The research objectives were to study Ecological Footprint for Shelter, Ecological Footprint for Food, Ecological Footprint for Transportation, Ecological Footprint for Cloth, Ecological Footprint for Medicine, and Ecological Footprint for Housing and Pro-environmental Behavior levels and to study the independent variables comprise of Ecological Footprint for Shelter, Ecological Footprint for Food, Ecological Footprint for Transportation, Ecological Footprint for Cloth, Ecological Footprint for Medicine and Ecological Footprint for Housing affecting dependent variable of Pro-environmental Behavior of undergraduates. This survey used a questionnaire to gather 400 undergraduates and 10,757 undergraduates of Rajabhat Mahasarakham University in the first semester of the academic year of 2021. The Multi-Stage sampling technique was employed to collect the sample. Multiple Regression Analysis was used to determine the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results illustrated that in a holistic view of Ecological Footprint for Shelter, Ecological Footprint for Food, Ecological Footprint for Transportation, Ecological Footprint for Cloth, Ecological Footprint for Medicine, and Ecological Footprint for Housing and Pro-environmental Behavior were most levels. Moreover, independent variables of Ecological Footprint for Shelter, Ecological Footprint for Food, Ecological Footprint for Transportation, Ecological Footprint for Cloth, Ecological Footprint for Medicine, and Ecological Footprint for Housing can predict the variation of the dependent variable of Pro-environmental behavior with 65.90 percent of power prediction (Adjusted R2 = 0.659). Ecological Footprint for Food was the highest effect with 0.248.

Abstract:The cocheros (drivers of horse-drawn vehicles) of early twentieth-century Manila posed an interesting paradox in the theatre of populist politics. By the 1930s they were among the most economically deprived occupational group, as their carromatas and calesas (horse-drawn vehicles) struggled to compete with the electric tram and automobiles. Yet, simultaneously, these cocheros were a strong political force because of the so-called ‘calesa vote’: they wielded an inordinate level of clout vis-à-vis Manila councillors because of the number of voters they could influence. Their collusion with city officials represents an early instance of populism, which remains potent in Philippine politics at present.

Abstract:This article examines how Bangkok’s religious economy has been diversified by Ahmad Wahab (1883–1956), Direk Kulsiriswad (also known as Ibrahim Qureshi) (1922–2005) and Sheikh Rida Ahmad Samadi (1969–) from the 1920s onwards. In addition to engaging with a series of recent empirically rich contributions from Thai Muslim scholars, we introduce elements of Nile Green’s conceptual framework—such as ‘religious economies’, ‘terrains of exchange’ and ‘transcultural religious entrepreneurs’—that bring into focus how developments in Bangkok resemble accounts of religious change elsewhere. We completed local case studies around the time that other scholars were documenting Muslim elements of central Bangkok’s cultural kaleidoscope that highlighted the complex cultural geography of Bangkok’s Muslim enclaves and transnational connections with the wider Muslim world.
摘要:本文考察了自20世纪20年代以来，Ahmad Wahab(1883-1956)、Direk Kulsiriswad(也被称为Ibrahim Qureshi)(1922-2005)和Sheikh Rida Ahmad Samadi(1969 -)如何使曼谷的宗教经济多样化。除了与泰国穆斯林学者最近的一系列经验丰富的贡献相结合外，我们还介绍了尼罗·格林概念框架的元素，如“宗教经济”、“交流领域”和“跨文化宗教企业家”，这些元素将曼谷的发展与其他地方的宗教变化的描述如何相似。在我们完成当地案例研究的同时，其他学者正在记录曼谷市中心文化万花筒中的穆斯林元素，这些文化万花筒突出了曼谷穆斯林聚居区复杂的文化地理，以及与更广泛的穆斯林世界的跨国联系。

Abstract:Scientific medicine has been inextricably linked to the development of modern state governmentality, ensuring its hegemony in the West and regions colonized by Western powers. In this context, we examine the historical and contested relationship between biomedicine and traditional medicine in three Asian countries—India, Myanmar and Thailand. We argue that selective regulation of a narrowly defined ‘traditional medicine’ subordinates other forms of traditional healing that are incompatible with scientific paradigms and associated metrics of accreditation. Yet, these marginalized forms of ‘folk healing’ that emphasize spiritual dimensions of health increasingly assist with contemporary mental health problems arising from rapid capitalist development.

