People get vaccinated against COVID-19. Photo: AFP/VNA In Singapore, technology has really been “powering” to increase the efficiency of vaccine use. Behind every immunization center in Singapore is a vast virtual infrastructure that can capture and categorize each COVID-19 vaccine shot to make the vaccination campaign as effective as possible. Singapore has built integrated solutions to collect and handle data disparities. The system is also flexible to adapt to new cases should Singapore change its COVID-19 vaccination strategy. One of the solutions that Singapore is applying is the development of error detection software. These software can detect errors when people misrepresent personal information during vaccination scheduling before this information is entered into the database and need human correction. Since Singapore launched its COVID-19 vaccination program at an early stage in January, the Integrated Health Information System of Singapore (IHiS) has processed between 4,000 and 5,000 vaccination data per day. . At that time, there were about 200 false declarations every day and all of these errors had to be corrected manually. However, thanks to the software’s continuous improvement, now the number of cases to be corrected is reduced to just 20 per day, while IHiS’s system processes up to 50,000 records per day. In Denmark, technology is used to attract and encourage people to get vaccinated. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark are testing a game with virtual reality technology to educate people about the benefits of vaccination. Users will wear virtual reality glasses, playing the role of an elderly person trying to walk through a crowded square. In this game, the people in the red shirt are infected with COVID-19, while the blue shirts are people who have been vaccinated. Professor Robert Bohm of the University of Copenhagen said that after players experience the virtual reality game for themselves, their intention to vaccinate will be even more motivated. In the United States, several cities and counties in the country, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Newark, are using advanced psychoanalytic technology to help build and expand vaccination programs. These cities have partnered with the company Zencity and the Ash Center of Harvard University’s Kennedy School to study people’s psychology when vaccinating. Through this program, US localities will use Zencity’s tools to collect and analyze citizen feedback from available sources, such as social media posts, online channels, and online channels. local news site. The tool then uses artificial intelligence (AI) to classify and sort the data based on topics, trends, anomalies, and people’s perceptions. Cities will receive a report from Zencity, which includes different demographics about vaccines as well as public sentiment towards the vaccination program. In addition, the report also displays misinformation that may need to be addressed and recommendations on how to communicate the vaccine. This tool is highly appreciated by cities in the US. Deana Gamble, head of communications for the city of Philadelphia, said that thanks to the app, the city government understands that it needs to provide accurate and up-to-date information to those who are still uncertain about the benefits of using the app. vaccinations and how to administer them. Not only does it help speed up vaccination progress, but technology also makes access to a COVID-19 vaccine more equitable for many groups. In Italy, the Lombardy regional government has approved the application of an algorithm developed by scientists to decide who should be given priority to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. A team of scientists from the University of Bicocca in the city of Milan has developed an algorithm that aims to end the controversy over which groups should be given priority to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The researchers divided the patients worst affected by COVID-19 into groups based on age, epidemiological history and many other factors. In addition, a team of experts from the University of Bicocca has also identified 34 conditions and diseases that may increase the risk of contracting COVID-19, including diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anemia and other diseases. blood cancer. “We believe that by vaccinating those most at risk, we can avoid hundreds of intubation and deaths in Lombardy and beyond,” said Professor Giovanni Corrao of the University of Bicocca. all of Italy”. Currently, the Italian Ministry of Health is also considering recommendations for the use of this technology nationwide. If vaccines are considered a powerful weapon for humans against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the above specific examples show that technology, in many different forms, can increase the strength and effectiveness of the virus. this weapon, thereby helping people soon “reach the target” of herd immunity.

