Over several decades, a combination of historical, economic, and political factors have influenced the multifaceted phenomenon of Vietnamese return migration from Cambodia. This article examines the return migration of Vietnamese from a historical perspective with document and contextual analysis, revealing a broader picture of the socio-economic and political dynamics in Cambodia and the historical relationship between Cambodia and Vietnam. Before the 1990s, return migration was significantly influenced by colonial-era migration policies and pervasive anti-Vietnamese sentiments. These factors led to violent repression and forced evictions under regimes such as Lon Nol and the Khmer Rouge, profoundly impacting the Vietnamese community in Cambodia. In contrast, administrative governance and economic factors have become the key determinants of Vietnamese return migration in the contemporary period. Understanding the underlying causes and mechanisms that create the situation for Vietnamese in Cambodia and their return is crucial, serving as a basis for addressing their current challenges and promoting their social integration in both countries.
This paper studies the performance of a IoT-relaying node transmission with massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system network. The system is a simple schematic setup which includes one user, one IoT-relaying node and one base station (BS). The user and IoT-relaying node have a single antenna while the BS is equipped with a hundred and/or even a thousand of antennas array. The transmission protocol is performed based on a very simple amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying scheme. To decode the transmitted signal from the user, the BS applies maximum-ratio (MR) combining technique (the combined channel of the links from the user to BS and the IoT-relaying node to the BS) under assumption of perfect channel station (CSI). The exact closed-form of the throughput and the results for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (when the number of relay antennas goes to large) are analyzed.

Sustainable development is a crucial issue that has been particularly emphasized by the Party and the Government of Vietnam, especially in areas with a large population of ethnic minorities. The Southern Central Highlands is currently home to nearly 50 ethnic groups, among which local ethnic minorities such as the Ê Đê, K’ho, and M’nông are striving to develop their economy, culture, and society sustainably. However, this development process faces numerous challenges from both objective and subjective factors, including natural conditions, government development policies, ethnic psychology, and religious factors. At present, Catholicism and Protestantism are the two main religions within the ethnic minority communities of the Southern Central Highlands. Introduced to the region from the late 19th to early 20th century, these two religions flourished in the second half of the 20th century and have become major elements in the spiritual lives of the communities. Religion has had and continues to have significant impacts on the economic, cultural, and social development of local ethnic minorities, contributing positively to the process of sustainable development. This article uses data collected from the community through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and survey questionnaires to analyze the impact of religion on the economic, cultural, environmental, and social aspects of local ethnic minorities in the South Central Highlands in the context of sustainable development.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of credit risk management on profitability of commercial banks in Vietnam. While the existing literature emphasizes the necessity for a more in-depth study and additional empirical evidence to elucidate intricate relationships between market dynamics and credit risk, particularly in the context of commercial banks in Southeast Asia, there remains a gap in comprehensive studies, with a specific focus on Vietnam. The secondary data was collected from 20 commercial banks from the country for the period of 11 years, from 2012 to 2022. The study used non-performing loans ratio (NPLR), capital adequacy ratio (CAR) as well as loan-loss provision ratio (LLPR) as proxies of credit risk while the financial performance is measured by return on equity (ROE). Moreover, the bank's characteristics, such as its size (SIZE), the macroeconomic inflation rate (INF), and a dummy variable that looks at how ownership type (OWN) affects the bank's profitability are all applied to quantify the independent variables. The model does not exhibit the multicollinearity issue, according to the mean Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) data. The regression results reveal that SIZE, CAR and INF variables have a significant positive effect on ROE, while the NPLR variable has an opposite significant effect on ROE. Nevertheless, there is no connection between the ROE-measured financial performance of commercial banks and the OWN or LLPR variables. This offers further valuable insights to bankers and policy makers in credit risk management of commercial banks in Vietnam to enhance the stability of the Vietnamese banking system.
Loudspeakers are one of the state's means of communication used to propagate policies in recent times and have been very effective, contributing to propaganda and the development of legal policies. The issue of health communication has been effectively adopted through programs on health policy and health science. In order to have a scientific basis for surveying the role of loudspeakers in the new period in urban areas, creating a basis to advise industries, especially the health sector, on the satisfaction and effectiveness of loudspeakers. clear towards the people. With 7 in-depth interview samples in qualitative research conducted in Hiep An ward, Thu Dau Mot city, about the need to use and develop a quantitative assessment toolkit in the future. The results show that the rate of information reception is quite high, the age of reception increases gradually with age, the listening time per day fluctuates but still reaches a high rate, satisfaction with loudspeakers reaches a high level and the need to receive information from community loudspeakers in the future. Conclusion: Media reception from speakers is quite high, the received content is not proactive, so the incoming information does not meet the needs of today's low-tech and diverse media society. Therefore, there is a great need for a quantitative study with a more representative sample size to demonstrate the qualitative results that this study brings and at the same time, survey the content and effectiveness of health communication content from loudspeakers.
Vocational guidance plays an important role in career orientation for secondary students. Before entering the secondary school graduation exam, schools around the country start to organize career counseling. This urgent issue drives parents, teachers, and students up the wall, especially students are the learners who directly suffer from this consequence leading to students’ mental health issues. The study aim is to find out the optimal solution that helps students overcome the high pressure of vocational counseling before the graduation exam. In this inquiry, quantitative research is the best method to focus on surveying students’ awareness based on comparative research which is typical research, and via this exploration to evaluate the research object comprehensively. The comparative research is applied in this article to discover the differences between vocational guidance before and after the 10th-grade entrance exam towards poorer and lower-scoring students. This study is put into operation at Chu Van An secondary school – in Binh Duong province – academic year 2023-2024 and the students of grade 9 are research objects which are chosen to answer survey questions. According to survey tables, more than 93.3% of students with poorer and lower scores select vocational guidance after the secondary school graduation exam and 6.7% of students take the reverse one. What we need to think about is whether this way of present career counseling is feasible

