Developing Adaptive ASN Leadership in the Society 5.0 Era: An Integrated Conceptual Framework for Education and Training
Purpose - This study aims to formulate strategic education and training models to prepare Civil Servant (ASN) leadership in the era of Society 5.0, addressing a critical gap in the literature regarding the integration of digital transformation, merit systems, and leadership development in public sector governance. The research seeks to generate conceptual insights into how leadership competencies can be systematically developed to respond to VUCA dynamics and the increasing demand for adaptive, technology-enabled public administration. Design/Methodology/Approach - The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical literature review. Data were collected through systematic identification, screening, and selection of relevant academic publications focusing on digital leadership, adaptive governance, merit systems, and public sector training models. The analysis was conducted using a systematic literature review framework complemented by thematic synthesis and systematic mapping to construct a layered conceptual framework model for ASN leadership development. Findings - The findings reveal that ASN leadership in the Society 5.0 era must be characterized by digital leadership capability, adaptive and transformational capacity, collaborative governance orientation, and agile bureaucratic behavior. The study further identifies that effective education and training strategies should integrate digital-based training systems, HRIS-based needs assessment, blended learning models, and talent management aligned with merit principles. The proposed conceptual framework model demonstrates that leadership development must be designed as an integrated and dynamic ecosystem linking strategic context, training processes, competency outputs, and institutional transformation outcomes. Originality/Value - This research offers a novel conceptual framework for ASN leadership development by integrating digital transformation, adaptive leadership theory, and public sector training strategy within the context of Society 5.0. The study contributes theoretically to the discourse on public administration reform and practically provides strategic guidance for policymakers and training institutions in redesigning ASN education and leadership development programs to support sustainable bureaucratic transformation.

The Use of Animation Media for the Understanding of the Concept of Letter Recognition in Early Childhood
Purpose – Early childhood literacy serves as a vital foundation for academic success, yet traditional teaching methods often struggle to maintain engagement and clarity in letter recognition. This study investigates the influence of animation media on children’s conceptual understanding of letters, specifically focusing on visual shapes, names, and phonemic sounds. Design/Methodology/Approach – The research employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving children aged 4–6 years. Data were collected through quantitative letter recognition tests and qualitative teacher observations and questionnaires. The study utilized data triangulation—combining performance scores with behavioral observations—to ensure a comprehensive analysis of the media's impact. Findings – The findings indicate a significant improvement in early literacy skills following the intervention. Before the treatment, children demonstrated low baseline scores, particularly in distinguishing mirror-image letters (e.g., b–d, p–q) and consistent phonetic naming. After learning through animation media, children showed a marked increase in visual recognition accuracy and verbal confidence. Qualitative data revealed that the classroom atmosphere became more conducive to learning, with children showing higher levels of enthusiasm and sustained attention compared to conventional methods. Originality/Value – The results demonstrate that animation media effectively bridges the gap between abstract symbols and concrete cognitive understanding by providing multisensory stimulation. Unlike generic entertainment content, the structured instructional design of the media used in this study successfully balanced digital engagement with pedagogical goals. This study concludes that animation media is a feasible, relevant, and effective tool for early childhood education, serving as a practical reference for educators to modernize literacy instruction.

Women and Customary Rituals in The Neres Tradition
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the Neres tradition as part of a series of Seren Taun ceremonies in Kasepuhan Citorek, an Indigenous community of Banten Kidul located in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS). This tradition serves as a ritual of self-purification before the implementation of Seren Taun as well as believed to be able to resist reinforcements, prevent pagebluk, and maintain the fertility of agricultural products. The research uses qualitative approach with post-positivistic paradigm and ethnographic method of communication. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation. The results showed that the Neres tradition has more meaning than just the practice of physical hygiene, but is full of symbols that reflect the values of prosperity, chastity and attachment to ancestors. In-depth analysis shows that cleaned household appliances - such as hihid, seeng, Dipper, pangarih, dulang, Basom, and boboko—are not only seen as utilitarian objects, but also symbols of well-being and the continuity of domestic life. This cleansing procession affirms the role of women as Guardians of domestic harmony as well as liaisons between Indigenous values that are passed down through generations. In addition, the use of natural elements such as palias grass, ash from upstream rice, and mulang water strengthens the spiritual dimension that unites humans with the surrounding nature. Thus, the Neres tradition can be understood as a communication ritual that contains symbolic messages, affirms the central role of women in the preservation of culture, and represents the collective identity of the Kasepuhan Citorek community that persists in the midst of changing times.
