Chengdu has the largest increase and Xi’an has the fastest growth

Judging from the changes in the past ten years, 13 of the 15 cities have increased their permanent population by more than 1 million people, and 10 of them have increased by more than 2 million people. The top three cities in terms of increase are all national centers. city.

Chengdu ranked first in terms of increase. Compared with the sixth national census in 2010, the permanent resident population of Chengdu increased by 5.8189 million.

Zhang Baotong, president of the Shaanxi Urban Economic and Cultural Research Association, analyzed to a reporter from China Business News that in recent years, Xixian New District has been under the management of Xi’an, and Xi’an has been very active in attracting investment. After many big projects have come, talents have also gathered. At the same time, Xi’an vigorously opened up the threshold for settlement and attracted quite a few talents. In addition, as the leading city in the Northwest, Xi’an has no central city in its surrounding area that can rival Xi’an. Xi’an has a strong agglomeration capacity for surrounding areas.

According to Zhang Baotong’s analysis, Xi’an’s higher education strength is very strong, ranking among the top in the country, and national defense technology is leading the country. However, due to the lagging development of the private economy, many of Xi’an’s scientific research results have been transformed in Guangdong and the Yangtze River Delta.

Researcher Tong Zhongxian, director of the Urban Development Research Center of Hunan Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that the rapid population growth of Changsha is related to the rapid development of equipment manufacturing, cultural and entertainment industries in Changsha in recent years. Industrial development has provided a large number of employment opportunities and attracted population inflows from surrounding areas.

Take the equipment manufacturing industry as an example. In recent years, equipment manufacturing companies such as Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion, and Sunward Intelligent have emerged in Changsha. In the cultural industry, Changsha has also produced Internet celebrity brands such as Cha Yan Yue Se.

In addition, in the past ten years, the increase in permanent residents in the three cities of Hangzhou, Chongqing and Changsha has exceeded the 3 million mark; the increase in Wuhan, Foshan, Suzhou and Dongguan has exceeded 2 million.

The ancient town of Nianbadu is located in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Yes, that’s right! It is Quzhou, which has opened “Global Free Tour” for several consecutive years and is known as the “largest” city in Zhejiang. It is hidden in the deep mountains and valleys of Xianxialing Mountains. It is hailed by some experts and scholars as a “cultural enclave” and “a dream left in the mountains.” Different from the gentle and beautiful Jiangnan water town in our traditional impression, this ancient town has a dangerous terrain and sits at the junction of the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. It is difficult to defend, and the commercial port is prosperous. Historically, it has always been the place where soldiers were stationed in the past and the first town from Fujian to Zhejiang. “Nian Ba ​​Du”, just seeing this name gives people a feeling of being separated from the world. At the end of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, the Huangchao uprising army attacked Fujian and opened up an ancient Xianxia road here, making the small town on the edge of this ancient road also recorded in history. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 44 capitals in southern Zhejiang, and the town ranked 28th, hence the name Nianbadu. Since the Xianxia Ancient Road was the only passage between Fujian and Zhejiang at that time, with the progress of history, it gradually changed from the original military route to the later business route, and the ancient town, as a transportation hub that must be passed on the way, gradually It has become the most prosperous commercial port on the border of the three provinces, and many people have migrated here with their families. As a result, the town now has 130 surnames and 9 dialects among the population of more than 10,000. It has become a unique “ancient town for ordinary people” and “dialect kingdom”. . Since the ancient town is located in Zhejiang, people can’t help but remind people of the scenery of the water village of “Hu Zang Yanpu, furniture painting boat”, which is actually true. The ancient town of Nianbadu, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and prospered in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although the prosperity of the past is no longer there, it still retains the traditional style of the 19th century. The ancient houses of Ming and Qing dynasties with black tiles and blue walls built by the river are well-preserved and scattered, vaguely inlaid between the poetic and painting-like clear water and green mountains. When you walk into the ancient town, you will find that you are walking through an ancient architectural museum, with temples, pavilions, ancient bridges, and archways, which makes people feel that this piece of ancient building with exquisite layout, magnificent scale, unique style and exquisite craftsmanship is in front of you. Group and felt heartfelt admiration. Of course, due to the phenomenon of immigration in history, the various styles of folk customs handed down in the ancient town are also great attractions, such as “Lian Knife Meat”, “Carrying a Literal Ceremony”, Making Flower Lanterns, Walking on Stilts, etc., which have been passed down from generation to generation in the ancient town. The folk customs and customs reflect the ancient cultural customs of the ancient town. So for Nianbadu, as the most special ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of more than 10,000 and more than 130 castes in 9 dialects, would you be willing to learn about it?

However, when the snowfall was unprecedented, the photos my friends on Fansipan sent me made it impossible not to go on the road. The snow was cold and slippery, I fell several times both human and machine, fortunately it was okay.

The stretch along these two roads creates advantages for the school’s architecture in organizing a lively educational architectural ensemble including many clusters of works for different levels based on the psychology of ages from system from preschool to high school. The design was made from discussions with the educational organization to find a solution for the classroom – a basic and important module for the architectural ensemble to optimize teaching and learning. Light is brought into the classroom in long openings on the wall in areas where the sun gives pleasant light, and it is these openings that also create continuous connections with the vast natural area outside. , where unique landmarks within the context’s ensemble can be observed. The outdoor living and learning courtyards are interwoven in a way that complements the respective inner classrooms. A large and round garden is located in the middle of the preschool architectural block, surrounded by classrooms, function rooms and a large lobby area for children to have a comfortable gathering while playing together. when the gardens open horizontally horizontally are the wide yards reserved for primary and secondary level. Connecting between these two large and long courtyards are functional areas for learning along with a large cafeteria; multi-function hall concurrently with sports activities and indoor performances; art, creative and exhibition rooms… are organized to optimize movement and operation so that learning-related activities take place continuously. In order to adapt to the typical hot and sunny climate of Tay Ninh land, the design team applies the possibilities that can be brought from the corridors moving between rooms and between blocks. These corridors both function and form large terraces that provide pleasant buffers for indoor and outdoor activities, as well as cover and shade for outside activities. outside of classes. With flexible lines that soften the architectural backdrop for activities, these large verandas represent a continuous flow of learning energy that is connected across levels in the complex. . The sprawling feature of the terrain also creates a lively dialogue between the living areas around the gardens – through the center of the road – with the daily activities of households on the other. In the gardens, the space between the houses and the other side is the learning activities of children and students in the garden spaces that open and close flexibly between the classrooms.

In Vietnam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested to resolutely and effectively implement the vaccine strategy, which accelerates access to purchase and import of Covid-19 vaccine sources for Vietnam, including through COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Program (COVAX). UNICEF and WHO representatives in Vietnam welcomed the first batch of Covid-19 vaccine including 811,200 doses in COVAX’s commitment to support Vietnam. (Source: UNICEF) From defense to attack According to the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang, following the Prime Minister’s direction with the spirit of “fighting the epidemic like fighting the enemy”, right from the time the Covid-19 epidemic broke out and countries conducted research and production, Successfully testing a vaccine against the disease, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vietnamese representative agencies abroad have made efforts to find, approach and negotiate with partners to provide vaccines against Covid-19 to soon import vaccines using vaccines. used in the country. In the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, the COVAX mechanism is one of the best solutions to ensure the rapid and equitable deployment of safe and effective vaccines to all countries around the world. COVAX is coordinated by three organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) and the Coalition for Epidemic Response Innovations (CEPI), with distribution partners being United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). With the policy of joining COVAX early, in December 2020, Vietnam submitted a dossier to this mechanism to propose vaccine support. On that basis, COVAX has allocated vaccines and committed to provide Vietnam with a vaccine quantity guaranteed to immunize 20% of the population, equivalent to nearly 39 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine. Up to now, Vietnam has received more than 2.5 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine under the COVAX mechanism. This is part of a total of 4.1 million doses of vaccine, worth up to $17 million, committed to Vietnam by COVAX in the first six months of 2021. The remaining batches will arrive in Vietnam by the end of this year and early 2022. All vaccines are provided free of charge by COVAX through UNICEF. Thus, up to now, this is the largest amount of vaccines Vietnam has received. According to Mr. Do Hung Viet, Director of the Department of International Organizations (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), participating in Vietnam’s COVAX program is about finding “the right person at the right time”. COVAX has promptly provided the first two batches of vaccines so that Vietnam can deploy its vaccination strategy, especially for the frontline forces against the epidemic, contributing to helping us begin to change the state of epidemic prevention from defense to prevention. translation attack. In ASEAN, before Vietnam, two countries have committed to contribute to COVAX: Singapore ($5 million) and the Philippines ($100,000). Spread the spirit of solidarity Up to now, COVAX has received funding from more than 40 countries and partners, mainly from the US, European Union (EU), Japan, Australia, UK… AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine, distributed under the COVAX mechanism, has been vaccinated in Vietnam since early March. For COVAX’s goal of providing 2 billion doses of vaccine to developing countries, middle and low-income countries, the amount of money that COVAX needs to continue to mobilize is still very large. In addition, the global Covid-19 vaccine supply chain is being disrupted and disrupted by the resurgence of the pandemic in many places, especially in India – a large vaccine production “factory”. best of the world. In that context, the COVAX mechanism must be flexible and adjusted to meet more urgent needs in places where the epidemic situation is severe. The supply is low, many places have severe outbreaks of the disease, greatly affecting the vaccine supply schedule of COVAX. As a major beneficiary of the COVAX program, Vietnam is determined to join hands with the international community to respond to the pandemic. This is also the policy that Vietnam is strongly promoting in recent years. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Vietnam has stepped up to strengthen international cooperation and solidarity to cope with the epidemic, because Vietnam understands that no country will be safe when the world is still not safe. With that policy and spirit, Vietnam has decided to contribute $500,000 to the COVAX initiative. Thus, Vietnam is classified as one of the few developing countries contributing to COVAX. Mr. Do Hung Viet emphasized that the contribution to COVAX demonstrates Vietnam’s sense of responsibility in global efforts, strengthens multilateral cooperation, thereby enhancing Vietnam’s image and position in the eyes of foreign partners. international organizations as well as international friends. As soon as Vietnam announced its contribution to COVAX, many international organizations, including GAVI, UNICEF, WHO… gave thanks and appreciated this decision. “Through this contribution, Vietnam hopes to have a synergistic effect, spreading the spirit of international solidarity so that governments of other countries and other partners can take necessary actions to increase support for the country. COVAX”, shared Mr. Do Hung Viet. The frontline against epidemics abroad The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is tasked by the Government with the Ministry of Health as the main agency in finding and accessing vaccine sources. With a network of more than 90 Vietnamese representative offices abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated to drastically implement this task. Thereby, Vietnam has access to a number of vaccine sources of countries and international organizations to contribute to Vietnam’s vaccination strategy. Currently, on a global scale, vaccines are not only a medical issue but also contain many political factors. The decision of countries to support each other with vaccines depends a lot on bilateral relations in many fields. Therefore, the Vietnamese representative missions abroad and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have conducted hundreds of contacts and mobilized access to vaccine sources in countries and international organizations. This tireless effort has yielded practical results such as the recent commitments to provide Covid-19 vaccines from COVAX and the US, Russia, Japan, China… to Vietnam. UNICEF has also expressed its willingness to support our country in accessing and purchasing a vaccine against Covid-19. As the world’s largest vaccine “buyer” with longstanding relationships with leading pharmaceutical companies, UNICEF has the ability to assist Vietnam in connecting and negotiating contract terms, prices and timeframes. vaccine supply time. Mr. Do Hung Viet said that this is an effective channel to access and buy vaccines that Vietnam needs to take advantage of. In addition to accessing vaccine sources of countries, international organizations, and Vietnamese representative missions abroad, they also make efforts to connect with state and provincial governments in some countries, taking advantage of the relationship. Twinning relationship with localities to mobilize vaccine support. Obviously, dealing with the epidemic requires the cooperation of the whole community. While doctors and medical staff are on the frontline against the epidemic at home, diplomats are also soldiers on the front lines abroad to “fight” to collect vaccine sources to increase vaccination coverage. vaccination for Vietnamese people, contributing to early fight against the pandemic. COVAX’s initial goal is to purchase and mobilize 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of 2021, enough to protect high-risk, vulnerable people and frontline healthcare workers worldwide, half of which were shipped to 92 low- and middle-income countries to vaccinate about 20% of the population of these countries. However, because the amount of COVAX vaccine received was much short of the set target, by May 24, 2021, COVAX had only distributed 72 million doses of the vaccine to 125 countries and economies.

