We demonstrated that the methanol extract of Mitrephora thoreliiPierre's branches and leavesin Lam Dong, Vietnam is anti-Staphylococcus aureusstrain (Sta1) of Phenikaa University, Hanoi, Viet Nam and Staphylococcus aureusATCC 29213strain(Sta2) from Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA. Invitro anti-Sta1 and Sta2 activity of the methanol extract of Mitrephora thoreliiPierre's branches and leaves were not significantly different. With a rise in extract content, the inhibitory zone's created diameter grew as well. The extract content of 100 mg/mL demonstrated the greatest antibacterial activity with a 25 mm inhibition zone diameter against Sta1 and 24mm inhibition zone diameter against Sta2. Bacteria were not resistant to the extract at concentrations of 20; 80 and 100 mg/mL after 48, 72, and 96 hours. The lowest inhibitory concentration (MIC) was between 312.5 and 625 μg/mL. The minimum bactericidal concentration was found to be 1.25mg/mL.

In the context of covid-19 pandemic, effective recruitment of prospective employees from campuses can assist businesses in recovering and even winning on the market. However, this process requires an updated and concrete understanding of the young talents. In this paper, the authors explore which factors affect the intention to apply for a job of economics students in Ho Chi Minh City in consideration of the pandemic’s impacts. A significant part of the proposed model was based on clues retrieved from prior studies on organizational attractiveness. Based on the analysis of data collected from 206 economics-majored undergraduates from tertiary institutions based in Ho Chi Minh City, the authors find that the diversity inherent in the job and work practices at a company strongly influences the applying intent. Economic dimension, together with opportunities to learn and advance, is the next important predictors of intention to apply. The students’ intentions of applying are also affected by their perceptions of the social values and company’s reputation.

This paper examines the impact of each sensory element in Sensory Marketing on the intention to reuse Vietnam Airlines’ services of people living in Hanoi city. In which, the authors test the direct impact of Brand Image along with the control variable of Demographic characteristics on the intention to reuse services. In addition, the reuse intention is also indirectly influenced by each sensory element (visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile) in Sensory Marketing with brand image as a mediating variable. This research presented the results of qualitative and quantitative empirical research in Hanoi city from December 9, 2021 to February 9, 2022 to test the theoretical model as well as the research hypotheses proposed by the authors. The study results demonstrated that sensory factors such as visual (0.682), tactile (0.214), olfactory (0.185), auditory (0.128), and gustatory (0.117) have an indirect positive impact on the intention to reuse aviation services of Vietnam Airlines through brand image. Besides, the intention to reuse the services was also positively and directly affected by the brand image (0.247).

Background: To evaluate the complete blood count of Laotian students in Hue city. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study on 400 Lao students who were examinated the complete blood count at Department of Hematology, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy from September 2019 to May 2020. Results: 400 Lao students (male/female = 1/1.2), the students who came from Salavan province accounted for the highest percentage (22.25%). The mean of age was 24.78 ± 6.44 (17 - 44). The mean of red blood cells (RBC) was 5.13 ± 0.73 T/L and of hemoglobin in the study group was 129.27 ± 18.58 g/L. The percentage of students with anemia was 13.5% and there were 3 students with severe anemia. The mean of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were respectively 81.27 ± 9.32 fL (49.2 - 103.9) and 25.50 ± 3.56 pg (11.8 - 33.2). The mean of white blood cells (WBC) and platelets (PLT) were respectively 7.42 ± 2.29 G/L and 272.33 ± 83.62 G/L. There was a correlation between anemia and age (p < 0.05), mainly in 26 - 40. There was significant difference about RBC and Hb between anemic group and non-anemic group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is essential to check the complete blood count of Laotian students to evaluate anemia and screen hemoglobinopathies. Keywords: Laotian students, red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), hemoglobin (Hb)

In this study, iron benzenedicarboxylate framework/graphene nanoplatelets (MIL-100(Fe)/GNPs) composites have been synthesized. As-prepared composite materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR techniques, UV-VIS diffuse reflectance.

The major intendment of this study was to discover the interactive relationship between productivity and social performance, in which the productivity measured as a ratio of number of active borrowers to number of staff, the social performance is measured through the breadth of outreach and the depth of outreach. This research used the panel data regression method with research data from thirty-six selected CFIs in Vietnam from 2013 to 2018. The study results discovered that the debt-to-equity ratio, equity growth rate, breadth of outreach and return on equity had positive relationships with productivity and that the depth of outreach, loan-to-deposit ratio, non-performing loans ratio and return on assets had negative relationships with productivity. The age of CFIs, debt-to-equity ratio, breadth of outreach had positive relationships with the depth of outreach; the productivity and financial sustainability had negative impacts on the depth of outreach. The depth of outreach, productivity and non-performing loans ratio had positive relationships with the breadth of outreach; the deposit growth ratio had a negative impact on the breadth of outreach. The research had determined the bidirectional interactions and relationship between productivity and social performance. Based on the findings the study offers policy implication and further emphasizes optimal policies to CFIs management that helps the policy makers, CFIs managers and executives in improving the overall productivity and increasing the social performance of CFIs in Vietnam.

Customer satisfaction towards microfinance services is a measure of how microfinance services supplied by a microfinance institution meet or surpass customer expectation. The use of microfinance services plays a very important role in the socioeconomic development and contributes significantly to the development of microfinance sector in one nation. This study aims at measuring the customer satisfaction towards microfinance services they are using. This study uses the five broad dimension theory of service quality, data will be collected from the way of survey from microfinance institutions (MFIs) customers and later on will be analyzed by statistical technique and tools like descriptive statistics, and correlation method. The descriptive statistics are conducted to show out some specific areas in which MFIs need to pay more attention. The correlation analysis is to find out the relationship between each independent variable and the dependent variable. Finally, the conclusion and recommendation will summarize the key findings of the research and give suggestions to MFIs in Vietnam.

This study purposes to discover the interactive relationship between credit growth and profitability and to examine factors that affect the credit growth and profitability of people's credit funds (PCFs). After regression analysis on a set of panel data from 2013 to 2018 on 24 selected PCFs, it appeared that deposit growth and loan-to-deposit ratio had positive relationships with credit growth, and capital adequacy ratio and profitability had negative relationships with credit growth of PCFs. The age of PCFs has a positive relationship with profitability, while the credit growth, debt-to-equity ratio, non-performing loan ratio, economic growth and inflation have negative relationships with profitability of PCFs. The study found the credit growth and profitability have relationships with each other in a contrary trend. Based on the findings the study proposes policy measures that could be implemented by the managers to increase PCFs’ credit growth rate and profitability.
