Established in 1997, Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) is now among the best universities in Vietnam for all aspects, after 20 years of development. With sixteen faculties of multi-disciplines and around 25,000 students, TDTU has made lots of achievements. In 2017, TDTU is ranked 245th in the world (and ranked 1st in Vietnam) on Sustainable Development by UI GreenMetric World University Rankings (UI GreenMetric); ranked 1st among universities in Vietnam for high-quality research outputs by Nature Index; ranked 2nd among universities in Vietnam (and ranked 1st in research category) by Xephangdaihoc, a group of independent experts of Vietnam. Sustainability is of TDTU’s focus. This paper shortly discussed TDTU’s latest achievements on sustainability, and then focused on issues and innovation in managing waste at Ton Duc Thang University.

According to the recent worldwide UN e-government survey, a rising trend towards the electronic reform of the public sector around the world becomes apparent (UNPAN 2008). Hence, the mere processing of detached transactions in government e-services is increasingly replaced by a complex process framework to develop an integrative approach for unidirectional as well as for bidirectional government and citizen (G2C, C2G), government and business (G2B, B2G), and government and government (G2G) communication and services. This article provides an overview of current findings in the realm of e-government and presents future directions of research. Therefore, we perform a keyword analysis of current high-quality research in the field of e-government.

Dissociative Seizures

This chapter focuses on the experience of a Neurologist when he saw patients with Dissociative Seizures twenty years ago as a trainee. At that time, the diagnostic label was very clearly “pseudoseizures,” and the prevailing attitude among the senior Neurologists training the Neurologist was that this was a problem closely allied to malingering. The emphasis was on looking for reasons that the events were “not epilepsy,” with no thought of how to understand, explain, or treat the problem. Tales were told of patients who had been threatened with or given painful stimuli, for instance with a large-bore cannula, leading to them “come round.” All this reinforced a culture of negative attitudes and care. Even though the Neurologist did not take part in these activities, it is horrifying to think not only how that was standard practice but also how it still is in many healthcare institutions around the world. Hopefully, high-quality research, especially treatment trials, will be the lever that can slowly lead to a change in attitudes and practice across the whole medical community.

Purpose. This article proposes to reflect on how universities are committed to gender equality. Methodology. After a theoretical reflection that introduces the current reality of universities and the framework of academic capitalism that surrounds them, I investigate the global university rankings (GURs), specifically The High Education (THE) World University Rankings. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the rankings shows us the need to rethink how, in the current reality of university practices imposed by academic capitalism, we can carry out the university equality policies that laws and regulations impose on academia. Conclusion. As a conclusion and contribution, I point out the urgency of a new conception, which puts the commitments of sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda at the center and adjusts the standards and methodologies to these objectives, and not vice versa, the objectives to the methodologies.

Learning Research

The purpose of this review is to represent the significance of learning the research methods in art and design, specifically. The review particularly focuses on learning the methods provided by two key researchers in art and design fields. In the book titled “visualize research: a guide to the research process in art and design", the authors take the reader into a journey with the powerful perception of visual thinking through the experimental approach used in this research category. The review also represents the authors’ emphasis on learning research methods to conduct high-quality research studies in art and design, which ultimately impacts the world.

Ill health is a serious impediment to progress in most poor countries, yet health is not a high priority on foreign aid agendas. Health research, which provides the essential base for sustainable progressive health programs, is barely visible in developing countries. For example, in Bangladesh, one finds unacceptably high morbidity and mortality rates among infants and children, health programs that are struggling and a rudimentary health research establishment; for the huge foreign donor community in that country, health programs and research do not appear to warrant major investments. Diarrheal diseases are at the top of the list of killers in many poor nations including Bangladesh. Recent advances in our understanding of diarrhea suggest that while prevention may not be possible soon, improved active treatment can evolve from an aggressive research effort centred in a developing country and linked to appropriate international partners. Global agencies such as the World Health Organization have demonstrated a declining interest in health research, as reflected in the policies of their Diarrhoeal Disease Control Programme. Major donors to the developing world, the Canadian International Development Agency for example, have had a relatively minor involvement in health and little commitment to health research. University links with the west, private enterprises and specially targeted programs are involved in developing world health research but they have not been able to foster and leave behind sustainable, high quality research programs. The problem should be attacked directly by supporting focused, relevant health research centres in regions of the world where the burden of disease continues to impede progress and where the environment is conducive to high quality research that is well integrated with care delivery programs. An instructive model of this approach is the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Abstract Background Surgeons are frequently compared in terms of their publication activity to members of other disciplines who publish in journals with naturally higher impact factors. The time intensity of daily clinical duties in surgery is yet not comparable to that of these competitor disciplines. Purpose Here, we aimed to critically comment on ways for improving the academic productivity of university surgerons. Conclusions To ensure high-quality science in surgery, it is imperative that surgeons actively ask for and generate the time for high-quality research. This necessitates coordinated and combined efforts of leading university surgeons at the political level and effective presentation of the magnificent studies performed by young and talented university surgeons.

The new phenomena of the world infrastructure practice are analyzed in the context of the paradigm of sustainable development. Special attention is paid to the conceptual and doctrinal design of new approaches to infrastructure development – the concepts of sustainable and high-quality infrastructure, responsible in-vestment. The efforts of the Russian Federation in this area are considered through the prism of the main trends in global infrastructure development. Conclusions are drawn about the key barriers that hinder the full-fledged development of the infrastructure complex, suggestions and recommendations are made on improv-ing approaches to the infrastructure development of Russia to achieve sustainable development.
