Trust is the fundamental matter that improves residents’ willingness to utilize social media as a technology tool for e-administration facilities. Despite its significance in the e-administrative sector, there is a lack of empirical investigation on residents’ trust in behavioral intention to use social media for e-administrative services. This study investigates the antecedents of residents’ trust and its impact on their behavioral intention to use social media for e-administration services. An online survey platform was used to collect the data from Malaysian residents in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya area. Data were analyzed using the partial least square technique. The findings revealed that reliable information has a positive and highly significant influence on residents’ trust, whereas attitude, subjective norms, and perceived privacy did not significantly affect residents’ trust. The findings also indicated that residents’ trust significantly impacts behavioral intention to use social media for e-administrative services. The findings have significant insight into the residents’ trust and behavioral intention to use social media for e-administration facilities. The results of this research can help government associations and policymakers in the nation to adequately establish their systems in raising residents’ trust, driving towards their engagement through information technology, particularly social media technology for e-administration services.

Work on this article was motivated by a speech given by the British Queen on April 5th, 2020, A Rare Public Address Concerning the Ongoing Pandemic. The speech was infused with virtue terms. Using investigator and data-source triangulation, the authors juxtapose Queen Elizabeth II's speech with two similarly motivated speeches by Chinese President Xi and Chilean President Piñera. As these three heads of state represent different socio-political cultures, it is academically interesting to explore (i) to what extent their speeches reflect universal versus local values/virtues and (ii) how their selection of virtues fits into current taxonomies of positive character traits. This article aims to make a contribution to the proverbial universalism versus relativism debate about morality and human values, as well as to the discourse on neo-Aristotelian character education and the psychological discourse on recovering an apt virtue terminology as a task that each of us needs to pursue in our endeavour to understand everyday virtue talk.

Ecotourism provides simultaneous benefits for conserving nature, respecting local cultures, and benefitting local communities. Generally, protected areas provide a suitable physical setting for ecotourism development, but they have various limitations in biodiversity conservation as well as the promotion of ecotourism. This study aims to assess the constraints in developing ecotourism in protected areas. Chundikulam, Delft National Park, and Nagar Kovil Nature Reserve were declared as protected areas after the end of the last thirty years of ethnic unrest in Jaffna district, Sri Lanka. The methodology includes qualitative interviews with key stakeholders such as government officers, managers of the private sector, and workers in non-governmental organizations. Twenty respondents were selected, and semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were employed to collect qualitative data. The collected information was thematically analyzed. The categorized themes include awareness of the protected areas and ecotourism principles, biodiversity conservation, public participation, the livelihood of the local community, utilization of resources, and coordination among stakeholders. The results revealed that the respective government departments failed to gain support from stakeholders during the process of protected area boundary demarcation, as most people were against the initiative. As a result, this has become a barrier to gaining stakeholders' support which stifled ecotourism development. This study suggests that proper engagement and training for stakeholders should be a pre-requisite for protected area management and ecotourism development, implementation of co-management activities, re-demarcation of boundaries of protected areas, and creation of buffer zones within an ecotourism park to develop ecotourism effectively.

Researchers and educators asserted that music-based intervention is more effective than traditional teaching approaches when educating children due to the fact that music-based intervention promotes students' memory and interest. An ongoing imbalance in education that stands to be corrected is how parents and teachers may be more concerned with children's academic achievement than their social skills. In that context, this quantitative study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of song-based music and movement intervention in improving social skills among elementary-age children. The sixty participants (aged 7–9 years) were divided equally into three experimental groups (song-based, music and movement as well as song-based music and movement intervention) and a control group (no treatment). Quantitative data collected through pre and post-tests were assessed by three independent evaluators using the researcher-adapted Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills Measurement Form (IISMF). Participants' physical reactions, such as facial expressions, behaviours, and emotions, were observed. The results indicated that the song-based music and movement intervention had significantly improved the social skills on both dimensions of intrapersonal and interpersonal compared to the other interventions. This study provides insights to promote the implementation of song-based music and movement intervention for schoolteachers to improve young age children's social skills. Furthermore, social skills are one of the crucial elements in 21st-century learning skills that contribute to their future success.