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visits the vaccine research and production laboratory of the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung A representative of the Military Medical Academy said that it has successfully researched and manufactured a test kit to detect the new strain of corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time RT-PCR method, used at more than 100 facilities. healthcare throughout the country and exported to 18 countries around the world. Continuing to research and successfully manufacture Amphabio PCR test kits with the ability to test quickly and in large quantities at the same time, which is currently being used effectively in Bac Giang province. Notably, the Academy has been trusted by the Ministry of Health to carry out phase 1 and 2 clinical trials for the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19 (from December 2020) and both are generating antibodies. It is expected that from June 2021, there will be a phase 3 clinical trial, deploying over 13,000 volunteers 18 years of age or older. In addition, the Academy has mobilized staff to support the prevention and control of Covid-19 in Quang Nam, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and Laos. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited and worked at the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung Speaking at the meeting, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue highly appreciated the efforts and achievements that the Military Medical Academy has achieved during 72 years of construction and growth, which has received the most noble achievements of the Party. , state and military. In particular, in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Military Medical Academy is one of the active, active and effective participating units. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that in the current period, the task of effective disease prevention is the focus in the implementation of “dual duty”, so vaccines are an important “weapon”, strategic, decisive issues to end and conquer disease. “The XIII Congress of the Party has set a key task of focusing on controlling the Covid-19 pandemic, mass vaccination of the community with Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, the Military Medical Academy closely coordinates with other agencies. Relevant ministries and sectors urgently speed up the phase 3 clinical trial of the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19, striving for early results to have a preventive vaccine for the community” – National Assembly Chairman assigned. The National Assembly Chairman also suggested that the Military Medical Academy should identify challenges such as, there are many domestic and foreign facilities focusing on research and production of vaccines. Mr. Vuong Dinh Hue analyzed that if there is no superior vaccine in terms of quality, price and supply quantity, it will fall into an opportunity trap. A number of vaccine products have been born and put into circulation in countries, along with rigorous testing by the health systems of countries, approved by WHO. However, there is currently a vaccine that has shown its effectiveness compared to the new variant; There are scenarios of monopolistic production, imposing price and quantity, but also opportunities for technology transfer in the direction of humane sharing. “So, the Military Medical Academy to research and produce vaccines, it is necessary to have the shortest time of antibodies, the shortest number of days, the better. The side effects must be minimized, especially for people with underlying diseases. and weak health. Having the ability to resist and adapt to new variants of the virus,” suggested the National Assembly Chairman. At the meeting, the Military Medical Academy proposed to allow the Academy to organize the implementation of the project “Research and Development Center for Human Infectious Diseases” which was approved by the Prime Minister at the government office. Document No. 164 dated December 31, 2020 of the Government Office, which is expected to have a number of functions and tasks such as research on pathogens, development and production of biological products for detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. treating infectious diseases, especially dangerous and extremely dangerous diseases, contributing to protecting the health of soldiers and people, especially in emergency and disaster situations. Researching foundational technologies in development, technology transfer and production of vaccines against infectious diseases, especially dangerous and dangerous infectious diseases. Agreeing with the proposal of the Military Medical Academy, National Assembly Chairwoman Vuong Dinh Hue suggested, the Academy needs a state-level scientific research program and emergency approval to research and test. production of vaccines for human infectious diseases. The Ministry of National Defense shall assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with relevant agencies in, facilitating and directing the Military Medical Academy to accelerate the implementation of the project “Research and development center for human infectious diseases vaccines” under the theme of: Government policy. Also this afternoon, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited the vaccine research and production laboratory at the Military Medicine Research Center building, under the Military Medical Academy. The National Assembly Chairman graciously encouraged the forces directly involved in research, production and volunteers to test the Covid-19 vaccine.

The cooperation between Coca-Cola and The Ocean Cleanup will accelerate the implementation of the Interceptor system to clean 15 rivers globally. Accordingly, the two sides will coordinate to deploy a system to collect plastic waste and clean up 15 rivers around the world within the next 18 months, including the introduction and application of a semi-automatic river sanitation solution using The Ocean Cleanup’s Solar Interceptor. The two sides also called for the attention and action of industries and individuals around the world to solve the problem of plastic waste, prevent plastic waste from entering the ocean, thereby protecting the ecosystem. species and water resources. Boyan Slat, founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, said: “The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to remove plastic waste from the oceans. With 1,000 rivers carrying nearly 80% of plastic waste directly into the sea, this problem is becoming more and more serious. This is also the reason why we are always looking for solutions to speed up the implementation of the program. Among the waste we collect are many plastic bottles, including Coca-Cola products, so we appreciate that Coca-Cola is the first company to accompany The Ocean Cleanup. This is also an action program in Coca-Cola’s grand strategy to create a positive impact, contributing to solving the global plastic pollution problem.” James Quincey, President and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company said: “As a global company, we work hard to ensure that all the materials we use for packaging are collected and recycled, and will not become waste. We support The Ocean Cleanup and its technological solutions to protect the ocean ecosystem and also contribute to the conservation of our water resources.”

