    Forgetting is adaptive because it decreases future interference (a conflict between information in memory), and it enables selectivity of information recollection. Thus, relevant information can be activated, and irrelevant information can be inhibited. Memory inhibition is the ability to override memory as a whole or a part of it, with or without intention. This conceptual paper will provide an in-depth literature review based on a few empirical types of research that provide evidence that information in memory can be inhibited and the attempt to impede memory would hinder the information retrieval later. Within this study, the author identified various empirical research that inhibition of the memory is possible through (a) retrieval-induced forgetting, (b) directed forgetting, and (c) direct suppression: think and no-think paradigm. In addition, research gaps and limitations are identified, which would provide additional information for extended research in future.

    A large number of online interaction and sharing of personal information on social media networking sites has raised new privacy issues. This is said to be due to online users' lack of privacy concerns, thus promoting online self-disclosure in social media. Against this concern, this paper will provide a conceptual understanding on the predictor towards online self-disclosure, which is privacy concerns among the users. According to the summary of literatures, it is hypothesized that privacy concerns will hamper self-disclosure online. Based on the proposed framework, propositions are formulated as a basis for the study that will follow.

    The development of information and communication technology (ICT) accelerates the process of adapting to digital life. Digital practices and behaviors in life have significant impact both positively and negatively. However, digital media users are always exposed to cybersecurity threats that undermine their digital wellbeing. This paper focuses on the relationship between cybersecurity, media and information literacy (MIL), digital literacy, and digital readiness towards the digital wellbeing of youth in Malaysia. This framework combines the advanced version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) and the UNESCO Digital Wellbeing Framework. The proposed methodology for this study is a quantitative method using an online questionnaire with respondents selected through simple random sampling. The study's results are expected to determine the level of digital wellbeing among Malaysian youth in particular. In addition, this study also predicts the variables that influence the digital wellbeing of youth. The results of this study provide theoretical implications for the combination of the UTAUT2 theory and the holistic nine-dimensional digital wellbeing framework. In addition, the results of this study can provide input to stakeholders to empower cyber safety advocacy programs, digital literacy education, and the development of youth digital talents.

    In the Web 2.0 era, social media are pervasive, rapidly evolving and increasingly influencing people's daily life and their health behaviour. Emerging as a potential source for online health information it significantly contributed to the increase in access and usage of new media, particularly among youth. However, little is known about how they use social media for such purposes. This study is seek to identify the patterns of social media use among youth scouting around (1) the most popular social media, types and form of information sought (2) frequency of social media use and (3) activities on social media in the context of health information search. This descriptive quantitative study consisted of an online questionnaire survey of 509 youth. The population is a group of youths who are pursuing their studies at public universities (age range 18-25) randomly selected through multi stage random sampling. Four selected universities to represent the zones and G Power Analysis Software has been used to identify sample size. Facebook is the main choice for respondents in the search for health information after Youtube and Blog. Twitter was less used by respondents in the context of health information search. In terms of health information sought, the majority of respondents liked to seek information about the cause of the disease, symptoms, complications or effects and nutritional information. Most respondents prefer to seek health information in the form of images and storytelling/personal experiences of suffering from illness. Respondents spent most of their time on Blog and Youtube for reading on health information. Youth are using social media for seeking health information. However, they are more likely to consume information than they are to contribute to the information posted online. The inherent value of "social"in social media is not being captured with online health information use.

    The reality of ethnic and cultural diversity in the classroom today is a massive challenge for teachers, especially prospective teachers. The teacher education program is vital in educating prospective teachers with culturally responsive pedagogy and teaching students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A school environment consisting of students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds requires teachers to meet their needs. Teachers must be culturally competent to respond effectively in terms of diversity in their classrooms and prepare their students to live and work in a global society. Preparing prospective teachers for this role is not an easy task and what makes it more difficult is that the diversity of teachers does not always match the diversity of students in schools. This paper will discuss cultural competency among prospective teachers and related theories regarding this issue. Teachers and prospective teachers should show professional competencies that will enable them to work effectively, respectfully, and ethically with students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
