The circulation of narcotics in Aceh's territorial waters is a serious problem that affects the security and welfare of the community. This research aims to analyze the role of the Directorate of Water and Air Police (DITPOLAIRUD) of the Aceh Regional Police in efforts to control narcotics through preventive and repressive measures. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, literature studies and document analysis. The research results show that Ditpolairud's preventive actions include routine patrols in water areas, strict monitoring of smuggling-prone routes, as well as quick response through a quick response system. However, the implementation of this action is hampered by limited resources, such as patrol boats, ship detection technology and integrated hotlines. Meanwhile, repressive measures include arresting perpetrators, investigating and compiling case files which also face challenges in terms of the availability of personnel and forensic facilities. This research concludes that optimizing the role of the Aceh Regional Police's Ditpolairud requires increased support for facilities, infrastructure and personnel training to maximize the effectiveness of countering narcotics in Aceh's territorial waters.

Environmental crises such as climate change, ecosystem degradation, and pollution have prompted countries to formulate environmental policies aimed at preserving environmental sustainability. However, the effectiveness of these policies is often questioned, particularly in their implementation. This article aims to evaluate the impacts of environmental policies implemented over the past decade on biodiversity, air quality, and waste management, as well as to identify implementation barriers and provide recommendations for policy improvement. The study employs a literature review method by analyzing various scientific sources, policy reports, and related documents. The evaluation results indicate that economic incentive-based policies, such as carbon taxes and renewable energy subsidies, tend to be more effective in reducing emissions and promoting clean energy adoption. Nevertheless, policy implementation frequently faces obstacles including lack of political support, limited resources, public resistance, and weak inter-sectoral coordination. Improvement strategies are needed, including enhanced cross-sector collaboration, strengthened data and information systems, and public education to support the success of sustainable environmental policies.

This classroom action research aimed to increase students' interest in learning history by implementing the TPACK approach in Grade XI IBB at MAN 1 Kota Semarang. The study's objectives were to describe the process of applying the TPACK approach and to assess its effectiveness in enhancing students' interest in history during the 2022/2023 academic year. The research design was a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR), involving Grade XI IBB students. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, tests, documentation, and observations, conducted over two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The study's findings indicated that applying the TPACK approach significantly improved students' engagement and learning outcomes in history. In the first cycle, student participation was limited, and not all students achieved the learning completeness standard. However, in the second cycle, there was a notable improvement in both student engagement and learning outcomes, with all students meeting the learning completeness criteria. The success of the TPACK approach was evidenced by a 74% increase in student interest and an average class score of 88. Despite the improvement, active student involvement during the learning process remained an area for further enhancement.

The North Natuna Sea is an area of strategic importance to Indonesia, both in terms of national security and economy. Legally, this area is part of Indonesia’s Exclusive Zone (EEZ), but China’s unilateral claim to most of this area through the nine-dash line has created tension in the region. Indonesia faces a major challenge to safeguard the sovereignity of this region by using various strategies, one of which is defense diplomacy. This article aims to explore how Indonesia utilizes defense diplomacy in maintaining stability in the Natuna Sea, as well as to analyze the challenges faced and the effectiveness of this approach. The results show that Indonesia’s defense diplomacy can maintain stability, but is still plagued by a number of challenges, including limited resources and the influence of major powers such as China.
