Syntax of Vietnamese Aspect
No full textThe aim of this thesis is two-fold: to develop an articulated Vietnamese clause structure in two syntactic domains: VP-external and VP-internal in the spirit of generative grammar, and to see how this functional architecture is supported empirically from the perspective of second language acquisition.
To address theoretical issues, on the one hand, it brings together interesting semantic and syntactic contrasts of aspectual morphemes in Vietnamese, i.e., the distributional and interpretative independence of Vietnamese tense and aspect as well as the way they interact with other syntactic phenomenon such as negation, quantification and definiteness. On the other hand, it reveals to what extent the mechanisms that Vietnamese recruits to encode aspect are different from those employed in Indo- European languages and other areally-related languages, especially including Chinese.
Based on a detailed semantic-syntactic investigation of Vietnamese aspect, the thesis sets out the properties that need to be acquired by Chinese learners. It distinguishes between those properties which are acquirable without difficulties and those that are ‘problematic’ in order to verify the proposed Vietnamese functional clause. It also sets out to validate some recent hypotheses in the realm of second language acquisition.
The thesis is organized as follows. Chapter 1 sets out the theoretical approach of the thesis. Chapter 2 systematically reviews a set of semantic and syntactic studies on aspect that are relevant to the discussion. Chapter 3 lays out previous research on Vietnamese tense and aspect as points of departure for my proposals. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to an analysis of how tense and aspect are realized in Vietnamese both pre- and post-verbally. Chapter 6 provides a brief comparison between Vietnamese and Chinese aspectual systems, focusing on the particular properties investigated in the following chapter. Chapter 7 presents a set of experiments examining Chinese learners’ acquisition of Vietnamese aspect-related constructions, these shed light on current generativist hypotheses about second language acquisition. Chapter 8 concludes the thesis
The impacts of social media on destination branding. Case study based on Hanoi city – the capital of Vietnam.
No full textThe purpose of the thesis was to discover the current situation of social media in destination branding with a use case of a developing city in Vietnam while weighing the impacts of social media marketing brings to advertise the destination.
In the theoretical chapters of the thesis, the author aimed to understand the general state of social media at the moment. Moreover, the author wanted to understand the impacts that social media has on the image of Hanoi. So that he could utilize the advantages and minimize the disadvantages affecting directly to the image of Hanoi. There were a few studies that only focus on the general picture of the relationship between social media marketing and destination branding. However, they did not concentrate on the specific purpose of the effectiveness of social media marketing in a destination. According to the data which was collected after six interviews, the author had an overview of the current impacts of social media marketing and the ways of improving them from the experts in this field.
Combined with previous studies, the influences of social media on the destination have been seen. Besides, there are more suitable proposals to improve and promote the image of Hanoi in the future. At the end chapter of the thesis, the author also gave a few pieces of advice as a guideline to build an effective social media marketing plan

To leg. Paratypes. 4♂, same date, locality as holotype; 2♂, same locality, 24.VII.2016; 2♂, 15 ° 53’284’’ N, 107 ° 21’585’’ E, 1,899 m a.s.l., Tr’hy commune, Tay Giang district, Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam, 14.IV.2016, V.Q. To leg. Three paratypes from Gari are deposited in the personal collections of the second author and the remainder are in the collection of the first author. Etymology. The new species is named after Mr. Bh’riu Liec, leader of the indigenous Co Tu minority people, without whose support our project would not have been possible; bhriulieci, a noun in the genitive case. Description of holotype. Head (Fig. 2 a-b). Labrum and postclypeus shining black; labium yellow becoming black anteriorly; anteclypeus yellow with two separated black spots; mandibles and genae pale yellowish, this pattern extending to just above postclypeus; antennae black except for yellow apical part of the first segment; epicranium matte black