Material-economic factors penetrate into public ritual spaces (such as a communal temple) and become one of the important driving forces for ritual spaces in some places. Moreover, material-economic values have become important resources to promote the development of rural public. This study of a festival held at the Vĩnh Bình Communal Temple (Tiền Giang province) describes the trend of materialeconomic factors in rural festivals and identifies a new phase of development and a new experience of a local communal temple festival. The material-economic factors are the intrinsic factors of the festival. If used properly, they can enhance the festival atmosphere, promote community cohesion, and enhance the atmosphere of the festival. This case study shows that material-economic factors can be appropriately used as the catalysts for improving the effectiveness of communal festivals and they play a significant role in helping to protect and develop communal institutions in Vietnam today.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75948425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study examines the common themes and the lexical and syntactic features of college students’ graffiti writings on the walls of a state college in Zamboanga del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines. Employing thematic analysis, this study reveals that students’ graffiti writings contain a variety of themes such as love, discrimination, self and group identities, hatred, sex, faith and religion, management, education, and fanaticism, with love and discrimination as the most prevailing social themes. Students’ graffiti writings also exemplify distinct lexical features such as loan and swear words, taboo words/expressions, abbreviations, ironies, acronyms, repetitions, and compound words. Borrowings and using offensive or swear words are the most common lexical features found among these graffiti writings. In addition, students often use brief or terse statements to clearly express their thoughts and feelings to the public. Indeed, graffiti writings are a distinctive and silent way of communication, particularly for students who are in the marginalised section of any society.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83173961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has resulted in a potential threat to individuals in terms of cybercrimes. In general, cybercrimes are increasing at a rapid pace in India. The most vulnerable group targeted in cybercrimes in India has been women and girls. Using purposive sampling method for the selection of sample, this study focuses on cybercrimes against women in India and their impact on the victims. Awareness about cybercrimes is minimal. Historically, women have been subjected to various kinds and forms of discrimination and crimes, the newest being cybercrimes. Results exhibit that computer literacy is higher among males than females, which is a factor in women being more vulnerable to cybercrimes. The suppression of cybercrimes affects the victim psychologically through depression, fear, anxiety, and withdrawal from cyberspace. To overcome these kinds of effects, victims often share the situation they have faced with friends, close acquaintances, and family members.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85504583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines how romantic alternatives are experienced and expressed through Instagram (IG) My Stories during the quarantine period brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the present study aims to investigate the reasons and dynamics of IG-dating practices as well as how social media usage impacts romantic alternatives. The study hopes to fill the knowledge gap on the role IG dating plays in the various stages of online-dating practices during the quarantine period. The researchers analysed responses from two semi-structured interviews, six narratives or written responses, and follow-up email interviews with all eight FPR involved in this study. Findings indicate that compared to previous findings, the FPR did not regard being in IG as an important marker of their romantic and emotional relationships as it is merely their coping and surviving mechanism against boredom at the time of quarantining and their way of escaping and diverting their worries about the pandemic; hence, ending a relationship can take place at any stage in the form of “ghosting”. Furthermore, IG’s main activities such as posting, reacting, replying/commenting, and chatting can initiate and maintain these romantic alternatives, and the primary motivation of the FPR to engage in IG dating concerns face-/self-presentation and negotiation. Finally, the term “quaranfling” is proposed to describe a phenomenon pertaining to a no-strings-attached flirting during quarantine, which is basically a casual romantic relationship. The current study may be a precursor to further investigations on quaranfling and whether online platforms (e.g., social media and dating apps) can be attributed to the growing number of relationship dilemmas (e.g., cheating and breakups) among modern-day couples not only in the Philippines but also in Asia Pacific.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88623511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Labour turnover arising from sexual harassment at work is dangerous for the long-term development of any service company since it leads to a loss of talent and an increase in costs. Although Vietnam’s workplace is relatively safe, sexual harassment is still a prevalent problem in employment, albeit hidden by cultural perspectives. This qualitative research is conducted to revisit the relationship between sexual harassment and labour turnover through the lens of job positions among Vietnamese service employees. This study uses focus groups to obtain feedback and insights into sexual harassment at the workplace and its implications on turnover intentions among service staff. The findings show that sexual harassment is still a prevalent issue that is under-researched and addressed in the Vietnamese service workplace. The research results provide different viewpoints and relevant recommendations for service companies in Vietnam to embed the company’s values and clarify the workplace behavioural expectations to strengthen employee protection and reduce labour turnover.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80220138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What accounts for this kind of intertwinement in Bali? In this article, this question is approached by exploring Balinese Hindu concepts including tri hita karana and sekala/niskala, which are related to post-1945 Balinese Hinduism while also connecting to the millenniumold water irrigation system of subak. Scholarship about subak has mainly occurred in the areas of anthropology, environmental analysis, and tourism related studies, but there are broad connections to Bali’s well-documented musical traditions as well. This article suggests how Balinese ideas about spirituality, engagement with the natural world, and approaches to the arts involve forms of “relational practice”. Some ways in which Bali has hosted a multiplicity of religious and artistic processes that have nurtured productive and enduring relationships among people, nature, and the sacred are discussed. The article proceeds by first providing some history and concepts involving Balinese Hinduism. Then, aspects of subak as social processes akin to artistic practice are considered, after which music and the arts as they relate to concepts including tri hita karana and sekala/niskala are discussed. The article concludes that relational practices are historical traditions to learn from and adapt as ways to navigate a changing present. Regularly shared artistic pursuits and communal offerings are ways of drawing immediate human interactions together with the natural environment and beyond.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74697429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While religion represents the pursuit of noble values namely truth, beauty, happiness, holiness, and selflessness, doing business is unanimous with the worship of material wealth. However, a closer examination would reveal the interrelations between these two realms. A strong religious belief can actually have significant influence on the way the believers engage in their businesses toward the path of righteousness, and a thriving business could, in turn, enhance the followers’ commitment to the religion. Although the connection between religious belief and economic activities has been discussed in the literature, limited scholarly attention is paid on the phenomenon among the Catholics in Vietnam, a community that has not been examined considerably on areas other than their religious practices or political involvement in the past. Based on an ethnographic study of the Catholics’ economic activities in the Mekong Delta, especially in Cái Mơn Parish in Bến Tre province and the Main Parish in Cần Thơ city, this article argues that religious beliefs could influence and govern the economic behaviour of Catholic followers through the values of honouring God, justice, and charity. These values have inspired the principle of “getting rich righteously” among the Catholics in the Mekong Delta and motivated them to fulfil their civic obligations in society at large. Findings from this study helps shed light on the religious beliefs—economic activities engagement and contribute to the literature on Catholics’ economic activities in Vietnam, an area which remains understudied.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90984176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Special District Province of Yogyakarta, formally known as Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Sultanate, is one of the provinces whose territory and government have existed before Indonesia’s independence. When Sultan Hamengku Buwono led this province as the king, it significantly enjoyed many privileges within the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, which apply to date. However, it is still possible to find discriminatory policies, especially in the agrarian sector, aimed explicitly at the Indonesian Chinese community due to the implementation of the Governor Instruction of 1975. As a result of this policy, the Indonesian Chinese are not entitled to land ownership rights in this region. This discriminatory policy serves as a window to explain how the social, cultural, political, and historical structures of Yogyakarta impact the implementation of the legal pluralism concept within the Republic of Indonesia. Historical and legal approaches within the socio-legal framework are used in this research.","PeriodicalId":42665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78264266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
