The theoretical background is based on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory and the book “The Motivation to Work” by Herzberg. This thesis focuses on using hygiene and motivation factors to evaluate the how satisfied the employees are. The interest of the thesis is in the factors of achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, growth, work conditions, salary and security.
This research is carried out by using qualitative and quantitative methods. The quantitative method is used by giving questionnaire to some of the company’s employees and their answers will provide the view on the current situation. There are 27 respondents of the questions. The qualitative method is used to analyze the open-ended question used in the questionnaire. The result indicated that some factors, such as achievement and work conditions, were at the good level. There were some factors, such as advancement, that possibly need to be improved. The suggestions of how to improve these factors included for example give more challenging tasks, create a reward program and provide training opportunities. There are not many answers and therefore more research on the topic is needed
FoxG1 promotes neuritogenesis and the formation of dendritic spines - a potential mechanism for West syndrome
No full textFoxg1 is an ancient transcription factor gene specifically expressed in the developing rostral brain. Here it is implicated in genetic control of multiple aspects of cerebral cortex morphogenesis, including early distinction between pallial and subpallial fields, dorsoventral patterning of the pallium, regulation of the balance between neural proliferation and differentiation, neocortical layering and tuning of astrogenesis rates. Proper Foxg1 allele dosage is crucial to normal brain morphogenesis and function. Rare microduplications of chromosome 14 fragments including Foxg1 are associated to a variant of the West Syndrome (WS), namely a devastating infantile pathological entity, characterized by seizures, abnormal interictal EEG activity, and a profound damage of cognitive abilities, persisting beyond the attenuation of EEG anomalies which often occurs around the third year of life. Aim of this thesis was to explore basic histological mechanisms possibly linking exaggerated Foxg1 expression levels by neocortical projection neurons to WS.
Three were the main findings of this work. First, I found that, upon transient overexpression of Foxg1 within the pallial neuronogenic lineage, neurons originating from the engineered proliferating pool - more numerous than in controls - retain the glutamatergic phenotype and, upon transplantation into neonatal neocortex, they survive at rates comparable with wild type controls. This suggests that an increased ratio between excitatory neocortical neurons and astrocytes occurring in WS patients may jeopardize the removal of ions and metabolites released in the extracellular space upon neuronal hyperactivity. Second, I discovered that neurite overgrowth triggered by Foxg1, previously documented in vitro, takes also place in vivo, upon transplantation of engineered neurons into neonatal neocortex, regardless of neuron birthdate. Moreover, I found that the neuritic overgrowth triggered by Foxg1 was mainly restricted to dendrites. There was also an increase in axonal length and branching, however this did not reach statistical significance. Remarkably these cytoarchitectonic abnormalities may ultimately result into larger afferent basins impinging on excitatory neurons, which can ease neuronal synchronization over larger distances and contribute to EEG abnormalities of WS patients. Third, I discovered that neuronal overexpression of Foxg1 elicits a considerable increase of spines on proximal dendrites and that this effect is exacerbated upon stimulation of neuronal hyperactivity.
These findings will be the starting point of an ad hoc follow-up study, aimed at unveiling molecular mechanisms which connect Foxg1 overexpression with the development of such histological anomalies. Hopefully, they will be of help for rationale design of novel therapeutic approaches aimed at alleviating and limiting the neurological damages triggered by Foxg1 duplications
Factors affecting Chinese tourist’s loyalty towards Ho Chi Minh City - A mediation analysis of tourists’ perceived value
No full textThe purpose of this research was to examine empirically the causal relationships among push factors, pullfactors, risk perception, tourists’ perceived value and loyalty of Chinese tourists travelling to Ho Chi Minh City. A survey was conducted investigating 470 Chinese tourists to collect the primary data. As a result, Chinese tourists’ loyalty towards Ho Chi Minh City could be predicted by some of their push motivation, pull motivation and their perceived value about the trip or tourists’ services received. Consequently, business organizations and tourism companies should consider the crucial roles of push and pull factors to attract more potential repeated visitors and increase their perceived value and loyal to Vietnam, especially to Ho Chi Minh City in the near future

Hawkers and the Informal Economy of Ho Chi Minh City: The Multi-Scale of Risks from Migration
