Corporate social responsibility and green supply chain management are sustainable strategies that all enterprises always aim to improve firm performance and sustainable development. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of social responsibility on green supply chain management and performance of Vietnamese construction enterprises. The study collected data of Vietnamese construction enterprises through online and in-person surveys, then analyzed the data using Smart PLS software. The results show that social responsibility has a positive and statistically significant impact on green supply chain management and performance of construction enterprises on all three aspects of economy, society and environment. However, green supply chain management only has a statistically significant impact on environmental performance. From there, it shows that businesses should implement social responsibility and participate in green supply chains and practice green supply chain management to improve business efficiency and sustainable development.

In order to serve coaching and combat readiness in the new situations, in recent years, our Army has been invested and equipped with many innovative and modern weapons and armaments. Many types of them are placed on military vehicles which have peculiar sizes, loads and dynamic characteristics. Therefore, military ways whould have been designed separate geometric elements, especially in the difficult conditions: craggy terrain conditions, or on military routes that are quickly built without pavement. In this article, the authors studied the theoretical basis and applied it to build dynamic factor diagrams of some special military vehicles by analytically method as a basis of offering the maximum longitudinal grade for specific military roads of the Vietnam People’s Army.

In this study, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on an octahedral cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanostructure to probe methylene blue (MB) molecules as an analyte chemical has been implemented. Octahedral Cu2O nanocrystals were synthesized by a novel hydrothermal process using only ethylene glycol as both a reductant and organic solvent. The characteristics of Cu2O nanocrystals were well recognized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanism of the SERS surface has been thoroughly investigated and has been shown to involve the contributions of both surface plasmon resonance and charge transfer effects. Using a simple collection rule for SERS bands, the portion of charge transfer processes was estimated to be about 46%.

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of blanching regimes at the salt concentration and drying temperature using Sasaki heat pump drying technology on the quality of dried bamboo shoots to create a product that can be kept color, flavour, and quality. Fresh bamboo shoots were cut into slices with a thickness of 6 mm, boiled in hot saltwater at 100oC at different concentrations (0, 1, 3, 5%) for 15 minutes. Then, they were dried in the temperature setting differences (30, 40, 50oC) by Sasaki dryers and tested for moisture, color, cyanide content, microorganisms, water compensation capacity, and product sensory quality. Fresh bamboo shoots were boiled in hot saltwater at 100oC, 3% salt concentration for 15 minutes, and dried at 40oC by Sasaki drier for the best quality. This treatment mode provides the lowest color variation and the best water compensation compared to other treatment modes. Dried bamboo shoots are bright yellow, uniform color, characteristic odour, toughness with little deformation, low cyanide content, and microbiological content below the threshold of food hygiene and safety.

Silver nanodecahedra and nanoplates were successfully fabricated using a simple solution method, where silver nitrate (AgNO3) was reduced with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) at melting ice temperature. Green light-emitting diode (green LED, wavelength λG = 520 nm) was irradiated into the reaction system to control the morphology of the product. The synthetic procedure was a combination of two processes including the formation of silver seeds and subsequent photomediated crystal growth. This article also presents a mechanism study of the photomediated growth of silver nanoplates and nanodecahedra. In these processes, citrate ions were used as a morphology-controlled reagent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a capping agent. The growth process was evaluated by dynamic light scattering and ultraviolet/visible spectra measurements. The obtained silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possessed various shapes, including triangular, truncated triangular, hexagonal and decahedron depending on the time duration of LED irradiation. Triangular nanoplates or decahedral nanoparticles (80–100 nm) were obtained when the silver colloid was exposed to green LED irradiation for different times (30 min—76 h). The average width and thickness of such nanoparticles were estimated to be approximately 80 nm and 20 nm, respectively. The technology uniqueness in this work is that we can change the morphology of silver from plate to decahedron via prolonging the LED illumination period from 140 min to 76 h instead of changing the light wavelength or temperature of the reaction solution. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiment was carried out to measure Rhodamine 6G (R6G) concentrations plated on the silicon substrates. Silver nanodecahedra can detect the low concentration of R6G (10−8 M), while silver nanoplates can detect a higher R6G concentration of 10−6 M. Silver nanodecahedra could be used as an effective SERS substrate for ultrasensitive detection.

