A node-based strain smoothing technique for free vibration analysis of textile-like sheet materials
This paper presents an implementation of the node-based smoothed finite element method
and Reissner-Mindlin plate theory for a four node isoparametric shell element to improve the
numerical precision and computational efficiency subjected to free vibration analysis of textile-like
sheet materials. A one smoothing cell integration scheme in the strain smoothing technique is
implemented to contrast the shear locking phenomenon that may exists in the analysis for moderatelythick and thick shell models. Various numerical results of free vibration analysis for a multi-layer
nonwoven fabric sample are compared with other existing analytical solutions and numerical
solutions in literatures to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method. An advantage of the
present formulation is that it can improve the numerical precision without decreasing the
computational efficiency.The first and fourth author acknowledge FCT for the conceded financial support through Project

Factors Determining of Dropping Out from Treatment Among Methadone Clients: A Qualitative Study in Can Tho City, VietNam
Methadone maintenance therapy has been a main pillar of harm reduction for people who injecting drug user in VietNam as well as in Can Tho. Dropout rate has indicated to be high in Can Tho city. Methadone maintenance has been offered since 2008 in VietNam and it implemented in Can Tho since 2010; however, its dropout rate is high. This study aim at exploring the factors related to drop out from treatment. Qualitative conducted to interview 17 methadone clients for both drop out clients and current on treatment clients; 4 health workers and 3 family members of clients. The barriers to stay longer on treatment which included: individual factors, community factors and institutional factors. This study suggests that increasing meaningful involvement of familyâs clients, strengthening counselling session on adherence for client
VFFINDER: A Graph-based Approach for Automated Silent Vulnerability-Fix Identification
The increasing reliance of software projects on third-party libraries has
raised concerns about the security of these libraries due to hidden
vulnerabilities. Managing these vulnerabilities is challenging due to the time
gap between fixes and public disclosures. Moreover, a significant portion of
open-source projects silently fix vulnerabilities without disclosure, impacting
vulnerability management. Existing tools like OWASP heavily rely on public
disclosures, hindering their effectiveness in detecting unknown
vulnerabilities. To tackle this problem, automated identification of
vulnerability-fixing commits has emerged. However, identifying silent
vulnerability fixes remains challenging. This paper presents VFFINDER, a novel
graph-based approach for automated silent vulnerability fix identification.
VFFINDER captures structural changes using Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) and
represents them in annotated ASTs. VFFINDER distinguishes vulnerability-fixing
commits from non-fixing ones using attention-based graph neural network models
to extract structural features. We conducted experiments to evaluate VFFINDER
on a dataset of 36K+ fixing and non-fixing commits in 507 real-world C/C++
projects. Our results show that VFFINDER significantly improves the
state-of-the-art methods by 39-83% in Precision, 19-148% in Recall, and 30-109%
in F1. Especially, VFFINDER speeds up the silent fix identification process by
up to 47% with the same review effort of 5% compared to the existing
approaches.Comment: Accepted by IEEE KSE 202
A new stability results for the backward heat equation
In this paper, we regularize the nonlinear inverse time heat problem in the
unbounded region by Fourier method. Some new convergence rates are obtained.
Meanwhile, some quite sharp error estimates between the approximate solution
and exact solution are provided. Especially, the optimal convergence of the
approximate solution at t = 0 is also proved. This work extends to many earlier
results in (f2,f3, hao1,Quan,tau1, tau2, Trong3,x1).Comment: 13 page

This paper also suggest: Improve the quality of the teaching /lecture service staff. First, Develop a reasonable monitoring, evaluation and reward mechanism to motivate people to work hard; Second, Each faculty member on duty has a job description with clear responsibilities, rights and obligations; Third, Conduct ongoing training. It is necessary to regularly organize training and training courses on serving, communicating, and dealing with customers
Effect of Annealing Temperature on the Li Ionic Conductivity of LaLiTiO
Perovskite La0.67-xLi3xTiO3 with x = 0.10, 0.11, 0.12 and 0.13 were firstly annealed at 800 oC then treated by reactive milling, followed by post-annealing at temperatures from 1100 to 1200oC. The crystalline structure of grain and grain-boundary were characterized by XRD and SEM. The impedance measurements showed that nanocrystalline La0.67-xLi3xTiO3 after being annealed at 1150 oC possessed a grain conductivity as high as 1.3Ă10-3 S.cm-1. The grain-boundary conductivity was enhanced one order in magnitude after annealing at temperature higher 1100oC and consists of 5.8Ă10-5 S.cm-1. The results have also showed the limitation of the adiabatic thermal treatment for the improvement of the grain-boundary conductivity and suggested the way to overcome the limitation by rapidly cooling the samples from the high temperature to room temperature
Further Discussion On Applying Case Study Method In Investment Law Course â A Case Of Education Investment In Vietnam
Purpose: The aim of this study is to focus on clarifying using case study method to improve taching
law course. Currently, many universities around the world are applying a new teaching method. It
can help students absorb knowledge more efficiently and faster. That is the case study. Using a Case
Study allows a deeper understanding of cases as a unit, through comparing the similarities and
differences of individual cases.
