This study begins from the problems that arise related to the discussion of the ITE Bill in the DPR, as well as the revision and implementation of the ITE Law. Especially issues related to cases that cause polemics and disturb the feeling of justice. This study aims to describe the construction of social reality in the form of thoughts, ideas, and discourses behind the implementation of the ITE Law. This study is also intended to determine the involvement of public participation in influencing the processes of legal formation and public policy in state institutions as described by Habermas (1989). So far, the growing assumption is that the ITE Law has limited freedom of expression and there is a state motivation to demand civil society compliance through repressive state apparatus. The question to be answered in this research is to what extent are the principles of deliberative democracy found in the social processes that occur in the discussion of the ITE Bill, revision and implementation of the ITE Law? Our argument is that the process of discussing the revision of the ITE Law and evaluating this law is not based on the principles of deliberative democracy, thereby strengthening the regime of digital authoritarianism.

This journal aims to analyze the role of mentoring and grief counseling due to the loss or death of someone who cannot be forgotten and resolved so that it becomes a heavy burden, and sucks out one's creativity. The longer the healing process, the greater the risk of grief for its integrity. In this case, people grieving because of death need to get attention from various parties, one of which is the Church in the form of an assistance, for this reason this study aims to describe and analyze forms of pastoral care that has been carried out so far and to develop a pattern of pastoral assistance for people grieving due to death. To obtain data, the authors use direct interview techniques with informants consisting of servants and people who experience grief due to death, both unexpected and sudden deaths. The results obtained from this study indicate that the pastoral care that has been carried out by the ministry is only temporary and is carried out when a grieving person contacts the minister, so that the grieving person is still in an atmosphere of grief because he does not receive effective assistance. The pastoral assistance that is carried out requires a pattern that can serve as a guide for ministers in providing help, for that the author offers a pattern of assistance that can be adapted to the needs of grieving people with different types of grief, namely a spiral mentoring pattern where the counselee will not always be the counselee because when he has been helped he will empower himself to become a counselor and can help others too

The progress of construction work has different deviations at a certain point in time. Various factors cause inequality. A positive progress deviation indicates that construction work is completed faster where the progress of the plan is lower than the actual one, otherwise it is said to be late if it is negative. The uncertain nature of construction work causes there are 3 (three) scenarios of possible progress deviation values, so that these three values ​​form one expected progress deviation value. A deviation of value greater than negative 10% for a duration from 0 to 70% is categorized as a critical contract. The purpose of this study was to determine the deviation of the progress of 29 construction works. Data collection was carried out on 29 construction works that had been carried out. The data is taken directly from the contractor. The results of data analysis showed that at 10% D, 11 construction works with poor performance were obtained. Information was also obtained that the construction work No. 12 have critical contracts (-11,773). Furthermore for the current construction work 30%D. 50% D and 70% D number of poorly performing construction works 12; 10; and 9. The value of the largest positive progress deviation is 15,362 at the 70% time point D. The expected value of the largest positive progress deviation is positive 1.763.

This study provides an overview of the disharmony of the regional head pairs starting from the administrative formation of Central Bangka Regency to its third period. This study applies the conflict theory proposed by Ralf Dahrendorf who explains that the conflict of interest of each elite can be categorized as a struggle of position by the group that owns the authority position. The disharmony of the regional head pairs of Central Bangka is included in the authoritative conflict model that causes the occurrence of latent conflict between both of them to compete for position structure. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with the primary data obtained from the interview results with the informants including related officials, board members, civil servants, and the regional head pairs. The results of this study portray that the obtained data provide an overview regarding the conflict potential that results in the limited access for the vice-regents to perform government duties that have been regulated by law. Therefore, public and personal interests can no longer be distinguished since both interests are related to the matter of competition or race for the local election. In other words, the regents have another underlying interest to limit the vice-regents’ access to perform the government duties. Meanwhile, the last period has a different case regarding the authority role of the vice-regent to run the government since the regent concentrates individually more on his duties.