Background: Fluid flow in microchannels is restricted to low Reynolds number regimes and hence inducing chaotic mixing in such devices is a major challenge. Over the years, the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) has proved its ability in handling complex fluid-structure interaction problems. Objectives: Inspired by recent patents in microchannel mixing devices, we study passive mixing effects by performing two-dimensional numerical simulations of wavy wall in channel flow using IBM. Methods: The continuity and Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow are solved by fractional step based finite volume method on a staggered Cartesian grid system. Fluid variables are described by Eulerian coordinates and solid boundary by Lagrangian coordinates. A four-point Dirac delta function is used to couple both the coordinate variables. A momentum forcing term is added to the governing equation in order to impose the no-slip boundary condition between the wavy wall and fluid interface. Results: Parametric study is carried out to analyze the fluid flow characteristics by varying amplitude and wavelength of wavy wall configurations for different Reynolds number. Conclusion: Configurations of wavy wall microchannels having a higher amplitude and lower wavelengths show optimum results for mixing applications.

Meta-analyses suggest that yogurt consumption reduces type 2 diabetes incidence in humans, but the molecular basis of these observations remains unknown. Here we show that dietary yogurt intake preserves whole-body glucose homeostasis and prevents hepatic insulin resistance and liver steatosis in a dietary mouse model of obesity-linked type 2 diabetes. Fecal microbiota transplantation studies reveal that these effects are partly linked to the gut microbiota. We further show that yogurt intake impacts the hepatic metabolome, notably maintaining the levels of branched chain hydroxy acids (BCHA) which correlate with improved metabolic parameters. These metabolites are generated upon milk fermentation and concentrated in yogurt. Remarkably, diet-induced obesity reduces plasma and tissue BCHA levels, and this is partly prevented by dietary yogurt intake. We further show that BCHA improve insulin action on glucose metabolism in liver and muscle cells, identifying BCHA as cell-autonomous metabolic regulators and potential mediators of yogurt’s health effects.

Nowadays, a number of machine learning prediction methods are being applied in the field of landslide susceptibility modeling of the large area especially in the difficult hilly terrain. In the present study, hybrid machine learning approaches of Reduced Error Pruning Trees (REPT) and different ensemble techniques were used for the construction of four novel hybrid models namely Bagging based Reduced Error Pruning Trees (BREPT), MultiBoost based Reduced Error Pruning Trees (MBREPT), Rotation Forest-based Reduced Error Pruning Trees (RFREPT), Random Subspace-based Reduced Error Pruning Trees (RSREPT) for landslide susceptibility assessment and prediction. In total, ten topographical and geo-environmental landslide conditioning factors were considered for analyzing their spatial relationship with landslide occurrences. Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, Statistical Indexes, and Root Mean Square Error methods were used to validate performance of these models. Analysis of model results indicate that the BREPT is the best model for landslide susceptibility assessment in comparison to other models.

International audience; The [Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl] catalyst pioneered by Lehn for the two-electron reduction of CO2 has constantly revealed unique facets in the mechanistic understanding of the selective transformation of CO2. A novel triazole-linked ruthenium photosensitizer and a rhenium catalyst dyad was synthesized and investigated for photo-induced charge accumulation using time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. The triazole bridging ligand promoted weak electronic communication between the two units, resulting in an anodic shift of the reduction potentials of the Re moiety. Upon excitation of the photosensitizer, the first reduction of the catalyst occurred with a fast apparent rate of >5×107 s−1. Using a double-excitation nanosecond pump-pump-probe setup to track the second electron accumulation on the catalytic unit was not conclusive as no observable absorption changes occurred upon the second excitation, suggesting a pathway for an efficient intramolecular reverse electron transfer preventing the two-electron accumulation at the catalyst under our experimental conditions. Nevertheless, under continuous irradiation and with the use of sacrificial electron donors, photocatalytic CO2 reduction assays showed good turnover numbers, hinting at the non-innocent role of byproducts in solution.

The effectiveness of restoring the body function status of 30 Vietnamese military pilots flying Su-30 aircraft has been evaluated by biofeedback training method. The pilots were trained by 7 exercises on the system Reacor. The recoverable ability of the pilot's body function status was assessed through changes of cardiac function index and the results of psychophysical tests using Ritm-Met and UPFT-1/30 systems. The results showed that the body function status of the military pilots after training was improved with the enhancing of cardiac function index and reducing of stress index: Hildebrandt index decreased from 4.6±0.8 to 4.2±0.6 and Tension index of the regulatory systems (TI) decreased from 78.4±2.5 to 75.3±1.2. In addition, the functional state of the sensory organ systems under the control of the central nervous system of the pilots after training was also improved, expressed by the reduction of the percentage of false reflexes in the test "Simple visual reflex" (from 1.41±0.3 to 1.3±0.3%), increasing the percentage of target hits in the "Reflex with moving target" test (from 24.8±5.5 to 31.4±4.6%) and reduced the fatigue index when performing typping tests (from 82.7±4.5 to 79.8±6.1).

