This research is conducted as a test of the level of satisfaction of residents in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, specifically in DamB’ri Commune, Bao Loc City, Lam Dong Province. The survey of 100 residents at 4 hamlets of DamB’ri Commune did not record statistically significant differences in the level of satisfaction of participants for the criteria including sexes, educational level, occupation, and working age. Nevertheless, there was a statistically noticeable higher level of satisfaction with Health Insurance for participants who are officers at Hamlet 3. The results of the multiple linear regression method, including 7 independent variables and 1 dependent variable, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM), show that the awareness about restrictions and benefits are the core factors impacting the level of satisfaction of residents. The results also provide crucial evidence for authorities and policymakers to devise plans and solutions to increase the level of satisfaction with Health Insurance for people in Central Highlands.
AI is transforming English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education by facilitating personalized learning and intelligent tutoring globally. This study examines the readiness and intentions of educators in Thu Dau Mot City, Vietnam, to adopt AI in their EFL classrooms. Through surveys and interviews with 102 teachers and lecturers, results show a high perceived usefulness and intention to integrate AI (M = 4.10). However, challenges remain with moderate ease of use (M = 3.92), low confidence in AI tools (M = 3.68), and limited institutional support (M = 3.45). Qualitative insights indicate a need for systematic training and collaborative environments. The findings emphasize that successful AI adoption relies on institutional investment in training and infrastructure. Without this support, the gap between enthusiasm and actual implementation may hinder AI's transformative potential. Policymakers and educational leaders need to create structured frameworks for effective AI integration in EFL classrooms.
The study aimed to evaluate disease knowledge, perceived susceptibility and compliance behaviors of post-kidney transplant patients as well as assess relationship between disease knowledge, perceived susceptibility and compliance behaviors. A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 153 post-kidney transplant patients from March to June 2024 at Outpatient Department of Cho Ray hospital. The result showed that the majority of respondents have a lack of knowledge regarding medication and lifestyle change post kidney transplantation. While perceived susceptibility of respondents were at a fair level. Majority of respondents has a low level of perception regarding barriers to adherence and susceptibility to transplant rejection, while they have a good level of perception regarding benefits of adherence to treatment with immunosuppressive medication. Compliance behavior of post kidney transplant adults was at a good level. Majority of respondents had good compliance behavior regarding medication, while exercise and psychological adaptation was the lowest level of compliance behavior. There are positive relationships between Compliance behaviors and disease knowledge (r = 0.49, p < 0.001); perceived susceptibility (r = 0.45, p < 0.001) and perceived susceptibility plays a partial mediating role between knowledge and compliance behaviors and the mediating effect accounted for 31% of the total effect of disease knowledge on compliance behavior. The study also indicated that educational level (ꞵ = 0.93, p = 0.020), duration of transplant (ꞵ = 0.20, p = 0.012) are predictive factors of compliance behavior among post – kidney transplant patients. Educational interventions targeting both knowledge and health beliefs, particularly for older individuals, could improve adherence to treatment and overall health outcomes.
Currently, to make human life more convenient and easier, many utility services have been provided. Among them, online food ordering applications with high coverage and diverse forms become prominent. This research aims to examine the factors influencing the intention of using online food ordering applications among students in Ho Chi Minh City. Using a multivariate linear regression model and the Ordinary Least Squares method (OLS), the research team analyzed primary data based on 120 valid survey sheets collected from students studying in HCMC. The research results indicate that there are seven factors influencing the intention to use (ITU) online food ordering applications, including: (1) Ease of use (EOU), (2) Convenience (CV), (3) Aesthetic appeal (AA), (4) Price expectations (PE), (5) Social influence (SI), (6) Perceived risk (PR), and (7) Habits (HB). Among them, the three factors with the greatest impact on the students’ intention are ease of use, aesthetic appeal, and social influence. Based on the test results, the study proposes a management implication to help food delivery service providers enhance service quality, suggest development directions, and make suitable strategies for potential target customers.

An effective teacher plays a crucial role in the process of learning English as a foreign language (EFL) when students’ opportunities to English exposure outside the classroom are limited. The aim of this study was to examine professional characteristics that an effective EFL teacher should have as perceived by Taiwanese university students. A four-section questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument, and the study sample included responses from 68 senior students majoring in EFL. The results show that the three most significant characteristics of an effective teacher of English in the eyes of Taiwanese university students are not related specifically to the teacher’s knowledge of the subject or English proficiency level. Those characteristics can be attributed to any teacher, and they include providing clear grading guidelines, giving clear explanations, and preparing each lesson well. The findings may contribute valid information on college students’ expectations of EFL teachers in the Asian educational context and help make the language learning process more effective.

This study investigated grammatical difficulties encountered by students of the People’s Police University while learning grammar in ESP courses. The design included questionnaires to teachers and students, and classroom participant observations. The findings indicated that the student respondents only perceived four target features to be difficult to learn. The results also showed that the students’ perceptions of grammatical difficulty were influenced by several factors including the inherent complexity of rules, L1 transfer, students’ differences in language aptitude, students’ infrequency of practice, and teaching methodology. The findings will hopefully be useful for teachers and researchers with an interest in this line of research.
