Abstract

Background. Classical texts have long served as the foundation for historical interpretation, shaping our understanding of past events, philosophies, and cultural legacies. However, the authority of these texts has been questioned as critical philology increasingly reveals the complex layers of translation, adaptation, and contextualization that shape historical narratives. Revisiting classical sources through the lens of critical philology allows for a more nuanced understanding of their role in historical interpretation and the authority they hold in shaping intellectual and cultural traditions. Purpose. This study aims to examine the authority of classical texts in historical interpretation, focusing on how critical philology can reveal the ways in which these texts have been manipulated, adapted, and re-contextualized. It explores the implications of these processes for our understanding of historical events and intellectual traditions. Method. A critical philological approach is employed, analyzing key classical texts alongside their translations, commentaries, and later adaptations. Textual analysis is complemented by historical contextualization to uncover the shifts in meaning and authority across different periods and cultures. Results. The study reveals that classical texts are not fixed repositories of knowledge but dynamic works whose meanings have evolved over time. The manipulation of these texts in different historical contexts significantly affects their authority in shaping historical narratives. Conclusion. This research demonstrates the importance of revisiting classical sources through critical philology to reassess their role in historical interpretation, offering new insights into the fluid nature of textual authority.

Abstract

Tropical forests are critical to global biodiversity and climate regulation. However, they face increasing threats from deforestation, climate change, and unsustainable land use practices. Ethnoforestry, the integration of indigenous knowledge and forest management practices, has emerged as a crucial component of both ecological and social resilience. Indigenous communities have long managed tropical forests using sustainable practices that ensure the balance of ecosystems while supporting local livelihoods. This research explores the role of ethnoforestry as a pillar of resilience in tropical forest regions. This study aims to investigate how ethnoforestry practices contribute to social and ecological resilience in tropical forests. Specifically, it seeks to understand the mechanisms through which indigenous forest management practices help mitigate environmental degradation and enhance community well-being. A qualitative approach was used, including field observations, interviews with indigenous forest managers, and analysis of case studies from tropical forest regions in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key practices that promote resilience. The findings highlight that ethnoforestry practices, such as agroforestry, selective logging, and forest regeneration, contribute significantly to both biodiversity conservation and social cohesion. These practices foster sustainable resource use, mitigate environmental degradation, and enhance the adaptive capacity of communities. Ethnoforestry plays a vital role in enhancing the resilience of both ecosystems and human communities in tropical forests. Integrating indigenous knowledge into forest management strategies is essential for achieving long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Technology-enhanced learning has become increasingly prominent in primary education as schools integrate interactive digital platforms to support teaching and learning. These platforms are widely assumed to enhance student engagement and academic achievement, yet empirical evidence at the primary level remains uneven and context dependent. This study aims to examine the effects of interactive digital platforms on student engagement and academic achievement in primary education, with particular attention to the relationship between engagement dimensions and learning outcomes. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design involving experimental and control groups of primary school students. Data were collected using engagement questionnaires, curriculum-aligned achievement tests, classroom observations, and academic records. Inferential statistical analyses were conducted to compare group differences and examine relationships between engagement and achievement. The findings reveal that students exposed to interactive digital platforms demonstrated significantly higher levels of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement than those receiving conventional instruction. Academic achievement scores were also significantly higher in the experimental group. Correlation analysis indicates a strong positive relationship between student engagement and achievement outcomes. The study concludes that interactive digital platforms positively influence engagement-driven learning in primary education when integrated within structured pedagogical practices. Technology-enhanced learning is most effective when engagement functions as a central mechanism linking digital interaction to academic success.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are vital for economic growth in many developing countries, including Indonesia. However, these businesses face significant challenges related to management inefficiencies, limited access to resources, and lack of technological adoption. This study aims to develop a cloud-based Management Information System (MIS) specifically tailored for MSMEs. The system is designed to improve operational efficiency, enhance decision-making, and facilitate better management practices for MSMEs in Indonesia. The research utilizes a design and development approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data was collected through surveys and interviews with MSME owners and managers to identify their needs and challenges. The MIS was then developed using cloud computing technologies and tested with a sample of MSMEs. The cloud-based MIS successfully streamlined key management processes such as inventory tracking, financial management, and customer relationship management. Users reported increased operational efficiency, easier data access, and better decision-making capabilities. The system proved scalable, allowing MSMEs of different sizes and sectors to benefit from the technology. The study concludes that cloud computing-based MIS can significantly improve the management processes of MSMEs, contributing to their growth and sustainability.

Abstract

At-risk youth frequently encounter significant socio-economic obstacles, leading to high vulnerability to unemployment and social exclusion. Community-based entrepreneurship training programs are increasingly employed as vital interventions to foster self-sufficiency and build economic resilience. However, empirical evidence specifically quantifying their direct impact on the entrepreneurial mindset of this marginalized demographic remains limited. This research aims to assess the impact of a community-based entrepreneurship training program on fostering an entrepreneurial mindset—specifically entrepreneurial knowledge, self-confidence, and business intention—among at-risk youth. The study also explores the influential role of support factors like mentorship. A mixed-methods design was implemented. The quantitative phase utilized pre- and post-program surveys (N=100) to measure changes in key indicators. The qualitative phase included semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to gain deeper insights into participant experiences and mindset shifts. Data was analyzed using paired t-tests and thematic analysis. Quantitative analysis showed a statistically significant increase across all measured indicators post-program. Entrepreneurial knowledge and confidence in starting a business saw dramatic increases, from 28% to 85% and 32% to 80% respectively. Furthermore, the intention to pursue entrepreneurship rose from 40% to 75%. Qualitative results underscored the crucial role of mentorship and peer networking in translating knowledge into actionable plans. The findings confirm that tailored community-based entrepreneurship training is highly effective and transformative, not only equipping at-risk youth with technical skills but also significantly empowering them psychologically to pursue entrepreneurship as a viable path for socio-economic mobility. This model warrants continued adoption and scalable implementation.
