The purpose of the article is to examine the response of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam to supply chain finance and then have a strategy to use supply chain risk resilience to control supply chain risk and improve supply chain effectiveness and SMEs performance. The analysis results are based on three months of data collected from 890 SMEs in Vietnam. The results show that supply chain finance has a statistically significant positive impact on supply chain effectiveness, SMEs performance and supply chain risk resilience. At the same time, supply chain finance has a negative impact on the supply chain risk of Vietnam SMEs in the global supply chain. Finally, we offer recommendations to help SMEs improve supply chain effectiveness and performance through the supply chain finance tool.

Nguyen Trai is a military strategist, politician, diplomat as well as a philosopher and a big humanist in the history of Vietnamese thought. His thoughts are expressed in many fields and have contributed greatly to the history of Vietnamese thought. In particular, his ethical reflections continue to be meaningful to contemporary society in general and uniquely significant for Vietnam today in particular. This article focuses on clarifying Nguyen Trai's thought on ethics while extracting the value of that his intellectual heritage to the social life in Vietnam today. The article further clarifies the basic contents of Nguyen Trai's ethical thinking as follows: Firstly, the thought of benevolence and righteousness -the core and basic content in Nguyen Trai's thought on ethics; secondly, the so-called 'Three Moral Bonds -Five Constant Virtues,' which are the basic standards and value scales of ethics; thirdly, his notion of 'Tolerance and spirit of solidarity' as these relate to interpersonal human relationships in their endeavor to build a wealthy and happy society; fourthly, Trai's 'Aspiration for peace and love for nature.' From these contents, the article comes to draw the values of Nguyen Trai's thought on ethics for the social life in Vietnam today, such as: contributing to preserving and promoting compassion, promoting tolerance and solidarity, and contributing to the formation and development of ecological ethics.

The k0-based internal mono-standard (IM) method was first proposed for the concentration analysis of samples of non-standard geometry in the 2000s. The method has demonstrated several advantages such as the elimination of gamma-ray self-attenuation and geometrical effects. On the other hand, the accuracy of the method principally depends on the in situ relative detection efficiency, which requires to be obtained in each measurement. Therefore, the relative detection efficiency is always under consideration for the improvement of the analysis results. The present paper describes a simple and automatic procedure for the determination of the relative efficiency using one or more activation products emitting gamma rays over a considered range of the spectrum. The procedure can be applied for INAA and PGNAA analysis.

Fluoxetine is an antidepressant that acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Fluoxetine has exhibited different mechanisms of action on many different cell lines. In this study, the effect of fluoxetine on cAMP production in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells under the stimulation of bovine follicle-stimulating hormone were examined. HEK cells were incubated for 60 minutes with fluoxetine at different concentrations (0, 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 μM), and then cAMP accumulation, ATP level, and AMPK phosphorylation and cell viability were tested. Our results showed that fluoxetine at 25 and 50 μM attenuated cAMP levels in cells after bFSH stimulation. The depletion of cAMP at this concentration is accompanied by a decrease in ATP energy and an increased capacity to phosphorylate AMPK. As such, this study showed that fluoxetine induces a reduction in cAMP accumulation and that it is associated with the AMPK pathway in HEK cells
