Introduction: The pattern of drug use in Vietnam has changed rapidly over the past decade, and a large number of people who have a history of heroin injection reportedly use methamphetamine. This paper describes factors associated with methamphetamine use among people who inject heroin in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey among 521 heroin injectors who were recruited through chain referral and outreach at community and clinic settings. Eligibility criteria included: (1) male aged 18 or older; (2) reported heroin injecting during the 12 months before the survey; (3) agreed for a urine test to detect methamphetamine and opiate metabolites. The primary outcome, methamphetamine use, was defined as selfreported methamphetamine use during the 30 days before the survey and/or having a urine test positive for methamphetamine. Structural Equation Model was used to evaluate associated factors for methamphetamine use. Results: One third of participants qualified as methamphetamine users as defined in this study. A longer history of heroin use (β=0.126, p<0.001), using MDMA and/or cannabis (β=0.28, p<0.001) and not using condom during sex (β=0.139, p<0.001) were positively associated with methamphetamine use. Family functioning (β=-0.141; p<0.001) was protective. The goodness-of-fit of Structural Equation Model was excellent (CFI=0.934; TLI=0.912; RMSEA=0.033; WRMR=0.98). Conclusions: Methamphetamine use among people who inject heroin is a substantial issue in Hanoi. Family functioning has made a critical contribution on reducing methamphetamine use. Future studies should pay attention to address the role of factors at the family level in addition to individual-level factors towards the pattern of drug use.

Customer loyalty is ‘suspected’not been able to optimizationrepetition of transactions, customer recommendation and durability with the establishment relationship quality of the trust, customer satisfaction and commitment. Therefore, research conducted on Bank CIMB Niaga aims to determine the extent of the trust, and commitment to customer satisfaction can increase X-tra and TabunganKU savings customer loyalty. This research is verification and the method of research is explanatory survey method, the sample is 160 customer X-tra and tabunganKU savings in the branch office Bank CIMB Niaga Bintaro. The analytical method used is structural equation model. The results showed loyalty can be achieved with relationship quality for customers through the establishment of trust, and commitment to customer satisfaction, which all three have a positive influence. Therefore, the management of Bank CIMB Niaga need to improve their ability in trust, satisfactionand commitmentwith the bank's customers to become increasingly favored customers.

E-learning adalah mediator yang menghubungkan sumber daya informasi dan layanan pengguna yang dapat diakses dari mana saja dan kapan saja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh komponen Kepuasan Komputasi Pengguna Akhir (konten, akurasi, bentuk, kemudahan penggunaan, dan ketepatan waktu) terhadap kepuasan penggunaan   E-learning di Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang. Mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pengguna (siswa) dengan penerapan teknologi pendidikan, yaitu E-learning. Mengetahui faktor apa yang mempengaruhi kepuasan menggunakan E-learning. Sebagai dasar pertimbangan untuk meningkatkan atau meningkatkan kualitas layanan teknologi pendidikan, yaitu e-learning di Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah di Palembang. Populasi dan sampel penelitian diambil di Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, yang telah menggunakan E-learning sebagai mediator informasi antara dosen dan mahasiswa. SEM (Structural Equation Model) adalah metode analisis multivariat yang dapat digunakan untuk menggambarkan hubungan simultan antara variabel linier antara indikator dan variabel yang tidak dapat diukur secara langsung (variabel laten).
