    The moderating role of innovative organizational climate on the relationship between environmental monitoring social monitoring, governance monitoring and sustainable development goals (case of Vietnam)

    Globally, the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a significant requirement for companies and economies due to the high uncertainty of environmental and economic conditions. Thus, the present research investigates the impact of effective environmental, social and governance (ESG) monitoring on the SDGs achievement of textile industry in Vietnam. The research also examines the mediating impact of innovative organizational climate among the association of ESG monitoring and SDGs achievement. The questionnaires were adapted to collect the primary data from the selected respondents. Smart-PLS was applied to examine the data reliability and linkage among variables. The results revealed that environmental monitoring and social monitoring have a positive linkage with the SDGs achievement. The findings also exposed that innovative organizational climate significantly mediates among environmental monitoring, social monitoring and SDGs achievement. This article guides the policymakers while formulating regulations related to the ESG monitoring to attain the SDGs

    Disconnectedness and unboundedness of the solution sets of monotone vector variational inequalities

    Full text link
    In this paper, we prove that if the weak Pareto solution set of a monotone vector variational inequality is disconnected then each connected component of this set is unbounded. Consequently, the set is connected when it is bounded and nonempty. Similar assertions are also valid for the proper Pareto solution set.Comment: 12 page

    Application of geographic information system and modelling in health impact assessment for urban road mobility in Vietnam

    Transport is an essential sector in modern societies. It connects economic sectors and industries. Next to its contribution to economic development and social interconnection, it also causes adverse impacts on the environment and results in health hazards. Transport is a major source of ground air pollution, especially in urban areas, and therefore contributing to the health problems, such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer, and physical injuries. This thesis presents the results of a health risk assessment that quantifies the mortality and the diseases associated with particulate matter pollution resulting from urban road transport in Hai Phong City, Vietnam. The focus is on the integration of modelling and GIS approaches in the exposure analysis to increase the accuracy of the assessment and to produce timely and consistent assessment results. The modelling was done to estimate traffic conditions and concentrations of particulate matters based on geo-references data. A simplified health risk assessment was also done for Ha Noi based on monitoring data that allows a comparison of the results between the two cases. The results of the case studies show that health risk assessment based on modelling data can provide a much more detail results and allows assessing health impacts of different mobility development options at micro level. The use of modeling and GIS as a common platform for the integration of different assessments (environmental, health, socio-economic, etc.) provides various strengths, especially in capitalising on the available data stored in different units and forms and allows handling large amount of data. The use of models and GIS in a health risk assessment, from a decision making point of view, can reduce the processing/waiting time while providing a view at different scales: from micro scale (sections of a city) to a macro scale. It also helps visualising the links between air quality and health outcomes which is useful discussing different development options. However, a number of improvements can be made to further advance the integration. An improved integration programme of the data will facilitate the application of integrated models in policy-making. Data on mobility survey, environmental monitoring and measuring must be standardised and legalised. Various traffic models, together with emission and dispersion models, should be tested and more attention should be given to their uncertainty and sensitivit

    On the solution existence and stability of polynomial optimization problems

    Full text link
    This paper introduces and investigates a regularity condition in the asymptotic sense for the optimization problems whose objective functions are polynomial. We prove two sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions for polynomial optimization problems. Further, when the constraint sets are semi-algebraic, we show results on the stability of the solution map of polynomial optimization problems. At the end of the paper, we discuss the genericity of the regularity condition.Comment: The old title: A regularity condition in polynomial optimizatio
