Illustration. Internet source Specifically, on May 11, there was an incident on the S6 segment of the APG (Asia Pacific Gateway) undersea cable line. The system has mobilized ships and started repairing the above incident from June 6 and is expected to be completed tomorrow, June 11; However, during the repair, it disrupts all services to and from Hong Kong – China, so it affects network operators in Vietnam participating in APG project investment. On May 25, the AAE-1 (Asia Africa Europe – 1) cable route had a fiber break on the FP10 pair of the S1H.1 segment (about 2,072 miles from the Cape D’Aguilar landing station, Hong Kong – China. km towards Vung Tau-Vietnam). The incident on this route caused a small part of the service interruption of the domestic carrier in the route to Hong Kong – China. International partners are expected to troubleshoot the S1H.1 segment from June 22 to July 13, 2021. Incidents on two undersea fiber optic cables have a common effect on all network operators and internet service providers in Vietnam. To overcome, on the afternoon of June 10, a representative of Viettel Group said that when a problem occurred, Viettel immediately implemented a routing plan, optimized, and added capacity (including backup capacity) on the network. other undersea cable routes are TGN-IA (towards Hong Kong – China and Singapore) and APG (towards Singapore), AAE-1 (towards France) as well as preparing land cable resources for international connection. to ensure quality service to customers. In case customers have difficulty accessing, please contact Viettel via switchboard 18008119 to find out the exact cause and provide the fastest support. A representative of VNPT said that immediately after the above incident, VNPT carried out load balancing, redirected connections to other undersea cable routes as well as a number of land cables to ensure the quality of services provided to them. customer. “We navigate and load other cable directions that are operating stably such as CSC, AAG, IA, SMW3”, a VNPT representative said. According to CMC Telecom, this unit has also increased capacity through the cable direction across Southeast Asia (A-Grid), connecting the internet from Vietnam to Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore to ensure supply. provide stable service to customers during the incident as well as the process of repairing and overcoming…

Digitalization empowers food safety risk management and control. Since 2020, Nanhai District has been continuously optimizing and accelerating the layout. The construction of the food safety risk detection and early warning system has progressed as scheduled, and the detection data has been uploaded and monitored in real time.

Since the launch of the food safety risk detection and early warning system on September 23, 2020, as of March 28, 2021, a total of 450,694 batches of rapid inspection data have been generated and collected, of which 4834 batches of positive suspicious samples were detected, with a suspicious rate of 1.1 %. 19.7 tons of edible agricultural products involving positive batches have all been initiated follow-up disposal mechanisms for harmless treatment and traceability, effectively ensuring the safety of the people’s tongue.

Big data empowers to realize food safety risk management and control in advance

“Food safety” is a core topic of concern to the whole society, and governments at all levels are under “pressure”. The quality and safety of agricultural products and food still have problems such as “difficult supervision, difficult law enforcement, and disorderly competition in the market”.

Focus on Nanhai District. At present, Nanhai District invests millions of financial funds for food sampling inspection every year. A large amount of result data is obtained in daily work. If these data can be used reasonably, centralized evaluation and analysis and unified forecasting and judgment can be carried out. Realize the early warning of food safety risks, and then realize the risk management and control in advance.

Therefore, in order to enhance the effectiveness of food safety supervision, maximize supervision efficiency, optimize supervision costs, and improve the level of food safety in Nanhai District, the Nanhai District Market Supervision Administration has innovated work ideas, proposed big data development concepts, and introduced food safety risk detection in Nanhai District. The early warning system does practical things for the masses.

It is understood that the system conducts centralized evaluation, analysis and unified prediction and judgment on a large amount of random inspection data generated in daily edible agricultural products quick inspection and food supervision and random inspection, establishes a risk assessment management system, and realizes risk early warning and forecasting and pre-control functions.

Currently, the system collects about 4,000 test data every day. The data comes from the 618 edible agricultural products rapid testing points that have been established in Nanhai District, covering farmer’s markets, primary and secondary schools, government agencies, catering centers, hospitals, supermarkets, etc. The detection points are equipped with new pesticide residue detectors, and all pesticide residue fast detectors realize the direct upload of detection results and process data.

