"ABSTRAKKabupaten Aceh Tamiang bertipikal kawasan perdesaan, mengacu pada 213 jumlah desa tanpa satu pun entitas desa berstatus kelurahan. Rasio daerah tertinggal dan penduduk miskin yang relatif tinggi dibanding kabupaten/kota lainnya di Provinsi Aceh serta beberapa kasus penyimpangan dana desa yang terungkap, cukup menjadi alasan untuk segera menginisiasi Project Desa Digital pada kabupaten ini. Proyek tersebut, memanfaatkan potensi elektronikfikasi/digitalisasi pembayaran yang dapat diaplikasikan dalam tata kelola dana desa dan memfasilitasi akses layanan keuangan formal pada desa tertinggal yang diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi persoalan penyimpangan dana desa dan inklusivitas keuangan pada desa tertinggal. Setiap program yang berjalan hampir pasti memerlukan sinergitas seluruh unsur yang terlibat guna mendapatkan hasil yang maksimal. Terkait implementasi program di desanya, aparatur desa dituntut memiliki level pemikiran sinergis dan kesamaan persepsi dengan seluruh unsur yang terlibat terkait program, hal yang lebih mudah dicapai jika disertai kemampuan literasi optimal terhadap keuangan, digital dan kemampuan kognitif dan non kognitif lainnya terkait program secara esensial.

"Alan Greenspan, the then Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, was reported in 1997 to have studied men’s underwear sales, to provide an early warning for recession in the US economy. Since then many economics editors have written about men’s underwear sales and a Men’s Underwear Index, to support their views on the future direction of the economy; and the OECD use a basket of indicators to forecast the world economy (OECD, 2008). This paper explores the theory and its empirical robustness for 57 countries. There is some limited statistical evidence that sales of men’s underwear might be an indicator of the US economy, or more precisely of looming recession. But the relationship is far from clear; therefore as an indicator it should be approached with extreme caution. Certainly more detailed and robust investigation is required. Looking across a further 56 counties, men’s underwear sales appear to be unrelated to the economy as a whole, seeming to behave as a basic commodity. However, for Armenia, Ecuador and Kuwait, there may be some validity in understanding the relationship further."
