NẠN THAM NHŨNG VẶT Ở VIỆT NAM HIỆN NAYTham nhũng và đấu tranh phòng, chống tham nhũng luôn nhận được sự quan tâm đặc biệt của các quốc gia trên thế giới. Ở Việt Nam, tham nhũng vặt được nhận diện là một quốc nạn, một trong bốn nguy cơ làm suy giảm niềm tin của nhân dân vào Đảng, Nhà nước và chế độ xã hội chủ nghĩa; công tác phòng, chống tham nhũng được xác định là cuộc đấu tranh lâu dài, khó khăn và phức tạp1. Bài viết phân tích, đánh giá thực trạng và đưa ra một số giải pháp nhằm nâng cao hiệu quả công tác đấu tranh phòng, chống tham nhũng đặc biệt là nạn tham nhũng vặt trong thời gian tới.Tham nhũng vặt là hành vi “lạm dụng quyền lực được giao của các cán bộ, công chức cấp thấp và cấp trung gian trong tương tác hàng ngày với người dân, thường khi người dân có nhu cầu tiếp cận với hàng hóa hoặc các dịch vụ cơ bản như bệnh viện, trường học, cảnh sát và các cơ quan khác”2. Gọi là “vặt” nhưng đó là những hành vi vi phạm pháp luật, đều là tệ nạn xã hội, cần phải đấu tranh để xóa bỏ. Gọi là “vặt” nhưng hậu quả lại rất lớn. Sinh thời, Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh có thái độ hết sức nghiêm khắc đối với tệ nạn tham ô, lãng phí và bệnh quan liêu. Ngay từ buổi đầu thành lập, tham nhũng đã manh nha xuất hiện trong bộ máy chính quyền của Nhà nước kiểu mới3. Chống tham ô, lãng phí, chống bệnh quan liêu là mối quan tâm lớn, thường xuyên của Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh trong quá trình lãnh đạo cách mạng.Theo số liệu do Tổ chức Minh bạch thế giới (TI) công bố, Chỉ số cảm nhận tham nhũng (CPI) của Việt Nam trong những năm gần đây đã tăng lên, thể hiện một chỉ báo tích cực đối với các nỗ lực của Đảng và Nhà nước ta trong công tác phòng, chống tham nhũng (PCTN). Cụ thể, năm 2018, Việt Nam đạt 33/100 điểm, xếp hạng 117/180 toàn cầu. Trong năm 2018, Đảng và Nhà nước đã có nhiều nỗ lực đẩy mạnh công tác PCTN, điển hình là việc nhanh chóng, kiên quyết xử lý các vụ án tham nhũng lớn và hoàn thiện khuôn khổ pháp lý về PCTN. Chỉ số CPI của Việt Nam năm 2019 đạt 37/100 điểm, tăng 4 điểm so với năm 2018, đứng thứ 96/180 quốc gia, vùng lãnh thổ trong bảng xếp hạng toàn cầu, tăng 21 bậc so với năm 2018. Đây là mức điểm cao nhất mà Tổ chức Minh bạch thế giới đánh giá đối với Việt Nam và là năm có mức tăng điểm cao nhất từ trước đến nay; cũng là sự khẳng định những kết quả tích cực trong công tác PCTN ở Việt Nam4.

Lemoine's conjecture: A limited solution using computers
Authors: Dawar Naren
Published: July 2022

The paper provides a limited solution for Lemoine’s conjecture that includes morenumbers than previously found on record: 109. Lemoine’s conjecture, named aftermathematician Émile Lemoine, states that all odd integers greater than 5 can be represented as the sum of an odd prime number and an even semiprime1. Using Python & C++, both popular programming languages often used for automating tasks and general programming, this conjecture can be proved for all values that fall under the criteria up to 1010. The process of checking each number in Python utilizes math, a standard Python library, along with assisting functions, such as a prime number verification function. The C++ algorithm utilizes a separateset of libraries and contains its own function for prime numbers, along with the Python algorithm. An important note: numbers may have n numbers of solutions, but there is a general positive correlation between the number of solutions and the size of the number (p.g. 9). This correlation affected computer calculation speed during testing as numbers grew. Additional resources in the future could propose a final solution to this theory, including quantum computing. However, this program successfully proves that all odd integers greater than 5 & less than 1010 maintain Lemoine’s conjecture to be true.
Can integrity issues encountered by a publisher inform best practices at institutions? Reflections from the World Conference on Research Integrity 2022.
Authors: Aubert Bonn Noémie , Hooper Mark , Streeter Michael , Moylan Elizabeth
Published: July 2022

