Risks and uncertainty are unavoidable problems in management of projects. Therefore, project managers should not only prevent risks, but also have to respond and manage them. Risk management has become a critical interest subject in the construction industry for both practitioners and researchers. This paper presents critical risk factors of office building projects in the construction phase in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey based on the likelihood and consequence level of risk factors. These factors fell into five groups: (i) financial risk factors; (ii) management risk factors; (iii) schedule risk factors; (iv) construction risk factors; and (v) environment risk factors. The research results showed that critical factors affecting office building projects are natural (i.e., prolonged rain, storms, climate effects) and human-made issues (i.e., soil instability, safety behaviors, owner's design change) and the schedule-related risk factors contributed to the most significant risks for office buildings projects in the construction phase in Ho Chi Minh City. They give construction management and project management practitioners a new perspective on risks and risk management of office buildings projects in Ho Chi Minh City and are proactive in the awareness, response, and management of risk factors comprehensively.

Mechanization and automation constitute an essential stage in the production and operation of any company, as one of the determinants of increase in labor productivity and decrease in product price, while significantly contributing to shortening of the lead time. Businesses are, therefore, able to quickly put projects into operation, improving economic efficiency, quality, and aesthetics, which speeds up the national economic growth. For the construction industry to be the most effective, modern construction equipment is a necessity. It is one of the five main resources of a construction project. Thus, effective construction equipment management contributes to the success of a project and benefits the relevant construction companies economically. This paper presents the critical risk factors affecting equipment management and proposes suitable solutions. The questionnaire-based survey with experienced experts in the construction sector on the management of the likelihood and consequence of risk factors revealed thirty-two risks for equipment management in construction companies. These factors fell into six groups: (i) site organization-related risks; (ii) management-related risks; (iii) owner-related risks; (iv) supplier-related risks; (v) legal risks, and (vi) site condition-related and external risks. The results showed that management-related factors contributed to the most significant risks and problems for equipment management in construction companies.

Two dimensional graphene oxide (GO) has potential application in membrane separation owing to its unique structure andphysicochemical properties. In this study, the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized from GO via hydrothermaltreatment at 160 oC for 1, 2, 3 and 4 h, and the rGO membranes were prepared on cellulose nitrate supporting membranesby vacuum filtration. The structural change and chemical composition of GO were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD),Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) andcontact angle measurements. The result shows that uniformly intact rGO membranes with good hydrophobicity could beachieved by adjusting the reduction degree of GO through changing the hydrothermal reaction time. The huge improvementof the hydrophobic property of rGO could be attributed to the removal of the most the hydrophilic oxygen-containingfunctional groups on the surface of GO. Additionally, the structure, chemical composition, and d-spacing of the GO can alsobe controlled by adjusting the reduction time. This method holds great potential because it can be prepared in large quantitiesat low cost, and suitable for applications in membrane technologies.

A construction project is a designed product made up of labors, materials, and installations in the project positioned on the ground and may include the underground and ground section, and the section in water or on the water surface. It is a civil, industrial, transport, agricultural and rural development, infrastructure, or some other. A key phase in the life cycle of these construction projects is the implementation when building products are made directly with workers, equipment, materials, and managers. If there is a lack of management experience, information, and problem-solving solutions to tackle the risks faced by contractors, especially foreign ones, will fail in controlling the project's cost. This study was conducted with investigations, discussions, and evaluation of the factors that lead to cost overruns in the construction projects of international contractors in Vietnam. The principal component analysis (PCA) showed that those factors that influence cost overruns these construction projects fall into five general groups, including factors related to (i) the owners, (ii) the foreign contractors, (iii) the subcontractors and suppliers, (iv) state management, and (v) the project itself. Besides, the study proposes solutions to limit cost overruns in construction projects and improve the profitability of international contractors in Vietnam.

The world has witnessed the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. Mainstream and social media are playing an important role in Covid-19 pandemic prevention. This research explores awareness, communication channels and effectiveness of communication in the Covid-19 pandemic in rural areas of Thua Thien Hue province, Central Vietnam. Primary information was collected from 181 respondents, who are farmers, non-farmers and students. Secondary information was collected from reports and statistical data. Television, word of mouth and local loudspeakers are the main channels of mainstream media while social media mentions the role of Facebook and Zalo to transfer Covid-19 pandemic information. Mainstream media is still the main channel of farmers and old people while non-farmers and young people tend to access information through social media. Communication has significantly contributed to improving awareness and action of rural people in the Covid-19 epidemic prevention.

