    Abstract Protein function prediction is a crucial part of genome annotation. Prediction methods have recently witnessed rapid development, owing to the emergence of high-throughput sequencing technologies. Among the available databases for identifying protein function terms, Gene Ontology (GO) is an important resource that describes the functional properties of proteins. Researchers are employing various approaches to efficiently predict the GO terms. Meanwhile, deep learning, a fast-evolving discipline in data-driven approach, exhibits impressive potential with respect to assigning GO terms to amino acid sequences. Herein, we reviewed the currently available computational GO annotation methods for proteins, ranging from conventional to deep learning approach. Further, we selected some suitable predictors from among the reviewed tools and conducted a mini comparison of their performance using a worldwide challenge dataset. Finally, we discussed the remaining major challenges in the field, and emphasized the future directions for protein function prediction with GO.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on society, both physically and mentally. Mask use in public places has been made mandatory in many countries, as it is one of the most effective methods to prevent transmission of the virus. However, continuous mask usage has been associated with the emergence of various cutaneous diseases in the areas of contact with the mask. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of various cutaneous manifestations resulting from mask use on patients' quality of life through a questionnaire survey. This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a hospital from May to July 2022. Patients who had experienced skin symptoms related to mask use in the past or present were included in the study. Participants completed the questionnaire with informed consent. A total of 165 participants participated in the survey, with the most common complaint being itching (58.18%), followed by acne (52.73%). Itching was found to have the highest dermatology life quality index score. Patients with skin redness had a lower quality of life compared to those without it. Prolonged mask-wearing can result in skin diseases that can seriously impair patients' quality of life.

    Abstract This study examines the impact of innovation at the strategy level on innovation at the process and system levels, which are considered to be forms of function-level innovation, based on the strategy implantation approach. The study also reveals the effect of process and system innovation on the sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) of young firms in Vietnam. The research used primary data from a survey of 289 young firms’ leaders in Vietnam. PLS-SEM using SmartPLS software was employed to assess the ability of the measurement model and structural model to test hypotheses. The findings indicated that the four hypotheses about the effects of strategy innovation on process and system innovation and the effects of process and system innovation on the SCA of young firms in Vietnam were all confirmed. These crucial results fill the research gap of innovation in young firms, especially the gap in the context of developing countries. The current study addresses an important implication for the use of innovation practices in young firms to sustain the firm’s SCA. Accordingly, young firms are able to significantly strengthen their sustainable competitive advantage through innovation practices at both strategy and function levels.

    Abstract Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the health of the public, and it is also impacting business and economy. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on listed firms’ performance and the abnormal stock returns in Vietnam. To study the impact of Covid-19 on firms’ performance, we collected data about announced earnings on Q1/2020 and Q4/2019 of 714 enterprises and made comparison. The results revealed the enormous impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on the business performance. However, the level of influence varies among sectors. To study the impact of Covid-19 on the abnormal stock returns, the study employed the event research method with 3 events related to Covid-19 pandemic in Vietnam. A sample of 364 companies listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) was utilized. The findings revealed that the Covid-19 event affects the abnormal returns of stocks and the level of influence varied from each stage of Covid-19 prevention measure in Vietnam. The degrees of influence of the Covid-19 event on each stock were also different. The paper concluded that Covid-19 pandemic information can be used to predict stocks’ prices.

    Abstract Mungbean is an important but understudied food legume compared with other major grain crops. Genetic studies through development of high-through put markers, linkage map construction and QTL analysis can accelerate and improve the efficiency of mining for genes for breeding in this crop. This study used four mungbean F₅ recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from crosses of two wild types (ACC 1, ACC 87) and two cultivars (Berken, Kiloga) and DArT markers to construct individual and consensus linkage maps and to identify QTLs associated with 54 traits in mungbean. The number of polymorphic DArT markers identified among the four RIL populations varied from 1062 to 2013. The individual maps covered the lengths of 629.7–883.5 cM, comprising 672–981 DArT markers and 15–19 linkage groups (LG) with average distance between markers of 0.9–1.2 cM. The consensus map had the total length of 795.3 cM, comprising 1539 DArT markers and resolved 11 LGs with an average inter-marker distance of 0.65 cM. Sixty-two QTLs were identified for 39 traits across 10 LGs of the consensus map. Major QTLs were identified for two special traits, late flowering inherited from ACC 1 (6 QTLs, PVE of 11.2–29.9%) and perenniality inherited from ACC 87 (3 QTLs, PVE of 17.4–22.6%) in separate population analysis. Number of congruent QTLs across four mungbean populations and the consensus map was 18 for 13 traits. These results illustrated the high efficiency of DArT marker application in mungbean genetic dissection and suggested the future potential employment of identified QTLs for mungbean improvement.