At the World Conference on Research Integrity in June 2022, we held a symposium session to discuss whether sharing information on research integrity and publishing ethics cases seen at a publisher could inform the training and support that researchers need from institutions. Here we reflect on the data and views presented and the discussion that followed. We recommend that all stakeholders involved in promoting research integrity pursue the following four goals to reshape research culture: adoption of a shared granular taxonomy that emphasises research quality; transparent reporting from publishers and institutions on the number and type of research integrity and publishing ethics cases seen annually; delivery of research integrity and publishing ethics training with emphasis on research quality; adoption of open research initiatives and the creation of healthy, inclusive and diverse work environments.
Employees’ support strategies for mental wellbeing during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic: Recommendations for employers in the UK workforce

Published: July 2022

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and beyond for many businesses, employees have had to adapt to new ways of working due to disruptions in traditional practices. It is therefore crucial to understand the new challenges that employees are facing when it comes to taking care of their mental wellbeing at work. To that end, we distributed a survey to full-time UK employees (N = 451) to explore how supported they felt throughout the pandemic, and to identify whether there are any additional types of support they would like to receive. We also compared employees’ intentions to seek help before versus during the COVID-19 pandemic, and assessed their current attitudes toward mental health. Based on direct employee feedback, our results show remote workers felt more supported throughout the pandemic compared to hybrid workers. We also found that employees who had previously experienced an episode of anxiety or depression were significantly more likely to want extra support at work compared to those who had not. Furthermore, employees were significantly more likely to seek help for their mental health during the pandemic compared to before. Interestingly, the largest increase in intentions to seek help during the pandemic compared to before was with digital health solutions. Finally, we found that the strategies managers have adopted to better support their employees, an employee's mental health history, and their attitude to mental health all contributed to significantly increasing the likelihood that an employee would disclose a mental health concern to their line manager. We provide recommendations that encourage organisations to make changes to better support their employees, and we highlight the importance of mental health awareness training for both managers and employees. This work is of particular interest to organisations who are looking to tailor their current employee wellbeing offer to a post-pandemic world.
Name that state: How language affects human reinforcement learning
Authors: Radulescu Angela , Vong Wai Keen , Gureckis Todd Matthew
Published: July 2022

We describe two experiments designed to test whether the ease with which people can label features of the environment influences human reinforcement learning. The first experiment presents evidence that people are more efficient at learning to discern relevant features of a task when candidate features are easier to name. The second experiment shows that learning what action to take in a given state is easier when states have more readily nameable verbal labels, an effect that was especially pronounced in environments with more states. The interaction between CLIP, a state-of-the-art AI model trained to map images to natural language concepts, and established hu- man RL algorithms captures the key effects without the need to specify condition-specific parameters. These results suggest a possible role for language information in how humans represent the environment when learning from trial and error.
Narrating the “what” and “why” of our moral actions
Authors: Kim Judy Sein , Crockett Molly
Published: July 2022

To defend or burnish our moral reputation, we often tell moral narratives. Moral narratives describe morally relevant actions and explanations of those actions, detailing how people acted and why they did so. When and why does communication about moral events include descriptions of peoples’ actions and explanations? We hypothesize that informational, reputational, and presentational goals of narrators shape whether their communication contains clear actions and explanations. We asked a group of “narrators” to communicate with other people following a moral decision. Another group of “audience” members judged them based on their chosen statement. We find that the informational and reputational goals of narrators can explain what information they decide to reveal. Narrators choose what to say based on inferring the audience’s likely perceptions but underestimate how much audiences in fact expect answers to “what” and “why”. Audiences, however, do not always perceive the lack of expected information as indicative of deceit.
Reliable Affordances: A Generative Modeling Approach for Test-Retest Reliability of the Affordances Task
Authors: Littman Ran , Hochman Shachar , Kalanthroff Eyal
Published: July 2022

The affordances task serves as an important tool for the assessment of cognition and visuomotor functioning, and yet its test-retest reliability has not been established. In the affordances task participants attend to a goal-directed task (e.g., classifying manipulable objects such as cups and pots) while suppressing their stimulus-driven, irrelevant reactions afforded by these objects (e.g., grasping their handles). This results in cognitive conflicts manifesting at the task level and the response level. In the current study, we assessed the reliability of the affordances task for the first time. While doing so, we referred to the ‘reliability paradox’, according to which behavioral tasks that produce highly replicable group-level effects often yield low test-retest reliability due to the inadequacy of traditional correlation methods in capturing individual differences between participants. Alongside the simple test-retest correlations, we employed a Bayesian generative model that was recently demonstrated to result in a superior, more precise estimation of test-retest reliability. Two-hundred and nighty-five participants completed an online version of the affordances task twice with a one-week gap. Performance on the online version replicated results obtained under in-lab administrations of the task. While the simple correlation method resulted in weak test-retest measures of the different effects, the generative model yielded a good reliability assessment. The current results support the utility of the affordances task as a reliable behavioral tool for the assessment of group level and individual differences in cognitive and visuomotor functioning. The results further support the employment of generative modeling in the study of individual differences.
"When I Hit You" - Reading Through a Psychological Lens
Authors: Roy Mohona
Published: July 2022