The architect of the project is Mr. Bill Bensley. Accordingly, the unified view is not to plant trees that are pruned too sophisticatedly, but towards trees bearing the Vietnamese soul, fruit trees, incense and flowers like home garden plants, close to Vietnamese life. Enterprises want to borrow trees to express Yen Tu’s zen spirit, simply and more naturally. Even the Arhat pine tree is not pruned to create a sophisticated posture, but mainly a straight shape, with the hope that the tree will grow up to create shade later.

Governments, medical experts and researchers are working to find the most effective strategies to deploy Covid-19 vaccination to quickly create herd immunity as the pandemic continues to sweep the world. limited supply of vaccines. According to the journal Nature, the world needs about 11 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine to immunize 70% of the world’s population, in case each person must receive two doses. However, the latest statistics of Bloomberg news show that, as of June 2, a total of more than 1.94 billion doses have been injected across 176 countries, equivalent to nearly 12.7% of the global population. required to be fully immunized. The situation of Covid-19 vaccination worldwide in terms of vaccination rate for the whole population (%). Graphics: Bloomberg In addition, there is inequality in vaccine distribution, with rich countries, which account for only 19% of the world’s population, capturing more than 50% of the full year’s supply while low- and middle-income countries, accounting for more than 50% of the total supply. More than 80% of the world’s population has access to less than a third of the vaccines shipped, exacerbating the problem. A conundrum now is how humanity can overcome the pandemic at the earliest when it is estimated that the total number of vaccines produced and distributed in the world in 2021 is only about 6 billion doses. more than 55% of the forecast demand mentioned above? Countries that have received the highest number of doses of Covid-19 vaccine in the world as of June 2. Source: Bloomberg Classification of priority groups for vaccination In order to optimize the mass vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 virus in the current difficult conditions, most governments have decided to prioritize pre-vaccination for groups at high risk of infection with the virus. such as frontline medical staff, forces directly in charge of fighting the epidemic, people over 65 years old, people with chronic diseases or workers in the group providing essential services. In addition to the above approach, governments and scientists are also trying other solutions to achieve the most effective vaccination strategy possible while waiting for vaccine manufacturers to increase production and abundant supplies. more abundant. Experimental mixing of vaccines Some countries have recently considered mixing different vaccines to address shortages and delays in supply. The idea is not new, as scientists have been experimenting with this approach for decades against Ebola and HIV viruses. In the UK, scientists have decided to expand the study in the use of combinations of Covid-19 vaccines to assess whether mixing them is safe and helps prolong immunity in vaccinated people. strains or not. In February 2021, Oxford University began promoting a study called Com-Cov, whereby volunteers will be vaccinated with the first and second doses of two vaccines AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech. Preliminary research results, published in the Lancet medical journal in mid-May, revealed that mixing the two vaccines would increase the side effects of the vaccine, such as fatigue and headaches over time. short and in light form. Photo: Healthmag “It’s a finding that we didn’t anticipate. We still don’t know if this approach is associated with an improved immune response. We’ll find that out in a few weeks.” “, Professor Matthew Snape, who led the study, said on May 14. Snape and his colleagues also recently added Moderna and Novavax vaccines to the trial program. The authors hope that, if their study can demonstrate that the mixed vaccination produces an immune response as well as the standard vaccination and does not significantly increase the response to the vaccine, there will be more people complete their immunization plans sooner. This will also assist the health system in responding in the event of a shortage of any currently used vaccines. Similarly, the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST) on May 24 also announced that it would start a study on mixing China’s Sinovac vaccine with other vaccines available in the country such as AstraZeneca, Pfizer/ BioNTech and Sputnik from June this year to November 2022. DOST Secretary Fortunato Dela Pena explained that Sinovac was the main target of the study because it is the most stable supply in the Philippines, accounting for 5.5 million doses out of the approximately 8.3 million doses the country has received for until now. Manila is aiming to have vaccinated more than half of its 110 million population by this year. However, according to Nikkei Asia, the nationwide vaccination campaign is facing many challenges when people focus on injecting only “branded” vaccines such as Pfizer, forcing many local governments to keep the name of the vaccine secret. Please be used in vaccinations. More spacing between injections In accordance with the regimen and recommendations of the vaccine manufacturers against Covid-19, after giving the first dose to the patient, after 3-4 weeks, medical facilities will inject the second dose (21 days apart for patients). with Pfizer vaccine and 28 days with AstraZeneca vaccine). However, the British government has decided to extend the interval between the two shots to 12 weeks to have enough vaccine to vaccinate more people. This decision caused a lot of controversy. However, British medical advisers explain, because most vaccines are proven to be more than 50% effective after the first shot, doing so will help increase immunity for more people against dangerous pathogens and help speed up the national immunization campaign. The number of new infections and deaths from Covid-19 is falling sharply in the UK. Graphics: Reuters There are no formal studies on the effectiveness of the initiative yet. However, there is an undeniable fact that the foggy country is sharply reducing the number of cases and deaths from Covid-19, allowing the country to start easing restrictive measures against the epidemic from 12/02. 4 and aims to get the country out of lockdown this summer. Vaccination for people 12 years of age and older The European Commission has approved the use of Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for children 12 years of age and older, European Union (EU) Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides announced on May 31. , giving the bloc’s member countries the option to expand their vaccination programmes. On the same day, the Japanese Government also announced a similar decision. The move took place not long after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 10 approved the use of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for children aged 12-15. Previously, the product was only approved by the FDA. emergency use permission for persons 16 years of age and older. President Joe Biden called the FDA’s new step a promising development in the fight against the epidemic. Before the US, Canada on May 5 became the first country in the world to agree to expand the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine recipients to children 12 years of age and older, citing more benefits. risk. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that developed countries suspend the implementation of immunization for adolescents in order to share the surplus vaccine resources with poorer countries that have a shortage of vaccination supplies for children. older, high-risk groups. “The pandemic has proven that no one is safe until everyone is safe. Equal access to a Covid-19 vaccine is within our grasp. The sooner we do it, the better. The faster our lives and our children’s lives return to normal,” emphasized Ms. Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of UNICEF.

At nearly 11 pm, inside the “mangrove forest” near Hung Vuong Bridge (Phan Thiet City) there was still a flash of flashlight. Everyone here is familiar with the image of a lonely man rowing a basket boat, pulling a net in the night. Every day, Mr. Tran Van Phuong regularly casts nets to catch shrimp and fish in this mangrove flora. In the afternoon, taking advantage of the big water, Mr. Phuong dropped more than 50 nets, waiting for a bountiful evening. At night, the sound of frogs intermingled with the buzzing sound of mosquitoes. “If there is no incense, the mosquitoes will cover your face”, said Mr. Phuong while pushing the oars and bringing the basket into the deep creek. Making a living in the “mangrove” Mr. Tran Van Phuong (53 years old, Phu Hai ward) was born and raised in Phan Thiet. He has witnessed the rapid change of the city in the past few years. In his youth, Mr. Phuong followed the boat to the sea. At one point he gathered enough capital to build his own boat. However, later, he was not strong enough, fishing less and less, so this fisherman sold the boat and returned with a basket on the river. Over the past 10 years, Mr. Phuong and his basket boat have been visiting every corner of the mangrove flora. Every day, he gets a few pounds of crabs, fish, and shrimps… He brings them all to the market and sells them for about 300,000-500,000 VND. The 53-year-old man worked hard to remove some fish from the net. Late at night, the space is quieter, only the sound of the nets being pulled up. “Every day, it is 3-4 am to come back, in time for the housewife to bring shrimp and fish to the market to sell,” Mr. Phuong said. The basket boat and the other pile of nets are the means by which Mr. Phuong makes a living and feeds his two school-age children. For a coastal resident like Mr. Phuong, the basket is associated with a lifetime. The next morning, he returned to the work of washing, washing and arranging the nets to take advantage of 15:00 to go to the “forest” to drop the nets. Mr. Phuong recalls that in the past, this “forest” was just a shrimp pond, a salt marsh, after many people failed to do business, they left it. Over time, mangroves and cork trees grow thicker and taller. For nearly 20 years, this place has formed a green “mangrove forest” surrounded by Cau Ke river. From there, birds and storks fly home. In the early morning of the end of April, taking advantage of the water in the river along the “forest” to almost dry up, Mr. Truong Van Ty (Thanh Hai ward) and some fishermen in the area brought tools to find snails. Tying a series of plastic basins to his body, Mr. Ty waded into the river, using a homemade net to pull the brass to be the surface of the water. Continuously like that for about 2-3 hours, the plastic bowls are full of small and long snails. Every year, from about after Tet to the end of the third lunar month, people around Cau Ke River take advantage of raking snails. Snail is an aquatic species with long body, pointed tail, living in brackish coastal waters. In the past few years, they have been bought by many lobster farms as food for shrimp. The closer to noon, the bigger the tide, the water in the middle of the river rose above the head, that’s when Mr. Ty finished his work of scratching snails. On average, Mr. Ty rakes 7-8 sacks of snails every day. “This job is also easy, every 3 hours of continuous work also earns 700,000-800,000 VND for snails,” said Mr. Ty. Like Mr. Phuong, Mr. Truong Van Ty is one of many workers in Phan Thiet who live on this “mangrove”. Retain the entire submerged flora Many people in Phan Thiet city shared that when the Hung Vuong road (the route connecting the center of Phan Thiet city with Mui Ne tourist area) was widened, the new “mangrove forest” was revealed and known to many people. This wetland flora is surrounded by Cau Ke river, located in 3 wards of Phu Thuy, Phu Hai and Thanh Hai, creating a green patch and a unique ecosystem in the heart of Phan Thiet city. The “mangrove” area, also known as project area 5 (Hung Vuong Park), covers an area of ​​more than 32 hectares, which was planned as a park, green tree and sports area. However, in 2009, this place was adjusted to the planning, about 12 hectares used to build residential areas, trade and services, traffic and the park part is about 20 hectares. The separation of 12 hectares for residential, commercial and service areas for the province to organize land auctions for money to build the park. After the inspection trip in April 2021, Binh Thuan Provincial Party Secretary Duong Van An said that it is necessary to keep the entire area of ​​this wetland with regenerated trees as a green park, developing a special ecosystem. this, keep the green lung for Phan Thiet city. Share with Zing Secretary Duong Van An said that the land fund to develop residential areas or commercial services in Phan Thiet City is still very much, it is possible to organize land auctions in other places. “Many places people spend money to plant more mangroves, while here there is a rare population of regenerative wetland plants that need to be kept. If you build a residential area here, Phan Thiet will lose it. part of the flooded ecological zone cannot be regenerated,” said Mr. An. “The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee has concluded and assigned the Provincial People’s Committee to study and propose solutions to protect and develop the wetland ecosystem in this land, and report to the Provincial People’s Council to adjust the planning in the direction of retaining all this land to make ecological park and some suitable public works”, Party Secretary Duong Van An added. That means no more “cutting” of land for residential areas. According to Mr. Duong Van An, the province will renovate this place into a flooded ecological park, based on the existing space and population of trees, creeks and lakes. “The outside of the canal will be built embankments to protect, prevent erosion, landslides, create pedestrian and bicycle paths around the area. Inside, the creeks connect to the flood drainage channel to get water and create conditions. For aquatic species to develop, it is possible to build a pedestrian bridge system, create a walkway under the trees for people to walk, exercise… or build mounds of land for young people to come and live activities. picnic”, Mr. An said about the idea of ​​preserving and developing a population of submerged plants in the heart of Phan Thiet.

