“…In addition, the use of bioenergy to provide heat in the industrial sector increases rapidly, to 24 EJ by 2050, when biomass replaces coal in the high-temperature application. Particularly in the field of construction in non-OECD countries, traditional biomass will be reduced and replaced by more efficient and cleaner fuels [19].…”

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas meet most of the energy needs of people, but fossil fuels are unsustainable. The use of fossil fuels is one of the main causes of climate change and it has a serious impact on human health. In addition, these fuels are depleting, so the research and use of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal or biomass is a necessity. In this paper, we mention some of the main reasons for promoting the development of renewable energy, the potential and the reality of renewable energy exploitation in Vietnam. In addition, we also outline the main reasons that hinder the development and exploitation of renewable energy sources in Vietnam.

The response-ability to the external and internal environmental condition qualifies the smart polymer material to be successfully applied in artificial muscle, drug delivery and water treatment. A three-dimensional polymer network based on the phenyl monomer, 2phenoxy ethyl acrylate (PEA), was polymerized under ultraviolet (UV) radiation using the Darocur 1173 as an initiator of the polymerization reaction, and the 1,6-hexane-diol diacrylate (HDDA) as a chemical cross-linker. The analysis of the thermophysical properties of this elaborated polymeric material represents the main goal of the present work. The infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the dynamic scaling calorimetry (DSC) were used to examine, respectively, the vibration of the carbon double bond (C=C) and the glass transition temperature T g. It is found that parameters, the rate of reticulation and monomer composition have a remarkable effect on the variation of T g. The swelling behavior of the cross-linked poly(PEA/ HDDA) was investigated; the effects of solvent nature, the degree of cross-linking, temperature and chemical structure have a significant influence on material swelling properties. The theoretical investigation based, especially on the Voigt model, Flory-Rehner theory and solubility approximation, permits to give much information about several parameters such as the swelling time constant, swelling equilibrium constant, solubility prediction, entropy and enthalpy. It ended interestingly that the Voigt model shows a good agreement with swelling experimental results.

“…Before that urgent request, it is necessary to apply a modern training model from advanced education to improve the quality of training comprehensively [11]. The integration of the new training program will help to raise awareness and skills on marine pollution prevention and control such as techniques for handling and responding to oil spills [12], [13] or pollution caused by engine emission [14].…”

Vietnam is located on the normal arterial maritime route between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, between Europe, the Middle East, China and Japan with regional countries. In the context of the industrial revolution 4.0 and the deeper integration of Vietnam's economy into the global economy, Vietnam's maritime industry is increasingly developing and deepening international integration. The rapid development of the domestic fleet and the labour export service of seafarers are setting out for our maritime schools the opportunity to train crew members. Improvement of training program for seafarers are considered an urgent issue, which is also a prerequisite for contributing to the development of the maritime industry actively.However, the initial integration and practice in the past few years show that the officers and crew have increased in sufficient quantity to meet the market demand but are showing many professional and operational defects, practical skills, foreign languages when working on modern ships or multinational vessels. The limitation of crew members is due to many factors, one of the basic factors is the quality of crew training, and the defects that do not meet the practical needs, especially training programs at training institutions are outdated. The paper analyses the status of the quantity and quality of Vietnamese seafarers from 2010 to 2018, propose measures to improve the quality of maritime human resources, with a focus on building and developing crew training programs by CDIO approach to meet the requirements of businesses and society for future crews.Keywords-industrial revolution 4.0; CDIO approach; a training program for seafarers.