International audience; A new donor–acceptor dyad composed of a BODIPY (4,4′-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) donor and a fullerene C60 acceptor has been synthesized and characterized. This derivative has been prepared using a clickable fullerene building block that bears an alkyne moiety and a maleimide unit. The post-functionalization of the maleimide group by a BODIPY thiol leads to a BODIPY-C60 dyad, leaving the alkyne moiety for further functional arrangement. On the basis of the combination of semi-empirical and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, spectroelectrochemical experiments, and steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies, the photophysical properties of this new BODIPY-C60 dyad were thoroughly studied. By using semi-empirical calculations, the equilibrium of three conformations of the BODIPY-C60 dyad has been deduced, and their molecular orbital structures have been analyzed using DFT calculations. Two short fluorescence lifetimes were attributed to two extended conformers displaying variable donor–acceptor distances (17.5 and 20.0 Å). Additionally, the driving force for photoinduced electron transfer from the singlet excited state of BODIPY to the C60 moiety was calculated using redox potentials determined with electrochemical studies. Spectroelectrochemical measurements were also carried out to investigate the absorption profiles of radicals in the BODIPY-C60 dyad in order to assign the transient species in pump–probe experiments. Under selective photoexcitation of the BODIPY moiety, occurrences of both energy and electron transfers were demonstrated for the dyad by femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopies. Photoinduced electron transfer occurs in the folded conformer, while energy transfer is observed in extended conformers.

International audience; Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is the most common genetically inherited risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Many aspects of Lp(a) metabolism remain unknown. We assessed the uptake of fluorescent Lp(a) in primary human lymphocytes as well as Lp(a) hepatic capture in a mouse model in which endogenous hepatocytes have been ablated and replaced with human ones. Modulation of LDLR expression with the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab did not alter the cellular or the hepatic uptake of Lp(a), demonstrating that the LDL receptor is not a major route for Lp(a) plasma clearance. These results have clinical implications because they underpin why statins are not efficient at reducing Lp(a). (C) 2020 The Authors.

This study was aimed to eveluate the reflex characteristics of sound stimuli of radar operators. Ninety radar operators aged between 18 and 48 were studied. The operators were divided into 3 groups of 18÷28 years (n = 50), 29÷38 years (n = 23) and 39÷48 years (n = 17). Same aged soldiers devoted administrative work (subgroups number 12, 8, 10, respectively) treated as control group. Physiological parameters test complex UPFT1/30 (Russian Federation) was used to perform simple auditory motor reflex test. Auditory reflex was measured by average reply time, minimum and maximum reply time, central nervous system activation level and stability of auditory reflex. Auditory reflex was tested twice for every person with 6 month intervals to appreciate the stability of characters measured over the time. Results of motor-audirory reflexes obtained (the average reflection time the level of activation of the central nervous system, the accuracy and stability) in the group of study and control group were within the limits or above the average value settled as standards of the complex used. The average reflection time value obtained for ages 18÷28 years was 177±4 ms - fairly good, for 29÷38 years old ages group were 185±8 and 187±5 ms for rest group for first measurement. In the second test, average reflextion time were 193±4, 201± 8 and 193±6 ms, respectively. The reflection time for both group of study and the control group tended to increase between the two measurements but for general group the difference between subsequential tests were not reach the level of statistically significance, however for most young persons (18÷28 years old) the difference was reliable. The average reflection time increased for this group what may be due to impact of negative factors of professional inveronment. It is the reason to draw more attention to the point of proffecional helth protection.

