A prospective, open-label, randomized, active control, parallel-group trial on the efficacy of Darvyadi Leha in iron deficiency anemia of children: Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Rai Deepshikha , Garg Girraj P
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND:

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a major health problem among children in India. Due to the adverse effects of oral iron supplementation, there is a need to find an alternative therapeutic option for IDA, which is safe, tolerable, with comparable efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:

This clinical study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of Darvyadi Leha in IDA of children compared with ferrous ascorbate.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This prospective, open-label, randomized, active control, parallel-group trial will be conducted at Uttarakhand Ayurved University, Gurukul Campus, Haridwar. A total of 76 participants will be enrolled in the study. Patients of any gender aged 3–12 years with IDA, having hemoglobin 7.5–11 g/dL and serum ferritin less than 15 mcg/dL will be considered for enrollment in the study. The enrolled participants will be given a tablet of Albendazole 400-mg single dose for deworming. Thereafter, they will be randomly divided into two groups. Patients of Group A will be administered Darvyadi Leha 4, 7, 9, and 12 g/day in two equally divided doses for age groups 3–5, 5–8, 8–10, and 10–12 years, respectively, for 90 days. Patients of group B will be administered ferrous ascorbate 4 mg/kg/day twice daily for 90 days. The outcome measures are changes in hemoglobin level, ferritin level, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and reticulocyte count. Patients will also be assessed for graded subjective parameters on each visit. Safety will be assessed based on the incidence of adverse events, and changes in liver and kidney function tests.

DISCUSSION:

Ayurveda formulations have been used for the management of anemia in routine clinical practice for adults. Further, several research studies have also been conducted regarding the same. However, the use of Ayurveda interventions in anemia of children is less common, and a few randomized controlled studies on anemia of children have been conducted. So, it is expected that the outcomes of this trial will suggest probable therapeutic options for the effective management of IDA of children.

Effect of Ayurvedic Medicines in the Management of Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis
Authors: Padhi Madan M. , Panigrahi Hemanta K. , Lavekar Gandhidas S.
Published: September 2023

This case report presents the treatment outcome of a 9-year-old diagnosed case of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). The patient has suffered recurrent severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation for the past 3 years. The high amylase and lipase levels in the serum, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography findings confirmed the diagnosis of ARP. The patient regularly took allopathic medicines, yet she had recurrent abdominal pain episodes that required hospitalization. The patient was treated with Ayurveda medicines, including Kamadudha Rasa (Mukta Yukta), Agnitundi Vati (twice daily before meals), and Nityam tablet at bedtime for 3 weeks. In the third week, the treatment was modified by replacing Agnitundi Vati with Kravyad Rasa and Kankayana Vati. The 8-month continued therapy resulted in complete clinical recovery. No adverse reactions or untoward effects due to Ayurveda interventions were reported during the treatment. There was no recurrence after a 90-day follow-up. Based on the results obtained in this case study, a clinical trial on Ayurvedic management of ARP may be planned to prove the efficacy of Ayurveda treatment regimen in treating ARP empirically.

Authors: Suhail Mohd , Yadav Pramod R. , Prajapati Pradeep Kumar
Published: September 2023

Albuminuria is one of the most typical symptoms when there are derangements in the kidney functions, which may damage the kidney’s functional units, that is, nephrons. This study presents a case of a patient suffering from albuminuria who was diagnosed with crossed renal ectopia, that is, fused right kidney to the left side. A 61-year-old male patients suffered from generalized body weakness, proteinuria, disturbed sleep, and dysuria. Because of dysuria, the patient needed catheterization every fortnight. The patient had no history of addiction to smoking and alcohol. The patient had no history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or systemic disease except pulmonary tuberculosis 30 years back. The kidney function test, urine routine, and microscopy examination revealed albuminuria, the presence of bacteria, and elevated serum uric acid level. Crossed renal ectopia was diagnosed through a computed tomography examination. From an Ayurveda perspective, the diagnosis of Kaphaja Meha was based on the patient’s complaints, such as increased frequency of micturition and hazy/turbid urine. The treatment plan was made according to the management of Kaphaja Meha. Chandraprabha Vati, Punarnava Asava, Punarnava capsule, and SG syrup—an Ayurvedic formulation, were prescribed along with the dietary regimen. Follow-up was done seven times within 9 months. The medications and dose were altered according to the patient’s condition. The patient’s condition improved symptomatically. After the Ayurvedic intervention for 9 months and 23 days, albumin was absent in urine; serum uric acid became 4.90 mg/dL, and the glomerular filtration rate increased to 88/mL/min/1.73 m2. The patient had normal urination without needing catheterization. The case study results indicate that Ayurveda interventions can manage albuminuria and dysuria in patients with crossed renal ectopia.

