Emperor Minh Mang (明命), the second ruler of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam, reigned from 1820 to 1841. He is widely regarded by contemporary historians as the most distinguished monarch of his dynasty, despite some controversial policies. One aspect of his extraordinary legacy is the remarkable 142 offspring he sired - 78 princes and 64 princesses - earning him the unprecedented distinction of having the most progeny among kings in world history. Vietnamese people suppose Minh Mang's prolific reproductive success to the consumption of a specially prescribed medicine known as Minh Mang Thang (明命湯, MMT). This medicine, often associated with sexual potency and fertility, is characterized by intriguing names such as "One night Five sexes," "One night Six sexes born Five babies," or "Six sexes Three pregnancies." Vietnamese folklore vividly recounts Minh Mang's exceptional sexual prowess, attributing it to the use of MMT. MMT formulations, which include various herbs, notably Korean ginseng, may incorporate additional botanical ingredients depending on their intended purpose. This paper aims to explore the origins, history, ingredients, and applications of MMT, unraveling the mystery behind this mystical prescription that has inspired several oriental medicinal researchers. Through this investigation, we seek to shed light on the cultural and historical contexts surrounding Minh Mang's use of MMT and its enduring impact on traditional Vietnamese medicine and folklore.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death among Vietnamese Americans, yet screening remains underutilized. We investigated the effectiveness of a culturally tailored DVD intervention in promoting CRC screening among unscreened Vietnamese Americans age 50 and over. Materials and Methods: Using a community-based participatory research approach, we conducted a trial comparing twenty-eight subjects who received a mailed DVD in Vietnamese, with twenty-eight subjects who received a mailed brochure in Vietnamese. Subjects completed telephone surveys at baseline, One-month, and one-year. The primary outcome was receipt of screening. Secondary measures were participants' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about CRC screening. Two focus groups explored the intervention's acceptability and effectiveness. Results: At one year, CRC screening rates of 57.1% and 42.9% were observed in experimental and control group respectively (p=0.42), Subjects in both groups showed increased knowledge about CRC after one month. Focus group findings revealed that the DVD was an effective method of communicating information and would help promote screening. Conclusions: The findings suggest that culturally tailored, linguistically appropriate content is more important than the type of media used. This relatively low intensity, low cost intervention utilizing a DVD can be another useful method for outreach to the often hard-to-reach unscreened population.

This research is designed to provide basic data to study the life and culture of multicultural families in Korea by taking a look at the clothing behaviors and attitudes toward traditional dresses. To this end, quantitative research was conducted on Korea-Vietnam multicultural families and Korean families. The surveys of the Korean families were completed by 250 married women in Seoul, and those of Korea-Vietnam multicultural families by 104 married Vietnamese women living in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do and Incheon. The data were analyzed using frequency analysis, factor analysis, t-test, crosstabs and ${\chi}^2$-test. The findings are as follows: First, the comparison of clothing behaviors of the Korean families and the Korea-Vietnam multicultural families found that they had statistically significant differences in values towards clothes, clothes shopping orientation and clothes purchasing behaviors. The Korean women were more involved in clothes and fashion-oriented than their Vietnamese counterparts. However, the Vietnamese women in their 20s were likely to rely more on social trends than their own needs when purchasing clothes compared to their Korean counterparts. Korean families preferred to shop in department stores, while the multicultural families relied more on discount stores and outlets. Second, the comparison of the Korean families and the Korea-Vietnam families in attitudes toward their own traditional dresses and how often to wear them showed statistically meaningful differences. The Korean group had more negative attitudes toward Hanbok, the Korean traditional dresses than the Vietnamese group. The Vietnamese women showed more interest in information on Hanbok than their Korean counterparts. They also were wearing the Korean traditional dresses more often than the Korean families. In addition, the Vietnamese women showed a stronger tendency than the Korean women that they took pride in their country's traditional dresses and believed that they were beautiful.

본 논문은 한국어의 겹받침 발음에 대하여 베트남인 한국어 학습자와 한국인을 비교 연구하였다. 언어학적인 연구를 통하여 조사하고 분석한 겹받침 발음에 관한 여러 오류와 제시한 교육 방법에 대하여 공학적 특히 음성 신호처리의 분석 방법을 활용하여서 이런 연구 결과를 확인하였고 이에 우리는 본 논문에서 새로운 교육 방법을 제시하였다. 인공지능의 기계 학습에 많이 활용되고 있는 서포팅 벡터 머신 (supporting vector machine, SVM)을 사용하여서 베트남인 학습자의 발음과 한국인의 발음을 비교하였다. SVM의 초결정 평면을 구할 수 있다는 것은 베트남인 학습자의 겹받침 발음이 한국인의 발음과 차이를 보인다는 것이고, 그 반대라면 발음을 잘하고 있다는 것이다. 본 논문에서 우리가 제시한 새로운 교육 방법은 쓰기와 듣기로만 구성하는 것이 아닌 음성 신호의 시간 영역에서 파형과 그것에 대응하는 신호의 에너지 등과 같은 피교육자에게 보일 수 있는 것들을 포함하는 효율적인 발음 교육 방법이다.

