ABSTRACT This article examines the relationship between university students' perceptions of 'fear of missing out (FOMO) and their spiritual well-being. It tries to determine whether students' perceptions of FOMO and spiritual well-being differ by demographic indicators as a form of relational research employing a cross-sectional survey model. Surveys were conducted with 414 university students in Malaysia and Turkey. The FOMO Scale and Spiritual Well-being Scale were deployed for data collection. This article determined that students' perceptions of FOMO were higher than their spiritual well-being level and the perception of FOMO significantly and moderately affects perceptions of spiritual well-being. Students' FOMO significantly predicted their spiritual well-being levels. This shows that bad habits negatively affect human psychology, but this effect cannot be handled independently of people's characteristics. Keywords: Fear of missing out, lack of sense of belonging, Spiritual well-being, Social behavior, Social media forms
摘要本文探讨了大学生错失恐惧症(fear of missing out, FOMO)感知与精神幸福感之间的关系。它试图通过人口统计指标来确定学生对FOMO和精神幸福的看法是否不同，作为采用横断面调查模型的关系研究的一种形式。对马来西亚和土耳其的414名大学生进行了调查。采用FOMO量表和精神幸福感量表进行数据收集。本研究发现，大学生对FOMO的感知高于其精神幸福感水平，FOMO的感知显著且适度地影响了他们对精神幸福感的感知。FOMO显著预测了学生的精神健康水平。这表明坏习惯会对人的心理产生负面影响，但这种影响不能独立于人的性格来处理。关键词:错失恐惧，归属感缺失，精神幸福感，社会行为，社交媒体形式

ABSTRACT The Lue (Tai Lue) have various approaches to represent their identity and each approach seems to tell of an identity. Extensive studies have investigated the Lue community in Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province, Northern Thailand, however, no study has focused on how the term Lue Chiang Kham came to exist and through what channels this identity is expressed. By drawing on data collected in April 2021, including online interviews, and by engaging with the secondary literature and employing Baudrillard’s ‘sign-value’ concept, this paper argues that the term or identity Lue Chiang Kham began consolidating in the 1990s through the annual festival “Seub San Tam Nan Tai-Lue” (Preserving Tai-Lue’s Legacy), which coincided with the rise in status and power of the elite and middle class Lue people of Chiang Kham. The festival is conceptualized by this paper as a seductive process merging diverse Lue and non-Lue groups under a collective consciousness of being or relating to Lue Chiang Kham by producing and consuming two specific textile commodities. Today it is common to hear and see these groups identify themselves as Lue Chiang Kham despite acting on the surface in accordance with Thai mainstream society. Keywords: Commodities, Lue Chiang Kham, Sign-value, Textiles
卢人(太卢人)有各种各样的方式来表达他们的身份，每一种方式似乎都在讲述一个身份。广泛的研究调查了泰国北部Phayao省Chiang Kham区的Lue社区，然而，没有研究关注Lue Chiang Kham这个词是如何存在的，以及通过什么渠道表达这种身份。通过利用2021年4月收集的数据，包括在线访谈，并通过参与二手文献和采用鲍drillard的“符号价值”概念，本文认为，在20世纪90年代，通过每年一次的“Seub San Tam Nan Tai-Lue”(保存Tai-Lue的遗产)节日，蒋坎的卢人这个词或身份开始巩固，这与蒋坎的精英和中产阶级卢人的地位和权力的上升相一致。本文将这个节日定义为一个诱人的过程，通过生产和消费两种特定的纺织商品，将不同的卢族和非卢族群体融合在一起，在集体意识下存在或与卢羌康有关。如今，尽管表面上与泰国主流社会保持一致，但这些团体仍然认为自己是卢清康(Lue Chiang Kham)。关键词:商品，刘清康，标志价值，纺织品

ABSTRACT A new Tai Lue identity is produced when Tai Lue people in Chiang Kham District, Thailand involve in local cultural revival and economic development. This new identity is a Thai-Tai Lue identity: “Lue Muang Thai”, as they call themselves, and is constructed based on their situations in and expectations of contemporary Thailand. Sipsongpanna, as an important cultural symbol of Lue, still plays an important role in constructing the new Lue identity, but Chiang Kham Tai Lue elites clearly know differences between Lue Sipsongpanna and Lue Muang Thai. For ordinary Chiang Kham Tai Lue, their Lue identity comes from the Lue villages in Thailand without any reference to Sipsongpanna. Lue identity is a strategy for them to gain more resources and capital. This is why Lue identity has been strongly performed in public spaces, while it is hard to find any performances of “Lue” identity in their family life. The “Lue Chiang Kham” identity emerges as one product in the process of constructing a new Tai Lue identity. Keywords: Thai-Tai Lue identity; Lue Muang Thai; Localized Lue identity; Lue Chiang Kham

ABSTRACT How can we qualitatively determine social and physical indicators that have the potential to predict general well-being in Tehran, Iran? This article implements qualitative methodologies including content analysis and interviews to identify these features. The article studies the existing literature, projects and research on urban well-being and determines its social-physical components. Based on interviews with seventeen experts of urban life quality in Iran and a cross-impact matrix and cross-section analysis formed from this data, three key factors for improving general welfare in Tehran are identified: better urban land use planning, improving access and transportation networks, and creating variety and attractive leisure opportunities. Keywords: Environmental quality, General well-being, Iran, Quality of urban life, Social quality, Tehran

