Train drivers union GDL resolves industrial action at the railway

Status: 23.06.2021 12:54 p.m.

With the beginning of the summer holidays in some federal states, rail passengers have to be prepared for strikes. The train drivers’ union GDL decided a labor dispute. The GDL intends to announce tomorrow exactly how it should look. At Deutsche Bahn, train driver strikes in the middle of the holiday season are getting closer. The union of German locomotive drivers (GDL) decided on concrete industrial action after failed negotiations with the employers’ association Move. GDL boss Claus Weselsky will not announce the exact scope and time of possible work stoppages until Thursday at a press conference in Berlin. According to the GDL, the corresponding committee resolutions are available. A railway spokeswoman asked the union to return to the negotiating table. There are well-founded offers for more wages and additional protection against dismissal on the table, about which the GDL top has so far refused serious negotiations.

First warning strike since December 2018

Immediately before the start of the school holidays in several federal states, the union is increasing the pressure on the management of the railway. The GDL declared the negotiations to have failed last Tuesday. It is the first warning strike on the railways since December 2018, when the Railway and Transport Union (EVG) called on its members to take part in a labor dispute. Both unions are fighting with each other for influence in the state company. The EVG had already reached a collective agreement last autumn. From the beginning of 2022, employees will receive 1.5 percent more money – little compared to collective bargaining rounds in better times. Compulsory redundancies are excluded until the end of 2023.

GDL wants more

The GDL wants to get more out of money and working hours. Both sides had moved somewhat towards each other before the failure of the negotiations. Based on the collective bargaining agreement for the public service, the GDL is calling for an income increase of 1.4 percent plus a corona bonus this year and a further 1.8 percent next year. The employees deserved more than compensation for the price increase, argues Weselsky.

According to its own statements, Deutsche Bahn had proposed increases in incomes as in the public sector, but in relation to the airport sector. An “emergency collective agreement” had been concluded for airports because of the slump in traffic. The 1.4 percent increase in income there will only be in October 2022, the other 1.8 percent not until April 2023. Employers will also have the option of reducing working hours by six percent in 2022. The level of the collective agreement for the public service is to be reached in October 2023

Heil is promoting training bonuses There should be no “Corona vintage”

Status: 06/22/2021 05:07

The second year of training since the beginning of the corona pandemic begins in September. The federal government supports training companies with training bonuses, but Labor Minister Heil is still worried about a corona kink on the apprenticeship market. Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil sees the German training market facing a critical phase after months of the pandemic. The number of apprenticeships like applicants had already decreased last year, said the minister. Figures from the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training prove this. The test comes this summer, “Heil told the Funke media group. “We are currently fighting the clock as the training year begins on September 1st.” It is clear: “We are not allowed to allow a Corona class in training.”

6000 euros bonus per apprenticeship position

Many companies were hesitant at the moment because they believed they could not afford apprentices at the moment. Heil called on companies to make greater use of state support offers such as the training bonus. The bonus has been approved for almost 40,000 training positions since last summer.

Heil pointed out that the new protective umbrella for training has been in place since the beginning of June. The premium was also doubled in March. Companies affected by a pandemic that keep their training quota have been receiving EUR 4,000 per apprenticeship position since the beginning of June, and EUR 6,000 for new trainee positions.

According to the Federal Ministry of Labor, the program has a total volume of 410 million euros for the current year. By mid-June, around 88 million euros, almost a fifth, had been paid out

“When Covid-19 hit, the number of tourists dropped to a very low level, just like a trickle. We are struggling to make a living. How do we feed the horses?”, Ms. Begum talk to AFP . During last year’s blockade, 41 horses, including Begum’s eight, died, she added. Dozens of horses in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, starve to death because their owners can’t afford to feed them. Photo: AFP. At Cox’s Bazar, people often keep horses to rent to tourists when they go out on the beach. The owners of the horses say they are struggling to have enough money to buy hay for their cattle. Some owners have freed their horses, in the hope that they can make a living on their own. Not to mention raising cattle, horse owners here say they also struggle to feed their families. Many people, including Ms. Begum, have to borrow money from small lending companies to make ends meet. “Every week, employees of the loan company come to my house to collect installment loans. But, if tourists don’t come to Cox’s Bazar, I don’t have the money to pay,” Begum said, adding that she borrowed about $1,200. Dozens of horse riders, often hired by horse owners to teach tourists how to ride, have turned to cart drivers or masons. Like many other countries, Bangladesh is struggling with a new wave of Covid-19. The health system is bearing the brunt, and lockdowns have been imposed across the country.

As a result, the village becomes a golden place for city dwellers looking to find a peaceful and comfortable “shelter” to rest or work remotely. The demand to buy houses here from people from other regions has pushed housing prices in Krasnaya Polyana to double. Krasnaya Polyana village is located in the mountains near the Black Sea. (Photo: Reuters) The price of land in Russia is calculated in units of sotki – 100m2. Nikolai Rogachev, a shop owner in Krasnaya Polyana, said the price of a sotki of land here has increased from $27,200 to $68,000 during the pandemic. According to him, land prices will continue to increase sharply and may reach 95,200 USD/sotki by the end of 2021, especially when domestic tourism demand increases sharply because people are restricted from leaving the country. According to data from real estate company CIAN, homes in the village range in price from $544,000 to more than $12 million. The demand to buy is mainly from wealthy businessmen in big cities, because the price of houses in Krasnaya Polyana exceeds the financial ability of ordinary Russians. Rents have also increased as many see Krasnaya Polyana as an escape from the city. It has up to 20 cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars, and high-speed internet. The village is only a 40-minute drive from the airport and the traffic is very open, convenient for short stays. “ People have noticed the advantages of the village: It is in the same time zone as Moscow, only 2 hours by flight from the capital, has a ski area in the winter, has a beach in the summer, and good infrastructure “, said Ilya Kreimer, an investor in the village of Krasnaya Polyana. Taking advantage of the potentials gained during the COVID-19 pandemic, Krasnaya Polyana is expected to become Russia’s new “Silicon valley” (high-tech commercial district).

ILO report millions Domestic servants are exploited

Status: 15.06.2021 6:05 p.m.

Working conditions for domestic workers have continued to deteriorate during the corona pandemic, according to a report by the International Labor Organization. Women are most affected. Ten years after a UN Protection Convention was passed, millions of domestic workers are still suffering from exploitation and poor working conditions. The Corona crisis has made the precarious social situation of children, women and men even worse, said the International Labor Organization (ILO) in a report. Many would have lost their jobs during the global pandemic. While, according to the report, the situation for many employees visibly improved before the pandemic, the conditions are now often worse again. ILO Director General Guy Ryder therefore called for all domestic workers to receive fair contracts as well as job and social protection.

06/02/2021

More than a third without protection

More than a third of all 76 million domestic workers had no protection whatsoever, especially in Asia and in Arab countries, according to the ILO chief. According to the information, almost 58 million of the 76 million domestic workers worldwide are women. The ILO, which is part of the United Nations, passed the Convention for the Protection of Domestic Workers in mid-June 2011. It applies to employees who cook, clean, look after children and the elderly and do other work in other households.

