Entrepreneurship brings countless values to each individual and practical benefits to society and the economy. Recently, the call for a better understanding of entrepreneurship from corporations and governments is regularly voiced the day, both in the academic literature and in public discussions. This study examines factors influencing the startup decision of young people in Vietnam. Primary data was collected from an online survey and then imported into an Excel file before being analyzed by SPSS 22. The total number of relevant observations for the study is 656, using numerous statistical approaches such as EFA and multiple regression analyses. This study contributes to the existing literature and current practice by suggesting six major determinants of startup intention: self-expectation, personal attitudes, self-competency, perceived feasibility, entrepreneurial orientation, and financial wealth. Among these factors, self-competency and entrepreneurial orientation are statistically significant, indicating that the capability of young people is the most important determinant of their startup intention. Additionally, the results indicate that self-expectation, attitude, perceived feasibility, and finance do not impact students’ intention to pursue entrepreneurship. We suggest that by enhancing the training quality of universities, young people will be provided with much essential knowledge and technical skills for running a business.

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.

The development of the ethnic minorities and mountainous areas (EMMA) is currently receiving the attention of countries around the world. This is demonstrated through a large number of studies, in many respects, in many different countries. The objective of the study is to find out the current situation of the commodity market in the ethnic minorities and mountainous areas (EMMA) of Vietnam. In particular, the authors will study whether there is a link between the ability to access governmental policies and the characteristics of this commodity market. To achieve the goal, the authors employed the secondary data collection method to gather the relevant information on government policies for EMMA and conducted an interview of seventy (70) enterprises in the Northern midlands and mountainous regions and the Central Coast to clarify the characteristics of commodity market. By Levene’s test, the results showed that the accessibility to governmental policies has a certain influence on the development of the commodity market patterns in the EMMA in terms of diversification of distribution forms and sales method of the business. These findings brought some basic solutions to further enhance the role of the government in developing commodity markets in the EMMA of Vietnam.

Truong Duong Thuy Thi,Tran Trang Huyen Thi,Nguyen Tam Thanh Thi,Tran Van Hong Thi 한국영양학회 2022 Nutrition Research and Practice Vol.16 No.5

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Although children of ethnic minority groups are experiencing a transition from a predominance of undernutrition to overnutrition, there is little evidence of a dual-malnutrition burden. Therefore, this study examined the double burden of malnutrition among school-aged ethnic minority children living in mountainous areas and its association with their diets. SUBJECTS/METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2019 to March 2020 in 3 mountainous areas of Northern Vietnam among 1,556 ethnic minority school-aged children. The prevalence of under-nutrition (stunting and thinness) and over-nutrition (overweight and obesity) were measured using the WHO 2006 child growth standards (height-for-age and BMI-for-age Z-score). Nutritional practices were evaluated by the frequency of food consumption based on a 4-level scale. RESULTS The percentage of children with stunting and thinness were 14.0% and 5.4%, respectively, while the figure for overweight/obesity was 9.4%. The factors positively associated with stunting were living in a family with more than 2 children or being Muong/other ethnicities compared to the Tay ethnicity. Children who consumed fish/shrimps/crabs or milk weekly/daily were less likely to be undernourished compared to those who never consumed these foods. By contrast, children who never consumed foods rich in vitamin A precursors and vitamin A and fruit or consumed daily snacks/junk food were more likely to be overweight/obese. CONCLUSIONS Undernutrition remains a common issue among school-aged children and adolescents of ethnic minority groups, while over-nutrition exists simultaneously. Public health nutrition programs promoting adequate diets and positive lifestyle changes related to nutrition are essential to tackle the double burden of malnutrition among ethnic minority children.

Self-assembled nanoaggregates based on polyaspartamide graft copolymers for pH-controlled release of doxorubicin

Thuy, Van Tran Thi,Lim, Cheol Won,Park, Jae Hyung,Ahn, Cheol-Hee,Kim, Dukjoon The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015 Journal of Materials Chemistry B Vol.3 No.15

<P>A series of biodegradable copolymers based on polyaspartamide (PASPAM) were synthesized by grafting hydrophilic <I>O</I>-(2-aminoethyl)-<I>O</I>′-methylpoly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG), hydrophobic cholic acid (CA), and pH-sensitive hydrazone (Hyd) segments on a PASPAM backbone. The hydrazone group was effectively cleaved to release doxorubicin (DOX) conjugated on PASPAM in an acidic environment. The chemical structure of the polymer and the degree of substitution of each graft segment were analyzed using FT-IR and <SUP>1</SUP>H-NMR spectroscopy. The size of the MPEG/Hyd/CA-<I>g</I>-PASPAM copolymer self-aggregates was examined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mean diameter of the self-aggregates increased from 125 to 200 nm at pH 7.4, as the degree of substitution of CA increased from 10 to 20%. The release kinetics of DOX was strongly affected by the pH of the releasing medium. While less than 30% of the DOX loaded was released in about 30 h at pH 7.4, more than 60% was released at pH 5.0 within the same time. The viability tests of human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and human embryonic kidney cells (293T) show the potential application of MPEG/Hyd/CA-<I>g</I>-PASPAM copolymer self-aggregates in the controlled intracellular delivery for cancer treatment.</P>

Tran Thi Hoang Oanh,Nguyen Thi Yen Hoai,Pham Thi Thuy 한국보건의료인국가시험원 2021 보건의료교육평가 Vol.18 No.-

Purpose: Simulation teaching refers to the replication of real-life scenarios, enabling students to practice nursing skills and learn actively in a safe environment. It also helps students control their anxiety and fears when caring for real patients. This study investigated the relationships of Vietnamese nursing students’ self-confidence in clinical practice with their satisfaction and self-confidence in simulation- based practice. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 182 nursing students. The data collection included 2 separate stages with 2 main questionnaires. The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale was used to measure students’ satisfaction and self-confidence after learning in the simulation room. The Confidence Scale was used to measure students’ self-confidence when first performing techniques on actual patients. Data were analyzed by descriptive and Pearson correlation statistics. Results: Students’ satisfaction and self-confidence during the simulation course were quite high (mean±standard deviation [SD], 4.06±0.48 and 4.11±0.46 out of 5.0, respectively). In contrast, their confidence when first practicing on a patient was moderate (mean±SD, 3.19±0.62 out of 5.0). Students’ satisfaction showed moderate and weak positive correlations with self-confidence in pre-clinical practice and in clinical practice (r=0.33, P<0.001 and r=0.26, P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Simulation has become an effective teaching strategy that can help nursing students be well-prepared for clinical placements in Vietnam. An effective nursing education strategy is needed to enhance the satisfaction and self-confidence of nursing students in simulation and then in clinical practice to help achieve professional engagement and development.
