In recent years, Quang Ninh Museum has become a favorite destination for young people. They boasted to each other about the beautiful and strange “virtual living corners” that could not be exploited. Located right on the shores of Ha Long Bay, a World Natural Heritage Site, Quang Ninh Museum is probably the most beautifully located museum in Vietnam. Inspired by the image of coal – a typical mineral of the mining land, Quang Ninh Museum was designed in striking black by Spanish architect Salvador Perez Arroyo. The shell is like a giant mirror reflecting Ha Long Bay, creating a unique beauty. In 2014, the Quang Ninh Provincial Library-Museum cluster won the “Project of the Year” award by the Vietnam Urban Development Planning Association. Quang Ninh Museum is not only that, this place is truly a miniature Quang Ninh, helping visitors discover the richness of life, cultural and aesthetic imprints, and the richness of resources of the mining land.

Ms. Nguyen Yen Nga (visitor from Hanoi) is not only interested in the artifacts in the museum, stylish photography angles but also in the coffee shop here. Visitor Shannon (Australia) on the famous travel site Tripadvisor commented: “This museum is epic. Three floors with a huge amount of information help you fully visualize all the information about Vietnam you want to learn.” Ms. Trinh Thi Thu Thuy, a person with a disability at the Project on Promoting Accessible Tourism for People with Disabilities in Vietnam, who used to work for a travel company, noticed the stairs designed specifically for people with disabilities. disabilities. Ms. Thuy shared: “We are the ones who directly study accessible tourism in the localities, sometimes quite disappointed because of the fact that we surveyed dozens of destinations in different places but couldn’t find the next one. But Quang Ninh Museum is one of the destinations designed to serve people with disabilities.” Build into an attractive tourism product It is not difficult to understand that Quang Ninh Museum has many interesting exhibits related to coal. Just outside the museum is the glossy black block of a block of coal, symbolizing the land of the mines. The outdoor display area of ​​the museum has the largest monolithic coal in Vietnam, the statue of a mining worker. The exhibition area in the museum is the story of the entire history of Quang Ninh coal mining industry from the Nguyen and French colonial times to the present day. One of the interesting experiences when coming to Quang Ninh Museum is playing the role of “miner in shift”. In this experience, visitors can put on a miner’s outfit, step into the pit built in a 1-to-1 scale with full equipment, enjoy the specialty of mine bread… Em Nguyen Khanh Linh (Quang Ninh) said: “When I first entered this coal tunnel area, I was afraid because it was dark. But I think this is quite an interesting experience, giving me a more accurate view of the difficulties in the work of miners. I think it’s a hard but glorious job.” Experiencing miners in shifts is just one of the experiential activities that always attract a large number of people, children, tourists… of Quang Ninh Museum. The museum has implemented experiential and creative activities in the exhibition space itself with useful and interesting playgrounds for children as well as visitors, such as: “Learning the history of Quang Ninh through artifacts museum”, “Full Moon Festival-Experience with children”, “Baby is a child artist”, “Team building”… Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee has recognized Quang Ninh Museum as a tourism product located in the central tourist route of Ha Long City and one of 12 tourist attractions in Ha Long City. Mr. Kieu Dinh Son, Director of Quang Ninh Museum said: “The museum associated with tourism and serving tourism is an important task and method to realize socialization and promote the social effects of tourism. effective museum today. Since its opening, the number of visitors to the museum has increased. Therefore, along with promoting advantages and overcoming difficulties, the unit will strengthen cooperation with travel agencies, build programs in tours, widely promote the image, present objects of the museum to contribute to attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists. In 2019, we received about 400,000 visitors. Total revenue from ticket sales reached more than 10.35 billion VND. Quang Ninh Museum is the only provincial general museum in the country and is one of three museums in the country with 100% autonomy in recurrent expenditure.

In their paper in the journal IEEE Trans Transaction on Biomedical Engineering, the team presented the results of trials on two men with spinal cord injury aged 35 and 63. The system works by connecting a signal generator on the user’s head to an electrode relay in the cortex, through the connection port like wired systems. From there, the tester can move, click and type on the computer keyboard with his or her brain. Transmitter connects to a relay located in the brain cortex, helping people to use wireless computers.