A book, particularly one that is well-written, proves to become a voice, representing itself and many others with whom it resonates. Such a voice becomes capable of bringing forth narratives and perspectives that may be unheard of or that may be known to many and yet not recognised in the midst of the power dynamics of society. This article attempts to unravel the psychological underpinnings of interpersonal violence through a reading and analysis of Meena Kandasamy’s powerful and seminal book - “When I Hit You”. The analysis is done in view of the prevalent socio-political context at the time the book was released in order to better understand the contextual realities of its location. The story revolves around the protagonist and her abusive relationship and the journey of struggle and resilience in coming out of it. This article is geared towards an analysis of the behavioural and psychological traits of the characters. In doing so it tries to gain a deeper understanding of the manner in which interpersonal violence takes place, its psychological underpinnings as well as consequences and the critical role of social factors in the genesis of violence.

Authors: Sapkota B. , Regmi R. , Thapa R.B. , Tiwari S.
Published: July 2022

Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) is an important pest of crucifer crops. It greatly reduced both yield and crop quality on cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). The field study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of two trap plants: Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), and Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) from November 2018 to March 2019 in Chitwan, Nepal. Diamondback moths’ population were similar in trap plants but was significantly lower as compared to the control plot. Diamondback moth larvae population was lower during early vegetative growth stages whereas trapping efficacy of trap crops were gradually reduced with the development of maturity in trap plants. The lowest damage of wrapper leaves were obtained in Indian mustard deployed trap plant followed by buckwheat trap plant and control respectively; however, the yield was similar in all treatments. In addition, natural enemies were observed higher in traps crops deployed plots compared to the control plots. Therefore, trap plants can be used as an alternative sustainable pest management tool to manage diamondback moth as well as increase the abundance of natural enemies.

Magnitude and pattern of combination traumatic dental injuries: An institution based retrospective study in Nepal
Authors: Chaudhary Sanjeeb
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Traumatic dental injuries can occur as combination injuries, where both fracture and luxation injuries occur concomitantly in the same tooth. The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of concomitant fracture and luxation injury (combination dental injuries) in permanent teeth.
Methods: A total of 455 traumatized anterior teeth from 175 patients (131 males and 44 females; age ranged from 14 to 70 years), coming for treatment of traumatic dental injuries over a five-year period from January 2016 to December 2020 were included in the study. Patient’s age and sex, type of injury, type and number of injured teeth were recorded from the clinical and radiographic examination records. Descriptive statistical methods were used for data analysis.
Results: A total of 257 teeth (56.48%) had fracture injury only, while 150 teeth (32.96%) were found to have luxation injury only. The most common isolated fracture injury was enamel-dentin fracture (n=93; 22.85%) and the most common isolated luxation injury was subluxation (n=77; 18.91%). A low prevalence of combination injury was observed in 48 teeth (10.54%). Enamel-dentin fracture (52.08%) was the most common fracture injury type presenting with a concomitant luxation injury. Similarly, the most frequent luxation injury type presenting with a concomitant crown fracture injury was subluxation (56.25%). The most common combination injury was enamel-dentin fracture in combination with subluxation injury (n=15; 31.25%).
Conclusions: The magnitude of combination injury was low in this study and was frequently observed in males of young age groups. The most common combination injury was enamel-dentin fracture in combination with subluxation injury.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 245 adults of Pokhara, Lekhnath Metropolitan Ward No. 27 using convenient sampling method. The questionnaire was adopted from the step 2 (physical measurements) section of the WHO STEPS instrument.
Results: Among 245 subjects, almost half (48.5%) of the subjects had normal body mass index. One-fourth (25%) of the subjects were overweight. About 60 percent of the respondents had normal systolic blood pressure. There were no significant positive correlations of body mass index with both systolic BP, diastolic BP and age. However, significant positive correlation was found between age and systolic BP.
Conclusions: The study finding concluded that there are no significant positive correlations of body mass index with both systolic BP, diastolic BP and age. However, age and systolic BP has significant positive correlation. Therefore, with increase in age, regular monitoring of BP is required.
An FPTAS for Quickest Multi-commodity Contraflow Problem with Asymmetric Transit Times
Authors: Gupta Shiva Prakash , Dhamala Tanka Nath
Published: July 2022

