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
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
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