A photo of NAG Kim Lien. But everything changed 5 years ago, when the world’s most modern 3-wire cable car system connecting Sapa with Fansipan peak of Sun Group went into operation with the appearance of a spiritual complex on the top of Fansipan. Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area. Not only the elderly, children, and people with disabilities have conquered the highest peaks of the three Indochina countries, but photographers have finally had the opportunity to capture magical moments here whenever they want. want. And also from here, the magnificent beauty of Fansipan four seasons has been spread to nature lovers, beauty lovers and travel enthusiasts. Photo of the legendary Fansipan tower by NAG Le Viet Khanh. Admitting that he is always excited and full of creative inspiration every time he comes to Fansipan, NAG Le Viet Khanh is one of the photographers with the most impressive works on this special mountain. Among them, the work that he is most passionate about is “Buddha statue on the roof of Indochina”, the frame that helped him win 3rd prize in the prestigious international black and white photo contest – Monochrome Awards 2020 in the Professional category. Architecture photography. “Buddha statue on the roof of Indochina” – NAG Le Viet Khanh. Sharing memories of the photo capturing the rare moment when the clouds followed the wind embracing the majestic statue’s legs on the top, Le Viet Khanh said the photo was taken on a cold day of winter, even Even his hands were stiff, no longer feeling the shutter. He believes that, in addition to the aesthetic factor, the photo also shows the unique beauty of a magnificent architecture created by human hands, blending with the magical beauty of nature, and That’s why this photo won the top prize at the world’s prestigious photo contest. Dance in the Clouds show at Sun World Fansipan Legend under the lens of NAG Hoang Ha. With NAG Vu Minh Quan (Quan Shotgun), in his huge collection of Fansipan photos, the picture of snow covered like a fairy on the Sun World Fansipan Legend complex taken on the last Lunar New Year 2021 was his favorite. Best. Beautiful snow-covered work on the Sun World Fansipan Legend complex by NAG Vu Minh Quan. “It was the 28th of Tet, it was not easy to “leave home” to Sa Pa to take pictures until the 29th of the New Year. However, when the snow fell unprecedentedly, the photos sent by friends on Fansipan made it impossible not to The snow was cold and slippery, I fell a few times, both human and machine, fortunately it was okay. And indeed my decision to go to Fansipan on that occasion was extremely right, because Fansipan every moment is not repeated, and I took a golden opportunity to compose and capture the most memorable snow photos,” said Vu Minh Quan. Another work of NAG Vu Minh Quan photographing Fansipan. As a person who has lived and worked in Sa Pa for nearly 20 years, NAG To Ba Hieu confided that he was really fascinated by the beauty and people here. NAG To Ba Hieu photographed the spiritual complex on the top of Fansipan. “In Sa Pa, there are many topics for photographers to freely compose, in addition to terraced fields, clouds, people, … Fansipan is a really great destination for tourists as well as tourists. Photographer Many people have told me why take so many pictures in Fansipan, don’t you find it boring? But for Fansipan, every time I go up is a different emotion, because Fansipan apart from the majestic natural scenery and the spiritual complex invested by Sun Group on a very large and magnificent scale, every moment is different and different. It is difficult to repeat, for example, like the clouds floating on the top of Fansipan, they are never the same, each time has its own beauty”, shared NAG To Ba Hieu. Photo of Fansipan spiritual complex by NAG To Ba Hieu. Devoted to the tourist resort on the top of Fansipan, NAG To Ba Hieu said that the most enchanting moment for him at “Roof of Indochina” is at dawn, when the sun rises under the sea of ​​clouds floating, the space is as magical as in a dream and not always have the opportunity to admire. “I’m really passionate about this place and still have to come here a lot to capture angles that I haven’t done yet.” Photo of a dreamy purple flower hill at Sun World Fansipan Legend – NAG Pham Bang. 4 shimmering seasons with colorful flowers, a series of unique festivals such as Dance in the Clouds, Horse Hoofs in the Clouds, Festival of Flowers…, the moments of nature changing every hour, Fansipan – just like the NAGs said- “never repeat yourself”. Therefore, even if they have reached this 3143m peak a thousand times in their life, for NAGs, each time is the first time, with enough excitement and passion like never before.

The information and images collected by him are valuable documents to help scientists and experts of FFI discover the world’s second largest population of langurs in Kim Bang forest. After that, Mr. Hien volunteered to join the Community Conservation Team and was appointed as team leader. Thanks to this Community Conservation Team, from 2016-2018, the number of langurs recorded grew from 40 individuals to more than 100 individuals. Stories like Mr. Hien became the inspiration in the Program “Honoring organizations and individuals who have made great contributions to wildlife conservation in the period 2010-2020” in response to the International Day of Biodiversity. (22.5). The period 2010-2020 was declared by the United Nations General Assembly as the “United Nations Decade for Biodiversity”. Photo: vuonquocgiavuquang.vn. The period 2010-2020 has been declared by the United Nations General Assembly as the “United Nations Decade for Biodiversity” in order to achieve a shared commitment of countries to protect more than 8 million species of flora and fauna in the world. threatened to balance life on the planet. “Humanity may never know the precious opportunities of incurable diseases or other beneficial discoveries from nature because many ecosystems are permanently destroyed or soils are polluted. unusable,” said Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, calling on all humanity to protect the biodiversity on Earth. The call comes as biodiversity on Earth is declining at an increasingly faster rate. More than 1 million species are in danger of extinction. Human activities have changed 75% of the land surface and 66% of the ocean area. Vietnam is in the Top 16 countries with the highest biodiversity in the world, but biodiversity is under increasing pressure due to human activities and climate change. It is noteworthy that human activities are increasingly seriously harming the balance of nature. To counter this trend, over the past decade, many individuals, scientists and conservation organizations have worked to protect wildlife with a series of research, new species discovery and initiatives, jointly provide many effective conservation solutions in Vietnam. Some newly discovered species include Euscorpiopsis Cavernicola scorpion (in Ba Be district, Bac Kan province) and Vietbocap thienduongensis scorpion (Phong Nha – Ke Bang national park, Quang Binh province). The new findings not only have scientific significance but also have high practical value because scorpion venom is a potential natural raw material for the current and future pharmaceutical industry. In addition, precious tree species such as Moc Huong (Aristolochia), genus Arachniodes,… are also studied for their phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships to serve practical applications. Through research, many plant species with medicinal and production value are identified and have a reasonable conservation plan. Many organizations and individuals that have made great contributions to wildlife conservation in the period 2010-2020 also recognized many initiatives and solutions, contributing to improving the effectiveness of efforts of all levels, sectors and the whole society. association in species conservation. For example, the breeding solution has successfully preserved the white-crested pheasant – a rare endemic bird of Vietnam. The distribution area of ​​this rare chicken is in Quang Tri province, previously there were almost no birds and animals due to hunting, trapping and illegal wildlife trade. As a result, the population of the wild Lam pheasant decreased sharply, the last individuals were in danger of extinction. In addition, the breeding pairing of white-bellied Cao Cat (located in Section II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora – CITES) has also been successful, serving environmental education. and preserved in the future. Besides breeding solutions to conserve endangered species, other initiatives also focus on saving wildlife. In which, there are volunteer groups that have rescued 100 sea turtles, of which 94 individuals have been released into the sea; or the bear rescue process, bear farming in a semi-wild environment… These efforts contribute to changing people’s awareness of the importance of wildlife in the ecosystem associated with human life. In a recent report, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said that 90% of Vietnamese people support closing the wildlife trade market; 91% support the closure of restaurants that sell illegal and unregulated wildlife.

Remaining mangrove forest of Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province Windproof, anti-erosion Mangrove forest population of Phan Thiet city has an area of ​​more than 32 hectares, distributed on the southern bank of the flood drainage canal, on the boundary between three wards Phu Thuy, Thanh Hai and Phu Hai. Mr. Nguyen Van Thai (living in Phu Hai ward, Phan Thiet city) said: “In the past, on both sides of Cau Ke river, trees such as fish sauce, cork, mangroves have grown luxuriantly. About 15 years ago, when shrimp farming developed, local people voluntarily dig ponds to raise shrimp. However, later shrimp farming failed, people quit and since then, trees and creatures have grown very strongly, creating a beautiful mangrove forest. According to local people, the above mentioned mangrove forest has recovered and grown very quickly; many trees are 3-4m high, there are trees 5-6m, wide and thick canopy. Currently, many types of birds and storks have come to live, creating a unique space in the heart of the famous tourist city of the country. Mr. Pham Cong Thai (living in Thanh Hai ward) said: “Because there are small creeks, shrimp and fish are abundant, recently, storks have focused on the forest to live and feed. Sometimes they fly back in large numbers, sometimes thousands, creating a peaceful scene.” Not only having a rich ecosystem, the mangrove forest of Phan Thiet city also has important functions such as charging and regulating groundwater, regulating ecology and climate, producing biomass, limiting floods, and preventing floods. This area is also home to dozens of species of shrimp, fish, snails and molluscs. In which, storks, shrimps and green clams are considered the typical species of the forest. It is not necessary to change According to the People’s Committee of Phan Thiet City, this area was originally planned as “Parks, green trees, sports”. However, it was later adjusted into a residential area, a commercial and service area (about 12 hectares) and a park (about 18 hectares). In which, an area of ​​12 hectares will be auctioned to get money to build the park. Many people were shocked when they heard this news. “If the project is implemented, Phan Thiet city will lose a rare regenerated mangrove forest. This is a big loss that money can’t create in the future, “said Mr. Thai. Recently, during a survey and working trip with the Standing Board of Phan Thiet City Party Committee, Mr. Duong Van An, Secretary of the Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee, said that it is necessary to re-study the plan to build a residential area combined with a park in Binh Thuan province. mangrove forest above. Auctioning a part of this land for residential purposes will cause Phan Thiet City to lose a rare, largest remaining regenerating mangrove forest. Retaining and conserving the mangrove forest is to retain a precious, non-renewable natural resource. Later, when conditions permit, embellishment will be carried out, investing in a system of roads around and under the forest canopy, embellishing both sides of the river, creating a beautiful ecological area in the heart of Phan Thiet city, right next to the route. main road to Mui Ne National Tourist Area. Many locals also believe that, if kept, this place promises to be a unique destination of Binh Thuan tourism. At the same time, the locality will have an additional natural park, eco-tourism community; contribute to educating pupils, students and people about the awareness of environmental protection, love of nature… Mangrove forest complex is also a place for research, sightseeing and picnic activities. In some localities, mangroves are preserved, developed, promoted their value, become attractions, tourism, scientific research. “Binh Thuan province still has difficulties and needs resources to develop. Exchange of land for infrastructure is one of the must-dos in the current context. However, there are still other lands to put up for auction, for residential, commercial and service purposes, not necessarily taking this precious mangrove forest,” said Binh Thuan Provincial Party Secretary Duong Van An. strong.

