Breakthrough in the Development of Vietnamese Business in Order to Grow Rapidly and Sustainably

In the context of globalization and industrial revolution 4.0 (FIR), it is difficult to develop a national enterprise system to help the economy in the lower middle income group grow fast and sustainably. It is more difficult when that task is carried out in a country whose growth model has not had a solid foundation, to go in the right direction without any “deviation” or “discoloration". It is a breakthrough that must be chosen, with the nature of a "fundamental" stage that needs to be influenced, and this stage in Vietnam has developed significantly. However, it still has many limitations and weaknesses that, for many reasons, have not been overcome not easily. Nevertheless in the face of huge and urgent business development needs, it is possible to base on free trade agreements (FTAs), export commodities, FIR, and real-world fluctuations, to create a breakthrough business development. In particular, it is necessary to renew thinking techniques and developing methods of three business sectors, overcome difficulties, obstacles, exploit and make use of open opportunities to develop businesses. At the same time, it is necessary to ponder and apply deeper Korea's experience, rectify and mitigate risks according to warnings from China's economy and business development practices. Together with focusing on overcoming other indirect obstacles, then the mission of developing business in Vietnam, though very difficult, will be successful and full of hope to contribute much to the prosperity of the country...

Pattern Discovery from Event Data

Events are ubiquitous in real-life. With the rapid rise of the popularity of social media channels, massive amounts of event data, such as information about festivals, concerts, or meetings, are increasingly created and shared by users on the Internet. Deriving insights or knowledge from such social media data provides a semantically rich basis for many applications, for instance, social media marketing, service recommendation, sales promotion, or enrichment of existing data sources. In spite of substantial research on discovering valuable knowledge from various types of social media data such as microblog data, check-in data, or GPS trajectories, interestingly there has been only little work on mining event data for useful patterns. In this thesis, we focus on the discovery of interesting, useful patterns from datasets of events, where information about these events is shared by and spread across social media platforms. To deal with the existence of heterogeneous event data sources, we propose a comprehensive framework to model events for pattern mining purposes, where each event is described by three components: context, time, and location. This framework allows one to easily define how events are related in terms of conceptual, temporal, and spatial (geographic) relationships. Moreover, we also take into account hierarchies for contexts, time, and locations of events, which naturally exist as useful background knowledge to derive patterns at different levels of abstraction and granularity. Based on this framework, we focus on the following problems: (i) mining interval-based event sequence patterns, (ii) mining periodic event patterns, and (iii) extracting semantic annotations for locations of events. Generally, the first two problems consider correlations of events whereas the last one takes correlations of event components into account. In particular, the first problem is a generalization of mining sequential patterns from traditional data, where patterns representing complex temporal relationships among events can be discovered at different levels of abstraction and granularity. The second problem is to find periodic event patterns, where a notion of relaxed periodicity is formulated for events as well as for groups of events that co-occur. The third~problem is to extract semantic annotations for locations on the basis of exploiting correlations of contexts, time, and locations of events. For the three problems above, we respectively propose novel and efficient approaches. Our experiments clearly indicate that extracted patterns and knowledge can be well utilized in various useful tasks, such as event prediction, semantic search for locations, or topic-based clustering of locations

ENGLISH-MAJORED STUDENTS' MOST COMMON CAREER OPTIONS AND THE LEVELS OF READINESS FOR THE CAREERS

EFL students nowadays have a variety of career options. Most of them, however, still do not have a well-understanding or a strong readiness for their job targets. This study was conducted to find out the EFL students’ most career options, some language standards when selecting careers and to what extent students feel that they are ready for their future careers. To answer these questions, we use exploratory questionnaires to survey the participants. The findings demonstrate that teaching English is the most attractive career that EFL students want to attend after graduating, followed by the freelancer. However, a group of students still cannot locate their future careers. Additionally, juniors and seniors are considered to have better preparation for their career prospects than freshmen and sophomores.  Article visualizations

Opportunistic secure transmission for wireless relay networks with modify-and-forward protocol

This paper investigates the security at the physical layer in cooperative wireless networks (CWNs) where the data transmission between nodes can be realised via either direct transmission (DT) or relaying transmission (RT) schemes. Inspired by the concept of physical-layer network coding (PNC), a secure PNC-based modify-and-forward (SPMF) is developed to cope with the imperfect shared knowledge of the message modification between relay and destination in the conventional modify-and-forward (MF). In this paper, we first derive the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the SPMF scheme, which is shown to be a general expression for deriving the SOP of any MF schemes. By comparing the SOPs of various schemes, the usage of the relay is shown to be not always necessary and even causes a poorer performance depending on target secrecy rate and quality of channel links. To this extent, we then propose an opportunistic secure transmission protocol to minimise the SOP of the CWNs. In particular, an optimisation problem is developed in which secrecy rate thresholds (SRTs) are determined to find an optimal scheme among various DT and RT schemes for achieving the lowest SOP. Furthermore, the conditions for the existence of SRTs are derived with respect to various channel conditions to determine if the relay could be relied on in practice