The intelligent system uses big data analysis technology to issue early warnings to companies that fail to conduct pesticide residue detection on time and in accordance with the amount, and issue risk warnings to high-risk vegetable varieties and vegetable supply companies.

It is worth mentioning that the system’s early warning and hierarchical disposal mechanism automatically pushes risk warning information to the corresponding supervisors through mobile phone WeChat, SMS and computer terminals, and supervisors activate the corresponding disposal mechanism according to the actual situation. For edible agricultural products that fail to pass the inspection at each inspection point, they shall be removed from the shelves and destroyed in strict accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. Depending on the discovery of unqualified products, it will initiate traceability joint law enforcement, promptly issue consumer warnings, and list the product or supplier as a key subject of supervision, and carry out relevant investigations to prevent risks.

Continuously optimize and upgrade to ensure the safety of the people’s tongue

Now, when you walk into all the farmer’s markets in Nanhai District, you can see that the market has a testing room. The staff will conduct a quick inspection of the agricultural products on sale in the testing room every morning.

The testing room is also equipped with a pesticide residue rapid detector, which can detect the result data of pesticide residues in just 15 minutes. The detection data has been seamlessly connected to the Nanhai District Food Safety Risk Detection and Early Warning System in real time, and the data will be uploaded to the District Data Coordination Bureau. Through in-depth analysis of food inspection data in the whole district, the regulatory authorities can intuitively understand the high and frequent risks of food safety in different regions and various fields, and formulate relevant policies in a timely manner to make supervision more targeted and efficient, thereby establishing a region The long-term food safety supervision mechanism effectively guarantees “safety on the tip of the tongue.”

Specifically, the first is to promote comprehensively around the “four bases (machines)”. That is, fund + base + institution + mechanism: one is the fund. The source of input is “district and town government + unit + enterprise”, which ensures the normal operation of the project. The second is the base, which is 1+1000, “1” is the regional bureau headquarters system, and “1000” is the construction of 1,000 inspection points. At present, there are 618 rapid inspection points in use, and the target number is 1,000 by the end of this year. The third is the organization, the establishment of district and town leadership structures and work teams, and the establishment of inspection teams, training and guidance teams, and supervision teams respectively. The fourth is the mechanism to establish a series of working mechanisms, such as the positive handling mechanism of the district and township market supervision and management system, the inspector training and education reward mechanism, and the district bureau’s supervision mechanism (verification and spot check mechanism) over the supervision offices, construction sites, and institutions. )Wait.

The second is to improve the level of data analysis. In terms of the implementation of quick inspection and quick processing, the system generates about 3,600 batches of quick inspection data for edible agricultural products every day. Since the new system was launched on September 23, 2020 to March 28, 2021, a total of 450,694 batches of quick inspection data have been generated and collected. Among them, 4834 batches of positive suspicious samples were detected, with a suspicious rate of 1.1%, and 19.7 tons of edible agricultural products involving positive batches. The follow-up disposal mechanism has been activated for harmless treatment and traceability.

In terms of building the legal inspection database, the current legal inspection data import module in the system has been tested, and the data import is in progress. For the newly generated legal inspection data, it is planned to update once a month; for the past data, it will be gradually collected from near to far in time. At the same time, the legal inspection data will be classified and summarized and the analysis module debugging and analysis will be carried out to extract high risks. Industry, high-risk product information.

Food safety affects thousands of households. In the future, Nanhai District plans to add 382 quick inspection points based on the original 618 quick inspection points for edible agricultural products. By the end of 2021, the total will increase to 1,000, covering all the agricultural markets in the district, most schools, nurseries, and institutions. Unit canteens, some key catering companies, food material distribution associations and supermarkets, etc., continue to optimize the food safety risk detection and early warning system. Through in-depth analysis of the quality detection data of edible agricultural products in the whole district, we can understand the high incidence and frequency of food safety in different regions and various fields. Where the risks are, timely formulation of relevant policies to make supervision more targeted and efficient, so as to establish a long-term monitoring mechanism for regional food safety, open up a new situation in the food safety supervision work in the South China Sea, and effectively guarantee the safety of the people’s tongue.