People are vaccinated against COVID-19 by Johnson & Johnson Company in Chicago, Illinois, USA on April 6, 2021. Photo: AFP/VNA New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced the city will offer COVID-19 vaccination services to foreign visitors at mobile vaccination centers, starting this summer. But before that time, tourists, mostly Mexicans, have flocked to the US for the opportunity to get vaccinated. Up to now, tens of thousands of tourists from Mexico and some other countries have “landed” in many states such as Texas and Florida to be vaccinated. Some states in the US, including Texas, do not require visitors to present proof of residency. USA Today previously reported that thousands of wealthy tourists, including politicians, TV stars, leaders of companies and corporations in Latin America, have traveled to the US to receive vaccines. Some rent a private jet to go to the US. Mexico has so far only vaccinated enough doses for about 6% of the population and the vaccination program is only applicable to people over 60 years old. Many tour operators in Mexico have promoted travel packages including vaccinations to the US. “Enjoy Dallas and get a COVID-19 vaccine,” a travel agency ran an ad. Mexican airlines also recently increased flights to south Texas to serve the growing demand of travelers. A Thai travel company is also offering a package “COVID-19 vaccine tour” to the US. More than 200 people are already booked, at a cost of $2,400 per person for a 10-day trip to California that includes a single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine. The above amount does not include the cost of airfare.

An estimate of the number of daily excess deaths from Covid-19 around the world. Photo: The Economist In the year to 8 May, South Africa recorded 158,499 excess deaths (deaths that were higher than estimated under previous trends due to demographic changes). Health officials are confident that 85-95% of these deaths are caused by the new strain of corona virus, which is almost three times the official statistics. The disparity stems from the fact that, for a death to be recognized as caused by SARS-CoV-2, the deceased needs to undergo testing and be confirmed. Although South Africa does more testing than its neighbors, rates are still low. And the cause of death is not fully documented for those who die at home. Common phenomenon Mortality rates that exceed official statistics, at least at some point during the pandemic, occur in most if not all of the world. According to the most recent data, the number of excess deaths in the US was 7.1% higher than official statistics between early March 2020 and mid-April 2021. Studies have discovered such a mismatch in several countries. For example, the UK saw an excess death rate that was higher than published in the first wave of infections, but lower in the second, reflecting how measures to contain the spread of the virus helped. save many lives. A similar situation occurs in France. The inadequacy is simply because most countries, especially poor ones, do not provide such data in a timely manner. The best official data only reflect more than half of the real numbers, while the worst data show only about a quarter of reality. Photo: The Economist The Economist has attempted to model the extent of excess deaths during the pandemic in countries that do not report. With 95% probability, the model estimates the number of deaths globally to date between 7.1 and 12.7 million, with an average of 10.2 million. Not surprisingly, most of the missed deaths are in low- and middle-income countries. The actual death toll in most rich OECD countries is 1.17 times the official data, but 14 times higher in sub-Saharan Africa. Notable points The structure of the first and second waves in Europe and the US is less visible in the data of the statistical model for the whole world. Overall, the pandemic is increasingly concentrated in developing economies and continues to increase. In some places, seroprevalence surveys have shown that many people have Covid-19 antibodies, a sign of previous illness. Other factors that may also play a role are the measures governments have taken to limit the spread of the virus. Demographics also have an effect, with more young people often synonymous with lower mortality rates. By collecting 121 indicators for more than 200 countries and regions and machine learning models, The Economist experts estimate that, by May 10, there is a 95% probability that the pandemic has led to 2.4 – 7.1 million excess deaths in Asia (official death toll at 0.6 million), 1.5 – 1.8 million in Latin America and the Caribbean (officially 0.6 million), approx. 0 -2.1 million in Africa (officially 0.1 million), 1.5 – 1.6 million in Europe (officially 1 million) and 0.6 – 0.7 million in the US and Canada ( official 0.6 million). In Oceania, where only 1,218 deaths are officially reported, the model predicts that the actual number of deaths is between 12,000 and 13,000. The estimated range for Africa and Asia is very broad due to lack of data. If the probability is 50%, the estimated range narrows significantly, to only 3.3 – 5.2 million excess deaths in Asia, 0.8 -1.6 million in Africa and 8 ,2 – 10.5 million cases worldwide. In 2020, the number of daily deaths increased during 33/52 weeks. After a brief lull in early 2021, they bounced to new highs, largely due to the tragedy in India. According to estimates, the South Asian country is seeing between 6,000 and 31,000 deaths a day, far exceeding the official figure of about 4,000, in line with independent epidemiological estimates. Remarkably, the death rate from the epidemic is actually worse in richer countries. For Asia and Africa, the estimated death toll per million population is about half that of Europe. India is just the equivalent of Britain, at least for the time being. If two communities have the same level of health care, the community with more elderly people will have a higher number of deaths. If demographics are the only differentiating factor, estimates suggest that epidemic deaths in Japan (mean age 48) are 13 times higher than in Uganda (mean age 17). However, in absolute terms, the mortality rate among the young and poor population is much higher than that of the rich population of the same age group. And for the elderly in poor countries, the situation is clearly dire. The number of excess deaths (red) and the number of officially announced deaths by week in the US. Photo: The Economist Meaning of model The fact that mortality rates are relatively low in the developing world seems to be due to age several different meanings, as the virus is spreading more easily among younger people, a finding that has been reinforced by investigations. serum value. This implies many cases of non-fatal illness. It also means that the virus has a lot of opportunities to mutate. There is a documented exception where in some Southeast Asian countries, mortality rates appear to be very low. It is possible that residents here are benefiting from “cross-immunity”, the level of protection against SARS-CoV-2 caused by infection in other virus outbreaks in the area in the past. But, unfortunately, there are now signs that the numbers are on the rise. The Economist’s estimation model is the first of its kind, though not the only way to deduce the total number of deaths from Covid-19. However, Ariel Karlinsky, a statistician at Israel’s Kohelet Economic Forum think tank, notes that either way, the estimates are no substitute for official data. Tuan Anh

The study estimates that many bird species in Australia, such as the rainbow parrot, number in the millions. Photo: Guardian. The world has about 50 billion individuals of nearly 10,000 bird species, according to a new study that uses public scientific observations to estimate bird populations. Research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), led by scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), shows that there are six times as many bird species on the planet as possible. human times. There are four species of birds that researchers call the “billion-person club,” with an estimated population greater than 1 billion individuals. These are house sparrows, European starlings, ring-billed gulls and swallows, found in many parts of the world. The researchers estimated the population of 9,700 species, based on hundreds of millions of bird observations recorded by birdwatchers on eBird, one of a number of community science projects on diversity. The world’s largest biome. They combined records with professional scientific observations to develop an algorithm that estimated the population numbers of most species. The team of scientists found that there are relatively few individuals of common bird species, but a large number of rare species. “They can be rare for natural reasons, as they really only live on one island,” said Associate Professor Will Cornwell, a UNSW ecologist and one of the lead scientists on the study. island or the top of a mountain, or they may be rare due to human causes.” Over time, he said, he hopes the models can chart which species are in decline and where conservation efforts are needed. Many bird species in Australia number into the millions such as the rainbow parrot (19 million individuals), the yellow cockatoo (10 million individuals) and the laughing kingfisher (3.4 million individuals). Mr. Sean Dooley, BirdLife Australia’s public affairs manager, is a longtime bird watcher and a contributor to community science programmes. The paper shows the value that people’s observations can contribute to scientific knowledge, he said. “This is a great first step to trying to discover what we have. It will be important if we can continue to do this over time, as we are witnessing a massive loss of wildlife. Research can help us do what is needed to get close to quantifying what’s going on.” By combining bird-watching records and professional monitoring of birds that are the subject of rigorous academic research, scientists have tweaked some of the things that have not been done, said Associate Professor Cornwell. certainly through public science. The model was then applied to birds that have not been studied professionally, he said. The figure of 50 billion birds represents the model’s average estimate for the total number of bird species worldwide. “The really big breakthrough in this study is that we can take the scientific data and the public science data and then fill in the gap for birds that are not expertly studied by scientists,” said Mr. Cornwell. research industry”. There is still some uncertainty in the figures, said Mr. Cornwell, and the researchers plan to refine the model as more professional studies of more species become available. He also said that the study revealed gaps in information due to the importance of scientific attention to birds in developed regions compared to developing countries of the world, and the need to It is necessary to refine global population estimates for all species. According to him, this also shows the role of public science in those efforts. Scientists will conduct another survey in the next few years.

People wait in line to get tested for COVID-19 in New York, US, February 5, 2021. Photo: THX/VNA Specifically, over the weekend, the number of new COVID-19 cases in the 7-day average in the US was about 40,800 cases, down 30% from the previous 2 weeks and down 43% from the most recent peak in the middle of the epidemic. last April (71,000 cases/day). This number is also the lowest number of new cases recorded in the US since September 19, 2020. Meanwhile, the average number of deaths from COVID-19 per day in the past 7 days in the US is 667 cases, much lower than the epidemic peaks last winter. Currently, about 46% of the US population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and more than 30% have received the full dose. US President Joe Biden announced last week that the country’s new goal is to vaccinate at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by July 4 by Independence Day for 70% of the adult population and 160 million adults. receive a full dose of vaccine. In Washington, D.C., the number of new daily COVID-19 cases is now at its lowest level in nearly a year. The city government plans within the next two weeks to lift restrictions on most businesses and public places. Accordingly, museums, zoos, restaurants, shops, religious facilities … are allowed to reopen completely from May 21, while bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues … entertainment, stadiums can reopen from June 11. Wearing a mask is still mandatory in enclosed spaces, except when eating and drinking. More than 225,000 people out of a population of 700,000 in Washington are now fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, in New York state, more than 60% of its nearly 20 million population has received at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. To increase immunity, Governor Andrew Cuomo on May 10 announced a pilot program, allowing people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 to ride the subway for free. Specifically, from May 12-16, New Yorkers can get a single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine at one of six selected medical facilities. Once vaccinated, they will receive a free metro pass for a week or a suburban rail return ticket. Governor Cuomo said the program, if successful, would be replicated. On the same day, May 10, the US State Department announced that it had lowered its travel advisories to the UK and Israel to level 3 and level 2, respectively, from the highest level of warning level 4. Last month, the Department of State US delivery has put 119 countries, including the UK, Israel, Canada, France, Mexico and Germany, on the alert level 4 list, which recommends not to go to these countries because these are places with a high risk of infection. COVID-19 infection is very high. Currently, about 150 of the 209 destinations on the US State Department’s list are under Level 4 alert.