05.12.2018

UN convention is ignored

According to the convention, domestic workers should receive a minimum wage, paid rest periods and holidays. They also have a right to secure jobs that do not endanger their health. The agreement also prohibits any form of harassment, abuse and violence. The employees have the right to an employment contract – if the contract is breached, they should be able to sue in court. It is also stated that domestic workers under the age of 18 enjoy special protection. However, the regulations made in the UN Convention are often ignored. Domestic workers are often employed informally and so cannot exercise their rights.

Domestic workers have been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo: ILO) In Vietnam, domestic workers are now subject to labor laws, but the challenge that Vietnam currently faces is compliance with the law. These are the comments of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in its latest report published on June 15. On the occasion of International Labor Day Domestic Workers (June 16), the ILO released the Report Making Decent Work a Reality for Domestic Workers: Progress and Prospects in Asia and the Pacific Duong. The report shows that, ten years after the adoption of the Domestic Workers Convention of 2011 (Convention No. 189), the majority of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region ( 61.5%) are still completely out of the scope of national labor laws while 84.3% of them still work in informal jobs. The absence of national labor laws and the high level of informality continue to severely affect the working conditions of domestic workers in the Asia-Thailand region. Binh Duong. More than 50% of domestic workers are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region Chihoko Asada Miyakawa, Director of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, said that there is an urgent need to formalize domestic work in Asia and the Pacific, starting with employment. domestic help is regulated by labor law and social security to ensure this important worker enjoys the protection and respect they deserve. The Philippines is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has ratified the Domestic Labor Convention ten years after its ratification. According to statistics, the Asia-Pacific region has 38.3 million domestic workers aged 15 and over (of which 78.4% are female), equivalent to 50.6% of domestic workers. families around the world, and this is the largest employer of domestic workers worldwide. In which, China accounts for the majority of these workers (22 million). This is also the region that employs the most male domestic workers, accounting for 46.1% of the male labor rate. families around the world. The data shows that the majority of domestic workers in the region are not subject to any limits on working hours (71%) or enjoy weekly leave (64%) under the provisions of the Labor Code. current labor law. The report also shows that domestic workers are often the lowest paid in the labor market, especially when they work in the informal sector. It is estimated that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region due to the high level of informality and the lack of protections provided for in the law. leading to job loss. Their risk of losing their job is 2-3 times higher than that of other workers. Domestic workers in Vietnam need to be protected in practice Vietnam is one of the few countries in the region bringing domestic workers under the scope of labor law. The Labor Code 2019 and the accompanying Decree No. 145/2000/ND-CP stipulate that family workers must have a written contract that meets certain standards, including limits on working hours. and rest time. Among Southeast Asian countries, only in Vietnam are domestic workers entitled to a minimum wage at least equal to the minimum wage for other workers. According to ILO Vietnam Director, Dr. Chang-Hee Lee, although Vietnam has made significant progress, which includes bringing domestic workers under the protection of the labor law, But the challenge facing today is how to strengthen compliance with the law and close the gap between the protections provided in the law and the actual experience of domestic workers. According to a new ILO report, 19% of domestic workers in Vietnam work through service providers, and the number of domestic workers migrating abroad has continuously increased over the past decade. by. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic workers have become much more vulnerable to job loss than other types of workers. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, the rate of domestic workers decreased by 17% in the second quarter of 2020, while the unemployment rate of other hired workers in the same period was only 6.1%. . In parallel with some domestic workers losing their jobs, others have reduced working hours. Both of these situations lead to a significant reduction in total wages received. In the second quarter of 2020, the working hours of domestic workers in Vietnam decreased by 24.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to job loss and reduced working hours, the wages that laborers earn Domestic helpers in Vietnam received decreased by 26.2%. By 2026, Vietnam is expected to ratify the ILO Domestic Workers Convention (Convention No. 189). In the Asia-Pacific region, there are still 61.5% of domestic workers who are not subject to labor laws. – 84.3% of domestic workers in the informal sector work in informal work, while this figure for other workers is 52.8%. – 64% of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region are not entitled to weekly leave…

Deutsche Bahn Train drivers announce strike

Status: 08.06.2021 1:43 p.m.

The collective bargaining has failed, the labor dispute is a done deal: The German Engine Drivers Union wants to call for a strike at Deutsche Bahn. A date is not yet known. Deutsche Bahn customers have to be prepared for strikes. The union of German locomotive drivers (GDL) declared its collective bargaining negotiations with the company to have failed and decided to take industrial action. The union has not yet announced a date. It also left open which areas of the company could be affected. The fourth round of negotiations between employers and employees also failed to bring an agreement on Monday. “We wanted to negotiate and reach an agreement, but DB refused again,” said union leader Claus Weselsky. He accused the railway of wanting to worsen the working conditions of the train crew and of lying in statements to the contrary.

First strike since December 2018

In the event of a strike, it would be the first at Deutsche Bahn since December 2018, when the Railway and Transport Union (EVG) called on its members to take part in a labor dispute. The last wave of strikes by the GDL was six years ago. The railway had already seen the escalation coming after the unsuccessful conversation in Berlin. After the meeting, Chief Human Resources Officer Martin Seiler criticized that the union aimed at confrontation at all costs. The GDL consciously accept damage for customers. The group is still ready to talk.

According to the railway, the union is not ready to talk

According to its own statements, the railway proposed a collective bargaining agreement on Monday that would have brought employees increased incomes, as in the public sector in the airport sector. However, the union refused to talk about leeway and solutions. You insist on significantly higher demands. The contracting parties in the public service agreed in autumn on wage and salary increases of 3.2 percent over a period of 28 months. Due to the slump in traffic, however, special rules apply at airports with delayed tariff increases, reduced working hours and a suspension of performance-related pay.

Deutsche Bahn announced at an inopportune time

The labor dispute hits not only the customers, but also the financially troubled company at an inopportune moment. After the relaxation of the corona rules, the state-owned company’s business is picking up speed again. In regional traffic you drive the full range, in long-distance traffic almost 100 percent, said Seiler. “Bookings are picking up again, that’s nice.” It is all the more important that the GDL make its contribution in solidarity. In September, the railway had put together a tariff package with its largest union, the railway and transport union. From the beginning of 2022, employees will receive 1.5 percent more money. No redundancies for operational reasons are possible until the end of 2023. In previous collective bargaining rounds, the almost 215,000 Deutsche Bahn employees were able to look forward to some significantly higher increases in income. The GDL refused to take part in the negotiations. An arbitration in autumn failed. After the wage agreement expired at the end of February, the new round of negotiations began.

The delegation of the Coordination Office of the Provincial New Rural Development Program evaluated the dried bamboo shoots of Thanh Lam commune according to the criteria of OCOP products. In the locality, the delegation visited the raw material area, the exploitation, preliminary processing and processing of bamboo and bamboo shoots products of the people in the commune. With thousands of hectares of natural wild bamboo and hundreds of hectares of bamboo, bamboo and bamboo shoots, Thanh Lam commune has great potential for bamboo products. Exploiting and growing bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots has created many jobs for the people of Thanh Lam upland commune. It is known that the exploitation and processing of dried bamboo shoots has existed and developed for many generations in this highland commune of Nhu Xuan district. Hundreds of laborers have jobs and stable incomes from exploiting and developing bamboo materials, dozens of families specialize in purchasing for preliminary processing, drying and drying of bamboo shoots. Currently, the drying stage of bamboo shoots has drying kilns instead of depending on the sun. Currently, bamboo shoot products here have been ordered by many agencies and units as gifts with the nature of a typical product of Thanh Hoa highland. Thanh Lam bamboo shoots have a characteristic yellow color, aroma and are not mushy when cooked for a long time on the stove. Through the survey and according to the criteria of the OCOP product, the dried bamboo shoots in Thanh Lam commune basically meet the regulations. The product has also just been tested and meets the standards of food hygiene and safety. Thanh Lam dried bamboo shoots have been designed with logos, bags, boxes with eye-catching brands, and are chosen by many people as gifts. Officials of the Coordination Office of the Provincial New Rural Development Program have paid more attention to the stage of production organization and product labeling, soon completing the headquarters of Thanh Lam Production, Trade and Service Cooperative – the focal unit for production and implementation of procedures to be recognized for OCOP products.