No full textInternational audienceStreet vending is quite pervasive in developing countries, in Southeast Asian nations, especially in urban areas. Street vending activity is quite common in cities in Vietnam. According to the 2015 survey of the Vietnamese Government, migrants aged 15-59 in Vietnam accounted for 17.3% of the population (GSO-UNFPA, 2016). A large proportion of them work in the informal economic sector, working without contract, insurance, tax and little control. Street vending is typical of such informal activities. The informal economy is said to account for 20% of the country's GDP and tends to increase rapidly since 2017 (Tran Thi Bich Nhan and Do Thi Minh Huong, 2019). The requirement of city development creates the critical debate on stopping street vending or managing this activity in a way that is compatible with growth and development. Yet it seems that hawkers are unaware of the risks that they are facing, especially migrant group. They seem to fail to comprehend the opportunities associated to controlling their livelihood. The factors impacting vending activities have not been discussed strictly. This paper analyses the social life of hawkers to find who they are and their awareness on street vending as well as factors contributing to these activities. Furthermore, the research explores the risks and difficulties of the migrant hawkers. It analyzes the relation between livelihood of the poor and urban development. Based on that, the potential policies for this issue are discussed. Research is implemented based on both qualitative and quantitative methods. 204 questionnaires for hawkers have been administered and in depth interviews have been conducted from March to April, 2019. All the data were collected through the designed survey in 5 places in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
Marx and Ho Chi Minh on Educating the Young Generation: Ideological Values for the 21st Century
No full textMarxist philosophy and Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on youth education are pivotal for guiding the holistic development of young generations across historical periods, particularly today. Marx viewed education as a dual-purpose tool for imparting knowledge and fostering human liberation and societal progress. Ho Chi Minh emphasized youth as the "pillars of the nation," advocating for education that nurtures moral, intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth. These values remain vital in the face of rapid technological advancements, globalization, and social complexities. Effective youth education must integrate practical experiences, critical thinking, creativity, and social responsibility. Moreover, embedding humanistic values, patriotism, and self-reliance within the curriculum guided by Ho Chi Minh's ideals enhances its impact. Aligning educational strategies with Marxist and Ho Chi Minh’s principles, we can cultivate well-rounded individuals and global citizens capable of addressing the demands of the modern era
“A FREE MAN, ONLY, RESTAINS IN JAIL”: PRISON DIARY, POEMS FROM HO CHI MINH
No full textO estudo de literaturas de testemunho, de maneira geral, privilegia a análise de textos literários de sobreviventes de eventos históricos catastróficos do século XX, principalmente em relação à Segunda Guerra Mundial – no caso da Shoah – e às ditaduras latino-americanas. Partindo do alargamento dessa perspectiva, propõe-se o estudo do livro de poemas Diário da prisão, do revolucionário vietnamita Ho Chi Minh. O livro mencionado representa esteticamente a perspectiva pessoal de Ho Chi Minh, o qual foi encarcerado durante quatorze meses, em 1942, pelo Kuomintang – Partido Nacionalista Chinês. Os poemas são recortes de cenas vividas pelo próprio revolucionário, mas também do dia a dia violento dos que com ele estavam presos. A importância desse breve estudo é apresentar as catástrofes do século XX como continuidades históricas, as quais afetaram não só a Europa, como também tiveram início muito antes das guerras mundiais com os processos de colonização em África e em Ásia. Por esse motivo, o testemunho de Ho Chi Minh em Diário da prisão proporciona alargamento histórico e geográfico para aqueles que foram privados de contar sua própria história.
Palavras-chave: Literatura de testemunho; Ho Chi Minh; Poemas; Revolução Vietnamita.In general, the study of testimonial literature privilege the analysis of literary texts of survivors of historical catastrophic events in the 20th century, especially the ones regarding the Second World War – as the Shoah – and also the Latin-America dictatorships. Starting from this perspective, the aim of this paper is to study the book of poems The Prison Diary written by the Vietnamese revolutionary Ho Chi Minh. This book aesthetically portraits a personal perspective of Ho Chi Minh, who was kept as a prisoner for fourteen months, in 1942, by the Kuomintang – Chinese Nationalist Party. The poems are cutout of scenes experienced by the own revolutionary, but they are also of the violent daily experiences of the ones who were prisoners with him. The importance of this brief study is to present the 20th century catastrophes as a historical continuum which affected not only Europe, but also to show that they begun long before the World Wars with the colonization process in Africa and Asia. Thus, the testimony of Ho Chi Minh in The Prison Diary provides a historical and geographical enlargement for those who were deprived of telling their own history.
