Environmental Benefits of Geopolymers
The global concerns about environmental sustainability have roused interest in innovative green technologies, including those related to geopolymer production. Geopolymers are aluminosilicate synthetic materials obtained from a reactive powder of silicon and aluminium (i.e., precursor) mixed with an activating alkaline solution (i.e., activator), whose process is commonly named the alkali activation process. Moreover, their structure makes them very versatile thanks to some features, namely chemical attacks and fire resistance, thus suitable in different sectors, particularly in the building and restoration ones.

Extended Work Availability
Extended work availability (EWA) captures the experience of an employee who needs to be available for job demands during nonworking hours. It is a ubiquitous phenomenon because of the prevalent use of information and communication technology (ICT) such as mobile devices and internet services for work purposes. Valuable knowledge on this topic has emerged from at least two types of study. First, technology-oriented research usually stresses the role of the latest technologies adopted in the workplace. By facilitating the adoption of these technologies in the workplace, managers might help employees to decrease their working time, especially beyond normal business hours. Second, management-oriented research tends to emphasize the role of managerial strategies managers take in the workplace.

Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Financial Performance
In the post-epidemic era, more and more enterprises have realized the crucial significance of corporate social responsibility for enterprise development. It was found that (1) companies with good corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance show a high level of financial performance (FP); (2) the higher the media’s attention on the company, the better the CSR performance; and (3) based on the nature of the emotion, the researchers divided media attention into positive and negative reports. Positive reports weaken the positive impact of CSR on financial performance, while negative reports reinforce this positive effect. These empirical findings remain robust after controlling for endogeneity and employing alternative variable measures.

Deal of the Day
Deal-of-the-day (also called daily deal or flash sales or one deal a day) is an ecommerce business model in which a website offers a single product for sale for a period of 24 to 36 hours. Potential customers register as members of the deal-a-day websites and receive online offers and invitations by email or social networks. (As of 2011), deal-of-the-day sites have continued to grow in popularity, although new concerns have arisen over the longevity of the concept and the financial viability of one-day deals for small businesses.

Likeability Attributes of Online Video Advertisements
As online video viewing increases, so does the size of the online video advertising market. However, it is challenging to create an advertising creative suitable for online video services. Advertising likeability helps to provide the strategies necessary for producing video advertisements that can facilitate consumer responsiveness and generate persuasive effects. With the development of IT and the activation of various media, more online content has been produced and consumed. Especially as social media platforms such as YouTube were introduced, online video advertisements based on such media have drawn a lot of attention. Compared to traditional advertisements, online video advertisements give viewers more freedom to choose what they view. For this reason, it is important to compel consumers to watch online advertisements for longer or in their entirety.

What Does Vietnam Gain When Its Currency Depreciates?
A depreciating currency theoretically supports exports. A weak currency means that domestic goods are cheaper abroad. Therefore, it increases both exports and stock prices, as more businesses raise their capital through the securities market, pushing up the stock price.