At the same time, they can use the system continuously for up to 24 hours at home. “The signals are recorded and transmitted with the same fidelity as a wired system, meaning we can use the same decoding algorithms that we have,” said John Simeral, who leads the team. used with conventional wired equipment ”. “The only difference is that we are no longer physically tied to the devices, which opens up new possibilities for future research,” Simeral added. “With this system, we are able to look at brain activity at home, over the long term, in a way that was previously almost impossible,” said Leigh Hochberg, another team member. This gives us more opportunities to create algorithms that allow people with paralysis to move and work. ” According to the Mashable, The aforementioned study is a significant step forward in the field of neural communication, in which the human brain is directly connected to the computer. Recently, big names in the tech world like Facebook and Elon Musk have also expressed interest in this area. Simple device is placed on top of research candidate. Photo: Radiofiji. In 2020, Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink introduced a pig named Gertrude, with a computer chip implanted in the brain. Or, as before, in 2021, the company also succeeds in implanting a chip into the monkey brain so that the animal can play video games. However, Brown University’s first human study demonstrates that the technology can be used wirelessly, and it wouldn’t be surprising if we find wearable devices that allow people with disabilities to communicate with them. continue and work better in the future.

Talking about the collection this time, former “Miss Vietnam” revealed that her designs were inspired by the country of India, the country where she had the opportunity to visit and participate in a number of cultural events. here. Accordingly, the beauty has created the “plain cardboard” Ao Dai models with high applicability for mothers and babies. Still a familiar form of Vietnamese ao dai, Ngoc Han cleverly brings typical Indian cultural motifs to the shirt through hand-embroidered details or splitting the front flaps – a familiar highlight on the page. Indian men’s clothing. She uses a variety of colors from cold tones to warm tones to make the collection more impressive. What is special in Ngoc Han’s design series is that she is creative on hemp material. This is 100% pure Vietnamese material, made from natural fibers, undergone complicated processing to create a soft and airy fabric. Since pursuing her career as a Ao Dai designer, Ngoc Han has always tried to exploit familiar Vietnamese materials to each collection. Every year, she works hard to find craft villages of silk weaving, silk weaving … in many provinces and cities to learn and get materials for her designs. Ms. Nguyen Thi Van participated in the demonstration of new designs in Ngoc Han’s Ao Dai collection In particular, showing the new Ao Han collection of Ngoc Han, in addition to professional models, there are also a number of special guests, including Ms. Nguyen Thi Van – a disabled person in the top 100 influential women. World in 2019 voted by BBC and the top 50 most influential women in Vietnam in 2019 voted by Forbes. She was accompanied by her Australian husband, Neil Bowden Laurence and brought to the stage to perform with Ngoc Han at the show. The wife of the Indian embassy, ​​Manu Verma and disabled friend Chu Giang Son also appeared in Ao Dai designed by Ngoc Han. Ngoc Han’s family was also present to cheer her up. Some pictures in the show:

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Thi Ha said that Vietnam is one of the countries that ratified the UN Convention on Persons with Disabilities very early. At the same time, Vietnam has issued many documents and policies to support care for people with disabilities. Up to now, 100% of provinces and cities directly under the Central Government have had facilities and centers operating services to care for the disabled. In particular, in Ho Chi Minh City, there is the Center for Rehabilitation and Support for Children with Disabilities at 38 Tu Xuong, which is also one of the units performing well supportive care services for people with disabilities.

At the show, after seeing the handicrafts of the disabled children on display at the ceremony, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Ha affirmed that people with disabilities can be completely healthy, can do the what normal healthy people are doing. At the same time, it is suggested that the local authorities and the business community continue to have many resources to support their children in career guidance, vocational training and education to help them reintegrate into the community and their friends. . When they grow up, they will create for themselves a job and stabilize their life.

The Deputy Minister expressed his thanks to the units and businesses that accompany the program

According to data, Vietnam currently has about 6.2 million people with disabilities, accounting for more than 7.06% of the population aged 2 and over, of which people with severe and extremely severe disabilities account for about 28.9%, about 10% of people with disabilities belong to poor households. The above data shows that Vietnam is one of the countries with a high proportion of people with disabilities compared to the total population in the Asia-Pacific region.

Children are being nurtured and cared for by the Center

In recent years, policies and activities to help people with disabilities have also changed fundamentally, moving from charitable assistance to support from a developmental perspective, creating dynamism for people with disabilities. rise. People with disabilities are supported with housing, education, health care, access to traffic and construction works, vocational training, employment, preferential loans to do business and to support livelihoods. .. help people with disabilities take care of themselves as well as make contributions to the community and society.

All these things have brought people with disabilities confidence and self-reliance, and there have been many successful examples of disabled people in the fields of economics, science, politics and social culture.

Access road for people with disabilities at the Provincial Museum.

Since 2002, the Ministry of Construction has issued a set of technical regulations and standards to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them. In 2014, the Ministry of Construction issued Circular 21/2014 / TT-BXD, dated December 29, 2014, issued together with the national technical regulation on “Building construction to ensure access to use by people with disabilities” (QCVN 10 : 2014 / BXD). This regulation specifies technical requirements that must be complied with when building new or renovating constructions to ensure that people with disabilities have access to and use them.

