This paper investigates some determinants of the intention to use the Ethephon for ripening of post-harvest Durian. The research model was developed based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and combined with a perceived risk. This study surveyed 155 farmers and 20 merchants in Tien Giang Province. The results show that performance expectancy, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using technology, and social influence have a significant positive influence on the usage of the Ethephon. In addition, results also show that anxiety and perceived risk have a significant negative effect on using the Ethephon for post-harvest durian.

We study stochastic reaction–diffusion equation ∂tut(x)=12∂xx2ut(x)+b(ut(x))+Ẇt(x),t>0,x∈D$$\begin{equation*} \partial _tu_t(x)=\frac{1}{2} \partial ^2_{xx}u_t(x)+b(u_t(x))+\dot{W}_{t}(x), \quad t>0,\, x\in {D} \end{equation*}$$where b$b$ is a generalized function in the Besov space Bq,∞β(R)$\mathcal {B}^\beta _{q,\infty }(\mathbb {R})$, D⊂R${D}\subset \mathbb {R}$ and Ẇ$\dot{W}$ is a space‐time white noise on R+×D$\mathbb {R}_+\times {D}$. We introduce a notion of a solution to this equation and obtain existence and uniqueness of a strong solution whenever β−1/q⩾−1$\beta -1/q\geqslant -1$, β>−1$\beta >-1$ and q∈[1,∞]$q\in [1,\infty ]$. This class includes equations with b$b$ being measures, in particular, b=δ0$b=\delta _0$ which corresponds to the skewed stochastic heat equation. For β−1/q>−3/2$\beta -1/q > -3/2$, we obtain existence of a weak solution. Our results extend the work of Bass and Chen (2001) to the framework of stochastic partial differential equations and generalize the results of Gyöngy and Pardoux (1993) to distributional drifts. To establish these results, we exploit the regularization effect of the white noise through a new strategy based on the stochastic sewing lemma introduced in Lê (2020). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study’s o jectives are to identify determinants of full time teachers’ jo duration at private high schools in Ho Chi Minh City and to suggest policy implications to last full time teachers’ job duration for improving the educational quality of the high school level. The study uses the data of surveying directly 147 teachers working for the private high schools in Ho Chi Minh city and applies OLS regression. The findings are that 10 factors influencing to teachers’ jo durations are ( ) teacher’ age, (2) techer’s gender, (3) marriage status, ( ) salary, (5) enefit, (6) teachers’ education, ( ) num er of techters in high school, (8) school’ facilities, (9) leadership in school, and (10) working conditions.

This paper aims to analyze the effect of Japanese leadership styles on employee performance at Japanese companies in Vietnam and to recommend policy implications to improve employee performance in Japanese companies. The study uses the convinient sample collection of 241 obervations and applies the method of descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s Alpha, Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) and regression. The research findings are that the leadership style of Performance (P) influences 60.7% employee performance, the leadership style of Maintenance (M) influences 18.6% employee performance, and the leadership style of Performance & Maintenance (P&M)influences 61.7% employee performance. The effect order of leadership styles on employeee performance are that the leadership style of Performance & Maintenance (P&M)is the highest, next is the leadership style of Performance (P); and the lowest is the leadership style of Maintenance (M).

This study aims to assess the suitability of two industry classification schemes, GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) and TRBC (Thomson Reuters Business Classification - TRBC,) in Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, based on the analysis of average return correlations between within-industry and outside-industry stocks. Using monthly data from Jan 01, 2014 to Dec 31, 2017, in both GICS and TRBC classification schemes, the results show that there are significant differences between within-industry and outside-industry correlations. Therefore, both GICS and TRBC are suitable to use in Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange.
