Wax coconut, a famous specialty of Tra Vinh province. Photo: MD. The Board of Evaluation and Acceptance of Scientific and Technological Tasks of Tra Vinh Province has just accepted the topic “Design and manufacture of equipment to determine the percentage of wax in coconuts” by Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Tra Vinh University as the chair. Wax coconut is a famous specialty of Tra Vinh province. However, determining the percentage of wax in coconuts has long depended on the experience of gardeners. The use of Deep Learning classification equipment helps gardeners determine the percentage of wax in coconuts with the correct probability of up to 95%, determine the percentage of solid wax and liquid wax with 80% probability, should be graded by the council. rather. Mr. Luu Van Nhan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Tra Vinh province, said that in the past to choose wax coconuts, gardeners’ experience was to shake, but often not absolutely accurate. Nhan said, while still working in Cau Ke, a delegation of the National Assembly ordered 50 waxed coconuts, he asked a reputable agent to collect them. But after asking, I found out that there are many fruits like normal dried coconut. Council for acceptance of coconut wax measuring equipment.

Therefore, determining the percentage of waxy coconuts is extremely meaningful to avoid the fact that a 150,000 VND waxed coconut turns into a coconut. dry 10,000 VND. I find this research very close to the actual situation and has high practical application significance”, Mr. Nhan emphasized. According to Mr. Nhan, when applying this device, large-scale farmers, businesses that buy raw wax coconuts, and trading facilities will have more favorable conditions in business, especially the There is no doubt between the buyer and the seller. Now Mr. Nhan wants to buy 50 waxed coconuts, just put it in the machine will have results, from that result the price negotiation will be very close to reality. But Mr. Quick said that, to move towards commercialization, the research team’s product should be improved as compactly as possible for easy portability. The meter for measuring the percentage of wax in coconuts works at the acceptance test of the research topic. According to Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Vice Rector of Tra Vinh University, the knowledge economy is developing in line with the trend of industrial revolution 4.0, higher education institutions play a more important role to find new knowledge, transmit spread knowledge and apply that knowledge through scientific research activities and technology transfer into practice. At the same time, schools need to update the latest research from these scientific research results and transfer this technology into teaching to students in order to improve training quality. Because this is a measure for schools in applying knowledge to create practical values ​​for life. At Tra Vinh University, it is clear that 3 basic components including training, scientific research, technology transfer are inseparable, the development trend expands over time to meet the requirements of educational innovation. university education.

Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa shared: “Over the years, Tra Vinh University has promoted applied research and technology transfer activities among lecturers and students. In particular, focus on strongly developing the invention space among students and lecturers – makerspace, developing student research groups – IEEE Student Chapter at Tra Vinh University, developing Lab – invention space for students students, lecturers, student cooperative models, student farmer associations, and policies to encourage the incubation of start-up ideas, applied scientific research and technology transfer to serve the community. “. In the coming time, Tra Vinh University will continue to prioritize the implementation of projects to deploy research products with commercial potential, focusing on investing in strong research directions, prioritizing community service and closely associated with businesses, departments inside and outside the province in ordering scientific research and technology transfer.

This is the result of research from 2020, by a team of University of Sciences, Thai Nguyen University that has successfully carried out the project: “Research and development of a rapid detection kit for SARS-CoV- 2 viruses by Realtime technique”. The product of the project is 20 biological kits that have been used in screening for SARS-CoV2 virus detection at hospitals and Centers for Disease Control of Thai Nguyen province. Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Quang, President of Thai Nguyen University, said that during the 4th outbreak of the epidemic, the University directed to support 100 million VND for over 400 volunteers who are officers, students, and students. volunteered to the University of Medicine and Pharmacy to participate in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in Bac Giang and Bac Ninh provinces. This force has been carrying out tasks such as taking samples, testing, tracing, taking care of patients and other jobs at epidemic hotspots of the two localities. Currently, there are nearly 300 volunteers who are officials, students, and final year students of the school who have registered and are ready to go. In the past 3 epidemics and the current epidemic, member universities of Thai Nguyen University such as the University of Industrial Technology, the University of Information and Communication Technology, the branch of Thai Nguyen University in the province Lao Cai, University of Science, University of Education… also donated automatic body temperature measuring devices, automatic hand sanitizer dispensers, thousands of bottles of antiseptic solution to many agencies and applications. schools, schools in Thai Nguyen province and neighboring provinces to serve the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic. The Board of Directors of Thai Nguyen University has also directed member units to prepare facilities and coordinate with Thai Nguyen Province’s Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control in using the Education Center. National Defense and Security, the dormitories of universities, colleges, centers of Thai Nguyen University as a concentrated isolation area for COVID-19 prevention and control. Currently, Thai Nguyen province has issued a decision to establish a concentrated isolation area for COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control at the University of Technology and Industry, University of Agriculture and Forestry and a decision to establish a command center for the isolation area. COVID-19 prevention and control at the National Defense and Security Education Center.

