  Rabies is a dangerous infectious disease with a nearly 100% fatality rate. Veterinary students at the Vietnam National University of Agriculture, particularly those who are raising dogs and/or cats, are at high risk of exposure due to frequent contact with animals. This study was conducted to assess students’ levels of exposure, knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding rabies prevention in this group of students, while also examining the influence of gender on these aspects. This survey found that 82.71% had been bitten or scratched by dogs or cats, indicating a significant risk of exposure. Overall assessment results showed that 55.6% of students scored in the “Good” range (9-11 points), 34.1% in the “Moderate” range (7-8 points), and 10.3% in the “Low” range (0-6 points), reflecting a generally solid foundation in rabies-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between male and female students in these aspects. However, the findings also revealed that post-exposure wound care skills were still limited, highlighting the need to strengthen practical training to help students prevent rabies and improve their ability to respond effectively in real-world veterinary settings.

  The low-carbon rice farming technique has proven to deliver the triple wins that include economic, social and environmental benefits from the reduction of inputs (seed, fertilizer, agro-chemical and water); increase of rice yield, increase the social linkages among rice farmers in their communities by the sharing the common farming practices; and at the same time reduce significantly the greenhouse gas emissions from rice cultivation, protection of the water resource from pollution and the overdose as well as the ecological system. The low carbon rice farming technique is therefore urged to scale-up through the transfer of technology to the intensive rice cultivation provinces. In order to understand thoroughly about this low carbon rice farming technique and its essentiality, this paper discusses the concepts, essentiality, characteristics and the key major factorsaffecting the effectiveness and efficiency of the process of technology transfer. At the same time, this paper also seeksto discuss and draw the experience and lesson learnt in applying and implementing the low carbon rice farming technique from both foreign countries and within Vietnam in order to consolidate the theoretical and practical issues of this contemporary advanced farming technique.
