Tourism derived from many criteria ranging from activities, attractions, location, travel style and the tourism product category preferred. The present paper aimed to examine the two travel trends The Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) and Iconic landmarks and sites by reviewing relevant literature review from both travel trends, and critically analyse which of one of the two trends is likely to dominate. A comparison of the two trends reveals that JOMO is a type of journey that emphasises with the isolation against technology, with motivation for relaxation, escape from everyday routine and commitments. Meanwhile, iconic landmarks and sites travel trends have the characteristics in novelty seeking to visit exciting places, viewing the scenery and related to tourist self-development. These studies provide valuable insights into the JOMO concept related to the motivation of relax and iconic landmarks and sites tourist attraction described as a ‘flagship, which is highly noticeable as the strongest pull-factors of a destination and regarded a primary growth destination resource. The scope of this study was limited in terms of travel trends from the literature review. Further studies need to be carried out in order to validate the experiences of the traveller within these two travel trends by comparing their expectations, perceptions, and motives.

The purposes of this research were to compare demographic characteristics and motivations of tourists as a push factor and a pull factor, to assess the potential of the tourism components, and to propose guidelines for the development of tourism for tourists with different demographic characteristics in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. It was collected information from four hundred Thai tourists who traveled to the tourist attraction in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Then it was analyzed using statistical, descriptive, mean, standard deviation, t-Test One-Way ANOVA interpretation, and qualitative research by Non-participant observation of the five tourism components (5A). It found that the samples with different genders, ages, monthly incomes, and domiciles had different tourism behaviors, but the samples with different marital statuses do not have different tourism behaviors. The main reason for traveling to Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province was the need for change and self-development, followed by the response to private needs. In terms of pull factors, it found that the samples focused on tourist attractions at a high level, followed by amenities, access, accommodations, and activities were at moderate to high.

Purpose – This paper aims to analyse the socio-economic role of museums. Design/methodology/approach – To explore the socio-economic role of museums, relevant literature on the role of museums was reviewed. Books and articles were consulted to shed light on museums as a cultural tourism product offering within the broader context of tourism as a catalyst of societal development. Findings – The literature review revealed that museums are symbols of unity and identity and can serve as a catalyst of economic development of local communities. The article dispels the perception that museums are places where old stuff is stored and that they are at the periphery of societal development. Research limitations/implications – The paper is based on literature review and not an empirical study. Practical implications – This paper proposes that museums should play a more active role in the socio-economic development of society. Social implications – This paper suggests that museums should educate the public about their role and place in society. Most importantly, they should create awareness about the socio-economic opportunities which they create. Thus, museums should position themselves as part of the societal effort to deal with societal challenges and not relegate themselves to the fringes of society. To this end, museums should establish partnerships with other agents of societal development. These organisations include chambers of commerce, educational institutions, government agencies and tourism organisations. Originality/value – The paper dispels the perception that museums are places where old stuff is stored and that they are at the periphery of societal development.

The purpose of this study was to identify a model of relationship between novelty seeking based tourism, service quality and destination image toward tourists' satisfaction and tourists' revisiting in the Ketep Pass area of Magelang Regency. Data collection used a survey through questionnaires, observation and interviews of 249 domestic and foreign tourists with purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed by structural equation model to test the hypothesis. The results of the study prove that novelty seeking based tourist attraction, service quality and destination image give significant influence on tourists' satisfaction and revisiting. This condition explains that the diversity of potential tourist attractions in the Magelang Regency Ketep Pass area can be developed as a new tourist destination (novel atraction) on the Solo-Selo-Borobudur (SSB) route with the characteristic of the mountain tourism namely Mount Merapi. This new tourist attraction is able to provide meaningful benefits for tourists in the form of enrichment values, self-development, challenge or adventure, as well as new knowledge or insight even though sometimes full of risks.

Background Isolated capitate nonunion is rare. No consensus on the appropriate treatment for this condition exists. Case Description We reported two cases of capitate fracture nonunion presenting several months after untreated high-impact wrist trauma. Treatment was delayed as both patients' nonunions were missed on conventional radiographs. Both were ultimately diagnosed with advanced imaging and successfully treated with internal fixation and autogenous bone grafting. The relevant literature pertaining to capitate nonunion was reviewed. Literature Review Immobilization and internal fixation with bone grafting for capitate nonunion have been described in the literature. Loss of vascular supply and progression to avascular necrosis is a concern after capitate nonunion. Clinical Relevance We present two cases and review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of this rare injury to guide management. Internal fixation with autogenous bone grafting could play a role in management for this rare condition.

On a prima facia reading, Zhuangzi seems to endorse some form of skepticism or relativism. This seems at odds with Zhuangzi as one of the two main sources of classical Daoism, considering the ideals of virtue and self-development promoted by that philosophy. However, Zhuangzi’s metaphorical and allegorical style lends itself to a number of interpretations of his epistemology, as well as the kind of self-knowledge and ethical development it might allow. A survey of the relevant literature shows that the epistemological debate is not easily solvable, but by narrowing the range of interpretations, a coherent picture of his ethics begins to emerge, one in which some form of knowledge, especially self-knowledge, is still possible, as is an ethics of self-actualization.

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to develop a research model derived from relevant literature to guide empirical efforts. Background: Companies struggle to innovate, which is essential for improving their performance, surviving in competition, and growing. A number of studies have discussed company innovation capability, stating that innovation capability is influenced by several variables such as cooperation and knowledge management. Therefore, further research is necessary to identify factors playing a role in enhancing innovation capability. Methodology: This study is based on systematic literature review. The stages are: (1) research scope review, (2) comprehensive online research, (3) journal quality assessment, (4) data extraction from journals, (5) journal synthesis, and (6) comprehensive report. The online research used Google Scholar database, by browsing titles, abstracts, and keywords to locate empirical research studies in peer-reviewed journals published in 2010-2020. Furthermore, 62 related articles were found, of which 38 articles were excluded from further analysis and 24 articles were selected because they were more related to the topic. Contribution: The results of this study enrich the research in the field of knowledge management, cooperation, and innovation capability by developing a conceptual framework of innovation capability. The proposed theoretical model may be fundamental in addressing the need of a research model to guide further empirical efforts. Findings: This study provides a research model derived from systematically reviewing relevant literature. The proposed theoretical model was done by incorporating the aspects of knowledge management, cooperation, and innovation capability. The model shows that knowledge management and cooperation are essential aspects of innovation capability. Furthermore, this study also provides the dimensions and sub dimensions of each variable that was established after synthesizing the literature review. Recommendations for Practitioners: Business practitioners can use the identified predictors of innovation capability and the dimensions of each variable to explore their company’s innovation capability. They can also take the relevant variables into consideration when making policies regarding innovation. Recommendation for Researchers: The theoretical model proposed in this study needs validation with further empirical investigation. Impact on Society: Readers of this paper can obtain an understanding that knowledge management and cooperation are essential aspects to consider in enhancing innovation capability. Future Research: Future studies should explore other dimensions of knowledge management and cooperation through alternative approaches and perspectives.

Meconium periorchitis (MPO) is an uncommon entity associated with healed meconium peritonitis. The typical presentation is a soft hydrocele at birth which becomes harder in weeks as the meconium calcifies. A lack of awareness of this rare disease may lead to unnecessary surgery of scrotal masses. It can resolve spontaneously without compromising the testicle. Scrotal ultrasound is the mainstay of imaging and abdominal plain film is less sensitive but can help in the diagnosis. We report a case of a meconium periorchitis and discuss its radiological and histological features. We also review the relevant literature.