with a yellow spot between lateral ocellus and base of antenna; rear of head black with a transversely elongated postocular spot. Thorax (Fig. 2a, c–d). Dorsum of prothorax including anterior and posterior lobes entirely black; middle lobe black with traces of yellow laterally; posterior lobe unmodified, curved slightly upward in lateral view (Fig. 2 c-d); notopleural suture and propleuron yellow (Fig. 2a). Synthorax: mesepisternum black with a narrow yellow antehumeral stripe; mesepimeron black extending through middle of mesinfraepisternum of which the ventral part is blue; metepisternum, metinfraepisternum and metepimeron mostly blue with black as follows: narrow black subalar ridge extending from black upper end of mesepimeron to metapleural stripe, the latter slightly touching ventral end of metathoracic spiracle and extending ventrally along anterior margin of metinfraepisternum (Fig. 2a). Legs (Fig. 2a). Coxae and trochanters yellow; femora and tibiae yellow with flexor and extensor surfaces black; tarsi and spines black. Wings hyaline with black venation. Px 17–18 in FW and 15–16 in HW respectively. Pterostigma brown with narrow pale margin, covering 1.5–2 cells. Abdomen (Fig. 1). Black dorsally, pale yellow ventrally with yellow extending as follows: most of S1 except for black apical annulus, dorsal stripe extending to distal half on S2; S3–6 with semicircular expansion just before the posterior end of each segment; S7–S8 largely black excluding ventral narrow yellow stripe in S7 and a yellow marking on lateral sides of S8; S9–10 blue with black on ventral base of S9 and S10. Genital ligula (Fig. 3 d-e) with posterior segment quadrate in ectal view, with two long, recurved and slightly spatulate flagella lateroapically, each extending posteriorly with tip slightly recurved. Anal appendages (Fig. 3 a-c) entirely black, cercus as long as S10, and armed with a subapical black tooth. Paraproct slightly longer than cercus, tip acutely curved medioventrally. Measurements (in mm). HW 25; abdomen + caudal appendages 40. Female. Unknown. Variation in paratype males. Paratype males show little variation compared to holotype. In some specimens, synthorax laterally pale blue or pale yellow, not blue as in holotype. Middle lobe of prothorax entirely black, not yellow marking as in holotype. Measurements range 24–26.5 mm (HW) and 38–42.5 mm for abdomen + appendages. Differential diagnosis. The following combination of morphological characters separates C. bhriulieci from other Southeast Asian Coeliccia species: largely pale blue synthoracic pattern with narrow yellow antehumeral stripe, appendages black, and genital ligula with a pair of long recurved flagellae originating apicolaterally on largely quadrate terminal segment. Coeliccia bhriulieci shares some characters with the following Vietnamese congeners: C. cyanomelas, C. mientrung and C. pyriformis. The synthorax of all four have blue colouration which in C. bhriulieci mainly occupies the metepisternum and metepimeron (Fig. 2a) while in other three species the blue extends on to the mesepimeron thus forming a wide arch (C. pyriformis, C. mientrung) (Fig. 1A, E, p. 132 in Kompier & Phan 2017) or extends anteriorly into the middle of it (C. cyanomelas) (Fig. 10c, p. 269 in Steinhoff & Uhl 2015); antehumeral stripe in C. bhriulieci is a line more than two times narrower and much longer (reaching the alar ridge) than that of the other species; S9–10 is blue in C. bhriulieci and C. cyanomelas (Fig. 1 in this paper and Fig. 10d-f, p. 269 in Steinhoff & Uhl 2015) but is yellow in C. pyriformis and C. mientrung (Fig. 1B, F, p. 132 in Kompier & Phan 2017); anal appendages are black in C. bhriulieci but blue in C. cyanomelas and yellow in both C. pyriformis and C. mientrung; genital ligula lacks flap-like fold in C. bhriulieci (Fig. 3 d-e) and C. cyanomelas (Fig. 8c-d, p. 267 in Steinhoff & Uhl 2015) whereas the flap is well developed at the apical end in both C. pyriformis and C. mientrung (Fig. 2 A-B, p. 133 in Kompier & Phan 2017). Habitat and ecology. The new species was found in two different habitats within the high mountain forest. At Tr’hy (1,899 m a.s.l.), the habitat was a narrow (about 2–3 m) swampy shallow stream with a sandy bottom shaded by bushy vegetation. This habitat is shared with Caliphaea thailandica Asahina, 1976. The stream in Gari (1,299 m a.s.l.) was mostly exposed (6–8 m) with a gravel bottom with large rocks and low vegetation along the sides. Only one other congeneric species, the widespread Coeliccia scutellum Laidlaw, 1932, was found here.Published as part of To, Van Quang, Phan, Quoc Toan & Tran, Van Bang, 2017, Description of Coeliccia bhriulieci sp. nov.