During the pilot period, users do not have to pay service fees. Funding for implementation comes from funding from the European Commission and support from agencies implementing the pilot plan. It is known that the plan to connect two-wheeled electric vehicles with BRT fast buses in the planned pilot area has been reported to the City People’s Committee by the Hanoi Department of Transport and Communications. After being approved by the city, stakeholders will soon implement this model.

A healthcare worker is vaccinated against COVID-19 at a hospital in Kolkata, India. Photo: AP In India, the number of infections on May 30 was 165,553 cases, the lowest level in the past 6 weeks. The number of deaths also tended to decrease, to 3,460 cases and the third day in a row below 4,000 cases.

The vaccination campaign is being accelerated by India, although vaccine supply remains a big challenge. As of May 30, India has injected more than 212 million doses of the vaccine, ranking third in the world after China and the US. About 12% of the population was vaccinated with at least one dose, of which 3.1% were fully vaccinated. Prime Minister Narenda Modi’s government said on May 30 that about 120 million doses of the vaccine will be included in the vaccination program in June, a significant increase from 79.8 million doses in May. , government advisers also said that India could reach a supply of 2 billion doses of vaccine between August and December this year, mainly from two domestic manufacturers, the Serum Institute of India (Serum Institute of India). SII) – responsible for producing vaccine samples of AstraZeneca and Bharat Biotech Company, the focal point of domestic production of Covaxin vaccine. In June, the government will provide 60.9 million doses of vaccine to the states to vaccinate health workers along with some other forces on the frontline against the epidemic, people over 45 years old. About 58.6 million doses will be ordered and distributed by state governments and private hospitals. Malaysia on May 30 recorded 6,999 new cases of COVID-19 and was the 5th consecutive day of outbreaks of infection. The government of this country plans to set up more large-scale vaccination centers, mobilize private medical staff to participate in vaccination campaigns in the context of Malaysia preparing to implement a nationwide shutdown. for a period of two weeks, from June 1-14. Medical staff take samples for COVID-19 testing for people in Selangor, Malaysia on May 23, 2021. Photo: THX/VNA Speaking at an online press conference on May 30, Malaysian Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Khairy Jamaluddin said the government will establish five new large-scale vaccination centers in Kuala Lumpur and have Two more similar centers could be established in the northern state of Penang and the southern state of Johor. Each of such centers has the capacity to administer 40,000 doses of vaccination per day. The Government will also conduct training and training for doctors and nurses to perform vaccinations, stemming from the fact that some vaccines need different handling and storage methods and are different from conventional vaccines. Mr. Jamaluddin also said that the supply of vaccines will increase in the near future, so the government will mobilize manpower from hospitals and private medical centers to voluntarily participate in the vaccination campaign. According to Jamaluddin, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s government is also expected to set up mobile vaccination centers at roads to vaccinate people. Currently, about 6% of Malaysia’s 32 million people have received at least one vaccination. In the Philippines, the head of the Philippine Government’s COVID-19 Task Force, Mr. Czar Carlito Galvez Jr, said on May 30 that more than 5 million doses of the vaccine have been administered to people, after nearly 3 months of implementation. vaccination campaign. People wear masks to prevent COVID-19 infection in Manila, Philippines. Photo: THX/VNA Most of these were administered to priority groups, including 1.4 million doses for healthcare workers, 1.368 million doses for the elderly and 1,150 million doses for people with underlying medical conditions. Vaccines introduced in the Philippines include Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V and Pfizer. Galvez also said that in June, the Philippines is expected to receive an additional 10 million doses of vaccine, including the amount of vaccine through the Covax Initiative program, 2.3 million doses of Pfizer vaccine, 2 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine and 1 million doses of vaccine. Sinovac vaccine. The first batch of 250,000 doses of Moderna is also expected to arrive on June 21. The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte has set a target of vaccinating about 70 million people or more than 50% of the population this year. However, this plan is facing major challenges. In addition to the limited supply of vaccines, the lack of confidence in Chinese vaccines is also a big barrier. It was Mr. Duterte who recently had to speak to reassure, urging people to avoid the mentality of choosing a vaccine, but to see that having a vaccine to inject is already a good thing.

