Influence of Stereotyping Thinking on Connotative Meaning of Phraseological Units in Indo-European Tradition
Stereotypes are collective attainment and can be identical and opposite in different cultures. The correlation of the ethnic consciousness with stereotyped thinking influences the decoding and reinterpretation of different cultural codes. Stereotypes, determined by culture, confirm the positive or negative experience of a certain ethnic group, which emphasizes the originality and uniqueness of national features
Exploring the Development of Highway Tourism in Ethnic Minority Areas within the Context of Cultural and Tourism Integration
Economic development in China's ethnic minority regions is vital for strengthening the collective national identity of the Chinese nation. As material living standards improve, there is an increased focus on cultural and spiritual needs, with highway tourism emerging as a current trend. This paper delves into the development of highway tourism in ethnic minority regions, examining routes such as the Tacheng, Duku, and Nenmo highway tours. It evaluates the existing state and distinctive features of these tours, identifies developmental challenges, and proposes strategies for optimizing spatial distribution, enhancing promotion of ethnic uniqueness, strategic route planning, and encouraging ethnic integration

The “Name Game”: Affective and Hiring Reactions to First Names
Purpose – The paper seeks to examine how the uniqueness and ethnicity of first names influence affective reactions to those names and their potential for hire. Design/methodology/approach – In study 1, respondents evaluated 48 names in terms of uniqueness and likeability, allowing us to select names viewed consistently as Common, Russian, African-American, and Unusual. In Study 2 respondents assessed the uniqueness and likeability of the names, and whether they would hire someone with the name. Findings – Results indicated that Common names were seen as least unique, best liked, and most likely to be hired. Unusual names were seen as most unique, least liked, and least likely to be hired. Russian and African-American names were intermediate in terms of uniqueness, likeability and being hired, significantly different from Common and Unique names, but not significantly different from each other. Research limitations/implications – The name an individual carries has a significant impact on how he or she is viewed, and conceivably, whether or not the individual is hired for a job. Practical implications – Human resource professionals need to be aware that there seems to be a clear bias in how people perceive names. When resumés are screened for hiring, names should be left off. Our findings also suggest that when selecting, parents may want to reconsider choosing something distinctive. Originality/value – This study offers original findings in regards to names, combining diverse research from social psychology and labor economics, and offering practical implications
Foreign Tourists' Perceptions of Toraja as a Cultural Site in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
This study discusses foreign tourists' perceptions of Toraja which is a cultural tourism site in South
Sulawesi, Indonesia. Every year, tourists visit Toraja to participate in their yearly rituals of death take time
to visit the graves inside the mountain cliffs (in caves) as they feel the rich cultural heritage and have a view
of the traditional houses. Data were collected by interviewing these tourists through the use of
questionnaires with randomly selected respondents. The results obtained showed that knowledge about
Toraja cultural tourism gained by foreign tourists before their visit creates curiosity and willingness to obtain
experiences in Toraja ethnic culture. Foreign tourists get to experience Toraja's rich cultural heritage.
According to them, Toraja is one of the most unique, special and outstanding tourism centers in the world.
The uniqueness of Toraja culture creates greater curiosity among tourists so that they want to have a
cultural experience by conducting a tour to Toraja and through direct communication with Toraja people.
However, they also stated the importance of some objects other than those previously listed. Tourist objects
that are all related to grief such as graves, however, cause some boredom. Some tourists frowned upon
the mismanagement of some tourist centers such as the natural agrotourism center which is known to
produce the ingredients used in Toraja products and they suggested ways to manage these areas more
effectively

Acculturation of Javanese And Malay Islam in Wedding Tradition of Javanese Ethnic Community at Selangor, Malaysia
This study is to see the level of acculturation of Javanese and Malay Islams in Javanese community wedding at Selangor Malaysia. According to the theory of culture, each culture has a uniqueness, as a individual uniqueness. The unique culture of Javanese ethnic wedding in Selangor is believed to be a process of negotiation between Malay and Javanese culture.. Acculturation theory is used in this research to explain and understand the reality of that culture. The study concluded that ethnic wedding traditions of Javanese Islam in Selangor pointed to the high level of acculturation. The acculturation leads to a “substitution” and “syncretism”. The substitution refers to the meaning that the Javanese tradition for the most replaced with new cultures (Malay). Acculturation can also be said as a cultural syncretism, the mixing of these two cultures into a new culture that are distinctive.Copyright (c) 2016 by KARSA.

Measuring Confidentiality Risks in Census Data
Two trends have been on a collision course over the recent past. The first is the increasing demand by researchers for greater detail and flexibility in outputs from the decennial Census of Population. The second is the need felt by the Census Offices to demonstrate more clearly that Census data have been explicitly protected from the risk of disclosure of information about individuals. To reconcile these competing trends the authors propose a statistical measure of risks of disclosure implicit in the release of aggregate census data. The ideas of risk measurement are first developed for microdata where there is prior experience and then modified to measure risk in tables of counts. To make sure that the theoretical ideas are fully expounded, the authors develop small worked example. The risk measure purposed here is currently being tested out with synthetic and a real Census microdata. It is hoped that this approach will both refocus the census confidentiality debate and contribute to the safe use of user defined flexible census output geographies

Barriers to Ethnic Minority and Women’s Enterprise:Existing Evidence, Policy Tensions and Unsettled Questions
This article presents an overarching review of the evidence regarding enterprise diversity. It discusses the context of ethnic minorities and women in enterprise and summarises research evidence relating to their relative access to finance, market selection and management skills. Policy within the field of diversity and enterprise is characterised by a number of tensions and unresolved questions including the presence of perceived or actual discrimination, the quantity and quality of ethnic minority and women-led businesses, potential market failure in the support provided to diverse enterprises and the substantive uniqueness of ethnic minority and women-led enterprises. Particular implications for policy and practice as well as directions for future research are discussed