In addition, Decision 1019 / QD-TTg dated August 5, 2012 of the Prime Minister on the project to support people with disabilities for the period 2012-2020 sets the target that by the end of 2020, 100% of the works will be the headquarters of the institution. government officials; station, bus station, pier; medical examination and treatment establishments; educational institutions, vocational training, cultural works, sport and physical training; The apartment building ensures accessibility for people with disabilities. Also according to the above decision, social service works will have to design additional items to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use.

However, according to the survey results, the survey of the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and Orphans (PWD & TMC), the number of public works in the area with items accessible to people with disabilities is still very limited.

In 2020, the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and TMC will conduct a survey at 40/177 communal units; 6/13 units at district level and 21 projects at provincial level in Ha Long city. For the commune level, surveyed at 281 schemes, only 21 schemes have access roads for people with disabilities (accounting for 7.4%). Of the 53 projects built after 2012 (the year the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1019 / QD-TTg approving the project to help people with disabilities access social welfare works), only 11 projects have access road for people with disabilities (accounting for 20.7%). In particular, of the 40 surveyed commune-level offices, only 7 offices have access roads for people with disabilities; 1/121 village cultural house has access roads for people with disabilities (accounting for 0.08%).

At district level, in the survey of 78 schemes in 6 districts, towns and cities, only 19 schemes have access roads for people with disabilities. Out of 22 projects built after 2012, only 13 have access roads for people with disabilities. Out of the 6 district level units surveyed, all 6 offices do not have access roads for people with disabilities. All offices of the Justice Department, the General Education Center, and the Sports Center of the 6 surveyed district-level units do not have access roads for people with disabilities.

At the provincial level, surveyed in 21 schemes, only 13 schemes had access roads for people with disabilities. Out of 11 projects built after 2012, 10 have access roads serving people with disabilities. Only one building is the headquarters of the Provincial Employment and Service Center (Cao Xanh ward) with no access roads for people with disabilities.

This shows that the units that design, inspect and approve the construction of the works do not pay attention to adding access roads for people with disabilities according to regulations.

Sharing with us, Mr. Tran Manh Ha, residing in group 8, Trao Ha area, Duc Chinh ward, Dong Trieu town, said: “For people with severe mobility impairment, they have to sit in a wheelchair like us, going very difficult again. Every time you go and do, you must ask a loved one or a healthy person to help you. I myself also want to have conditions to access public services and integrate with the community, but the difficulties in not having access make me feel inconvenient, even more shrinking because of fear of disturbing others. . I really hope that units and agencies are interested in building additional public works to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them conveniently. Currently, the new construction of the Head Office of the Ward People’s Committee has access roads for people with disabilities, and some old public works do not have access roads for people with disabilities, and are expected to soon be supplemented by units and agencies ”.

According to Mr. Lanh The Vinh, Chairman of the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and TMC, the access road for people with disabilities is one of the important approaches that people with disabilities are currently facing. Although there are clear regulations and regulations in legal documents, through investigation and surveys in many public works, this item seems to be “forgotten”. After the Investigation and Review Association has submitted a report to the Provincial People’s Committee to propose and propose solutions to help people with disabilities have conditions to access public works and integrate into the community.

According to statistics, the province currently has a total of 20,767 PWDs, of which more than 4,000 people with special severe disabilities have to travel by wheelchair.

In order to enhance the responsibilities of agencies and units in implementing access roads for people with disabilities at public works, on November 20, 2020, the Provincial People’s Committee issued a document 7948 / UBND-XD4 requesting departments, Departments, branches, units and local People’s Committees, based on their functions and tasks, actively guide, inspect and supervise the implementation of national technical regulations and regulations on construction to ensure that PWDs can receive access to Approach to use in new design or renovation of construction works according to prescribed regulations and standards.

For specialized construction works management departments, economic zones management boards, localities and district-level professional offices organize the appraisal, grant of construction permits, and take over the works to be put into use. Construction works must ensure access requirements for people with disabilities; strengthen inspection, control and handle violations, ensure full implementation of policies to help NKY access and use construction works.

The province also requires project investors to organize the implementation of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD regulations on construction works right from the design task, technical design construction; it is imperative that contractors, when participating in bidding, must fully express the technical regulations specified in Section 2 of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD Regulation; It is not accepted for contractors who do not satisfy all design documents but do not fully show the technical regulations specified in Section 2 of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD Regulation. For the construction management and use units, proactively review and have plans to repair and renovate the works, ensuring the requirements for PWDs to access and use according to QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD and other relevant standards and regulations.
