An understanding of art and culture has often been known by many Indonesian students and also the community. These two words are always a pair of words in the vocabulary of the Language and Arts department in particular. there is art where the culture is, and vice versa culture is never released by the art. However, the definitions of "culture" and "art" require attention to be redefined towards supporting the new mental revolution held by the Indonesian government, and also to follow the world's advanced higher education system. In our opinion, it is better for the field of "culture" and the field of "art" to be understood as both becoming two scientific fields themselves. Then, understanding the arts in its position in relation to the cultural field from its elements related to awakening the cultural field occurs the need to develop a good arts education curriculum. Finally, Vietnamese character education is explained via the concept of mind relating to its culture and the characteristics of their nation. these problems will be discussed in this paper. Keywords: art, culture, mental revolution, art education

For projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a baseline has to be set to allow calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions reductions achieved. An important obstacle to CDM project development is the lack of data for baseline definition; often project developers do not have access to data and therefore incur high transaction costs to collect them. The government of Vietnam has set up all necessary institutions for CDM, wants to promote CDM projects and thus is interested to reduce transaction costs. We calculate emission factors of the Vietnam electricity grid according to the rules defined by the CDM Executive Board for small scale projects and for large renewable electricity generation projects. The emission factors lie between 365 and 899 g CO2/kWh depending on the specification. The weighted operating and build margin reaches 600 g for 2003, while grid average reaches 399 g. Using three-year averages, a combined build and operating margin of 705 g is calculated. We hope that these data facilitate CDM project development in the electricity supply and energy efficiency improvement in Vietnam.

The City is a fast-growing city located on the northern edge of a metropolitan area. Its rapid growth is accompanied by increased demands from residents, local businesses, and other private and public institutions. To provide sufficient services and meet the high demands of its constituents, the City has responded by increasing its output through the expansion of its administration, such as the creation of new departments, projects, and initiatives. As a result, the Enterprise Security Operations Department has been developed to ensure information used, stored, and processed by the City is protected against adversaries. However, as the Enterprise Security Operations Department is still in its infancy, there are currently no goals or strategies to guide its operations. This resulted in a lack of an information risk management process, poor security practices and culture, and failure to understand the organization's true security posture. The purpose of this project is to establish a formal Information Security Program with well-defined goals, strategies, and future roadmap through the following objectives: 1) understand the current state of security for the City; 2) strengthen the information security operations; and 3) improve the risk management process. Accomplishing these objectives will contribute to creating a solid information security foundation that the City can apply and build upon as the program matures.

There are 40 endangered species (representing 3,4% of the total species of the flora of the Xuanson national park) listed in the Red Data Book of Vietnam (2004), the IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants (2001) and the Governmental Decree 32/2006/N§/CP dated March. 30. 2006, that need to be given priority for conservation and protection. ­Useful plant resources comprise medicinal plants (665 species); timber plants (202 species); vegetables and edible fruits (132 species); ornamental plants (90 species); aromatic plants (26 species); bamboo, rattan, fern, jute (9 species); forages (12 species); oleiferous plants (9 species) and poisonous plants (8 species).

"The practice of sex-selective abortion is on the rise globally, stirring debates about gender inequality, medical ethics and reproductive autonomy. This book is the first ethnography to document practices of sex selection in Viet Nam. It shows how and why abortions are used to select the sex of children and how Vietnamese individuals and health professionals are implicated in this illicit and controversial practice. Telling the stories of women who have undergone sex-selective abortions, it traces their passage through sex determination and abortion decision-making phases, and investigates their experiences during and after their sex-selective abortions. It describes the turmoil experienced by individuals who undergo such abortions and explores their interactions with the spectrum of social actors and health institutions that facilitate practices of sex selection.As the first ethnographic study on sex-selective abortions in Viet Nam, this book delves into socially sensitive terrain and sheds light on personally fraught individual experiences of reproductive agency. It documents societal responses to sex-selective abortions in Viet Nam and identifies gaps in the state's capacity to regulate reproductive desire in a marketised economy. A resource for researchers, it contributes to ongoing debates on sex selection and provides a framework for developing relevant social policies, interventions and support services.'This pioneering study offers a nuanced and sensitive account of sex-selective abortion as human experience. Through thought provoking case studies, the book provides rare ethnographic documentation of the complex quandaries that arise as selective reproductive technologies are routinised across the globe.'-- Tine M.

