"Challenging the opinion that public service broadcasting is a thing of the past, David Hendy explains its importance in the present - and in the future. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book explores the development of public service broadcasting, outlining the key debates and issues, while situating them within wider cultural contexts. Hendy uses media history to consider the outlook for broadcasters such as the BBC, and other networks and stations around the world. He analyzes how these institutions shape society, culture, and politics, focusing on how key ethical and cultural values - such as enlightenment, impartiality, service, choice, and trust - have been constantly reinvented to ensure that broadcasting can carry on being a public 'good' as well as a commercial product. Clear, concise, and contemporary, Public Service Broadcasting is invaluable reading for all students of media and broadcasting, and for anyone interested in a strand of media that has had - and continues to have - an enormous social and cultural impact, not only in Britain, but across the globe. DAVID HENDY is Professor of Media and Communications at the University of Sussex. He is the author of Radio in the Global Age (2000), Life on Air: a History of Radio Four (2007), which won the Longmans-History Today Book of the Year, and Noise: a Human History of Sound and Listening (2013). He also broadcasts regularly, and has presented series about media and cultural history on both BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4. "--
This study aims to determine the effect of inflation, Indonesian interest rates, and the rupiah exchange rate simultaneously and partially on the movement of the Composite Stock Price Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The theory and previous research that revealed that the IDX movement was influenced by several factors such as the global stock exchange index, the trend of foreign oil price movements, the trend of foreign gold prices, the exchange rate of the country's currency against other countries, interest rates and inflation that was happening in the country. country. In this study, the composite stock price index used is from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020. This study uses a causal form and quantitative data. In analyzing the data, the researcher used multiple regression analysis. The error rate used is 5 percent. The researcher also tested the classical assumptions before doing the regression analysis. All data analysis was performed using SPSS version 21 program. From the results of the analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that 1) The inflation rate, the Indonesian interest rate and the rupiah exchange rate simultaneously have a significant influence on the movement on the IDX as seen from the calculation significance value of 0.000 which is less than the research significance of 0.05 . 2) Partially, inflation has a significant effect on the IDX based on the calculation significance value of 0.021 which is smaller than the research significance value of 0.05. 3) Partially, the Indonesian interest rate has a significant influence on the movement of the IDX as seen from the calculation significance value of 0.018 which is smaller than the research significance value of 0.05. 4) Partially the rupiah exchange rate has a significant influence on the movement of the IDX with the results of the calculation of the significance value of 0.036 which is less than the significance value of 0.05. 5) The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R2) is 0.405, which means that 40.5 percent of the IDX can be explained by the three independent variables, namely the inflation rate, the Indonesian interest rate and the rupiah exchange rate simultaneously and the rest is explained by other factors outside the research variables.
This study aims to determine the two decades of special autonomy in Aceh with the existence of special autonomy funds, but it does not have an impact on economic and social welfare in Aceh. Poverty and economic inequality are still rife, even though special autonomy is to provide space for the implementation of regional innovation and creativity in government administration. Several factors cause Aceh's special autonomy funds not to work correctly or still cause poverty in the Aceh region, namely development policies, the corruption that is still rampant, and poor management of the special autonomy funds. The development policy factor is related to the government, which favors industry players. Then, corruption is rampant because the Aceh government uses the special autonomy funds for its interests. The poor management of special autonomy funds is related to delays and errors in program planning from the provincial to regional levels. Then, the method in this study with a qualitative approach. Furthermore, the theoretical approach in this research is welfare theory to combine special autonomy as a way out of the slump in Aceh to date. This study shows that the Aceh Government is still misusing the Aceh Special Autonomy Fund because it is proven not to be prosperous, and the Acehnese people still experience the highest poverty rate in Sumatra. This research is essential because it needs to know and provide information to readers about how Aceh's special autonomy funds are not being used appropriately, and the Aceh government still commits much corruption.
Drawing from ethnographic research with psychedelic therapists and researchers, this article explores political tensions between two sources of efficacy within psychedelic therapy: the self and the chemical. At times researchers and therapists emphasize the specificity of chemical effects in relationship to the neurobiology of particular diagnoses. And at other times they foreground the self as the true source of an experience which is not tied to that same biochemistry. Anthropologists have long emphasized that efficacy is a historically and socially embedded category and practice. Those conversations have new valence in light of recent theorization of the chemicals as material-semiotic structures shaped by their experimental contexts. This article argues that while the empirical claims embedded in these two efficacies can and do mutually include each other, a fundamental political tension remains between the efficacious ends envisioned by each. As clinical trials develop these drugs as therapeutic agents, they do so through linking the specific effects of the chemical to particular diagnostic populations, which may enfranchise these chemicals, but not all their efficacies.
The military's involvement in power and land ownership often leads to conflicts, both vertically and horizontally. According to the Agrarian Reform Consortium's records in 2020, agrarian conflicts involving military personnel during the Covid-19 pandemic were relatively stagnant. This paper aims to explore the conflict between the TNI Akmil Magelang and the Magelang City Government. The method used in this study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques in this study using observation and documentation techniques and processing research data using the stages of data presentation, verification, and concluding. This study uses Pondy's (1967) theory regarding the stages of conflict as an analytical tool. The results show that the military conflict over land control with the city government has occurred since 1985. However, this conflict has not yet found common ground. The peak of the conflict occurred in mid-August 2020 when the TNI put up a sign at the mayor's office complex. The TNI gave an ultimatum to the Magelang City Government to leave or compensate for land assets. The development of the conflict is currently heading towards conflict resolution. However, it does not mean that in the end the conflict resolution can be found. This departs from the historical record where this conflict has been going on for a long time, and various parties as mediators are involved. However, the conflict continues to roll on and at any time can explode again in public.
