The Social

This paper describes how the social capital of rice farmers of the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, as manifested in the tradition of collective farming practice, has changed. Collective rice farming persisted for decades, irrespective of critical events that challenged its continuation, due to two key factors: the high need for collective farming to ensure subsistence, and the availability of a closely knit social network that facilitated the exchange of labor. Despite its longevity, the practice of collective farming, particularly in terms of labor exchange and mutual aid in farming activities, has not been maintained under current agrarian reforms. Land reform, increased mechanization, and shortened crop cycles leading to labor shortages have all resulted in individualized rice farming, making mobilization for spontaneous collective action at the community level challenging.

The epidemic situation and etiological factors of enterovirus infection in Russia and Vietnam were analysed and compared. The identified strains of enteroviruses of 47 types, which circulated in Russia in 2018–2019, belonged to different species: Enterovirus species A (CV-A2, CV-A4, CV-A6, CV-A8, CV-A10, CV-A16, EV-A71), as well as Enterovirus species B and Enterovirus species C. The strains isolated from 87 children from southern Vietnam hospitalised in 2018–2019 into infectious hospitals while having enterovirus infection with exanthema were also studied. All identified strains were represented by Enterovirus species A: EV-A71 — 59 strains, CV-A10 — 20 strains, CV-A16 — 5 strains, CV-A6 — two strains and CV-A2 — one strain. Out of 59 viruses EV-A71, 53 strains belonged to genotype C4 and 6 strains belonged to genotype B5. The sequences of EV-A71 strains of genotype C4 from South Vietnam formed a monophyletic cluster with the sequences of EV-A71 viruses which circulated during 2016–2018 in different provinces of China, and they were very close to EV-A71 strains of the same genotype from the Yunnan Province. These strains were genetically different from Russian viruses and Vietnamese viruses identified in the years 2003–2005 and 2011– 2012. Most of the cases of enterovirus infection from southern Vietnam (78%) caused by EV-A71 virus of genotype C4 were reported in three provinces located in southern Vietnam in the Mekong Delta. The epidemic process and the etiology of enterovirus infection in Russia and Vietnam have common features. At the same time, the epidemic situation in these countries is not the same. The incidence of enterovirus infection is influenced by geographic, climatic, economic and demographic factors that differ in two countries. In the majority of territories of Russia, the climate is temperate or cold, seasonal rises in the incidence rates of enterovirus infection usually occur in the summer, when people go on vacation, spend a lot of time outdoors and swim in open reservoirs. In Vietnam, a constant high-level temperature, a high population density and a large proportion of children determine the higher incidence of enterovirus infection, especially in the southern provinces of Vietnam, compared to Russia. The fact that more than 20% of the Vietnamese population lives in the Mekong Delta, which is the largest river in Indochina, has a significant impact on the epidemic process of enterovirus infection in South Vietnam. The Mekong River which flows through China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, and carries huge streams of water, including rainstorm waters and sewages, from all of these countries into the southern provinces of Vietnam, which have the highest incidence rates of enterovirus infection in the country. The results of the research underline the importance of active epidemiological and virological surveillance of enterovirus infection, which plays the key role in informing the public health authorities about the changes in the epidemic situation in order to take appropriate measures and develop the prevention strategies. The goal of anti-epidemic and preventive measures is to reduce the incidence of enterovirus infection and the economic burden of this infection for Russia and Vietnam.

Set Up

The Mekong estuarine system is a sensitive region which is strongly effected from economic activities in the south Vietnam. This ecosystem is not only impacted by anthropogenic factors but also known as one of severely affected areas by climate change. The issue of environmental management in this estuarine system is very important and necessary. Many coastal provinces in the Mekong delta have awareness of environmental estuarine management to set up bio-monitoring programs for water and ecological quality. However, there is no province including meiobenthos or nematode communities in environmental bio-monitoring while they are clearly proven to be a helpful bio-indicator. This paper concerns to some baseline data of meiobenthos and nematode communities in this region to recommend applying nematode in meiobenthos communities for environmental bio – monitoring and management in the Mekong estuarine area. Hệ thống cửa sông Cửu Long là vùng sinh thái nhạy cảm và đang chịu tác động mạnh mẽ từ các hoạt động kinh tế ven biển của các tỉnh miền Tây Nam Bộ. Hệ sinh thái khu vực này không những bị ảnh hưởng trực tiếp từ con người mà còn được biết đến như một trong những khu vực bị tác động nặng nề bởi biến đổi khí hậu. Vấn đề về quản lý môi trường ở hệ thống cửa sông này đã hết sức cần thiết. Các tỉnh trong khu vực ven biển đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long cũng đã ý thức được tính nguy cấp trong công tác quản lý môi trường cửa sông ven biển và xây dụng các chương trình quan trắc chất lượng nước và hệ sinh thái. Tuy nhiên, hầu như chưa có tỉnh nào ven biển đồng bằng sông Cửu Long đưa động vật đáy, đặc biệt là tuyến trùng vào các chương trình quan trắc và giám sát môi trường trong khi các công trình nghiên cứu trên thế giới đã chứng minh khả năng chỉ thị chính xác của chúng. Bài viết phân tích cơ sở, các số liệu động vật đáy cỡ trung bình và tuyến trùng khuyến nghị đưa vào công tác giám sát, quản lý môi trường cửa sông ven biển đồng bằng sông Cửu Long.

The 1960S

Attempts by the U.S. government to enact land redistribution in the Republic of Vietnam began in the mid-1950s. At that time. land reform was a linchpin of U.S. foreign policy in Asia. Wolf Ladejinsky, author of the legislation that had virtually eliminated tenancy in occupied Japan, encountered political controversy in Washington and administrative challenges in Saigon in his attempt to bring about greater equality of land ownership in South Vietnam. This initial attempt to modify land tenure arrangements failed when redistribution stalled, far from complete, during 1961. Although new land reform legislation did not appear until 1970, the 1960s were by no means years of inaction on land reform. Years of behind-the-scenes efforts by American policymakers in Washington and Saigon culminated in the Land-to-the-Tiller Law, an ambitious but doomed attempt to complete the work that Ladejinsky had begun over a decade earlier. Documents from the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, many newly declassified, suggest that bureaucratic intrigue and political infighting within the Johnson administration and Congress both hindered and facilitated the emergence of a new land reform program in war-ravaged South Vietnam.

Study Participants

The present study aimed to investigate students’ learner autonomy (LA) at tertiary education in Vietnam. The study participants were 60 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students from a single rural university, South Vietnam. Narrative interview was used to collect the required data. The findings disclosed that most of them had positive views of LA as well as its role at higher education. Yet, in LA practices, they gained achievements of different degrees and related problems were found. Thereby, it implied that since LA was a long process, students should patiently keep on cultivating it by virtue of both their own sufcient ongoing efforts and instructor’s supports in need.
