Rice farmers' perception and determinants of climate change adaptation measures: a case study in Vietnam
The study used Mann Kendall's and Sen's slope tests to elicit rice farmers' perceptions of climate change due to extreme weather occurrences and compared them to hydro-meteorological data. According to the findings, temperatures increased by 0.4 degrees during the last 35 years. While rainfall has increased, the pattern has been difficult to discern. The test results corroborated farmers' perceptions of increased heat spells, but rainfall frequency and intensity vary and are difficult to anticipate. Three adaptation strategies are frequently employed in the Nong Cong district: adjusting the seasonal calendar to alter transplanting and harvesting timing; increasing fertiliser and pesticide application; and changing variety to short-time kinds. Due to the interdependence of adaption techniques, the study used a multivariate probit model. The regression findings indicated that several relevant variables influence the decision to apply adaption methods. Numerous policy ideas for enhancing adaptation to climate change can be derived from the results of this study. District governments must improve their capacity to forecast weekly weather and train how to adapt production to climate change.Le Phuong Nam (Viet Nam National University of Agriculture (VNUA)), Nguyen Dang Que (National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA)), Nguyen Van Song (Viet Nam National University of Agriculture (VNUA)), Tran Thi Hoang Mai (Vinh University (VU)), Nguyen Thi Minh Phuong (Vinh University (VU)), Nguyen Thi Xuan Huong (Viet Nam National University of Forestry (VNUF)), Nguyen Cong Tiep (Viet Nam National University of Agriculture (VNUA)), Tran Ba Uan (Dien Bien Technical Economic College)Includes bibliographical references
THE IMPACT OF NATIONAL CULTURE ON BILATERAL TRADE IN VIETNAM
The purpose of this paper is to examine whether or to what extent national culture influences bilateral trade flows between Vietnam and its trading partners. Using a panel dataset of 52 countries from 2001 till 2011 and six cultural dimensions of Hofstede, the regression analysis performed by gravity model shows that national culture and bilateral trade flows between Vietnam and trading partners are significantly correlated. This study's implications may help macro-policy makers devise better export promotion policies and boost the volume of bilateral trade between Vietnam and other countries around the world
Zarządzanie i wydajność operacji: mediacyjna rola praktyk zarządzania zielonym łańcuchem dostaw w MNC
Recently, operational and supply chain management practices are considered the foremost solution for high operational performance and gain recent researchers' intentions. Thus, the present study aims to examine the role of operational management practices such as extensive training, teamwork, total quality management and just-in-time on the multinational organization's operational performance in Vietnam. The goals also include the examination of the mediating impact of green practices of supply chain among the nexus of operational management practices and operational performance of the multinational organization in Vietnam. The operational and supply chain managers of the multinational organization in Vietnam are the respondents of the study that have been selected by using purposive sampling. The questionnaires have been sued for the data collection, and smart-PLS has been executed for analysis. The results revealed that all the operational management practices have a positive and significant association with multinational organizations’ operational performance in Vietnam. The findings also exposed that the supply chain's green practices are positively mediating among the nexus of operational management practices and operational performance of the multinational organization in Vietnam. These outcomes are suitable for the regulators to develop the policies related to the operational and supply chain practices that could increase organizational performance.Ostatnio praktyki zarządzania operacyjnego i zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw są uważane za najważniejsze rozwiązanie zapewniające wysoką wydajność operacyjną i zyskują najnowsze zamierzenia badaczy. W związku z tym niniejsze badanie ma na celu zbadanie roli praktyk zarządzania operacyjnego, takich jak szeroko zakrojone szkolenia, praca zespołowa, kompleksowe zarządzanie jakością i „just in time” na wyniki operacyjne organizacji wielonarodowej w Wietnamie. Cele obejmują również zbadanie pośredniczącego wpływu ekologicznych praktyk w łańcuchu dostaw w powiązaniu praktyk zarządzania operacyjnego i wyników operacyjnych wielonarodowej organizacji w Wietnamie. Kierownicy operacyjni i łańcucha dostaw międzynarodowej organizacji w Wietnamie są respondentami badania, którzy zostali wybrani na podstawie celowego pobierania próbek. Kwestionariusze zostały pozwane w celu zebrania danych, a smart-PLS został wykonany do analizy. Wyniki ujawniły, że wszystkie praktyki zarządzania operacyjnego mają pozytywny i znaczący związek z wynikami operacyjnymi organizacji międzynarodowych w Wietnamie. Ustalenia ujawniły również, że zielone praktyki łańcucha dostaw pozytywnie pośredniczą w powiązaniu praktyk zarządzania operacyjnego i wyników operacyjnych wielonarodowej organizacji w Wietnamie. Wyniki te są odpowiednie dla organów regulacyjnych do opracowania polityk związanych z praktykami operacyjnymi i praktykami łańcucha dostaw, które mogą zwiększyć wydajność organizacji
Development of Rice Husk Power Plants Based on Clean Development Mechanism: A Case Study in Mekong River Delta, Vietnam
In this research, we planned and conducted estimations for developing a pilot-scale Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project for group plant activities in the Vietnam electricity/energy sector. The overall aim of this paper is to assess the power generation potential of rice husk power plants in the Mekong Delta. We intend to set up a rice husk energy balance flowchart for the whole Mekong River Delta in the year 2021 and suggest policies that can be used for the power generation of unused rice husk, to avoid having them pollute rivers and canals. We put forward a safe and environmentally friendly solution to thoroughly minimize the current serious pollution of rivers and canals in the Mekong River Delta caused by the increasing quantity of unused rice husk. The results of this paper are based on the estimation of electricity potential of a group of rice husk power development plants in the Mekong River Delta with a capacity of 11 MW per plant, including carbon dioxide emission reductions (CERs) and CER credits, along with estimations of their economic criteria (NPV, B/C, IRR), both W/CDM and W/O CDM
