Trần Đức Thiệp (Vietnamese : Trần Đức Thiệp; Vietnamese: [t͡ɕə̀nʔɗɨ́k̚tʰiə̣p̚ʔ] ) (born 1949) is a Vietnamese nuclear scientist and former deputy director of Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. [1] In 1992, he accidentally put his hand over an electron beam, leading to amputation of his right hand and International Atomic Energy Agency's investigation of safety practices of Hanoi's Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology. [2] [3]
Thiệp was born in Yên Hồ ward, Đức Thọ district, Hà Tĩnh province, with seven other siblings. His mother was in bad health making her unable to make income, and his father died when Thiệp was in fourth grade. To alleviate the financial situation, Thiệp frequented Vinh for summer break work. After graduating high school, he enrolled in Sofia University in Bulgaria, initially intending to graduate in geodesy, but he changed his discipline to physics and refined to nuclear physics in his second year in university. He cited Tzvetan Bonchev, a Bulgarian professor in nuclear physics, to be his inspiration for pursuing the discipline. [2]
After graduating with a Master of Science in 1977, Thiệp was invited to be an assistant at the Sofia University's physics department. One year later, he returned to Vietnam and offered a position in the Nuclear Physics Department, Vietnam Institute of Physics. In this time, Vietnam was under a central planned economy, with multiple U.S. sanctions and in a state of general poverty. To quote from the Dân Trí magazine: "During the late 70s and early 80s, [...], the nuclear physics discipline was forgotten without investment [from the government], and there were no state-level projects or projects for the nuclear field." [a] The nuclear physics department would later be spun off into the Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology as part of Vietnam Atomic Energy Commission. [2]
In 1982, the Soviet Union gifted the Institute two experimental microtron particle accelerators that had been used for ten years: a neutron generator and an electron accelerator. They are also the first two particle accelerators operated in Southeast Asia. [2]
On 17 November 1992 Thiệp was employed as the director of the Vietnam National Centre for Scientific Research in Hanoi. During a routine task, he placed his hands into a particle accelerator to adjust a sample of gold ore. This adjustment would usually be done using compressed air, but Thiệp entered the room and adjusted the samples by hand. At the same time, his colleagues, mistakenly believing he had left the room to wash his hands with soap in a sink placed outside the containment room, switched the machine on. Thiệp was exposed to a beam current of 6 μA for between two and four minutes. As a result, he suffered severe tissue necrosis in his hands, requiring specialist treatment in Paris, and ultimately had to have his right hand amputated. Thiệp lost the fourth and fifth fingers on his left hand, which subsequently suffered chronic stiffness and radiation-induced fibrosis. He returned to work at the facility in Hanoi in 1994, after more than 600 days of treatment for acute radiation injuries. [3]
In their report, the IAEA acknowledged the pressures that Vietnamese scientists, working in a developing country, were under. Nevertheless, they recommended better regulation of radiation safety and sweeping recommendations to all irradiation facilities regarding safety systems improvements, including automatic warning signals; emergency cut-out buttons; door interlock systems; a search and lock-up fail-safe system; area radiation monitoring and CCTV to ensure the irradiation room was empty before being switched on. [3]
Thiệp's research centered around the Mössbauer effect and nuclear reaction mechanics. He had held a professorship at Russia's Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. [2]
Phan Khôi was an intellectual leader who inspired a North Vietnamese variety of the Chinese Hundred Flowers Campaign, in which scholars were permitted to criticize the government, but for which he himself was ultimately persecuted by the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Khalid Muhmood is an educationist and an entrepreneur. He is the co-founder of the British University Vietnam (BUV), Apollo English and British Education Partnership. In addition, he served as the Chairman of British Business Group Vietnam (BBGV) initially in Hanoi in 2003 and then nationwide from 2008 to 2010. He was also the Chairman of the Education Working Group at the Vietnam Business Forum.
Edict on the Transfer of the Capital (chữ Hán: 遷都詔, chữ Nôm: 詔移都, Vietnamese: Thiên đô chiếu, Chiếu dời đô) is an edict written at the behest of emperor Lý Thái Tổ and issued in the fall of 1010 to transfer the capital of Đại Cồ Việt from Hoa Lư to Đại La.

The seals of the Nguyễn dynasty can refer to a collection of seals specifically made for the emperors of the Nguyễn dynasty, who reigned over Vietnam between the years 1802 and 1945, or to seals produced during this period in Vietnamese history in general.
The abdication of Bảo Đại took place on 25 August 1945 and marked the end of the 143-year reign of the Nguyễn dynasty over Vietnam ending the Vietnamese monarchy. Emperor Bảo Đại abdicated in response to the August Revolution. A ceremony was held handing power over to the newly established Democratic Republic of Vietnam, which was established during the end of World War II in Asia as Vietnam had been occupied by French and later Japanese imperialists.
Nguyễn Văn Lợi was a Vietnamese linguist who served as the deputy director of the Institute of Linguistics at the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences.
The government of the Nguyễn dynasty, officially the Southern dynasty and commonly referred to as the Huế Court, centred around the emperor as the absolute monarch, surrounded by various imperial agencies and ministries which stayed under the emperor's presidency. Following the signing of the Patenôtre Treaty the French took over a lot of control and while the government of the Nguyễn dynasty still nominally ruled the French protectorates of Annam and Tonkin, in reality the French maintained control over these territories and the Nguyễn government became subsidiary to the administration of French Indochina. During World War II the Japanese launched a coup d'état ousting the French and establishing the Empire of Vietnam which was ruled by the Nguyễn government. During the August Revolution the Nguyễn government was abolished in the aftermath of World War II.