Gesundheitsbelastungen infolge von Bewegungsmangel stehen im Zusammenhang mit der Stadtentwicklung der letzten Jahrzehnte und gehen einher mit inaktiven Lebensweisen. Gehen ist die umweltfreundlichste Fortbewegungsart, es ist sozialverträglich, d. h. unabhängig von sozialer Stellung, Alter oder finanziellen Möglichkeiten für fast alle Menschen machbar - und zugleich gesund. Das Konzept der Walkability zielt aus Planungssicht daher auf eine bewegungsanimierende gebaute Umwelt. Zunehmend wird erkannt, dass Walkability in den letzten Jahren ein wichtiges Thema im Bereich Planung, Städtebau und Gesundheit geworden ist, da die gebaute Umwelt bestimmte Verhaltensweisen beeinflusst. Aus der Praxis werden konkretere Anleitungen gefordert, welche städtebaulichen Merkmale zu erfassen oder anzuwenden sind, um die Walkability zu bewerten oder bewegungsfreundliche Städte zu schaffen. Die Messung von Merkmalen der gebauten Umwelt nimmt in diesem Zusammenhang eine besondere Rolle ein, aber auch die Frage, wie die Forschungsergebnisse Politik und Planungs- und Baupraxis erreichen. ; Health impairments due to inactivity are related to the urban development of recent decades, along with sedentary lifestyles. Walking is identified as the most environmentally friendly mode of transport, social and healthy. From a planning point of view, the concept of walkability therefore aims at a built environment that facilitates physical activity. It is increasingly recognised that walkability has become an important topic in the field of planning, urban design and health, since the built environment affects certain behaviours. From practice, demands are heard for concrete guidance on which urban design features should be captured to evaluate walkability or implemented to create active cities. The measurement of features of the built environment plays a special role in this context, as does the question of how research results can reach policies, planning and building practice.

Unter gestalterischen, baulich-räumlichen und planerischen Gesichtspunkten wird in dieser Arbeit anhand der Stadtentwicklung Karlsruhe nachgegangen, welcher konzeptionelle Stellenwert in Leitplänen und in der realen Planung stadtnahen Wäldern in der Vergangenheit bis zur Gegenwart zugemessen wurde. Schwerpunkt liegt in der Fragestellung, wie die Stadtplanung in der Vergangenheit mit stadtnahen Wäldern umgegangen ist und wie sich die Ergebnisse dieses Umgangs darstellen.

In this paper, the accelerator-driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) is simulated based on structure of the TRIGA-Mark II reactor. A proton beam is accelerated and interacts on the lead target. Two cases of using lead are considered here: firstly, solid lead is referred to as spallation neutron target and water as the coolant; secondly, molten lead is considered both as a target and as a coolant. The proton beam in the energy range from 115 MeV to 2000 MeV interacts with the lead to create neutrons. The neutron parameters as neutron yield Yn/p, neutron multiplication factor k, the radial and axial distributions of the neutron flux in the core have been calculated by using MCNPX program. The results show that the neutron yield increases as the energies of the proton beam increases. When using the lead target, the differences between the neutron yield are from 4.2% to 14.2% depending on the energies of the proton beam. The proportion of uranium in the mixtures should be around 24% to produce an effective neutron multiplier factor greater than 0.9. The neutron fluxes are much higher than the same calculations for the TRIGA-Mark II reactor model using tungsten target and light water coolant.
