Online Learning Management in Covid-19 Pandemic: Case in Vietnam

The world is dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic, which has created enormous impacts on education, especially on learning management, requiring the adjustment and implementation of an online learning system effectively.The process of digital transformation has been promoted rapidly to adapt to new conditions in Education.Nowadays the online system has facilitated students of all levels to study at anytime and anywhere owing to the development of technologies.However, the existence and limits ofonline teaching and learning have been mentioned such as the complicated implementation or limited communication of active teaching methods compared to an actual classroom. Therefore, innovative teaching strategies and models are now required to be more diverse to encourage learners to focus on the lesson.In this study, we proposed an optimal paradigm of online learning management: the combination of several supported programs to effectivelymanage the teaching process. The approach has been appliedtothe Basic Informatics course for students majoring in Primary Education at the Thai Nguyen University of Education, Vietnam, and suggesteda flexible approach to stimulate learners' enthusiasm, express opinions, and actively participate in activities for enhancing their achievements. In addition, the investigation and discussion from lecturers and students about the digital transformation challenges in learning management also were presented and proposed the necessary information for the educational process

Regularity for the steady Stokes-type flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids in some generalized function settings

A study of regularity estimate for weak solution to generalized stationary Stokes-type systems involving $p$-Laplacian is offered. The governing systems of equations are based on steady incompressible flow of a Newtonian fluids. This paper also provides a relatively complete picture of our main results in two regards: problems with nonlinearity is regular with respect to the gradient variable; and asymtotically regular problems, whose nonlinearity satisfies a particular structure near infinity. For such Stokes-type systems, we derive regularity estimates for both velocity gradient and its associated pressure in two special classes of function spaces: the generalized Lorentz and $\psi$-generalized Morrey spaces.Comment: 35 page

Study on the antifungal potential of Piper betle methanol extract against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides cutinase

Piper betle methanol extract and its compositional characteristics had been evidenced for their effective inhibitability against rice-blast fungus. In this work, they were subjected for further computational efforts to complete their bio-chemo-pharmacological profile, and broaden their anti-fungal potentiality against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides cutinase presentative (PDB-3DEA). As the results, the most noticeable promising inhibitors particularly regard to 5 (DS -10.8 kcal.mol-1; ground-state energy -499.50 a.u.; dipole moment 2.61 Debye; no toxicity; content 49.90 %) and 6 (DS -10.9 kcal.mol-1; ground-state energy -652.15 a.u.; dipole moment 2.82 Debye; no toxicity; content 13.23 %), given by both their natural contents and predicted properties. The theoretical retrievals would reinforce the antifungal activities of P. betle and be conducive to further efforts to develop a green fungicidal alternative with broad-spectrum and cost-effective pesticidal advantages

In silico extension on the antidiabetic potential of Euonymus laxiflorus natural compounds onto the inhibitability against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B

Euonymus laxiflorus bioactive compounds 1-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzene (1), Walterolactone A/B β-D-pyranoglucoside (2), Gallocatechin (3), Leonuriside A (4), Methyl galloate (5), and Catechin (6) were experimentally evidenced for their multi-inhibition against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. In this work, they were subjected to a combination of computational platforms on tyrosine phosphatase 1B (UniProtKB-PTP1B). As the results, the overall potentiality for bio-inhibitory applications is primarily evaluated by the order: 1 (DSaverage -12.2 kcal.mol-1; polarisability 45.5 Å; no toxicity; ground-state energy -1222.73 a.u.; dipole moment 0.989 Debye) > 2 (DSaverage -9.7 kcal.mol-1; polarisability 39.4 Å; no toxicity; ground-state energy -1070.08 a.u.; dipole moment 6.726 Debye) > 4 (DSaverage -9.1 kcal.mol-1; polarisability 45.1 Å; no toxicity; ground-state energy -1222.73 a.u.; dipole moment 4.895 Debye). Altogether, the retrievals encourage further attempts to test the inhibitory effects of 2 against tyrosine phosphatase 1B and improve the dipole moment of 1 to enhance its biological applicability

Dealing With Non-Performing Loans During The Bank Restructuring Process in Vietnam: Assessment Using The AHP and TOPSIS Methods

This article aims to assess the solutions that have been implemented in Vietnam to deal with non-performing loan(s) (NPLs) in the banking system. By trying to build evaluation criteria through a literature review and an expert survey, as well as using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), this research measures the effectiveness of the resolution of NPLs in Vietnam through many factors. The empirical results show that, in the past, the banking system in Vietnam has not dealt very well with bad debt, as it mostly uses traditional methods such as NPL write-offs by loan loss reserves or the liquidation of collateral. Based on our consideration of the NPLs’ resolutions that the Vietnamese banking system has implemented recently, we propose some suggestions to improve the necessary conditions for applying more market-based solutions, such as debt-equity swaps and securitization to thoroughly resolve the NPLs in Vietna

Review of Literature of Faculty Motivation for Doing Research in Universities

Faculty research in the universities plays a very important role in the education and development of every country in the world. The purpose of this research is to review studies in this field, different approaches in studies, and fundamental theories used for studies. The results obtained from the literature review show that many scholars have conducted researches on the determinants influencing the faculty productivity to do research. Most of studies apply the theories of working motivation. However, not many scholars conduct research on the faculty motivation to do research. The final result of this research provides follow-up suggestions for studies of the motivation for conducting research on the side of lecturers, thereby guiding managers to enhance faculty motivation to do research.

Internal Quality Assurance of Institutional Learning Outcomes: United States Case Study and Implications for Vietnam Higher Education

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are under pressure to provide evidence of student success. In addition to traditional performance indicators such as GPA, grades, and rates of retention, graduation and employment, stakeholders also required institutions to provide evidence of institutional learning outcomes (ILOs). ILOs encompass the knowledge and skills that all students regardless of disciplines from a specific university are expected to demonstrate upon their graduation. This case study examines a complete internal quality assurance (IQA) cycle from a U.S. comprehensive university, including the adaptation of national authentic assessment measures, the use of technology in data analysis, the best practices to communicate assessment results to multiple internal stakeholders to facilitate leadership decision-making, the challenges encountered, and the improvement plans to sustain the procedure. Researchers also make recommendations to Vietnam HEIs that want to adopt IQA of ILOs for both quality improvement and accountability purposes

Effects of Electroporation on Biological Membranes Exposed to High Potentials

This study first considers that voltages of cellular organelle membranes could significanly surpass these of plasma membranes under the influence of ultrashort and high-intensity electric pulse. This is due to the voltages induced on the membrane. Using an approximate theory coordinated with the Kotnik's analytical method, considering the electroporation, we focus on the reactions of cell membranes placed in a trapezoidal pulse. Then, we discuss conductive power dissipations of normal cell and cancer cell generated by a sinusoidal exposure which include dielectric relaxation effects. In comparison with  the complex numerical calculations of Joshi \textit{et al}, our results are in very good agreement
