Dao Thi Hai Thanh 한국베트남학회 2023 한국베트남학회 학술대회 Vol.2023 No.10

Khai Hung is a remarkable novelist of the Self-Reliant Literary Group. Many of his works clearly show the influence of Vietnamese folk tales, including the novel Trong Mai. The novel is in the fairy background of Sam Son - Thanh Hoa region with a familiar symbol in folklore, which is the Trong Mai rocks. From the perspective of landscape criticism, this article aims to decipher the overlapping layers of meaning of this symbol in the novel. So doing, this helps to clarify the writer's meanings and opens up the possibility of rethinking the ideal and romantic in Khai Hung's novels. Additionally, it contributes to emphasizing the role of folklore in creating the literary talent of Khai Hung.

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine has been a leading concern worldwide. Artificial intelligence-based systems not only support storing a large amount of data but also assist doctors in making a diagnosis. In addition, deep learning has obtained numerous achievements that greatly supported the development of image-based diagnostic methods. On the other hand, deep learning models still work as a black box that makes interpreting the output a challenge. Diagnosis based on images is currently a trend that plays a key role in clinical treatment by discovering abnormal regions for disease diagnosis. This paper proposes a computer-aid diagnosis system to support a pleural effusion diagnosis based on Chest X-ray (CXR) images. This study investigated several shallow convolutional neural network architectures that classify CXR images as well as the technique for processing imbalanced data using oversampling technology. The best model in the experiments was chosen to generate explanations using the Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) to support providing signals for pleural effusion diagnosis. The proposed method is expected to provide more informative CXR images of the pleural effusion diagnosis process.

Objectives: The incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased, particularly among individuals who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Health literacy is considered a “social vaccine” that helps people respond effectively to the pandemic. We aimed to investigate the association between long COVID-19 and PTSD, and to examine the modifying role of health literacy in this association.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 18 hospitals and health centers in Vietnam from December 2021 to October 2022. We recruited 4,463 individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 infection for at least 4 weeks. Participants provided information about their sociodemographics, clinical parameters, health-related behaviors, health literacy (using the 12-item short-form health literacy scale), long COVID-19 symptoms and PTSD (Impact Event Scale-Revised score of 33 or higher). Logistic regression models were used to examine associations and interactions.Results: Out of the study sample, 55.9% had long COVID-19 symptoms, and 49.6% had PTSD. Individuals with long COVID-19 symptoms had a higher likelihood of PTSD (odds ratio [OR], 1.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63–2.12; p<0.001). Higher health literacy was associated with a lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97–0.99; p=0.001). Compared to those with long COVID-19 symptoms and the lowest health literacy score, those with long COVID-19 symptoms and a 1-point health literacy increment had a 3% lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96–0.99; p=0.001).Conclusion: Health literacy was found to be a protective factor against PTSD and modified the negative impact of long COVID-19 symptoms on PTSD.

Study on DPPH Free Radical Scavenging and Lipid Peroxidation Inhibitory Activities of Vietnamese Medicinal Plants

Phan Thi Anh Dao,Nguyen Xuan Hai,Nguyen Trung Nhan,Tran Le Quan,Nguyen Thi Thanh Mai 한국생약학회 2012 Natural Product Sciences Vol.18 No.1

Among 90 Vietnamese medicinal plant extracts investigated for their antioxidant activity by DPPH assay at various concentrations from 10 - 100 ?g/mL, 67 showed an inhibition rate over 50% at 100 ?g/mL; 47 had greater than 50% inhibition at 50 ?g/mL; 17 showed over 50% inhibition at 25 ?g/mL. 8 extracts which exhibited strong inhibitory activity more than 50% inhibition at 10 ?g/mL were further tested for lipid peroxidation inhibition by TBA assay. They displayed activity with IC50 values from 30.6 to 158.9 ?g/mL. Until now, this is the first report on antioxidant activity of the female flower of Borassus flabellifer, and the stem of Combretum latifolium, Embelia ribes, Spatholobus parviflorus, and Tetrastigma erubescens. Fractionations of the EtOAc extract prepared from S. parviflorus led to the isolation of protocatechuic acid (1), ferulic acid (2), epicatechin (3), and gallic acid (4). These compounds showed significant DPPH inhibitory activity with IC50 values from 6.5 to 23.6 ?M.

4G Adoption : A Survey of Vietnam Market

Tapanainen, Tommi,Dao, Trung Kien,Nguyen, Thanh Hien,Nguyen, Thi Thanh Hai Korea Data Strategy Society 2019 Journal of information technology applications & m Vol.26 No.1

The aim of this study is to assess the impacts of service properties, price expectancy, social influences, and switching costs on adoption intention of 4G in Vietnam. The research model was established by the theory of diffusion of innovation, technology acceptance model, service quality, social influences and switching costs. The result from customers using telecommunication services in Vietnam shows that adoption intention of 4G is affected directly by perceived usefulness, personal innovativeness, price expectancy, social influences, prior service quality and switching costs. Whereas, switching costs have negative effect on adoption intention. Other factors such as personal innovativeness, perceived ease of use and prior service quality have an indirect effect on adoption intention of 4G.

The role of corporate image and privacy concerns in adopting online travel services

TAPANAINEN TOMMI,Nguyen, Thi Thanh Hai,Dao, Kien Trung 한국정보시스템학회 2019 情報시스템硏究 Vol.28 No.3

Purpose: This study examines the role of corporate image and privacy concerns in intention to use of online travel services using data from Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach: The data collection was implemented to a student sample at the Foreign Trade University in Hanoi, which has a high concentration of young people who are interested in online travel in Vietnam. The paper based questionnaire was directly delivered to the respondents. After sorting to eliminate unfit samples, the number of responses was 541, which exceeds 500, the minimum number typically required. To test the hypotheses, we applied structural equation modeling (SEM) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the reliability and validity of constructs in the model. We also used direct, indirect and total effect coefficient to evaluate the total impact of factors on the intention to use online services. Findings: This study found that corporate image is positively associated to intention to use online services. It found a link between corporate image and privacy concerns, which suggests another way for firms to address their customers’ privacy concerns; corporate image, which has received great attention in traditional offline sales channels, but not in online services, should receive higher attention in IS research. Online travel businesses, besides increasing ease of use, perceived usefulness and trust in their services, should focus on build a reliable corporate image, which can not only promote the service use but also help to eliminate users’ the privacy concerns.

An Extension of Theory of Planned Behavior for in-App Advertisements: The Case of Vietnamese Young Mobile Users

Tommi Tapanainen,Trung Kien Dao,Thi Thanh Hai Nguyen,Thi Anh Duong Pham,Danh Nguyen Nguyen 한국데이타베이스학회 2020 Journal of information technology applications & m Vol.27 No.1

In-app advertisement is a fast-growing trend in mobile advertising, where user acceptance of ads is facilitated by the fact that users have voluntarily downloaded the app through which the ad is served. However, research in this ad category is limited. This study applies an extended version of the theory of planned behavior. Analysis results from 412 young mobile users in Vietnam using structural equation modeling showed that while localization and perceived enjoyment affected user intention to watch in-app ads as expected, perceived behavioral control and trust did not. Such results may be due to embedding the ads to applications, confusing users’ behavioral intentions. The results underline the need for more future research in the area. In practical terms, companies should improve localization and entertainment aspects of ads to create more relevant and engaging advertisements.
