Authors: Guseynova B. M. , Abdulgamidov M. D.
Published: July 2023

The development of new varieties of cherries with a combination of economically important traits, along with the high nutritional value of the fruit, is an important trend in breeding research, which renews and expands the variety range of cherries. The agrobiological and consumer properties of seven new varieties of sweet cherries of Dagestan breeding (FSBSI Dagestan breeding experimental station of fruit crops) are presented: Bela, Dagestan red, Bigarro Krainsky, Garnet, Lyubimitsa Korvatskogo, Lezginka and Nike. The research was carried out using conventional methods for a variety research and biochemical methods of analysis. It was determined that the cherry varieties Lyubimitsa Korvatskogo, Pomegranate, White and Nike are highly resistant to spring frosts, with the subfreezing of flowers being less than 18.3%. The fruits of the varieties Nike, Bela, Pomegranate, Lezginka and Lyubimitsa Korvatskogo are the most resistant to dehiscence, since the index of dehiscence during ripening at high humidity for these varieties varied within 13.5–18.2 %. The susceptibility of new varieties to Coccomyces and monilial blight is insignificant (no more than 1.2 points). Varieties Bigarro Krainsky, Pomegranate, Lezginka and Nike are characterized by the highest content of soluble solids (12.4–16.3%) and sugars (11.01–12.02%) in fruits. Bigarro Krainski, Bela and Lezginka exhibited the highest vitamin C content (9.24– 9.70 mg %). With the exception of the Bela variety (5.0 g), all new varieties of cherries are characterised by large fruits (7.5–9.5 g). Tasting indicators were rated as high (within 4.7–5.0 points on a five-point scale) for the Lyubimitsa Korvatskogo, Pomegranate, Lezginka and Nike varieties. The average yield was the highest for Nike, Bela and Garnet (8.0–9.6 t/ ha). The study showed that new cherry varieties obtained a combination of economic and biologically valuable traits, along with improved consumer properties compared with the control varieties. Therefore, they are recommended as valuable parent materials for breeding programs and the expansion of commercial cherry orchards in Dagestan in order to obtain high-quality fruit products.

El significado y las emociones en la traducción: aplicaciones de la lingüística cognitiva y la psicologíaicaciones de la lingüística cognitiva y la psicología
Authors:   Universidad de Murcia, Rojo López Ana María
Published: July 2023

Este trabajo sitúa el foco en los estudios de traducción e interpretación para explicar, con la ayuda de la lingüística y la psicología cognitivas, dos aspectos centrales del trabajo de todo traductor e intérprete, a saber: que sus elecciones están condicionadas tanto por los patrones lingüísticos de su lengua materna como por su personalidad, emociones y creencias; y que dichas elecciones pueden alterar el impacto del producto traducido en la audiencia receptora. A lo largo del trabajo se exponen los resultados de algunos estudios empíricos de corte cognitivo que exploran el papel de determinados constructos lingüísticos y psicológicos en el proceso de traducción e interpretación. Se revisan los resultados sobre tres constructos teóricos de la lingüística cognitiva (la noción de «marco», la hipótesis de «pensar para traducir» de Slobin y la noción de «construcción»), sobre el impacto de tres elementos individuales de índole psicológica en el trabajo del traductor y el intérprete (la ideología, la personalidad y las emociones) y sobre los factores que modulan dicho impacto.
Pensar para traducir. Análisis español>alemán/inglés con estudiantes, profesionales y traducción automática
Authors:   Universidad de Murcia, Cifuentes-Férez Paula , Molés-Cases Teresa ,   Universitat Politècnica de València
Published: July 2023

Este artículo analiza la traducción al alemán y al inglés de una serie de eventos de movimiento presentes en novelas originales en español. En concreto, se centra en tres agentes de traducción: estudiantes de traducción, traductores profesionales y el traductor automático DeepL. El estudio, contextualizado en la hipótesis del «Pensar para traducir» (Slobin, 1997, 2000, 2003), persigue el objetivo de explorar si en la traducción se transfiere toda la información codificada en los eventos de movimiento o, al contrario, se añade información sobre la Manera. Esta última solución de traducción sería previsible teniendo en cuenta las diferencias intertipológicas (las lenguas alemana e inglesa son lenguas de marco satélite y la lengua española, lengua de marco verbal (Talmy, 1985, 2000) y los datos obtenidos de estudios basados en traducción profesional (cf. Slobin, 1996; Cifuentes-Férez, 2013; Molés-Cases, 2019). En general, los resultados apuntan que la forma en que estudiantes y profesionales se enfrentan a la traducción de los eventos de movimiento está condicionada por su lengua materna. Sin embargo, parece que, en general, los estudiantes son más reacios a añadir información sobre la Manera en eventos de movimiento que los traductores profesionales. Asimismo, en el caso de DeepL la técnica de traducción más observada se corresponde con la traducción literal.
Cuando (re)traducir significa convertir: prototipos y soteriología protestante en la (re)traducción de textos del inglés al judeoespañol
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Martín-González Daniel
Published: July 2023