Stone, King Pagoda, Mia Pagoda, Tay Phuong Pagoda (Hanoi), Vinh Nghiem Pagoda (Bac Giang)… These statues are all made by leading artisans in Vietnam, according to bridge thin-shell mold technology. the most current period. To get to Bao Hai Linh Thong Tu, visitors go from the Japanese garden through the blue steel bridge that crosses the gorge, called Cau May. This is quite an interesting experience, because more than a bridge connecting the two destinations, Cau May leads visitors from a meditative space of a Japanese garden to a traditional Vietnamese spiritual meditation space. . Visitors feel like they are walking between two cultures rich in identity to come to luck, goodness and peace in the magical sacred meditation space of Bao Hai Linh Thong Tu. Loi Am Pagoda (Dai Yen) The road to Loi Am Pagoda is quite complicated, but it is a journey worth experiencing. From National Highway 18 turn to Yen Lap lake, rent a boat to float on the deep blue lake embracing the foot of the mountain with natural floating islands such as Tay island, Canh island, Crab island, Giap Gioi island… and pine forest surrounded by pine forests. la covered the hills, felt like being rid of all worries and chaos, to go to a fairyland. Leaving the boat to the wharf, the journey to the temple at an altitude of more than 500m will go through a small paved road running along the mountainside, through 7 passes including: 5 steep hills and 2 gently sloping hills, 1 steep section upside down, a trail winding through pine and primeval forests. It takes about 1 hour to climb this route, but each route opens up new emotions. The road is sloping and then gentle, the two sides are surrounded by old pine trees and green pineapple fields. The higher you go, the steeper the road becomes, narrowing and darkening, bumpy rocks that have been worn by the footprints, sometimes emerging old tree roots with many strange shapes in the dense old forest. And then, when we thought we couldn’t move on, a cool plain in front of our eyes lit up, where the roof of Loi Am pagoda curved under the clouds and behind was a deep blue mountain, peerless peace. Not superficial, hidden in the sacred forest of “Linh Thuu Ky Son”, the 500-year history of the temple along with the legends of its inspiration have made Loi Am the most sacred temple in Quang Ninh. Admiring the main temple, follow the small path to the right of the temple to reach Ban Mau. Then go a little further between the vast unspoiled mountains and forests, you will see Cau cave. From the position of Cau cave on the side of the mountain, visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of the beautiful undulating lake like a miniature Ha Long Bay. In the autumn afternoons, sitting on the top of the mountain watching the calm turquoise lake, anyone’s feeling will be “I want to stay here, I don’t want to go back”.

Genetically modified mosquito larvae will be released in the US. Oxitec has previously released the aegypti Aedes mosquito in Brazil, the Cayman Islands, Panama and Malaysia, and the company has reported that the local strain of A. aegypti has reduced by at least 90%. A. aegypti can carry diseases such as Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever, and the release of genetically modified mosquitoes is one way to control this population without the use of insecticides. Oxitec’s genetically engineered mosquitoes are male, engineered to carry lethal genes; When genetically modified pests mate with wild female mosquitoes, the lethal gene is passed on to their offspring. Although the gene does not affect the survival of males, it prevents females from building an essential protein and thus causes them to die before adulthood. Only female mosquitoes bite humans (male mosquitoes only drink nectar), so denatured mosquitoes and their surviving males cannot transmit disease to humans. A. aegypti mosquitoes make up about 4% of all mosquitoes in the Florida Keys but cause the majority of mosquito-borne diseases in the area. The region typically spends $1 million a year on mosquito control, resorting to costly measures such as aerial spraying. Release of hundreds of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes could be a less expensive and more effective option, especially as mosquito populations become resistant to pesticides over time. Oxitec was approached by the local government in 2010, and after a decade of regulatory review and local feedback, both the board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finally approved the plan. Release of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Keys. At the end of April, the company placed boxes of mosquito eggs at six locations in Cudjoe Key, Ramrod Key and Vaca Key, according to Nature. Over the next 12 weeks, about 12,000 newly hatched male mosquitoes will emerge from the box. This will be an initial test so Oxitec can collect data before conducting a second test with nearly 20 million mosquitoes later this year. The company will capture mosquitoes during the test to see how far the insects travel from their boxes, how long they live, and whether female mosquitoes actually pick up the lethal gene and die. To make it easier to track genetically engineered mosquitoes, Oxitec introduced a gene that causes the mosquitoes to glow under a specific color of light. The experiment was met with strong opposition from a small portion of Florida Keys residents, as well as the Florida Keys Environmental Alliance and Food Safety Center. Concerned that the boxes of mosquito eggs could be vandalized, Oxitec placed them in a secret place and did not reveal their exact location to the public. Questions remain as to whether genetically modified mosquitoes cause undesirable effects on mosquitoes, local animals, or the ecosystem at large. For example, after Oxitec released genetically modified mosquitoes in Jacobina, Brazil, genes from the insect were mutilated in local mosquito populations, suggesting that the lethal gene failed to kill some females before they can mate. According to a 2019 study published in the journal Scientific Reports, their hybrids did not carry the lethal gene, but instead carried genes from the original Cuban and Mexican mosquito populations used to create the modified mosquitoes. genes. It is unclear whether these new genes may have changed the biology of the mosquito. Molecular biologist Natalie Kofler, founder of E Edit Nature, an organization that advocates for the responsible use of gene editing, told Nature she hopes the Oxitec test will be conducted in a transparent and in a way that might make some community members feel better about the whole situation.

Nigeria will become the next big Covid-19 “outbreak” after India. (Source: Anadolu Agency/Getty) And experts are cautiously observing a developing country, with a large area, disparities in health services and unequal access to vaccines, like India, that is Nigeria. With 200 million people, it is the most populous country in West Africa and the 7th most populous country in the world. Ngozi Erondui, a senior research fellow at the Chatham House Center for Global Health Security in the UK, said that “Nigeria is really vulnerable” and “has a lot in common with India”. When rich countries are not willing to share The world will not be able to do anything to prevent Covid-19 from ravaging Nigeria like the situation is happening in the past days in India. A more equitable distribution of vaccines could build a “firewall” against the rise in infections in Nigeria, as well as in other less developed countries. However, that will require the more economically developed countries of the world to share rescue resources with poorer countries. The tragic case of India proves that the vaccine-rich country in the world will not be in a hurry to help poor countries on distant continents. In fact, Africa is not necessarily synonymous with “poverty”. The continent is huge and diverse, comprising 54 countries with 1.2 billion people running economies from large to small, rich to poor, strong to weak. Likewise, African countries’ pandemic experiences vary widely. South Africa, one of the wealthiest countries on the continent, was hit hard last summer and then returned in January. Officials in the region recorded more than 54,000 deaths. The mortality rate is 93 deaths per 100,000 population, a number far below the US 175 deaths per 100,000 population, but much higher than the global average of 38 deaths. per 100,000 inhabitants. So far, many less industrialized African countries have avoided catastrophic spikes in infections, recording fewer deaths than rich countries. A total of 580,000 Americans have died from Covid-19 while only 1,600 Nigerians have died from the pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 virus – “opportunistic” virus However, that doesn’t mean Covid-19 won’t reach Nigeria and other African countries, it just means it hasn’t arrived yet. Lawrence Gostin, a global health expert at Georgetown University, told T he Daily Beast : “I am seeing the possibility that the Covid-19 fires will ravage around the world in the weeks and months to come. And I’m most worried about Africa.” According to Mr. Gostin, “the crisis in India is a leading indicator of what is to come in other low- and middle-income countries”. Despite its crowded cities, limited public health measures and a patchwork health care system, India has so far been considered relatively fortunate. The South Asian country has 1.37 billion people but only 160,000 deaths so far in March, with a rate of 11 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. Then, in April, a new and more contagious variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, known as B.1.617, emerged and spread across India, causing a record increase in cases and deaths. green. In just a few weeks, India had nearly 50,000 more deaths. The death rate rose to 15 per 100,000 population. When this article was published, the Covid-19 wave in India was underway, but the trend was already decreasing. The rate of new cases and deaths is decreasing. And while it is predicted that tens of thousands of more Indians will die before this spike is over, at least the pandemic has not gotten any worse in the country. But the SARS-CoV-2 virus is an opportunistic virus. It always finds places that are densely populated but have no protection. Spreading through the air from person to person, Covid-19 establishes a “laboratory” in each body that the virus infects. Each SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates after two weeks of infection for as long as it is active, and seeks to evolve so that it can create a new variant that is increasingly contagious. New variants help the virus spread even faster in a self-reinforcing cycle that ends only with drastic social distancing, vaccinations and antibodies among survivors, or more likely a combination of the virus. all three methods to cut off the transmission route of Covid-19. It is no coincidence that SARS-CoV-2 thrived in India this month. Popular religious festivals have attracted thousands of people who attended without wearing masks. Meanwhile, India’s vaccination effort is very bad. According to statistics, the South Asian country has fully vaccinated only 3% of the population, compared with more than 30% in the US. The global average for full immunization is also a little over 3%. From the epidemiologist’s point of view, Nigeria, with its many overcrowded cities, high poverty rates and shabby health system, is quite similar to India, but worse in some respects. India has at least some domestic vaccine manufacturers, while Nigeria has none. The African country must import all doses of the vaccine from outside. That explains why Nigeria only partially immunizes 1% of the population and almost no one is fully vaccinated. The Lagos government is expected to receive 84 million doses of the vaccine from AstraZeneca and Johnson&Johnson in the coming weeks. But that number is only enough to inject a fifth of the country’s population. Meanwhile, the proportion that experts say could lead to “herd immunity” is vaccination of three-quarters of the population, which blocks most routes of transmission and can last up to year 2022. Shortage side, surplus side To help Nigeria and the underserved countries, the rich countries of the world should stop hoarding vaccines excessively. Of course, more shots are not a panacea, and even a country with many vaccines can have trouble administering. However, the vaccine shortage, and the hesitation among people who doubt the vaccine’s effectiveness, could further slow the vaccination process. Shaun Truelove, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said that “the only way to know if Nigeria is managing vaccines well is to keep shipping the vaccine to the country”. Global supply is not the biggest problem. The United States, a country with many vaccine manufacturers, has a stockpile of more than 60 million doses of vaccine while continuing to have more vaccines supplied by factories, while vaccination rates are falling. especially for Republicans. It was only a few weeks after the sudden spike in Covid-19 in India that the administration of President Joe Biden promised to ship an additional number of vaccines to New Delhi. The AstraZeneca vaccine isn’t even authorized in the US. For Americans, those doses of vaccines are not only redundant but also useless. The problem of severe delays in the release of excess vaccines was anticipated a year ago. In the spring of 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) together with a number of international public-private partners, came together to establish the Global Access to Vaccines Covid-19 initiative, or COVAX. The COVAX initiative allows rich countries to pay for vaccines to poor countries. COVAX’s goal was to deliver 100 million doses by March, but it actually delivered less than 40 million doses. “This has failed Nigeria and many countries,” Mr. Erondu said [trong việc tiêm chủng]”. America is part of the problem. The Trump administration has refused to sign on to COVAX, a move that reflects its narrow “America First” philosophy. The Trump administration at the time either didn’t understand, or didn’t care, that vaccinating poor countries also helped protect rich countries. After all, the virus doesn’t care about borders. Mr. Biden reversed the decision in February. The administration has committed $4 billion in cash, making the US the largest donor of COVAX, albeit somewhat belatedly. In a parallel move, Mr. Biden also signaled support for a controversial proposal to give the WTO a copyright exemption for a Covid-19 vaccine. In theory, the decision would allow any manufacturer in any country to produce doses of the vaccine. However, experts are still divided on whether the patent waiver will lead to more doses of the vaccine being shipped to countries in need. Meanwhile, many richer countries have been slow to implement their COVAX commitments. Meanwhile, strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus continue to target unprotected populations from one area to another. Nigeria is about to become the “storm center” of Covid-19. However, this West African country may not suffer the same fate as India. Because vaccines are available. Existing mechanisms will get the vaccine to the countries that need it most. It is worth mentioning that many countries have a surplus of vaccines but do not appreciate the importance of sharing vaccines with other countries. (According to Daily Beast)

