The patterns on the fabrics used are one of cheongsam design’s most essential fashion features. Therefore, the idea is to integrate a national intangible cultural heritage of Chaoyang paper-cutting folk art into cheongsam design, so as to inject some blood of local traditional culture into cheongsam and endow it with a different charm. This study proposes integrating two art forms, i.e., paper-cutting elements and cheongsam, to create a unique cultural and fashion product. Chaoyang paper cutting elements have been innovatively extracted and embedded in cheongsam clothing design through reading and querying the relevant materials. A proposed innovative mode of extracting and integrating the paper cutting elements, dubbed adaptive integration and mutual feature integration, respectively, ensured the creation of an aesthetically pleasing fashion good involving two distinct cultural elements. Four primary pattern arrangements have been presented namely: border design, all over pattern I &II and central placement. This is the first time a study proposed the integration of two prominent art forms to create a unique cultural and fashion product.","PeriodicalId":43547,"journal":{"name":"SOJOURN-Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136361888","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}

A mixed method was used with a total of 31 students selected through a purposive sampling from one of the semi-urban schools in western Bhutan. The quantitative data collected through the pretest and posttest were analysed and interpreted using an inferential statistics t-test with p ≤ 0.05 level of significance, mean, and standard deviation. Similarly, qualitative data was collected through the semi-structured interview and the data were analysed using thematic analysis. The result of the pretest and the posttest score analysis showed a significant difference between the posttest mean (14.45) and the pretest mean (8.37) with a mean difference of 6.08. The significant (p) value was .01, indicating a significant increase in the posttest scores as compared to the pretest. Subsequently, the data analysed from the interview confirmed that students derived positive learning satisfaction.

The results showed that brand association had the positive effect on other proprietary asset, whereas brand awareness had the least effect on perceived quality. The key findings were significant as they contradict the literature for large-sized or chained hotels. The research implications also highlighted the need for hostel managers to perform marketing activities to strengthen the brand association and proprietary brand assets to gain competitive advantage, particularly for budget travelers that have become increasingly information-savvy, knowledgeable in brand choices, and demanding in using social media to review traveling experience.","PeriodicalId":43547,"journal":{"name":"SOJOURN-Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134982900","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}

Producing logistics graduates who go above and beyond the requirements of their chosen sector is one of the universities’ main objectives. The study’s objectives were to investigate the English proficiency problem and the English proficiency requirements for logistics core competencies (LCC) in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). The quantitative research approach was selected, and a survey questionnaire was used based on four English skills, whereas the transportation, distribution, and logistics competency model, the association for operations management model, and the business logistics management framework were used as the basis for the survey, which is designed to collect the requirements of practitioners on the required skills for entry-level logisticians. 179 respondents from various EEC industry sectors responded. The results of the mean scores indicate that the primary issue is a deficiency in listening skills. Participants’ average English proficiency for logistics was B2, with 24 skill elements. The highest needs for C1 were in logistics rules and regulations and critical and analytical thinking. The results of this study can contribute significantly to logistics curriculum designers’ ability to supplement the traditional course with a crucial LCC. Future research is needed to clarify further the challenges and obstacles of developing the logistics English language skills of Thai logistics students towards CEFR B2 and C1.","PeriodicalId":43547,"journal":{"name":"SOJOURN-Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135022322","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}

Understanding the relationships between corruption concerning the economy is essential to ensure stable economic development. This research article aims to investigate the relationship between corruption and economic growth in 12 countries over 26 years from 1995 to 2020. This research article examines this relationship in the context of the panel data framework. Panel unit root, panel cointegration tests, panel Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) estimation, and panel Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) methodology associated with the Wald test is applied, respectively. The results show that corruption generates a negative effect on economic growth. In other words, a 1 percent rise in the transparency level (low corruption) will enhance the real GDP growth by 0.20 percent in the long run. Short-run and long-run causality runs from corruption to GDP and both variables are cointegrated. The results conclude that lowering the corruption rate is the precondition for continued growth.","PeriodicalId":43547,"journal":{"name":"SOJOURN-Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80912086","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 first-100 concordance lines of NOW Corpus were used as a main source of data. In order to analyze the data, two groups of the nodes: favorable terms (transgender and trans) and unfavorable terms (transsexual and tranny) were searched and analyzed by using descriptive percentage, thematic content analysis and corpus-driven discourse analysis. The findings revealed that the highest frequencies of references commonly used in digital news and magazines to refer to LGBT individuals are transgender and trans, respectively. Besides, two sub-themes were found in the concordance lines in terms of positive meanings: raising equality, showing advocacy and performance, and politics and policy and sarcastic or negative meanings: showing bias or discrimination, subgroup, abandonment and insecurity, difficulties and oppressions and derogatory and sexual desire. It can be concluded that some unfavorable terms are still underused in media, but they could reveal some positive meanings in terms of politics and policy. The implementations of study are that the meanings of some LGBT terms are dynamic, and that when used in media, content writers need to be aware of different meanings and contexts of the words. ","PeriodicalId":43547,"journal":{"name":"SOJOURN-Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89778689","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}

This study thus aims to test a structural model for examining the relationship between tourists’ affection, cultural perceptions, their revisit, and recommendation intentions through the mediating role of past travel experience. To test our hypotheses, 547 questionnaires from Thai tourists were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that all hypotheses are substantially confirmed and statistically significant except for the affective attitude aspect which is not found to influence tourists’ revisit and recommendation intentions. Notwithstanding, we found that the tourist experience catalyzes revisit and recommendation intentions. However, tourists’ affection perception only nurtures their travel experience, but not for revisitation and recommendation. As such, this study sheds a new laser light on how tourists’ perceptions can influence future economic growth. The recommendations and suggestions on these findings are explained and can be an avenue for future research. Implications for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and the Asian business context are also presented.","PeriodicalId":43547,"journal":{"name":"SOJOURN-Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86896077","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}