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND:

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved as a unique, unprecedented global health crisis that has severely affected the economies and daily lives of people. AYUSH 64 is an Ayurveda formulation repurposed in the COVID-19 management because of its proven efficacy in influenza-like illness.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, pilot study conducted at Ayurveda and Unani Tibbia College (A&U Tibbia) and Hospital, designated COVID-19 health center under the Government of National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. The study population included 40 asymptomatic to mild COVID-19 cases of either sex aged above 18 years admitted to the hospital with positive nasopharyngeal swab test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]) or rapid antigen test. AYUSH 64 tablets in the dose of two tablets (500 mg each) thrice a day after food with warm water were given to the participants for the period of 7–14 days, and once the patient got RT-PCR negative, the medicine was discontinued.

RESULTS:

Out of 36 completed cases, 28 participants were symptomatic, 39.28% of participants clinically recovered in 7 days of AYUSH 64 intervention, and 53.5% of participants clinically recovered in 14 days. The mean time for clinical recovery was 7.04 days (±2.88 days standard deviation). No adverse drug reaction was found in any of the participants. Serious adverse event unrelated to the trial drug was reported in two participants (5%) within 24 h of enrolment.

CONCLUSION:

Among asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 cases, the repurposing of AYUSH 64 was found effective and quite safe to alleviate infection with a significant clinical recovery within 14 days. Subsequent research on a larger scale is warranted for statistically robust evidences in the treatment of COVID-19.
Late-Onset Myasthenia Gravis
Authors: Tireli Hulya , Yuksel Gulbun , Tutkavul Kemal
Published: September 2023

Objective:

The increase in the average life expectancy of humans has resulted in an increased occurrence of late-onset myasthenia gravis (LOMG). It is noticeable that the clinical, immunologic, and prognostic features of patients with LOMG are different than those of the patients with early-onset myasthenia gravis (EOMG). The present study aimed to establish the dissimilar features of patients with EOMG and LOMG.

Subjects and Methods:

The study retrospectively compared 93 patients with EOMG and LOMG in terms of clinical and immunologic features and response to medical treatment and thymectomy.

Results:

Of the 93 patients with MG, 56 had EOMG and 37 had LOMG. The EOMG group was dominated by female patients and generalized MG, whereas male patients and ocular MG were predominant in the LOMG group. Both groups tested positive for acetyl choline receptors antibodies. The number of patients undergoing thymectomy was higher in the EOMG group than in LOMG group. Responses to thymectomy and immunosuppressive treatment in LOMG group were lower compared with the EOMG group.

Conclusion:

The present study concludes that the clinical prognosis of patients with LOMG is better, and thymectomy may not be quite necessary for patients in this group who do not have thymomas (nonthymomatous patients).
Physical activity and sedentary time distribution among adult residents during COVID-19 circuit breaker movement restrictions in Singapore: a public health perspective
Authors: Mukherjee Swarup , Tan Kang Jin
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

Social lockdowns and quarantines have been enforced in various populations to mitigate the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the community. This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 lockdown, known as circuit breaker movement restrictions (CBMR), on physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) distribution patterns among Singapore residents aged 21–65 years.

Methods:

This was a cross-sectional retrospective study that utilised a 44-item questionnaire that included sections to determine PA and ST distribution patterns before and during CBMR. It also included information on sleep duration, PA preference and routine, awareness of local initiatives and perceptions on barriers towards PA during the CBMR period.

Results:

There was an overall decrease in PA and a significant increase in physical inactivity and ST during the CBMR period. A greater proportion of participants reported sleeping for longer hours, suggesting positive adaptations in sleep habits during CBMR. Majority were unaware of online exercise initiatives and programmes offered during the CBMR period, and >50% of the respondents never used an online resource for exercise. Singapore residents seemed to prefer outdoor and facility-based venues for exercise and PA, and closure of facilities was the primary barrier for PA during the CBMR period.