Design/methodology/approach: The study uses qualitative analysis, synthesis and inductive
methods, together with studies and references from CPTPP, FTA Agreement, as well as Regulations
on assurance of business investment activities.
Findings: The application of this method to teaching helps learners to approach very applicable
situations. The situations or problems close to the theory will also help them to systematize all the
knowledge they have learned to apply to solve the assigned problem. Not only use the knowledge
learned, but also learn related knowledge outside the program to solve the problem. Case Study is
an extremely interesting and interesting learning method, helping us to associate reality and apply it
to solve problems and help us remember longer. If you really understand what a case study is, then
apply it to your life and work. The results show the regulations on guaranteeing ownership rights as
well as ensuring investors' business investment activities have been clearly stipulated in the 2020
Labor Law of Vietnam. These regulations have concretized the constitutional principle of investors'
freedom to invest and do business in industries that are not prohibited by la
LES RĂLES DE L'ORGANISATION PAYSANNE ET DE L'ACTION COLLECTIVE POUR LE RENFORCEMENT DES FILIĂRES DE COMMERCIALISATION DES PRODUITS DE «SPĂCIALITĂ LOCALE» LE CAS DU LONGANE «LONG» DE LA PROVINCE DE HUNGYEN AU VIETNAME
N° ISBN - 978-2-7380-1284-5International audienceLe Vietnam est actuellement engagĂ© dans un processus d'intĂ©gration Ă©conomique internationale issue notamment de son adhĂ©sion rĂ©cente Ă l'OMC. Ce processus inclut une ouverture croissante du secteur agro-alimentaire domestique Ă la concurrence des produits importĂ©s. Les exploitations agricoles familiales sont particuliĂšrement fragilisĂ©es par ce nouveau contexte, en raison de le petite taille et du morcellement des superficies cultivables. Les moyens de renforcer la compĂ©titivitĂ© des produits issues de l'agriculture familiale constitue ainsi une des prioritĂ©s pour les recherches vietnamiennes en Ă©conomie agricole. Au Vietnam, le longane âLongâ produit dans la province de Hungyen est un produit de spĂ©cialitĂ© locale, c'est-Ă -dire dont la qualitĂ© spĂ©cifique est reconnue par une partie des consommateurs. NĂ©anmoins, le manque d'action collective entre les exploitations agricoles familiales fragilisent les performances de cette filiĂšre face aux longanes des autres rĂ©gions du Vietnam et les longanes importĂ©s. Cet article prĂ©sente les expĂ©riences d'appui pour le renforcement de la filiĂšre du longane âLongâ de la province de Hungyen au Vietnam vers le dĂ©veloppement de l'indication gĂ©ographique. GrĂące Ă l'appui de GTZ (German Technical Cooperation) et de l'IPSARD (Institut de politique et de stratĂ©gie pour l'agriculture et le dĂ©veloppement rural), la coopĂ©rative de longane Long Hongnam, qui consiste en une organisation de producteurs et de commerçants, a Ă©tĂ© mise sur pied en 2006. La coopĂ©rative a permis la mise en place des actions collectives suivantes: l'application d'un itinĂ©raire technique de production amĂ©liorĂ© incluant le respect de certaines bonnes pratiques agricoles locales (Good agricultural practices ou GAP), et la mise sur pied d'un espace de dialogue avec les commerçants. Grace Ă ce dispositif, les producteurs ont pu augmenter leur prix du vente, amĂ©liorer l'homogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© de la qualitĂ© des produits, et amĂ©liorer leur revenu. La durabilitĂ© de ce dispositif est discutĂ©e. L'article fait le bilan des forces et faiblesses de ces strategies de soutien a l'action collective
Boundary identification for an elastic solid partly immersed in a liquid
The authors consider a long elastic cylinder of constant section Ω partly immersed in a liquid of constant density. It is assumed that the body is in the state of plane strain and that Ω has a boundary consisting of two piecewise smooth arcs assumed to meet each other at two, and only two, points on a horizontal line. The upper arc Î, which is exposed to air, is assumed known, while the lower arc Ï, assumed to be totally immersed in a liquid of constant density, is unknown and is to be determined. Under the conditions that the displacements and surface stresses on a subarc of Î are known and that the lower arc Ï is subjected to a known constant hydrostatic pressure, the authors prove a uniqueness theorem and in the case of existence of a solution, show the existence of a sequence of regularized solutions converging to the exact solution