Wild mustangs in the US are of Spanish origin. According to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), mustangs are not wild horses because they come from a domesticated population, and therefore, wild mustangs are considered wild. They can be found freely throughout the western United States but are kept and ridden by humans like other horses. According to Horse Canada, a government-run horse website, the Mustang has a muscular body and hard hooves, which makes them suitable for scouting and horseback riding. Equus horses, evolved in North America about 4 million years ago, before spreading to the rest of the world. The last real American wild horses died about 10,000 years ago, possibly due to climate change and human interactions. Characteristics of Mustang Mustangs, like other horses, are usually measured by hand, typically 14 to 15 arm span tall. This is equivalent to 56 inches to 60 inches (140 to 150 cm). They weigh about 360 kg. Mustangs can be available in a variety of colors. Usually, they are reddish brown, or sorrel, chestnut in color. They can also have multiple patches, spots, and stripes. Mustang lives in the grasslands of the western United States and mainly feeds on grasses and palms. The US Land Administration oversees “wild” horse and burro populations, and allows them to run freely on 10.9 million hectares of public land. The range is divided into 10 herd management zones: Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana-Dakotas, New Mexico, Oregon-Washington, Utah and Wyoming. According to Smithsonian Magazine, wild horses also live on the Atlantic coast and on islands such as the Sable Islands, Shackleford and Assateague. Mustangs live in herds. According to the Humane Society, a herd consists of a stallion and about eight females and calves, although separate herds have been known to mix when they are in danger. Each herd is led by a mare or mare and a stallion over 6 years old. In dangerous situations, the dominant mare will lead the herd to a safe place, the stallion staying to fight. Like other mammals, the mare is 11 months pregnant and usually born in April, May or early June. This gives foals time to grow before the cold months of the year. Horses typically live for 25 to 30 years in captivity, although some live up to the age of 40. Horses that live in the wild, like wild populations in public lands in the western United States, generally have a shorter lifespan, although they have been reported to live up to 36 years. There are many types of mustangs? Horses originally introduced by the Spanish into North America bred with other domestic horses for many years and, therefore, Mustangs are often a mix of several different breeds. These breeds include draft horses and purebred horses. Mustangs bred between different populations and some more closely resembled their Hispanic ancestors than others. For example, Oregon Kiger mustangs live in small, isolated herds and their bloodline is largely derived from early Spanish horses. Mustangs are known for their wild nature, but they can be domesticated and rode like other horses. However, this process will take longer if they are obtained directly from the wild – rather than in captivity – and they are not used to being handled by villagers. The number of mustangs declined dramatically in the 20th century due to horses being killed and captured for a variety of reasons, including for human and dog food. America in 1900; According to AMNH, by 1971, the number of mustangs had decreased to 17,300. The Mustang was later secured on public lands, along with burros. The US Congress declared the mustang “a living symbol of the historic spirit and pioneer of the West.” This Act also allows them to be regulated and controlled. The US Land Administration controls mustang and burro counts on public lands. The process is controversial and several wildlife protection groups. Without human intervention, mustang populations can rapidly increase because not many predators, such as wolves, can naturally control them, according to AMNH.

When the Covid-19 pandemic first broke out, the vaccine was still just a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. The term “community immunity” is to denote the end of the epidemic. Community immunity means that when enough Americans are protected from the virus, the pathogen is eliminated, New York Times said. Today, more than half of all adults in the United States receive at least one dose of the vaccine. But vaccination rates are declining, and there is consensus among scientists and public health experts that public immunity cannot be achieved, at least in the near future, and perhaps never. hours. They came to the conclusion that the virus could become a controllable threat that will continue to spread in the US for many years to come. It still causes flare-ups with hospitalizations and deaths, but on a smaller scale. Depends on the strain’s ability of the virus How much smaller future outbreaks will be and the number of cases and deaths is uncertain. It depends on how many countries in the world are vaccinated, and more importantly, how the virus evolved. Viruses are evolving too quickly. The new strains spread very quickly. Meanwhile, the immunization speed is too slow. That makes the expectation of community immunity even more distant. The United States is one of the countries with the highest rates of Covid-19 vaccination in the world. Photo: New York Times. Experts believe that vaccinating high-risk groups will be crucial to limit the size of new outbreaks. “The virus is unlikely to go away, but we are doing all we can to see if it is likely to cause only mild infections,” said Rustom Antia, an evolutionary biologist at Emory University in Atlanta, USA. said. To date, experts still cannot be sure what percentage of the population has anti-Covid-19 antibodies. Even for people with antibodies, experts cannot be sure of their immunity to new strains. Dr Anthony S. Fauci, the leading adviser to the Joe Biden administration on Covid-19, admits the change in thinking among experts. “We stopped using the term community immunity. I said, vaccinate a sufficient number of people, the level of infection will drop,” he said. Why is community immunity difficult to achieve When the corona virus begins to spread globally in early 2020, many experts believe that public immunity is the key to escaping the pandemic. That is when enough people have acquired immunity, including through natural infection or vaccination, when the virus will run out of people to infect and go away on its own. 30% of the US population is reluctant to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: New York Times. The concept of public immunity has become a tacit target in many countries, including the United States. Initially, the threshold for achieving public immunity is 60-70% of the infected population. Most experts, including Dr. Fauci, believe that the United States can achieve public immunity before vaccines become available. But when the vaccine started to be distributed, this threshold estimate began to increase. Initial estimates were made based on the spread of the original virus. Variant B.117 – first discovered in the UK – was up to 60% more infectious than the original strain. Experts estimate the new threshold to 80%. If new strains continue to grow and spread, or if scientists find vaccinated people can still transmit the virus, the threshold calculation may need to be revised again. In addition, recent polls show that about 30% of the US population is afraid to be vaccinated. “Theoretically we could get an immunization rate of 90% of the population, but in reality it’s very difficult,” said Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. While vaccination resistance is the main reason why the United States cannot achieve public immunity, it is not the main reason. Community immunity is often seen as a national target, but it’s a vague concept in a country as large as the United States. On a global scale, this possibility becomes even more distant. Immunization is still the key Dr. David M. Morens, senior advisor to Dr. Fauci, said community immunity can vary with population size, human behavior and many other factors. A small outbreak in a low vaccination area could spill over and hit an area where the majority of the population was vaccinated. Immunization remains the key to dealing with the epidemic. Photo: New York Times. At the same time, the connections between the countries of the world, especially when the travel restriction is reduced, underscores the urgency of protection, not only for Americans but for other countries as well. Any new strain of Covid-19 that arises in the world will eventually come to America. At that time, the vaccination rate is the decisive factor for the protection level of the community with the new strains. Many parts of the world lag far behind the United States in immunization. Less than 2% of Indians are vaccinated and less than 1% in South Africa, according to data New York Times . “We will not achieve public immunity as nations, states, even cities, until we have immunity in all populations,” Lauren Ancel Says Meyers, director of the Covid Modeling Organization, University of Texas. By focusing on vaccinating the most at-risk groups, the US has reduced its mortality rate compared to before. If vaccination rates continue to increase over time, the corona virus may become seasonal, similar to the flu. The biggest challenge facing health professionals is convincing people to vaccinate. Many Americans remain skeptical of the vaccine’s effectiveness. Another group lacked access to vaccines, such as homeless people, migrant workers, or certain communities of color. That makes the goal of achieving community immunity even more difficult. The mentality of the vast majority of people is that they want to see someone else embrace something, before they’re willing to try it. Emphasizing the benefits of vaccination may become more effective than the fictional idea of ​​herd immunity. “That will resonate with people more than the elusive concept that experts are still trying to come up with,” said Mary Politi, a specialist in health and health communication, University of Washington. Experts also recommend increasing vaccination rates for children, even babies. Because over time, if there aren’t enough people vaccinated, new strains can develop and disrupt the vaccine’s ability to protect itself.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched the largest immunization campaign in human history with the aim of distributing vaccine doses to 190 countries and limiting the risk of dangerous mutations. However, this project is currently racing against time. The man trying to save the world now stands in a Connecticut kindergarten, USA. He puts his laptop in front of him and sunlight is shining through the window into a crib. Benjamin Schreiber is barefoot and his hair is messy. The 46-year-old seems to have just woken up, but almost every day, he gets up from sunrise. His job is one of the most important and difficult in the world.

Countries that buy the most Covid-19 vaccine.

In the remaining country – Haiti, the first potential vaccine shipment has been delayed. The vaccination team appears to be ready, but political and social issues are hindering shipping. Fuel in Haiti is expensive, roads are poor, budgets are miscalculated. Many people do not believe in Western aid, others do not understand Covid-19. There are discussions like this every day Schreiber. On a small scale, it often involves questions about the proper way to cool vaccines, about ingenuity in dealing with governments. However, at the core of the matter has always been global justice. The new strain corona virus has spread to every continent and infected at least 128 million people. It has ruined economies and destroyed families. Up to now, a global medical emergency has been in effect for more than a year. Citizens in some developed countries have been protected from the corona virus and many others in Africa, Asia and Latin America are still waiting to be vaccinated. Carrying vaccines to remote areas in Nepal. Photo: SPIEGEL To date, nearly 600 million doses of the vaccine have been used around the world. However, nearly two-thirds of them are used in six countries. About 60% of Israelis, less than half of Britons and one-tenth of Germans have been vaccinated at least once. In Namibia, where a population of more than 2 million people, less than 1,500 people have been vaccinated. In some other countries, no one has been vaccinated yet. Earlier this year, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned of a “moral disaster”. An effort has been made to prevent that disaster. A global mechanism, called COVAX, was born to support the equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines to countries. WHO launched the initiative a year ago and a vaccine consortium called GAVI and the Alliance for Pandemic Readiness Innovation (CEPI) also joined. Almost every country in the world participates in COVAX. Many countries and regions have attempted to smooth the infection curve of Covid-19. Photo: John Hopkins University COVAX’s goal is that 92 of the poorest member countries get vaccines as fast as 98 rich countries. The rich countries pay more for the initiative and the poorest countries get discounts or free vaccinations, with each country vaccinating a fifth of its population by the end of the year. It is UNICEF’s responsibility to ensure that vaccines reach their destination. The new strain corona virus is constantly changing. Most changes do not affect the degree of danger posed by the virus, but some mutations, like the strains that occurred in Brazil and the US, do. And the more the number of countries experiencing uncontrolled outbreaks, the more likely the world will have to deal with the next mutation. So how do you vaccinate those most threatened, such as the elderly, the sick, and health care workers around the world? How can COVAX achieve its ambitious goals? Graph of increasing Covid-19 cases among countries. Photo: Bloomberg A group of German magazine Der Spiegel reporters have followed the vaccine around the world. They went to vaccine factories in India, to warehouses in Copenhagen, Denmark. It all goes to the end: The vaccine is delivered to health workers in Malawi, who received their first shot in March. The reporters also witnessed a German at a kindergarten. in the US to plan vaccine distribution. Schreiber has been with UNICEF for 8 years. His biggest challenge last year, he said, was preparing nations for a short period of time. COVAX’s goal is to ship about 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of this year, corresponding to about 850 tons of vaccine per month and 1 billion syringes. Thousands of cooling boxes have to be transported to the most remote corners of the world by jeeps, boats, drones and even donkeys. Even in normal years, UNICEF vaccinates nearly every child around the world. However, UNICEF has never faced a global pandemic. The Republic of Seychelles is currently leading the world because there are enough vaccines for 63.1% of the population. Photo: Bloomberg. Immunization campaigns are usually planned many years in advance, but this time only a few months. Vaccine recipients are diverse, some have been successful, some have failed, some have only a few hundred thousand people, some have more than a billion. Countries were asked by UNICEF to explain in writing how they intend to manage the logistics of vaccinations. Schreiber read over 100 of these lengthy plans, mostly twice. He corrects and makes suggestions for improvements. Most of the time, things go well, but sometimes it doesn’t. The governments of Tanzania, Eritrea and Madagascar are still debating that Covid-19 is a dangerous disease. However, the effort paid off. On February 24, the first shipment of COVAX landed in Ghana. The first shipment to Haiti is also planned. By the end of March, UNICEF had distributed 20 million doses of the vaccine to 47 countries.