El presente trabajo estudia las traducciones y retraducciones del misionero escocés Alexander Thomson (1820-1899) realizadas del inglés al judeoespañol aljamiado durante el siglo XIX en el marco de las acciones proselitistas de la Iglesia Libre de Escocia en Constantinopla. Analizaremos así, desde la óptica de la lingüística de prototipos (Rosch, 1978), cómo el lenguaje imperialista empleado por el traductor sigue las tendencias decimonónicas de la labor traductológica realizada por los protestantes en esta época. En este sentido, estos misioneros trataban de introducir un sistema semántico cognitivo en la lengua meta a través de sus traducciones, importando no solo nuevos vocablos sino conceptos e ideas de la lengua fuente con un matiz proselitista. De este modo, la hipótesis de partida es que dichas traducciones y retraducciones incluirán numerosos neologismos religiosos no conocidos en judeoespañol o ya presentes con un significado no interpretable desde la teología protestante. Se presentará así el ciclo soteriológico protestante (Pharo, 2018), marcado por voces con una alta carga semántica religiosa centradas en la idea de pecado y salvación protestantes.
Compatibilidad de la Lingüística Cognitiva Aplicada con la enseñanza de ELE. Apuntes desde el aula
Authors:   Columbia University, Llopis-García Reyes
Published: July 2023

Desde principios de los 2000, la Lingüística Cognitiva Aplicada se ha ido posicionando como un acercamiento pedagógico de interés, con una popularidad en aumento tanto en el campo teórico y empírico, como en las aulas de la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera (ELE). Muchos de los conceptos centrales, basados en la experiencia sensorial humana e influenciados por la cultura de las comunidades discursivas (y menos por restricciones prescriptivas de la lengua), ofrecen un aprendizaje motivado, más centrado en el uso y menos en la lengua como objeto de estudio. Si entendemos el lenguaje como corporeizado y emergente de la interacción física del ser humano con su entorno, podemos considerar el aprendizaje de L2 como menos extranjero y más accesible, puesto que promover la reflexión lingüística normaliza el razonamiento interlingüístico y mejora el pensamiento crítico para que los estudiantes establezcan conexiones razonadas entre los idiomas que conocen y los que aprenden. En este artículo se considerarán algunos de los principios clave, como los prototipos, la competencia metafórica o la corporeización, entre otros, para entender cómo se aplican a la instrucción de aspectos gramaticales del español/L2 y a sus materiales.
La adquisición de locuciones idiomáticas del español LE/L2 desde la lingüística cognitiva: estudio de errores frecuentes
Authors:   Universitat Politècnica de València, Ureña Tormo Clara
Published: July 2023

En un estudio previo comprobamos las ventajas de aprender un conjunto de locuciones idiomáticas del español mediante dos propuestas didácticas basadas en la lingüística cognitiva en las que los participantes reflexionaban sobre la conexión entre la lectura literal y el significado idiomático de estas unidades de manera retroactiva (tras recibir el significado) o proactiva (antes de descubrirlo) (Ureña Tormo et al., 2020). El presente trabajo se centra en abordar las respuestas incorrectas del estudio anterior e identifica cuatro tipos de errores: a) interferencias con el significado de otra locución aprendida; b) significado literal; c) significado sin relación con la locución; d) respuesta en blanco. Entre ellos, predominan significativamente las respuestas en blanco (d), sobre todo una semana después de haber aprendido las locuciones, mientras que las confusiones entre locuciones (a) disminuyen notablemente con el paso del tiempo. Los resultados no permiten establecer si alguno de los planteamientos metodológicos es más propenso a provocar o evitar un determinado tipo de errores; sin embargo, dado que la propuesta basada en reflexionar sobre el nexo literal-figurado de manera retroactiva reporta resultados superiores, conviene seguir explorando su potencial didáctico y vincularlo a locuciones con características particulares.
Neuropathic Pain in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis: A Bystander or a Gamechanger?
Authors: KILIÇOĞLU Mehmet Serkan , KARA Mert , YURDAKUL Ozan Volkan
Published: July 2023

