Abstract

Background. The increasing use of technology in education, particularly application-based learning, has the potential to enhance language learning. Effective language acquisition relies on analyzing learning patterns to improve student engagement and outcomes. With the growing role of learning analytics, this research explores how technology can be applied to understand and improve language learning in a broader context. Purpose. The study aims to analyze language learning patterns through learning analytics and explore how technology can contribute to enhancing language learning in various contexts. Specifically, it focuses on identifying how different learning behaviors and engagement levels influence language proficiency. Method. A quantitative research approach was used, collecting data from 200 learners who utilized language learning applications. The data were analyzed to identify patterns in user engagement and learning behaviors, focusing on the relationship between time spent on different types of learning materials and language proficiency outcomes. Results. The findings reveal that learners who spent more time engaging with conversation and writing materials generally showed better language skills. In contrast, students with basic language proficiency were found to focus more on grammar and vocabulary materials. This suggests that more advanced learners benefit from interactive, communicative tasks, while beginners need a focus on foundational elements like grammar and vocabulary. Conclusion. The study concludes that language learning is more effective when it involves social and contextual interaction, rather than relying solely on passive methods like memorization. These findings offer valuable insights for the design of language learning applications that are more adaptive to student preferences, encouraging more personalized and engaging learning experiences. The research highlights the importance of considering different learning patterns to enhance the overall effectiveness of language learning technology.

Abstract

Background. Climate change is no longer a distant environmental issue but a present and intensifying force driving social and economic displacement across the globe. Vulnerable populations, particularly in the Global South, face disproportionate impacts in the form of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity, often leading to forced migration. These dynamics underscore the intersection between climate change and global inequality, raising urgent questions about justice, adaptation, and human mobility. Purpose. This study aims to explore the social dimensions of climate-induced migration, focusing on how environmental stressors exacerbate existing inequalities and shape patterns of displacement. The research also investigates the role of governance, infrastructure, and international aid in either mitigating or perpetuating migration-related vulnerabilities. Method. A qualitative-dominant mixed-methods approach was employed, including ethnographic fieldwork in two climate-affected regions, semi-structured interviews with 30 climate migrants, and analysis of secondary data from international climate and migration databases. Data were thematically analyzed to uncover recurring patterns and socio-political contexts surrounding climate mobility. Results. Findings reveal that climate migration is not solely an environmental issue but deeply intertwined with poverty, weak governance, and limited access to resources. Migrants often face legal ambiguity, social exclusion, and economic instability in host regions. The study highlights a growing need for inclusive climate adaptation policies that address both environmental and social dimensions. Conclusion. The study concludes that addressing climate migration requires integrated strategies that bridge environmental sustainability, social equity, and human rights protections to ensure just and humane responses to climate-induced displacement.

Abstract

Green accounting and sustainable finance have emerged as critical tools for promoting environmental sustainability and economic growth. Tax incentives are increasingly recognized as a key mechanism to encourage businesses to adopt green accounting practices and invest in sustainable projects. However, the effectiveness of tax incentives in driving sustainable finance remains underexplored, particularly in developing economies where environmental regulations are still evolving. This study aims to examine the role of tax incentives in promoting green accounting and sustainable finance, providing insights into how fiscal policies can support environmental sustainability. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing data from 200 companies in Indonesia. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between tax incentives, green accounting practices, and sustainable finance indicators, such as green investments and carbon footprint reduction. The findings reveal that tax incentives significantly enhance green accounting practices and sustainable finance. Companies benefiting from tax incentives reported higher levels of green investments and greater reductions in carbon emissions. The study also found that firm size and industry type moderate this relationship, with larger firms and those in environmentally sensitive industries showing stronger responses to tax incentives. This study highlights the importance of tax incentives in driving green accounting and sustainable finance. The results suggest that policymakers should design targeted tax policies to encourage businesses to adopt environmentally sustainable practices and contribute to global sustainability goals.

Abstract

Meditation has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance cognitive function and promote mental well-being. Previous studies have suggested that meditation can lead to structural changes in the brain, particularly in regions associated with attention, memory, and emotional regulation. However, the precise impact of meditation on brain structure and cognitive function in young adults remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effect of regular meditation practice on brain structure changes and cognitive function in young adults. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess brain changes and cognitive function assessments, such as attention, memory, and executive function tests, conducted before and after a 12-week meditation intervention. The results showed significant increases in gray matter density in areas related to attention and emotional regulation, including the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Cognitive testing revealed improvements in attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. These findings suggest that meditation can induce structural changes in the brain that enhance cognitive function, particularly in domains critical for academic and personal development. The study concludes that meditation can be an effective practice for promoting cognitive health and supporting brain development in young adults, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive intervention for cognitive enhancement.

Abstract

Education is a basic need for every human being to ensure that their life becomes more dignified. Therefore, the state has an obligation to provide quality educational services for every citizen without exception, including those who have different abilities (disabilities ) as regulated in the 1945 Constitution Article 31 paragraph 1. Education of children with special needs is a challenge in the world of education, because not all schools are willing to accept children with special needs in their educational environment. The implementation of inclusive education for children with special needs must be able to create a friendly, fun, flexible environment that can foster self-confidence in students and educators who have special abilities. The reality on the ground in the implementation of inclusive education is that not everything is in accordance with implementation guidelines, both in terms of student conditions, teacher qualifications, supporting infrastructure, parental support, as well as support from central and regional governments. Basically, the implementation of inclusive education for children with special needs is still a phenomenon.

Abstract

Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a mandatory form of almsgiving aimed at redistributing wealth and promoting economic justice. In Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, zakat has the potential to significantly impact income distribution and reduce poverty. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by inefficiencies in collection, distribution, and utilization. This study examines the impact of zakat on income distribution in Indonesia, focusing on its role in reducing economic inequality and promoting social welfare. The research aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with zakat management and propose strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative analysis of income distribution data with qualitative interviews with zakat institutions, beneficiaries, and policymakers. Data were analyzed to assess the impact of zakat on poverty alleviation, income inequality, and economic empowerment. The findings reveal that zakat has a modest but positive impact on income distribution, particularly in rural areas. However, inefficiencies in collection and distribution, as well as a lack of transparency, limit its potential to achieve broader economic justice. The study concludes that improving zakat management through better governance, transparency, and targeted distribution strategies is essential for maximizing its impact on income distribution. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic economics by providing practical recommendations for enhancing the role of zakat in promoting economic justice and social welfare in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze demographic and social factors that influence Subjective Wellbeing (SWB) of PAUD teachers in the archipelago. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, the research sample is 223 teachers. The sampling technique uses convenience sampling. The instrument used is the Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (TSWQ). The results showed that all demographic variables, namely age, gender, education level, and teaching experience, have a positive and significant relationship to SWB, with education level being the strongest predictor among demographic factors (r = 0.352**). Meanwhile, in social factors, the principal's leadership showed the highest correlation (r = 0.441**) to SWB, followed by co-worker support, community involvement, and relationships with students' parents. These findings indicate that teacher SWB is not only influenced by individual characteristics, but also by the quality of social interactions in the work environment and community. This study recommends the importance of strategies to improve teacher SWB through strengthening professional capacity and a supportive work environment.