Abstract:Since the eleventh general elections in 2004, Malaysia’s ‘convergence’ mediascape has revealed new affordances in youth politics (see Jenkins 2006, pp. 2–3). Consistent with the perceived characteristics of a digitized culture in political participation, ‘rhizomorphic’ behaviour is observed (see Lim 2017, pp. 217–23) and further examined in this study—undertaken fifteen years later, in 2020—following the country’s first ever regime change in the 2018 general elections (GE14). Referencing Deleuze and Guattari’s (1987, pp. 3–25) ‘schizoanalysis’, this study sheds light on how Malaysian youths creatively and purposefully deterritorialize and reterritorialize their political desires. Specifically, this paper observes the political mediascape post-GE14 via a database from Malaysia’s ‘Twitter-verse’ and a collective of civil society groups (e.g., Projek Dialog, Warga Dunia, Borneo Komrad) in order to substantiate the idea of a ‘digital rhizomorph’. The digital rhizomorph is defined in this study as a body of contemporary youth politics that are more experimental and collaborative than hierarchical in character. The digital rhizomorph offers a more nuanced understanding of the original concept of the ‘rhizome’, often reflecting and morphing based on several key factors identified in the fieldwork.
摘要:自2004年第十一届大选以来，马来西亚的“融合”媒体景观揭示了青年政治的新启示(见Jenkins 2006, pp. 2-3)。与数字化文化在政治参与中的感知特征相一致，观察到“根状”行为(见Lim 2017，第217-23页)，并在15年后的2020年进行的这项研究中进行了进一步的研究——在2018年大选(第14届大选)中该国首次政权更迭之后。参考德勒兹和瓜塔里(1987，第3-25页)的“精神分裂分析”，这项研究揭示了马来西亚年轻人如何创造性地和有目的地将他们的政治欲望去领土化和再领土化。具体来说，本文通过马来西亚的“Twitter-verse”数据库和一群公民社会团体(如Projek Dialog、Warga Dunia、Borneo Komrad)观察了第14届大选后的政治媒体景观，以证实“数字根形”的概念。在本研究中，数字根茎被定义为当代青年政治的一个主体，它更具实验性和协作性，而不是等级性。数字根形态对“根茎”的原始概念提供了更细致入微的理解，通常反映和变形基于实地工作中确定的几个关键因素。

Abstract:This study reports on the housing experiences and pathways of different populations living in a gentrifying neighbourhood in Bangkok—newcomers living in condominiums, original residents who have managed to remain and others who have been evicted. The respondents’ accounts reveal contrasting life stories of hardship and progress. For poorer residents, gentrification intensified existing vulnerabilities, and evictions or the threat of evictions disrupted their ability to maintain stable lifestyles and livelihoods. For the more affluent, gentrification offered new lifestyle opportunities and new ways of enhancing personal and family interests. It also promoted for them a renegotiation of family arrangements. Gentrification is a local and personal process but one that is conditioned by broader economic forces and the inequalities of class. The theoretical challenge of gentrification is therefore to provide an account that considers the interaction between the varied experiences of individuals, their biographical habitus, and the differential vulnerabilities of distinct social classes and their structural habitus.

This paper attempts to construct a theoretical model for amending the impairment of bank reputation and extend the knowledge for policymakers and managers of private banks regarding the essential factors to consider in building a more substantial bank reputation, particularly during the irregular period in banking sector. The quantitative research approach was employed, and randomly selected 350 private bank customers participated in this study. The questionnaire items were analyzed using partially exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and partially confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The hypotheses were estimated and examined using the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. According to the results, structural assurance (β=0.738, p<0.001) and financial assurance (β=0.367, p<0.001) had a significant positive effect on service quality. Moreover, service quality positively affected perceived value (β=0.520, p<0.001), communal influence (β=0.765, p<0.001), and bank reputation (β=0.592, p<0.001). Further, perceived value (β=0.284, p<0.05) and communal influence (β=0.122, p<0.05) with regard to private banks all evidenced a positive direct effect on bank reputation. Therefore, this study statically confirmed the roles of structural and financial assurance in improving service quality and service quality outcomes (perceived value and communal influence), leading to a more incredible bank reputation.

The objectives of this article were: 1) To find out the conditions and problems of the use of a Big Data system in the current active Army’s strategic administration, 2) To find out the factors that affect the adoption of a Big Data system for enhancing the effectiveness of the Army’s strategic administration, 3) To define approaches to using a Big Data. This research is a strategic research by reviewing relevant concepts, theories, and literature, so methodology research is documentary research. The research results were as follows: 1) the Army is a large unit, so several units are very complex and much data needs to be analyzed, 2) the factors that affect the adoption of a Big Data system for enhancing the effectiveness of the Army’s strategic administration are factors 5V+1C, 3) the approaches to using a Big Data system to increase the effectiveness of the Army’s strategic management include: accessibility, security, editable, online ability, ability to support a wide range of data formats and ready to use immediately. This research has suggested: that there should be a specific agency responsible for maintaining the central database and should encourage personnel with knowledge and expertise in the use of Big Data and the development of additional systems in the future.

For many democracies, competition in the free market is an essential pillar to ensure the continuous improvement of the standard of living of their citizens. In the Philippines, an anti-trust law was only institutionalized in July 2015 after former President Benigno Aquino III signed into law the Philippine Competition Act (PCA). Despite this major legislative landmark, critics argue that it should have been passed two decades ago. The study finds that the role of political institutions has been instrumental in effecting policy stasis as oligarchs and economic elites maintain close links with the legislators and government officials. Furthermore, the Philippine government has opted to focus on issue-neutral, non-controversial, and public works-centered projects to prevent debate among colleagues and to satisfy demands of constituencies. Interestingly, there was no triggering event to effect policy change. Instead, the passage of the PCA is due to two major reasons: domestic rationale; and global developments.