Conclusion:

Reduced PA and increased ST during CBMR reflect negative lifestyle adaptations and may have adverse public health implications. Increased sleep duration suggests successful coping, which may consequently lead to physical and mental health benefits. While Singapore adult residents may be flexible with certain aspects of being physically active, they seemed less adaptive to changes in type of exercise, facility and environment.
Real Time Lung Cancer Classification with YOLOv5
Authors: Makhdoomi Shaif Mehraj , Khosla Cherry , Pande Sagar Dhanaraj
Published: September 2023

Cancer must be appropriately categorized for effective diagnosis and treatment. Deep learning algorithms have shown tremendous promise in recent years for automating cancer classification. We used the deep learning system YOLOv5 to classify the four types of lung cancer in this study: big cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, normal lung tissue, and squamous cell carcinoma. We trained the YOLOv5 model using a publicly available database of lung cancer pictures. The dataset was divided into four categories: big cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, normal lung tissue, and squamous cell cancer. In addition, we compared YOLOv5's performance to older models such as SVM, RF, ANN, and CNN. The comparison found that YOLOv5 outperformed all these models, indicating its potential for the development of more accurate and efficient autonomous cancer classification systems. Conclusions from the research have important implications for cancer identification and therapy. Automatic cancer classification systems have the potential to increase the accuracy and efficacy of cancer detection, perhaps leading to better patient outcomes. The accuracy and speed of these systems can be enhanced by using deep learning techniques like YOLOv5, making them more effective for clinical applications. Our study's findings demonstrated high accuracy for every class, with a total accuracy of 97.77%. With the aid of accuracy, train loss, and test loss graphs, we assessed the model's performance. The graphs demonstrated how the model was able to gain knowledge from the data and increase its accuracy as it was being trained. The study's findings were also compiled in a table that gave a thorough assessment of each class's accuracy.

Fake News Detection in Low Resource Languages using SetFit Framework
Authors: Abdedaiem Amin , Dahou Abdelhalim Hafedh , Cheragui Mohamed Amine
Published: September 2023

Social media has become an integral part of people’s lives, resulting in a constant flow of information. However, a concerning trend has emerged with the rapid spread of fake news, attributed to the lack of verification mechanisms. Fake news has far-reaching consequences, influencing public opinion, disrupting democracy, fuelingsocial tensions, and impacting various domains such as health, environment, and the economy. In order to identify fake news with data sparsity, especially with low resources languages such as Arabic and its dialects, we propose a few-shot learning fake news detection model based on sentence transformer fine-tuning, utilizing no crafted prompts and language model with few parameters. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can achieve higher performances with fewer news samples. This approach provided 71% F1 score on the Algerian dialect fake news dataset and 70% F1 score on the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) version of the same dataset, which proves that the approach can work on the standard Arabic and its dialects. Therefore, the proposed model can identify fake news in several domains concerning the Algerian community such as politics, COVID-19, tourism, e-commerce, sport, accidents, and car prices.
Finding fault in a shear zone: a magnetic and drill core study in the Valentine Lake Property, Newfoundland, Canada
Authors: Flanagan Marie , Leitch Alison , Wall Adam
Published: September 2023

The Valentine Lake Property in southwestern Newfoundland has five known gold deposits over a distance of 20 km along a northeast to southwest trend and is expected to be the future site for the largest gold mine in Atlantic Canada. The property contains structurally controlled orogenic-type quartz-tourmaline-pyrite veins, which are gold-bearing, occurring along or proximal to the Valentine Lake Shear Zone. The mineralization is found mostly on the northwest side of the shear zone in intrusive rocks and is rare in the conglomerate on the southeast side. The area has many mafic dykes, which show up well when conducting a magnetic survey due to their magnetite content. These dykes, like the mineralization, occur mainly in the intrusive rocks and trend predominantly subparallel to the shear zone, and so can help indicate structure. To constrain the location of the shear zone (and hence the mineralized region) in an area where an offset was suspected, a detailed magnetic survey was conducted over a 200 m x 300 m grid comprising sixteen lines. With the collected data, residual magnetic intensity maps were created and processed. A region was identified where the pattern of linear magnetic highs weaken and appear to terminate near the suspected offset. In combination with drill core information, this location is interpreted as a fault offset of the shear zone. The loss in magnetic intensity is possibly due to alteration or thinning of the mafic dykes near the fault.

