Improving Measurement of Multidimensional Child Poverty in Vietnam

This study analyses multidimensional child poverty in Vietnam, using a child-specific measure of poverty that captures the dimensions of wellbeing that are most relevant to children. Vietnam has experienced a rapid and robust decrease in multidimensional child poverty in recent years. All the indicators of multidimensional child poverty decreased over the period 2010-2014, except for a slight increase in calorie consumption. Multi-dimensional child poverty in Viet Nam sharply decreased in the period 2010-2014, with the proportion of children deprived in more than one fifth of the dimensions falling more than 10 percentage points. Although multi-dimensional child poverty has declined in different groups of children, the poverty gap among some groups of children remains high. For instance, the multidimensional poverty rate of ethnic minority children was 52.3%, while the Kinh majority was 12.3% (at the cut-off level of one fifth) by 2014

Synergic Effect of CaI and LiI on Ionic Conductivity of Solution-Based Synthesized Li7P3S11 Solid Electrolyte

Li7P3S11 doped with CaX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) and LiI solid electrolytes were successfully prepared by liquid-phase synthesis using acetonitrile as the reaction medium. Their structure was investigated using XRD, Raman spectroscopy and SEM-EDS. The data obtained from complex impedance spectroscopy was analyzed to study the ionic conductivity and relaxation dynamics in the prepared samples. The XRD results suggested that a part of CaX2 and LiI incorporated into the structure of Li7P3S11, while the remaining part existed at the grain boundary of the Li7P3S11 particle. The Raman peak positions of PS43- and P2S74- ions in samples 90Li7P3S11-5CaI2 and 90Li7P3S11-5CaI2-5LiI had shifted as compared to the Li7P3S11 sample, showing that CaI2 addition affected the vibration of PS43- and P2S74- ions. EDS results indicated that CaI2 and LiI were well dispersed in the prepared powder sample. The ionic conductivity at 25 °C of sample 90Li7P3S11-5CaI2-5LiI reached a very high value of 3.1 mS cm-1 due to the improvement of Li-ion movement at the grain boundary and structural improvement upon CaI2 and LiI doping. This study encouraged the application of Li7P3S11 in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Survey on Vietnamese teachers’ perspectives and perceived support during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented damage to the educational system worldwide. Besides the measurable economic impacts in the short-term and long-term, there is intangible destruction within educational institutions. In particular, teachers – the most critical intellectual resources of any schools – have to face various types of financial, physical, and mental struggles due to COVID-19. To capture the current context of more than one million Vietnamese teachers during COVID-19, we distributed an e- survey to more than 2,500 randomly selected teachers from two major teacher communities on Facebook from 6th to 11th April 2020. From over 373 responses, we excluded the observations which violated our cross-check questions and retained 294 observations for further analysis. This dataset includes: (i) Demographics of participants; (ii) Teachers' perspectives regarding the operation of teaching activities during the pandemic; (iii) Teachers' received support from their schools, government bodies, other stakeholders such as teacher unions, and parents' associations; and (iv) teachers' evaluation of school readiness toward digital transformation. Further, the dataset was supplemented with an additional question on the teachers' primary source of professional development activities during the pandemic

On Phase Transitions of Nuclear Matter in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model

Within the Cornwall - Jackiw - Tomboulis (CJT) approach a general formalism is established for the study of asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) described by the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Restricting to the double-bubble approximation (DBA)we determine the bulk properties of ANM, in particular, the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy, which is in good agreement with data of recent analyses