This huge tender is to supply hundreds of active defense systems. It is unclear whether Israeli companies will participate in the competition.

The picture shows the Russian T-90A tank with the “Curtain-1” active defense system on the front

The Israeli “Trophy” active defense system on the US Army M1A2C. “Trophy” is the leading product of Israel’s active defense system.

The Indian Army has invited companies to provide 818 active defense systems for its T-90/SK main battle tank. The military clearly stated in the document that 50% of the system planning and development must cooperate with local industries and will allow potential suppliers to “reach arrangements” with foreign companies on equipment development.

According to Jane’s website, Indian regulations require defense systems to include “soft kill” and “hard kill” capabilities. “Soft kill” includes smoke release, infrared jamming devices, and audio-visual warnings when tanks are attacked. “Hard kills” include (intercept) rocket-assisted grenades (RPG-7), anti-tank missiles, and explosive anti-tank bombs (HEAT, also known as armor-piercing bombs) and other anti-tank ammunition. The system should include defense against kinetic energy ammunition.

India’s own T-90 is not equipped with an active defense system, but is supplemented with explosive reactive armor. The small piece on the right of the turret prevents the driver from getting on and off the vehicle. In the tank two items, Russia’s own competition T-72 page such.

This competing T-72B3 removed a piece of explosive reaction armor on the right side of the turret to facilitate the driver to get off the car quickly.

To be honest, the early “Curtain-1” active defense system had poor effect, high power consumption, and could not interfere with more advanced or upgraded missiles (such as the Red Arrow-73C/D missile with a TV CCD goniometer) , It is expected that two useless “red eyes” will occupy the defensive position in vain. It is better to dismantle and replace it with explosive reactive armor. When India just bought the T-90S tank, this choice was no problem.

However, with the continuous advancement of offensive and defensive technology, the active defense system of tanks has continued to mature, and the pressure on anti-tank missiles faced by India is also increasing, and traditional tank armor hard defense alone cannot prevent it.

Due to the size of the country, the number of armored forces in Pakistan is far less than that of India. Therefore, it has chosen to purchase a large number of anti-tank missiles, including Pakistan’s authorized production version of “Red Arrow-8” anti-tank missile “Green Arrow” (Baktar-Shikan, literally translated in fact) It does not mean “Green Arrow”) and the US-made “Tao” anti-tank missile.

Pakistan has produced a large number of “Green Arrow” anti-tank missiles. As of 2015, the total number of production has reached at least more than 22,000. The production has not stopped. Not only is it more than sufficient to equip the entire Pakistani army, but it can also be exported. In the frontline areas of the confrontation between India and Pakistan, Pakistan often uses “green arrows” to attack Indian military bunkers and conduct “cold guns and guns” operations.

This situation is very common at the India-Pakistan border

In addition, Pakistan has more than 4,000 “Tao” anti-tank missiles. It should be said that the Pakistan Army’s anti-tank missile firepower is still very sufficient. Although both models are second-generation/second-generation semi-anti-tank missiles, they are also sufficient for India. The T-90S poses a threat.

In addition, Pakistan is likely to purchase more advanced anti-tank missiles, such as the Red Arrow-12. It is not impossible to use hard armor for this kind of top offensive anti-tank missile, but the accumulation of a large amount of explosive reaction armor on the roof will cause the weight of the tank to increase significantly and affect the layout of the equipment. It is more cost-effective to use an active defense system.

And the firepower of another imaginary enemy anti-tank missile in India…does it need to say more?

Not only has a long range, but its power is currently beyond the armor of any main battle tank.

Indian tanks have to face the threat of a large number of anti-tank missiles, so active defense systems must be considered.

