Rural Lifestyle in Vietnam - Values and Drawbacks

The rural Lifestyle in Vietnam was born from a small, fragmented, outdated agricultural economy that existed for thousands of years. The lifestyle of small farmers still exists boldly, present in all strata of the population in Vietnam today. This lifestyle, in addition to its positive values, also has negative aspects, which greatly affect the establishment of the principles of living and working according to the law; is a major obstacle in building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law state; building and developing an advanced culture imbued with national identity in Vietnam today. The article focuses on analyzing and clarifying "The basic characteristic of the Rural Lifestyle in Vietnam - Values and Drawbacks". Keywords: Lifestyle, small farmers, values, limitations, Vietnam.

Experiments of photosynthesis assessment of phytoplankton and seaweed had been carried out in Thi Nai lagoon in rainy season (October, 2013) and dry season (May, 2014). The results showed that primary productivity of phytoplankton was 8 - 149 mgC/m3/day, and that productivity of seaweed Gracilaria verrucosa was 0.139 - 0.197 mg C/g seaweed/day. During photosynthesis process of phytoplankton, an amount of 1.42 - 1.6 tons mineral nitrogen/day and 0.14 - 0.17 tons phosphate/day was consumed in the whole lagoon. The photosynthesis process of seaweed also consumed an amount of 0.74 - 0.83 tons/day of inorganic nitrogen (including nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium), and 0.041 - 0.045 tons/day of phosphate in the whole lagoon.Các thí nghiệm đánh giá khả năng quang hợp của thực vật nổi và rong biển đã được thực hiện tại đầm Thị Nại (Bình Định) vào mùa mưa (tháng 10/2013) và mùa khô (tháng 5/2014).

Assessment of Pollution Load into Thi Nai Lagoon, Viet Nam and Prediction to 2025

Abstract: Based on the statistical data of social-economic state and development planning to 2025 of Binh Dinh province, the pollution load from development activities has been calculated by using the environmental rapid assessment method. The results showed that development activities in Binh Dinh province create about 30.7, thousand tons of COD;17.1 thousand tons of BOD; 9.1 thousand tons of Nitrogen; 6.5 thousand tons of Phosphorous and 379 thousand tons of TSS from living activities, aquaculture, industry, farming and land leaching. Until 2025, this amount will be increased 1.4 -2.6 times. The main pollution sources are from living activities including residents and tourists and livestock farming. Therefore, treatment of waste from these sources is very necessary to minimize the waste amount discharged into the Thi Nai Lagoon

Risk Factors of Streptococcus suis Infection in Vietnam. A Case-Control Study

Background: Streptococcus suis infection, an emerging zoonosis, is an increasing public health problem across South East Asia and the most common cause of acute bacterial meningitis in adults in Vietnam. Little is known of the risk factors underlying the disease. Methods and Findings: A case-control study with appropriate hospital and matched community controls for each patient was conducted between May 2006 and June 2009. Potential risk factors were assessed using a standardized questionnaire and investigation of throat and rectal S. suis carriage in cases, controls and their pigs, using real-time PCR and culture of swab samples. We recruited 101 cases of S. suis meningitis, 303 hospital controls and 300 community controls. By multivariate analysis, risk factors identified for S. suis infection as compared to either control group included eating "high risk" dishes, including such dishes as undercooked pig blood and pig intestine (OR1 = 2.22; 95% CI = [1.15-4.28] and OR2 = 4.44; 95% CI = [2.15-9.15]), occupations related to pigs (OR1 = 3.84; 95% CI = [1.32-11.11] and OR2 = 5.52; 95% CI = [1.49-20.39]), and exposures to pigs or pork in the presence of skin injuries (OR1 = 7.48; 95% CI = [1.97-28.44] and OR2 = 15.96; 95% CI = [2.97-85.72]). S. suis specific DNA was detected in rectal and throat swabs of 6 patients and was cultured from 2 rectal samples, but was not detected in such samples of 1522 healthy individuals or patients without S. suis infection. Conclusions: This case control study, the largest prospective epidemiological assessment of this disease, has identified the most important risk factors associated with S. suis bacterial meningitis to be eating 'high risk' dishes popular in parts of Asia, occupational exposure to pigs and pig products, and preparation of pork in the presence of skin lesions. These risk factors can be addressed in public health campaigns aimed at preventing S. suis infectio

Reconstruction of the evolutionary biogeography reveals the origins of Alpinia Roxb. (Zingiberaceae): A case of out-of-Asia migration to the Southern Hemisphere

Alpinia is considered the largest genus of Zingiberaceae with ca. 250 species occurring in tropical and subtropical Asia, Australia, and Pacific Islands. The historical biogeography of Alpinia was conducted to explain where Alpinia originated and how it migrated to other regions. The phylogeny, divergence times and ancestral area reconstruction of Alpinia were performed by using the molecular data based on the comprehensive taxon sampling. Our results provide an objective approach to understand the historical biogeography of Alpinia. The genus originated in Asia during the Late Cretaceous ca. 69 Ma and started to diverge after the K???Pg boundary during the early Paleocene with the presence and development of the tropical rainforest and a warm, moist climate. Alpinia migrated to Malesia and then dispersed to Australasia. The molecular analyses supported the diversification of Alpinia in Asia and Malesia. Additionally, the Indian Alpinia has likely a common ancestor with Renealmia and Aframomum, and it is possible that after originating in Asia, Alpinia migrated from Asia to India then to Africa during the early period of collision between the Indian subcontinent and Eurasia to form the common ancestor of Indian Alpinia, Renealmia, and Aframomum. Our phylogeny provides a framework for studies in biogeography, comparative ecology, and evolution