Objectives

The relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters associated with the neuropathic pain presence in Psoriatic Arthritis is not well known and has not been adequately studied. Based on these assumptions, the aim of our study is to investigate how often neuropathic pain occurs in Psoriatic Arthritis patients and how much it is related to the clinical and laboratory parameters of the disease.

Methods

In the cross-sectional study, 45 Psoriatic Arthritis patients diagnosed according to The Classification Criteria for Psoriatics were included. In our study, Pain Detect Questionnaire (PDQ) was used to assess the neuropathic pain characteristics. Presence of enthesitis was determined by SPARCC to ensure objective measurements. Functional status was evaluated with the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). The Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life.

Results

A total of 45 patients were included in the study. The mean duration of symptoms was 78.91 ± 95.8 months. There are 16 patients receiving Nsaid treatment, 28 patients receiving DMARD treatment, and 13 patients receiving biological therapy. Among the patients included in the study, 30 patients with neuropathic pain and 15 without neuropathic pain were found according to the Pain Detect questionnaire. A significant difference was observed between these two groups in the results of DAPSA, VAS movement, HAQ, morning stiffness, and SF-36 Body pain.

Conclusion

Our study has shown that neuropathic pain has a high prevalence in Psoriatic Arthritis patients. This association was observed to be related to functional limitation. Additionally, the DAPSA score was found to be significantly higher in patients with neuropathic pain due to pain sensation which suggests that it may be a factor reducing treatment success. It is conceivable that the recognition and treatment of neuropathic pain may increase the success of Psoriatic Arthritis treatment.

This observation is a very interesting record, due to the lacking information on different food sources by adult butterflies in Sumatra, particularly when a butterfly feeding on the carrion of a snake.
Changes in North Korean economy-related laws since Kim Jong-un came to power
Authors:   Korea Society of Unification & North Korean Law Studies(North Korean Law Society), Hyun Doo-youn
Published: July 2023

JAfter Kim Jong-il died in December 2011, his son Kim Jong-un implemented various economic reform measures to solve North Korea's economic problems, and accordingly, significant changes occurred in North Korean economy-related laws. The purpose of this article is to analyze the changes in North Korea's economy after Kim Jong-un came to power, focusing on North Korean laws and regulations. Since the enactment of the Socialist Constitution in 1972, the fundamental ideology of the North Korean economy has been ‘socialist relations of production(nationalization of the means of production)’, ‘independent national economy’, and ‘planned economy’, which have been maintained even after Kim Jong-un took power. However, after Kim Jong-un came to power, North Korea adopted a new method of economic management called the “socialist corporate responsibility management system,” which was also specified in the 2019 amended constitution. The Socialist Enterprise Responsible Management System granted “actual management rights” to enterprises, and as a result, the autonomy of enterprises was greatly expanded. In particular, enterprises and farms were able to plan and produce on their own under the names of 'enterprise index' and 'farm index', respectively, and decide the price to sell, which is a significant change in the socialist planned economy. can be said However, it is questionable how much the socialist responsible management system can achieve in a situation where the ownership and management of enterprises are not separated. Various measures to improve the economy have been implemented since the early days of Kim Jong-un's reign, and the results are being completed and organized through the revision of relevant laws and regulations. From the time Kim Jong-un came to power until 2019, North Korean economy-related laws were mainly revised in the direction of expanding the management rights and autonomy of enterprises and farms. However, after 2020, it has changed in the direction of strengthening control over enterprises and society as a whole. As a result, there is a possibility that the autonomy of enterprises or private economic activities will shrink in the future. It is necessary to pay attention to changes in North Korea's economy-related laws in the future.
Legal Consideration on Kaesong Industrial Complex Insurance Regulations
Authors:   Korea Society of Unification & North Korean Law Studies(North Korean Law Society), Min Wonpyo
Published: July 2023

All provisions of North Korea's 'Gaesong Industrial Zone Insurance Regulations' were critically reviewed according to the theory of insurance law. It was confirmed that there is a fundamental difference in the composition of insurance theory between North Korea's insurance law system, which is characterized by socialistic insurance, and South Korea's insurance law system based on liberal contracts. North Korea's insurance legislation is government-led, and the leading position of insurance companies is included in insurance regulations. This is a point of view that is in contrast to South Korea's insurance legislation that guarantees equal status. Recognizing these differences, mutual understanding, discussions, and negotiations between South and North Korean insurance experts are needed. This thesis is a basic study on the insurance legislation that can be applied by agreement between South and North Korea in the future inter-Korean economic cooperation zone through consideration of the 'Gaesong Industrial Zone Insurance Regulations'.