Furthermore, Gemini's value extends beyond languages, offering assistance in a variety of other areas.

RESEARCH ON COOKING OIL ABSORBENT PADS USING WATER HYACINTH MATERIALS

Nguyen Thi Xuan Hanh, Nguyen Hong Hai Duy, Tran Thi Khanh Hoa
ABSTRACT Cooking oil is an indispensable ingredient in everyday family cooking. The oil after use is often discharged directly into wastewater systems, leading to risks of environmental pollution, water pollution, clogging of drainage systems... In recent years, water hyacinth plants have been considered weeds, floating on rivers, canals, ponds and lakes, obstructing the circulation of boats and preventing water flow. Water hyacinth plants are often found in large rivers and almost no one cares about their uses, making them truly wasteful. Realizing the flexibility of water hyacinth when dried, it can be woven into pieces with good absorbent properties, our team has researched using water hyacinth as a material to absorb used cooking oil that is discarded into the environment. school. The research uses the main methods of experimental method and sample analysis method in its research. The result is that a product that absorbs discarded cooking oil scum is formed and is tested for cooking oil contaminated water with results consistent with QCVN 14:2008/BTNMT. The purpose of the research is to find effective products to absorb discarded cooking oil to save costs and contribute to environmental protection. The problem of using naturally available materials to create products that absorb cooking oil scum at the same time solves two current environmental problems. The research is a preliminary result, so there are still many shortcomings. We hope that in the future there will be further research to make the product more and more perfect

English language proficiency is crucial for academic and professional success, with effective communication skills playing a pivotal role. Collaborative teaching methods, particularly group work, can significantly enhance students' creativity, evaluation, synthesis, analysis, and comparison, as well as problem-solving, essential for developing collaborative abilities. Furthermore, non-English major students often struggle to develop their speaking skills due to limited practice opportunities. This study addresses this challenge by implementing group-work activities in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. A mixed-methods approach was used to gather data including quantitative data collected through a questionnaire administered to 71 non-major students at Dong Nai Technology University and qualitative data came from semi-structured interviews. The results showed that group work significantly improved students' fluency, coherence, and confidence. Students reported increased motivation and engagement in speaking activities. These findings suggest that group-work activities effectively enhance speaking skills for non-English major students.
Advanced materials have been of interest in recent years because of their outstanding properties that bring many useful applications to humans, they can be highly compatible with alternative materials. In particular, coating materials on HAp base increase the biocompatibility of HAp. In this study, we synthesize TiO2/HAp composite materials using the sol - gel method. Samples were made under different synthesis conditions in terms of HAp/TTIP ratios: (1:1); (1:1.5); (1:2); (1:2.5); (1:3). Factors affecting the synthesis process, such as the incubation time and pH of the solution, were also investigated. The optimal conditions for the synthesis process are the ratio HAp/TTIP: 1 gram HAp with 2 ml TTIP; stirring time: 16 hours; pH of the gel solution: pH = 0.5, as determined from the analysis of the X-ray diffraction spectrum and SEM surface morphology. The research results are the basis for research on biomedical materials.
International integration not only brings opportunities but also challenges for teaching and learning English. Like other universities, Thu Dau Mot University focuses on teaching English for non-majored students of different faculties to meet the curriculum as well as provide knowledge for them to be confident when communicating. However, teaching English to non-majors still faces a lot of difficulties due to a number of factors. This study aims to understand the attitudes of non-English major students toward learning English at TDMU. Quantitative methods are used through survey questionnaires related to students' attitudes toward learning English and factors affecting students' attitudes toward learning English, and also finding out their wishes when participating in English learning activities in class. The questionnaire was sent to 190 students of different levels (levels 3-5). The results of the study show that most students are aware of the importance of learning English but they are not highly motivated to learn. According to the analysis results, students do not have a positive attitude towards learning English for the following reasons: They haven't spent time studying because they have to work part-time job for paying tuition fee; The purpose of using this language after graduation has not been determined, and they haven’t found a suitable learning method. From these findings, some solutions have been discussed to improve students' English learning attitudes, help lecturers make appropriate adjustments to improve students' learning outcomes and meet the standards school output as well as meet the needs of society.

