92Structural transformation, agriculture and livestock in Vietnam (1970-2015)Journées de Recherches En Sciences Sociales 11 1-35. 2017.Vietnam has exhibited rapid economic growth over thirty years of comprehensive economic reforms. However, about half of the country’s active population remains in agriculture. In order to characterize the role of agriculture and livestock in Vietnam’s structural transformation, we assess ongoing dynamics at three complementary scales: national, sectoral (agriculture and livestock) and local (district of Bavi). We show that the transition since Doi Moi (Renovation) has given rise to a political e…Read more

80Modular argumentation for modelling legal doctrines of performance reliefArgument and Computation 1 (1): 47-69. 2010.We present an argument-based formalism of contract dispute resolution following a modern view that the court would resolve a contract dispute by enforcing an interpretation of contract that reasonably represents the mutual intention of contract parties. Legal doctrines provide principles, rules and guidelines for the court to objectively arrive at such an interpretation. In this paper, we establish the appropriateness of the formalism by applying it to resolve disputes about performance relief w…Read more

74Evolutionary autonomous agents and the naturalization of phenomenologyPhenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 5 (3-4): 351-363. 2006.The phenomenological goal of grounding the content of conceptual thought in the background understanding of everyday, skillful coping was approached using evolutionary autonomous agent methodology. The behavior of an EAA evolved to perform a specified motor task was identified with skillful coping. Changes in the dynamics of the EAA controller occurred when the EAA encountered an unexpected obstacle with loss of longer time scale components in its hierarchical temporal organization. These tempor…Read more

48Academic Integrity in Higher Education: The Case of Plagiarism of Graduation Reports by Undergraduate Seniors in VietnamJournal of Academic Ethics 16 (1): 61-69. 2018.Plagiarism in higher education has become widespread among students in Vietnam. This paper aims to examine the seriousness of the problem by comparing the severity of plagiarism in two universities, one of which uses Turnitin software to check its student reports. For that purpose, 977 samples have been drawn from 1434 required graduation reports written by senior undergraduates in the economics and management field from 2013 to 2015. Turnitin’s “Similarity Index” was used to check for alleged p…Read more

41Explicating the Moral Responsibility of the Advertiser: TARES as an Ethical Model for Fast Food AdvertisingJournal of Mass Media Ethics 28 (4): 225-240. 2013.In adopting a deontological lens to assess message ethicality, this study identifies and explicates the ethical dimensions of fast food advertising through five principles of the TARES framework of persuasion ethics. In moral weight, fast food—with its high calories and low nutritional value—is negatively prejudiced. A deontological-ethical perspective, by focusing on the quality of the advertising message, shifts the focus from the product to a more measured deliberation about the moral respons…Read more

27Exploring a Public Interest Definition of Corruption: Public Private Partnerships in Socialist AsiaJournal of Business Ethics 165 (4): 579-594. 2020.As conventionally understood, corruption relies on a set of universally agreed rules that determine what constitutes the appropriate allocation of organizational resources. This article explores whether rule-based approaches to corruption are applicable where business organizations, such as public private partnerships, and the public fundamentally disagree about what constitutes an appropriate allocation of resources. Drawing on empirical research about PPPs in Vietnam, this article compares how…Read more

This study investigates academic reactions to the structure and organization of research at four leading Vietnamese universities. Through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with 55 participants, the study fi…Read more

21From the eco-calypse to the infocalypse: the importance of building a new culture for protecting the infosphereAI and Society 1-3. forthcoming.In our ever technologically driven and mediatized society, we face the existential risk of falling into an info-calypse as much as an eco-calypse.

20Human contact is a key issue in social interactions for autonomous systems since robots are increasingly appearing everywhere, which has led to a higher risk of conflict. Particularly in the real world, collisions between humans and machines may result in catastrophic accidents or damaged goods. In this paper, a novel stop strategy related to autonomous systems is proposed. This control method can eliminate the vibrations produced by a system’s movement by analysing the poles and zeros in the mo…Read more

18Formal Modelling and Verification of Probabilistic Resource Bounded AgentsJournal of Logic, Language and Information 32 (5): 829-859. 2023.Many problems in Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) research are formulated in terms of the abilities of a coalition of agents. Existing approaches to reasoning about coalitional ability are usually focused on games or transition systems, which are described in terms of states and actions. Such approaches however often neglect a key feature of multi-agent systems, namely that the actions of the agents require resources. In this paper, we describe a logic for reasoning about coalitional ability under res…Read more

15Tongue-tied: breaking the language barrier to animal liberationLantern Books, A Division of Booklight. 2019.Words not only define our reality, they reveal and direct our attitudes toward that reality. This feature of language is especially problematic when it comes to our treatment of animals. In this supple, thoughtful, and closely argued work, Vietnamese-American scholar Hanh Nguyen examines the words we use in English and other languages to justify our abuse of other-than-human world. Reframing our metaphors, categories, and descriptions of animals we love, hate, and eat allows us to break long-sta…Read more

14Assembling bodies‐without‐organs: A poststructuralist analysis of group sex between menNursing Philosophy 23 (1). 2022.Group sex among men who have sex with men may be understood as a ‘radical’ practice insofar as it transgresses dominant social discourses around appropriate sexual relations—prioritizing heteronormative, monogamous and risk‐averse sex. These practices are generally defined as steeped in risk, most commonly due to the potential for transmitting human immunodeficiency virus and sexually transmitted infections and accompanied by the possibility of legal and social repercussions. Our ethnographic re…Read more
