This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Conferences ICCASA and ICTCC 2020, held in November 2020 in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 68 submissions. The papers of ICCASA cover a wide spectrum in the area of context-aware-systems. CAS is characterized by its self- facets such as self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, self-protection used to dynamically control computing and networking functions. The papers of ICTCC cover formal methods for self-adaptive systems and discuss natural approaches and techniques for computation and communication.
This Selected Issues explores Japan’s experiences with past valued added tax (VAT) rate increases and discusses potential policy options to mitigate the economic impact of a third-rate increase. It assesses the impact on the Japanese economy and, where possible, provides some international context. Alongside possible mitigating policies, it also discusses the importance of policy commitment and credibility, and how they can influence the macroeconomic impact of tax rate changes. Carefully designing policy measures and communicating them clearly to the public are paramount to attenuate any negative outcomes in the short term. A simple, single-rate VAT would efficiently raise tax revenues and support the government’s objective of achieving fiscal consolidation in the medium term. Assuming underlying macroeconomic conditions are favorable, the October 2019 VAT rate increase could potentially have a smaller impact on the economy relative to that of 2014 for several reasons. In order to reduce policy uncertainty and alleviate any adverse impacts from the 2019 VAT rate increase, the authorities should clearly communicate the timing and content of associated mitigating measures.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the first International Conference on Context-Aware Systems and Applications, ICCASA 2012, held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in November 2012. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and reviewed from over 100 submissions. The papers cover a wide spectrum of issues in the area of Context-Aware Systems (CAS). CAS are going to shape networked computing systems of the future
This book constitutes the 11th EAI International Conference of the International Conference on Context-Aware Systems and Applications, ICCASA 2022, held in Vinh Long, Vietnam, during October 27-28, 2022. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 40 submissions. The papers cover a wide spectrum of modern approaches and techniques for smart computing systems and their applications.
This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Nature of Computation and Communication, ICTCC 2016, held in March 2016 in Rach Gia, Vietnam. The 36 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions. The papers cover formal methods for self-adaptive systems and discuss natural approaches and techniques for computation and communication.
Within the last twenty years a large-scale bottom-up privatization has taken place in Vietnam, changing and dismantling the public health care system. This process has led to severe tensions inherent in the transitional society of Vietnam between equity and access to health care support - especially for the poor, elderly, migrants, and ethnic minorities - on the one hand, and its efficiency on the other hand. The book traces the reform efforts to modernize the health care system by the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese government. The author bases her findings on little known primary literature and interviews with key stakeholders of the policy network involved in the reform of the health care system, thereby painting an authentic atmospheric picture of the profound changes in the health care system in Vietnam.
This is the incredible story of Bao Luong, Vietnam’s first female political prisoner. In 1927, when she was just 18, Bao Luong left her village home to join Ho Chi Minh’s Revolutionary Youth League and fight both for national independence and for women’s equality. A year later, she became embroiled in the Barbier Street murder, a crime in which unruly passion was mixed with revolutionary ardor. Weaving together Bao Luong’s own memoir with excerpts from newspaper articles, family gossip, and official documents, this book by Bao Luong’s niece takes us from rural life in the Mekong Delta to the bustle of colonial Saigon. It provides a rare snapshot of Vietnam in the first decades of the twentieth century and a compelling account of one woman’s struggle to make a place for herself in a world fraught with intense political intrigue.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Future Data and Security Engineering, FDSE 2020, held in Quy Nhon, Vietnam, in November 2020.* The 29 full papers and 8 short were carefully reviewed and selected from 161 submissions. The selected papers are organized into the following topical headings: big data analytics and distributed systems; security and privacy engineering; industry 4.0 and smart city: data analytics and security; data analytics and healthcare systems; machine learning-based big data processing; emerging data management systems and applications; and short papers: security and data engineering. * The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the first anthropological studies based on extensive fieldwork in Vietnam in decades, Embodying Morality examines child-rearing in a rural Red River delta commune. It is a sophisticated and intriguing exploration of the ways in which a family system based on principles of male descent influences the moral upbringing and learning of girls and boys. In Vietnamese culture boys alone perpetuate the patrilineal family line; they incorporate the past, present, and future morality, honor, and reputation of their father's lineage. Within this patrilineal universe, girls are viewed as blank sheets of paper and must compensate for this deficiency by embodying tinh cam (sensitivity, sense). Such...
