Agricultural Sector Transformation Through A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) Approach: Innovations, Challenges And Future Opportunities

2025-06-07T09:51:39+07:00

Agricultural transformation is key to addressing the challenges of food security and sustainability in an era of climate change. This article analyses recent developments in agricultural transformation through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 25 articles published between 2017 and 2024. The results identify three main trends: (1) the adoption of digital technologies (precision agriculture, AI and blockchain*), which increase efficiency by 20-45%; (2) sustainable agricultural practices (*agroecology*, regenerative agriculture), which are proven to increase biodiversity by 30%; and (3) innovative evidence-based policies. However, systemic challenges such as the digital divide (only 18% of farmers in Africa have access to technology), land fragmentation and cultural resistance remain key barriers. The study also identified strategic opportunities through agrifintech (300% increase in access to capital), public-private partnerships and bioinformatics for rapid plant breeding. Policy recommendations include strengthening rural digital infrastructure, structured technology literacy programmes, and incentives for inclusive business models. The findings provide a roadmap for stakeholders to accelerate inclusive and sustainable agricultural transformation, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches that combine technical innovation with socio-economic solutions. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact of technologies on food security and the well-being of smallholder farmers.

Impacts of Microplastics on the Environment and Human Health: A Comprehensive Review of Sources, Distribution and Toxicological Effects

2025-06-07T10:00:31+07:00

Microplastics have become a global pollutant that threatens ecosystems and human health. This study aims to analyse the sources, distribution, ecotoxicological effects, and human health risks of microplastic exposure through a systematic review of recent literature (2017-2024). The research methods included collecting and analysing 45 scientific articles from indexed databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed using keywords related to microplastics, environmental pollution and health effects. The results showed that the main sources of microplastics are macroplastic degradation (35%), cosmetics (25%), synthetic textiles (20%) and tyre abrasion (15%). The distribution of microplastics has been detected in a variety of environments, including water (an average of 5,000 particles/m³ in the ocean), land (up to 1,000 particles/kg soil) and the atmosphere (50 particles/m³ in urban areas). At the ecotoxicological level, microplastics cause physiological disturbances in aquatic biota, such as a reduction in zooplankton growth rate (40%), liver damage in fish and accumulation in the food chain. In terrestrial environments, microplastics reduce soil fertility and inhibit plant growth by up to 30%. Risks to human health arise from consumption of contaminated food (0-10 particles/gram of seafood), drinking water (325 particles/l of bottled water) and inhalation. Microplastic particles (<10 μm) are capable of crossing the biological barrier and have been detected in blood (1.6 μg/mL), lung tissue and placenta. Mechanisms of toxicity include induction of oxidative stress (3-fold increase in ROS), inflammation (increase in IL-6 and TNF-α) and endocrine disruption (due to BPA and phthalates). Early epidemiological studies have linked microplastic exposure to an increased risk of obesity, reproductive disorders and genomic instability.

Innovative Strategies in English Language Teaching: Enhancing Student Engagement and Proficiency in The Digital Age

2025-06-07T10:01:37+07:00

This research examines the effectiveness of innovative strategies in English language learning, including technology-based approaches, collaborative projects, and communicative methods, along with their implementation constraints. Through a systematic literature review of 25 indexed articles (2017-2024), the results show that technology integration such as MALL, gamification, and AI increase student interaction by 60-78%, while collaborative projects can improve communicative skills by 75% and critical thinking by 40%. However, implementation faced significant challenges in the form of digital infrastructure gaps (65% of rural schools), teacher resistance (58%), administrative burden (72%), and mismatch of evaluation systems (63%). Thematic analysis revealed that the success of innovative strategies depends on three key factors: (1) TPACK-based teacher training, (2) equitable availability of resources, and (3) contextual adaptation of learning methods. The research recommends a holistic implementation model that combines pedagogical innovation with institutional policy support. The findings make an important contribution to the development of a framework for English language education in the digital age, emphasising the balance between the potential of technology and the need for humanised learning.

Transforming Islamic Education in the Digital Age: Methodological Analyses, Challenges and Opportunities Based on Current Research

2025-06-07T09:53:28+07:00

Islamic religious education (PAI) in the digital age is undergoing significant changes, while facing complex challenges. This article analyses the current development of PAI (2017-2024) through a systematic literature review of 25 reliable sources. The results show three main findings: (1) learning innovation trends such as blended learning, gamification and the use of AI can increase student participation by 40% and personalise learning; (2) dominant challenges include the digital divide (only 25% of 3T schools have adequate access), teacher resistance (55% find it difficult to use digital tools) and religious misinformation on social media; (3) technology has a positive impact in terms of learning time efficiency, expanding access to education and strengthening monitoring and evaluation. This article recommends three strategic solutions: strengthening teachers' digital literacy, more contextualised curriculum reform, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to optimise the use of technology. These findings provide an important foundation for the development of adaptive PAI in the midst of rapid change, while maintaining Islamic values as the main foundation.

Development of A Digital Literacy-Based Learning Model to Improve Students' Writing Skills in Indonesian Language Education

2025-06-07T09:54:35+07:00

This research aims to develop a digital literacy-based learning model to improve students' writing skills in Indonesian. Using the research and development (R&D) method with a mixed approach (quantitative-qualitative), the study involved 150 students and 30 teachers from five secondary schools. The results showed that the model integrating digital platforms (Google Docs, Canva, Quizizz) significantly improved students' writing skills (mean score increased from 64.3 to 82.5; p<0.05), especially in organising ideas (+25%) and standard vocabulary (+18%). Student responses were very positive (85% agreed that the model was more interesting), with increased intrinsic motivation reflected in active participation (82%) and timely completion of assignments (78%). However, implementation faced challenges such as infrastructure gaps (35% of schools with unstable internet), variation in teachers' digital literacy (scores 25-85), cultural resistance (12% of students experienced technophobia) and mismatch with traditional assessment systems (85% of teachers had difficulty assessing digital collaboration). The study concludes that a successful digital transformation of language learning requires a holistic approach, including strengthening infrastructure, continuous teacher training, phased digital literacy modules and alignment of school policies. The findings make an important contribution to the development of the TPACK framework in the Indonesian educational context and recommend further research on the integration of AI for learning personalisation.