Impact of Image Denoising Techniques on CNN-based Liver Vessel Segmentation using Synthesis Low-dose Contrast Enhanced CT Images

Liver vessel segmentation in contrast enhanced CT (CECT) image is relevant for several clinical applications. However, the liver segmentation on noisy images obtain incorrect liver vessel segmentation which may lead to distortion in the simulation of cooling effect near the vessels during the planning. In this study, we present a framework that consists of three well-known and state-of-the-art denoising techniques, Vesssel enhancing diffusion (VED), RED-CNN, and MAP-NN and using a state-of-the-art Convolution Neural Networks (nn-Unet) to segment the liver vessels from the CECT images. The impact of denoising methods on the vessel segmentation are ablated using with multi-level simulated low-dose CECT of the liver. The experiment is carried on CECT images of the liver from two public and one private datasets. We evaluate the performance of the framework using Dice score and sensitivity criteria. Furthermore, we investigate the efficient of denoising on roughness of the surface of liver vessel segmentation. The results from our experiment suggest that denoising methods can improve the liver vessel segmentation quality in the CECT image with high low-dose noise while they degrade the liver vessel segmentation accuracy for low-noise-level CECT images

Improving luminous flux and color homogeneity of dual-layer phosphor sctructure

In order to clarify the main purpose of the study, we put a green phosphor layer SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ on the yellow phosphorus layer YAG:Ce3+ through using only one WLEDs structure in different color temperatures like 5600 K, 6600 K, 7700K. Then, we find the suitable SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ concentration in order that the luminous flux could get the highest value. The results show that SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ brings great benefits to increase not only optical gain but also color uniformity. Specifically, the greater the SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ concentration, the greater the output of WLEDs because of the development of green light component in WLEDs. However, only if the SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ concentration exceeds the level, a slight decrease in color rendering index (CRI) can occur, which based on Monte Carlo simulation. In addition, the results of this paper have contributed significantly to the creation of higher-powered WLEDs

Excellent luminous flux of WLEDs with flat dual-layer remote phosphor geometry

This paper focuses on the comparison of the luminous flux of two dual-remote phosphor structures named flat dual-remote phosphor (FDRP) and concave dual-remote phosphor (CDRP). These two configurations have different luminous flux values due to the disparity in scattering properties in white LEDs. However, the researched results showed that FDRP structure is more lucrative than the CDRP structure when it comes to the luminous flux effectiveness. To support the aforementioned idea, this article also presents the influence of the distance between two phosphor layers (d1) and the distance between the phosphor layer with the LED surface (d2) on the optical properties of the FDRP structure. Specifically, the scattering ability and absorption properties of the remote phosphor layer will vary sharply if d1 and d2 are adjusted into different values, which produces an immense impact on the chromatic homogeneity and illumination capability of WLEDs. Therefore, in order to stabilize the correlated color temperature (CCT) of WLEDs at 8500 K when there is a modification on d1 and d2, the concentration of YAG:Ce3+ phosphor also needs to be varied. Accordingly, the scattering process and absorption phenomenon in the remote phosphor layer will bottom out when d1 = d2 = 0,  leading to the worst color quality and luminous flux. The effect of the spectra generated as these distances are adjusted is obvious evidence for this point. In other words, the larger the d1 and d2, the larger the scattering surface, and thus the blending of blue and yellow light rays will become more homogeneous, yielding the smallest white light deflection and the lowest luminous flux at the same time. The paper's results indicated that the luminous flux will reach a peak at 1020 lm if d1 = 0.08 mm or d2 = 0.63 mm and the chromatic deflection will hit the lowest point as d1 = 0.64 mm or d2 = 1.35 mm. In the end, manufacturers can make their choice for the production of higher-standard WLEDs based on the general knowledge and helpful information that the article has provided and analyzed

The application of (Y,Gd)BO3:Tb3+ and CaGa2S4:Mn2+ phosphors to remote white light-emitting diodes

The remote phosphor structure is superior to the conformal phosphor and the in-cup phosphor in terms of lighting efficiency; however, managing the color quality of the remote phosphor structure has been a nuisance to the manufacturers. To address this problem, many researches were conducted and the results suggested that using dual-layer phosphor structure and triple-layer phosphor structure could improve the color quality in remote phosphor structures. The purpose of this article is to study which one between the two configurations mentioned above allows multi-chip white LEDs (WLEDs) to reach highest indexes in color rendering index (CRI), color quality scale (CQS), luminous flux (LF), and color uniformity. The color temperature of the WLEDs used for the experiments in this article is 8500 K. The result of this research shows that the triple-layer phosphor configuration has higher CRI, CQS, and LE and also able to reduce color deviation resulting in better color uniformity. This conclusion can be verified by analyzing the scattering features of the phosphor layers using the Mie-theory. Being verifiable increases the reliability of the research result and makes it a valuable reference for producing better quality WLEDs