At the same time, compared with the early days, after technical iteration and actual combat experience and lessons, the active defense system of the tank has now made considerable progress, and its performance has been greatly improved. It not only has a good interception effect on anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles, which are low-speed armor-piercing weapons, but can even intercept kinetic energy ammunition fired by tank guns to a certain extent, but the interception rate is not as high for low-speed targets.

There is even discussion about whether the future main battle tank can completely delegate the task of defending armor-piercing ammunition to the active defense system. The main armor of the tank only needs to consider the defense of armor-piercing ammunition.

Therefore, it is justified for India to purchase an active defense system now, and wait until it is ripe before picking the fruit.

India currently has two better options.

One is Israel’s “trophies” system, which is currently one of the best-selling active defense systems in the world. In addition to the United States mentioned above, Germany has also purchased a batch of Leopard 2A7 tanks and Israel’s own Merkava tanks. It is also widely equipped. Moreover, the “trophies” system has been tested in actual combat. Israeli tanks equipped with the “trophies” system intercepted more than 300 missiles and RPG rockets. It can be said that the Trophy Active Defense System is the world’s first active defense system that has been tested in actual combat, which has greatly reduced the casualties of the Israeli army.

On February 22, 2021, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced an intergovernmental agreement with the German Ministry of Defense. The German Leopard 2A7 tank was equipped with the Israeli Rafael Company’s “Trophy” active defense system.

The other is Russia’s “Afghanistan” stone system, which is Russia’s latest active defense system. Used on the T-90M and T-14 “Amata” tanks, Russia is very confident in its performance, and even on the T-14 “Amata” tank, it has partially achieved the above-mentioned “completely smashing defenses.” The task of ammunition is handed over to the active defense system”-the turret of the T-14 “Amata” tank is a shell that can defend against shrapnel and small-caliber weapons, and the defense depends entirely on the “Afghan stone” system.

The “Afghan Stone” system on the “Amata” tank

Moreover, India has confirmed that the T-90MS purchased by India, that is, the foreign trade model of T-90M (in fact, foreign trade came out first) has the “Afghan Stone” system, which shows that it has good compatibility with the T-90 series, and Russia can be used as The upgrade kit is sold to Indians.

The two “black spots” on both sides of the T-90MS tank turret are the radar of the active defense system.

However, the installation of the active defense system is not the same as building blocks. It requires a lot of other work, such as an independent power supply system (this is especially important, the M1A2 tank installs an independent generator for the’trophy’ system), installation angle and walking Line problems and so on.

India’s bidding will definitely attract various manufacturers, including Israel and Russia, to participate in the bidding. India may delay and may spend a lot of money, but it will definitely purchase.

Pakistan and his “weapon outfit providers” also need similar equipment.

