<![CDATA[This study examines the role of information technology (IT) in improving the performance of rural enterprises, with a specific focus on Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Banten Province, Indonesia. While digital transformation has reshaped business practices, many rural enterprises continue to rely on manual systems, limiting efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness. This study adopts a qualitative narrative literature review approach to synthesize existing knowledge on IT adoption and organizational performance in rural enterprise contexts. The review draws on approximately 30–40 academic sources published between 2014 and 2026, including peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and institutional reports retrieved from databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and SINTA. Data were analyzed using content and thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and conceptual relationships. The review identifies four dominant themes linking IT adoption to rural enterprise performance: operational efficiency, data-informed decision-making, financial transparency, and business competitiveness. Rather than providing direct empirical evidence, this study integrates prior findings to develop a conceptual framework that explains how IT contributes to performance improvement under varying levels of digital readiness. The study contributes by offering a synthesized and integrative perspective on IT adoption in rural enterprises and by proposing a framework that highlights the roles of digital literacy, infrastructure readiness, and institutional support as enabling conditions. However, as a literature-based review, this study does not establish causal relationships and should be interpreted as a conceptual foundation that requires further empirical validation.]]>

<![CDATA[This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on public sector audit recommendations using the PRISMA framework. From an initial pool of approximately 730 articles, a total of 60 articles (30 Scopus and 30 Google Scholar) published between 2000 and 2025 were selected based on predefined criteria. However, no formal quality appraisal was conducted; thus, the findings reflect aggregated evidence rather than weighted conclusions. Thematic analysis identifies five dominant themes: follow-up effectiveness, determinants of implementation, corruption prevention, the role of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), and performance auditing. These themes emerged from recurring patterns across studies. The findings indicate that audit recommendation follow-up is predominantly associated with improvements in financial reporting quality and public accountability, although some studies report null or context-dependent results. Institutional factors particularly leadership commitment, auditor competence, and audit independence are key determinants. While international and Indonesian studies show broadly similar patterns, the dominance of Indonesian evidence limits generalizability. This review provides a structured synthesis but should be interpreted as indicative rather than causal.]]>

<![CDATA[This study is motivated by the need to stimulate early childhood learning through culturally grounded educational games to improve reading readiness in kindergarten settings. The introduction of reading concepts through culturally familiar and engaging media is believed to support early literacy development in a more meaningful way. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology using the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The research subjects were Grade B students of TK Sani Ashilla, Padang City. A small group trial involved 10 children in one class, and a field trial involved 23 children across two classes. The findings indicate that the educational game product received a content expert validation score of 100% (Very Valid), a Minangkabau cultural expert validation score of 87% (Very Valid), and a media expert validation score of 73% (Valid). The practicality test yielded a score of 95.5% (Very Practical), while the effectiveness test yielded a score of 88.52% (Effective). Based on these results, the Minangkabau culture-based educational game is declared suitable for use as an instructional medium for early childhood reading readiness.]]>

<![CDATA[Early reading literacy skills of early childhood children at Az-Zahra Islamic School Kindergarten have not developed optimally due to reliance on conventional media that is less interactive and varied. This study aims to: (1) measure the validity level of the developed digital-based children's storybook; (2) determine the level of practicality of its use by PAUD teachers; and (3) evaluate its effectiveness in improving early reading literacy of children aged 5–6 years. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects were 60 children aged 5–6 years from three PAUD institutions, with 19 children as the main effectiveness test subjects. The product was developed using the Canva and Heyzine Flipbook platforms, containing audio narration, animation, and interactive illustrations integrated with the character value of tolerance. Validation was carried out by two expert validators from Padang State University. The validation results showed an average of 92% (media experts: 90%; instrument experts: 94%), categorized as Very Valid. The practicality test obtained a score of 95% (Very Practical). Effectiveness testing showed an increase from 82% in the initial trial to 91% in full implementation, with 84% of children (16 of 19) achieving the Very Well Developed (BSB) category. These findings confirm that the developed digital storybook is valid, practical, and effective in supporting early childhood reading literacy, as well as relevant to the implementation of the Independent Curriculum.]]>

<![CDATA[Praktik penghindaran pajak (tax avoidance) dan penggelapan pajak (tax evasion) terus menjadi tantangan dalam sistem perpajakan modern karena berpotensi mengurangi penerimaan negara serta mengganggu kepastian hukum. Dalam konteks hukum pidana, dikenal konsep administrative penal law, yaitu ketentuan hukum administrasi yang memuat sanksi pidana, termasuk dalam regulasi perpajakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan konsep administrative penal law dalam penanganan tindak pidana perpajakan di Indonesia dan Australia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan perbandingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Australia memiliki pengaturan yang lebih tegas terkait pertanggungjawaban pidana perpajakan, termasuk penerapan konsep absolute liability dan sistem administrasi perpajakan yang lebih terintegrasi untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan wajib pajak. Sementara itu, pengaturan di Indonesia masih menitikberatkan pada pendekatan represif melalui sanksi pidana dengan koordinasi administratif yang belum optimal. Persamaan kedua negara terletak pada penggunaan sanksi pidana sebagai instrumen perlindungan kepentingan fiskal negara, sedangkan perbedaannya tampak pada tingkat efektivitas penegakan hukum dan model pertanggungjawaban pidana yang diterapkan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pengembangan konsep administrative penal law di Indonesia perlu diarahkan pada penguatan sistem administrasi perpajakan, kepastian hukum, dan optimalisasi mekanisme penegakan hukum berbasis kepatuhan sebagaimana diterapkan di Australia.]]>

