Astrophysics research at DAP

Abstract

The research and training team of the Department of Astrophysics (DAP), Vietnam National Space Center, is some twenty years old. Currently, we work in the fields of stellar physics and high-redshift galaxies using mm/sub-mm data observed by world-leading radio interferometers such as ALMA and NOEMA. In this report, we present the research team and its activities and give illustrations of the research work with emphasis on the use of archival data.

Personal freedom and societal expectations towards LGBTQ+: Audience insights into Vietnamese cinema's “Goodbye Mother”

“…Early depictions were often characterized by limitations, perpetuating stereotypes, and misconceptions (Nguyen, 2019). Films such as "Cảm hứng hoàn hảo" (Perfect Inspiration) (Dung, 2011), "Trai nhảy" (Dancing-boys) (Hoang, 2007), "L : ac gió ̛i" (Paradise in Heart) (Son, 2014), "Đập c anh giữa không trung" (Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere) (Diep, 2014), and "Cầu vồng không sắc" (Rainbow without Colors) (Tuyen, 2015) portrayed LGBTQ+ characters grappling with their sexual orientations, frequently keeping their identities hidden until a dramatic revelation that often culminated in tragedy.…”
