This study aims to explore the dynamics of leadership regeneration in an ecclesiastical context with an emphasis on three main aspects: the urgency of leadership renewal, the escalation of conflict within the synod, and the contribution of cross-generational participation in the leadership structure. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative, which focuses on in-depth understanding of existing phenomena. Regeneration of ecclesiastical leadership is becoming an increasingly urgent issue in the midst of rapid social change, transformation of service orientation, and the declining level of involvement of the younger generation in church organizational structures. In the absence of a structured and sustainable regeneration system, the dominance of certain age groups in leadership may hinder the renewal of the church's vision and the transfer of relevant ministry values. Therefore, leadership regeneration should be viewed as a transformative and contextual structural reform, which aims to respond to the challenges of the times and prepare a more inclusive and adaptive future leadership. Conflicts in church synods are often triggered by the tension between the application of normative church ordinances and the complexity of interpersonal relationships shaped by the history and internal dynamics of the church. Rigid application of ecclesiastical regulations without considering the social context can trigger deliberative dysfunction and polarization, which hinders inclusive decision-making. In this case, managerial skills in managing conflict through dialogic, empathic, and reconciliatory approaches are needed to maintain the cohesion and legitimacy of the synod, so that decisions can reflect the needs and aspirations of the people. Cross-generational participation in church leadership is key to ensuring continuity and synergy in ministry. Collaboration between senior and younger generations can strengthen collective capacity, transform power relations, and create inclusive and sustainable leadership models.

Domestic violence remains a critical pastoral problem because survivors in church communities often face not only physical, psychological, sexual, and economic harm, but also spiritual narratives that may either sustain recovery or silence disclosure. This constructive qualitative study aims to formulate a Christian pastoral counseling model for survivors of domestic violence in church settings. The study applies a library-based practical-theological design by critically synthesizing peer-reviewed literature on intimate partner violence, faith-based responses, trauma- and violence-informed care, pastoral theology, Indonesian legal norms, and church-related studies. The findings show that pastoral counseling for survivors must be structured around safety rather than immediate marital reconciliation; interpret Scripture through dignity, justice, and protection of the vulnerable; recognize religious coercive control as a form of harm; integrate emotional stabilization with spiritual care; and build referral networks with psychological, legal, medical, and social services. The article proposes an integrated PASTORAL-SAFE model that combines risk assessment, survivor affirmation, trauma stabilization, theological reframing, social support, professional referral, perpetrator accountability, and long-term pastoral accompaniment. The implication is that churches need written protocols, trained pastoral teams, confidentiality standards, and collaborative safeguarding systems to prevent pastoral responses from unintentionally reproducing violence.

This constructive literature study examines pastoral counseling for Christian couples experiencing emotional absence in marriage. Emotional absence is not identical with open conflict; it appears as reduced responsiveness, muted affect, spiritualized avoidance, and routine coexistence without felt connection. The study aims to formulate an integrative pastoral counseling framework that is theologically accountable and clinically informed. The method is a constructive qualitative literature study using thematic synthesis of studies on marital satisfaction, emotional suppression, perceived partner responsiveness, spiritually integrated psychotherapy, and Christian marital theology published primarily before 2024. The findings indicate that emotional absence should be read as a relational-spiritual rupture involving affect regulation, attachment insecurity, weakened mutual responsiveness, and distorted uses of religious language. The article proposes the REKAT framework: recognition of relational rupture, empathic attunement, covenantal communication, accountable spiritual practices, and tracked follow-up within church care. The framework places Scripture, prayer, confession, forgiveness, and community support within ethical safeguards, especially screening for violence, coercion, and severe mental health risk. The implication is that pastoral counseling can move beyond moral exhortation toward structured accompaniment that rebuilds emotional presence, responsibility, and covenantal intimacy in Christian marriage.

This research relates to predictions of laptop sales in computer shops in Central Aceh, with a focus on laptop brands Acer, Asus, HP and Lenovo. Over the last three years, sales of these laptops have reached 1,629 units, with a monthly average of between 108 and 150 units. Business owners today prefer brands with the highest percentage of sales, but this can lead to dead stock problems. Therefore, the author proposes using data mining techniques, especially the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) method, to make recommendations for the number of products to be purchased by business owners based on past sales data. The K-NN method requires complete, structured and continuous sales data. It is important to choose an appropriate K value, and other factors such as weather, seasons, promotions, and special events also affect laptop sales. K-NN models may need to be combined with other data to improve prediction accuracy. It is hoped that this research will provide academic benefits in expanding knowledge about the use of the K-NN method in sales prediction, as well as practical benefits for business owners in planning their sales strategies. The research conclusions highlight the importance of good data collection, choosing the right K value, and considering external factors in the laptop sales prediction process.

Javanese culture and society, which has various styles, is characterized by a common identity, both through physical characteristics and other more abstract characteristics. Similarity of identity is physically sensed through the physiognomy produced by a clan/tribe/clan and cultural products. Meanwhile, abstract similarities take the form of views on life, ways of thinking, structure of society, belief systems, and so on. One form of similarity in the way of life and beliefs of the Javanese people can be observed in the paradigm of identifying human character through the weton and neptu approaches. Weton and Neptu are considered and believed to be a way to recognize one's character and potential from something abstract to something relatively more concrete. In the Javanese belief system, character and potential are two things that determine the development of culture and the success of life of the Javanese people themselves. So, empirically weton and neptu are a way of life that must be taken in order to be happy and prosperous.