Countries are looking for ways to encourage people to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Photo: Getty Starting May 27, the first two million Californians to get vaccinated will each receive $50 in cash or a gift card. California Governor Gavin Newsom said this is part of an effort to promote vaccination as the state prepares to fully reopen the economy on June 15. “I announce the application of incentive cards. Two million cards will be applied on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re 12 or older, you can get a credit card or $50 cash,” Newsom said. 10 Californians vaccinated before June 15 also have a chance to win a $1.5 million lottery prize. States and private organizations across the country also offer a variety of incentives to convince people to get vaccinated, from free baseball tickets and beer, to college scholarships and cash. Meanwhile in Iraq, the private sector is also launching initiatives to support the government’s vaccination program. A cafe in the capital Baghdad announced free service to customers who have been vaccinated. You just need to show the vaccination certificate, you will be served free delicious coffee in the shop. Shop owner Yasser Alaa said the initiative was meant to emphasize the importance of vaccination. “I think we should expand the initiatives. Life is returning to normal thanks to vaccines. We have no weapons other than vaccines in this battle. We want to urge people to understand the importance of vaccines,” Alaa said. In Chile, if you get the vaccine, you will receive a “travel pass”, which allows you to move freely within the country. “This helps to make it easier for people who have had enough vaccinations to meet and have more contact with their loved ones,” said Chile’s health minister. However, there are limits to who can receive the card. They are not allowed to travel during the curfew, respecting public health regulations. Other measures including wearing masks and social distancing must still be observed. Freedom of movement does not include travel abroad, and the “Travel Pass” will use a QR code, allowing the government to change people’s status instantly if they become infected. The European Union’s “digital certification of Covid-19”, which requires users to have a Covid-19 vaccine, is expected to take effect from July 1, is also a motivation for people to European countries speed up vaccine coverage. There is still a fear of vaccination not only in Africa but also in developed countries such as Europe or the US. Practically any vaccine has an adverse reaction. This is true for every drug, pharmaceutical, and even food. However, according to the assessment of the World Health Organization, the risks posed by vaccines are much lower than the benefits. The incidence of adverse reactions is very low. Therefore, we should not be too concerned to ignore a powerful weapon in the fight against this dangerous virus.

Blue light is the cause of rapid skin aging. Image source: Internet In daily life, blue light penetrates the skin and causes cell damage, and accelerates the aging process. Even brief exposures of less than 60 minutes can cause skin aging. Smoke Besides affecting health, smoking is not good for the skin as the habit causes the amount of oxygen to the cells to decrease. The obvious consequence is wrinkles around the mouth and eye area. Some other factors that are affected when you smoke include elasticity, skin texture, restorative function and pore size. Unhealthy diet Bad eating habits can stimulate oxidative stress in the body due to harmful free radicals. An unhealthy diet can lead to skin damage, wrinkles and even cancer. Consuming nutrient-rich foods like green vegetables and seasonal foods helps maintain youthfulness and fight the aging process. Irregular sleep Irregular sleep is also a factor that promotes the aging process. A person must have a good night’s sleep lasting 6-8 hours per night. Improper sleep patterns can cause dark circles under the eyes and affect health. Lack of sleep can depress mental alertness and lead to premature aging. Use face wipes Aside from washing technique, the way you dry your skin afterwards is also a factor in causing aging skin. Facial wipes can help you remove dirt and excess oil left on your skin after washing your face. However, using a face towel is not necessarily a good habit. When using a face towel, many people have a habit of having a strong impact on the skin. “Rubbing the skin can cause low-grade inflammation. Over time, this can cause skin pigmentation. Even rubbing will promote premature wrinkles,” says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner at Glamor. Therefore, experts recommend drying your skin with a soft towel. Or, better yet, get rid of the towel altogether. Rachel Nazarian, a dermatologist in Schweiger, New York, says: “Air-drying is the best method. It’s a simple way to prevent any irritation, inflammation and signs of aging.”

