Random walks on mutual microRNA-target gene interaction network improve the prediction of disease-associated microRNAs
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in pathological initiation, progression and maintenance. Because identification in the laboratory of disease-related miRNAs is not straightforward, numerous network-based methods have been developed to predict novel miRNAs in silico. Homogeneous networks (in which every node is a miRNA) based on the targets shared between miRNAs have been widely used to predict their role in disease phenotypes. Although such homogeneous networks can predict potential disease-associated miRNAs, they do not consider the roles of the target genes of the miRNAs. Here, we introduce a novel method based on a heterogeneous network that not only considers miRNAs but also the corresponding target genes in the network model. Results: Instead of constructing homogeneous miRNA networks, we built heterogeneous miRNA networks consisting of both miRNAs and their target genes, using databases of known miRNA-target gene interactions. In addition, as recent studies demonstrated reciprocal regulatory relations between miRNAs and their target genes, we considered these heterogeneous miRNA networks to be undirected, assuming mutual miRNA-target interactions. Next, we introduced a novel method (RWRMTN) operating on these mutual heterogeneous miRNA networks to rank candidate disease-related miRNAs using a random walk with restart (RWR) based algorithm. Using both known disease-associated miRNAs and their target genes as seed nodes, the method can identify additional miRNAs involved in the disease phenotype. Experiments indicated that RWRMTN outperformed two existing state-of-the-art methods: RWRMDA, a network-based method that also uses a RWR on homogeneous (rather than heterogeneous) miRNA networks, and RLSMDA, a machine learning-based method. Interestingly, we could relate this performance gain to the emergence of "disease modules" in the heterogeneous miRNA networks used as input for the algorithm. Moreover, we could demonstrate that RWRMTN is stable, performing well when using both experimentally validated and predicted miRNA-target gene interaction data for network construction. Finally, using RWRMTN, we identified 76 novel miRNAs associated with 23 disease phenotypes which were present in a recent database of known disease-miRNA associations. Conclusions: Summarizing, using random walks on mutual miRNA-target networks improves the prediction of novel disease-associated miRNAs because of the existence of "disease modules" in these networks
The Nguyen Dynasty with the Aesthetic Value of Bronze Relics in Hue
This paper aims to analyze the nguyen dynasty with the aesthetic value of bronze relics in hue. The method using observations, experience, synthesis analysis, historical and dialectical methods and draws some educational lessons for students. This study shows that Copper material is also one of the materials used a lot in objects with religious elements such as bronze bells, bronze bells, etc. Last but not elast, the aesthetic value of decorative art on bronze in Hue is also the combination of basic elements and the fusion of cultural factors
Creating Fatigue Curve for Steel Machine Elements Using Fatigue Test Method with Gradually Increasing Stress Amplitude
In order to create a fatigue curve, the traditional fatigue test method is applied to specimens using a cyclic stress with constant amplitude. However, this method has disadvantages such as the experimental results could not be used because of specimens broken before reaching the expected stress amplitude, or the tests may be stopped before specimen broken because of limitation of time. To overcome this hurdle of the traditional method, a new experimental method using cyclic stress with gradually increasing amplitude was proposed to build the fatigue curve for steel machine elements
Risky behaviors and associated factors among the elderly in rural Vietnam
Background: The number of older people in Vietnam has increased substantially for recent years and leading to more aging health problems. The purpose of this study was to assess risky behaviors and their associated factors among the elderly in rural Vietnam
Environment and Other Problems in Construction Sector - Case of Vietnam Industrial Zones
The purpose of this paper is to address ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER PROBLEMS IN CONSTRUCTION SECTOR - CASE OF VIETNAM INDUSTRIAL ZONES. In this paper, we suggest that Vietnam cities should have policies to encourage and give priority support to production and business establishments that apply clean and environmentally friendly technologies such as gas technology instead of coal technology, firewood in ceramic production, and charcoal production. Bees make use of the residues of buckwheat. High technology is a progressive and inevitable trend to solve environmental pollution in craft villages and industrial zones
Using Pictures As Non-Verbal Language Motivating Students With English Speaking Lessons At Vietnam Primary Schools
The study investigates the reality of students' low participation in speaking activities and the
