Purpose: to amplify students' voices and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on improving reading comprehension standards in Vietnamese high schools. Methods: the experiment was conducted with 10th grade students, in Hanoi city, in which one school is in the suburbs and one is in the inner-city. The total number of students participating in the experiment is 165, of which 75 students are in the city and 90 in the suburbs. Results: the results of this study provide valuable insights into the academic performance and achievement levels of students in both multiple-choice and essay-based assessments. The findings reveal several key patterns and variations among the students. Conclusion: the development of reading comprehension standards should ensure that the steps in the process range from determining competence, determining elements, indicators, and quality criteria, to testing and adjusting the designed standard. The above assessment standards for reading comprehension are the basis for teachers and schools to have a basis for teaching and assessment to ensure the required requirements of the program.

PurposeThis paper aims to explore how research and development (R&D) scientists and engineers can contribute to sustainability initiatives in their organisations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses a critical case study methodology, focussed on a large Vietnamese company in which business leaders sought to engage R&D scientists and engineers in sustainability initiatives focussed on eco-innovation and eco-efficiency. Bourdieu's theoretical lens of habitus, capitals and field facilitates a relational analysis of the findings.FindingsWhile R&D scientists and engineers adapted well to early changes aligned with eco-innovation, they struggled to engage with sustainability initiatives in the case firm. This study explains adaptions and constraints as scientists and engineers' professional habitus and capitals, and their broader organisational field.Practical implicationsThis paper provides insight into how organisations might integrate professional acculturation and appropriate facilitators to promote the additional contribution of scientists and engineers to sustainability initiatives in the context of an organisation.Social implicationsAlthough eco-innovation and eco-efficiency are only potential dimensions of comprehensive organisational sustainability reform, this research provides insight into how engaging scientists and engineers with a broader social sustainability agenda might be advanced.Originality/valueThe study addresses calls for empirical insights into ways that scientists and engineers can commit to organisational sustainability practices based on the configurations of habitus, capital and organisational field.

What does it take for ordinary citizens to risk everything to protest living under a repressive government? What takes them beyond the brink, to the "boiling point"? In his graphic novel 100°C, celebrated webtoon and comics artist Choi Kyu-sok sheds a light on these questions by examining the lives of one family caught up in the great social unrest that developed under Chun Doo-hwan's regime and culminated in the June 1987 Uprising. Crucial to understanding the events of the summer of 1987 is the recognition of both the political context and the dynamics of the nationwide effort that included students, office workers, and religious and labor groups--all of whom came together to demand a new constitution and free elections. Choi's is a measured yet powerful representation of a pivotal moment in Korean history, when individuals questioned the status quo, when parents joined their children to express their grievances and agitate for democratic reforms, when an entire nation chose to move in a new direction.