Unlike the Arctic, where many countries around the world have built their own bases to serve a number of fields both in terms of science, economy and military, for Antarctica, this is still an unofficial land. government although the countries closest to it are Argentina, South Africa and Australia. Every year, during the winter, Antarctica does not receive any sunlight for 6 months; In summer, the sun is always on the horizon. Most of the sunlight falling on Antarctica is reflected back by the white ice, 1.9km thick on average, plus the highest terrain in the world (2,800m above sea level) giving this place its climate. coldest on earth. In the middle of summer, when the sun is perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer, the average temperature in Antarctica is -25°C. In winter, when the sun moves down the Northern Hemisphere, Antarctica is as cold as -65°C and in some places -89.2°C. A cruise ship takes visitors to Antarctica Initially, only seven countries made claims, including Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, and Great Britain, by setting up facilities in the name of scientific research. Some other countries such as India, Italy, Russia, USA, Pakistan, Ukraine… although not claiming sovereignty, they also build long-term and sustainable constructions. In 1959, after much controversy, in order to prevent military conflicts, the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and nine other countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, which essentially “set aside territorial claims” and use Antarctica for peaceful purposes only. Jane Francis, head of the Antarctic Survey, UK, said: “In 1980, five more countries made claims to sovereignty and now, 54 countries are present in Antarctica with 75 research stations. That poses many problems that need to be solved, such as climate change, fishing, tourism, resource exploitation…”. The results of 50 years of observations show that temperatures in some areas of Antarctica are rising much faster than the global average. This leads to melting glaciers and consequent sea level rise. Marine biologist Damon Stanwell-Smith, who first visited Antarctica more than 25 years ago, said: “Things have changed rapidly and we can see clearly. Just six years ago, there was Areas that are not accessible by boat during the winter are now experiencing large currents, allowing tour operators to bring tourists to visit Antarctica. Still according to Damon Stanwell-Smith, from November last year to April last, despite the raging COVID-19 pandemic, 51,000 tourists set foot on Antarctica, an increase of 17% over the previous year and will continue to grow. continues to increase even though the tour price is from 1,000USD to 100,000USD per person depending on geographical distance. “In addition to the 33 ships registered with the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat, there are 20 other ships under construction, not to mention the kayaking or air-plane tours that make Antarctica an oasis,” Mr. Damon said. play uncontrollably…”. The majority of tourists to Antarctica are Chinese, second only to the US in the ranking because Beijing is investing heavily in the continent, as part of its plan to become a “polar power”. What is Antarctica when the Antarctic Treaty is no longer in place? The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was adopted in 1991. It entered into force in 1998 and is the main instrument related to the conservation and management of biodiversity in Antarctica, in which There is a ban on exploitation of natural resources. However, after 50 years, the countries that signed the Antarctic Treaty can decide to amend the fishing ban provided that at least three-quarters of the current consultations – the 29 countries of the Antarctic Treaty – agree. Notice when the 50-year period will end in 2048. Whales slaughtered at a logistics base in Antarctica However, before the Environmental Protection Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty, seal hunting in Antarctica was practiced as early as the 18th century by the British, Norwegians, Argentines and Chilean. Meanwhile, large-scale whaling in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters increased sharply in the early 20th century, mainly by Norwegian and British companies. Whaling logistics stations erected in Antarctica are implied to be part of that country’s territory because, under international law, state activity is a key element of ownership territory. It is therefore not surprising that it is expressed in many forms by all the claimants to Antarctica, from scientific research facilities to dormitories for experts, rescue stations or offices that maintain navigation, airports, logistics, harbors, lighthouses, not to mention that some governments license whaling, seals, The establishment of national parks, the issuance of postage stamps, the mapping and naming of each area, etc., are concrete examples of the race to own Antarctica. According to National Geographic, UK, an increasing number of activities are damaging Antarctica, such as legal and illegal fishing, including the molluscs it contains. is the main food for whales. Arthur Devries, a fish biologist at the University of Illinois, USA, said that since 2003 he has not found an adult toothfish in Antarctica while in 1970, he caught 500 fish for a season to study a protein in the body of fish that helps make anticoagulants. Environmentalist Huck Dulown of the University of Gundee, UK, says he has collected hundreds of meters of damaged nets left behind by fishing boats, not to mention engine oil and household waste. travel. Huck Dulown said: “There are places called ‘scientific research stations’ but maybe inside are not military bases and it is not excluded that it hid missiles with nuclear warheads as it once happened. It goes against Article 1 of the Antarctic Treaty: “Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only. Any measures of a military nature, such as the establishment of military bases, the conduct of military exercises, the testing of any weapon, are prohibited. Antarctica is humanity’s last unspoiled reserve. Under the ice of this continent is an extremely large mineral resource including oil, copper, gold, titanium, uranium, rare earth …, and the surrounding seas are inhabited by many types of creatures. In addition, the glaciers in Antarctica contain 90% of the fresh water in the world, so South Africa, for example, was planning to pull an iceberg to serve the freshwater shortage in the city of Cap Town. A scientific research station in Antarctica And although Antarctica itself is a demilitarized zone, armed conflicts have arisen in a number of its vicinity, including Chile and Argentina over an island near Cape Horn, as well as claims to the South China Sea. The two countries’ overlapping territorial claims, or the war between Argentina and Great Britain over the Falkland Islands, is the gateway to Antarctica. Although the war ended long ago with the victory belonging to Britain, according to observers, it is very likely that it will flare up again. Jim Tymothy, a professor in the Department of Geopolitics, Yale University, USA, said: “The fate of the territories in Antarctica depends on the coordination of the great powers. If coordination is not achieved, the continent will share seven in the next 20 to 30 years, and that could lead to an Antarctic war, is based on these factors: The emergence of technology that allows the rapid and economical supply of fresh water from glaciers in the South China Sea. Antarctica to dry regions, rising oil prices and increasing demand for crude oil Besides, food also needs to be exploited more due to the growing global population, which requires fishing in Antarctic waters…”. At the moment, there is no such convergence of interests, but more than ever, it is likely to take shape because over 60 years, up to now, 54 countries have joined the Antarctic Treaty. including 29 European countries, 9 Asian countries, 8 South American countries, 4 in North and Central America, 3 in Oceania and 1 in Africa. Not only that, the number of consultative parties of the Treaty with bases in Antarctica is also constantly increasing: Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Chile, People’s Republic of China, Korea Countries, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, UK, India, Italy, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain, South Africa, Ukraine, Uruguay, USA and Switzerland. The remaining 25 countries join the Antarctic Treaty as non-consulting parties but still have the right to attend relevant meetings without being included in the decision-making process. However, although “not included in the decision-making process”, these 25 countries still assert their position in Antarctica through scientific research stations, airports, ports, logistics facilities, etc. So the Antarctic race probably hasn’t stopped yet because no one is sure that in the future, no country will send people to this cold continent…

Strengthening the material and technical foundations of S&T enterprises, contributing to promoting the creative potential of the S&T team. According to statistics from the Department of Science and Technology, the province currently has over 3,116 staff members engaged in scientific research and technology development (equivalent to 1,229 full-time researchers, reaching 3.5 people per ten thousand people), an increase 8% compared to 2015; the staff of science and technology in science and technology organizations is 1,706 people (including 201 doctors, 706 masters, 23 associate professors). Human resources with doctoral degrees are mainly concentrated in higher education institutions (universities) (2 higher education institutions have 191 doctorates, 8 research and development organizations have 2 doctorates – at the Institute of Agriculture Thanh Hoa; 29 organizations of science and technology, science and technology services with 8 doctorates). The increase in quantity and quality of human resources in science and technology in recent years have contributed significantly to socio-economic development in all fields of science, engineering and technology. natural sciences, social sciences and humanities… For example, in the field of engineering, technology has researched and applied many technical advances in the production of building materials and handicrafts. , preserving agricultural products after harvest, contributing to diversifying products, increasing productivity, and lowering product costs. The field of medicine and pharmacy has also researched and applied technology in the diagnosis, detection, prevention and treatment of diseases, assessing the situation of a number of diseases in the community, which tend to increase along with changes in the environment, climate and environment. Queen. Typically, open-heart surgery techniques at the Provincial General Hospital; Laparoscopic surgery combined with open surgery to treat non-anal malformations and blood replacement techniques for neonatal jaundice by automatic method at Children’s Hospital; Corneal transplant technique at Thanh Hoa Eye Hospital. In agriculture, a number of high-quality and productive plant varieties and livestock breeds, some advanced techniques have been