Authors: Kaplangoray Mustafa , Toprak Kenan , Cekici Yusuf , Yildirim Arafat , Abacioglu Ozge Ozcan
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:

İncreased whole blood viscosity (WBV) is associated with increased infarct area, impaired microvascular circulation and mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

OBJECTIVES:

We aimed to analyze the association between the WBV and thrombus burden (TB) in STEMI patients.

METHODS:

This cross-sectional study included 167 STEMI patients who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention. WBV values were assessed using hematocrit and total protein values, and low shear rate(LSR) and high shear rate(HSR) were calculated. Angiographic TB was assessed according to the definition of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) study group. The cases were dichotomized into low TB (grade 1-3) ( n = 87) and high TB (grade 4-5) ( n = 80) groups.

RESULTS:

The mean HSR and LSR values of the high TB group were significantly increased compared to the low TB group ( p < 0.001, for each). In ROC analysis,for prediction of TB, a cut-off value of 3.83 WBV for HSR had a 71% sensitivity and a 60.7% specificity, and a cut-off value of 21 WBV for LSR had a 70% sensitivity and 59.9% specificity ( p < 0.001,for each). Multivariate regression analysis showed that both HSR (OR = 2.408;p=0.020) and LSR (OR = 1.055;p=0.021) were independent predictors for high TB.

CONCLUSION:

İncreased WBV was an independent predictor for the presence of high TB in patients with STEMI.
Deep pyramidal residual networks with inception sub-structure in image classification
Authors: Xu Fei , Wang Peng , Xu Huimin
Published: July 2023

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have shown remarkable performance in image classification tasks in recent years. In the network structure of DPRN, as the network depth increases, the number of convolutional kernels also increases linearly or nonlinearly. On the one hand, in the DPRN block, the size of the receptive field is only 3 × 3, which results in insufficient network ability to extract feature map information of different filter sizes. On the other hand, the number of convolution kernels in the second 1x1 convolution will be multiplied by a coefficient relative to the first convolution, which can cause overfitting to some extent. In order to overcome these weaknesses, we introduce the inception-like structure on the basis of the DPRN network which is called by pyramid inceptional residual networks (PIRN). In addition, we also discuss the performance of PIRN network with squeeze and excitation (SE) mechanism and regularization term. Furthermore, some results in network performance are discussed when adding a stochastic depth networkto the PIRN model. Compared to DPRN, PIRN achieved better results on the CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and Mini-ImageNet datasets. In the case of using zero-padding, the multiplicative PIRN with SE mechanism achieves the best result of 95.01% on the CIFAR10 dataset. Meanwhile, on the CIFAR100 and Mini-ImageNet datasets, the additive PIRN network with a network depth of 92 achieves the best results of 76.06% and 65.86%, respectively. According to the experimental results, our method has achieved better accuray than that of DPRN with same network settings which demonstrate its effectiveness in generalization ability.

Many people have been severely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, which has left them anxious, terrified, and other difficult feelings. Since the introduction of coronavirus vaccinations, people’s emotional spectrum has broadened and become more sophisticated.We want to observe and interpret their sentiments using deep learning techniques in this work. The most efficient way to convey one’s thoughts and feelings right now is via social media, and using Twitter may help one better understand what is popular and what is going through other people’s minds. Analyzing and visualization of data play a vital role in Data Science; as customers over e-commerce increase, feedback/reviews shared by them increase significantly, and decisions by a new customer to buy a product or not rely on these reviews; reviews might falsely be displayed which may be involving in controlling if any products demand and supply so, reviews analyzing and visualizationto understand they are genuinely playing an important role over e-commerce nowadays. Our primary objective in conducting this study was to understand better the various perspectives individuals held on the vaccination process and reviews of products purchased online. As shown by the presented study, analysis and visualization approaches may be used to facilitate rapid and easy comprehension of e-commerce data, despite its high dimensionality.All correlation and non-correlation factors were mapped and examined, providing a comprehensive picture of the proposed data and its connection to other parameters.The proposed work provides an overview of sentiment observations across arguments and the relationships between parameters; it opens the door for modeling to extract some decision-making insights from the data, which can be used to improve the efficiency of application areas like product quality and customer satisfaction.

