This study seeks to investigate the critical role of eWOM in shaping brand image and driving purchase intention, with a particular focus on the dimensions of eWOM quality, quantity, and source credibility. The objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these eWOM factors influence brand image and purchase intention in an era dominated by online interactions. Utilizing data from 268 Vietnamese consumers, this study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and SmartPLS software to assess the relationships between the variables. The findings reveal that all three eWOM dimensions - quality, quantity, and source credibility - exert a significant positive influence on brand image, which in turn strongly affects purchase intention. Notably, eWOM quantity and source credibility were found to have a more substantial impact on brand image than eWOM quality. These results underscore the urgency for businesses to strategically manage online reviews and ensure the credibility of review sources to enhance brand perception and foster higher purchase intentions. The study provides insights for marketers and brand managers seeking to optimize their eWOM strategies in the competitive digital marketplace. PhD.

Data were collected from 250 college and university students using a structured survey and convenience sampling method. The research employs quantitative methods, utilizing Cronbach's Alpha reliability testing, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and linear regression analysis. The results highlight four key factors significantly impacting students' adoption decisions. Perceived Ease of Use emerged as the most influential factor, followed by Performance Expectancy, Technological Innovativeness, and Social Influence. This study's main contribution is its focus on a distinct yet under-researched demographic – students in Vinh Long province. It offers new insights into their perceptions and intentions toward AI adoption in learning. The research also extends the existing literature by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model in an educational AI context. Practically, the findings provide recommendations for academic institutions, policymakers, and technology developers to improve AI-integrated learning tools that align with student needs. MA.

Based on survey data collected from 323 consumers of organic food products in Ho Chi Minh City, this research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Smart-PLS software was used to analyze the data. The results show a positive direct effect of green brand image on green brand equity, as well as a mediating effect of green consumer satisfaction on the relationship between green brand image and green brand equity for organic food products. Additionally, the results indicate that there are no significant differences in the relationship in the research model based on gender. However, there are differences based on occupation, and partial differences exist in all relationships based on age, residence location, and salary. Based on these results, several research implications are suggested for organic food businesses, state agencies, and consumers to enhance green brand equity for organic food products and encourage consumers to increase their consumption of organic food.

A partial least squares structural equation modeling approach was utilized in the study to analyze 640 survey responses. Results show that perceived corporate social responsibility has a direct impact on brand equity, brand reputation, and brand trust. Brand reputation and brand trust also have a direct impact on brand equity. In addition, brand reputation and brand trust play an intermedia mediating role in the relationship between perceived corporate social responsibility and brand equity. The study's findings also imply management implications for managers in higher education about their branding tactics, including increasing corporate social responsibility activities to increase brand equity, brand reputation, and brand trust, encouraging corporate social responsibility initiatives in order to instill a sense of respect for the institution, a sense of quality service, and a belief in their promises, enhancing university reputation and trust by utilizing social media and media platforms to disseminate messages and outcomes of corporate social responsibility initiatives, in addition to putting them into practice.

It employs a mixed-analytical approach combining Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to capture both linear and nonlinear relationships between predictors and the dependent variable, thereby improving prediction accuracy. The results indicate that combining MLR and ANN provides a more precise measure of the relative influence of each predictor on taxpayer satisfaction. The research identifies key factors influencing e-taxpayer satisfaction, including Accessibility, Appearance, Safety, Effectiveness, and Interactivity. These factors are categorized into two groups: high-impact (Appearance, Accessibility, Safety) and low-impact (Interactivity, Effectiveness). The findings have significant theoretical and managerial implications, suggesting that tax authorities should design user-friendly interfaces for their electronic platforms and prioritize security to enhance taxpayer satisfaction. This study's innovative use of ANN combined with MLR provides new insights compared to prior research. PhD. Quang Huy Le MA.

To consider the memory effects in macroeconomic models, we propose a class of fractional differential equations involving a Caputo-type fractional derivative with respect to another function (or -Caputo derivative). For this purpose, the objective of this paper is to obtain the unique solution of the proposed -Caputo fractional differential equation. Behaviors of Mittag-Leffler’s functions, which characterize the growth behaviors of the solution are described. To evaluate the solution, we will compute the Mittag-Leffler functions by Matlab code. As a result, we obtain the solutions in explicit form. This work also provides a comparative analysis of solutions of our model and model without memory effect. To the best of our knowledge, the Harrod-Domar fractional differential equation with Caputo-type fractional derivative has not yet been investigated. Hence the result obtained from our study is essentially new. Moreover, this approach allows for greater flexibility in modeling economic behavior, making it possible to account for non-instantaneous effects and the cumulative impact of previous decisions. MA.

Meanwhile, globalization and the internationalization of capital markets require very high transparency, timely response to financial reports, and the quality of main financial reports. Therefore, this study was conducted to provide an overview of prudential accounting in terms of definition, classification of prudential accounting, measurement methods, and important factors affecting prudential accounting. The results of this study have provided the most general theoretical foundation for prudential accounting, which is the basis for future research on this issue and at the same time provides a theoretical foundation to support readers gaining a comprehensive view of prudential accounting as well as its role in financial reporting quality to build appropriate research directions in the future.