possibility of using pictures to increase their participation in classroom speaking activities if
necessary. The reason for this research is the lack of using pictures as the visual aids to teach speaking
skill for the students in Vietnam’s context. Although several studies have been conducted on these
subjects with different approaches, Vietnamese students, especially the primary ones, are not paid
much attention as an investigated object. By using methods of questionnaires and tests (pre-tests and
post-tests) combined with qualitative analytical analysis, as well as taking 50 students in grade 4 of a
primary school in Hanoi as the objects to assess their current situation of learning English with
pictures. The research findings indicate that students are more interested in learning English speaking
when using pictures. Moreover, the students’ learning strategies and students’ attitude towards
learning English are the two main causes that make them have low motivation in learning. In all,
motivation and performance of students after the process of applying pictures in learning English
presented an improvement. The results of this study are expected to be beneficial for the teachers in
conducting the teaching curriculum as they can apply pictures as effective supporters
K.Marx-Engels and Ho Chi Minh Viewpoints on Journalism - and Two Fake News Publishing Cases of Thanhnien.vn and Tuoitre.vn (Online Magazines) in Vietnam and Lessons from Indonesia, Japan Approaches
In this paper, by using qualitative analytical analysis with 2 case examples of Thanh nien and Tuoi tre newspapers (online) in Vietnam, in which there are history of publishing fakes news online from 2015, 2016, 2018, 2022 (with very bad editors Nguyen Ngoc Toan and Dang Thi Phuong Thao), as well as giaoduc.edu.vn and vietnamnet.vn in 2022 so we will address some points in this study based on answers for question: “What are regulatory lessons from Indonesia and Japan approaches on publishing fake news?”. We would suggest that there are penalties for negative behaviors of posting fake news online (any fake information) in the context of covid 19 epidemic. Tapsell (2019) defined ‘hoax news’ as similar to the more globally recognized term ‘fake news’: material deliberately fabricated and masqueraded as truth. At last, we will draw some lessons from K.Marx and Ho Chi Minh viewpoints on journalism for educating young generation in emerging markets such as Vietnam
Analyzing Effects of Institutional Quality on Banking Stability: Evidence from Asean Countries
Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of institutional quality on bank stability using bank-level data from 2010 to 2020.
Theoretical framework: The study considers institutions from the perspective of governance institutions. Accordingly, the concept of government institutions is related to the country's organizational foundation in terms of governance, implying institutional quality.
Design/methodology/approach: The study uses GMM method and also choose the Zscore as the primary variable for bank stability.
Findings: The results show that institutional quality increases the stability of banks. Moreover, with the threshold model, the results show that countries with institutional quality above the threshold will increase the stability of banks. In addition, macroeconomic and banking characteristics variables such as total assets, income diversification, quality of control, inflation, and GDP growth rate have a high significance in the model.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The study shows The study's empirical results have specific policy implications for the Government in implementing policies related to institutional quality to improve bank stability.
Originality/value: there are not many researches done to investigate institutional quality to improve bank stability. Moreover, from economic crisis, the matter of banking stability is among main concerns of many researches. Second, previous researches just focus on the aspect of corruption and ignore other aspects or other factors. That’s why authors conduct this research
Publishing Fake Information Online-Case of Online Vietnam Magazines (Thanhnien Newspaper, Tuoi tre newspaper, Vietnamnet.vn, dantri.com.vn, giaoduc.edu.vn, sctv.com.vn, etc.) From an Approach of German and EU Laws and Cybersecurity Regulations
Publishing fake information have at least three bad effects on the community: creating disinformation, anxiety, and disorder in society.
Still using qualitative analytical methods with synthesis and inductive methods, the authors will address 2 cases of Vietnam magazines: thanhnien. vn and tuoitre.vn, vietnamnet. vn, giaoduc.edu.vn, dantri.com.vn, (online newspapers) and recently sctv.com.vn with their issue of publishing fake news online, which increasing as a problem in recent years 2015-2020. In this paper, we also use the European approach and laws on exploring the issue of publishing and delivering false information via the internet and social media. Last but not least, the views and ideologies of V.I Lenin and Ho Chi Minh on journalism and journalists are mentioned for educating the young generation
