Rice price movements are basically influenced by movements in macroeconomic variables. This paper analyzes whether there is an asymmetric effect of macroeconomic variables on rice prices in Thailand as the largest rice exporter in ASEAN. In analyzing the asymmetric effects of macroeconomic variables (inflation and exchange rates) on rice prices in ASEAN countries, data on rice prices, exchange rates and inflation are used. This study focused on Thailand, one of the ASEAN exporting countries. The type of data used is monthly time series data with a time span of quarterly data from 2015Q1 to 2019Q1. The estimation evaluation results indicate that using a nonlinear model to examine the effect of inflation and the exchange rate on rice prices is preferable to using a linear model. The Wald's test estimation results in the short term show that for the NARDL model with asymmetric effects in the long and short term, Thailand has only a significant inflation variable while the Exchange Rate is not significant. Long-term Wald test estimation results show that the NARDL model in Thailand is not significant in all models.

Scientific character affects the mental processes of a person who studies the science. The implication is that the ability to think differently to master accounting is strongly influenced by cognitive mental processes, namely mental accounting [10]. Meanwhile, the learning model that stimulates the divergent thinking process is one of the treffinger techniques. This model is known as Creative Problem Solving (CPS) which encourages a divergent process through a set of tools to solve problems, develop new ideas and manage change creatively [3]. To achieve the success of divergent thinking in accounting involves a cognitive construction process, namely mental accounting [10]. Meanwhile, mental accounting can be placed on positive cognitive processes, but also has negative roots and can develop perfectly as long as the learning process stimulates negative cognitive potential [7]. Therefore, this study investigates how accounting students achieve positive divergent thinking in cognitive mental accounting dilemmas through literature review. The study resulted in a positive divergent thinking model under mental accounting dilemmas.

We surveyed to examine fraud detection. Specifically, we investigate the impact of whistleblowing and professional skepticism on fraud detection by using moderating fraud audit training. All of the respondents were auditors working for the Supreme Audit Institution Representative of Papua Province in Indonesia. Using a census sampling method. The data collection technique used an instrument through a questionnaire. A total of 40 auditors participated in this study. The application of moderated regression analysis (MRA) approach for data analysis. The findings indicate that whistleblowing and professional skepticism have a significant influence on fraud detection. Analyzing the moderating variables of fraud audit training does not strengthen professional skepticism and fraud detection. The implications of our results for internal and external audits of government enhance professional skepticism through fraud audit training and using whistleblowing information.

This study applies social practice theory to explain how waste management as a social practice increases collective mindfulness and collective mindful consumption. In this study, a qualitative research design using a case study technique was applied. A series of in-depth interviews were conducted with two waste banks and several households around them. The result of this study is waste management practice will evoke collective mindfulness and collective mindful consumption with the following processes: (1) Agents may reconfigure the elements of material, rules, and skills of waste management practices. (2) When agents perform the waste management practice frequently and consistently, the residents will participate in the practice which means that the new practice recruit new carriers. (3) For practice in the community to evolve, the recruitment of carriers depends on frequent exposure to the practice. (4) When the residents are mindful, they will transform their product choices into solutions that benefit themselves and the environment.
