Agile Governance in Resource-Limited Settings: Challenges of Bureaucratic Simplification in South-Central Timor
Full text linkThis study investigates the failure of bureaucratic simplification policy in South-Central Timor Regency, Indonesia, particularly the mandated transition of echelon IV structural roles into functional positions under Permenpan RB No. 17 of 2021. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving affected civil servants, structural officials, and governance experts. Four interrelated barriers were identified: exclusion of civil servants from decision-making processes, demotivation due to unclear career paths and insufficient financial incentives, stagnant leadership at the echelon II level, and inadequate systemic support, including training and infrastructure. These challenges reflect the interplay of socio-political dynamics and regional resource constraints, which complicate the application of agile governance principles in peripheral regions. The study’s novelty lies in its localized perspective, which reveals governance and administrative complexities often overlooked in mainstream reform narratives. It emphasizes the critical role of leadership behavior, employee involvement, and institutional readiness in sustaining reform, offering practical insights for policy improvement in resource-limited contexts
Sosialisasi Mencegah Hoax Menjelang Pilkada 2024 Kepada Pemilih Pemula di Madrasah Aliyah Zainatul Ulum Aceh Barat
Full text linkFirst-time voters play a crucial role in the electoral and regional election (Pilkada) processes and represent one of the most vulnerable groups to the influence of misinformation, which often proliferates during election periods. Their high exposure to social media significantly increases the likelihood of encountering and spreading hoaxes. Therefore, it is essential to enhance their understanding and awareness to prevent them from becoming both targets and agents of misinformation. As part of a community engagement initiative ahead of the 2024 regional elections, lecturers from Teuku Umar University conducted a political education program aimed at senior high school students—who largely comprise first-time voters. This outreach focused on raising awareness about the dangers of hoaxes and how to avoid their spread. The primary objective of this initiative was to increase first-time voters' awareness of the importance of verifying information before accepting or disseminating it. In addition, it sought to provide knowledge on how to identify hoaxes and recognize credible information sources. The method employed was participatory socialization, involving presentations on hoaxes, video screenings illustrating their dangers and impacts, and interactive Q&A sessions between facilitators and student participants. This activity successfully enhanced participants’ understanding and encouraged them to actively seek accurate information, thereby reducing the risk of being misled by false narrative
Characteristics of the Functional Properties of Pepetek Fish Protein Isolate (Leiognathus sp.) with different pH treatments
Full text linkCommon ponyfish (Leiognathus sp.) is a low-economic fish in Banten waters and is widely landed at the Nusantara Fisheries Port (PPN) Karangantu, Banten, with a production of 206.7 tonnes per year. Pepetek fish has a high protein content of 19.66%, so it has the potential as a raw material for making fish protein isolate. This study aims to determine the optimal protein solubility, pH, and characterisation of pepetek fish protein isolate as a food ingredient. The method of making pepetek fish isolate in this study was by performing a pH shift, which can effectively maintain fish meat protein. This study involved four treatment levels of protein solubility pH, specifically pH 10, pH 11, and pH 12, each with two replications. The research data was analysed using SPSS V29. All research data, including yield, pH value, proximate test, and protein functional properties, were analysed using ANOVA; if they were significantly different, Duncan's further test was carried out. The best protein isolate preparation of pepetek fish with different pH methods was at a protein solubility pH of pH 11. The resulting characteristics were a yield of 12.98%. The protein isolate from pepetek fish exhibits several physical characteristics related to its functional properties, including a Kamba density of 1.15 g/mL, 2.5% gel formation, an emulsion capacity of 1.31 g/mL, low emulsion stability, a foam capacity of 0.41 g/mL, a water absorption capacity of 2.74 g/mL, an oil absorption capacity of 2.79 g/mL, a water holding capacity (WHC) of 0.55 g/mL (55%), and solubility of 0.33 g/mL. The chemical characteristics of the protein isolate include a water content of 11.17% (bb), an ash content of 13.5% (bk), a fat content of 13.78% (bk), and a protein content of 72.64% (bk).

Sensory and Chemical Characterization of Endemic Lumi-Lumi Fish Crackers (Harpodon Nehereus) as A Local Wisdom Product
Full text linkLumi-lumi fish (Harpadon nehereus) is an endemic fish commonly found in West Aceh, known for its high protein content and various minerals. Crackers are a food often consumed as a snack, a complement to dishes, or as an appetite stimulant, with a wide variety of consumers ranging from children to adults. However, the content of crackers made from tapioca is known to have a very low protein content of 0.5%. The addition of lumi-lumi fish is expected to increase the protein content of crackers. This study aims to identify the best formulation and analyse the nutritional content of Lumi-lumi fish crackers. The research method is arranged in a one-factorial Completely Randomised Design, which consists of 4 different levels of Lumi-lumi fish concentration treatment (P0: 0%, P2: 15%, P3: 20%, and P4: 25% Lumi-lumi fish)—then identified the expansion power of crackers between treatments. Next, a hedonic method sensory test was conducted to obtain the selected formulation through a scoring test. The chosen products were analysed for nutritional content in comparison to a control group, namely P0 (0% Lumi-lumi fish). Sixty untrained panellists conducted sensory testing. The results showed a significant effect on the cracker expansion power (P = 0.001), with the highest result obtained by treatment P3 at 58.54%. In the scoring test, the selected Lumi-lumi fish crackers were treatment P3. Then based on the results of nutritional content, it was found that the addition of 25% of Lumi-lumi fish meat was able to increase the nutritional content compared to the control treatment (PO), namely the ash content from 0.83 ± 0.39% to 1.36 ± 0.25%, fat content from 0.42 ± 0.08% to 5.81 ± 0.39%, protein content from 7.16 ± 0.55% to 8.58 ± 0.17% and fiber content from 1.47 ± 0.14% increased to 1.81 ± 0.21%. However, there was a decrease in carbohydrates from 90.11 ± 0.59% to 82.44 ± 0.54%. For the analysis of water content, it follows the rules of SNI 01-2713-2009. To produce Lumi-lumi fish crackers with the best organoleptic acceptance, it is recommended to use a concentration of Lumi-lumi fish of 25%

Analisis Pengaruh Penambahan Abu Cangkang Sawit pada HESC untuk Peningkatan Kualitas Mutu Beton
Full text linkWest Aceh Regency produces 2,804 tons/year of palm oil with a total of 1.8 million tons/year of palm shell waste. Utilization and solutions to palm shell waste can be done by burning palm shells at high temperatures until they become ashes. Palm ash contains a certain amount of silica and has pozzolan qualities. This study aims to decide the impact of the utilize of palm shell ash and silicafume in High Early Strength Concrete (HESC) concrete mixtures on the magnitude of the compressive strength of concrete. The method used is the experimental laboratory method using American Concrete Institute (ACI) method. The composition of the test pieces is normal concrete (BN), palm shell ash concrete (BCS) with a percentage of 3%, 5%, and 7% plus silicafume 1.5% of the cement weight. The test specimen uses a cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm x 30 cm totaling 24 pieces. Based on the results of the maximum compressive strength of 7-day concrete life of 22.552 MPa of BN test piece, the minimum value is 19.155 MPa of 7% BCS test piece. At 28 days of concrete age, the maximum compressive strength is 26.893 MPa for 3% BCS test piece, and the minimum value is 22.364 MPa for 5% BCS test piece. Based on the results of the tests and analyses carried out, it can be concluded that the expansion of palm shell fiery remains and silicafume to the concrete blend can increment the compressive quality of concrete on average above 20 MPa over time due to the influence of the percentage of pozzolan shell ash and the addictive substance silicafume
