Abstract

This study maps research on Indonesian character in the digital era to clarify how national identity, technology, and future governance are connected in the literature. A bibliometric design was applied to Crossref metadata retrieved through Publish or Perish. From 1,000 records published between 2020 and 2025, 402 records met the predefined relevance and metadata criteria. Annual production, document sources, leading contributors, and term co-occurrence were analysed in VOSviewer 1.6.20. Publication output increased from 65 records in 2020 to a peak of 85 in 2023, before declining to 37 in 2025. Scientific journals accounted for 49.3% of the corpus. Term mapping retained 104 terms and identified four connected clusters: moral and personal formation, civic-pedagogical capacity, rights and institutions, and development and welfare. The least dense areas concerned democratic institutions, welfare, human development, health, and regional inequality. The study’s contribution is a future-governance interpretation of character research: digital citizenship, ethical AI use, and human-centred public innovation should be studied as integral, rather than peripheral, dimensions of Indonesian character.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) has reshaped cryptocurrency trading, yet comparative cross-chain evaluations remain scarce, particularly in transaction efficiency, liquidity sustainability, and economic viability. This study conducts an on-chain comparative analysis of Uniswap (Ethereum), Raydium (Solana), and PancakeSwap (BSC) by examining transaction count, trade volume, protocol revenue, and total value locked (TVL). Using real-time blockchain data from DefiLlama, Dune Analytics, Artemis, Token Terminal, and Arkham, this research applies quantitative cross-chain modeling to assess the performance of each ecosystem. Findings reveal that Ethereum leads in trade volume and liquidity depth, driven by institutional adoption despite high transaction costs. Solana exhibits superior transaction efficiency, attracting high-frequency traders, though its lower TVL suggests liquidity retention challenges. BSC, once a major DeFi player, now faces stagnation, with declining trade volume and fragmented liquidity. Unlike prior studies focusing solely on transaction metrics, this research integrates protocol revenue as a sustainability indicator, offering a broader understanding of DEX viability. The results underscore the need for cross-chain liquidity bridges and Layer-2 scaling solutions to mitigate liquidity fragmentation and enhance DeFi efficiency. This study contributes to both academia and industry by providing empirical insights for blockchain developers, investors, and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of scalability, liquidity incentives, and revenue optimization. The findings support future research on multi-chain liquidity integration, AI-driven market-making, and governance frameworks, guiding the next evolution of decentralized financial ecosystems.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the global labor market, presenting both opportunities and challenges. This study investigates the extent of AI-driven job displacement and task transformation across industries, highlighting sector-specific vulnerabilities and workforce perceptions. Using secondary data from Statista’s global surveys (2022–2023), involving 22,816 employees, 1,684 business leaders, and 803 corporations, the study employs descriptive statistical analysis to identify patterns of job disruption and skill adaptation. The findings reveal that AI primarily reshapes job functions rather than eliminating entire occupations, with 57% of respondents reporting task augmentation and 36% expressing concern about job loss. Routine-based sectors, such as manufacturing and customer service, face higher displacement risks, while knowledge-based professions, including healthcare, education, and creative industries, experience AI as a complementary tool. Additionally, disparities in AI adoption are evident between large corporations and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), often due to resource limitations and varying digital readiness. The study concludes that successful AI integration hinges on proactive strategies, including continuous workforce reskilling, adaptive education systems, and ethical AI deployment. Policymakers, industry leaders, and educational institutions must collaborate to ensure an inclusive transition, prioritizing digital literacy and skills development. Future research should explore regional variations, firm-level case studies, and the long-term socio-economic impacts of AI adoption. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of balancing technological advancement with workforce resilience to foster sustainable economic growth in an AI-driven era.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education has transformed pedagogical strategies and academic approaches of learners. In response to this emerging trend, this study investigated how AI tools are used in teaching at Central Luzon State University Laboratory for Teaching and Learning-University Science High School (CLTL-USHS) and their impacts on students’ learning styles. Employing a phenomenological qualitative research design, hybrid semi-structured interviews were conducted with four teachers and eight Senior High School students over a period of three weeks, with CLSU ethics approval. Findings indicated that teachers frequently use AI tools for plagiarism checking, content generation, lesson planning, and promoting interactive learning, while students perceived AI-supported learning as more personalized, efficient, and engaging, but also recognized challenges such as overdependence, less teacher-student interaction, and concerns about content validity. Through thematic analysis, six main themes with an emphasis of the supportive and challenging function of AI in traditional pedagogy were identified. These findings reflect that while AI tools provide many advantages in forming adaptive learning environments, cautious guidelines should be established to keep educational propriety and human touch in classrooms. The study recommends more teacher training, the development of AI literacy, and ethical guidelines for the responsible use of AI in education.

Abstract

This study introduces the science of learning, unlearning, and relearning to explore the processes of learning, unlearning, and relearning within organisational contexts, offering a novel conceptual framework of bonsai thinking. The framework emphasises the cyclical nature of these processes, integrating cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions to foster continuous organisational development. This paper applies the System Test to investigate the three system archetypes that build and evaluate my definition of a learning-unlearning-relearning cycle – bonsai thinking. Using a metaphorical approach for theory-building, I introduce a discipline of bonsai thinking through its purpose, which implies that everything in nature is never complete (life-long learning), the need for creating meaningful controlled environments (life-wide learning), and as the art of bonsai involves shaping and training a tree to achieve a specific aesthetic, the art of learning to achieve a specific purpose (as I propose calling it life-deep learning). Through its elements, I suggest a new definition of a learning cycle: pruning for unlearning, wiring and positioning for relearning, and then watering and fertilising for learning. And through the interconnections, I base my approach to learning, unlearning, and relearning on the Trilogy of Mind — cognition, affection, conation, and on what I call the Trilogy of Education — neuroscience, happiness studies, and future studies to highlight the interconnectedness of thinking, feeling, and acting and offer a holistic approach to organisational learning. This study further discusses the practical implications of the framework for organisational development and highlights the need for future empirical research to validate the proposed model. The contribution of this research lies in introducing a novel 3D approach to organisational learning that integrates all three dimensions of human engagement, offering new insights into how organisations can effectively navigate continuous change and foster long-term growth.