The fish market usually starts at more than 4 am and lasts until about 8 am. When coming to the beach at 5 o’clock, the market was bustling and full of people to buy, sell and work. The beauty of healthy labor every morning The market is located right next to the sea, about 500m long. On the beach are small traders and households who are displaying baskets and baskets of fresh fish. Just 5 minutes from the beach, fishing boats are full of seafood waiting for people to come and pick them up. The connection between traders on the white sand and fishermen on fishing boats is a fleet of small basket boats actively working. The men and boys, strong and tanned, swinging and hugging the basket boat with their feet in the sand, pushing the small boat through the strong white waves rushing into the sea. After about 3-4 waves hit by waves, the basket boat was gently floating and reaching far to the East thanks to human strength. The men will take a basket boat out to catch the fresh sea fish, then return to the shore. There were a whole school of fish still swimming in the basket, trying to find a way out. When landing and burying the bottom of the boat in the damp sand, the sisters and aunts excitedly competed with each other for square fish baskets that were iridescent in the sun. The most interesting thing that tourists can experience and explore here is watching the sea creatures still alive in the merchant’s fish basket. The bodies of the squids are a vivid picture of a kaleidoscope, the spots of black and purple flowers are constantly changing, iridescent under the yellow sun – something that cannot be observed when the ink has been stored for a long time or through preservation. The fish baskets are flashing like the “treasure” of the fishermen here. Nhan Trach Market is long, intense, bustling and full of charm. The beauty of labor on the smiling faces of the sisters and aunts and in the solid body tanned with the salty sea scent of men is the most sparkling thing every morning in the sea. Fairytale village Hiding behind the tall and dense casuarina trees, following the asphalt road covered with red soil deep inside, the new village of Nhan Trach appeared. It is known orally as Seoul village in Quang Binh by the solid and modern urban areas on the romantic golden sand dunes. Along with that, a part of the people here export labor to Korea and other countries, the inflow of money creates a dizzying change in the appearance of this place. However, the fairy-tale and idyllic beauty still exists here. At Nhan Trach personal market every dawn, the grandmothers get up early to visit the market to walk and watch the sunrise as a habit of old age. Ms. Ngo Thi Lua (72 years old, Nhan Trach commune) and her old friends went to the fish market to enjoy the scenery. The sea and the beauty of labor as a source of energy for the elderly, early sunshine and sea breeze are indispensable familiar things. Ms. Ngo Thi Lua (72 years old, Nhan Trach commune) goes to the fish market every morning In a group of people passing fish from the boat to the mainland, there were a few young men to help. Other children play on the golden sand like a childhood summer day, the sky is as clear as the story collection of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh, tinged with memories. In the afternoon, tourists who stay here can walk on the golden sand dunes that stretch to the horizon. That beauty, perhaps written in a fairy tale, now exists in the coastal area of ​​Quang Binh.

In other words, one regime can only win over another if there is higher labor productivity. The 2008 Nobel Prize-winning American economist Paul Krugman said: “Productivity is not everything, but, in the long run, productivity is almost everything. Whether a country can improve its quality of life depends almost entirely on whether it can raise output per worker.” Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman commented on the importance of labor productivity The Digital Transformation process leads to an important consequence, which is a dramatic acceleration of productivity through: 1) Maximum support of digital technologies and data; 2) The transformation of the organizational model; and 3) Changes in the structure and nature of economic activities. The increase in efficiency of economic activities based on technology and digital data creates innovative breakthroughs in providing new ways to increase productivity and create value, while helping to The digital economy has become a major component of the economy. Robert C. Lieberman (2012) wrote: “Changes in technology, especially the information revolution, have transformed the economy, making workers more productive and gaining important positions for the workforce. mental labor rather than manual labor. At the same time, the emergence of global markets, which itself has been accelerated by information technology, has dented the once dominant US manufacturing sector, and reoriented the US economy. to the service area. The service economy also rewards educated people with high-paying professional jobs in finance, healthcare and information technology.” This has suggested important implications for examining the dialectical relationship between productivity and digital transformation in the current context and its role in increasing the share of the digital economy in the economy. To evaluate productivity, we can rely on four important components: One is n platform of productivity is the creation of value and thus the value created determines the measures of productivity. A person who works hard for 8 hours a day only creates a value of 10 dong, will not be able to have a high labor productivity as a person who also works 8 hours a day but creates a value of 50 dong. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that the increase in productivity is not more labor effort, better skills, but the most important thing is to grasp how to create new value in the modern era. The present is how to be able to catch up, adapt and find ways to create those values. Digital transformation is not basically the application of digital technology and data to help “work more” or “work better”, but the most important thing in Digital Transformation, which is towards a new form of social organization to create a new source of capital, data capital, which helps to create a breakthrough in value, allowing a breakthrough in adding value to labor. Monday, S The change of economic/business model has an important significance in increasing productivity. In innovation, the value of innovation, that is, building on the foundation of existing models and innovating to increase efficiency will always be of critical value and can only increase at a finite rate. and tends to slow down. Thus, increasing productivity solely on the basis of the old model will not allow to expand the value – the basis of productivity, and thus also limit the possibility of increasing productivity. Converting numbers starting with requires a creation overate ( disruptive innovation ) , in which the transformation of the economic/business model is an indispensable, first and conditional requirement for the real Digital Transformation to take place. Tuesday , The transformation of the way we organize, operate and create value mechanism as a result of changing economic/business models. Digital transformation will create platforms, networks and communities/social-ecosystems as new ways to organize economic/economic activity. business, how these organizations connect to each other, and how these organizations converge. This will allow a change in the way productivity is conceived, from being based primarily on the capabilities that a single individual/organization can create through its efforts to create efficiency, to synergies. between individuals/organizations through interconnection into a platform, into networks and into social communities/ecosystems. This allows to create new productivity values ​​that go beyond individual capacity, increasing productivity based on the size, spread and resonance of the network connections that individuals/organizations have. This can be connected. Wednesday, c technology and digital data, which are popular with AI, Bigdata, IoT and Clouds technologies enabling humans to increase computing power and efficiency for better, more efficient, faster and more multifaceted data-driven decision making. It is this that allows people to get help to overcome biological, physical and space-time limitations to increase their results. Therefore, the increase in productivity is also extended to the ability to effectively apply and apply technologies to work and daily life. Accordingly, from analyzing the consequences of increasing productivity thanks to the Digital Transformation process, we can also establish the bases that help shape the digital economy and the proportion of the digital economy in the economy: The change in the way new value is created and valued based on the application of technology and digital data will make the economy play a particularly important role in the process of transforming traditional economic activities. system in a new way that creates faster, higher value-added and widens value frontiers. The change in the economic/business model through disruptive innovation will help break down the existing value creation structures, open up new value creation platforms, and enable the digital economy to open up. completely new economic/business activities in the digital era, contributing to increasing the development and affirming the position of the digital economy. An important new feature of the digital economy in the digital era is the change in the way society is organized to help create value synergies through platforms, networks and networks. community/social-ecosystem. This allows for increased growth when measured in space-time dimensions. Digital economy applies advanced technologies and digital data to create new means, tools and methods to increase the efficiency of human labor activities, contribute to creating value, open expanding consumption and creating new ways of doing business/economic activity, allowing new platforms for growth and development to be created.

