The trend toward the concentration of media ownership in the hand of few media moguls in many parts of the world has been a subject of criticism. Concentration of media ownership has been one of the main threat to democracy and public sphere. This article discusses the concentration of media ownership in Indonesia and its consequences on democracy. One distinct picture of concentration of media ownership in Indonesia is that some of the owners of the media are politician. This article suggests that in order to tackle the problem there should be a limitation for media ouwnership especially for broadcasting and an effort to reestablish a more democratic media system by introducing public or community media.

This article proposes the notion of the professional political pollster as a liberal democratic epistemic community. It examines transformations of Indonesian political pollster organisations in the last decade of the Soeharto era and in the post-Soeharto era. The findings extracted from the academic and mainstream media reports and the in-depth interview data collected from seven political pollsters associated with prominent Indonesian polling organisations are as follows. In the last decade of the Soeharto era, professional political pollsters visibly evolved but played less significant roles in Indonesian politics. As the Soeharto regime collapsed, they gradually had more substantial roles in Indonesian electoral politics and took shape as a robust and convergent liberal democratic epistemic community. After Indonesia's 2004 presidential election, most of them not only turned into political consultants but also engaged in a pollster war. This made them take shape as not only a fragile but also a divergent liberal democratic epistemic community. A set of recommendations is proposed to tackle this problem.

Jalan mempunyai peranan yang penting dalam bidang sosial, ekonomi, politik, strategi/militer dan kebudayaan dalam penelitian ini daerah yang diteliti adalah Ruas Jalan Patean - Weleri merupakan jalan provinsi dan masuk kedalam kategori jalan Kolektor Primer, jalan ini menghubungkan jalan provinsi yang yang berada di Kabupaten Kendal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis kerusakan, tingkat kerusakan dan menentukan cara penanganan kerusakan perkerasan ruas Jalan Parakan Patean - Weleri. Pelaksanaan penelitian ini meliputi menilai kondisi perkerasan secara visual dengan metode PCI dengan membagi ruas jalan Patean - Weleri sepanjang 25.230 meter menjadi segmen-segmen berukuran 6 x 200 m, dan menggunakan metode RCI dimana metode ini merupakan skala tingkat kenyamanan atau kinerja jalan yang dapat diperoleh dari pengukuran dengan alat roughometer maupun secara visual. Jika penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat roughometer maka akan diperoleh nilai International Roughness Index (IRI). Hasil penelitian ini mengetahui jenis kerusakan yang terjadi pada jalan yaitu rusak kulit buaya, lubang, alur, amblas, pelepasan bulir, rusak melintang, rusak memanjang, rusak blok, rusak pinggir, dan tambalan. Di ruas Jalan Patean - Weleri dengan metode PCI diperoleh hasil rata-rata nilai PCI 76,47 termasuk dalam kondisi jalan Sangat Baik. Berdasarkan hasil dari korelasi nilai RCI dengan menggunakan 2 model persamaan yaitu Sukirman, Paterson, mendapatkan hasil yang berbeda-beda. Untuk persamaan menurut Sukirman rata-rata nilai RCI yang didapat sebesar 8,17, menurut Paterson rata-rata nilai RCI yang didapat sebesar 9,42.

This study is intended to answer the question of how political polarization is related to social media users' posts about Covid-19. The researchers chose health cases related to Covid-19 instead of political issues (e.g. elections) to prove that this political polarization has spread to many areas. The research also wants to see the relationship between this political polarization and selective exposure. Theories applied in this study are polarization, filter bubble, and selective exposure. The study applied two methods: social media network analysis and content analysis. The network analysis included 82,156 posts, while the content analysis was carried out on 4,050 social media accounts. The research outcome proves the occurrence of political polarization. Social media users were divided into two major groups, namely pro-Jokowi and anti-Jokowi. Each group interacted with fellow users who had the same political choices and shared the same message content. Users with certain political choices tend to receive the same information as their political choices, and ignore information from other political parties. Another interesting finding from this study is how this polarization was sharpened by the use of hashtags. Each party (supporters and oppositions of Jokowi) uses hashtags to create solidarity and mobilization from each supporter. Research also proves the validity of the selective exposure and filter bubble hypothesis in the Indonesian context.

The purpose of writing this article is to analyse the role of self- regulated learning in the pandemic era covid19 and how postgraduate students self-regulate in online learning. The COVID-19 PANDEMIC, which has become a global pandemic, is currently demanding the government through the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) issue a Circular regarding learning and working from home in the context of preventing COVID 19 for teachers and for students for all displays throughout Indonesia. The only possible learning option in the midst of this pandemic situation is online learning. To solve this problem Postgraduate Students should be able to take advantage of the existing situation with conducive online learning activities, students must have their own strategies that support the academic improvement of students. Self-regulated learning (SRL) self-regulation in learning can be understood as the process of a student activating his own thoughts, feelings and behaviour in a systematic way that aims to achieve the desired learning goals. In other words, as a mechanism to help explain differences in achievement among students and as a means to improve achievement.

The ISIS terrorist group still poses a serious threat in Indonesia, especially because it operates in a network (net-terrorism) so that the handling of this terrorist group often does not reach its roots. The research is aimed to reveal the social network strategy in resolving terrorist acts in Indonesia using a structural hole theory. The research method is a qualitative research approach with secondary data analysis from four sources: books, journal articles, previous related research, and the Law of the Republic of Indonesia. The data above is then processed with Ucinet-Draw to calculate the linkage score between members in the network and then see the movement map for each ISIS network in Indonesia: Jakarta, Poso, and Surabaya. Thus, this study proves that there is a gap in the structure of the ISIS group's communication network in Indonesia. The research results revealed that many terrorist acts in Indonesia had the same pattern, namely the strong communication network between terrorist actors. Terrorist actors carried out at least three tertius strategies, namely tertius gaudens, tertius inguens, and a combination of the two. Through the tertius strategy, the government will be able to play its most crucial role in taking preventive actions against actors in terrorist networks. Therefore, the government needed to carry out various integration strategies with various institutions to conduct deradicalization appropriately.
