Spanning approximately ten years, the integration of Problem/Project-based Learning approach through three modules in the curriculum in all faculties at Duy Tan University has generally been perceived as beneficial to the undergraduates in a range of areas; this initiation has also driven a large number of researches which are concerned with the effectiveness of this student-centered approach. In the same direction, this study was aimed to contribute to this growing body of literature; it explored the key stake-holders’ perceptions of the benefits and challenges of implementing PBL in ESP classes at DTU. Data were obtained from the questionnaire distributed to the students from three faculties (N = 264) and the interviews with teachers of English from the Faculty of English (N = 4). The major findings indicated a generally positive attitude of the students to the benefits of PBL in all the areas investigated; most of these advantages were agreed on and justified by the lecturers interviewed. With respect to the challenges, the opinions of the two groups were similar in some and different in others. The qualitative data also suggested immediate measures so as to enhance the strengths of this approach.
Conversation - the verbal communication between people is indispensable in daily life. However, interlocutors cannot always understand all the utterances during their conversations because of some trouble sources causing communication breakdown. Repairing the trouble sources is neccessary for the interlocutors to get an effective conversation. With the aim of discovering the main grammatical structures and their parts of speech of other-repair in English, data for the investigation is 262 extracts of 23 English film conversations containing other-repair. The result shows that hearers (H) in English film conversations (EFCs) repaired 05 syntactic components such as noun, verb, adjective, clause, preposition.
The study aims to identify the influencing factors on adopting of accounting software in hotels in Da Nang, including perceived value, hotel readiness, cost, competitive pressure and risk of application. These factors are very important in determining the impact of the accounting software's adoption or the improvement of the software's better functionality. This study which included a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire, consisting of 20 items divided into 5 sections was designed. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed to professionals, managers and accountants in hotels in Da Nang city, one of the major cities of Vietnam, and the percentage of answer is 100%. The research results show that the variables of hotel availability, cost and competition pressure are statistically significant greatly influence on the adoption of accounting software. The contribution of the research is the basis for improvements in accounting software products that meet the hotel's requirements, from which the owner will agree to accept the use of such accounting software for an accountant’s work. Agreeing to accept the use of accounting software or upgrade the features of the accounting software will better meet the accounting's work, more in line with the current development and integration trend.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, there have been studies showing the impact of the disease on other respiratory diseases, leading to an impact on prevention and treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze data on disease patterns and hospital drug lists in order to have data as a basis for adjustment for the periods during and after the epidemic, and to meet the treatment needs that may change. Methods: In this study, we collected information from the drug supply, treatment activities, drug used and value. Drug categories and ABC analysis were used for drug formulary. ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision) classification was used to analyze disease pattern. Other supporting data on drug supply activities were also used, contributing to the findings. Results and discussion: The disease pattern represents the intensive professional activities of the respiratory hospital. The disease with the highest proportion is pulmonary tuberculosis. Another respiratory disease accounted for a large proportion is COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The results of drug formulary analysis indicated that the hospital has developed a reasonable drug list, consistent with the disease pattern before the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Low inventory value indicated that drug planning is close to reality. These data also suggested that further research on supportive regimens for COPD treatment in case of pulmonary disease occurrence, such as COVID-19 is required. Conclusion: This study provides pre-pandemic data to serve as the basis for future comparative studies and to identify further research directions in response to the periods during and after COVID-19. Research data also suggested the potential risks of stockpiling, inventory, as well as increasing the use of domestic drugs may be more proactive in drug supply.
Insulin therapy is the primary therapy in the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients. And is an additional therapy for patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), which is combined with Non-insulin drugs in order to be more effective in treatment [4]. Choosing the right type of insulin for each patient plays an important role in ensuring that the treatment is highly effective, minimizing the side effects caused by the drug and bringing many economic benefits to the patients. In order to compare the differences between two types of insulin currently available on the market, analogue insulin and human insulin in the treatment of T1D and T2D, this study used literature review method to collect and analysis information from documents, books, papers, researches conducted and published scientifically from 2010 to now with content related to Diabetes mellitus (DM) and insulin preparations. Results: For T1D patients, rapid-acting insulin analogues (RAIAs) were more effective in glycemic control and less hypoglycemic compared to regular insulin human (RHI). The prevalence of hypoglycemia in T1D patients, who are treated with basal insulin analogue, is relatively lower than medium-acting insulin (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn - NPH). In patients with T2D, the combination of basal analogue insulin with oral agents increases the likelihood of achieving target blood glucose (HbA1C ≤ 7%) and reduces the rate of hypoglycemia higher than NPH insulin [5]. Despite the cost of treatment is higher than human insulin, but analogue insulins are still recommended for treatment in T1D patients because of the effects and benefits it provides. For some patients who have difficulty in the cost of treatment, the use of human insulin or mixed insulins also helps the patient to achieve the glycemic goal.
Purpose: Analyze the list of medcines used at Ngu Hanh Son General Hospital in 2021 according to ABC/VEN analysis method.

Choosing the appropriate drug has been playing an important role in the treatment in hospitals. The survey of the process of selecting and developing a list of drugs aims to point out inadequacies, thereby taking timely solutions to increase the rational use of drugs. The objective of the study was to survey the process of selecting and developing a drug formulary of Da Nang Psychiatric Hospital (DNPH). Methods: Cross-sectional description through retrospective review of reports, books, invoices and documents related to drugs used at DNPH in 2021. Results: In 2021, DNPH conducts drug bidding through Da Nang Department of Health. Other forms that the hospital does not apply are open bidding, limited bidding, appointment of contractors, competitive offers and selfexecution. The list of drugs used at Danang Psychiatric Hospital in 2021 has 112 items. Chemical medications accounted for 94,64% of the category, with single-component chemical pharmaceuticals accounting for 85,71% and generic drugs accounting for 95,57%. Antipsychotic medications and pharmaceuticals acting on the nervous system are the most often used drugs, accounting for 20,54% of all drugs. Oral medications account for approximately 68,8% of total drug products, with injectable and infusion pharmaceuticals accounting for the remaining 20,8%. The hospital uses a large percentage of locally made medicines (65,2%). The hospital's medication list contains 5 special control medicines (4,46%). Conclusion: The Drug and Therapeutic Council at DNPH plays an important role in formulating the formulary. In 2021, the hospital only conducts drug bidding through the Da Nang Department of Health. API quantity used at DNPH in 2021 is 112, corresponding to 296 drugs. Antipsychotics and drugs acting on the nervous system were used the most (20,54%). Oral drugs, single-component drugs, generic drugs, and domestic drugs account for a large proportion of the hospital drug list in 2021.
