Kaizen, which focuses on continuous improvement through individual contributions, is applied to establish better work discipline and improve the quality of education. The results of the application of Kaizen are expected to create a more productive work environment and support the success of education in PAUD.

The growing emphasis on sustainability within education requires teachers to integrate environmentally responsible technologies in their teaching practices. This study examines educators’ adoption of green digital technologies by exploring the influence of psychological readiness, digital competence, and institutional support.

Using a cross-sectional design and data from 200 educators in Indonesia, the findings demonstrate that digital competence and institutional support significantly influence sustainable technology adoption, with psychological readiness acting as a mediator. This study highlights the importance of aligning technological innovation with sustainability goals and provides implications for teacher professional development, institutional policy, and sustainable education strategies.

Data was collected by analyzing the brand’s social media posts, particularly those that included men in flashy environments wearing black Thawb. The researchers’ analysis shows that the thawb's black color is loaded with connotative meanings of strength, grace and authority, while vibrant purple background enhances associations with success and high social status. This indoctrination promotes a myth that, ala Muslim style, real manliness is associated with being bold, assertive and top gun. The findings of the research indicate that representations of Muslim fashion are suggestive, not only about aesthetics for both men and women, but also gendering practices, social identity and difference. Learn how semiotics in branding strategies can assist the fashion industry to build an image that corresponds with the target market's values and tastes.

The spread of juvenile street illegal car races among teenagers has raised the attention and then delinquency aspects as well, which stems from weak social reinforcement (control) factors, interpersonal communication defect in the family and missing fields for good interests. This research seeks to examine the kinds of social interaction among illegal street racers, investigate their motivations for involvement and uncover the symbolism underlying the interactions of the community of outlaw street racers. The research method is descriptive qualitative approach with phenomenology pattern and using Max Weber's Social Action theory as an analysis model. Data were collected from direct observation, in-depth interviews, documentation of the participants and their families and surroundings as well as garage owners’ sources. The study’s findings suggest that illegal street racing is not only deviant behaviour, but it also serves as a symbolic means of communication where teenagers establish and present their identity, voice membership in society, group loyalty. This is adolescents’ “deprivation of social existence” and VIP room of self-realization. Thus, moves to combating this must be through mutually sympathetic and educational communication and for it ever to work: long enough sticks and comfortably placed legal outlets for these interests of automotive controversy.