<P>In this study, a recorded high open-circuit voltage (V<SUB>oc</SUB>) of 1.61 V and fill factor (FF) of 76.65% of a-Si:H p-i-n/heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT)-type multi-junction solar cells were achieved using grain size enlargement within the p-type <I>μ</I>c-Si:H layer in a p-type <I>μ</I>c-Si:H/n-type a-Si:H tunneling recombination junction (TRJ) layer. The p-type <I>μ</I>c-Si:H layer’s conductivity increased from 1.74?×?10<SUP>−4</SUP> to 0.1 S cm<SUP>−1</SUP> as the film’s crystallinity increased from 41.5% to 67.5%. The a-Si:H p-i-n/HIT-type multi-junction solar cells also benefited from the tuning up crystalline p-type <I>μ</I>c-Si:H layer, showing the increase of V<SUB>oc</SUB> and FF from 1.5 V and 49.88% to 1.61 V and 76.65%, respectively; while the short-circuit current density (9.38?±?0.2 mA cm<SUP>−2</SUP>) did not change significantly. These are the highest V<SUB>oc</SUB> and FF values achieved in a-Si:H p-i-n/HIT-type multi-junction solar cells, recently. From dark current-voltage analysis, it was deduced that the enhanced crystalline films could assist in suppressing carrier interference in the TRJ layer, thus reduces electric field distortion and mitigates recombination in the device. In summary, an enhanced crystalline p-type <I>μ</I>c-Si:H layer could be a viable option for ensuring an excellent TRJ layer, thus achieved high efficiency of inorganic/c-Si tandem solar cells. Using optimal condition with crystallinity of 74.1%, the photovoltaic parameters of the device yield V<SUB>oc</SUB>, J<SUB>sc</SUB> and FF of 1.51 V, 13.01 mA cm<SUP>−2</SUP> and 71.45%, which in turned giving an efficiency of 14.04% for a-SiGe:H p-i-n/HIT-type tandem solar cell.</P>

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors affecting the adoption of e-commerce by household businesses in Vietnam's food and beverage industry. Research design, data and methodology: The integrated TAM and TOE frameworks and ten hypotheses were developed to test the relationship between relevant factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect valid data from 992 respondents who run F&B household businesses in Vietnam. Results: The empirical research results confirm all proposed hypotheses that e-commerce adoption is affected by the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease of use, vendor support partners, social expectancy, competitive pressure, subjective norm, and household resources. Meanwhile, technical readiness, environment readiness, and organization readiness are intermediate variables that influence the implementation of e-commerce in food and beverage distribution. Conclusions: The findings suggest effective orientations to foster the food and beverage e-trading practice for household businesses in developing countries. Accordingly, to encourage private household businesses to adopt e-commerce, it is necessary to focus on improving business resources, technology readiness, environment readiness, and organization readiness through raising awareness of usefulness, benefits, perceived ease of use, and increased support of vendor partners. Future research can focus on improving the efficiency of e-commerce applications in F&B distribution for both household businesses and larger-scale enterprises.

Recycling biomass to cellulose aerogel (Cell-A) provides a promising approach to develop adsorbent materials for spilled-oil recovery. In this work, Cell-A was fabricated from Vietnamese water hyacinth via crosslinking methods using PVA as a crosslinker and freeze-drying process. Various cellulose to PVA ratios were investigated to obtain the optimal synthesis condition. The Cell-A was additionally modified by dip-coating in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and pyrolyzing to form PDMS-coated cellulose aerogels (Cell-AP) and carbon aerogels (CA), respectively. Results of the oil adsorption tests show that pyrolysis produced aerogels with greater adsorption capacity with an optimal mass ratio of 15 : 1 cellulose to PVA. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order model was found to be more accurate than the pseudo-first-order model for the study of oil absorption kinetics. As a result, the modified cellulose aerogel is promising for replacing earth-unfriendly polymer-based oil sorbents due to their high oil absorption capacity.
