“Guyub Trisno” Fine Art Exhibition: Donation and Recovery of The COVID-19 Pandemic

They initiated a joint exhibition for donations and recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. This exhibition was attended by 118 artists and exhibited around 200 works of art, paintings and sculptures. The first purpose is an effort to share and the second is so that artists can fulfill their artistic expression. This study uses a qualitative method in the form of an explanation of the pandemic condition and how a group of Guyub Tresno conducts exhibition efforts as one of the recovery efforts. The pandemic period in various fields experienced significant social and economic changes in society. Life is relatively difficult and efforts to maintain and develop the arts continue. Artists generally focus on how to create works according to their intuition. Meanwhile the strategy of how the work can be distributed with a certain dowry during the pandemic is also relatively difficult. This also applies to other disadvantaged groups of people, namely orphans of course. Those experiencing the same problem may be more concerned. The limitations of children who have lost their parents as the foundation of life and learning to live are gone. Meanwhile, this happens to artists who are in a state of suspended animation. This exhibition is one of the positive forums for an honorable life and ways to share with others. The aim of this exhibition is recovery (Farah & Nasution, 2020) together with the way artists share with fellow artists and orphans. It is hoped that it can contribute to awakening the creative process of artists and can ease the burden on orphans affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The Relationship Between Social Isolation and Self-Reported Healthy Eating Behavior in Millennials: A Comparative Study between Spain and Colombia

This research analyses the moderating effects of the need for relatedness in the relationship between behavioral intention (attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm behavior, and perceived behavioral control) and self-reported healthy eating behavior in millennials. A structural equation model was used in a sample of 2380 young people (25–35 years old) in Colombia and Spain (1190 for each country) considered healthy-food consumers. The results show that both attitudes toward the behavior and subjective norm behavior positively influence self-reported healthy eating behavior. In contrast, perceived control behavior does not affect self-reported healthy eating behavior. The need for relatedness moderates the relationship between behavioral intention and self-reported healthy eating behavior. The results suggest that the isolation conditions caused by the pandemic directly affect the behavior of millennials regarding the consumption of healthy food. This pandemic condition affects their lifestyles and preferences associated with consumption.

Aims: This study investigates herding under covid 19 pandemic. Also, this research aims to measure the effect of investors' sentiment toward herding behavior moderated by culture shock in the emerging market stock exchange.

 Place and Duration of Study: The samples of this study are 26 countries incorporated in emerging stock markets. The observation is 10.192. The duration of the research is from December 2019 to June 2021.
 Methodology: This Research uses the model of Chang et al. (2000) to estimate herding behavior as the dependent variable. The independent variable is investor sentiment measured by the VIX and VXEEM indices. Culture shock is assumed as a moderating variable measured by dummy variables. The variables of cultural shock are divided into three phases: the honeymoon phase at the beginning of the covid virus spreading, the lockdown phase, and the new normal phase. The data for culture shock is taken from WHO data. The research will be analyzed with Moderated Regression Analysis with EViews.
 Results: The results of this study consist of the following: First, investors in capital markets in developing countries are proven to have anti-herding behavior in making investment decisions during the Covid-19 pandemic. Second, investor sentiment has influenced herding behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic. Lastly, the covid-19 pandemic condition has strengthened investor sentiment to carry out herding behavior, especially in the honeymoon phase or at the beginning of the pandemic.

 Conclusion: The results of this study provide helpful information for developing research in the financial and investor behavior in understanding investor behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic. Investor sentiment toward the possibility of a decline in capital market performance gives rise to irrational behavior (herding). In addition, cultural shocks to new habits during the pandemic can also strengthen investor sentiment and cause herding behavior.
