ABSTRACT. Stakeholders and their network place top rank of value chain business and ruled prominent roles in the livestock development sector particularly poultry commodity. The involvement of many stakeholders and other parties is questionable because they perform and shape the market and business chain. The study was done in Manokwari using focus group discussion towards twenty-four various represented individuals, groups and mass organizations. The key queries discussed concerning the introduced background of the organization, shared resources, inter-connectivity amongst actors, intervention and innovation preferences and shared by actors. Stakeholder Network Analysis was employed to run the network and relationship between actors using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis. The finding is that the stakeholders in the poultry farming systems are dominated by private group actors who are working in groups to manage the farms and its value chain process and officially have been under laws. These actors commonly act like positive important stakeholders, who ruled the farms. The threats are real and exist and should be lowering as much as possible to mitigate the turn-back effect. The top five shared resources are access, spaces, time, policy, knowledge and skills. Those resources will stay longer to sustain the strong needs of poultry farms. The relationship of actors is dominated by the ranges of correlation are varying in between negative, neutral to positive. Actors are not delivering the intervention and innovation yet. Actors with low interest and low power should then be promoted to high interest and high power by using aids, guidance, and services from each actor from its value chain and cooperation and farming business.  (Pemetaan Pemangku Produksi dan Bisnis Unggas Strategis dan Berkelanjutan Dengan Aplikasi Analisis Jaringan Stakeholder) ABSTRAK. Pemangku kepentingan dan jaringannya menempati peringkat teratas dalam bisnis rantai nilai dan memegang peran penting dalam sektor pengembangan peternakan khususnya komoditas unggas. Keterlibatan banyak pemangku kepentingan dan pihak lain patut dipertanyakan. Penelitian dilakukan di Manokwari dengan menggunakan FGD terhadap dua puluh empat perwakilan individu, kelompok dan ormas. Pertanyaan utama membahas tentang latar belakang organisasi yang diperkenalkan, sumber daya bersama, interkoneksi antar aktor, preferensi intervensi dan inovasi dan dibagikan oleh aktor. Analisis Jaringan Pemangku Kepentingan digunakan untuk menjalankan jaringan dan hubungan dengan menggunakan Koefisien Korelasi Pearson dan Analisis Pengelompokan Hirarkis. Temuannya adalah bahwa para pemangku kepentingan dalam sistem peternakan unggas didominasi oleh pelaku kelompok swasta yang bekerja dalam kelompok untuk mengelola peternakan dan proses rantai nilainya dan secara resmi berada di bawah undang-undang. Aktor ini biasanya bertindak seperti pemangku kepentingan penting yang positif, yang mengatur pertanian. Ancaman itu nyata dan ada dan harus diturunkan sebanyak mungkin untuk mengurangi efek balik. Lima sumber daya bersama teratas adalah akses, ruang, waktu, kebijakan, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan. Sumber daya tersebut akan bertahan lebih lama untuk menopang kebutuhan kuat peternakan unggas. Hubungan antar aktor didominasi oleh rentang korelasi yang bervariasi antara negatif, netral hingga positif. Para pelaku belum melakukan intervensi dan inovasi. Pelaku dengan kepentingan rendah dan kekuasaan rendah kemudian harus dipromosikan menjadi kepentingan tinggi dan kekuasaan tinggi dengan menggunakan bantuan, bimbingan, dan layanan dari masing-masing pelaku dari rantai nilai dan koperasi dan usaha tani.

The problems associated with open-ended group discussion are well-documented in sociology research. We seek to alleviate these issues using technology that autonomously serves as a discussion moderator. Building on top of an extensible framework called Diplomat, we develop a "conversational agent", ArbiterBot to promote efficiency, fairness, and professionalism in otherwise unstructured discussions. To evaluate the effectiveness of this agent, we recruited university students to participate in a study involving a series of prompted discussions over the Slack messenger app. The results of this study suggest that the conversational agent is effective at balancing contributions across participants, encouraging a timely consensus and promoting a higher coverage of topics. We believe that the results motivate further investigation into how conversational agents can be used to improve group discussion and cooperation.

The shift from a population mapping to investigate the population bonus on demographic aspect enhances the economic value this study might contribute for. Indonesian population as the fourth largest number requires some policies to cope with the millennium challenges. Improving nationwide database maintains government on-going strategy to manage its population that is expected to serve all stakeholders for any quest towards economic development. The study uses mixed method with the explanatory sequential strategy. The qualitative approach is used, using social network analysis, supported by desk study, in-depth interview, focus group discussion, and literature studies. This study attempts to provide for improvement to the extant regulations on identity card, mostly electronic-KTP. Demographic bonus is an interesting topic given that the younger the population, the higher the employment demand rate will be. Having systematic database bank and access is expected to alleviate the challenge on high population growth rate in Indonesia. Besides, recommendations are addressed to the policy maker (the Government), mostly on the review or amendment of the extant regulations that might not in line with the database systematic improvements. The study is a primary thesis from a review of population law, using multidisciplinary approach, i.e. population economics (demography), legal study, and public policy that can be used as a testing basis to answer further demographic bonus from an exploration of other scientific inquiries.Keywords: demographic economy, demographic bonus, population administration law, e-ID, social network analysis

Abstract. Faking has been a concern in selection research for many years. Many studies have examined faking in questionnaires while far less is known about faking in selection exercises with higher fidelity. This study applies the theory of planned behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991 ) to low- (interviews) and high-fidelity (role play, group discussion) exercises, testing whether the TPB predicts reported faking behavior. Data from a mock selection procedure suggests that candidates do report to fake in low- and high-fidelity exercises. Additionally, the TPB showed good predictive validity for faking in a low-fidelity exercise, yet not for faking in high-fidelity exercises.
