Currently, in the context of accelerating industrialization, modernization and international integration, especially when Vietnam is in the period of the industrial revolution 4.0 (Industry 4.0), the issue of human resources is considered a breakthrough stage, human resource development becomes the foundation for sustainable development and increases the national competitive advantage. With the advantage of being in the golden population period, Vietnam’s human resources today will not only have their own advantages but also have significant challenges in the 4.0 industrial revolution. It should be frankly acknowledged that the training of human resources in recent years has made clear changes, but it has not been as expected and has not met the requirements of the economy. Therefore, the inevitable problem in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is improving the quality of human resource training. The article focuses on analyzing the current situation and solutions to enhance the quality of human resource training in Vietnam to meet the requirements of Industrial Revolution 4.0

In the comprehensive human development policy for people to be full of knowledge, skills, experience and attitude according to the strategy of the CPV and the State at the 9th and 11th Party Congresses, training quality human resources to meet requirements of businesses in the digital era has a significant and important role in terms of both theory and practice. This article research and analyzes the evaluation of learners about human resources training quality to meet requirements of businesses in the digital era at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE). The study results show that, learners evaluate the current training quality in HCMUTE on aspects such as contents of teaching, examination and assessment; learning conditions; qualifications of professional staff; library services; teaching methods of lecturers; foreign language proficiency and communication skills as good and very good; and there are very little comments that disagree.

Background: Estimating the cost of postoperative respiratory complications is crucial in developing appropriate strategies to mitigate the global and national economic burden. However, systematic analysis of the economic burden in low- and middle-income countries is lacking. Methods: We used the nationwide database of the Vietnam Social Insurance agency and extracted data from January 2017 to September 2018. The data contain 1 241 893 surgical patients undergoing one of seven types of surgery. Propensity score matching method was used to match cases with and without complications. We used generalized gamma regressions to estimate the direct medical costs; logistic regressions to evaluate the impact of postoperative respiratory complications on re-hospitalization and outpatient visits. Findings: Postoperative respiratory complications increased the odds of re-hospitalization and outpatient visits by 3·49 times (95% CI: 3·35–3·64) and 1·39 times (95% CI: 1·34–1·45) among surgical patients, respectively. The mean incremental cost associated with postoperative respiratory complications occurring within 30 days of the index admission was 1053·3 USD (95% CI: 940·7–1165·8) per procedure, which was equivalent to 41% of the GDP per capita of Vietnam in 2018. We estimated the national annual incremental cost due to respiratory complications occurring within 30 days after surgery was 13·87 million USD. Pneumonia contributed the greatest part of the annual cost burden of postoperative respiratory complications. Interpretation: The economic burden of postoperative respiratory complications is substantial at both individual and national levels. Postoperative respiratory complications also increase the odds of re-hospitalization and outpatient visits and increase the length of hospital stay among surgical patients.

Stock prediction is to determine the future value of a company stock dealt on an exchange. It plays a crucial role to raise the profit gained by firms and investors. Over the past few years, many methods have been developed in which plenty of efforts focus on the machine learning framework achieving the promising results. In this paper, an approach based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) optimized by Fireworks algorithm and data preprocessing by Haar Wavelet is applied to estimate the stock prices. The system was trained and tested with real data of various companies collected from Yahoo Finance. The obtained results are encouraging.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent preventable complication among surgical patients. Precise risk assessment is a necessary step for providing appropriate thromboprophylaxis and reducing mortality as well as morbidity caused by VTE. We carried out this work to define the rate of VTE postoperatively, following a Caprini score, and to determine VTE risk factors through a modified Caprini risk scoring system. This multicenter, observational, cohort study involved 2,790,027 patients who underwent surgery in four Vietnamese hospitals from 01/2017 to 12/2018. All patients who were evaluated before surgery by using a Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) and monitored within 90 days after surgery. The endpoint of the study was ultrasound-confirmed VTE. Our data showed that the 90-day postoperative VTE was found in 3068 patients. Most of VTE (46.97%) cases were found in the highest risk group (Caprini score > 5). A total of 37.19% were observed in the high risk group, while the rest (15.84%) were from low to moderate risk groups. The likelihood of occurring VTE was heightened 2.83 times for patients with a Caprini score of 3−4, 4.83 times for a Caprini score of 5−6, 8.84 times for a score of 7−8, and 11.42 times for a score of >8, comparing to ones with a score of 0 to 2 (all p values < 0.05). Thus, the frequency of postoperative VTE rises substantially, according to the advanced Caprini score. Further categorizing patients among the highest risk group need delivering more appropriate thromboprophylaxis.

Background: Over the past two decades, health insurance in Vietnam has expanded nationwide. Concurrently, Vietnam's private health sector has developed rapidly and become an increasingly integral part of the health system. To date, however, little is understood regarding the potential for expanding public-private partnerships to improve health care access and outcomes in Vietnam. Objective: To explore possibilities for public-private collaboration in the provision of ambulatory care at the primary level in the Mekong region, Vietnam. Design: We employed a mixed methods research approach. Qualitative methods included focus group discussions with health officials and in-depth interviews with managers of private health facilities. Quantitative methods encompassed facility assessments, and exit surveys of clients at the same private facilities. Results: Discussions with health officials indicated generally favorable attitudes towards partnerships with private providers. Concerns were also voiced, regarding the over- and irrational use of antibiotics, and in terms of limited capacity for regulation, monitoring, and quality assurance. Private facility managers expressed a willingness to collaborate in the provision of ambulatory care, and private providers facilites were relatively well staffed and equipped. The client surveys indicated that 80% of clients first sought treatment at a private facility, even though most lived closer to a public provider. This choice was motivated mainly by perceptions of quality of care. Clients who reported seeking care at both a public and private facility were more satisfied with the latter. Conclusions: Public-private collaboration in the provision of ambulatory care at the primary level in Vietnam has substantial potential for improving access to quality services. We recommend that such collaboration be explored by Vietnamese policy-makers. If implemented, we strongly urge attention to effectively managing such partnerships, establishing a quality assurance system, and strengthening regulatory mechanisms.

Isolated pulmonary involvement in Goodpasture's syndrome is exceptionally described. We report a 36-year-old woman with pulmonary haemorrhage and review 28 additional cases of the literature. In fact, these patients had often mild urine abnormalities and constant glomerular lesions. Antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies testing should be systematically ordered in patients presenting with alveolar haemorrhage. Goodpasture's syndrome without renal abnormality could be an early stage of the disease with a better prognosis.
