Competitiveness plays a key role in creating the prosperity, efficiency, and productivity of an economic zone. This study is conducted to build and verify a scale of factors affecting the competitiveness of Nghi Son economic zone, Thanh Hoa province. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods are applied. The collected data includes 108 enterprises operating in Nghi Son economic zone. After screening, the data is processed through the exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and description statistics to consider as a basis for the weighting scales. The research results indicate that: there are 4 groups of factors that directly affect the competitiveness of the economic zone, including: availability of the economic zone, the role of the economic zone management board, competitiveness platform at EZ level, and competitiveness platform at the enterprise level. The assessment of the importance of factor groups shows that the groups of indicators related to the advantage of input production factors are underestimated the role of intangible factors related to competing capability.

Malawi as a developing country where people are striving for new technologies, it has been observed that reading culture is being left aside as people are turning their minds away from books. This is so despite the presence of the Malawi National Library Service which has the promotion of reading culture amongst children as one of their fundamental aims. Therefore, this has prompted the researcher to conduct a study aiming at finding the role of the Malawi National Library service (MNLS) in their work of promoting reading culture. The objectives of the study are to find out services that are used by MNLS to promote reading culture amongst Malawian children, to find out strategies that are used by MNLS to motivate children to read books and to identify the challenges that are met by the MNLS in the process of promoting reading culture. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods and the targeted population was the Malawi National Library Service Staff, library users especially children and teacher librarians from schools that are beneficiaries of MNLS services. The study recommends that The Malawi National Library Service should consider including more varying services that aim at promoting reading culture, MNLS should also make sure that storytelling, reading aloud and other strategies should be conducted by staff or hired personnel who is well conversant with the way children can be motivated, the MNLS should consider having a civic education with parents through meetings, workshops or seminars to assist the parents to understand the benefit of allowing their children to visit the library.

Despite improvements in the treatment of stroke, many individuals still face cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability and subsequent failure to return to work (RTW). The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize and discuss the literature relevant to factors affecting RTW for stroke survivors, summarize the identified gaps, and discuss steps occupational health nurses can take to facilitate RTW among stroke survivors. A literature search was conducted using the keywords: “stroke,” “cerebrovascular disease,” “return to work,” and “employment.” After excluding articles based on inclusion/exclusion criteria, 19 quantitative research articles were reviewed. Consistent themes found in the literature affecting RTW following stroke included physical, social, and cognitive factors. One of the most consistent predictors of RTW found was stroke severity. Individuals who experienced a mild to moderate stroke, those of Caucasian ethnicity, and higher socioeconomic levels were more likely to RTW. Findings suggest the importance of future studies to examine factors among African American stroke survivors that predict RTW and the role of occupational health nurses.

Research limitations – validation of the novel developed model dedicated for the measurement of social marketing impact on consumers choice for healthy lifestyle should be further validated with quantitative research methods. Practical implications – the application of the model will enable marketing specialists to determine the contents and other situational details of social marketing for consumers to choose healthy lifestyle and products related to it. Originality/Value – the value of the model is determined by its novel attitude to social marketing in parallel with other factors affecting consumer behaviour.