    Abstract To investigate potential respiratory pathogens in children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and risk factors for severe disease. This prospective study was conducted among 467 children at the Thai Binh Paediatric Hospital, Vietnam between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2021. Clinical data and laboratory results were collected. Twenty-four respiratory microorganisms were tested from nasopharyngeal swabs using real-time PCR. Logistical regression was used to estimate a factor's adjusted odd ratios of the severity of disease. Mean age of patients = 15.4 ± 13.3 months, 63.0% were male. Over 97% of patients had a positive PCR result. 87% of patients were positive for multiple (up to eight) microorganisms. Rhinovirus (46%), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (24%), enterovirus (17%), and parainfluenza viruses-3 (13%) were the most frequent viruses. H. influenzae (61%), S. pneumoniae (45%) and M. catarrhalis (30%) were the most common bacteria. 128 (27%) cases were classified as severe pneumonia. Presence of smokers at home (aOR 2.11, 95% CI 1.27-3.52, P value = 0.004), CRP level ≥ 50 mg/dL (aOR  6.11, 95% CI  3.86-9.68, P value < 0.0001), RSV (aOR  1.78, 95% CI  1.07-2.96, P value = 0.03) and H. influenzae (aOR  1.66, 95% CI  1.03-2.67, P value = 0.04) PCR detection associated with a higher risk of severe pneumonia; ,. Causative agents of pneumonia in children are complex. Children positive with RSV and H. influenzae need to be closely monitored to prevent severe pneumonia.

    Abstract Mungbean is an important pulse crop and is predominantly cultivated across Asia. However, its production is hampered by climate change-induced drought stress. Drought affects various morpho-physiological processes associated with growth and molecular functions. This study analyzed growth responses and VrDREB2A gene expression in two mungbean cultivars, DX208 and Tam Thanh Hoa under water deficit at vegetative and flowering stages. Water use and growth characters were evaluated at four time-points (8, 12, 15 and 20-day drought) and 7-day recovery while yield components and yield were recorded after harvesting. Differential expression of VrDREB2A gene was analyzed at four time-points for leaf and root. Plants used up water more quickly at the flowering stage than vegetative stage. The data for plant height, leaf number, above-ground plant biomass and root weight indicated that drought stress significantly repressed mungbean growth, with a reduction relative to the control by 4.0–85%. Yield components and individual yield reduced significantly by 50–60%, with more reduction in drought imposed under the vegetative stage. VrDREB2A expression began to increase on a 12-day drought and was significant in stressed roots on a 20-day drought at the vegetative stage. In contrast, an increase in VrDREB2A expression occurred from 8-day and lasted until a 20-day drought in stressed leave and root at the flowering stage. Overall, the vegetative stage was more sensitive to drought than the flowering stage. A cultivar with less relative reduction in growth and yield related traits and higher VrDREB2A expression was more tolerant to drought. VrDREB2A functioned as an important transcriptional activator and can increase the drought stress tolerance of the mungbean.

    Abstract Objectives: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the greatest challenges and concerns in Vietnam and around the world. Many studies have shown that HAIs may result in an increase in hospital length of stay, antibiotic use, multidrug-resistant organism (MDROs) infections, treatment costs, and mortality. Therefore, in the past 5 years, the Department of Infection Control of Cho Ray Hospital has carried out many infection and prevention control (IPC) activities to reduce the rates of HAI and MDRO infection. We evaluated IPC activities and results achieved in these efforts at Cho Ray Hospital during 2017–2021. Methods: We described the implemented IPC activities and retrospectively collected data from HAIs surveillance reports during 2017–2021 for 3 intensive care units (ICUs): ICU-B, ICU-D, and the NICU. Results: In the past 5 years, we implemented synchronous IPC activities, including promoting hand hygiene training and surveillance, environmental cleaning surveillance, carrying out improvement projects such as a ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) prevention bundle, an MDRO prevention bundle, and an environmental cleaning quality improvement project. Many positive results were achieved, although a slight increase in the HAI incidence occurred in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the hand hygiene compliance rate increased from 49.7% to 83.8%. The rate of HAIs per 1,000 patient days decreased steadily from 5.4 to 2.4. The VAP rate fell from 30.5 to 17.2 per 1,000 patient days, and the central-line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rate decreased gradually from 5.4 to 2.4 per 1,000 patient days. The catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rate decreased from 2.9 to 0.9 per 1,000 patient days, and the MDRO infection rate decreased significantly from 32.7 to 11.3 per 1,000 patient days. Conclusions: The synchronous implementation of HAI prevention bundles promoting hand hygiene and environmental cleaning achieved significant effects in the efforts to decrease HAIs and ...