Topological analysis of pseudo-Euclidean Euler top for special values of the parameters
Authors: Altuev Murat Kazievich , Kibkalo Vladislav Alexandrovich
Published: September 2023

An analogue of the Euler top is considered for a pseudo-Euclidean space is under consideration. In the cases when the geometric integral or area integral vanishes the bifurcation diagrams of the moment map are constructed and the homeomorphism class of each leaf of the Liouville foliation is determined. For each arc of the bifurcation diagram, for one of the two possible cases of the mutual arrangement of the moments of inertia, the types of singularities in the preimage of a small neighbourhood of this arc (analogues of Fomenko 3-atoms) are determined, and for nonsingular isoenergy and isointegral surfaces an invariant of rough Liouville equivalence (an analogue of a rough molecule) is constructed. The pseudo-Euclidean Euler system turns out to have noncompact noncritical bifurcations.

Bernstein-Szegő inequality for the Riesz derivative of trigonometric polynomials in $L_p$-spaces, $0\leqslant p\leqslant\infty$, with classical value of the sharp constant
Authors: Leont'eva Anastasiya Olegovna
Published: September 2023

The Bernstein-Szegő inequality for the Weyl derivative of real order $\alpha\geqslant 0$ of trigonometric polynomials of degree $n$ is considered. The aim is to find values of the parameters for which the sharp constant in this inequality is equal to $n^\alpha$ (the classical value) in all $L_p$-spaces, $0\leqslant p\leqslant\infty$. The set of all such $\alpha$ is described for some important particular cases of the Weyl-Szegő derivative, namely, for the Riesz derivative and for the conjugate Riesz derivative, for all $n\in\mathbb N$.

Climate violence and the word
Authors: Rogers Nicole
Published: September 2023

The climate crisis is here presented as an assemblage of synergistic violences, including lethal violence to human and nonhuman bodies, violence to territories, and the violence of legal and extra-legal words. I extrapolate from Robert Cover’s thesis on the relationship between legal words and violence and focus upon the interplay between words and climate violence and, in particular, on the paucity of existing terminology and framings in relation to this phenomenon. Despite findings in some civil climate lawsuits that a continuing failure to mitigate on the part of nations of the Global North will violate the right to life, the terminology of murder is not widely adopted and no prosecutions have ensued. Similarly, the severity of inter-State territorial violence, as a consequence of a failure to mitigate and historical and ongoing emissions on the part of developed nations, is downplayed in international law through the strategic deployment of framings such as ‘disappearing States’, security threats, and ‘loss and damage’. Finally, the climate crisis is entangled with the violence of law. Yet law’s violence, rather than targeting corporate and State perpetrators of climate violence, is directed against non-violent climate activists who are portrayed as terrorists. I explore underlying reasons for this. Viewing climate change as a material manifestation of intersecting forms of violence reveals law’s complicities and limitations, and highlights the importance of narrative framings and language in understanding and addressing the climate crisis.
Expanding NGOs’ standing: climate justice through access to the European Court of Human Rights
Authors: Keller Helen , Gurash Viktoriya
Published: September 2023

Due to the nature of environmental litigation, expanding the standing of actors that could bring claims to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) – such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – has become a pressing need. This article explores the current approach to NGOs’ standing to bring environment-related claims before the ECtHR. In particular, by drawing on the Aarhus Convention, the article explores NGOs’ important role before the ECtHR given their recognized right to environmental information, as well as their role in upholding the right to a fair trial at national level. In conclusion, it is argued that NGOs should be given a more prominent role in environmental cases and that the dichotomy between the case law regarding NGOs’ standing in claims under Articles 2, 3 and 8 on the one hand, and Articles 6 and 10 on the other, is outdated.