Estimated cost to build a level 4 house with an area of ​​​​45m2 How to calculate the cost of building a house = Raw area x Wages in m2. To help homeowners better visualize this calculation, the article takes an example of the cost of building a level 4 house with an area of ​​​​45m2. Rough area = Foundation + 1st Floor + Roof The foundation: occupies 50% of the area = 45m2 x 50% = 22.5m2 1st floor: occupies 100% of the area = 45m2 The roof has 3 different roof types, accounting for different percentages: Flat roof: 70% of the area = 70% x 45m2 = 31.5m2 Thai roof: Occupying 50% of the area = 50% x 45m2 = 22.5m2 Corrugated iron roof, tile roof: 30% of the area = 30% x 45m2 = 13.5m2 The total area of ​​a level 4 house with an area of ​​​​45m2, choosing a corrugated iron roof, is: 22.5m2 + 45m2 + 13.5m2 = 81m2 Construction unit prices on the market today are calculated in two ways: The first way: Construction contractor, finishing labor, the cost ranges from 3 million VND to 3.5 million VND/m2 using mid-priced materials. Applying the formula to calculate the cost of building a level 4 house with an area of ​​​​45m2, choosing the corrugated iron roof just calculated above, we have: 81m2 x 3,000,000 = 243,000,000 VND. The second way: The contractor takes care from a to z – Turnkey, the cost ranges from 4.5 million VND to 6 million VND/m2, choosing materials from average to good. Applying the formula to calculate the cost of building a level 4 house with an area of ​​​​45m2, choosing the corrugated iron roof just calculated above, we have: 81m2 x 4,500,000 = 364,500,000 VND. This unit price will fluctuate depending on different locations, depending on the price of raw materials as well as the cost of labor. However, applying the correct formula is possible to calculate the cost of building a flat roof or a corrugated iron roof for your house. The unit price of rough construction does not include the cost of interior equipment such as: house tiles, toilet tiles, tiles, etc. Other costs when building a level 4 house With the cost of paint, there are two types of putty with two different qualities. High-grade paint is priced at 60,000 VND/m2 and medium quality paint is priced at 35,000 VND/m2. Applied to calculate the cost of paint for two level 4 houses, we have the formula: Floor area x unit price of paint per m2 x 4 Where: 4 is the unit factor of 4 walls to be painted. Depending on the region, the locality will have different unit prices, but just by applying the correct formula, you can calculate the cost of painting your level 4 house with different areas. For example: The cost of painting for a level 4 house with an area of ​​45m2, choosing a high-class paint line that costs VND 60,000/m2 is 45m2 x 60,000 VND/m2 x 4 = VND 10,800,000 The cost of painting a level 4 house with an area of ​​45m2, choosing a high-end paint line that costs VND35,000/m2 is 45m2 x 35,000 VND/m2 x 4 = 6,300,000 VND Next to the cost of house tiles, similar to paint, there are also two different types of tiles for homeowners to choose from. High-end floor tiles are priced at 300,000 VND/m2 and average floor tiles are priced at 150,000 VND/m2. The formula for calculating the cost of tiles is: Floor area x unit price in m2. The cost of floor tiles for a level 4 house with an area of ​​​​45m2, choosing high-class tiles for 300,000 VND/m2 is 45m2 x 300,000 VND/m2 = 13,500,000 VND The cost of floor tiles for a level 4 house with an area of ​​45m2, choosing an average tile is quite expensive at 150,000 VND/m2 is 45m2 x 150,000 VND/m2 = 6,750,000 VND For houses that use tiles for the roof, the cost for 1 tile is 30,000 VND/piece, 10 bricks per square meter, labor cost is 5,000,000 VND/m2. The total cost of finishing tiles for a 45m2 house is 20 million VND. All prices are for reference only! Some compact, low-cost models of level 4 houses can be referred to:

It can neatly collect sugarcane in a variety of natural states including spilled cane. The machine is equipped with an advanced hydraulic control system adapted to different terrains. Especially with mini machines, the low oil consumption can be below 0.15 liters per hour of operation. The machine is compact, portable, suitable for small and medium-sized sugarcane farms. Sugarcane harvesting machine THM 2.0 by engineer Le Quyet Tien. Interestingly, in 2013, engineer Le Quyet Tien from Nam Dinh and his colleagues invented the THM-2.0 mini-complex cane harvester which was put to trial and application under production conditions in Hiep Hoa. (Long An) and achieved the same productivity and quality standards as the imported machines before: The machine works in complex areas of sugar cane, and can harvest spilled sugarcane. Pure yield is high, can reach 0.21 ha / hour Standard cutting rate ≥ 80%, can cut close to the base without missing and do not crush the sugarcane, spread the trees evenly to the direction of the machine. The hydraulic devices of the machine work smoothly, stably, and operate easily and gently. Up to now, this type of machine is still preferred in small and medium sized sugarcane farms. Large capacity sugarcane harvesting machine The combined sugarcane harvesting machine is a machine with modern technology, fully equipped with hydraulic control system. They have the role of harvesting sugarcane on a large area of ​​land. The hydraulic system works continuously and completely automatically during the sugar cane harvest. Large capacity sugarcane harvesting machine. True to their name, the combined sugarcane harvester, many functions are integrated in the machine. From sugar cane cutting, transmission, peeling, topping, and cleaning are all included in this combined sugarcane harvesting machine. They are very suitable for use in areas with large sugarcane growing areas, where the topography of sugarcane is relatively flat. One more point, the machine can help you harvest any sugarcane you grow. This machine usually has a large capacity, massive design, and is suitable for medium and large scale sugarcane farms. The outstanding features of the combined sugarcane harvester Fast harvest, high yield Before, when there were no modern machines, people still had to use their own labor force. Labor productivity is not high. Moreover, with limited human strength, it is extremely difficult and difficult to harvest the large sugarcane fields. The sugarcane harvester helps the harvest productivity increase significantly. The capacity of the large capacity machine can reach 40 tons / h. This is 300 times more than a healthy worker. Economical and efficient A combined sugar cane harvesting machine works with 70 workers. Instead of hiring a lot of workers, the combined sugarcane harvester saves labor and increases labor efficiency. In addition, the combined sugarcane harvester can cut to the base of the sugarcane, the yield is estimated to increase by 2 tons / ha compared to manual labor. When the sugarcane is harvested by the combined machine, all the tops and leaves of the cane are chopped, crushed and left in the field. This is a huge amount of fertilizer for the next crop. Thanks to that, productivity is also much improved. Currently, in Vietnam, large-scale sugarcane growing farms use many modern and advanced combined sugarcane harvesters in the world. In particular, Brazil and India are the two countries with the most modern sugarcane harvesters available in Vietnam.

