Social and human resources refer to a wide range of factors related to people and culture that are crucial for a nation's or region's sustainable development. These resources help improve people's quality of life and lay the groundwork for economic and social growth. When developed and utilized effectively, they can promote economic growth while ensuring societal fairness. In the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and globalization, it is more important than ever to invest in social and human resources. To fully tap into the potential of people and their cultural values, countries must create suitable policies. This includes improving education, preserving and promoting national culture, and fostering creativity within local communities and ethnic groups. The Northwest region of Vietnam is significant for economic and social development as well as national security. This article examines the role of social and human resources, discusses how they can be mobilized, and identifies the challenges in utilizing this valuable resource to support economic and social development in the Northwest region during this period of national progress.

   

Along with the development of digital technology, social networks are becoming increasingly popular and important in the social life of many countries, including Vietnam. Besides the positive effects of social networks such as creating connections and expanding development opportunities for individuals, social networks also bring many negative effects to people's lives, including students. This article examines the relationship between the use of social networks and students' mental health. By using a convenient sampling method of 383 full-time students at Dalat University, the research results show that the use of social networking sites (Facebook, Zalo, Instagram, Tiktok) is harmful to students' mental health. In particular, Instagram and Tiktok are more harmful than Facebook and Zalo. In particular, frequent use of Instagram at night tends to lead to symptoms of anxiety (very severe), depression (severe) and stress (moderate) in students, and time spent on social media tends to increase students' stress levels. This suggests many policy implications for network operators, managers and students themselves.

  Universities are crucial in developing high-quality human resources for national development goals. In many countries, universities are regarded as the "cradle of talent," contributing to social progress and enhancing national competitiveness. Alongside their research function, universities serve as "incubators" for high-quality science and technology (S&T) human resources. In addition to training potential personnel such as students, graduate students, and doctoral candidates, universities are also hubs for knowledge transfer activities targeting high-quality S&T human resources. These efforts aim to cultivate a workforce capable of producing innovative and high-quality S&T products, thereby contributing significantly to national development. Accordingly, the implementation of international collaborative projects in the field of S&T has proven to be highly effective in facilitating multi-level knowledge transfer activities. Such initiatives enable universities to achieve streamlined and intelligent governance. Building upon theoretical frameworks and project management approaches, this paper will analyze the critical importance of promoting knowledge transfer activities for developing S&T human resources in universities. Furthermore, it proposes a specialized model for this knowledge transfer process through international S&T projects conducted within universities.

The rapid improvement of automated equipment and innovative production lines needs increased worker awareness and the development of adaptive abilities, which are critical for determining the competitive competence of enterprises in the sector. This study investigates the perspectives of garment industry workers on retraining and skill development activities to meet the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). The study collected information from 117 people who now work in the VSIP industrial parks in Hai Phong. The research looks at the following significant aspects: i) Employees' understanding of the need for retraining; ii) Employees' perspectives on the critical skills necessary to meet Industry 4.0 requirements; and iii) Barriers to accessing and participating in training programs. The findings show that, while employees in the garment sector recognize the importance of retraining and skill development, several individuals need help accessing these programs due to time constraints, financial constraints, and a lack of information about training opportunities. The study emphasizes the need to develop training programs that combine technical competence with interpersonal skills and establish support networks from businesses and organizations that assist workers (such as unions and job placement centers).

The study has reviewed the international cooperation mechanisms within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) framework and synthesized their benefits to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study focuses on international cooperation mechanisms between countries during the Kyoto Protocol period, including mechanisms: Joint Implementation (JI), Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). After the Paris Agreement, countries can conduct bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms to enhance the emission reduction implementation in Article 6 through the International Transferable Mitigation Mechanism (ITMO) and the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM). International cooperation between countries has brought a lot of great advantages in terms of implementing emission reduction commitments and the socio-economics of those countries. Vietnam also has experience participating in the CDM and JCM and has achieved many valuable results. These experiences may encourage Vietnam to implement other international cooperation mechanisms to reduce emissions in the future.

In the context of globalization and increasing awareness of climate change, green and sustainable economic development has become an inevitable trend for nations worldwide. With a strong commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Vietnam is striving to promote green startup initiatives to maximize economic potential while protecting the environment and natural resources. Policies supporting green startups play a crucial role in creating a favorable environment, fostering creativity and innovation, and enhancing the competitiveness of domestic green enterprises. However, the implementation of these policies in Vietnam still faces many challenges, including an inconsistent legal framework, fragmented support resources, and barriers in accessing capital and markets. This article aims to analyze the current state of green startup support policies in Vietnam and highlight key issues to consider during the policy formulation and implementation process.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has been a pivotal force driving transformations in labor and production activities, including innovations in production methods and improvements in working environments. These developments profoundly impact workers across all sectors. In industrial parks, technological advancements significantly influence how workers perform their jobs, necessitating rapid adaptation and continuous skill enhancement in an increasingly professional and competitive working environment. The adoption of technology in production processes enhances efficiency, increases productivity, reduces costs, and improves product quality. However, it also poses challenges such as technological unemployment for workers. Dong Nai, one of the provinces with the largest number of industrial parks in Vietnam, has attracted investors from 43 countries and territories, maintaining its position as an industrial hub in recent years. In Dong Nai’s industrial parks, the intensification of technology transfer and development presents both challenges and opportunities. These dynamics enable workers to enhance their skills, boost competitiveness, and integrate more deeply into global value chains. This paper analyzes key transformations in the labor and production activities of workers in Dong Nai’s industrial parks amidst the context of this new industrial revolution. It also proposes solutions to enhance the capabilities and skills of industrial park workers to meet current demands.
