As the VCP describes, Doi Moi is a comprehensive economic reform package with new initiatives toward building ―a mixed economy‖ that introduces ―market mechanism with state management and a socialist orientation‖ to Vietnam‘s economy. With Doi Moi, pragmatism has evidently taken center stage in place of dogmatic concerns for ideological correctness. The thesis seeks to first examine the conditions and factors that gave impetus for the economic reforms in Vietnam. These conditions and factors are especially evident when they are examined in a comparative context with the Soviet Union and China‘s experiences with similar reforms as they are done here in the thesis. Moreover, the change of orientation from a centrally planned economy to market-oriented economy is reflected in Doi Moi‘s decentralization and economic liberalization reforms as well as the VCP‘s opening up to international reintegration and reconciliation with namely the United States.

  • 1 Educational and Labor Market Outcomes of Ghanaian, Liberian
    Educational and labor market outcomes of Ghanaian, Liberian, Nigerian, and Sierra Leonean Americans, 2010–2017 Ernesto F. L. Amaral Texas A&M University, [email protected] Arthur Sakamoto Texas A&M University, [email protected] Courtney Nelson Sweet Briar College, [email protected] Sharron X. Wang Texas A&M University, [email protected] Abstract Research on immigrant African Americans is slowly increasing, but more studies are needed particularly in regard to specific ethnic groups and their second-generation offspring. We investigate socioeconomic outcomes among second-generation African Americans focusing on those from English-speaking countries in West Africa including Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone (GLNS). We use data from the 2010–2017 Current Population Surveys to impute ethnicity on the basis of country of parental birth. Results for generalized ordered logit models for men reveal that GLNS are more likely to have a bachelor’s degree than third-plus-generation whites, third-plus-generation blacks, second-generation whites, other-second-generation blacks, but not second-generation Asians. Among women, GLNS are more likely to have a bachelor’s degree than all of these groups. OLS estimates of regressions of wages show that net of education, age, marital status, and having children, GLNS men are not disadvantaged relative to third-plus-generation whites in contrast to the disadvantage of 7 percent for other-second- generation blacks and 18 percent for third-plus-generation blacks. In regard to women, neither GLNS nor other-second-generation blacks are disadvantaged relative to third-plus-generation whites in contrast to the disadvantage of 8 percent for third-plus-generation blacks.

    Aplikasi Permainan Capsah Banting dengan Penerapan Algoritma Minimax Hapnes Toba, Billy Kurniawan Program Studi D3 Teknik Informatika Fakultas Teknologi Informasi, Universitas Kristen Maranatha . Prof. Drg. Suria Sumantri No. 65 Bandung 40164 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Big-two card game, is one of well-known card climbing games which probably originated in coastal China around 1980. Soon it became very popular in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan and also in the Philippines and Singapore; it has also spread to some western countries. In climbing games, each player in turn must play a higher card (or combination of cards) than the previous player. A player who cannot or does not wish to beat the previous play can pass. This continues for as many rounds as necessary until someone makes a play which no one will beat. That player wins the "trick" and leads to another one. Because players can pass, their cards are not used at an equal rate and some will run out before others. This kind of strategy produces an imperfect information environment. In this article will be reported how the Big Two card game is implemented in computer with the application of Minimax Algorithm, to predict the information, i.e. the value of cards in hand, for the next player who has the turn to minimize the card “value” of the other players.

  • New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang
    New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Irene Bloemraad Professor Peter Zinoman Fall 2011 New Economies of Sex and Intimacy Copyright 2011 by Kimberly Kay Hoang Abstract New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Over the past two decades, scholars have paid particular attention to the growth of global sex tourism, a trade marked by convergence between the global and local production and consumption of sexual services. In the increasingly global economy, the movement of people and capital around the world creates new segments of sex work, with diverse groups of consumers and providers. This dissertation examines the dialectical link between intimacy and political economy. I examine how changes in the global economy structure relations of intimacy between clients and sex workers; and how intimacy can be a vital form of currency that shapes economic and political relations. I trace new economies of sex and intimacy in Vietnam by moving from daily worlds of sex work in Ho Chi Minh City [HCMC] to incorporate a more structural and historical analysis. Drawing on 15 months of ethnography (2009-2010) working as a bartender and hostess I analyze four different bars that cater to wealthy local Vietnamese men and their Asian business partners, overseas Vietnamese men living in the diaspora, Western expatriates, and Western budget travelers.

  • Dai Di Analysis
    3 << 2: Dai-di Analysis Teo Kai Meng, Roddy Kok Yik Siong, Jeremy Ang Kay Yong and Ivan Lim Wen Chiang Abstract Chor Dai Di is a popular local card game played usually with four players. Unlike other popular card games like Bridge or Poker, Big Two, as it is also known as, has little formal study made on it. An attempt is therefore made here to employ a systematic approach, not unlike that for the other card games, to formalise the workings of the game, as well as provide an insight to more advance play. With the compilation of a set of useful probabilistic data of the game, heuristics for playing can then be verified and new ones created. Introduction Amongst local card players, Chor Dai Di has to rank as one of the most popular, as the game is easy to get started on, though deceptively difficult to master. For some, the appeal of the game lies in its reliance on skill and judgment, though one can of course throw the decisions of game play to chance. As such, we believe that since it is possible to master the game, it must be possible to devise some guidelines for better play. To better appreciate the game, we had hoped to find out its origins. Unfortunately, the exact history of the game is unavailable, as we have yet to come across any book or documentation of the game. We did find a website on the game, but it had only an outline on the rules. Perhaps, it is then fair for us to make an inference on this apparent lack of information.

  • Vietnam War Literature and the Vietnam
    Searching for Closure: Vietnam War Literature and the Veterans Memorial by Charles J. Gaspar That many soldiers returned home from the battlefields of Vietnam only to find themselves mired in another battle in their own country is well recognized now. A vignette which opens the Preface to Frederick Downs' compelling memoir, The Killing Zone, makes this point dramatically: In the fall of 1968, as I stopped at a traffic light on my walk to class across the campus of the University of 3enver, a man stepped up to me and said "Hi." Without waiting for my reply to his greeting, he pointed to the hook sticking out of my left sleeve. "Get that in Vietnam?" I said, "Yeah, up near Tam Ky, in I Corps." "Serves you right." As the man walked away, I stood rooted, too confused with hurt, shame, and anger to react. (n.pag. [vii]) This theme - that there was no easy closure for the trauma of the war experience for the individual soldier - recurs throughout many Vietnam War narratives. "Senator," a wounded veteran in James Webb's Fields of Fire, knows this truth and rebukes his father's cajolery with the assertion that "It'll never be over, Dad. Most of it hasn't even started yet" (392). Similarly, Tim O'Brien's hero in his first novel, Northern Lights, tells his brother only half jokingly, "Glad I didn't wear my uniform. Look plain silly coming home in a uniform and no parade" (24). Indeed, powerful recent narratives such as Larry Heinemann's Paco's Story and Philip Caputo's Indian Country have shifted the focus from the soldier in combat to the soldier as he attempts to reconnect with the mainstream of American society.