Last spring, while consumers were concerned about how to clean themselves after defecating, scientists discovered that people infected with the Covid-19 virus shed the virus’s genetic material in their feces. surname. The waste treatment system for more than 100 years is too old In fact, toilet systems play a part in maintaining public health. However, the core technology in the toilet system has existed for more than 100 years, when humanity has not faced the current challenges. On top of that, many parts and equipment in the ground are reaching their lifespan and starting to fail due to lack of investment in maintenance. This year, the American Association of Civil Engineers scored D + for the country’s wastewater treatment infrastructure. Accordingly, there is too much waste around, this creates a potential danger to public health and the environment. The waste treatment system for more than 100 years is too old. Illustration. According to the Wired , evidence of the deteriorating waste disposal system existing around human habitats. While considered a flawed design, combined sewer systems are still prevalent in many older cities. Sewage water overflows when it rains, releasing potential pathogens into the waterways; Waste, nutrients, chemicals and pharmaceuticals get into the sewer system. Degraded septic tanks pollute the soil and groundwater. Wet wipes and other types of waste have tended to increase sharply since the outbreak of a pandemic, causing heavy congestion that keeps wastewater from flowing. Natural disasters caused by climate change overwhelm drainage systems. During the past year, massive floods from Tennessee to Australia left people inundated with polluted wastewater. In August, a series of power outages during a massive heatwave in California caused a wastewater treatment plant to dump nearly 189,270 liters of raw and partially treated wastewater into the mouth of the Oakland River. In February 2021, Texas weather continued to be cold, people could not bathe and heat for many days; a hospital truck dumped water just to flush the toilet. Prisoners endured the filthy days of prisons in Texas. Serious health effects Conventional wastewater treatment systems are not only degraded, but are also in short supply. More than half of the world’s population is not equipped with safe toilets to dispose of waste. According to the statistics of US Water Alliance It is estimated that 2 million Americans do not have complete plumbing, directly affecting health causing skin diseases such as rashes, intestinal diseases such as diarrhea, hookworm … and many difficulties. another towel. Ms. Pamela Rush, an activist from the Alabama countryside, shared her story about daily living next to the raw wastewater dumps, like many other poor people in America, mostly leather. black. These people are sometimes fined and criminally prosecuted for not being able to pay the costs of a septic tank or maintenance. Not being equipped with complete plumbing can directly cause skin diseases such as a rash. Illustration. More tragic, Ms. Pamela also became one of the victims of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The main cause of death was the corona virus, but the underlying causes she suffered were poverty, habitat inequality, climate change, racism and disparity. about health, “said Catherine Coleman Flowers, environmental equity activist. Catherine is also a friend of Ms. Pamela. For people who don’t have their own toilets, closing orders make public toilets harder to find than usual. This problem affects homeless people, people with intestinal disorders and other diseases. In some slums in developing cities, shared toilets are often open, but the order of social exclusion unintentionally makes matters more difficult than ever. Not only is wastewater treatment infrastructure deteriorating or facing many risks, so is the workforce. In the US, this sector is facing a wave of retirement, even seen as the “silver tsunami”. When the pandemic first started, some wastewater treatment industries feared losing old workers that were difficult to replace and important because of illness or worse. They have closed facilities with workers working week-long shifts so that the virus cannot enter. In India, sewer cleaners petitioned the government for simple personal protective equipment so they could keep working. Solution According to the Wired , to solve the problem of waste, the rebuilding of infrastructure is not enough, but it is necessary to apply many new innovations, encouraging the application of new methods. This helps the toilet system work better, ensures safety for human health, is more durable and reasonable. In order to do this, the state and local governments need to have enough funds and new public works policies to create incentives for improvement. Then, in places with stable centralized infrastructure, cities can use both new and established tools to mine wastewater for heat, water, nutrients, chemicals, and metals. valuable, as well as biogas and other fuels. Digital sensors help smarter sewage treatment systems using pipes and reduce spills. The new setup can push used toilet paper out of the wastewater stream before being processed and recycled into cellulose. This substance is a raw material that can be widely used, even used for industrial chemicals. With the right tools, even large chunks of trash that clog drains can turn into biofuel thanks to the greasy layers inside. Besides, there are many new and more radical inventions for the pipeline. Scattered distribution systems for toilet waste and water reuse in buildings or communities are rapidly developing. Businesses, cleaning services by container trucks provide regular cleaning services. A row of public toilets in South Africa. Photo: Alamy Stock Photo. “Urine divert” toilets help separate high-nutrient, low-pathogens from feces and water. They function more like recycling bins than trash cans. These innovations are more relevant in harsh contexts and are better resilient to serious consequences. They minimize the impact on the climate, cause less pollution and produce resources such as clean water, compost, fuel, even insect protein. They can generate revenue streams and provide safe, well-paid, and well-paid jobs that attract young people who are environmentally conscious and work diverse. Many of the above ideas are in beta. To turn these ideas into practice on a larger scale, more investment and supportive policies from the state are needed, attracting people who are willing to overcome difficulties to apply innovative technologies early. toilet system. In addition, there are other innovations such as treatment of the genetic waste corona virus in human feces. Scientists around the world have been analyzing wastewater and providing feedback to public health professionals and policymakers on outbreaks, new trends and the impact of regulations. rules and restrictions. The innovators are also experimenting with new ideas for public toilets, making them more popular with everyone. In Pune, India, the idea of ​​building a reusable bus women’s public toilets, plus a boutique and small coffee shop, helps to reduce the cost of using a toilet. Some cities have implemented or are considering paying a small fee for cafes, restaurants and businesses to provide public toilets. Instead, businesses are advertised for free and are seen as implementing a public service. The Covid-19 pandemic showed a deeper insight into the toilet waste treatment system: This is not only technology but also a human prerogative. According to the Wired Investing in a drainage system not only helps to upgrade old systems and expand the quality of sanitation and safety for everyone, but also avoids further damage caused by disease outbreaks and environmental disasters. Future.

Illustration. The 4-roof house is a top favorite today. Besides beautiful aesthetics, the 4-roofed house also has financial advantages. The construction cost is not too expensive, the style is diverse, suitable for even large families, this is indeed the perfect suggestion for those who want to own a beautiful living space, comfortable and suitable for pocket. money. Currently, there are many different grade 4 house models, some models of attic, mezzanine or flat roof are still considered the first choice of many families. Construction cost for a 100m2 grade 4 house (the raw part) will range from 350 to 400 million VND. Depending on the model of the house, the price of materials, and the rental of construction workers in each locality, these costs may fluctuate. Here are some cheap, beautiful and comfortable grade 4 house models that you can refer to: Sample house level 4 Thai roof The 4-tier Thai roof models are often loved because the house looks very modern, beautiful, and has good resistance to heat and moisture. However, if building a Thai roof, the cost will be more expensive, construction also takes a long time because the construction needs to be meticulous and detailed. Sample house level 4 with mezzanine For large families with limited economy, a mezzanine grade 4-level house is the optimal choice. With the enlarged mezzanine, you will have more space to live. This style is similar to the Western style. This design requires ventilation, the roof is higher, so it will take time, effort and money. Sample house level 4 flat roof If you are a lover of a modern, youthful style with limited budget, a 4-level flat-roof house is a great design for you. This type of house is simple, not fussy and saves construction time because there are not too many elaborate details.