GL5 active defense system

Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen spoke at the meeting. According to the report of Dong Thap Provincial People’s Committee, the province currently has 5 concentrated medical isolation zones, capable of receiving about 860 people. As of April 19, Dong Thap received nearly 3,000 experts and citizens who entered the locality, of which more than 1,900 people entered from the border gate. All cases of concentrated isolation were sampled and tested twice as prescribed; There were 5 cases positive for SARS-CoV-2. The representative of Cho Ray Hospital said that it is necessary to have screening in medical units to reduce cross-transmission in medical facilities. Mr. Tran Van Lap, Deputy Director of the Provincial Health Department, Dong Thap has vaccinated Astra Zeneca for COVID-19, phase 1 for 391 medical staff at Hong Ngu Regional General Hospital, the remote area. from Hong Ngu district, Hong Ngu city medical center, Disease Control Center, Sa Dec city medical center and Sa Dec General Hospital, reaching 89.3%. The Department of Health has developed a plan to receive, preserve, distribute and use the Astra Zeneca vaccine to prevent COVID-19 phase 2, the expected time to deploy the injection from April 26-29 with the target groups of the group. 1,2,3 and 4 (teachers of 3 border districts) according to Resolution 21 / NQ-CP. Deputy Director of the Department of Health of the province added that Dong Thap has a border of more than 50 km, bordering Cambodia with seven border gates, including two international ones, Thuong Phuoc, Dinh Ba and trails, openings. Waterways, therefore, the province faces many difficulties in the reception and management of incoming objects. In addition, facilities in some concentrated isolated areas of the province are not yet qualified; There is no hotel that has been quarantined for foreign experts and business people. In addition, medical units have difficulty in statistics of who vaccinated against COVID-19 … Dong Thap Border Guard Command informed about the border situation. Through field survey, isolation inspection at Giong Gang Military Medical Clinic (Tan Hong district), medical declaration work at Thuong Phuoc international border gate (Hong Ngu district), the mission pay attention to epidemiological surveillance, pay attention to environmental sanitation issues in the quarantine area; the process of guiding people to trade, exchange goods in border areas, screening in medical units to reduce cross-transmission in medical facilities … Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen shared the province’s difficulties in controlling the border; At the same time, it is suggested that Dong Thap should strictly manage the border line, especially the open-way trail, complicated cases due to the characteristics of population interference in the border area; strictly deal with cases of illegal entry and exit, especially those who organize illegal entry; good management of vehicles, drivers transporting goods to and from border gates. The anti-epidemic activities at the border gates must be carried out under the inter-agency coordination, in which the province actively chooses the unit to act as the head of the committee to be the focal point for information, leadership, direction … , the provincial authorities need to launch a movement of people in the border areas to discover cases of illegal entry; establishing community anti-epidemic groups. The scene of the meeting. Regarding the COVID-19 vaccination, the Deputy Minister of Health suggested Dong Thap should ensure safety in vaccination; strengthen propaganda. When there are reactions after the injection, the professional evaluation council of the province should immediately assess and analyze the cause of the reactions. The Deputy Minister of Health also recommended that the concentrated isolates should strictly comply with regulations on operation, operation, organization, safety and prevention regulations … In testing for SARS -CoV-2, treating patients COVID-19, Dong Thap needs to proactively choose the sites to be built into a field hospital based on available medical facilities, develop facility projects, and human resources. sieving to be put into operation, operating when required; comply with the principles of fast tracing, narrow area zoning, focus on wide area testing when cases occur, comply with indications and regulations on testing, screening, and increase testing capacity.

The first phase of PUB’s smart water meter program will be completed in 2023. (Source: PUB) According to the Vietnam News Agency reporter in Singapore, from the beginning of 2022, Singapore will install 300,000 for free Smart water meter The first for homes, commercial and industrial buildings at 7 sites is the new residential properties. This is part of the plan digitizing water system Country of the Lion Island. National Water Authority Singapore PUB said these watches use digital technology to track water usage and water leaks. The first phase of the smart water meter program is scheduled to be completed by 2023. With the new engine, PUB can automatically access the speedometer without needing a lot of manual reading, which is now done every two months. Besides, in conjunction with the customer portal, users will be able to track leaks and high water usage in real time. A pilot test conducted on 800 households in Punggol and Yuhua in 2016 and 2018 found that about 10% of them experienced a water leak that often goes unnoticed until they receive a bill. water bill is higher than normal. With smart meters, these households have saved about 5% of costs by detecting early leaks and adopting water saving habits. Public water supply network director Mr. Ridzuan Ismail said: “In the context of increasing water demand and the challenges posed by climate change to water resources, we are also constantly challenged in finding more efficient ways to supply water and save water, to protect water security. ” The project is estimated to be worth SGD 123.7 million. SP Services Company – a subsidiary of the government-owned SP Group – will be responsible for the supply and installation of smart meters and supporting infrastructure, as well as for their operation and maintenance for 15 years. year. Mr. Stanley Huang, CEO of SP Group, said the deployment of smart water metering system for Singapore is built on the Group’s achievements in setting up and operating smart electric metering systems across the island. As of March 31, SP Group has installed more than 500,000 smart electric meters nationwide and plans to complete installation for all 1.4 million households by 2024./.
