The world is entering a new phase of the digital era, including Indonesia. The unification of the real world and cyberspace is a sign, where the conditions of both can influence each other (Hyung Jun, 2018). The patterns of behavior and public relations in the virtual universe gave rise to new social interactions called the Digital Society. One part of Global Megatrends has also influenced public policy in Indonesia in recent years. Critical mass previously carried out conventionally is now a virtual movement. War of hashtags, petitions, and digital community comments are new tools and strategies for influencing policy. This paper attempts to analyze the extent of digital society's influence on public policy in Indonesia. As well as what public policy models are needed. Methodology used in this analysis is qualitative descriptive. Data collection through literature studies by critical mass digital recognition in Indonesia and trying to find a relationship between political participation through social media and democracy. By processing the pro and contra views regarding the selection of social media as a level of participation, this paper finds that there are overlapping interests that have the potential to distort the articulation of freedom of opinion and participation. - which is characteristic of a democratic state. The result is the rapid development of digital society which greatly influences the public policy process. Digital society imagines being able to participate formally in influencing policy in Indonesia. The democracy that developed in the digital society is cyberdemocracy. Public space in the digital world must be guaranteed security and its impact on the policies that will be determined. The recommendation given to the government is that a cyber data analyst is needed to oversee the issues that are developing in the digital world. Regulations related to the security of digital public spaces must be maximized. The government maximizes cooperation with related stakeholders.Keywords: Digital Society; Democracy; Public policy; Political Participation

Innate Tendency

Peer reviewed scientific publishing is critical for communicating important findings, interpretations and theories in any branch of science. While the value of peer review is rarely doubted, much concern is being raised about the possible biases in the process. I argue here that most of the biases originate in the evolved innate tendency of every player to optimize one’s own cost benefits. Different players in the scientific publishing game have different cost-benefit optima. There are multiple conflicts between individual optima and collective goals. An analysis of the cost-benefit optima of every player in the scientific publishing game shows how and why biases originate. In the current system of publishing, by optimization considerations, the probability of publishing a ‘bad’ manuscript is relatively small but the probability of rejecting a ‘good’ manuscript is very high. By continuing with the current publishing structure, the global distribution of the scientific community would be increasingly clustered. Publication biases by gender, ethnicity, reputation, conformation and conformity will be increasingly common and revolutionary concepts increasingly difficult to publish. Ultimately, I explore the possibility of designing a peer review publishing system in which the conflicts between individual optimization and collective goal can be minimized. In such a system, if everyone behaves with maximum selfishness, biases would be minimized and the progress towards the collective goal would be faster and smoother. Changing towards such a system might prove difficult unless a critical mass of authors take an active role to revolutionize scientific publishing.

The purpose of the study is a quantitative assessment of the yield of dentinal fluid on the surface of the treated dentin of the tooth when restoring its structure with a composite filling material. To achieve this goal, digital images of the coronal parts of the teeth having formed carious cavities were used; virtual models of hard tissues of teeth recreated using specialized computer programs; A computer program that provides the ability to accurately determine the area of the treated dentin tooth. The results made it possible to draw the following conclusions: with an increase in the depth of the carious cavity, the amount of dentin fluid that can stand out on its surface (1–2 mm from the tooth cavity) sharply increases; with an increase in the area of the formed carious cavity (more than 30 mm2), the risk of release of a critical mass of dentinal fluid (more than 0.4 mg), which can adversely affect the strength of the adhesive interaction between the composite material and the hard tissues of the tooth, increases significantly; the same dynamics is observed with increasing time, at which there is the possibility of free exit of dentinal fluid to the surface of the cavity prepared for filling (more than 45 seconds).

Mutual Cooperation

This paper analyzes some pantun batobo using structural theory of semiotics. Pantun batobo is rhyme sung by the members of tobo when conducting batobo (mutual cooperation working the fields). Pantun batobo as objects in this article was obtained from the sources (tobo actors) in Taratak Village, Rumbio Jaya District, Kampar Regency. A hundred pantun collected, only four pantun were analyzed that writer categorized into humble themed. The results of the analysis shows that pantun humble themed is structurally semiotic. Pantun Batobo is a text that is rich both in structure (shape) and semiotics (the use of signs). Pantun batobo is not only attract the level of form, but also interesting in terms of content and meaning, so there is a balance between form and content. In structure, pantun batobo have certain patterns, such as rhyme and the number of words and syllables are in lines of poem, while in semiotics, pantun batobo has layers of meaning.AbstrakTulisan ini menganalisis beberapa pantun batobo dengan menggunakan teori struktural semiotik. Pantun batobo adalah pantun yang didendangkan oleh para anggota tobo ketika melakukan kegiatan batobo (bergotong royong di ladang mengerjakan sawah). Pantun batobo sebagai objek dalam tulisan ini diperoleh dari para narasumber (para pelaku tobo) di Desa Taratak, Kecamatan Rumbio Jaya, Kabupaten Kampar. Dari seratus pantun yang dikumpulkan, hanya dianalisis empat pantun yang penulis golongkan ke dalam pantun bertema merendah diri. Adapun hasil dari analisis pantun bertema merendah diri secara struktural semiotik yaitu pantun batobo merupakan sebuah teks yang kaya baik secara struktur (bentuk) dan semiotik (penggunaan tanda-tanda). Pantun batobo bukan hanya menarik dalam tataran bentuk, tetapi juga menarik dalam hal isi dan makna, sehingga terdapat keseimbangan antara bentuk dan isi. Secara struktur, pantun batobo memiliki pola tertentu, seperti rima serta jumlah kata dan suku kata yang terdapat pada baris pantun, sedangkan secara semiotik, pantun batobo memiliki lapis-lapis makna.