Especially in the summer, women will not be able to “stop their mouths” with sugary drinks, fruit cakes… The more sugar in the summer, the faster the aging speed of beauty. Sugar – the culprit that causes skin to age quickly, prone to pimples, easy to catch the sun, dark and old Too much sugar makes the collagen in the skin and body work less efficiently, the skin cells harden, leading to a decrease in elasticity. Wrinkles will become more and more imprinted, making the skin rough, rough, even causing serious dermatitis. The more sugar you eat, the worse your skin condition will become. Eating a lot of sweets will cause the body to secrete male hormones, which increases the amount of oil secreted on the skin, the pores from there getting bigger and bigger, causing the blockage, causing the skin to break out, leading to scars. Continuous bruising appears on the skin. Along with the hot summer sun, the skin is more prone to oil secretion. The skin condition is getting worse and worse, making you always in a state of discomfort. So eating less sugar is something that every girl needs to apply to have smooth, white skin throughout the summer. Sugar – the cause of oily skin damage, hair loss in buns As mentioned above, eating a lot of sugar will tend to secrete male hormones, increasing the amount of oil not only in the face but also in the scalp. An oily scalp makes the hair sticky very quickly, the pores on the scalp are clogged and damaged, causing the hair to fall out in a bun. No matter how carefully you wash your hair and take care of your hair, you will still experience constant hair loss. Eat a lot of sugar: The body accumulates excess fat, within 2 days a fat One of the negative effects of eating too much sugar in the body is weight gain, the body stores more and more fat. Excess sugar will be stored as body fat. Therefore, a diet high in sugar for a long time will lead to overweight and obesity. Eating a lot of sugar can also increase ghrelin, the hormone that causes hunger. So you will always tend to eat more, mainly carbohydrate rich foods which leads to the accumulation of fat in the belly. No matter how hard you practice, no matter how fast you eat, as long as you are still hungry for sweets, your 2nd round will still be full of fat. This is the reason why the skin ages quickly, the hair loses both buns and the 2nd round of fat. Eating a lot of sugar brings a lot of negative things to the beauty of women, you need to curb it right away to immediately improve the problems that are arising with your skin, hair and physique.

Loaded too much sugar It breaks down and slows down the collagen building process. This is one of the main factors that cause skin aging. Losing collagen, the skin tends to form wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity. Image: Shutterstock . Lectins (a protein found in food) can cause allergic reactions such as skin rashes, inflammation. Besides, this type of protein reduces the ability to absorb nutrients such as vitamins or minerals.

To keep your skin youthful, you should build a habit of applying sunscreen daily, even when working from home. Besides, using more hats and sunscreen to keep skin from the sun is important. At the end of the day, don’t forget to cleanse and moisturize every day. Photo: @museoftoday, @lisanadia. You should also take the time to build a scientific diet. One of the important factors to keep in mind is removing sugar from the daily menu. Focus on natural fruit sugars in reasonable amounts. In particular, you should limit drinking alcohol.

Push-ups are a way to help you accelerate weight loss. Photo source: Internet This is a very good exercise for the body in the morning, when the stomach has not eaten anything, the practice of push-ups or plank will help burn belly fat effectively. Combining a healthy diet and maintaining a workout routine is the shortest path to successful weight loss. Eat some spicy food Adding a little spice to your food will not only help you eat better, but most of all, it will make you eat slower and less. Moreover, moderately spicy foods are suitable for healthy diets to lose weight and reduce excess fat effectively. Foods that accelerate weight loss Asparagus Asparagus is known as the “king” of vegetables because it is rich in nutrients that are good for the body, including vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and essential minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and zinc. In addition, asparagus is also very good for weight loss because of its high fiber content and low calories. According to Eatthis, asparagus is also considered a natural diuretic, so it can help reduce feelings of bloating and hangover symptoms. Kiwi As one of the few foods with a harmonious combination of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, kiwi works to support the digestive system and promote weight loss. Not only that, but this fruit also offers many health benefits, including reducing inflammatory symptoms and improving heart health. Grapefruit Not only does it contain high levels of healthy vitamin C, but grapefruit is also rich in phytochemicals – a biologically active compound that breaks down fat, stimulates brown fat cells to burn calories, and reduces cravings. In particular, adding grapefruit to the diet is not only highly effective but also quite safe and easy because grapefruit has a delicious taste that is easy to eat.

