'An Early Morning' and 'Moonlit Night' by Thach Lam Translated from the Vietnamese by Quan Manh Ha
Thach Lam (1909-1942) was a member of the Self-Strength Literary Group (1932-1945), which promoted the New Poetry movement, individualism in literature, French-influenced romanticism, and modernism. The Self-Strength Literary Group condemned feudalism and Confucian values that suffocated personal pursuit of happiness. Thach Lam is most known for his clear narrative style and the subtlety of his characters’ emotions. His fiction differs from that of other members of the Self-Strength Literary Group because he prefers to focus on the life of the common, working-class people in the countryside setting, and he does not romanticize reality. Literature, to him, must condemn social ills and help people live morally. His childhood was lived in poverty, and he died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-three. The present paper presents translations of two of his short stories

Microencapsulation-protected l-ascorbic acid for the application of human epithelial HaCaT cell proliferation.
Abstract l-ascorbic acid is an abundant water-soluble nutrient found in vegetables and fruits. It enhances the cell proliferation, which is helpful in wound healing process. However, it is relatively unstable and easily degraded under external environments including acidity, alkalinity, evaporation, heat, oxidization, light or moisture. Its storage remains challenged. This study reported the development of l-ascorbic acid microcapsules using the natural protein, gelatin, and the natural polysaccharide, agar, as the wall protection carrier. The physical properties including entrapment efficiency, particle size, surface morphology, chemical compositions and release profile were identified. The cell proliferation of l-ascorbic acid microcapsules was stronger than the free drug. Significant cell growth in microencapsulated l-ascorbic acid-treated human epithelial HaCaT cells was observed when compared with untreated control. Since cell proliferation and wound repair are closely related, it is believed that l-ascorbic acid microcapsules would effectively increase the potential effect of wound healing activity in human skin
Composition of the essential oils in various organs at different developmental stages of Ammi visnaga (L.) Lam. from Tunisia
The composition of the essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from various organs at different development stages of Ammi visnaga (L.) Lam. growing in Tunisia was determined by GC/MS analysis. In particular, the oil profiles of the leaves, stems, flower buds, roots, umbels, and fruits have been examined during the whole life cycle. The oil from the flowering aerial parts was characterized by a high content of isoamyl 2-methylbutanoate. After flowering and during desiccation and fructification, the umbels and fruits expressed a high content of linalool. The oils, extracted from the roots collected in the vegetative, buds floral, and floral stages, were rich in monoterpene aldehydes, oxygenated monoterpenes, and monoterpene hydrocarbons. The highest level of non-terpene hydrocarbons was found at the flowerbud stage, represented by 61.3% of nonane. Among the monoterpenes, sabinene (12.5%) and β-pinene (8.5%) were identified in the flower buds