transferred to the province, such as: fragrant rice, short-term rice, salt-tolerant rice; varieties of maize, green beans, soybeans, peanuts; high-tech products such as Kim Hoang melon, V2 seedless orange… The results of the strengthening of research and application of science and technology in various fields have made important contributions to the development of economic regions. – Social, key economic regions, bringing into play the advantages and potentials of localities. According to the assessment of functional sectors, in general, the S&T staff has actively participated in teaching and scientific research activities at universities, and S&T research at non-business units and enterprises. science and technology industry… In the course of work, the staff of science and technology, on the basis of their capacity and professional qualifications, have been arranged and used by agencies and units to preside over S&T tasks; supporting individuals in S&T activities to participate in domestic and international scientific conferences; participate in programs and projects of investment and cooperation in science and technology; critique the socio-economic development projects and plannings of the province…, contribute to improving the quality of programs, schemes and policies promulgated by the Provincial Party Committee, People’s Council and People’s Committee. Along with that, professional agencies have also built a database of S&T experts to join specialized S&T councils; participate in solving local S&T issues; at the same time, gather and attract many highly qualified S&T staff who have reached the end of their working age to participate in S&T research and training. Besides the achievements, the province’s S&T human resources still have limitations, such as, S&T human resources, although increasing in quantity and quality, are still small, not commensurate with the potential and development requirements. socio-economic development of the province. There is a shortage of leading officials and experts in high-level technology fields. S&T human resources are unevenly distributed, the structure and qualifications are not reasonable by region, region and field of operation; most of them are concentrated in the state sector, urban areas, private sectors, enterprises and rural areas are still low… The spirit of research cooperation and teamwork skills of the S&T force is still limited. Some branches and localities have not yet paid attention to and enlisted scientific human resources from the central government. Policies to attract, employ and reward S&T staff are slow to be renewed, inconsistent and ineffective. Some research works are still limited in quality, with low scientific content… Currently, the fourth industrial revolution and the process of extensive international integration have been posing many problems for the development of S&T human resources of the province in particular and the country in general. The explosive development of interdisciplinary, multi-industry and cross-sectoral technologies of the fourth industrial revolution not only brings opportunities but also poses great challenges for construction and development requirements. S&T human resources. Machines and artificial intelligence replacing human power will lead to the inevitable consequence that the demand for low-skilled cheap labor will give way to the demand for high-qualified human resources. Therefore, more than ever, the requirement to develop S&T human resources becomes more urgent. In particular, the process of comprehensive international integration is demanding that S&T human resources have global skills, update and keep up with new trends in the development of science and technology. Facing difficulties and challenges, in order to create a breakthrough in the development of S&T human resources to meet development requirements in the new situation, it requires functional sectors, committees and authorities at all levels to perform synchronously. many solutions such as raising awareness and renewing thinking for staff doing state management of science and technology. Develop a strategy and long-term vision on the creation of S&T human resources, in which the focus is on developing high-quality S&T human resources in association with the local socio-economic development strategy. Promoting the development of S&T human resources, including training and retraining associated with using and appreciating talents; well implement policies to nurture talents for young scientists. In addition, continuing to pay attention to sending S&T human resources to practice and work at international organizations, research institutes and universities abroad; strengthen bilateral and multilateral international academic exchanges and exchanges. At the same time, building a network of research cooperation with foreign scientists and expanding training programs abroad, so that S&T staff can experience the international academic environment and be trained in activities. international research and development. Along with the well implementation of mechanisms and policies, it is necessary to promote socialization and effectively mobilize investment resources outside the state budget, especially from enterprises for training, retraining and development activities. S&T human resources. Increase mobilization of non-budget investment to develop potentials, especially material and technical foundations of S&T organizations, contributing to improving working conditions for S&T human resources. Thereby, promoting the creative potential of the S&T team, serving the cause of industrialization and modernization of the homeland and the country.