China pushes up chip production for technology autonomy In addition to “Made in China 2025”, China also has a “dual circulation” strategy, with the ambition to introduce new technology standards different from the West. Fast but unstable With this new strategy, China moves towards a self-sufficiency policy, reducing dependence on foreign countries. Specifically, with semiconductor technology, China will mobilize its own human resources to develop a new-generation chip research, design and production network to disrupt the isolation created by the US. The trade war with Western countries is seen as a reminder to the Chinese leadership that the country cannot depend on imports but must develop domestic core technology and pursue leaps and bounds. technology, especially in essential industries like semiconductors. China has set out many goals to realize its ambition such as: fostering a contingent of domestic technology talent, building high-tech companies with global influence to expand the model of “sovereignty network “in order to strictly control the Internet. In addition, there is securing secure information infrastructure, enhancing state censorship and surveillance in the digital space, and building a managed and enhanced digital economy. network security capabilities. Beijing has also stepped up building a “digital China” towards fulfilling its future technological ambitions of the world in the fields of quantum computing, 5G, semiconductors, and blockchain technology. (blockchain), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and robotics. With the aim of accelerating the technology autonomy plan, China Development Bank prepared more than $ 60 billion in loans for more than 1,000 key businesses in its strategic innovation plan, and raised $ 30 billion for a new government-backed microchip fund. From March this year, news that Eastern Communications, a subsidiary of China Putian Information Industry Group (Potevio), will restructure and merge with China Electronic Technology Corporation (CETC) to make surplus. attention comment. The reason is that Potevio and CETC are both state-owned enterprises, run by the China State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). Potevio is an enterprise specializing in manufacturing telecommunications equipment, such as components for 5G infrastructure, server systems, memory, automatic teller machines. Potevio’s strengths relate to wireless communication and security. Meanwhile, CETC is the main supplier for the Beihou satellite system and is known to be a software and service provider for the Chinese military. The company also participates in the development of a Chinese version of the Windows operating system and develops many other areas such as the manufacture of semiconductors and antennas for 5G networks, and equipment for technology. self-propelled vehicle. The merger is intended to enhance the CETC’s resilience from US sanctions against the group’s companies, including Hikvision, the world’s top security camera maker. However, although China is actively promoting domestic technology development, it is difficult for observers to reach its goal of technological autonomy. In the past, Beijing had planned to spend 2.5% of its GDP on research and development, but actual spending has yet to reach that target. One area that has struggled with China is microchips, where most electronic products depend on it. In the past, Chinese companies were confused by the extremely complicated chip manufacturing process, so they decided instead of researching, they imported most of the necessary semiconductors. Over the years, although the government has supported the Chinese manufacturers to develop some chip manufacturing capabilities, the results have not been as expected. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, Chinese chipmakers have received government subsidies of up to $ 50 billion over the past 20 years. Domestic companies also benefit from tax exemptions, free land, concessional loans, and priority purchases. Despite progress in chip design, China’s problem lies in its ability to produce high-end chips. China is currently only able to make mid-range chips because making semiconductor chips requires high precision. Many doubts The gradual technological autonomy has led China to a bolder plan: to export technology abroad. The dominant Chinese products in the world market are drones, laser equipment, equipment used in space technology, 3D printing, telecommunications equipment … China has taken advantage of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to implement this plan. Through the BRI, in Africa, China provides loans, exports technology and builds infrastructure to countries such as Guinea and Kenya, while exploiting the natural resources of the leading country. private. China has organized a number of technology fairs, digital economy with many countries participating in BRI such as: Digital technology fair with 17 countries in Central and Eastern Europe belonging to Group 17 + 1; Digital technology forum with 5 countries in Central Asia including: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan. These fairs aim to launch 1,334 digital and information technology projects along the “Digital Silk Road” corridor with 3 continents of Asia – Europe – Africa, of which, the focus is on regions. : Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and East Africa. At the same time, to deploy new types of technology such as Internet connecting things, big data, digital infrastructure and project “Smart Africa” ​​with 26 countries in Africa. Major Chinese technology companies such as Huawei and ZTE expand their “Digital Silk Road” plan through Chinese-built fiber-optic networks, as well as equip local authorities with monitoring tools. Internet monitoring and censorship. There are no official technology export statistics for 2020, but the most recent report said that in 2019, China’s technology exports reached a trade value of 32.1 billion USD, equivalent to import value. This is a miraculous development, because 6 years ago, the proportion of export – import was 1 – 2. However, the technology “made in China” still caused many doubts. Observers say that Chinese companies are exporting “next generation surveillance systems” in several regions of the world, including Latin America. Venezuela alone, with the help of Chinese telecommunications conglomerate ZTE, has built up a database that can track citizens’ behavior through citizenship. The use of big data for security purposes is acceptable to the general public in South America, but after being widely used, those systems can be misused for espionage purposes. Moreover, according to observers, the Chinese technology industry, although developing rapidly, is not stable. This country has not mastered the technology of new generation chip production that the US, Japan, and South Korea are very proficient in. China’s domestic chip production will only meet 15.9% of the country’s demand in 2020, said IC Insights, a semiconductor research company in the US, compared with 15.1%. in 2014.