The smart rice transplanter that combines the functions of sowing, cultivating rice, fertilizing, and spraying pesticides has been applied at An Nhut Agricultural and Service Cooperative from 2019. LABOR REMUNERATION Over 15 years of growing pepper, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Phuong (Tan Hoa village, Bau Chinh commune, Chau Duc district) said that in the past, from tending to harvesting, he had to do it by hand. To water 2.5 ha of pepper, 2 labor takes 7-8 hours to complete. In 2017, he invested 40 million VND in installing a drip irrigation system. Mr. Phuong commented, compared to the traditional irrigation method, drip irrigation has many outstanding advantages such as: saving water, minimizing water loss, making the soil always fresh and porous; Saving water pump electricity and reducing labor. In addition, this irrigation system can also combine fertilizer, medicine and irrigation water through the drip tips. “From the day of installing the automatic watering system, every time I water the garden, I just turn on the circuit breaker, set the hour and go to other jobs. In addition to reducing labor, the automatic irrigation system also helps to save water. In the past, the average amount of watering was 300m3 / ha / time, since the application of drip irrigation has been reduced to 60m3 / ha ”, Mr. Phuong compared. In the rice fields of farmers in Phuoc Hoi, Lang Dai, Long Tan, Phuoc Long Tho communes (Dat Do district), the system of machines such as tillage and transportation machines, water pumps, combine harvesters, Harvesting in series, rice dryers appeared more and more, gradually replacing the labor force of farmers. Information from the Department of Agriculture of Dat Do district shows that more than 16,000 hectares of cultivated rice by farmers have used almost 100% machinery in the stages of soil preparation and harvesting. Mr. Nguyen Van Tam, an agricultural officer in Phuoc Long Tho commune, said that almost all stages of rice production in the locality have been mechanized. With the implementation of agricultural mechanization, when sowing sowing, there were plows and land-plowing machines, when the harvest time, there was a combine harvester to serve at the place. In addition to bringing about higher economic efficiency, the application of mechanization also solves one of the difficult stages of the agricultural sector today, which is the source of labor when only 1-2 operators and use are possible. work, help farmers reduce labor costs. CONTINUOUS SUPPORTING MACHINERY IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, at present, the province has more than 400 types of machines serving the mechanization of agricultural production, with the number of more than 105 thousand units. In which, machinery is concentrated mainly in stages such as soil preparation, irrigation, spraying of pesticides, transportation and fishing means. The stages of harvesting, preliminarily processing and preserving agricultural products currently only stop at a number of models of applying preliminary processing technology and preserving vegetables and fruits after harvest. The average level of mechanization of the stages in agricultural production such as: land preparation reaches 100%; 80% of care and spraying of plant protection products; the harvest stage reaches 40%; 30% drying stage. The application of agricultural mechanization has contributed to reducing labor, ensuring seasonality, increasing productivity, quality and reducing post-harvest losses. Mr. Vu Ngoc Dang, Deputy Director of the Rural Development Sub-Department (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development), said implementing the policy of developing household economy in agriculture and fisheries (Resolution 05/2018 / NQ-HDND) and policies to support equipment and materials for the development of cooperatives in the agricultural sector in the period of 2019-2020 (Resolution 39/2018 / NQ-HDND), up to now, the Sub-Department has supported more than 300 machines and equipment. serving production with more than 250 households / cooperatives operating in the agricultural sector such as sowing machines, burying fertilizers for An Nhut Agricultural and Service Cooperative; Package irrigation system, tillers, chain saws for Thai Duong Agricultural Cooperative … In the coming time, the Department will coordinate with localities to continue reviewing and making statistics on the number of machines and equipment; from there to build production plans towards focusing on developing plants and animals with strengths, competitiveness and in accordance with the province’s development planning. “For the project of agricultural mechanization and the application of post-harvest technology (under the Scheme on restructuring the agricultural sector of BR-VT province in the direction of increasing added value and sustainable development to 2020, vision to 2030), after being approved by the competent authority, the Sub-Department will coordinate with relevant departments and agencies to organize propaganda and mobilization of post-harvest agricultural mechanization through models, project points, seminars, seminars ”, Mr. Vu Ngoc Dang more information.

Read the synopsis: Talking about the current maternal-fetal medical consultation center for fetal heart disease, Yihua He, director of the Beijing Anzhen Hospital’s Maternal-fetal Medical Consultation Center for Cardiology, felt a little emotional: “We see fresh little lives on the screen every day, and we also face many families every day. Worries and troubles. In fact, when a family of children gathered in front of us and asked whether this little life could successfully come to the world, we were wondering whether we could provide the family with more comprehensive and three-dimensional reference information. Of course, only It is not enough to rely on the strength of one department.” “We have a mother exchange group. Yesterday I saw a mother from Qinghai telling her story in the group. She was diagnosed with congenital heart disease in the fetus in early February this year and induced labor locally in mid-to-late March. She blamed herself and kept saying, “If I went to a big city to see it, maybe there would be a turnaround”.” Before the outpatient service of He Yihua at the Cardiology Maternal and Fetal Medical Consultation Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, a young prospect who came from Guizhou for treatment Mother Wang Xiaoxiao (pseudonym) said that the baby’s heart development was found to be abnormal during the birth check-up at the local hospital. The doctor suggested that the couple come to Beijing to see Director He for the baby. After speaking, Wang Xiaoxiao touched her belly lovingly with one hand, and tightly grasped her husband’s hand with the other. my country is a populous country and a country with a high incidence of birth defects. According to statistics from the “China Birth Defect Prevention Report 2012”, the incidence of birth defects in my country is about 5.6%. Based on the 16 million births in the country, there are about 900,000 new birth defects every year. “We must have a concept. When the fetus is diagnosed with congenital heart disease, don’t panic.” He Yihua said that in 2011, congenital heart disease accounted for 26.7% of all monitored cases. In the past 10 years, congenital heart disease has consistently ranked first in the incidence of perinatal birth defects among pregnant women in my country, and the proportion of total birth defects is higher than that of other birth defects. “This disease requires detailed classification and evaluation, and some fetuses have good treatment effects and can be self-healed.” Approximately 6 out of every 1,000 newborns suffer from congenital heart disease “People often ask me what is the cause of congenital heart disease. I can only say that there is no one-to-one etiological discovery of congenital heart disease. This is a result of environmental, autoimmune, genetic background, and psychological pressure. Complex results caused by the influence of multiple factors.” Facing the reasons for the rapid growth of congenital heart disease in recent years, He Yihua said, “The environment, autoimmunity, etc. are high-risk factors that lead to congenital heart disease, but the most important It’s the increase in the prenatal detection rate.” Congenital heart disease has a broad spectrum, including hundreds of specific types, and the symptoms vary greatly. Those with the mildest symptoms will have no symptoms for life, and those with severe symptoms will have severe symptoms at birth, such as hypoxia, shock, etc. There are many ways to classify congenital heart disease, which can be divided into structural abnormalities and non-structural abnormalities from the structure; genetic syndromes can be divided into genetic syndromes and non-genetic syndromes. He Yihua introduced that for pregnant women, they may pay more attention to classification based on prognosis. From the prognostic point of view, congenital heart disease can be divided into those with a good prognosis, which do not require surgery or require treatment with a good prognosis; those with a poor prognosis, which can only establish a single mechanism cycle; and those with extremely poor prognosis, often Manifested as malignant arrhythmia, heart failure, etc.

