Abstract

Humanistic principal leadership is essential for fostering inclusive Early Childhood Education (ECE), yet remains underexplored in Indonesia’s inclusive schools. This study examined how principals practice humanistic leadership in two inclusive kindergartens in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, to support diverse learning environments. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews with two principals, eight teachers, four parents, and document analysis at Pelita Hati and Bina Sejahtera Kindergartens. Thematic analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s framework. Results show humanistic leadership is reflected in embracing diversity, building supportive environments, and facilitating collaboration. Principals lead through participatory decision-making, empathy, care, and promoting each child’s potential, shaping an inclusive, humanistic school culture. The study offers insights into how humanistic leadership operates in inclusive ECE, providing a practical reference for principals and policymakers to strengthen inclusive, child-centered education.

Abstract

Self-confidence is a critical component of children’s personal and academic development, enabling them to engage actively in learning and social interactions. Elementary school students with low self-confidence often face challenges in expressing themselves, participating in group activities, and achieving academic success. This study investigates the effectiveness of group counseling in enhancing self-confidence among elementary school students. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. The sample consisted of 60 students identified as having low self-confidence, divided equally into an experimental group that received group counseling sessions and a control group following standard classroom activities. Data were collected through self-confidence questionnaires, behavioral observation sheets, and teacher interviews. The findings revealed a significant increase in self-confidence scores in the experimental group compared to the control group. Students in the experimental group demonstrated greater willingness to participate in discussions, share ideas, and take initiative in various school activities. These results confirm that group counseling effectively fosters a supportive environment where students can build self-assurance through peer interaction and guided facilitation. The study concludes that group counseling is a valuable tool for addressing self-confidence issues and recommends its broader implementation in elementary schools.

Abstract

Engaging urban youth in social entrepreneurship presents a significant challenge, often hindered by perceived complexity and a lack of motivational frameworks. This study investigates the potential of gamification to foster social innovation and entrepreneurial behaviors among this demographic. The primary objective was to experimentally measure the impact of a gamified intervention on the pro-social entrepreneurial intentions and idea generation quality of urban youth. This research employed a behavioral experiment with a pre-test/post-test control group design, involving 150 urban youths aged 18-24. The experimental group interacted with a gamified digital platform designed to guide them through social venture creation, incorporating points, badges, and collaborative leaderboards. In contrast, the control group used a non-gamified version of the same platform. The results revealed that participants in the gamified condition demonstrated significantly higher levels of engagement, produced more innovative and viable social solutions, and reported a greater increase in entrepreneurial self-efficacy compared to the control group. In conclusion, gamification serves as a powerful and effective strategy to lower entry barriers and motivate urban youth, channeling their creativity toward developing impactful social innovations and fostering a new generation of community-focused entrepreneurs.

Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications, particularly as contrast agents in tumor imaging. Early and accurate tumor detection is critical for improving treatment outcomes, yet current imaging techniques often lack sensitivity and specificity. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize magnetic nanoparticles for their potential as contrast agents in tumor imaging. The nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method, followed by surface modification with organic compounds to enhance stability and targeting specificity. Characterization included transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cytotoxicity and targeting efficiency were evaluated in vitro using cultured human tumor cells. The results demonstrated that the synthesized nanoparticles had an average size of 25 ± 5 nm, superparamagnetic properties with a saturation magnetization of 55 emu/g, and high colloidal stability due to surface modifications. Fluorescence imaging revealed significant accumulation of the nanoparticles in tumor cells, while cytotoxicity tests showed cell viability above 85% at concentrations up to 100 ?g/mL. These findings indicate the nanoparticles are safe and effective for tumor imaging. This study highlights the importance of integrating synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation to optimize nanoparticle design for biomedical applications. While the results are promising, further in vivo studies are needed to evaluate nanoparticle distribution, accumulation, and clearance in complex biological systems. The findings provide a foundation for future research and development of advanced contrast agents for tumor imaging

Abstract

The increasing prominence of creative entrepreneurship has been driven by shifts in consumer behavior, technological advancements, and changing work environments. Both the Millennial and Generation Z cohorts exhibit distinct entrepreneurial tendencies, shaped by different societal, technological, and economic contexts. However, there remains a gap in understanding how these generational differences impact the development of a creative entrepreneurship mindset. This study aims to compare the creative entrepreneurship mindset between Millennials and Generation Z, examining the factors that influence their entrepreneurial behaviors, decision-making, and approach to creative industries. A comparative research design was employed, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. A total of 200 participants, 100 Millennials and 100 Generation Z individuals, were surveyed and interviewed. The survey focused on key entrepreneurial traits such as risk-taking, innovation, and adaptability, while the interviews provided deeper insights into their motivations, challenges, and perceptions regarding creative entrepreneurship. The findings indicate significant differences between the two generations in terms of risk tolerance, innovation, and digital fluency. Generation Z tends to exhibit higher levels of digital fluency and a preference for social media-driven entrepreneurship, while Millennials show more inclination towards traditional business models. Additionally, Generation Z shows a stronger preference for flexible, remote work environments, valuing autonomy and self-expression. The study concludes that while both generations demonstrate entrepreneurial potential, their approaches to creative entrepreneurship differ significantly. Understanding these differences can help educators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs develop tailored support programs to foster entrepreneurial growth in both generations.

Abstract

The rapid depletion of forest ecosystems worldwide has led to an increasing need for sustainable forest management practices. One promising approach to incentivize conservation efforts is the implementation of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs. PES aims to financially reward individuals or communities who provide ecological services, such as maintaining forest cover, conserving biodiversity, and improving water quality. Despite growing interest in PES, its effectiveness as a tool for sustainable forest management remains an area of active research. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PES programs in promoting sustainable forest management and enhancing the livelihoods of local communities. Specifically, the research examines the impact of PES on forest conservation practices, economic benefits for participants, and the long-term sustainability of forest ecosystems. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining both qualitative and quantitative data. Surveys were conducted with 150 households involved in PES programs across three forest regions. In-depth interviews with local stakeholders, including forest managers, government officials, and community leaders, were also carried out. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to assess the outcomes of PES programs. The findings suggest that PES programs have led to increased forest conservation efforts, improved local livelihoods, and greater awareness of ecosystem services. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, lack of technical support, and limited participation of marginalized groups were identified as barriers to full program effectiveness. PES programs can be a viable tool for sustainable forest management, provided that they are properly funded, inclusive, and supported by strong governance frameworks. Long-term success will depend on overcoming existing challenges and ensuring equitable participation.
