( Nguyen Thi Thu Hang ),( Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan ) 부산외국어대학교 아세안연구원 2022 Suvannabhumi Vol.14 No.1

This article compares archetypal heroes in Nguyễn Huy Thiệp's “The Tiger’s Heart” and John Steinbeck's The Pearl. It aims to explore the voices of marginalized groups and ethnic minorities who suffer amidst the clash of civilizations. In exploring cultural communication between minority and mainstream communities as embodied by the archetypal heroes in the two works, this article highlights implications of resistance against values of the dominant. The method of "mythization" in modern Eastern and Western Literature, as this article argues, demonstrates the importance of minority discourses in as far as cultural conflicts in the globalizing world are concerned.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of organizational culture on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees in small and medium-sized enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The study hypothesized that organizational culture has a significant influence on employees’ satisfaction and that satisfaction also significantly impactsorganizational commitment among employees. The data are collected from a sample of 240 office employees. Structural Equation Modeling is used to determine the influence of organizational culture dimensions,including open working environment, salary, and rewards, empowerment, management style, corporate values, on employees’ satisfaction and organizational commitment. The findings showed that the five dimensions of organizational culture positively impact employees’ satisfaction and that job satisfaction significantly influences organizational commitment. Thus, job satisfaction serves as the bridge between organizational culture and commitment. The current study contributes to providing a practical insight into the relationships between organizational culture, employees’ job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Based on that, managers can develop suitable personnel policies for their organizations to simultaneously enhance employees’ performance and satisfaction, which makes them stay with the company.

Ngo Thi Nham`s Social Responsibility Ideas

진채옥 ( Tran Thi Thuy Ngoc ) 충남대학교 유학연구소 2015 儒學硏究 Vol.32 No.-

응오 티념(吳時任)은 시대성을 지니며 많은 분야에서 다양한 사상을 제시한 인물이다. 그는 큰 변동의 시대를 겪었으며, 세간에서 그에 대한 다양한 평가가 있었음에도 불구하고 18세기를 언급할 때는 언제나 응오 티 념이 빠질 수 없다. 그는 레-찐(黎-鄭)왕조에서 중요한 역할을 담당하며 이후 새롭게 일어선 떠이 썬(西山王朝, 레-찐 왕조를 무너뜨렸다)에서 중요한 관리가 된다. 그래서 그의 사상 속에는 그의 이런 복잡한 정치적 인생이 반영이 되어 있다. 18세기 베트남의 유명한 사상가인 응오 티 념은 국가의 여러 분야에 참여한 유학자였고 관직에서 물러난 후에는 유명한 선사(禪師)가 되었다. 이런 이유로 변화가 심한 특수한 상황 속에서 그의 사회적인 책임에 대한 생각은 과연 일관된 의미를 가진 것인가? 아니면 신하로서의 이익을 위해 역사적 흐름을 따르는 자의적(恣意的)인 것인 가? 이 글에서는 응오 티 념의 생각에서 서로 모순되고 충돌되는 양상과 함께 이 속에서 일관성과 변증적 원칙들을 살펴 사회적 책임에 대한 사상의 개념을 분석할 것이다. 또, 사회적 책임에 대한 사상은 본래 서양 경제학의 개념이지만 동양철학의 학설 중에 유교에서도 일찍부터 주목하며 관심을 가졌다는 것을 살펴볼 것이다. 사회적 변화의 환경 속에서 가장 뛰어난 사회적 책임을 실현하기 위한 철학을 선택하는 것은 시대의 움직임과 사상가들의 도전이다. 응오 티 념은 자신의 어려운 삶과 더불어 인민에 대한 사회적 책임의 정신으로서 시대의 난해한 물음에 대답을 하게 되었다. Ngo Thi Nham (1746 - 1803) was an epochal character whose thoughts are considered multi-faceted, multi-dimensional. He participated in the large fluctuations of the times; whether people liked him or not, judging him affirmatively or negatively, Ngo Thi Nham was always mentioned when issues related to the eighteenth century were under discussion. He made an important role to the Le-Trinh dynasty and after that, became a senior for Tay Son reign (which destroyed the Le-Trinh). That complicated political life was also reflected in his ideas. As one of the most known thinkers in Vietnam in the 18thcentury, he was a Confucian whom engaged in every change of the nation, and also a retreat Zen monk in the end of his life. Thus, does his social responsibility thought in such variable character have a consistent meaning, or arbitrary chased the history trend for serving personal benefits? This paper will explore the concept of Ngo Thi Nham``s social responsibility thoughts to point out the dialectical and consistent principles in them, though their appearances can be thought contradictory and conflicting to each other. This article also shows that, though social responsibility is an economics concept from the West, but it was always been early attentive from the perspective of Eastern philosophy, especially Confucianism . This concept was increasingly more attentionally in the context of social unrest. By this time, choose which philosophy to be the best performing social responsibility was a challenge to the thinkers and practicers of the era. Ngo Thi Nham had his answers for this conundrum by his social responsibility commitment through his life.