Khủng hoảng nói chung, khủng hoảng COVID-19 nói riêng làm thay đổi hành vi tiêu dùng của người dân. Sự thay đổi này là do nhiều yếu tố tác động và kết quả của nó có mặt tiêu cực nhưng cũng có mặt tích cực. Với cỡ mẫu 248, nghiên cứu đã đo lường mức độ ảnh hưởng của 05 yếu tố đến sự thay đổi hành vi tiêu dùng trong đại dịch của người dân tỉnh Quảng Ngãi. Mức độ ảnh hưởng của 05 yếu tố lần lượt là Sự sụt giảm thu nhập với beta 0,333, Giãn cách xã hội với 0,280, Sự quan tâm đến sức khỏe là 0,259, Sự thích ứng với mua sắm trực tuyến là 0,205 và cuối cùng là Sự thiếu hụt nguồn hàng với bêta bằng 0,191. Trên cơ sở đó, 05 khuyến nghị cho người dân và chính quyền tỉnh Quảng Ngãi nhằm hạn chế mặt tiêu cực và phát huy mặt tích cực của sự thay đổi hành vi tiêu dùng đã được đề xuất. Các khuyến nghị này mang tính phổ quát, vì vậy không những có ý nghĩa trong khủng hoảng đại dịch COVID-19 mà còn cho cả trong các cuộc khủng hoảng khác có thể xảy ra như chiến tranh, thiên tai, mất mùa...

Sự bùng nổ của công nghệ kỹ thuật số đã làm thay đổi hoạt động của nhiều loại hình kinh doanh và ngành công nghiệp khác nhau. Dịch vụ kiểm toán, đảm nhiệm việc đánh giá sự tuân thủ luật pháp, chính sách, chế độ tài chính – kế toán và hiệu quả hoạt động của các doanh nghiệp và tổ chức, cũng phải thực hiện các hoạt động nghề nghiệp ngày càng phức tạp. Trong bối cảnh đó, các kỹ thuật kiểm toán có sự hỗ trợ của máy tính (CAAT) cung cấp cho kiểm toán viên nhiều lợi thế để thực hiện nhiệm vụ một cách hiệu quả. Mục đích chính của nghiên cứu này là xác định và xây dựng mô hình nghiên cứu phù hợp với đặc điểm của Việt Nam, đo lường các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến việc chấp nhận hoặc áp dụng CAAT trong kiểm toán báo cáo tài chính. Các tác giả đã sử dụng phương pháp nghiên cứu hỗn hợp: phương pháp định tính (thu thập tài liệu, phỏng vấn chuyên gia) được sử dụng để xây dựng mô hình nghiên cứu và bảng câu hỏi; phương pháp định lượng (thống kê mô tả, phân tích nhân tố khám phá, phân tích tương quan và phân tích hồi quy) được sử dụng để kiểm chứng mức độ ảnh hưởng của các nhân tố trong mô hình. Dữ liệu được thu thập thông qua quá trình khảo sát các kiểm toán viên độc lập tại Việt Nam. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy ý định chấp nhận sử dụng CAAT của kiểm toán viên bị ảnh hưởng bởi các yếu tố về hiệu suất kỳ vọng, nỗ lực kỳ vọng, ảnh hưởng xã hội và các điều kiện thuận lợi.

Bài viết này nghiên cứu mối quan hệ giữa đại dịch COVID-19, rủi ro và hiệu quả của các ngân hàng thương mại Việt Nam (NHTMVN) trong giai đoạn 2009-2021. Nghiên cứu bao gồm ba giai đoạn: (i) Đo lường COVID-19 bằng cách sử dụng biến giả về thời gian xảy ra đại dịch, đo lường rủi ro và hiệu quả của các NHTMVN qua cách tiếp cận Z-score và phân tích bao dữ liệu (Data Envelopment Approach - DEA); (ii) Áp dụng mô hình Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) để kiểm định tác động của đại dịch COVID-19 đến rủi ro và hiệu quả của các NHTMVN; (iii) Áp dụng mô hình Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) và kỹ thuật Granger để kiểm định mối quan hệ nhân quả giữa rủi ro và hiệu quả của các NHTMVN. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy đại dịch COVID-19 có tác động cùng chiều đến rủi ro và tác động ngược chiều đến hiệu quả của các NHTMVN. Ngoài ra, các biến kiểm soát gồm khả năng sinh lời, tỷ lệ an toàn vốn tối thiểu, nợ xấu, qui mô ngân hàng, vốn chủ sở hữu/tổng tài sản, sở hữu nhà nước, sở hữu nước ngoài, tăng trưởng tín dụng, thu nhập ngoài lãi, khả năng thanh khoản, tăng trưởng kinh tế, lạm phát, lãi suất đều có tác động mạnh mẽ đến rủi ro và hiệu quả của các NHTMVN. Thêm vào đó, nghiên cứu cũng tìm thấy bằng chứng về mối quan hệ nhân quả hai chiều giữa rủi ro và hiệu quả của các NHTMVN. Những phát hiện này có ý nghĩa quan trọng đối với các nhà quản trị ngân hàng và nhà hoạch định chính sách trong bối cảnh đại dịch COVID-19.