As the number of immigrants staying in Korea has gradually increased since the mid-1990s, the rate of chronicle migration from certain countries such as China and Vietnam remain high. Registered foreign residents have formed ethnic communities depending on their countries of origin, and the purpose of stay, Korean language literacy, rent, and accessibility have resulted in their self-congregation or forced segregation. This study aims to explore the direction in which immigrants' residential distribution move over time, and whether the ethnic communities show any differences in the level of congregation or segregation. It focuses on identifying the residential distribution of Korean-Chinese, Chinese, and Vietnamese at the city, county, and district level across the country in Korea and examining the congregation and residential changes of three groups over the past decade using centrographic method. Comparing the location as well as the level of residential congregation or dispersion of three groups, which account for the majority of non-professional immigrants in Korea, it will provide a basis for further research on residential congregation or segregation of immigrants in the future.

베트남 인삼 세포를 이용하여 독성 식물호르몬인 2,4-D를 제거하는 연구를 수행하였다. 2,4-D를 함유하는 정상 MS 배지에서 배양된 세포를 세척한 후, 2,4-D가 없는 무호르몬 배지에서 배양한 결과 세포의 성장성은 유지되었지만 2,4-D는 완전히 제거되었다. 잔류 2,4-D는 세포 내 외부에 존재하면서 배양과 함께 세포에 의하여 소비되었는데, 배양 초기에 급격하게 소비됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 배양 중 배지의 2,4-D 보다 세포 내 2,4-D가 먼저 소비됨을 알 수 있었다.

The paper identifies the enablers (drivers) and inhibitors (barriers) influencing e-customs implementation in Vietnam (known as a developing country with a lower technological environment) along with determining the impact of e-customs on firm performance. The survey was conducted with the representatives (managers) of firms in five cities and provinces dominating Vietnam's international trade. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings show two significant drivers (enablers) - relative advantages and national culture, while compatibility and ease of use are the barriers. Previous studies showed that cultural dimensions related to 'uncertainty acceptance' and 'individualism' encourage innovation; however, this paper demonstrates that 'uncertainty avoidance' and 'collectivism' promote e-customs deployment in Vietnam. Previously, Vietnamese culture was known for scoring high on cultural dimensions related to 'power distance' and 'short-term orientation'. However, today, as an emerging country, Vietnamese has switched to 'low distance' and 'long-term orientation', especially in terms of e-customs innovation. Additionally, the paper also emphasized that e-customs implementation had a positive influence on firm performance in Vietnam. Based on the results of the paper, policy-makers can devise essential solutions to enhance e-customs implementation as well as managers of firms can set-up strategies to adapt to the modernized environment.

As an emerging market with rapid economic growth, while being a key region of the K-culture expansion, Vietnam draws increasing scientific attention. This study focuses on the MZ generation, Vietnam's leading consumer group, revealing their consumption value structure. An online survey was used for data collection purposes, investigating 368 Vietnamese consumers between 18-37 years of age. Six value dimensions were derived as results of the present analysis: functional, emotional, social, ethical, self-expression, and autonomy-oriented value. Among them, functional value includes two sub-dimensions of utility and price, while emotional value entails three sub-dimensions, namely hedonism, novelty, and aesthetics. 'Self-expression value' and 'autonomy-oriented value', reflecting the characteristics of the MZ generation, who actively express themselves and respect proactive decision-making, are becoming important standards of the consumption attitude of young Vietnamese. Moreover, the pursuit of 'novelty' was derived as a factor reflecting emotional values, revealing an association between hedonic consumption, and seeking for newness and difference. Furthermore, the relationships between each consumption value dimension, respective demographic characteristics, and global consumption propensity were investigated. The present findings aim to provide insights into young Vietnamese consumers' attitudes and intend to serve as a foundation for future research.

본 연구의 내용은 베트남에서 거주하고 있는 한국인과 동시에 이들과 접촉하고 있는 베트남인이 겪고 있는 이문화적 갈등 원인들을 가장 보편적이라 할 수 있는 의사소통방식, 생활방식, 경영방식을 중심으로 유형별 사례를 통하여 살펴보고, 극복방안을 제시하였다. 전통시대에 양국은 중국의 문화권에 속했음으로 인하여 역사, 문화, 사회면에서 비슷한 점이 많음에도 불구하고 국내 동일문화에서 다름으로 비롯된 일반적 갈등 외에도 국외 이문화, 특히 상이한 자연환경과 체제 등과 같은 요인 때문에 베트남에서 양국인이 의사소통, 생활방식, 기업 등에서 겪는 갈등은 적지 않다. 이문화 갈등을 해결하기 위해서는 베트남 거주 한국인들과 이들과 접촉하고 있는 베트남인들의 부단 없는 노력 외에도 양국 관민의 관심과 지원, 그리고 협력도 필요하다. 중국의 반한감정에서 볼 수 있었듯이 인터넷의 발전을 타고 조그만 아니면 근거 없는 것들이 부풀려지고 조작되어 걷잡을 수 없는 상황으로까지 갔었던 예를 한국인과 베트남인의 관계에 반면교사로도 삼아야 한다. 더욱이 한국은 과거에 경제를 목적으로 35만에 가까운 군인을 파월시킨 부끄러운 역사가 있다. 우리 선배들이 조국의 빵 해결을 위해 이 땅에서 부끄러운 역사를 만든 주연이었다면, 이제 우리 세대는 결자해지(結者解之)의 차원에서 접근했으면 한다. 공산주의 이론만으로 빵을 만들어 낼 수 없다는 뼈저린 시행착오를 거쳐 1987년에 문을 열어젖힌 베트남에 지나치게 경제논리로만 접근하지 말았으면 한다.