The study was conducted to evaluate the ability of receiving - processing information through the visual organ to the central nervous system by visual reflexes tests with monochromatic light, color light complexes and moving targets. Participants were 247 workers aged 27 to 57 from two factories manufacturing explosive X and Y. They were divided into 2 groups: one group working in direct contact with chemicals manufacturing explosives (n=158) and the other group working in other workshops that do not come in direct contact with chemicals manufacturing explosives (n=89). Visual reflexes is assessed through criteria: average visual reflex time from light stimulation to reflex (ms), maximum and minimum reflex time (ms), error rate (%), accuracy of reflex (%) and activation speed of the central nervous system. The results showed that the ability of receiving and processing information from the visual organs to the central nervous system of workers at the explosives factory manufacturing was lower than those at other working environment. Although their speed of receiving and processing information, and activation speed of their central nervous system were low, their level of cautiousness and accuracy during manufacturing is high. The group of workers directly exposed to explosive chemicals had high sensitivity and were capable of quick reflex to monochrome light. Their processing speed was slow but their answers of the color light combination were accurate.

Nowadays, Vietnam is known as a developing country with a fast-growing economy. Agriculture is the main traditional sector which plays an important role in Vietnamese economic growth and development. Improving the efficiency of agricultural production towards sustainable development is one of the country&rsquo, s national economic development goals. This study aims to measure the efficiency of the orange farms which have created jobs and improved living standards for people in Tuyen Quang province, Vietnam. A comprehensive literature review, key informant interviews, and a structured questionnaire were applied in this research for data collection. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) model was applied to evaluate the technical, allocative, cost, and scale efficiencies. The main results of this analysis show that the orange farms have high scores for technical and scale efficiencies. On the other hand, the research reveals low levels of cost and allocative efficiencies. This is in line with the fact that though the farms&rsquo, owners have extensive experience in orange cultivation and receive periodic technical training, they still have low levels of education and a lack of economic management expertise. The study results also propose optimal input allocation for the orange farmers. The research could provide crucial information to farms&rsquo, owners, the local government, and agricultural planners for formulating effective strategies to improve agricultural sustainability.

Therapeutic antibodies targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) (e.g. alirocumab) lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels in clinical trials. We recently showed that PCSK9 enhances apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] secretion from primary human hepatocytes but does not affect Lp(a) cellular uptake. Here, we aimed to determine how PCSK9 neutralization modulates Lp(a) levels in vivo. Six nonhuman primates (NHP) were treated with alirocumab or a control antibody (IgG1) in a crossover protocol. After the lowering of lipids reached steady state, NHP received an intravenous injection of [2H3]-leucine, and blood samples were collected sequentially over 48 h. Enrichment of apolipoproteins in [2H3]-leucine was assessed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Kinetic parameters were calculated using numerical models with the SAAMII software. Compared with IgG1, alirocumab significantly reduced total cholesterol (TC) (−28%), LDL-C (−67%), Lp(a) (−56%), apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) (−53%), and apo(a) (−53%). Alirocumab significantly increased the fractional catabolic rate of apoB100 (+29%) but not that of apo(a). Conversely, alirocumab sharply and significantly reduced the production rate (PR) of apo(a) (−42%), but not significantly that of apoB100, compared with IgG1, respectively. In line with the observations made in human hepatocytes, the present kinetic study establishes that PCSK9 neutralization with alirocumab efficiently reduces circulating apoB100 and apo(a) levels by distinct mechanisms: apoB primarily by enhancing its catabolism and apo(a) primarily by lowering its production.

We study the half-filled mass-imbalanced Hubbard model with spatially alternating interactions on an optical bipartite lattice by means of the dynamical mean-field theory. The Mott transition is investigated via the spin-dependent density of states and double occupancies. The phase diagrams for the homogeneous phases at zero temperature are constructed numerically. The boundary between metallic and insulating phases at zero temperature is analytically derived within the dynamical mean field theory using the equation of motion approach as the impurity solver. We found that the metallic region is reduced with increasing interaction anisotropy or mass imbalance. Our results are closely relevant to current researches in ultracold fermion experiments and can be verified through experimental observations.

The quality of herbal drugs is usually controlled using several tests recommended in a monograph. HPTLC is the method of choice for identification in many pharmacopoeias. If combined with a suitable reference material for comparison, HPTLC can provide information beyond identification and thus may simplify quality control. This paper describes, as a proof of concept, how HPTLC can be applied to define specifications for an herbal reference material and to control the quality of an herbal drug according to these specifications. Based on multiple batches of cultivated Angelica gigas root, a specific HPTLC method for identification was optimized. This method can distinguish 27 related species. It also can detect the presence of mixtures of A. gigas with two other Angelica species traded as “Dang gui” and is suitable as well for quantitative assessment of samples in a test for minimum content of the sum of decursin and decursinol angelate. The new concept of “comprehensive HPTLC fingerprinting” is proposed: HPTLC fingerprints (images), which are used for identification, are converted into peak profiles and the intensities of selected zones are quantitatively compared to those of the corresponding zones of the reference material. Following a collaborative trial involving three laboratories in three countries, the method was applied to check the quality of further candidates for establishing an appropriate reference material. In conclusion, this case demonstrates that a single HPTLC analysis can provide information about identity, purity, and minimum content of markers of an herbal drug.

