This study looked at the practical aspects of students’ choices of attire in Nigerian universities. The study determined the drivers of students’ clothing preferences in Nigerian universities, as well as objectively identified the clothes that they favored and evaluated their practical features. This study was led by one hypothesis and three research questions. Southern Nigeria was the study’s focus. The study design was ex post facto, and both qualitative and quantitative methodologies were applied. There were 28,650 students enrolled. Multistage sampling was used to first select three state universities by random sampling technique, a sample size of 585 undergraduates were purposively selected who were between 18 and 30 years of age and among the 200–400-level courses in the universities. To collect the data, an observation checklist and functional attributes of clothing preference questionnaire (FACPQ) were used, reliability coefficient with Kuder–Richardson-20 coefficient was obtained for an overall competent level (OCL) of 0.86. Cronbach’s α coefficient obtained for clothing preference determinants is 0.820 and functional attributes is = 0.85. Percentage, mean, standard deviation (SD), and t-test at 0.05 significance level were used to analyze data. The results showed that the fashion preferences of students included, among other things, leggings, spaghetti tops, slim faded, and torn jeans, hipster (low waist/sagging pants), bum shorts, and miniskirts. The following factors are determined by clothing: Brand, influence from peer groups, current fashion, self-satisfaction, ease of wear, attractive appearance, availability of clothing, and not durability, figure type, wearer’s mood, fit, money available, or comfort. When it comes to comfort, mobility, ease of task performance and activities, protection, and safety, student attire has low functional qualities. The wardrobe choices of undergraduate males and females did not significantly differ from one another. The upshot is that teaching pupils about clothes and textiles will encourage appropriate clothing choices and wearing habits while also aiding in the prevention of indecent attire. As teenagers and young adults, their main concern is keeping up with the times and dressing stylishly to satisfy peer pressure and standards. It was suggested that colleges set a clothing code to help students control their wardrobe, provide workshops and seminars on good fashion once new students are admitted, and punish those who do not follow the rules.

The aim of this academic paper is to analyze the structure of the democratic transition of modern Thailand in terms of its theory, culture, and society. Democracy is an alien concept to Thailand and its earlier Siamese incarnation. This academic article makes use of non-participant participation by using an attitudinal survey (Likert Scale) of Thai persons in addition to focus groups made up of Thai-farang and local Thai couples with and without children. The survey was carried out via Google Survey between 10 July 2023 and 10 September 2023 in Singapore among foreign Thai participants. The size of the local focus group in which f2f was conducted in Singapore was 23 persons. All 23 persons who took part in the f2f focus group were either Thai men and women or Thai men or women married to farang with long-term employment passes in Thailand. The details of their homes in Singapore and Thailand, their birth certificate numbers and their Thai national identity card numbers, ages, and gender were not recorded. The attitudinal survey was also not compulsory and participants could leave any time they wanted; even though none did leave and all remained to take part in the entire survey. Therefore, the survey and the focus group were anonymous. There were a total of 10 questions in the survey and 10 questions were written in English as well as Standard Thai Language (STL) for the focus group. The results of both are listed as Annex A and Annex B to this academic article.

Navigating success: Unveiling the concept framework of “success-route” and its impact on achieving goals in career

Senthil Murugan — Thu, 23 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This paper presents a new conceptual framework known as the “success-route,” explaining its crucial function in

is highlighted, emphasizing the fundamental link between motivation and effective goal setting. This approach
not only improves comprehension of the relationship between motivation and achievement but also increases
success rates by bringing individual passions into line. This meticulously crafted “success-route” serves as a
guide, imparting valuable lessons on overcoming inadequacies and empowering individuals on their journey
