This book, drawing on a political economic perspective of education development, is a comprehensive account of the question "why some education systems flourish while others falter." It provides a state-of-the-art review of the Vietnamese way of education development, figuring out the pitfalls, challenges and opportunities of neoliberal reform. It also sheds new light on the rise of neoliberal capitalism in contemporary Vietnam as the country intensifies its market-oriented economic transition. Starting from educational development concerns, this book differentiates the growth and development concepts in education. While "growth with limited development" is well reflected in many developing education systems, the Vietnamese experience of education development stands to provide readers with unique insights about education in developing economies, especially in understanding how a socialist-oriented education system is struggling to thrive in the times of neoliberal capitalism. Authored by scholars specialising in Vietnamese education and politics, the chapters address key issues pertaining to the political economy of education reform in Vietnam and the government's enduring efforts to drive education toward international standards through its costly market-infused education reforms. This book will appeal to postgraduate students, educators, educational policy-makers and scholars interested in Vietnamese studies, Vietnam education reforms, education governance, education for sustainability, internationalisation of education and the politics of education reforms.
Widely known as the 'tree of life', coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) provides a bountiful source for making a wide variety of healthy foods and industrial items. Its cultivation, however, has been encountering seriously destructive issues including lethal diseases and natural adversities which are currently distressing livelihoods of millions of small-holder farmers around the world. There is an urgent mandate to resolve these issues by meeting sustainable seedling production, facilitating genetic conservation, as well as developing disease identification and modern breeding. This book introduces improvements in coconut biotechnology by covering the advances in micropropagation, germplasm conservation, and molecular pathogenic diagnosis. This comprehensive volume will be a useful source of information and references to researchers, graduate students, agricultural developers, and scholars in the plant sciences. In order to benefit general readers, the book also covers fundamental aspects of biology, diversity, and evolution of this marvelous palm species.

This book presents an overview of political economic change in Vietnam during a period of significant social and economic change and an era of international turbulence. It combines various political economic perspectives to offer an integrated and comprehensive review of Vietnam's recent development, discussing topics such as public administrative reform, labour markets and special economic zones, environmental management and other important contemporary issues. This concise and highly readable book includes a considerable amount of research, and as such provides valuable insights for scholars and researchers interested in political economic change and in Vietnam.

Nowadays, network connectivity and the Internet have been an indispensable part of our daily lives via various services/applications supporting all of the industry areas ranged from trade and business, administration to entertainment, transportation, education, and healthcare. Typically, the concepts and introductions of terms, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud or edge/fog computing, and content-oriented network services, have been investigated as emerging topics toward the realization of the Internet of Everything (IoX) in the future. Toward this end, developing an efficient congestion control mechanism is regarded as a key to an efficient and robust network design since the network availability and stability can directly affect the network performance, in terms of interoperability and robustness, especially in the case of an explosive increase in the network traffic volume. In particular, when a network link becomes corrupted or overload, congestion may occur due to packet drops. As a result, the overall network performance, including network throughput, latency, and response time will be degraded. The book is not intended to provide a comprehensive description of various congestion control techniques. Rather, with the assumptions that the readers have some general knowledge of networking fundamentals, the main goal of this book is to bring together distinguished perspectives of congestion control in different network platforms and technologies, ranged from TCP/IP, MPTCP (Multipath TCP) in heterogeneous networks, wireless networks to information-centric networks as future networks, and even supercomputing. The book then aims to give a new insight into this challenging and important topic of congestion control to overcome network performance degradation when congestion occurs from both theory/principles and practical viewpoints. Hence, we hope that this book provides a broader picture of the Congestion control concept in the context of communication networks toward efficient network design.