International audience; The worldwide prevalence of metabolic diseases is increasing, and there are global recommendations to limit consumption of certain nutrients, especially saturated lipids. Insulin resistance, a common trait occurring in obesity and type 2 diabetes, is associated with intestinal lipoprotein overproduction. However, the mechanisms by which the intestine develops insulin resistance in response to lipid overload remain unknown. Here, we show that insulin inhibits triglyceride secretion and intestinal microsomal triglyceride transfer protein expression in vivo in healthy mice force-fed monounsaturated fatty acid-rich olive oil but not in mice force-fed saturated fatty acid-rich palm oil. Moreover, when mouse intestine and human Caco-2/TC7 enterocytes were treated with the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid, the insulin-signaling pathway was impaired. We show that palmitic acid or palm oil increases ceramide production in intestinal cells and that treatment with a ceramide analogue partially reproduces the effects of palmitic acid on insulin signaling. In Caco-2/TC7 enterocytes, ceramide effects on insulin-dependent AKT phosphorylation are mediated by protein kinase C but not by protein phosphatase 2A. Finally, inhibiting de novo ceramide synthesis improves the response of palmitic acid-treated Caco-2/TC7 enterocytes to insulin. These results demonstrate that a palmitic acid-ceramide pathway accounts for impaired intestinal insulin sensitivity, which occurs within several hours following initial lipid exposure.

We investigate the Mott metal-insulator transition in the asymmetric Hubbard model, which may describe the ground states of fermionic atoms trapped in optical lattices. We use the dynamical mean-field theory and the equation of motion approach to calculate the density of states at the Fermi level and the double occupation for various values of the on-site interaction U and the hopping asymmetry r. The critical interaction is also obtained as a function of the hopping asymmetry. Our results are in good agreement with the ones obtained by using the dynamical mean field theory with the exact diagonalization and the quantum Monte Carlo techniques.

In this paper, a hierarchy low-power design flow has been proposed. Low-power design techniques for digital ASIC design have been implemented with this proposed flow such as clock gating technique at RTL synthesis stage, multi-threshold voltage and power switching technique at back-end stage for power optimization. These low-power flow and techniques are implemented on an open source RTL of OpenSPARC T1 processor core. Firstly, the core is run synthesis and place-and-route without applying any low-power optimization techniques from front-end to back-end stage. Secondly, the core is completed by using the low-power design techniques. This work is implemented on open 90nm CMOS process with the EDA tools.

SUMMARY To elucidate how the proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor alirocumab modulates lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plasma levels, the authors performed a series of Lp(a) uptake studies in primary human hepatocytes and dermal fibroblasts and measured Lp(a) secretion from human hepatocytes. They found that Lp(a) cellular uptake occurred in a low-density lipoprotein receptor–independent manner. Neither PCSK9 nor alirocumab altered Lp(a) internalization. By contrast, the secretion of apolipoprotein (a) from human hepatocytes was sharply increased by PCSK9, an effect that was reversed by alirocumab. They propose that PCSK9 does not significantly modulate Lp(a) catabolism, but rather enhances the secretion of Lp(a) from liver cells., VISUAL ABSTRACT

Methylviologen (MV2+) is perhaps the most used component as a reversible electron acceptor in photophysical studies. While MV2+ is most commonly implicated as a reversible one-electron mediator, its electrochemical properties clearly evidence two successive one-electron reduction processes. In this report, we have investigated on the light driven two-charge accumulation on MV2+ using a multicomponent system composed of the prototypical molecular photosensitizer [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and MV2+ in the presence of ascorbate as reversible electron donor. The sequential addition of two electrons on the methylviologen was tracked upon sequential excitation of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ at optimized concentration of the electron acceptor. The charge accumulated state carries an energy of 0.9 eV above the ground state and has a lifetime of ca. 50 μs. We have reached a fairly good global yield of approximately 9% for the two-charge accumulation. This result clearly demonstrates the potential of this simple approach for applications i...
