Abstract

Background. The increasing integration of technology into everyday life has transformed how individuals communicate, work, and engage with the world. While digital platforms offer efficiency and global connectivity, growing dependence on technology has been linked to a noticeable decline in face-to-face social interaction. This phenomenon raises important questions about what may be missing in the quality and depth of human relationships in technologically saturated environments. Purpose. This study aims to investigate the relationship between technological dependence and the decline of in-person social interaction, focusing on the underlying psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors that contribute to this shift. The research also explores how different age groups perceive and experience social connectivity in the digital age. Method. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative surveys involving 400 respondents from diverse demographic backgrounds with qualitative interviews of 20 individuals across three age groups: youth, adults, and seniors. Data analysis included statistical correlations and thematic coding to identify patterns in social behavior and emotional well-being. Results. Results reveal that increased screen time correlates with reduced quality of social engagement, particularly among younger participants. Many respondents reported feelings of isolation despite being digitally connected. The findings suggest that while technology facilitates communication, it may inadvertently replace more meaningful, emotionally resonant interactions. Conclusion. The study concludes that over-reliance on technology can diminish key aspects of human connection such as empathy, presence, and shared experience. Reintegrating intentional social practices into daily life may be essential to restoring balance between digital convenience and emotional fulfillment.

Abstract

Background. Teacher performance is a crucial factor in determining the quality of education in vocational schools, where the effectiveness of leadership, the level of work motivation, and institutional support are often assumed to influence instructional outcomes. In the context of State Vocational Schools in Pelalawan Regency, challenges related to optimizing teacher performance highlight the need for empirical investigation into organizational and individual factors that shape professional effectiveness. Understanding how leadership, motivation, and infrastructure interact is essential for informing evidence-based education management policies. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the effect of principal leadership, work motivation, and the availability of practical infrastructure on the performance of teachers in State Vocational Schools in Pelalawan Regency, both partially and simultaneously. Method. The study employed a quantitative research approach involving a population of 156 vocational school teachers, from which a sample of 108 teachers was selected. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to examine the relationships among the research variables. Results. The results indicate that principal leadership has a significant effect on teacher performance, as shown by a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), demonstrating the important role of effective school leadership. Work motivation also significantly influences teacher performance, with a significance value of 0.029 (<0.05), suggesting that higher motivation enhances teachers’ professional outcomes. In contrast, the availability of practical infrastructure does not have a significant direct effect on teacher performance, as indicated by a significance value of 0.929 (>0.05). Simultaneously, principal leadership, work motivation, and infrastructure availability significantly affect teacher performance, as reflected by an R-value of 0.660 and an F-count of 26.750 with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion. The findings indicate that principal leadership and work motivation are the most influential factors in improving the performance of vocational school teachers, while the availability of practical infrastructure alone does not have a significant direct effect. These results suggest that education management efforts should prioritize strengthening school leadership and enhancing teacher motivation to improve overall educational quality.

Abstract

Background. The growing digitalization of global economies has opened new pathways for economic inclusion, particularly at the grassroots level. Traditional economic development models often fail to reach marginalized communities due to structural barriers, limited resources, and top-down intervention frameworks. In response, digital social enterprises (DSEs) have emerged as transformative agents that leverage technology to drive local entrepreneurship, community resilience, and inclusive innovation. These enterprises utilize digital tools such as mobile applications, blockchain, e-commerce, and social media platforms to empower underserved populations and promote sustainable livelihoods. Purpose. This study aims to examine how technology-enabled social enterprises contribute to the empowerment of grassroots economic movements across diverse socio-economic contexts. Method. The research adopts a qualitative multiple case study design, analyzing six DSEs operating in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with founders and beneficiaries, field observations, and analysis of digital engagement metrics. Results. Findings indicate that digital social enterprises significantly enhance economic agency at the grassroots by reducing transaction costs, increasing market access, and facilitating peer-to-peer support networks. Furthermore, technology fosters adaptive capacity and local ownership, enabling communities to co-create solutions tailored to their socio-cultural realities. Conclusion. In conclusion, DSEs represent a viable bottom-up model of economic empowerment where technology serves as both a tool and a catalyst for systemic change. The study offers insights for policymakers, educators, and development practitioners seeking to scale inclusive, tech-driven economic solutions that bridge the digital divide and promote social equity.

Abstract

Background. Traditional influenza surveillance systems inherently suffer from a critical one-to-two-week reporting lag, severely hindering timely public health interventions and resource allocation. Purpose. This research aims to develop and validate a hybrid digital epidemiology model using unstructured social media data and advanced Machine Learning (ML) to provide accurate, long-range influenza outbreak forecasts. Method. The methodology involved quantitative time-series forecasting, training Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and XGBoost models on five years of social media data, and benchmarking against official clinical reports. Results. The optimized LSTM model achieved significantly superior accuracy, recording a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.145 for the four-week forecasting horizon, less than half the error of the traditional ARIMA baseline. This high predictive power confirms that social media is a statistically reliable, non-clinical leading indicator. Conclusion. The study establishes a transparent policy translation framework, linking predicted incidence rates (e.g., exceeding 0.20) directly to required operational responses (e.g., hospital surge activation). This model offers a robust, actionable template for transforming public health surveillance from a reactive system into a proactive intelligence platform for epidemic preparedness.

Abstract

Background. The digital divide remains a significant challenge in the context of education in Indonesia, especially in rural and remote areas. While urban schools have increasingly adopted e-learning platforms, many rural schools continue to struggle with limited access to digital resources, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of digital literacy among both students and teachers. Purpose. This study aims to investigate the challenges faced by rural and remote schools in Indonesia in implementing e-learning and to propose potential solutions to bridge the digital divide. Method. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and field observations. Data were collected from 15 rural schools across different provinces, involving 300 teachers and 500 students. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic coding. The study identifies key challenges, including unreliable internet connectivity, lack of appropriate devices, low levels of digital literacy, and inadequate teacher training. Results. The results highlight that while there is a strong desire to integrate e-learning, the lack of infrastructure and support systems significantly hinders its effectiveness. Despite these challenges, there are instances of innovative solutions, such as community-based internet sharing and local training programs, that have improved the adoption of e-learning in some areas. Conclusion. The study concludes that bridging the digital divide in rural and remote schools in Indonesia requires a comprehensive approach, including infrastructure development, teacher training, and community involvement. Government policies should prioritize equitable access to digital resources to ensure inclusive education for all.
