Management factors influencing lecturers' research productivity in Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam: A structural equation modeling analysis.

Increasing lecturers' research productivity plays a crucial role in improving teaching quality and university prestige. This research aims to establish and test a model for evaluating management factors that affect the research productivity of Vietnamese university lecturers. Data were collected by surveying 398 lecturers and researchers at universities affiliated with the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU).

Evaluating the learning environment of nursing students: A multisite cross-sectional study.

Background: Identifying students' experiences of the university and clinical learning environments informs quality improvement of courses.

Objectives: To investigate undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of their education environment and the facilitators and barriers to learning, during university and clinical experiences.

Design: Multi-site cross-sectional survey.

Translation and validation of a Vietnamese version of the modified Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (V-CLEI).

The quality of students' experiences in an education environment directly affect learning outcomes. In an applied profession such as nursing, students undertake work-integrated learning in unpredictable health settings where multiple influences interact. Understanding students' perspectives with a valid instrument is the first step in improving learning environments and maximizing learning outcomes.

Genome-wide association mapping for root traits in a panel of rice accessions from Vietnam.

Background: Despite recent sequencing efforts, local genetic resources remain underexploited, even though they carry alleles that can bring agronomic benefits. Taking advantage of the recent genotyping with 22,000 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers of a core collection of 180 Vietnamese rice varieties originating from provinces from North to South Vietnam and from different agrosystems characterized by contrasted water regimes, we have performed a genome-wide association study for different root parameters. Roots contribute to water stress avoidance and are a still underexploited target for breeding purpose due to the difficulty to observe them.