Increase investment in innovation About 36.4% of the total of more than 350,000 enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City have applied science – technology and innovation. Mr. Le Xuan Dinh, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology affirmed that the creative capacity of Ho Chi Minh City represents a very important part of the creative capacity of the nation. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to developing the scientific and technological potential of Ho Chi Minh City in the coming period. From the background of science – technology, will make a change in the quality of economic growth of the City. The background of science and technology is reflected in the number of human resources participating in this field, the level of investment in scientific research and innovation activities in businesses and the startup community. If 5 years ago, the concept of start-up and start-up was new, now, this community is growing rapidly in both quantity and quality. Deputy Minister Le Xuan Dinh assessed that Ho Chi Minh City is a pioneer in the country in the start-up movement. According to data from the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, in the past 5 years, Ho Chi Minh City has become the cradle of direct and indirect support for nearly 1,840 start-up projects in the stages of product completion, completion Adjusting business models, connecting domestic and foreign markets, providing financial advice, developing startup ideas, etc. Along with that, more than 1,000 events were held in the area to connect individuals, organizations, and innovative start-ups with experts, advisors, investment funds and markets through forums. forums, conferences/workshops… “The ecosystem supporting innovation startups in Ho Chi Minh City is the most comprehensively developed in Vietnam, with all components. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to invest and develop this community further”, emphasized Deputy Minister Le Xuan Dinh. Science Development Fund can invest in start-ups Ho Chi Minh City has set a target that by the end of 2025, it will support to improve innovation capacity for 3,000 businesses; support incubating and developing 1,000 innovative start-up projects; supporting the development of 100 innovative start-ups to access venture capital. However, HCMC only supports incubators and events; Direct support activities for start-ups are limited in both direct funding and tax policy. In addition to the start-up group, the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises to set up funds for science and technology development also needs to be increased. Science and technology development fund is a fund set up by enterprises to invest in scientific research and technological development. This fund is often used to build laboratories; purchase machinery and equipment for research and development (R&D); buy technology copyrights, industrial designs… According to the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, as of October 2020, in Ho Chi Minh City, only 121 enterprises have set aside a fund for science and technology development with a total amount of more than VND 4,400 billion. . These numbers need to be increased. Leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology said that in the coming time, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance will finalize regulations on the use of science and technology development funds in enterprises. Currently, enterprises often use science and technology development funds to conduct R&D activities, while this fund needs to be used for all activities to support innovation, businesses can use this fund to invest. for start-ups. Therefore, perfecting the regulations on the use of science and technology development funds is also one of the solutions to promote startups.