<![CDATA[The integration of assistive technology in inclusive education has become an important approach to improving learning access for students with visual impairments. However, beyond technical functionality, its implementation also requires a value-based framework that promotes equity and compassion. Aim: This study aims to examine how assistive technology is implemented based on the principles of Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin and how it supports the academic participation of visually impaired students in inclusive classrooms. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study was conducted in an inclusive educational institution involving 6 visually impaired students, 3 teachers, and 2 technical support staff. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation analysis. Data were analyzed through coding, categorization, and thematic interpretation. Trustworthiness was strengthened through triangulation and peer debriefing. The findings show that assistive technologies, such as screen readers, Braille displays, and audio-based learning platforms, improved students’ access to learning materials, classroom participation, and independent study practices. Teachers reported more active engagement, while students expressed greater confidence in completing academic tasks. The integration of compassion, fairness, and collaborative support also contributed to a more inclusive learning environment, although technical barriers and the need for continued guidance remained. Value-oriented assistive technology implementation can support a more humane and responsive model of inclusive education for students with visual impairments by promoting meaningful participation and learning independence.]]>

<![CDATA[Student difficulties in understanding the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subject are caused by the conceptual essence of the content and the restricted utilization of engaging educational resources. This research seeks to create and evaluate the validity, feasibility, and efficacy of Augmented Reality (AR) media through the Assemblr Edu application concerning ecosystem content. This research utilized a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, comprising the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study participants included 1 teacher and 20 third-grade pupils from SDN 1 Mulyoharjo, comprising 10 female and 10 male students. The implementation of the study was conducted over three meetings. Data gathering methods were conducted using observation, interviews, and surveys. The instrument for measuring learning motivation was validated and assessed for reliability before its use, and it was found to be both valid and reliable. The results showed that the media validity score was 86% (valid category), while the material validity score was 89.3% (valid category). Student feedback regarding media usage received a percentage of 91.1% (excellent category). Additionally, the outcomes of the paired sample T-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, and the N-Gain value was 0.3611 (moderate category, lower threshold), signifying a moderate enhancement in student learning motivation. Consequently, the use of Augmented Reality media through the Assemblr Edu app is deemed practical and fairly efficient in enhancing ecosystem education.]]>

<![CDATA[Contemporary social dynamics have intensified and diversified vulnerability, challenging social welfare institutions to move beyond static and linear service delivery models. Existing literature highlights that service effectiveness is strongly shaped by governance structures, organizational capacity, and performance management systems, including the use of key performance indicators (KPIs) and monitoring mechanisms. However, many institutional responses remain reactive and fragmented, resulting in service gaps and misalignment between policy design and implementation. This study adopts a library-based approach using content analysis to examine how management strategies can optimize service delivery for vulnerable groups. The findings suggest that adaptive governance, data-driven evaluation, cross-sector collaboration, and continuous performance monitoring are critical components of effective strategy. Ultimately, optimizing service delivery depends on the integration of strategic planning and operational responsiveness to evolving patterns of vulnerability.]]>

<![CDATA[To gain a deep understanding of the effectiveness of lecturer performance, an exploratory study was conducted by identifying five main variables that are considered to have a key role in improving lecturer performance, namely sharing tacit knowledge, organizational climate, organizational commitment and innovative behavior. The five variables were then tested quantitatively to build a lecturer performance model that is relevant to the dynamics of higher education and formulate more effective and sustainable strategies. This quantitative study involved 230 permanent lecturers at private universities in the Bekasi and Banten areas. Data collection was carried out through distributing questionnaires using the Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis technique. The results of this study demonstrate that the lecturer performance model built has met the Goodness of fit criteria. The results of the hypothesis test confirm that tacit knowledge sharing, organizational climate, organizational commitment and innovative behavior have a significant positive effect on lecturer performance. While tacit knowledge sharing and organizational climate have a positive effect on organizational commitment. Furthermore, tacit knowledge sharing and organizational climate have a significant positive effect on innovative behavior. SITOREM analysis confirmed that improving lecturer performance can be done through strengthening the indicators of tacit knowledge sharing, organizational climate, organizational commitment, and innovative behavior that are already good, as well as updating indicators that are still lacking.]]>