Due to the special physical condition of pregnant women, various examinations during pregnancy are limited. “CT examination is radioactive and cannot be used during pregnancy. The heart rate of the fetus is relatively fast, so the resolution of MRI in the detection of fetal heart is not high. At present, it is the most suitable for prenatal detection of fetal congenital heart disease. The most effective method is ultrasound testing. Taking Anzhen Hospital as an example, the prenatal detection rate of fetal congenital heart disease can reach 96%.”

Generally speaking, for high-risk groups, ultrasound testing can be performed within 15 to 16 weeks of pregnancy, but if you want to see more clearly and make a more accurate diagnosis, 20 to 24 weeks is a better observation window. Similarly, non-high-risk groups can also be observed in more detail during the 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

“In my country, about 6 out of every 1,000 newborns suffer from congenital heart disease. The prevention of congenital heart disease requires a’tertiary prevention’ strategy.”

The first is to remove the cause of primary prevention. As the most direct cause of congenital heart disease cannot be found at present, primary prevention is difficult to achieve, and the effect is not ideal. “Neural tube malformation was ranked first in the entire birth defect disease 15 years ago, but because it has primary prevention measures to remove the cause, such as taking folic acid, the birth defect of neural tube malformation has been greatly reduced. Malformations are only ranked 6th in the incidence of perinatal birth defects in pregnant women.”

The so-called secondary prevention is to make a clear diagnosis before delivery. “At present, secondary prevention mainly relies on ultrasound diagnosis. In fact, ultrasound diagnosis is very effective, almost 100% of the abnormalities in the heart structure can be detected. However, due to problems such as medical equipment and operator experience, the detection results in various regions exist. A certain difference.”

The tertiary prevention is to use various methods to diagnose and treat children who have congenital heart disease early to reduce the harm of congenital heart disease and improve the treatment effect of the child so that the child can recover health as soon as possible.

“In recent years, some scholars have also put forward the concept of’zero-level prevention’, that is, genetic testing before marriage.” He Yihua said, “At present, because of the high complexity of the disease, the complicated pathogenic factors, and the birth treatment The technical requirements are high, and the effects of multiple levels of reasons have led to unsatisfactory prevention effects at all levels.”

Interdisciplinary Maternal and Fetal Medical Consultation Center for Fetal Heart Disease

On the eighth floor of the outpatient department of Anzhen Hospital, before eight o’clock, the front door of the fetal heart disease maternal-fetal medical consultation center was full. The people waiting for medical treatment raised their heads, and the eyes on the masks stared at the electronic screen on the wall for fear of missing their names. From time to time, someone would look around the loudspeakers and pace back and forth in the hall.

Every day, people all over the country stand in front of the consultation center with worry but hope.

Speaking of the current Maternal and Fetal Medical Consultation Center for Fetal Heart Disease, He Yihua sighed: “We see fresh little lives on the screen every day, and we also face the worries and distress of many families every day. In fact, being a family member When we surrounded us and asked whether this little life could successfully come to the world, we wondered whether we could provide families with more comprehensive and three-dimensional reference information. Of course, relying only on the strength of a department is far from enough. ”

He Yihua’s team is in a remote consultation. Photo courtesy of the interviewee.

Beginning in the second half of 2012, He Yihua’s team hired a researcher to conduct a half-year survey among various departments. From six in the morning until five in the afternoon, the investigator will record the information he saw and heard that day, including the information he communicated with the doctor every night.

After communicating with doctors and investigators in various departments for more than half a year, He Yihua has become more aware that whether a child can be born smoothly requires comprehensive evaluation by multiple departments such as gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics, and pediatric surgery. It requires a combination of imaging, genetic counseling, etc. Multiple materials. After the discussion, not only can provide more decision-making information to the family, but also deepen the mutual understanding and communication between various disciplines. To explore and solve the same problem, you can also run in more tacit understanding between the teams.

“We must do our best to break through the barriers between congenital heart disease prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment, and let doctors in this logical chain have a cross-perspective macro-thinking, knowing the’upstream’ and “Downstream” does not stick to the cross-section of a single subject.” He Yihua said, “I and the hospital leaders applied for the establishment of a consultation center, and they are very supportive. Now our consultation center has developed into an interdisciplinary comprehensive consultation center.” Since 2013 Since the establishment of the Maternal and Fetal Medical Consultation Center for Fetal Cardiology in 1999, it has provided diagnosis and treatment services for over 40,000 patients.

“Artificial Intelligence + Remote Network Technology” Solve the Problem of Imbalance between Supply and Demand in Primary Medical Care

“Compared to the number of fetus groups that need to be checked, there are still too few doctors with high diagnostic levels.” He Yihua said, “However, we now also provide a set of corresponding solutions, which is’artificial intelligence + remote network technology’. .”

At this stage, there are still gaps in medical resources between my country’s regions and between urban and rural areas. Many grassroots areas are restricted by technical equipment, personnel experience and other reasons, and cannot provide local pregnant women with medical services and medical advice comparable to those in major cities. According to a report from the Central Broadcasting Corporation, some provinces and cities have not included the free pre-pregnancy health check and other work funds into the financial budgets at all levels or the budget is small, resulting in a low level of intervention for birth defects. In some provinces, the pre-pregnancy check-up rate in rural areas is less than 25%.

Hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen or some other eastern coastal areas have a high level of diagnosis, but there is still a major problem of imbalance between supply and demand in terms of the annual demand for fetal heart examinations.

He Yihua introduced that artificial intelligence screening technology is still being used within a certain range. Doctors and patients in various regions can input relevant medical data and information into the corresponding technical background to understand whether the prognosis of the fetus is good. In addition, it can also pass The corresponding equipment performs the diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease. At this stage, the accuracy rate of artificial intelligence screening has reached 87%, which is higher than the average detection level of 43% in Europe and the United States. “Of course, we do not regard technology as the’gold standard’, but supplement it with manual review. We are still strengthening collaboration and learning in human-computer interaction.”

The consultation center has formed a remote collaboration network with nearly 200 hospitals across the country. Realize the interconnection and data sharing between cooperative hospitals through remote network technology. On the large smart screen of the consultation center, ultrasound diagnostic images of fetuses in collaborative hospitals can be synchronized. Local doctors can communicate with the consultation center through the remote network at any time when they encounter doubts.

“Artificial intelligence and remote networks can be collectively referred to as’appropriate technologies at the grassroots level.’ For us, we want to sink high-quality medical resources and medical services to the grassroots. Through these grassroots accessible technologies, the broadest Demand groups.”

Learn to tolerate, life is a miracle

Years of life in diagnosing fetal congenital heart disease also made He Yihua and her team think about a question: What perspective should we look at imperfect life.

“Some fetuses can be treated similarly to normal children after birth, but many parents are pursuing the “perfection” of their children. No matter how much work we do, it will not help. Of course, each family’s expectations and economic conditions are different. We also understand.”

“Parents will worry about the pressure that their children will face in their future work and life, the incomprehensible vision of others, and even the mockery of their children’s defects. In fact, each of us is’imperfect’, and there are known or unknowable defects. The most important thing is how we view “Imperfect Life” and “Imperfect Life”.”

