Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
This study designs a remote-controlled electric vehicle model that integrates solar energy. Using Arduino for control and Mecanum wheels for omnidirectional movement, the vehicle integrates solar panels to improve performance and extend battery life. Tests are conducted under a variety of conditions, evaluating performance and recommending improvements. The results show positive energy efficiency. In particular, the vehicle can operate for a period of 3 to 4 hours in good weather conditions, but is limited in its ability to operate in low light, which can continue to run for about 2 hours by using a storage battery. According to the experimental results, a vehicle can maintain its stable connection within 15 meters and carry loads up to 3 kilograms. This research contributes to sustainable transportation solutions by integrating solar energy with small-scale electric vehicles, highlighting the potential and challenges for future development.

Dang Nhat Phi, Nguyen Dang Ngoc Han, Do Kim Yen, Nguyen Trong Tri Duc, Trinh Minh Phu
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model for the vehicle routing problem with load window and time constraints (CVRPSTW). The main objective is to minimize transportation costs and simultaneously CO₂ emissions in the supply chain of the Bach Hoa Xanh store system. The model incorporates factors such as route optimization, time constraints and environmental impact considerations. The Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) includes the application of optimization algorithms, specifically the extended ε-Constraint method (AUGMECON) to solve multi-objective problems, and the Euclidean method using empirical data from the store chain to illustrate the feasibility of the model. The model results can significantly reduce operating costs and CO2 emissions. In addition, the Pareto solution is also determined to balance cost and environmental objectives.

Le Thanh Quyen, Vo Quang Minh, Pham Cam Dang
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
The study aims to determine the correlation between soil physical and chemical properties and soil color in Vinh Long province. It utilizes data from the analysis of 50 soil samples, including soil color classification using the Munsell color system and 12 physicochemical soil indicators. The results show that the soils in the study area are highly nutrient-rich, especially in organic matter and nitrogen, with soil hues (Hue) of (2.5Y; 7.5YR; 10YR), lightness (Value) ranging from 2 to 6 at medium to high levels, and chroma (Chroma) mainly at level 1, indicating dark-colored soils. Linear correlation analysis identified 17 pairs of soil properties that correlate with soil color, including % Sand, % Silt, % Clay, pH(H₂O), pH(KCl), and organic matter content (OM), with the highest correlation found between OM and Value at a Hue of 10YR. These correlations can help predict certain soil properties based on soil color data, thereby reducing analysis costs and time. However, soil color is often influenced by other factors such as moisture, soil texture, organic matter content, light source, and accuracy in color matching.

Phan Xuan Loi, Kim Lavane
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
This study was conducted to assess the potential of the venturi tube for dissolved oxygen supply into the wastewater. The experiments were carried out by two independent aeration types, including a venturi two nozzle-tube and air compressor-porous air stone systems. DO concentration was measured over time in the water tank and theoretical oxygen transfer rate was calculated. After 240 minutes of operation, the venturi tube-ejector model resulted in a DO concentration from nearly 0 mg/L up to over 8.1 mg/L at the central of the tank and 7.3 mg/L at the surrounding measured points, which is higher than that of the air compressor-porous air stone. In addition, the oxygen transmission coefficient Kla20max reaches 4.23 and (SOTR-the standard oxygen transfer rate)max was 1.1x10-2 kgO2/h of using the venturi device to suck the air and supply it to water through a nozzle. This study shows that the venturi two nozzle-tube system was better in supplying dissolved oxygen compared to the air compressor-porous air stone system in wastewater.

Chemical and physical characteristics of chitosan, biochar, and chitosan - biochar composite materials and their application in treating methyl orange in solution

Do Thi My Phuong, Le Chi Mai, Nguyen Xuan Loc
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
This study compares the surface properties and chemical composition of three materials: chitosan from shrimp shells, biochar from rice husks, and chitosan-biochar composite material, in order to evaluate their physicochemical properties. The analytical methods used include SEM to observe surface structure, EDX to determine chemical composition, BET to measure surface area, and FT-IR to identify functional groups. The results show that the BET surface area of chitosan-biochar (108.0 m²/g) is lower than that of biochar (115.6 m²/g) but higher than that of chitosan (9.86 m²/g). All materials have a porous surface with an average pore radius ranging from 2.26 nm to 2.34 nm. EDX spectra show that chitosan mainly contains C and O, while chitosan-biochar also contains Si and N. FT-IR confirms the presence of C–N and N–H functional groups in chitosan-biochar, while biochar contains additional C=C, C–O–C, and Si–O–Si groups. SEM indicates that chitosan and chitosan-biochar have an amorphous surface, while biochar has a porous structure. The chitosan-biochar material effectively adsorbs Methyl Orange (MO) from solution, with optimal adsorption conditions at pH ~3, 0.2 g material, and 240 minutes.

Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
Castanopsis piriformis (Hickel & A. Camus) is recorded in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Its distribution in Vietnam is mainly concentrated in the Central Highlands and some southern provinces. This study is the first to investigate the chemical composition and biological activity of the methanol extract from Castanopsis piriformis leaves. Qualitative analysis revealed that the methanol extract of the leaves contains flavonoids, anthraglycosides, glycosides, reducing sugars, tannins, sesquiterpene lactones, coumarins, and terpenoid-steroids. Regarding biological activity, the extract exhibited moderate antioxidant activity (EC50 = 78,22 ± 7,50 µg/mL), anticancer activity against four cell lines (KB, HepG2, A549, and MCF-7) with IC50 values ranging from 32,86 ± 1,83 to 46,17 ± 1,94 µg/mL, and significant anti-inflammatory activity (IC50 = 52,65 ± 4,17 µg/mL). Notably, the extract strongly inhibited the α-glucosidase enzyme (IC50 = 0,57 ± 0,01 µg/mL), surpassing the positive control, acarbose (IC50 = 198,50 ± 6,25 µg/mL) (demonstrating potential for use in diabetes treatment.). This study highlights Castanopsis piriformis leaves' medicinal and food application potential due to their antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties.

Nguyen Thanh Luan, Nguyen Thi To Lan, Nguyen Nguyen Thi Ngoc Cham, Nguyen Thi Ngoc
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
The Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) causes leaf deformation, disrupts photosynthesis, and reduces both the yield and quality of cassava. The disease spreads rapidly, is difficult to control, and currently has no specific treatment. This study collected cassava leaf samples from five provinces in the Southeast region of Vietnam to evaluate DNA extraction methods and virus detection techniques. Results showed that the CTAB–SDS method yielded the highest ssDNA concentration at 9,925 ng/mL respectively, outperforming both the commercial DNA extraction kit and the phenol–chloroform–isoamyl alcohol method. Additionally, real-time PCR using the specific primer pair 4F/4R effectively detected the DNA A-AV1 gene of the virus, identifying viral load after 12.1 cycles (Ct) with a maximum concentration of 250 × 10⁸ IU/mL. This method enables the detection of low viral loads, supporting early diagnosis of cassava mosaic disease with high accuracy and reliability. The findings offer significant potential for controlling SLCMV infection, helping to protect disease-resistant cassava varieties and support sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
The study utilized local seasonal rice varieties collected from various provinces in the Mekong Delta to examine antioxidant compounds, aiming to identify varieties with high antioxidant properties for future breeding programs. The analysis revealed that secondary compounds, such as anthocyanins, polyphenols, and antioxidant activity indices including 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, and Ferric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) showed a strong correlation with the color of brown rice grains. Specifically, as grain color deepens from opaque white to light brown, brown, and reddish-brown, the antioxidant content increases. The research identified two varieties, such as Phuoc Ly and Ngu, with high antioxidant capacity. These findings represent an important first step towards breeding rice varieties with enhanced antioxidant properties.

Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
The study aimed to determine ammonia and nitrite excretion levels of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in environments with different salinities. The experiments were arranged with 5 treatments (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25‰), 3 replications for each. Water with different salinities was mixed from concentrated seawater and tap water. The experiments were carried out in glass tanks containing 25 liters of water with a density of 10 shrimp/tank (1,5 ± 0,13g/shrimp) and 16 shrimp/tank (4,41 ± 0,77g/shrimp). Shrimp were fed ad libitum one hour before the experiment was conducted and not fed during the experiment. Water and blood samples were collected at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours to measure TAN (phenate method 4500-NH3 F.) and NO2--N (colorimetric method 4500-NO2- B.) concentration. The results showed that NO2- was one of the excretory products of white-leg shrimp and shrimp excrete NO2- directly into the water environment. On average, shrimp excrete 25.32 mg TAN/g/h and 1.22 mg NO2--N/g/h. The TAN and NO2--N concentrations in the shrimp blood were 0.85 mg/mL and 0.052 mg/mL. Salinity has affected TAN, N-NO2- excrete level and TAN concentration in the shrimp blood, but the effect did not follow a clear pattern. Salinity has not impacted on NO2--N concentration in the shrimp blood.

Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
The study aimed to find out the species composition of harmful algae and their relationship with water quality parameters in striped catfish ponds. A total of 6 fishponds were divided into two groups, each group consisting of 3 ponds. The striped catfish ponds had an average density of 60±10 fish m-2 (group A1) and 81±11 fish m-2 (group A2). The results indicated that the species composition of phytoplankton as well as blue-green algae did not vary significantly between groups A1 (128 species and 17 species) and A2 (127 species and 15 species). The densities of blue-green algae in ponds of group A1 were lower than those of group A2. The algal species composition was not significantly correlated (p>0.05) with water environment parameters, while the density was affected remarkably by temperature and PO43- content. The species composition and abundance of blue-green algae were closely correlated with water environment parameters, including temperature, pH, DO, alkalinity, TSS, PO43-, NO3-, and TP concentrations. The findings of the study were effective in managing algae and maintaining favorable water quality in striped catfish ponds.

The writer's ability in the concept of Vietnamese medieval literature

Dang Van Vu
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
After escaping the domination of the Northern feudal forces for thousands of years, as soon as we achieved independence, our ancestors created their own written literature. Vietnamese medieval literature is counted from the 10th century to the end of the 19th century. Along with writing, medieval writers were conscious of literary theory. Many issues surrounding the nature of literary works are summarized. Along with that, aspects of composition are also of interest. In addition to the problem of conveying writing experience and the role of inspiration in creativity, our ancestors also discussed a lot about the writer's ability. Accordingly, to be able to compose, one must have natural ability, extensive educational knowledge,  rich living capital, knowledge of how to cultivate morality, and finally, be dedicated and hard-working in art.

Vo Minh Nghia, Pham Khanh Duy
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
Female poetry is an important piece that forms the appearance of literature in the Mekong Delta. From the beginning of the 21st century to the present, national literature has recognized the contributions of many female writers, including those who were born and raised or are deeply attached to the river delta. Their poetry is both traditional and modern, imbued with the culture of the Mekong Delta, and innovative and daring. The feminine “ego” in female poetry in the Mekong Delta from the perspective of artistic language was studied, which is the “ego” that loves nature and people, the “ego” that is passionate in love between couples and fluttering with very human sexual desires. Through research methods such as statistics - classification, comparison, analysis - synthesis, literary commentary - explanation, the article contributes to revealing the feminine “ego” through characteristic linguistic signals.

Pham Phuong Mai
Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
Patrick Modiano and Annie Ernaux are two French authors who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Both have succeeded in writing about the nature of memory. This article aims to compare the significance of memory as expressed in Les boulevards the ceinture by Patrick Modiano and La Place by Annie Ernaux. By using approaches such as poetics theory, biography and comparison methods, this article concludes that memory in both works serves as a tool to resist the power of marginalized groups. Moreover, memory is also a means of constructing reality and personal identity. Thus, memory not only helps preserve the past but also plays a crucial role in shaping individuals’ awareness of themselves and society.

Abstract | PDF (Tiếng Việt)
This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intentions of youth in Cu Lao Dung district, Soc Trang province, through a survey of 150 young people. Descriptive statistics and multivariate data analysis methods (Cronbach's Alpha, EFA, and linear regression method) were employed. The results showed that 72% of young people had entrepreneurial intentions, primarily in the fields of online sales, food, and services. Through the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient, all initial observed variables of the six scales (except for variable DD5) were found to have high reliability and were used for EFA analysis. After conducting EFA, six factors with 22 observed variables explaining 75.98% of the total variance were extracted. The linear regression model showed that entrepreneurial intentions among the youth were influenced by various factors, including finance, personality traits, subjective norms, entrepreneurial attitude, education, and perceived behavioral control. Among these, finance was identified as the most significant barrier. The study also proposed several solutions to foster entrepreneurial intentions among youth in the future.
