Abstract

Background. The rapid evolution of digital technologies has significantly impacted corporate training methods. Traditional e-learning environments have been widely adopted, yet the emergence of ubiquitous learning (u-learning) presents a shift towards more flexible, context-aware learning experiences. Despite the growing interest, limited studies provide a comparative analysis between e-learning and u-learning in corporate settings. Purpose. This research aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of e-learning and u-learning environments in corporate training, focusing on learner engagement, content delivery, and overall performance. Method. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with corporate employees who participated in both e-learning and u-learning training programs. Data were collected across several multinational companies, and analyzed using statistical tools to identify performance trends and engagement metrics. Results. Findings reveal that u-learning environments enhance learner engagement and adaptability due to their flexibility in accessing content across diverse devices and contexts. Conversely, e-learning showed better outcomes in structured, course-driven scenarios but lacked the same level of interaction and contextual learning. Conclusion. The study concludes that u-learning environments provide a more personalized and engaging training experience, particularly for employees with diverse learning needs. Organizations should consider integrating u-learning strategies alongside traditional e-learning for more dynamic corporate training programs.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation technologies has transformed various aspects of modern life, from labor markets to public services. While AI offers potential for innovation and efficiency, it also raises significant concerns regarding social equity, especially for marginalized and underrepresented communities. These concerns highlight the need for a critical examination of how AI systems may reinforce or mitigate existing societal disparities. This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities that AI poses to social equity in the age of automation. The research focuses on identifying potential biases in AI-driven decision-making processes and assessing the impact of automation on employment, education, and access to services. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews with stakeholders from policy, tech industry, and affected communities, alongside quantitative analysis of labor and demographic data. This methodological design allows for a comprehensive understanding of both structural and experiential dimensions of AI’s impact. The findings reveal that while AI has the potential to improve service delivery and expand access to information, its deployment often reflects and amplifies existing inequalities when ethical and inclusive frameworks are absent. Particularly in automated hiring systems and predictive policing, biases embedded in algorithms disproportionately affect vulnerable groups. The study concludes that addressing AI's social equity implications requires intentional design, inclusive policy, and sustained public engagement. As automation continues to reshape society, equity must become a central consideration in AI development and governance.

Abstract

Background. This study evaluates the implementation of the Jaring Pengaman Sosial (JPS) program, focusing on vulnerable groups in urban and rural areas in Indonesia. Social protection policies are critical in addressing the needs of marginalized populations, especially during times of economic instability. However, the effectiveness and accessibility of such programs often vary significantly between urban and rural regions due to differences in infrastructure, administrative capacity, and socio-economic conditions. Purpose. The primary aim of this research is to assess the impact of JPS on urban and rural beneficiaries, examining differences in access to benefits, program satisfaction, and the specific challenges faced by each group. Method. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 500 participants (250 urban and 250 rural). Data analysis revealed that urban beneficiaries had higher satisfaction rates and better access to benefits, particularly cash transfers, while rural beneficiaries faced logistical barriers, including delays in benefit distribution and limited access to information. Results. The findings highlight significant disparities in the implementation and effectiveness of social protection programs across geographic regions. Conclusion. The study concludes that tailored interventions are necessary to ensure equitable access to benefits, particularly in rural areas, and recommends improving program delivery and targeting mechanisms to better address regional needs.

Abstract

Background. Urbanization and industrial activities have increased waste generation, leading to environmental degradation and negative health impacts. Proper waste management in personal and communal spaces is critical for promoting sustainability, reducing pollution, and improving human well-being. Despite awareness campaigns, the adoption of effective waste reduction and recycling practices remains inconsistent, highlighting the need to understand factors influencing individual and community behavior toward waste management. Purpose. This study aimed to explore strategies for reducing waste in living and working spaces and to assess their impact on environmental sustainability and human health. Specifically, it investigated how organized waste management practices, recycling initiatives, and behavioral interventions contribute to creating greener and healthier environments. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys of 350 urban residents, observations of household and office waste management practices, and interviews with sustainability experts. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, while qualitative responses were coded thematically to identify common practices, challenges, and motivators. Results. The findings indicate that consistent waste segregation, adoption of reusable materials, and community-led recycling programs significantly reduce environmental impact and improve perceived cleanliness and health outcomes. Educational interventions and visible waste management infrastructures were positively correlated with higher participation rates. Conclusion. Effective waste management in personal and communal spaces can substantially contribute to environmental sustainability and public health. Policy makers and educators should prioritize awareness campaigns, accessible recycling infrastructure, and behaviorally-informed strategies to enhance waste reduction practices in urban settings.