PRINCIPAIS FATORES QUE INFLUENCIAM A FORMAÇÃO DOS PENSAMENTOS REFORMISTAS DE PHAN CHAU TRINH
No full textFrom the late 19th century to the early 20th century, under the invasion and rule of French colonialism as well as the weakness of the feudal court, Vietnam fell into a state of tumult and darkness; the people's lives were miserable and desperate. Faced with this situation, several great revolutionaries having patriotic spirit emerged, putting forward many progressive reformist ideas to save the country and help the people. One of the great and outstanding thinkers in this reformist movement was Phan Chau Trinh. Within the scope of this article, the author presents some of Phan Chau Trinh's reformist thoughts, and analyzes some of the main factors that influenced the formation of his reformist thoughts. The article uses the research method of the dialectical materialist and historical materialist standpoint, considering Phan Chau Trinh's writings and the related materials of contemporary activists. The article shows that the reformist thoughts of the patriot Phan Chau Trinh originated from his revolutionary spirit and love for his compatriots and shows his awareness of accepting new and progressive thoughts; through that, Phan Chau Trinh's thoughts made significant contributions to the cause of national liberation of Vietnam, especially reflected in the inheritance by Nguyen Ai Quoc.Do final do século XIX ao início do século XX, sob a invasão e o domínio do colonialismo francês, bem como a fraqueza da corte feudal, o Vietnã caiu em um estado de tumulto e escuridão; a vida das pessoas era miserável e desesperadora. Diante dessa situação, surgiram vários grandes revolucionários com espírito patriótico, apresentando muitas ideias reformistas progressistas para salvar o país e ajudar o povo. Um dos grandes e destacados pensadores desse movimento reformista foi Phan Chau Trinh. No escopo deste artigo, o autor apresenta alguns dos pensamentos reformistas de Phan Chau Trinh e analisa alguns dos principais fatores que influenciaram a formação de seus pensamentos reformistas. O artigo usa o método de pesquisa do ponto de vista materialista dialético e materialista histórico, considerando os escritos de Phan Chau Trinh e os materiais relacionados de ativistas contemporâneos. O artigo mostra que os pensamentos reformistas do patriota Phan Chau Trinh se originaram de seu espírito revolucionário e do amor por seus compatriotas e mostram sua consciência de aceitar pensamentos novos e progressistas; com isso, os pensamentos de Phan Chau Trinh fizeram contribuições significativas para a causa da libertação nacional do Vietnã, especialmente refletidas na herança de Nguyen Ai Quoc
Chlorogomphus hoaian Phan & Karube 2022, sp. nov.
No full textChlorogomphus hoaian sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 52E0216D-18F2-4C0A-A7E0-523778EBDFA2 Figs 1–14, 21, 24–25, 61 Diagnosis In lateral view, Chlorogomphus hoaian sp. nov. shows short, robust cerci and an epiproct which are generally similar to those of seven other species: C. aritai, C. arooni Asahina, 1981, C. caloptera, C. daviesi Karube, 2001, C. fraseri, C. nakamurai and C. yokoii Karube, 1995. However, C. hoaian sp. nov. is different from these seven species in major characteristics (alternative characters for the seven other species in parentheses): the cerci (Figs 12–13) are subequal in length to the epiproct (half as long except in C. caloptera); the dorsoposterior margin of S10 is broadly convex (narrowly convex); the length of the cerci is half that of the epiproct and S10 extends apically (except in C. caloptera, C. arooni (Asahina 1981: figs 7–8), C. caloptera (Karube 2013: fig. 6g), C. daviesi (Karube 2001: figs 5–6) and C. yokoii (Karube 1995: figs 15–16); the cerci are acute apically (Fig. 12) (blunt apically in C. nakamurai; see Karube 1995: figs 36–37). Chlorogomphus hoaian sp. nov. is most similar to C. fraseri and C. aritai by the length of the cerci relative to that of the epiproct. Compared to Chlorogomphus fraseri, the cerci of C. hoaian sp. nov. are triangular in lateral view (Fig. 12), widely separated basally in dorsal view and lack a laterobasal spine (Fig. 13); the epiproct in lateral view is triangular, expanded posteroventrally and armed with a pair of erect inner dorsal projections, separated from each other by a distance greater than the basal width of each projection (Fig. 13) and directed laterally near the apex (Figs 12–14). In C. fraseri, the cerci are broad basally in dorsal view (Fig. 16), abruptly narrowed thereafter, with the apex strongly bent ventrally in lateral view (Fig. 15), abruptly swollen basally medially and laterally in dorsal view (Fig. 16); the bifurcate epiproct in lateral view extends