Published: July 2023

This work introduces weakly soft β-open subsets, a new family of soft-open sets. By this family, we expand a soft topology to a soft structure which is neither supra-soft topology nor infra-soft topology. The connections between this class of soft sets and other celebrated classes via soft topology are examined with some elucidative examples. Also, it is established some relationships under conditions of extended and hyperconnected soft topologies. Furthermore, the interior and closure operators are structured along with weakly soft β-open and weakly soft β-closed sets. Finally, the class of weakly soft β-continuous functions is introduced and its main characterizations are studied. It is investigated the systematic relationships and findings that are lost for this kind of soft continuity as well as it is shown the conditions required to maintain some of these relationships such as full, extended and hyperconnected soft topologies.
A multi-attribute decision making method for TODIM based on mixed correlation coefficients for probabilistic linguistic term sets
Authors: Xiao Huimin , Gao Xiaosong , Yang Peng , Wei Meng
Published: July 2023

In the face of multi-attribute decision problems in complex situations, most traditional multi-attribute group decision methods are based on the assumption that the decision maker is perfectly rational, while in the face of complex decision problems, the decision maker usually has the psychological characteristics of limited rationality and may use more than one linguistic term to describe the decision information when expressing the decision information To this end, this paper selects probabilistic language term sets to describe complex preference information. First, to address the problem that the current probabilistic linguistic term set correlation coefficient cannot appropriately measure the degree of correlation among probabilistic linguistic term sets, this paper proposes a new probabilistic linguistic term set correlation coefficient from three characteristic factors of probabilistic linguistic term sets: mean, variance, and length rate. To integrate the attribute index weights, probabilistic linguistic term set weighted mixed correlation coefficients are proposed. Second, this paper introduces the TODIM method, which can consider the psychological behavior of decision makers, and proposes a TODIM multi-attribute decision making method based on probabilistic linguistic term sets with mixed correlation coefficients. Finally, through an empirical analysis of four Internet listed companies in a new first-tier city in China, this study verifies the rationality and validity of the proposed method. The results show that the mixed correlation coefficient can comprehensively measure the correlation between probabilistic linguistic term sets, which provides an important method for future multi-attribute decision making problems.
Estimating the compressive strength of GGBFS-based concrete employing optimized regression analysis
Authors: Xiaozhen Zheng , Le Xuong
Published: July 2023

Carbon dioxide is produced during the manufacture of normal Portland cement; however, this gas may be minimized by utilizing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). When planning and constructing concrete buildings, compressive strength (fc), a crucial component of concrete mixtures, is a need. It is essential to assess this GGBFS-blended concrete property precisely and consistently. The major objective of this research is to provide a practical approach for a comprehensive evaluation of machine learning algorithms in predicting the fc of concrete containing GGBFS. The research used the Equilibrium optimizer (EO) to enhance and accelerate the performance of the radial basis function (RBF) network (REO) and support vector regression (SVR) (SEO) analytical methodologies. The novelty of this work is particularly attributed to the application of the EO, the assessment of fc including GGBFS, the comparison with other studies, and the use of a huge dataset with several input components. The combined SEO and REO systems demonstrated proficient estimation abilities, as evidenced by coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.9946 and 0.9952 for the SEO’s training and testing components and 0.9857 and 0.9914 for the REO, respectively. The research identifies the SVR optimized with the EO algorithm as the most successful system for predicting the fc of GGBFS concrete. This finding has practical implications for the construction industry, as it offers a reliable method for estimating concrete properties and optimizing concrete mixtures.

