchen managers and parents regarding this program. The results of the study indicate that this policy has a positive impact on students' learning motivation, where the majority of students reported increased enthusiasm and concentration in participating in learning after receiving nutritious food intake regularly. However, there are challenges in its implementation, such as the quality of distribution and the need for training for supporting staff. This study provides recommendations for related parties to improve collaboration between educational institutions, local governments, and logistics providers for the sustainability of the program, as well as implementing evaluation mechanisms to improve aspects that are less effective. In conclusion, the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) not only functions as a nutritional intervention, but also as an important strategy in improving the motivation and learning achievement of students in Islamic boarding schools.

The Kani Wujo Ikat Weaving Group in Tiwatobi Village, Ile Mandiri District is a representation of local wisdom that plays an important role in maintaining cultural identity and supporting the local community's economy. However, the group's development faces challenges in the form of limited product innovation, narrow market access, and lack of managerial training that meets local needs. This study aims to examine an empowerment model based on local wisdom and community participation to strengthen the sustainability of the Kani Wujo Ikat Weaving Group. The type of research used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interview techniques, participatory observation, and documentation studies, involving weavers, traditional leaders, and village officials as the main informants. Data analysis is carried out interactively through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, according to the Miles and Huberman analysis model. The results of the study show that group empowerment based on local wisdom and community participation encourages the maintenance of cultural values in weaving production, strengthens social solidarity, and increases adaptation to information technology in marketing. However, there is also a need to improve design innovation, expand market access, and strengthen the capacity of group financial literacy. In conclusion, approaches based on local wisdom and community participation are effective in maintaining the sustainability of traditional businesses and strengthening the economic resilience of communities. The suggestion for further research is to expand the focus on developing cultural-based business model adaptation strategies in the midst of global market dynamics and to quantitatively assess the economic impact of community empowerment based on local wisdom.

This study aims to analyze educational planning at SMK IT Minnatul Huda in Purwakarta Regency with a focus on the suitability of the majors offered with the needs of the workforce. It was found that there was a significant mismatch between the expertise programs offered and the employment profile in the local area, which caused many graduates to have difficulty in getting jobs that match their fields of study. The research method used was a qualitative approach with a case study method, through in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, including schools, teachers, alumni, as well as observation and analysis of related documents. The results of the study indicate that existing educational planning is not yet based on systematic labor market needs data and there is weak active collaboration with the Business World and Industry (DUDI). This study recommends the need to develop a better employment data collection and analysis system, increase partnerships with DUDI, and implement the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) in the curriculum. With these steps, it is hoped that SMK graduates can be more ready to work, adapt to the dynamics of the labor market, and contribute to the development of competitive human resources in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the influence of character competencies and the intensity of virtual item purchases on the financial management of PUBG Mobile players in Indonesia. Character competencies are studied through indicators of discipline, responsibility, investment, driving factors and self-control. Meanwhile, the purchase intensity of virtual items is measured based on the frequency of purchases, the number of items purchased, the level of satisfaction, the desire to buy, and the type of items purchased, such as skins, weapons, and clothing. A descriptive-verifiable approach was used in this study, with a structured questionnaire distributed to 61 active PUBG Mobile players who had purchased virtual items. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 4 to evaluate the validity and reliability of the measurement model, as well as identify the relationships and significance between variables. The results showed that character competence and the intensity of purchasing virtual items significantly affected players' financial management practices. Players with a higher level of character skill tend to have good discipline and self-control, which allows them to manage the game budget more efficiently and not spend too much. In contrast, intensive purchasing behaviors are associated with increased awareness of financial limits, where players adjust their spending habits to balance in-game needs and real-life priorities. This research emphasizes how important character competencies are to encourage players to make wise financial decisions. The study also emphasizes how important it is for players to understand how their purchasing intensity is, which can help them make better financial planning