One of the challenges in operations research is to route numerous commodities from particular supply locations to the corresponding demand points across the lanes of a network infrastructure while maintaining capacity restrictions. The quickest multi-commodity flow problem would be one of those that reduces the time it takes to complete the process. Reorienting lanes toward demand sites can increase outbound lane capacity. The quickest multi-commodity contraflow problem is NP-hard computationally. We use a ∆-condensed time-expanded graph to propose an FPTAS for this problem by including the lane reversal technique. We look into asymmetric transit times on anti-parallel arcs to address the unequal road conditions and flow dependency.

Published: July 2022

In this era of technology and information proliferating, programming skills are needed. Technology affects every area of life from industry, business, communication, transportation, health, and others. Everyone has the same opportunity to learn and master technology thus programming language courses are needed to provide education, innovation, and improvement of skills and abilities in the field of programming and data science to the public. Until now, programming language courses still use the conventional system, where everything is done manually, from class registration, class scheduling, teaching and learning process, and payment processing which results in many archives that must be stored for administrative purposes and require a relatively large amount of time for customers to come to the course location. Therefore, an information technology-based system is needed to fix the weaknesses of the old system. In this study, an Android-based programming language course application is designed to facilitate customers and course owners in teaching and learning activities and transactions. The design in this study uses the waterfall method, which consists of five stages, needs analysis, design, code, testing, and maintenance. The results obtained from testing applications using questionnaires on programming language course applications are 80% stated by course customers, where the application is easy to use, faster, and more practical in registering. In conclusion, this designed application can make it easier for customers to carry out teaching and learning activities and transact quickly and practically.

Broadband Channel Based on Polar Codes At 2.3 GHz Frequency for 5G Networks in Digitalization Era
Authors: Ni'amah Khoirun , Wahyuningrum Reni Dyah , Larasati Solichah
Published: July 2022

This research using a polar code and without polar codes -based broadband channel that is affected by human blockage using one of the 5G cellular network frequencies at 2.3 GHz, 99 MHz bandwidth, 128 blocks of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with Cyclic prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing ( CP-OFDM) and Binary Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation. The use of high frequencies causes the technology to be sensitive to the surrounding environment and attenuation such as human blockage. The purpose of this research is to determine the performance results and analyze the BER parameters that use polar codes and without polar codes on 5G network broadband channels that are affected by human blockage. Broadband channel modeling on a 5G network is presented in a representative Power Delay Profile (PDP) with the influence of human blockage, which is obtained as many as 41 paths which have multiple delays of 10 ns on each path. This research also uses the scaling method on representative PDP because the use of FFT will produce 128 blocks, and the results of this scaling show that there are 9 lanes with multiple delays of 50 ns. The results of this study are close to the average Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10-4. BER performance without polar code is affected by human blockage requires Signal to Noise (SNR) of 30 dB, for theory BER on BPSK modulation requires SNR of 34.5 dB and BER performance using polar code only requires SNR of 23 dB. These results indicate that using a polar code can reduce or save power usage by 7 dB without a polar codes. Polar codes can minimize errors in the 5G network system, because polar codes are one of the strong codes and are one of the channel coding recommended by ITU to be applied to 5G network systems

Objective: Gene variations in the gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) may impact the initiation of coronary heart disease (CHD). Insufficient production of nitric oxide (NO) is the most obvious cause of endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate polymorphisms in the eNOS genes G894T and T786C that influence the development of CHD.Material and Methods: A total of 91 angiographically proven CHD subjects at the Department of Cardiology and Medicine and 91 controls at master health check, in the age group of 30-45 years were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. After overnight fasting blood samples were collected for evaluation of lipid profile by using Auto analyzer AU 480 and NO by Griess reaction, using Enzyme linked Immunosorbent assay. Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymerization were used to amplify the eNOS gene, T786C, and G894T, respectively.Results: A significant decrease in the serum level of NO was observed in CHD subjects compared to controls. In eNOS T786C polymorphism, the distribution of TC genotype (p-value=0.017) odds ratio (OR)=2.1 and minor C allele frequency (p-value=0.001). Additionally, for eNOS G894T polymorphism, the distribution of GT genotype (p-value=0.014) OR=2.03 and minor T allele frequency (p-value=0.001).Conclusion: This study concludes that polymorphisms of the eNOS genes G894T and T786C could increase the risk of CHD.