The Falkland Islands or Malvinas located in the Atlantic Ocean are one of the most famous places in the world. The economic benefits of this place mainly come from sheep husbandry, ecotourism and fishing. In particular, the island has nearly 170 times more sheep than the population, making many people curious and interested. Specifically, most of the area on the Falkland Islands is used as lawns to feed sheep. People on the island raise sheep for high quality wool and raise meat. Therefore, the number of sheep on the Falkland Islands is always higher than the population. According to a 2002 census, the population of the island was about 3,000 people. Meanwhile, the number of sheep raised in the Falkland Islands is about 500,000. This means that there are 167 times more sheep in the Falkland Islands than there are people living there. Due to the large number of sheep on the island, some people call the Falkland Islands an island of sheep. In addition to sheep, the Falkland Islands are also home to a number of other animals such as eagles, albatross, penguins … English is the official language of the Falkland Islands. A small number of people speak Spanish as a second language. An interesting thing about the phone numbers of the people of the Falkland Islands are only 5 numbers. Unlike many parts of the world, the Falkland Islands do not have a chain of stores. Invite readers to watch the video: Green tourism in the Ivory Coast’s plastic island. Source: THĐT 1.

Ancient corona virus illustration, 25,000 years ago. The current COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 3 million people and shows how vulnerable people are to the genetically modified corona virus. However, this threat seems to have occurred since the early days when humans had to fight these dangerous viruses. “There are always viruses that infect humans,” said senior study author David Enard, associate professor of ecology and evolution at the University of Arizona, USA. Viruses are actually one of the main drivers of natural selection in the human genome. That’s because genes that increase the chances of the pathogen’s survival are more likely to be passed on to new generations. ” Using modern tools, researchers can detect traces of these ancient pathogens by precisely identifying how they promote natural selection in today’s human DNA. Accordingly, this information can provide valuable insight to help predict future pandemics. Enard said: “Almost always is when things that happened in the past are more likely to happen in the future.” Using information available in public databases, Enard and his team analyzed the genomes of 2,504 people across 26 different human populations around the world. When corona viruses get inside human cells, they attack the cell’s machinery to replicate. This means that the viral success depends on its interaction with hundreds of different human proteins. Researchers magnified a set of 420 human proteins known to interact with the corona virus, 332 of which interact with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Most of these proteins help viruses multiply inside cells, but some help cells fight viruses. The genes that encode those proteins mutate continuously and randomly, but if the mutation gives the gene an advantage, such as a better resistance to the virus – then the gene has a chance to be passed on. next or selected higher. Indeed, the researchers found that, in people of East Asian descent, certain genes interacting with the corona virus were selected. In other words, over time certain variations show up more often than expected. This set of mutations may have helped the ancestors of the human population in this region become more ancient antiviral by altering the amount of protein produced by the cell. The genetic variations encoding 42 of the 420 proteins they analyzed began to increase in frequency about 25,000 years ago, the researchers found. The spread of beneficial variants continued until about 5,000 years ago. This suggests that the ancient virus continued to threaten these populations for a long time. Viruses cause pressure to adapt “Viruses exert some of the strongest selective pressures on humans to adapt, and corona viruses have probably been around since,” said Joel Wertheim, associate professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. long before man existed. However, it is difficult to say whether the virus that caused this evolution is the corona virus, but it seems to be a plausible theory. David Enard agrees that the ancient pathogen that harmed our ancestors may not have been the corona virus; instead, it is possible that another virus that has happened to interact with human cells in the same way that corona viruses do. Another group of researchers recently discovered that sarbecovirus, a family of the corona virus that includes SARS-CoV-2, first evolved 23,500 years ago, at the same time as variations in the genes that encode the proteins related to the corona virus have appeared for the first time in humans. Findings of the sarbecovirus virus were also published in bioRxiv on February 9 and have yet to be peer reviewed. While these findings are compelling, they do not change our understanding of which populations are more likely to survive SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although, there is no evidence that adaptation of this ancient gene protects modern humans from SARS-CoV-2. Enard and his team now hope to work with virologists to understand how this adaptation helped ancient humans survive exposure to this protozoan strain of the corona virus. The team also hopes that such ancient genomic studies could eventually be used as an “early warning system” for future pandemics. David Enard adds, although we clearly see the impact of this ancient virus on human ancestors, future generations will not be able to see traces of SARS-CoV-2 in the genome. our. Thanks to vaccination, there is no time for the virus to promote evolutionary adaptation.

Countless exciting experiences in the number 1 entertainment paradise in the North await, with attractive combos and safe measures to prevent epidemics, Sun World Halong Complex is a worthy destination to start a summer. brilliant.

Visitors cannot visit the temples of Angkor in the next two weeks. The Cambodian government has decided to close the world-famous Angkor temple complex for two weeks in an effort to stop the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country. The closure of this world’s most popular attraction is the latest attempt in a series of measures by the Cambodian government after the number of Covid-19 cases increased rapidly in the “pagoda country” in February. In a notice issued on April 7, the Angkor Population Management Authority said visitors will not be able to visit this UNESCO heritage site from April 7 to April 20. The Angkor complex, located in Siem Reap province, attracted 2.2 million foreign tourists in 2019. But the site also experienced a sharp recession last year due to disruptions caused by the pandemic. cause. Cambodia still allows tourists to enter the country but they have to quarantine before making any trips to the country. On April 8, Cambodia’s Ministry of Health announced that the country had recorded 113 new cases of Covid-19 and two more deaths due to Covid-19. Cambodia has now recorded a total of 3,028 cases of Covid-19, of which 23 were fatal.

Standing Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh delivers the opening speech at the conference. (Photo: baochinhphu.vn) According to the report of the Steering Committee of Project 896, up to now, the task of building the National Database on Population and Production and Citizen Identification has been carried out on schedule. Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Hong Linh chaired at Ha Tinh bridge point. As of March 5, 2021, the country had 98,736,106 ordinary people. In which, 86,603,192 votes DC01 of 59/63 localities have been collected; transferring and synchronizing data of 4 localities: Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Can Tho, Tay Ninh were available as: 11,204,794 (reaching 99.06%); 16,050,224 DC02 votes have been updated. The Ministry of Public Security instructed and directed the local police to organize 6,000 checks and revisions to ensure “correct, sufficient, clean, living” information on the population. The leadership representative of the Ministry of Public Security reports on the results of the implementation of the master project on simplifying administrative procedures, citizenship papers and data bases related to population management in the period of 2013 – 2020. Currently, the People’s Public Security Forces are simultaneously issuing new citizen identification cards to citizens across the country with many outstanding advantages (cards with electronic chips with high security plan; ensuring standards design, aesthetic, durable, beautiful …). Director of Administrative Procedures Control Department – Government Office Ngo Hai Phan: It is recommended that ministries, departments, branches and localities continue to upgrade public service portals, electronic one-door information systems, specialized databases and information systems to ensure connectivity, extraction of information from the national database on population. By the end of March 24, 2021, the system of the Ministry of Justice provided 5,454,937 valid registration data of Vietnamese citizens (as of the time of updating data into the system, there were not enough 14 age and birth registration date from 1/1/2016 onwards). Representative of the Ministry of Information and Communications: Ministries, branches and localities need to use the national data-sharing and integration platform as the “backbone” for data connection, integration and sharing nationwide. Ministries, branches and localities have actively implemented the review of administrative procedures (TTHC), citizenship papers and databases related to population management. Up to now, out of a total of 1,934 administrative procedures that require citizen information to resolve, ministries and branches have proposed to simplify 1,126 administrative procedures, accounting for 58.2%. Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Ngo Minh Chau: The Government is requested to continue to direct, the Ministry of Public Security and other ministries and agencies to guide the relevant provinces and cities so that the construction must be synchronous, unified, and avoid overlapping and duplication. At the conference, delegates pointed out some outstanding issues such as: the construction of the electronic civil status database was not synchronous, not consistent with the national database on population; Many units and localities have not actively prepared technical infrastructure to ensure the readiness to connect to the national database on population; The construction of a specialized database is focusing only on the management of private operations … Concluding the conference, Standing Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh emphasized that the promulgation of Project 896 is of special importance, contributing to a breakthrough in residential management from manual to modern. move from paper documents to electronic records through information technology applications. Standing Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh delivered the conclusion of the meeting The Standing Deputy Prime Minister affirmed that the results of Project 896 have created a foundation for improving the efficiency of population management towards modernization, implementing administrative reform plans, building and developing the Government. e, towards digital government, digital economy, digital society. In the coming time, the Ministry of Public Security is requested to coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to continue to complete the construction of an electronic civil status database, consistent with the national database on population. Ministries, branches and localities shall connect the national database on population with specialized databases; to efficiently exploit and use the national database on population in service of building e-Government, towards digital government, digital economy and digital society. Delegates meeting at the head of Ha Tinh bridge. The Ministry of Information and Communications coordinates with ministries, branches and localities to ensure the connection, integration and sharing of data between databases and information systems related to the population with the national database on population. ensure compliance with regulations and technical instructions as prescribed. The Standing Deputy Prime Minister also requested the Ministry of Justice to urgently complete the construction of the electronic civil status database, ensuring consistency with the national database on population; coordinate with the Ministry of Public Security in removing difficulties and problems related to civil status determination in special cases. Ministries, branches and localities have strengthened coordination to complete plans to simplify administrative procedures, citizenship papers and databases related to population management in the coming time. At Ha Tinh bridge point, Standing Vice Chairman of Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Hong Linh suggested that in the coming time, relevant departments and localities continue to seriously implement the Government’s directive documents, leads of relevant ministries and branches. Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Hong Linh assigns tasks at the Ha Tinh bridge point. Strengthen propaganda to create consensus among the people in implementing the tasks of Project 896. The police, departments, branches and localities work closely to connect and share effectively the database on the population. Must exploit effectively, ensure safety and security of the network and national database information on population.