Again, Russia intends to withdraw from the ISS project after 2025. By then, Moscow plans to build its own orbital station for the purposes of scientific research. Previously, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Mr. Yuri Borisov said that the situation related to the “aging” of the ISS structure could lead to dire consequences. So Russia should create an alternative to the current project as soon as possible and not leave the astronauts at risk. In addition, Borisov added that the national orbital station in the future could become “high orbit” (located above the ISS), not only used for scientific research but also acting as a “transit base” in the mission to conquer the Moon. Russia will use the ISS international space station’s energy supply module for its future space facility As for the Science and Energy module, work on creating it started in 2012. As planned, by 2015 the device is expected to ensure energy independence for the Russian subdivision on the ISS. . However at that time only the draft design of the device was ready. NEM’s ground tests only really begin in 2018. While its launch is being delayed, Russian scientists will have to be more active in the near future as time is on. increasingly hurry. It should be noted that in addition to the NEM that will become the main module, according to Dmitry Rogozin, two permanent working modules named “Nauca” and “Prichal” could become part of the space station in the future, both modules will sent to the ISS this year.

Returning to the unit after this year’s Nguyen Phan Vinh Award ceremony, Captain Lam Anh Vu, Technical Assistant, Technical Division, Regiment 351 (Naval Region 3) could not hide his excitement and pride: ” When I heard the news of winning the A prize, I was very happy. We cherished, researched the initiative “Automatic source switching system ATS” to overcome difficulties in the working process at the unit “. According to him, with the characteristics of a technical unit with radar weapons, information operating continuously day and night, there are times when the source station staff cannot be present in time to turn on the switch. for the operation of the unit when an emergency occurs. Although the unit is equipped with a power transfer device, it is difficult to master and when damaged, the repair cost is very high. Over time, old equipment begins to fail, and some features no longer meet job requirements. Stemming from the above situation, Lam Anh Vu has researched and produced “Automatic ATS switching system” on the basis of utilizing ray motors of the old system. This system has simple connection, installation and repair diagrams, in accordance with the requirements of the unit, helping the team quickly grasp and master the equipment. The young officer of the Naval Regional Technical Assurance Center 2 presents the initiative of a torpedo group firing practice. This year, the Naval Region 3 has 12 topics and initiatives to win the X Nguyen Phan Vinh Prize, including 1 prize A, 4 B prizes, 7 C prizes and 1 consolation prize. To achieve this result, every year, the party committees and commanders of agencies and units throughout the region have focused on propaganda, mobilization, attention and encouragement to arouse the spirit of creativity and awareness. responsibility of cadres, soldiers, especially young ones in participating in researching initiatives, improving techniques, bringing practical effects to the unit. Naval Region 3 is one of the typical examples of the attractiveness and spread of the Nguyen Phan Vinh Prize. According to Rear Adm. Dang Minh Hai, Deputy Political Commissar of the Navy, Chairman of the Prize Council Nguyen Phan Vinh, the award is a meaningful playground, promoting the creativity of the Navy youth. Over the past time, agencies and units in the military service have paid attention and created the best conditions to attract more and more cadres, union members and young people. Through that, discovering and fostering young talents; Encourage and encourage the contingent of young scientific staff, union members and young people to promote their capacities, intelligence, overcome difficulties, be passionate about exploration and creativity. One of the outstanding marks of the award is that the leaders, commanders of agencies, units and corps in the entire army have correctly perceived, clearly defined purpose, meaning and role, and creativity. of youth as well as the creative youth movement. The Nguyen Phan Vinh Awards are regularly propagated widely in the units. Participating in the 10th Nguyen Phan Vinh Prize this year, there are 90 collectives and individuals with 10 topics and 80 initiatives. Many topics and initiatives have been effectively applied in practice, contributing to improving the quality of training, being ready to fight, mastering of technical weapons and equipment, labor, production, benefiting many units. billions dong. The award of Nguyen Phan Vinh for the youth of the Navy is also confirmed in the creative playground of the youth of the army. In the past year alone, the army’s youth had 34 topics and initiatives to participate in the 20th Army’s Creative Youth Award and won 1 first prize, 3 second prizes, 4 third prizes, 8 consolation prizes. The works winning first, second, and third prizes have been applied in practice, bringing efficiency in training and combat readiness of the unit. Typically, the research works of Region 2 Navy; Naval Academy; Department of Technical Service of the Military …