The Tai Lue in Chiang Kham have been of interest to scholars since the publications of Michael Moerman, an American anthropologist from the University of California in Los Angeles, in the 1960s. The most notable pieces concern ethnic identity since Moerman focused on both the internal and external relations of the Tai Lue. Later scholars and graduate students focused on tourism among the Tai Lue, due to the revival of their history and the construction of their ethnic identity. However, the issue of statelessness among them has still not been examined, even though countless numbers of Tai Lue still live without Thai citizenship. Therefore, this article deals with the issue of stateless Tai Lue in Chiang Kham, based on our fieldwork in 2013-2015. We find that the consequences of the creation of modern nation-states and Thailand’s strict national security policies have led to a lack of citizenship among countless numbers of Tai Lue in Chiang Kham, despite their exceptional service to Thailand’s national security during the Cold War. Keywords: Tai Lue, Stateless, Displaced Thai, Citizenship
自从加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California in Los Angeles)的美国人类学家迈克尔·莫尔曼(Michael Moerman)在20世纪60年代发表著作以来，清康的大路一直引起学者们的兴趣。其中最引人注目的部分是关于民族认同的，因为莫尔曼关注的是泰卢族的内部和外部关系。由于历史的复兴和民族身份的建构，后来的学者和研究生把重点放在了泰略人的旅游上。然而，他们中间的无国籍问题仍然没有得到审查，尽管无数的泰卢人仍然没有泰国公民身份。因此，本文以我们2013-2015年的田野调查为基础，探讨清康地区无国籍的大流问题。我们发现，现代民族国家的建立和泰国严格的国家安全政策的后果导致了清康无数泰卢人缺乏公民身份，尽管他们在冷战期间为泰国的国家安全做出了卓越的贡献。关键词:泰略，无国籍，流离失所的泰国人，公民身份

This study aims to carry out a critical reading of individual spaces of traditional Iranian houses. Through recourse to expert opinion, seven traditional houses in Iran have been chosen. A deductive content analysis is used to assess space syntaxes by way of three steps: preparation, organization, and the final report. In the preparation step, the individual and family territory in Iranian culture is defined. In the organization phase, territories are classified by reviewing plans, maps, and making visual observations. Finally, conclusions are reached on the situation of privacy and individuality in the houses. It is suggested that family privacy is the main function of traditional Iranian houses. Despite the fact that spaces could be used as personal and individual territories, in practice this is not so, and individualism and individual values have been forgotten. Individuality is not considered as valuable in the sense of one who needs his/her own territory; rather, this is determined in relation with other people.

This study investigates the changes in forest utilization and management of the Mlabri tribe in Phufa Village, Nan Province, Thailand. This research utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods, such as interviews, community meetings, focus groups and participant observation. The population in the Mlabri village is around 40. It was found that the Mlabri villagers utilized 13 groups to collect 92 different species of forest products to earn a total income of 490,000 baht per year. For resource management, the forest communities have two forms of forest management. These are: (a) a belief model that governs the supernatural mysteries; and (b) a modern community-based management system, which reflects modern rules and regulations from the local authorities. Since the Mlabri people share the same space with other communities, they need to follow the rules set by the owners of the area. Based on the type of forests, the Mlabri tribe utilizes forest management under the concepts of conservation and awareness-raising. The Mlabri people changed from using forest resources for subsistence and exchanged for items that they could not obtain, such as iron, salt and tobacco. At present, the people in the Mlabri tribe have become labourers and agricultural workers. Hunting and gathering forest products are just for earning some extra income and relaxation. Although hunting and gathering is no longer a primary activity among the Mlabri, it is an activity that improves the quality of their life. It also creates a new identity for the Mlabri tribe, which changes the context of the Mlabri society while making the story of the "people living with the forest" interesting.

E-Learning has been an exceptional support for learners across the globe. Many people are using electronic media for different purposes. Hence, learners, especially students, can benefit from the electronic system as well. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the adoption level of e-learning systems by using the extended model of UTAUT2. The data was collected using the survey method, and for this purpose, the five-point Likert scale has been used. The statistical techniques applied to the data set were confirmatory factor analysis and partial least square structural equation modeling. The results reveal that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, habit, knowledge acquisition, and knowledge sharing are positively linked with behavioral intention to use e-learning systems except for hedonic motivation. The modified model adds two new predictors: knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing that influence students' acceptance of e-learning systems. Therefore, it will provide the educationists and policymakers a new insight into whether students are willing to adopt the E-learning system for daily use.

Ensuing a brief discussion of what language, culture and its forms mean, we illustrate the relationship between intercultural and transcultural competence, and the development of communication skills in the foreign language framework for teaching EFL (English as Foreign Language) students. The author draws attention to the importance of developing students’ intercultural research abilities utilizing the transcultural communication competence notion. We show how intercultural orientations and transcultural communication competence affect the students’ framework and their career dimensions. The author illuminates the activities and approaches that develop communication skills. The article concludes with an underscoring of the critical challenges that teachers encounter and their potential solutions. Keywords: Intercultural communication, Transcultural awareness, Social identity, Student attitudes, Cross cultural, EFL classrooms, diversity