slightly beyond the level of the tip of the cerci; in dorsal view the apex of the epiproct is armed with small teeth dorsally, laterally and apically, with a pair of subbasal, bidentate inner dorsal projections (Figs 15‒17). Although structurally similar, the known ranges of the two species are separated by about 2200 km (Fig. 63). Compared to those of Chlorogomphus aritai, the male cerci of C. hoaian sp. nov. are armed with a pair of large inner dorsal projections, easily visible in lateral view (Fig. 12), dorsally smoothly concave basally and then slightly convex distally, the apex not pointed in dorsal view and directed posterolaterally (Fig. 13), whereas in C. aritai, the inner dorsal projections are short, not visible in lateral view (Fig. 18) and the cercus is armed laterobasally with a strong acute spine, its apex acute and directed posteriorly (Fig. 19). The epiproct of C. hoaian sp. nov. is widely divaricate, broadly U-shaped (Fig. 14), but in C. aritai, the branches of the epiproct are strongly curved with tips almost touching, forming an incomplete circle (Fig. 20). The wing pattern in females of Chlorogomphus hoaian sp. nov. is similar to that of C. caloptera (Figs 21, 23), but the brownish markings on both wings are less extensive than those in C. aritai (Fig. 22). Moreover, the vertex in the female of C. hoaian sp. nov. is armed posteriorly with a well-developed club-like process (Fig. 25), somewhat similar to C. aritai (Karube 2013: fig. 8b 2), while the posterior margin of the vertex is deeply incised in C. caloptera (Karube 2013: fig. 6b). No specimens of C. fraseri females have been reported. Etymology ‘ Hoaian ’, named after Mrs Van Cong Hoai An (born 1992) of Da Nang City, Vietnam, the wife of the first author, a noun in apposition.

Devadatta kompieri Phan, Sasamoto & Hayashi, 2015, sp. nov.
No full textDevadatta kompieri sp. nov. (Figs. 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A) Material examined. Holotype (Fig. 1 A): male; Vietnam, Yen Bai Province, Mu Cang Chai District, Tu Le Community, “Nậm Ch ậu” bridge; 19 -V- 2014; Quoc Toan Phan leg. (in TMUZ). Paratypes: 4 males, the same site and date as in holotype (1 in TMUZ, 3 in PQTC). Etymology. The new species is named after Mr. Tom Kompier, an enthusiastic entomologist, who has recommended several good study sites in northern Vietnam to the first author and kindly supplied us with many interesting damselfly specimens from Vietnam. Description of the holotype male. Head: Labrum, mandibles, and antennae black; postclypeus, frons and upper surface of head metallic dark blue; mouth parts bearing short brown setae; ocellus olive; occipital area glossy black. Thorax: Dorsal and lateral lobes of prothorax black, with pruinescence on part of basal and ventral areas. Synthorax generally black dorsally and laterally, lacking any pale maculation, with pale blue pruinescence over much of basal part of metepimeron and ventral surface. Legs brown with pruinescence on coxa; femur and tibia with strong but slender spines. Wings (Fig. 2 A): Venation black, membrane hyaline with slight pale yellow tint in mature male. Fw is a little longer and narrower than Hw; both wings petiolated slightly proximal to anal crossing. Eleven antenodal veins in Fw and 10 in Hw; subcostal veins proximal to subnodus with 4–5 crossveins in both wings; 38 postnodal veins in Fw and 30 in Hw; arculus situated at 6 th antenodal in Fw and 5 th in Hw; cubital space in Fw with 3 crossveins before anal crossing, the same of Hw with 3 or 4 veins; quadrangle space with 3 or 4 crossveins in Fw, and 2 or 3 crossveins in Hw; first anal vein meeting wing margin before the level of nodus in Fw, almost equal with nodus in Hw; distal space between first anal vein and wing posterior margin rowed 2 or 3 cells in Fw and 1 or 2 in Hw, respectively. Pterostigma dark brown, covering 5 to 6 underlying cells in Fw, and 5 in Hw. Wing tip with dark brown patch, covering a little more than half the area between distal end of pterostigma and apex in Fw, about onethird in Hw. Abdomen: Blackish brown, with pruinescence laterally on S 1 and S 2 and ventral surface of all segments. Anal appendages (Fig. 3 A) blackish, with pruinescence; superior appendage a little more than twice as long as inferior in lateral view; superior appendage in dorsal view bent in the middle with distal portion turning obliquely inwards with inner margin expanded and tip obtusely swollen; apices of superior pair barely overlapping each other. Inferior appendage short and strongly tapering in lateral view; the tip sharply hooked inwards. Penile organ (Fig. 4 A) is similar to that of D. ducatrix (Fig. 4 C), lobes at apex of distal segment approximately semicircular. Measurements (mm). Hw 32, abdomen