Thi Nhung NGUYEN(Thi Nhung NGUYEN ),Minh Hoa NGUYEN(Minh Hoa NGUYEN ),Thi Phuong Anh VU(Thi Phuong Anh VU ),Thi Hoang Anh DO(Thi Hoang Anh DO ) 한국유통과학회 2023 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.10 No.1

This research aims to give information about the current situation of five financial sources for climate change in Vietnam, including (i) the State budget used by ministries; (ii) the State budget used by provinces; (iii) Bilateral funds; (iv) Multilateral funds; and (v) Private funds, and then classify them in line with the effectiveness. The working paper’s secondary data on spending on CC-related activities, collected from reports of six ministries and 29 provinces, show that the State budget has been crucial in subsidizing CC-related activities in Vietnam. Moreover, domestic investment has accounted for a major part of the total expenditure of ministries and provinces for climate change. In addition, by using primary data collected from surveys sent to twelve experts from 5 groups, such as researchers, practical experts, managers of private funding organizations (such as banks and enterprises), managers of international funding organizations and beneficiaries, and then analyzing the data through the AHP method, the study shows that all climate finance sources in Vietnam are still not very effective. However, private sector funds are considered the most effective financial source for responding to climate change.

Objective: The rapid and reliable detection of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) plays an important role in emergency control and preventive measures of ASF. Some methods have been recommended by FAO/OIE to detect ASFV in clinical samples, including real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, mismatches in primer and probe binding regions may cause a false-negative result. Here, a slight modification in probe sequence has been conducted to improve the qualification of real-time PCR based on World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) protocol for accurate detection of ASFV in field samples in Vietnam. Methods: Seven positive confirmed samples (four samples have no mismatch, and three samples contained one mutation in probe binding sites) were used to establish novel real-time PCR with slightly modified probe (Y = C or T) in comparison with original probe recommended by OIE. Results: Both real-time PCRs using the OIE-recommended probe and novel modified probe can detect ASFV in clinical samples without mismatch in probe binding site. A high correlation of cycle quantification (Cq) values was observed in which Cq values obtained from both probes arranged from 22 to 25, suggesting that modified probe sequence does not impede the qualification of real-time PCR to detect ASFV in clinical samples. However, the samples with one mutation in probe binding sites were ASFV negative with OIE recommended probe but positive with our modified probe (Cq value ranked between 33.12-35.78). Conclusion: We demonstrated for the first time that a mismatch in probe binding regions caused a false negative result by OIE recommended real-time PCR, and a slightly modified probe is required to enhance the sensitivity and obtain an ASF accurate diagnosis in field samples in Vietnam.

Purpose: The paper employs the theory of planned behaviour, social identity theory, social presence theory, and social exchange theory to propose a model for using the social media platform Facebook in distributing information in universities. Research design, data and methodology: Data were obtained from 618 students at Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI) in Vietnam. The study used structural equation modeling in SPSS and the statistical analysis software AMOS version 24 to explore the information distribution role of Facebook. Results: Findings reveal that subjective norms and social presence play a key role in driving students to use Facebook for studying. In addition, university administrators can boost student satisfaction and academic achievement through Facebook. Interestingly, students who strongly identify with the brand name of the university have a strong connection with the university are more likely to engage in behaviors supportive toward the university. Conclusions: These findings show that Facebook had played a key information distribution role in universities. Thus, the study provides the executive board of the university and teachers can gain new understanding of why students employ Facebook for studying as well as capitalize on the platform to improve several operational metrics such as brand identification, student satisfaction, and academic achievement.

Determinants of unhealthy living by gender, age group, and chronic health conditions across districts in Korea using the 2010-2017 Community Health Surveys

Thi Tra Bui(Thi Tra Bui ),Thi Huyen Trang Nguyen(Thi Huyen Trang Nguyen ),Jinhee Lee(Jinhee Lee),Sun Young Kim(Sun Young Kim),Jin-Kyoung Oh(Jin-Kyoung Oh) 한국역학회 2024 Epidemiology and Health Vol.46 No.-

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the prevalence and determinants of unhealthy living by gender, age, and comorbidities across Korean districts. METHODS: For 806,246 men and 923,260 women from 245 districts who participated in the 2010-2017 Korean Community Health Surveys, risk scores were calculated based on obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, and high-risk alcohol consumption, each scored from 0 (lowest risk) to 2 (highest risk). A risk score ≥4 was defined as indicating unhealthy living, and weighted proportions were calculated for each district. Using multivariate regression, an ecological model including community socioeconomic, interpersonal, and neighborhood factors was examined by gender, age, and comorbidities. RESULTS: The mean age-standardized rate of unhealthy living was 24.05% for men and 4.91% for women (coefficients of variation, 13.94% and 29.51%, respectively). Individuals with chronic diseases more frequently exhibited unhealthy lifestyles. Unhealthy lifestyles were associated with educational attainment (β-coefficients: men, -0.21; women, -0.15), high household income (β=0.08 and 0.03, respectively), pub density (β=0.52 and 0.22, respectively), and fast-food outlet density (β=2.81 and 1.63, respectively). Negative associations were observed with manual labor, social activity participation, and hospital bed density. Unhealthy living was positively associated with living alone among women and with being unemployed among middle-aged men. Access to parks was negatively associated with unhealthy living among young men and women. The ecological model explained 32% of regional variation in men and 41% in women. CONCLUSIONS: Improving the neighborhood built and socioeconomic environment may reduce regional disparities in lifestyle behaviors; however, the impacts may vary according to socio-demographic traits and comorbidities.
