Not only has it explicitly stipulated that protection of human rights is an important task for all three branches of government and the People’s Procuracy, but it also goes further than that of many other countries by devoting an entire chapter (Chapter 2) to address human rights in details. To enforce the constitution and to meet the requirement for integration into the world community, the Government has carried out a number of legal reforms related to human rights. In 2015, the National Assembly amended the Penal Code and Penal Procedure Code, and passed the Law on Temporary Custody and Detention.

  • Some Study Results of Cam Ranh - Binh Thuan Mud Eruption Strip
    Vietnam Journal of Earth Sciences Vol.38 (3) 256-276 Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology Vietnam Journal of Earth Sciences (VAST) http://www.vjs.ac.vn/index.php/jse Some study results of Cam Ranh - Binh Thuan mud eruption strip Bui Van Thom*1, Phan Trong Trinh1, Ngo Tuan Tu2, Nguyen Anh Duong1, Nguyen Dang Manh1 1Institute of Geological Sciences, Vietnam Academy Science and Technology 2Division of Planning and Investigation of Water Resources in Central region Received 25 April 2016. Accepted 11 June 2016 ABSTRACT Most of the mud eruption locations are distributed in a stretching strip, running in NE-SW direction from Cam Ranh - Ninh Thuan - Binh Thuan NE-SW tectonic fault zone and coinciding with a tectonically crushed zone. The erupted mud consists of sand, mud, clay. The clay contains alkaline montmorillonite, formed following chemical weathering and re-sedimentation processes from rocks containing alkaline minerals in a semi-arid climate area, located in a low terrain or a tectonic subsiding zone with a large fluctuation in groundwater level. The mud eruption has a close relation to factors (of) climate, topography, geomorphology, hydrogeology, , petrography and tectonic activities in the area. Among these, tectonic factors are the most important for they create not only soil and rock crushed zone, paving favorable conditions for strong weathering process at depth, but also to form canals to bring hot groundwater and minerals from certain depths upward, and by the effects of pressurized groundwater and partly due to the expansion in volume of bentonite clay pushing the muddy clay material through the tectonic cracks to the surface of the current terrain.

  • Are Cities in Vietnam Distributed According to Zipf?
    Journal of Economics and Development Studies March 2017, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-10 ISSN: 2334-2382 (Print), 2334-2390 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jeds.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jeds.v5n1a1 Are Cities in Vietnam Distributed According to Zipf? Trang My Tran1& C. Barry Pfitzner2 Abstract In this paper we test for congruence with Zipf’s Law among cities, towns, and communes in Vietnam. Zipf’s Law prescribes a particular distribution of cities when ordered by population. Much of the extant literature testing for Zipf’s Law utilizes a methodology that has been shown to produce biased estimates in small samples. Here we employ the techniques recommended by Gabaix and Ibragimov (2007, 2011), and focus on 2009 census data of 156 urban areas in Vietnam. We find support for a distribution consistent with Zipf’s Law based on the full dataset, and two subsets: cities only, and cities and towns. Keywords: City populations, ordinary least squares, Pareto form, Vietnam, Zipf’s Law 1. Introduction Dating to the year 1913, Felix Auerbach, a German geographer noted a very interesting empirical regularity regarding the distribution of the population of cites in a given geographic area. Let rank (R) represent the rank of the city population (that is, for the largest city, R = 1, and for the second largest city, R = 2 …). If S equals the size of the city population, and S is normalized to 1 for the largest city, then R∙S = 1, approximately.