Mr. Le Van Hien (sitting in the middle) and members of the Community Conservation Group record data on white-assed langurs living in Thanh Son forest. Nearly 30 years as a hunter, he is a famous veteran hunter in the region, but for nearly 10 years, Mr. Le Van Hien, Thanh Son commune, Kim Bang district (Ha Nam) has determined to “guard the gun”, voluntarily Participating in conservation of white-assed langurs – a rare animal in the list of the 25 most endangered animals in the world is in danger of extinction. He is honored to be the second person from Vietnam to be named a “Conservation Hero” by the International Wildlife Organization (FFI). Old story with the forest Born and raised on the edge of Thanh Son forest, Kim Bang district, the childhood days of the boy Le Van Hien and the children in the village were always intimately attached to the forest. Mr. Hien’s childhood at that day was the series of days following his parents to the forest to pick bamboo shoots, catch animals, cut down trees and burn coal to make ends meet. Mr. Hien still remembers that at that time, he had just finished primary school and dropped out of school to go to the forest. Because they are still young, they mainly follow the old hunters in the village to go to the forest to hunt wild animals and bring them home to use as improved food. At the age of 17, he gathered enough money to buy his first hunting rifle, and officially became a hunter. At that time, the young man Hien’s skillful hunting skills with sharp eyes quickly became a “nightmare” of Kim Bang forest animals at that time. After returning from the army in 1983, Mr. Hien continued to work in the forest to hunt for a living. An individual of white rump. Sitting on the porch, right at the foot of the forest, with the hot tea pot and the yellow civet, looking towards the edge of the forest, Mr. Hien recalled. In the past, there were many wild animals in Thanh Son forest, all kinds of things. After every night when I came back from the forest to hunt, I had to hire someone to take home the animals. Animals are displayed in the house: chamois, baskets, civets, porcupines, donkeys, pangolins, monkeys, langurs … A chamois is worth a few pounds of paddy, a monkey or semi-cooked langur can measure several tons of paddy. , traders to take place to buy. Thanks to that, my family’s economy is getting better and better day by day. At that time, I used to think that I would stick with hunting for a lifetime. Smoking pipe tobacco, releasing white smoke, Mr. Hien talked. But later, the animals in the forest were also more and more depleted, and the authorities at all levels also propagated a lot about the protection of rare animals. At that time, there were many wildlife research groups of organizations coming here to penetrate and learn. Knowing that I have experience in the jungle, experts invited me to join groups of experts on surveying and researching in Kim Bang forest. I remember forever when I accepted the invitation for a month to lead expert Le Van Dung (in Cuc Phuong National Park) to investigate the white-assed langur in Kim Bang. It was the first time in many years that I went into the forest without a gun. A week watching the white-rumped langurs, the golden monkeys through the binoculars, the far angle, wider than the flyhead, I watched the two orange-colored langurs wrapped in tangerine on my mother’s side, the father langurs taught their children to eat. They play happily together like children. Again, Uncle Dung always cooed and advised me “Let go of the gun!”. Once he saw that I was watching intently two baby langurs, he put in my ear: You see, they have the same love as humans. If one child in the family dies, the others will be sad and stop eating. Mother langur dies, children will also die. At that time, I just kept quiet and began to regret my previous hunting actions. After every trip with the primate researcher returned, there were long nights when I had no sleep. The night I lay, I looked up at the ceiling, then looked at my two little children. The round black eyes of the baby langurs haunt me again. After that, I understood and realized the preciousness of forest resources to be protected. But because of my living life, I also struggled with ideas. It took many nights of thinking and pondering that I decided to discuss with my wife to quit the job of hunter. Unexpectedly at that time it was my wife who was the first to support me to quit the job, although knowing that it was a series of difficult days for the whole family. It took me two years to scramble to find a job. At times, I worked as a drill and blasting worker for a rock breaking business. Uncertainty work is more dangerous, only when I get home will my wife and children feel assured that I am back alive and breathe a sigh of relief. But I think I gave up my job as a hunter and went to work as a mine blasting worker. It also affected the langurs and monkeys in the forest. Then I became bored again and quit the job as a mine blasting worker. I turned to invest in raising pigs, chickens, cultivating with my wife and children to make ends meet. Mr. Hien said, I am very lucky and proud to have a wife of algae and always beside me to encourage me to share with me. Up to now, I still remember her encouraging words to motivate me to overcome difficulties in life. Before when I was hunting, when I wore wild animals, she was happy, but now, no matter what she brought from the forest, she could not agree, because my job was to protect the cave. , the plants in the forest. If we do that, we can protect someone, tell who they hear. She said: From the day you quit the job as a hunter of wild animals, you were like a glass of filtered water, now if you come back then you will make it more cloudy, that I never want. So since I quit the job as a hunter, my heart has been relieved. Pay the debt with the forest Thanks to the hunting profession, Mr. Hien has more than half of his life attached to the forest and belongs to Kim Bang forest like the palm of his hand. He no longer goes to the forest to hunt animals, but every day, Mr. Hien still wants to go back to the forest and do something. That is useful, practical to repay the debt with the forest. At the beginning of 2016, Mr. Le Van Hien led experts from the International Organization for the Conservation of Wildlife and Fauna to Kim Bang Forest to survey the white-ass langur. The important information he provided that day helped scientists and experts of the International Wildlife Organization to discover the second largest population of white-lipped langurs in the world. Kim Bang. At the end of 2016, the International Wildlife and Fauna Conservation Organization (FFI) came to Kim Bang to implement a conservation program of white-ass langur. Without hesitation, Mr. Le Van Hien volunteered to participate, then the Community Conservation Team was established and he was appointed as the leader. Since then he was very happy, because I had the opportunity to return to the forest, but this time back to the forest with a different mindset – a leader in the protection of the forest and rare mascots. The work of the patrol team is to remove animal traps, monitor the location and habitat of the white-ass langur and the animals in the forest. When detecting destructive behavior, hunting animals, the team will notify the forest rangers to handle. Since then, Mr. Hien has taught himself how to use cameras, positioning equipment, and how to divide forest plots to mark the position of langurs. Four years of tracking, observing and recording many valuable images from the herd of white rump langurs living in Kim Bang forest. He is very passionate and enthusiastic when talking about langurs. He said, I just saw the streak of broken branches, smelled the urine and knew how many days ago the langurs ate in this area. He also belongs to each species of tree that langurs like to eat. In the herd, the strongest male langurs lead the way, providing a good environment for other animals to eat. Baby langurs are picked up by the whole herd when the mother goes to eat. Young male douc that reaches adulthood (6 years) will fight the dominant male. The male loses, leaving the herd, wandering alone (local people often call it “poisonous”) to lure the females to follow and form a new herd. The knowledge about langur behavior was carefully recorded in the notebook, passed on to the members of the nest. Tens of thousands of pictures and videos of langurs were sent by him to primate experts. Each trip to the forest of Mr. Hien and his teammates lasted from three to seven days, a month, his team members had to go and stay for up to 16 days in the forest, but he could be better. After four years of establishment and maintenance, the Kim Bang District Community Conservation Group, headed by Mr. Hien, has made active contributions to the conservation of forest diversity, especially the white-ass langur. As a result, the population of white-lipped langurs in Kim Bang forest is growing day by day, there are 12 herds with about 110 individuals, the second largest in the world, after Van Long Wetland Reserve, Ninh Binh province. Mr. Le Van Hien shared that the motivation for him to actively participate in activities in the biodiversity protection in general and the conservation of the white-crowned langur in particular in Kim Bang forest came from the anxiety about the work damages his forest while hunting and wishes to “pay his debt to the forest”. I hope everyone will join hands to protect the white-assed langur that nature has bestowed on Ha Nam forest. The authorities soon finalized the procedures to establish a planned protected area so that the patrol was less strenuous. At the same time, it is necessary to promote propaganda about the practical meaning of forest protection to all strata of people, especially in schools, so that children can knowingly and consciously participate in protecting the white-crowned langur. It is very rare in the locality, because now many children do not know what langurs are. In order to deserve the title “Conservation Hero” awarded by the International Wildlife and Fauna Conservation Organization, Mr. Hien will work with members of the Kim Bang District Community Conservation Team in their efforts to complete their graduation. to protect the biodiversity of Kim Bang forest, conserve the population of white-shanked douc langur – a rare animal in the list of the 25 most endangered animals in the world that are in danger of extinction.

Among them, Erdaobaihe Town, located at the foot of Changbai Mountain, has taught me unforgettable. It is known as one of the 20 must-visit towns in the world and one of the most characteristic towns in China. It is not only because of the beauty of its natural scenery, but also because of the “cleanness” of the town. This is probably the cleanest tourist town I have ever seen. Unlike any tourist town, Erdaobaihe Town is “submerged” in the virgin forest. The town has a population of about 50,000 (2017) and the forest coverage rate is over 94%. People living here seem to be in a secret world. The town is very quiet, the roads are clean and tidy, the air is fresh and pleasant, and there are no traffic lights (when I go in 2019). Here, there are no rushing figures, no passing cars, no crowds of tourists, and no hustle and bustle of business atmosphere. Everything is so clean and tidy. The impression of the Northeast is completely changed because of this small town. Coming here during the May Day holiday is really far away from the crowds and enjoy a moment of tranquility in the world and soul. Erdaobaihe Town is named after the Erdaobai River flowing down the Changbai Mountains winding through the town. It is located on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, 34 kilometers away from Changbai Mountain. It is located at the “source of three rivers” (Songhua River, Tumen River, Yalu River), and 8 large and small rivers flow through here. The most beautiful one is Erdaobai River, which runs through the entire town, creating a landscape surrounded by forest and flowing water. Usually, tourists who go to Changbai Mountain to see Tianchi basically eat and stay here. In addition to its good green environment, it also has a good environment for eating and living. It is worth mentioning that you must not miss the barbecue (the northeast barbecue is very good, and I am very impressed by the barbecue when I go to several places). Try it. The town is quiet and peaceful, free from traffic, no traffic lights, and no haze. The happiness index is extremely high. In this world “submerged” by nature, it is especially suitable for a daze. It has the reputation of “Hometown of White Birch” and “Hometown of Beauty Pine”. It is a tourist attraction with the reputation of “Sacred Mountain, Holy Water, Wonderful Forest, Fairy Fruit”. The reflection of the forest everywhere makes Erdaobaihe Town as beautiful as an oil painting. The locals can see the four seasons on their windowsill, which is really enviable. When I wandered the streets and alleys of the town, I was almost intoxicated. In addition to being quiet, it is also very clean. The cleanliness reminds me of some tourist towns abroad. The most beautiful time in Erdaobaihe Town is in autumn, but its spring and summer are certainly not bad (it was autumn when I went). Since the forest coverage rate of the town is as high as 94%, people can enjoy the tranquility of the primitive forest as long as they walk into the town. At the same time, the clean and refreshing environment is comfortable for the body and mind and has a powerful “pulmonary washing” function. In the autumn of Erdaobaihe Town, the sky is unimaginably blue. The yellow or red leaves are eye-catching, and the roadside is full of small flowers. Among them, the purple chrysanthemum is my favorite. It is the flowers of autumn and the colors of autumn. It embellishes Erdaobaihe Town very beautifully. When I saw it, I couldn’t help thinking that the Northeast, which was once developed by heavy industry, is not only not so stiff, but also full of softness that southerners have never noticed. This is very similar to a Dalian girl I know. Although I am from the Northeast, my softness and loveliness makes me feel good. There is a large area of ​​beauty pine in the center of the town. It is reported that even if transplanted in other places, it cannot survive. It is called a miracle. I recommend everyone to go to the beautiful pine covered bridge (openwork + glass covered bridge) in the town, which not only overlooks the town, but also can see a large forest landscape. Although this is a small town that thrives on Changbai Mountain tourism, it is actually strong. Pumice is rich in reserves and is mainly used for garment processing and construction materials. A large amount of pumice is exported to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia every year. At the same time, water is also the treasure here. In the early years, the Changbai Mountain mineral water brand named “Baishan Shengshui” was here. It is reported that due to the very good environment here, the content of negative oxygen ions reaches 90,000 per cubic meter, making many southern tourists come here to buy houses. In the fall of 2019, when I came here, I couldn’t help but wonder and yearn for it. At that time, the house price here was 6,000 per square meter, but now it is estimated that it has risen a lot.