Reliable routing in MANET with mobility prediction via long short-term memory
Authors: Biradar Manjula A. , Mallapure Sujata
Published: July 2023

A MANET consists of a self-configured group of transportable mobile nodes that lacks a central infrastructure to manage network traffic. To facilitate communication, govern route discovery, and manage resources, all moving nodes in multi-hop wireless networks (MANETs) work together. These networks struggle with dependability, energy consumption, and collision avoidance. The goal of this research project is to establish a new, dependable MANET routing model, where the selection of predictor nodes comes first. For selecting predictor nodes based on factors like distance, security (risk), Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), and energy, the adaptive weighted clustering algorithm (AWCA) is used in this case. Using the Interfused Slime and Battle Royale Optimization with Arithmetic Crossover (IS&BRO–AC) model, the node with the lower weight is selected as the Cluster Head (CH). Additionally, mobility prediction is carried out, in which the node mobility is forecast using Improved Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) while taking distance and Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) into account. Based on the forecast, trustworthy data transfer is implemented, ensuring more accurate and dependable MANET routing. The examination of RSSI, PDR, and other metrics is completed at the end.

Published: July 2023

The propagation of Caryocar brasiliense (pequizeiro) is still little known. This study aimed to evaluate different osmotic conditions with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the imbibition process and in the germination of pequi seeds, in addition to verifying the electrical conductivity to evaluate the viability of these seeds. The experiment was conducted with freshly dispersed pyrenes and with pyrenes stored for 90 days. The electrical conductivity of the aqueous solution was measured every six hours for up to 48 hours, using five replications with 20 seeds. The extracted seeds were placed in PEG solutions with osmotic potentials: 0.0; −1.0; −2.0; −3.0; −4.0 MPa, monitored at intervals of 12 hours to 60 hours, plus additional treatment with dry seeds without any type of imbibition. The design was completely randomized with four replications of 25 seeds for germination and four replications of ten seeds for monitoring water content during imbibition. Germination percentage, germination speed index (GSI), percentage of dead and live seeds at 40 days were evaluated. In seeds with longer storage time, the electrical conductivity was higher. Treatments that were not submitted to PEG showed higher GSI, lower mortality percentage and higher germination percentage with 40% and 37%, respectively. The electrical conductivity test was adequate.

This paper is based on the theory of Social Media Marketing and the Stimulus Feedback Mechanism model. The research sample was surveyed from 300 customers using MobiFone telecommunication services in Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak. The specific objective is to identify the components of Social Media Marketing (SMM) and determine the extent to which those factors affect customer loyalty. The qualitative and quantitative research methods are applied to evaluate the influencing factors of SMM on the loyalty of customers using telecommunications services at MobiFone Service Company Region 7. The results showed that five factors of the SMM activities (interaction, informational, word of mouth, personalization, trending content) have a direct impact on customers' perceived value (Value Equity, Brand Equity, Relationship Equity). Besides, except for the factor of brand equity, value equity and relationship equity have impacts directly on customer loyalty. Based on the results of empirical research on the influence of SMM on the loyalty of customers who are using MobiFone telecommunications services at Company 7, some administrative policy implications are suggested to increase customer loyalty to mobile network services and also increase the impression of MobiFone brand.

This paper aims to study the impact of board diversity on the performance (ROA) of the construction firms. The paper analyzed the balance data of of 81 construction firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchanges and Ha Noi Stock Exchanges from 2013 to 2018, using Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) model. Specifically, diversity of the Board of Directors is the independent variable; and the three indicator variables are gender diversity, nationality diversity and educational diversity. The results show that the diversity of foreigners in the Board of Directors has a positive and statistically significant impact on corporate performance according to two methods of components ratio (Proportion) and degree of heterogeneity (Blau index), while the educational factor has a negative and statistically significant effect on ROA by both methods. In addition, the diversity of gender factors in the Board of Directors has a negative and statistically significant impact on ROA only with the component ratio method. This paper has contributed to the literature by providing evidence of board diversity on corporate performance. Finally, based on the research results, the authors expect that the findings would help construction firms more effectively perform on corporate governance. As the government increasingly considers board diversity policies, this study will have useful implications for Vietnamese managers.

The problem now is how to optimize applications so that Blockchain becomes an effective tool that can help build a fairer, more transparent and sustainable world. This can bring forward new benefits in terms of electronic data management, common data sharing and exploiting rights, reliable large-scale information provision, production and business cost reduction that can give a propelling boost on the circular economy. This research article clarifies new understandings about Blockchain, along with its benefits and limitations. On this basis, the author first assesses the impact of the pandemic, analyzes opportunities and threats, discusses the latest studies on the dynamics of Blockchain development post-pandemic, thereby proposing potential policies to help businesses hold their grounds, and work their way forward in the process of restructuring the business technology system.