Nghiên cứu đo lường mức độ ảnh hưởng của trải nghiệm học tập đối với các kết quả sinh viên đạt được trong năm học đầu tiên tại trường Đại học Công nghiệp TP. HCM (IUH). Đây là một chủ đề còn tương đối mới trong các nghiên cứu về giáo dục đại học Việt Nam. Dữ liệu thu được từ phiếu trả lời khảo sát của 898 sinh viên năm thứ nhất trường IUH cho thấy trải nghiệm học tập, xét tổng thể, có ảnh hưởng tích cực đối với kết quả sinh viên đạt được bao gồm sự phát triển về kiến thức, kỹ năng, nhân cách; điểm số; sự hài lòng và sự gắn bó với Nhà trường của sinh viên năm nhất IUH. Các yếu tố có ảnh hưởng nhiều đến kết quả nhất bao gồm nỗ lực học tập của sinh viên, sự hỗ trợ của Nhà trường dành cho sinh viên trong học tập và đời sống, chất lượng các mối quan hệ của sinh viên với những thành viên khác của trường. Các yếu tố còn lại, trừ “Hoạt động nhóm”, đều có ảnh hưởng với ít nhất một kết quả. Tuy nhiên, tương tác giữa giảng viên và sinh viên lại có ảnh hưởng tiêu cực với sự hài lòng của sinh viên.

Để nâng cao kiến thức, kỹ năng, trình độ cho sinh viên thì ngoài những yếu tố giáo dục, đào tạo từ nhà trường, sinh viên phải phát huy tinh thần tự giác trong học tập. Hiện nay, bên cạnh những sinh viên chủ động, tích cực nâng cao năng lực cho bản thân thì không ít sinh viên học tập đối phó, qua loa, đặc biệt là đối với các môn nặng lý thuyết hàn lâm, có tính trừu tượng và khái quát hóa cao như các môn Lý luận chính trị (LLCT). Để nâng cao năng lực tự học các môn LLCT cho sinh viên, góp phần nâng cao chất lượng giáo dục, đào tạo cho Nhà trường, bài báo khảo sát 420 sinh viên đang theo học tại Trường để lấy số liệu phân tích, từ đó đề xuất 3 biện pháp cơ bản, đó là tăng cường sự nỗ lực của bản thân sinh viên; giảng viên tác động đến năng lực tự học của sinh viên và nhà trường cung cấp cơ sở vật chất, trang thiết bị phục vụ học tập nhằm nâng cao năng lực tự học các môn LLCT cho sinh viên tại Trường Đại học Công nghiệp Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (ĐHCNTPHCM) hiện nay.

Facebook là một trong những mạng xã hội lớn nhất hiện nay, Facebook không chỉ là nơi con người có thể bộc lộ những trạng thái cảm xúc, mà còn là nơi kết bạn, sẻ chia thông tin giữa những người dùng. Tiện ích mà Facebook mang lại vốn không thể phủ nhận, nhưng bên cạnh đó, việc sử dụng mạng xã hội Facebook cũng kéo theo những mặt trái cần được quan tâm. Phải chăng nguyên nhân của thực trạng này nằm ở văn hóa sử dụng Facebook của con người? Thông qua bài viết này, trên cơ sở phân tích thực trạng và nguyên nhân, chúng tôi mạnh dạn đề xuất một số biện pháp nhằm góp phần nâng cao văn hóa ứng xử trên một số nhóm Facebook lớn của sinh viên Trường Đại học Công nghiệp Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh hiện nay.