There is a movie called “Miracle Boy”, which tells the inspirational story of Ogi, a boy born with facial defects. Augie was taught at home by his parents because of facial defects. In the fifth grade, he was given the opportunity to study in a regular school. Ogi, who was new to school, was ridiculed and bullied by his classmates because of his looks, but with the help of his father, mother, sister, teacher and friends, he finally found confidence and used his actions to change the views of others.

“I know that there is a ‘8772’ band composed of patients with rare diseases in Beijing. These children get together because of rare diseases but love music. They have released albums and held their own concerts. I think these A child just changed a window to look at the world. They are very sunny and have their own stable happiness.”

“Perhaps, for you and me, if you learn to be tolerant, life is a miracle.” He Yihua’s face was firm, her eyes gleaming.

Skynet recovered, and He Xuemei was finally sentenced to 20 years in prison. She paid the price for her actions.

Screenshot of China Judging Documents Network

Public information shows that He Xuemei was born in 1970 in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. She graduated from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Chongqing University in 1991.

But looking at the first half of life, she is undoubtedly dazzling.

In 1997, He Xuemei joined ZTE Corporation and began serving as the company’s labor union chairman in 2000. The labor union has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Zhongxing Yihe Company and Yihe Tiancheng Company. He Xuemei serves as the legal representative and chairman of the two companies. In office, she can directly decide to allocate funds from Zhongxing Yihe Company without the consent of any other directors and no board resolution.

The reporter of “Legal Evening News · View News” combed in 2017 and found that He Xuemei often puts three labels on herself: public welfare person, outstanding alumni of Chongqing University, and wife who loves her husband deeply. In January of that year, the first batch of scholarships named after her had just been awarded; when she was interviewed again, she talked about the 30 years that she had walked hand in hand with her husband, “I love his steady and gentle”.

Such a president with a double harvest of career and family, but failed to write the happiness story to the end.

On July 13, 2017, ZTE announced that due to suspicion of illegal fund-raising and duty-related crimes, He Xuemei, the former chairman of the trade union, had voluntarily surrendered to the public security organs. On August 24, the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Procuratorate issued a notice on its official account, announcing that He Xuemei had been arrested on suspicion of embezzling funds.

The publication of the criminal ruling of the second instance of this case officially puts the details of the case in front of the public.

Take advantage of your position to embezzle

Observer.com found that from the beginning of 2015 to March 2017, He Xuemei released information about fundraising through his WeChat official account, “He Fan Club”, Yixiu’s personal Weibo, WeChat group, QQ group, etc., advocating that it has low risk , Investment channels with stable returns. He Xuemei used high returns as bait to raise funds from many victims in 26 phases on the “ZTE E-Home” e-commerce platform of Yihe Tiancheng.

Subsequently, He Xuemei used a large number of private accounts to receive and transfer the funds raised, and used the funds raised to Buy high-risk trust wealth management products , Buy real estate , Buy and sell stocks on the secondary market , Return the embezzled company funds , Repay personal debts , Embezzlement and transfer abroad Wait. When it was difficult to return the funds raised due to financial loss and transfer of funds, He Xuemei fabricated the financial performance to continue to raise funds, and used the newly raised funds to return the principal and interest of the due funds, staged a “Ponzi scheme.”

In addition to committing the crime herself, He Xuemei also instructed the trade union secretary Hu Mou, Yihe Tiancheng Company’s Vice Minister of Business Services, Wang Mou and others to commit the crime together. When the confession reached this point, He Xuemei said frankly, “They are just my subordinates and do things according to my instructions, and I don’t need to give them any benefits.” A sum of money fell into this way by “borrowing” from others. He Xuemei’s pocket.

After auditing, He Xuemei has raised a total of 2.11916570107 billion yuan of funds , 8819 participants 25580 person-times, 3921 personnel not returned The total amount of financial management funds is 89,856,809,607 million yuan. The huge amount of funds and the wide range of personnel involved are shocking. After the incident, ZTE Corporation paid all the outstanding funds in advance.

The incident in the East Window can not escape the law

The fire can’t be contained in paper, and things will eventually be revealed.

The “misfortune” caused Xiaoqiang. The internal audit of ZTE Corporation found He Xuemei’s footing.

The low quality of the labor force will be a barrier separating opportunities to adapt and catch up with new technology trends and new business methods of the world. Therefore, in the coming time, Vietnam needs to actively renew and implement training and retraining policies to improve the quality of human resources to adapt to the requirements of economic growth and development.

The State invests and the allocation of resources for management and maintenance of real estate assets.

From 1955 to now, VNR is the only 100% state-owned enterprise established by the State with the purpose of assigning the management, exploitation, use and direct trading of all railway infrastructure assets. (KCHTĐS) in the form of excluding capital components in the enterprise.

The national real estate infrastructure currently does not have the budget to buy materials to put into the project, regular expenses and especially to pay employees in the first 4 months of 2021, seriously affecting the lives of nearly 25,000 workers in the VNR. .

“The high risk is that 11,315 workers on the road patrol, bridge week, tunnel patrol, guarding the crossroads … will quit their jobs because they have no income. This issue has pushed businesses to the end, difficult to sustain. until the end of April 2021 “- President of VNR stated in the petition.

In particular, it is still proposed a mechanism to assign cost estimates for maintenance to the Vietnam Railway Administration (the agency only performs the advisory function under the Ministry of Transport and does not manage the assets of the real estate infrastructure).

“The proposal of the Ministry of Transport in the Project not only fails to overcome difficulties and problems in production and business activities, but also causes a lot of stagnation and congestion for VNR, pushing businesses to the risk of bankruptcy. , the risk of eliminating railway transport in the transportation system “- VNR leader said.

According to the VNR leader, in order to manage and maintain the assets of the national real estate infrastructure, VNR must organize a comprehensive and coherent human resources system from the parent company to the base units along the railway lines with a total of 11,315 employees were employed, including: 1,241 workers in bridge, road, and tunnel patrol; 915 indirect workers; 6,278 workers perform maintenance and quality control of maintenance work and 2,881 workers guarding the crossroads to ensure safe train operation.

Meanwhile, at present, the organizational apparatus of the Vietnam Railways Administration has only over 100 staff members (most of them are officers of the railway office and the railway traffic safety inspection force), so if the plan is implemented according to the Project, the Ministry As proposed by transportation, VNR still has to fully allocate the above 11,315 human resources to perform the tasks of asset management and the maintenance of national railway infrastructure assets.

“VNR will become an intermediary agency to delay, cause congestion in the process of maintenance and operation of transportation, directly affecting train safety” – VNR leader explained.

Based on the provisions of relevant laws, international experience and especially the practice of managing and operating operations, VNR believes that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have chaired meetings with Ministries many times. , departments to analyze the legal basis and have the conclusions and announcements. The Ministry of Justice also appraised the legality in Document No. 193 / BTP-PLDSKT dated January 22, 2021, which confirmed that the delivery of KCHTDS assets and cost estimate for maintenance to VNR Corporation is correct. current laws (including the State Budget Law).

From the above explanations, the Chairman of the Board of Members of VNR sincerely proposes to the Government, the Prime Minister to: Direct the Ministry of Transport to seriously, fully implement the direction of the Prime Minister in the document. 1956 / VPCP-CN dated March 24, 2021 on the management, use and exploitation of national real estate assets.

VNR also proposed to the Prime Minister to direct the Ministry of Transport to continue to assign estimates of economic causes for the management and maintenance of national real estate assets for the period from 2021 onwards to VNR as in previous years.
