THE INFLUENTIAL FACTORS ON LAND VALUATION: A STUDY COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD AND LESSONS FOR VIETNAM

Through research, it has been shown that within each group of directly or indirectly impacting factors, there are always factors with varying degrees of influence. Regarding natural factors, the location of the land parcel has the most significant impact on land prices, followed by factors such as shape, area, and soil fertility. However, assessing the extent of influence of these factors on land prices is relative, and the degree of impact depends on the specific context of the land parcel and its users. Each land user has different needs. Studying these influencing factors serves as initial theoretical groundwork for determining appropriate and accurate land pricing policies

The Effect of Music on Anxiety of the Endoscopic Client in a Private Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam

Gastrointestinal tract cancer is one of the fifth most common cancers in Vietnam and has a high mortality rate in Vietnamese people based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) global cancer statistics. One-third of adults aged 50 or older, the age group at greatest risk of developing colorectal cancer, have not been screened because endoscopy is considered a stressful procedure. The endoscopic patient sometimes refuses to have the procedure. Therefore, using music to ease the anxiety of endoscopic clients has been examined in various studies but the results have been inconclusive. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of music therapy on the anxiety of Vietnamese endoscopic clients in a district private hospital. The quasi-experimental research evaluated changes in vital signs, pain scores, and anxiety levels before and after the endoscopic procedure among participants who listened to music and those who did not. Forty patients participated: 18 who listened to music before and during the procedure and 22 who served as the control group. The Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 20 was used to analyze data. There was a significant difference among the anxiety levels of those who chose to listen to music and those who did not listen at p \u3c .000. Those who listened to music appeared to have lower anxiety scores pre, peri, and post procedure. No significant differences in perceived pain were found between groups. In conclusion, while music did not result in shortened procedure times or doses of sedative medications utilized, it did reduce blood pressure and heart rate among patients undergoing endoscopy. Additionally, most of the endoscopic clients were willing to repeat an endoscopic procedure in the future. Limitations of this study included a small sample size and since only one hospital was utilized, data might not be representative of the whole endoscopic patient population in Vietnam. Future studies should expand to include more patients at multiple facilities

The Combination of Fighting Against the Crime of Trafficking in People of Police Forces during the Period of International Integration

The combination of fighting against human trafficking is a matter of principle and governed by the State's legal documents, the Directive and the Resolution of the Public Security sector. In fact, good implementation of coordination between police forces in the fight against crimes of trafficking in people has the effect of promoting cooperative forces, supporting each other to find common solutions. for the struggle, set up a legal basis to conduct activities to exchange information on crimes, support material facilities, human resources and technical progress for timely application of measures professional operations to detect and prevent crimes of human trafficking in the current international integration period.

Factors Affecting Plasma Viremia and Host Immune Responses in Dengue Infection

Dengue is the most important arboviral disease affecting humans. Although mortality is generally low, dengue generates a significant burden for health services in endemic countries. Pathogenesis is poorly understood. Secondary dengue is one important risk factor for severe disease, but current algorithms to differentiate primary from secondary infections are of limited utility. Viral burden is also thought to be a major factor influencing disease severity, but existing knowledge of the magnitude and kinetics of plasma viremia in association with different dengue serotypes, primary versus secondary immune status, and/or clinical markers of disease severity, is limited and inconsistent. I first set out to establish novel algorithms that permit differentiation of primary from secondary dengue at any day of illness with high accuracy. Using serial samples from 249 well-characterized patients, categorized as having primary or secondary infections on the basis of PRNTs after six months, I developed a number of models; the algorithm based on the Panbio Indirect IgG performed best (accuracy, 85%), although the models based on the in-house IgG and in-house IgM/IgG ratio were also good (accuracy, 84%). I subsequently applied the IgM/IgG ratio algorithm to define the immune status of 884 patients previously enrolled into early dengue studies. Using serial daily plasma samples I describe detailed plasma viremia responses for 581 DENV1, 152 DENV2 and 151 DENV3 infections. In general DENV1 infections resulted in higher plasma viremia than did DENV2 or DENV3 infections. Overall viremia was higher in primary than secondary DENV1 and DENV3 infections, although similar in DENV2 primary and secondary infections. In addition, higher viremia on Day3 of illness was significantly associated with several disease severity markers: lower platelet nadir, higher haemoconcentration and an increased risk of developing shock and bleeding. Finally I evaluated the effect of early prednisolone therapy on plasma viremia and immune responses, using serial samples from a clinical trial assessing the safety of early oral corticosteroid therapy. Prednisolone did not augment plasma viremia or NS1 antigenaemia, confirming the safety of using the drug during active viral replication. However, the effects of the drug on a range of immune correlates was also limited, consistent with prednisolone having negligible measurable benefits in the clinical trial on which this work was based

Does exchange rate policy matter for economic growth? Vietnam evidence from a co-integration approach

Both economic growth and exchange rate theories suggest that the exchange rate regime could have consequences for the medium-term growth of a country, directly, through its effects on the adjustment to shocks, and indirectly, through its impact on the important determinants of growth. It is, however, surprising that there was little empirical work investigating the indirect relationship between the exchange rate policy and economics growth in the case of a specific country. In a co-integration framework, our research attempts to fill the gap by econometrically investigating the possible impacts of exchange rate regime on economic growth through two main channels - Foreign direct investment (FDI) and Exports - in the case of Vietnam - a successful example of a transitional economy.Exports, Exchange Rate, FDI, Growth, Co-integration

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING VOCABULARY THROUGH GAMES IN COMPARISON WITH THAT IN TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE

This research was conducted to compare the impacts of two vocabulary teaching techniques (through games and the traditional technique) on English vocabulary learning of a low proficiency group of the first students at Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism. 60 subjects were divided in to two groups (an experimental group and a control group) comprising 30 students within the age range of 18-20. The subjects were assigned to two almost homogeneous groups, based on their scores on a general test which had been implemented before. All the students had the same level of English knowledge. The teacher as well as teaching materials was the same for the two groups. In the experimental group, the students were learned new words by memorizing word lists associated with their Vietnamese meanings. In the control group, the students were taught to learn new words through games. The data were collected from the similar tests of the pretest and posttest, which were administered to both groups. Each of them consisted of 40 multiple-choice items of vocabulary and a small post survey at the end of the sessions. The results of the study revealed that the students in the control group outperformed those in the experimental group. Based on the findings of the study , it can be concluded that games enhanced vocabulary development of the learners better than rote memorization of word-lists