On the day of the trial, they took 3 mg / kg of caffeine or a placebo at 8 o’clock and 17 hours, and followed strict exercise and dietary guidelines. The results showed that the amount of caffeine consumed 30 minutes before aerobic exercise increased maximum fat oxidation in the whole body. In addition, the scientists found that the efficiency was significantly higher when performing a series of exercises in the afternoon. Espresso is a very popular coffee and is popular with many people. Espresso first appeared in Italy in 1930, then spread to Spain and other European countries. Currently, this coffee has become an indispensable part of the coffee culture of people around the world. Even many coffee fans often say that, if you have never tried Espresso, you have not really stepped into the coffee world. Espresso coffee is machine-brewed, using hot water compressed by high pressure through finely ground coffee powder. The broth used to make Espresso is pure water, and the coffee used to prepare this method must also be rustic roasted coffee, not seasoned with any impurities.

At the workshop, representatives of the units / localities discussed to develop a plan as well as organize the implementation of the first 1,000 days of nutritional care program in which identifying and analyzing priority issues. local, target development, selection of solutions, planning activities and program evaluation indicators.

After the seminar, localities will actively review and develop plans to submit to local authorities for approval and implement implementation to accelerate the reduction of stunting malnutrition in the country in general. As well as in mountainous areas, ethnic minorities in particular contribute to improving the physical stature of Vietnamese people, successfully implementing the goal of improving nutritional status of the Sixth Conference of the Central Committee. Program XII and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

On December 5, 2019, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1896 / QD-TTg approving the program “Nutrition care for the first 1,000 days of life to prevent maternal and child malnutrition, and improve the Vietnamese stature ”.

The program sets specific goals, to 2025, the rate of stunting in children under 5 years old is less than 20%; The rate of underweight malnutrition among children under 5 years old is less than 11%, particularly in ethnic minority and mountainous areas less than 15%; the proportion of children with a low birth weight (less than 2,500 grams) was less than 8%; the rate of anemia among pregnant women is below 23%, particularly in mountainous areas below 25.5%; 80% of mothers practiced early breastfeeding and 25% of mothers exclusively breastfed their babies in the first 6 months; 60% of mothers continued to breastfeed until their babies were 24 months old or longer; 70% of mothers gave children from 6-24 months of age correctly.