including appendages 37. Variation in paratype males. The anterior lobe of prothorax, synthorax, and anal appendages pruinose in mature male, but becoming matte black with increasing age. Details of wing venation as follows: in Fw, antenodal veins 10–13, postnodal 37–42, cubital space with 3–4; in Hw, antenodal 10–12, postnodal 29–39, cubital space with 4–6. Measurements (mm). Hw 31–34; abdomen including appendages 32–37. Female. Unknown. Notes on biology. Devadatta kompieri was found at a small spring-fed brooklet in pristine forest. Like its congeners, D. kompieri males occasionally showed up at sunny spots making short flights. Devadatta ducatrix was also found at the same site. The first author noticed no differences in behaviour between D. kompieri and D. ducatrix during a short stay at the site. Other damselfly species observed at the same site were: Mnais andersoni McLachIan, 1873, Philoganga vetusta Ris, 1912, Caliphaea sp. allied to C. confusa Hagen, 1859, and Agriomorpha sp. Differential diagnosis. D. kompieri is similar to D. ducatrix and also D. yokoii described in the next section, but the males can be distinguished from each other (see diagnosis under D. yokoii).Published as part of Phan, Quoc Toan, Sasamoto, Akihiko & Hayashi, Fumio, 2015, Description of two new species of the genus Devadatta from northern Vietnam and central Laos (Odonata: Devadattidae), pp. 414-420 in Zootaxa 3941 (3) on pages 415-418, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3941.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/23724

Cultural Diversity and Religious Pluralism: The Church's Mission in Asia
No full textThe author argues that cultural diversity and religious pluralism present formidable challenges to the mission of theChurch, and he situates his discussion in the context of Asia. He discusses the anthropological concept of culture and offers a critique of this concept in the light of globalization and the new communication technologies. Phan presents the Chinese Rites Controversy as a historical example of the concern for inculturation and dialogue. Finally, he highlights ways in which inculturation and interreligious dialogue can together further the mission of the Church in the multi-cultural and multi-religious context of Asia
Anomaly detection for environmental noise monitoring
No full textOctave-band sound pressure level is the preferred measure for continuous environmental noise monitoring over raw audio because accepted standards and devices exist, these data do not compromise voice privacy, and thus an octave-band sound meter can legally collect data in public. By setting up an experiment that continuously monitors octave-band sound pressure level in a residential street, we show daily noise-level patterns correlated to human activities. Directly applying well-known anomaly detection algorithms including one-class support vector machine, replicator neural network, and principal component analysis based anomaly detection shows low performance in the collected data because these standard algorithms are unable to exploit the daily patterns. Therefore, principal component analysis anomaly detection with time-varying mean and the covariance matrix over each hour, is proposed in order to detect abnormal acoustic events in the octave band measurements of the residential-noise-monitoring application. The proposed method performs at 0.83 in recall, 0.88 in precision and 0.85 in F-measure on the evaluation data set.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Duc Phan, accepted the attached license on 2018-02-22 at 10:07.The student, Duc Phan, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-02-22 at 10:16.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-02-23 at 11:06.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12045 on 2018-08-31 at 17:17:11Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:33:48Z (GMT).

A Phan on Phish: Live Improvised Music in Five Performative Commitments
No full textExplored as a series of five interrelated performative commitments, the author takes seriously the notion that live musical performance, especially when it is pervaded by an improvisational ethos, can be quite powerful and well worth close examination. In particular, the band Phish, with its devout subcultural following of “phans,” is mined as a rich site for critical, theoretical, and descriptive fodder. The author writes as both a phan and a scholar, drawing from his own experiences seeing Phish live on many occasions as well as from an interdisciplinary body of scholarly literature. The essay provides insight not only into the Phish phenomenon but also into the intersections of performance, communication, popular music, and critical cultural studies
