Minimalist style, as one of the major streams of modern design, has developed rapidly and influenced various aspects of life, including furniture design in Aceh. Along with the increasing dominance of minimalism, the existence of traditional Acehnese ornamentation has declined in application and tends to stagnate through repetitive use of similar motifs. This study aims to integrate the aesthetic and symbolic values of Acehnese ornamentation into minimalist furniture design through a contextual design approach based on local wisdom. The research applies the Design Thinking method, encompassing stages of contextual exploration, formulation of aesthetic concepts, visual experimentation, and critical reflection. Visual experiments were carried out through manual sketches and digital reproduction using SketchUp, CorelDRAW X7, and Gopain. The study produced two furniture designs a document cabinet and an office desk which combine Acehnese ornaments derived from the tomb complex of Raja Jalil in Lam Lagang and the traditional house of Teungku Chik Awee Geutah in Bireuen. The findings reveal that integrating Acehnese ornamentation into minimalist design can create harmony between tradition and modernity without losing philosophical depth or local identity. The study highlights the significance of a contextual design approach as an innovative strategy for cultural preservation through contemporary furniture creation.

The results show an increased understanding and awareness among MSME actors regarding the importance of business legality for accessing financing and cooperation, better legal awareness of trademark protection as a product identity, and basic skills in utilizing social media and digital platforms as marketing tools. These outcomes demonstrate that the activity significantly contributes to strengthening MSME capacity in Sukajaya Village to become more competitive and contribute to local economic development.

Minors today are increasingly involved in criminal acts, and this does not happen without reason. One contributing factor is the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Children in Ujoh Bilang Village have started consuming alcohol, influenced by several factors, despite being underage. They consume both branded alcoholic drinks and traditional beverages such as arak. Based on research conducted in Ujoh Bilang Village, Mahakam Ulu, several factors have been identified as reasons why minors consume alcohol. These include internal factors within the child, external factors such as family influence, environment, alcohol vendors, and cultural factors. These elements serve as the background for underage alcohol consumption in the village. According to the research findings, minors who consume alcohol are not subjected to criminal punishment but are instead given warnings or educational guidance and then returned to their parents. However, minors can be held criminally responsible under the juvenile criminal justice system if they are unable to control themselves due to intoxication, leading to criminal acts such as accidents, fights, or even murder. In such cases, minors may be prosecuted for their actions.

This study, entitled "Dynamics in Village Leadership (A Study of Village Apparatus Recruitment in Weseben Village, Malaka Regency)," aims to analyze the leadership style of village heads in the apparatus recruitment process, uncover the growing practices of patronage and clientelism, and examine their implications for the implementation of good governance principles at the village level. Theoretically, this research is based on village leadership theory, patronage-clientelism theory, and the concept of good governance, which emphasizes the values ​​of transparency, accountability, and public participation in village governance.The method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with village heads, village officials, traditional leaders, members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), and the community, and was supported by field observations and documentation studies. The results indicate that: (1) the leadership style of village heads in Weseben is dominant and personalistic, with the village head retaining full control over the apparatus recruitment process, (2) apparatus recruitment places greater emphasis on loyalty and personal closeness than on professional competence, (3) The practice of patronage and clientelism is strongly evident in the relationship between the village head as patron and village officials as clients, which is built through kinship ties and reciprocal interests, (4) decisions regarding the appointment of officials are often tinged with elements of nepotism and collusion to strengthen the village head's political support base, and (5) the recruitment system is not yet oriented towards the principle of a merit system, namely a selection system based on individual ability, achievement, and integrity, as implemented in professional governance.Thus, it can be concluded that the dynamics of village leadership in Weseben are still strongly influenced by the practice of patronage and clientelism, which hinders the realization of democratic, transparent, and accountable village governance.

Management of household waste in Final Disposal Sites (TPA) faces a serious problem, where most of the waste accumulates and is difficult to decompose due to its complex nature. This condition substantially inhibits natural decomposition processes and limits the effectiveness of recycling efforts. Pre-processing operations, such as sorting and crushing, which are still dominated by manual methods, are proven to be inefficient, high-risk, and require large allocations of land resources and manpower. Therefore, automated technological innovation is needed to facilitate the efficient separation of organic components from inorganic materials (packaging). This research was conducted to determine the design and structural strength analysis of a hammer mill type depackaging machine, carried out using Solidworks software. Structural analysis simulation utilizes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine the structural strength of the machine. The specifications of the hammer mill type depackaging machine include a capacity of 3000 kg/hour, a hammer mill input power of 12 KW, and a rotational speed of 2500 rpm with a torque of 34.54 Nm. Meanwhile, the screw conveyor input power is 0.75 KW and the rotational speed is 20 rpm. The FEA simulation analysis results for the hammer mill type depackaging machine showed that the maximum Von Mises stress value recorded is 3,022×10^7   N⁄m^2 , the maximum displacement value measured is very minimal, namely 2,793×10^(-1)  mm, and the Factor of Safety (FOS) obtained is 8.3. This FOS value significantly exceeds the required minimum safety limit (>3), confirming that the machine design has optimal reliability, fatigue resistance, and structural integrity for operation under intensive working conditions at the TPA. The conclusion of this study indicates that the engineering design of this hammer mill type depackaging machine is safe and meets structural technical requirements to proceed to the implementation phase, potentially becoming a sustainable technological solution in improving the efficiency of waste pre-processing.