The study investigated algorithms for processing the gamma spectrum of PVT detectors. Various commonly used algorithms and algorithms were examined for handling the gamma spectrum of PVT detectors. During the research, the Energy Weighted Counts (EWC) algorithm was selected and implemented to process the gamma spectrum using simulated data of gamma scattering spectra on PVT detectors. Specifically, the energy-weighted algorithm was applied to effectively differentiate between the gamma spectra of three important isotopes Cs137, Co60, and I131. The results of the study demonstrated the success in meeting the specified requirements, especially in selecting the optimal algorithm for identifying the three isotopes on the PVT detector, all achieved through the utilization of the GEANT4 simulation software. This research not only provided a detailed insight into gamma spectrum processing but also proposed an effective algorithm using simulation software to explore and evaluate algorithms on PVT detectors. This marked a significant step in the research and development within this field.
This article investigates the physical layer security (PLS) performance in an Energy Harvesting Underlay Cognitive Radio Network (EHUCRN). Firstly, the article examines the impact of parameters such as primary transmitter power, interference power threshold, and expected security level on EHUCRN's Secrecy Outage Probability (SOP). Then, based on the findings, the article evaluates the PLS performance of the system. The results indicate that increasing the primary transmitter power reduces the PLS performance while raising the interference power threshold improves PLS performance. Furthermore, increasing the expected security level decreases the PLS performance. Additionally, the percentage of time spent collecting energy increases within a small range, resulting in an increasing PLS performance up to a peak value. However, if this percentage continues to increase within a large range, the PLS gradually decreases. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the PLS performance in EHUCRN is low due to relatively high SOP values.
The article explores the influence of the mother tongue (Vietnamese) on practicing to develop first-year students’ English writing skills at Thu Dau Mot University. Analytical data was collected from 100 first-year students majoring in English Language at the Faculty of Foreign Languages - Thu Dau Mot University. Research results show that students are still greatly influenced by Vietnamese (first language) in the process of practicing English writing skills. Among the students surveyed, up to 58.4% said they were still influenced by the way of thinking in Vietnamese, and then switched to English to follow the writing style of Vietnamese. … The remaining % said they had practiced writing in English through many writing activities at English centers and had practiced writing through thinking in English. The rest of the article proposes some solutions to help students overcome the above barriers to develop effective writing skills.
ABSTRACT Nowadays, parents' needs are increasing to choose toys, especially painting colors, that are both beautiful, ensure their children's health, and are also environmentally friendly. In the production of industrial painting colors, waste from steps in the watercolor production line, if not treated to meet environmental standards according to regulations, will become a huge hazard to the environment and human health. human. Including causing skin, eye, digestive, and respiratory allergies. Causes poisoning, disease, cancer... Destroys the aquatic environment, trees, pollutes rivers and lakes. When building an industrial painting colors production line and putting it into use, if you do not think about solutions to treat wastewater from the production process, it will not be able to operate long term. Wastewater from color factories is mainly heavy metals contained in painting colors such as lead carbonate, oxide, and metal salts containing cadmium chromate. These substances cause mass death of organisms in the water, and polluted water cannot be used for agriculture. This research uses two main methods: experimental research to create products; combined with the questionnaire survey method to get customer opinions after using the painting colors test. Research results show that painting colors products made from fruits and vegetables combined with beeswax and coconut oil are very eye-catching and receive positive feedback from customers. With the im of protecting children in the future and responding to the green environmental message in the world, we hope that safe painting colors products from vegetables and fruits will be popularized in the community in the future. Keywords: vegetables, painting colors, environmental protection, safe products, beeswax.
In physics, the majority of natural events have been researched and described using differential equations, each having its own initial and boundary conditions. These differential equations contain a large number of fundamental constants as well as other model parameters. They add to the equation's complexity and rounding errors, making the problem more difficult to solve. In this work, we provide a method for transforming these physics differential equations into dimensionless equations, which are significantly simpler. Nondimensionalization, by suitably substituting variables, is the process of removing some or all of the physical dimensions from an equation that contains physical quantities. Some benefits of these dimensionless equations include that they are simpler to identify when using well-known mathematical methods, need less time to compute, and do not round off errors. Through several examples we discuss, this method is useful not just in quantum mechanics but also in classical physics.

The act of picking fruit is very familiar and associated with the history of hunting, catching, gathering, and gathering of humans, so they have come up with many types of tools for this job. The practice of wrapping fruit in bags before harvest has only been applied recently, so it is still very new and rudimentary. These tools only perform each function individually. Therefore, the author has inherited and proposed a tool that has two functions at the same time: wrapping bags and picking fruit at high altitude. This article presents the structure, operating principles, and instructions for using this tool. This tool is compact, inexpensive, and easy to use. It consists of a long handle, a set of clamps that close and open, and a control cable connecting from the top to the middle of the handle. Farmers just need to stand on the ground, put the clamps over the fruit, and pull the control cable to make the clamps close or open. From there, they can wrap bag or pick fruits from high above easily. This research will help farmers have a tool that has two functions, which certainly has many advantages and is useful for farmers. Keywords: cloth bags, cover fruit bags, fruit pickers, plastic bags, tools.
