Applying an interdisciplinary approach that integrates Marxist-Leninist theory, Ho Chi Minh Thought, and contemporary political culture studies, the article conceptualizes political culture not only as a spiritual foundation but also as an internal resource, a soft regulatory mechanism, and a driving force for sustainable development. On this basis, the study proposes a threetier analytical framework of Vietnamese political culture, encompassing values and ideology, norms and political behavior, and institutions and governance culture. Drawing on a synthesis of theoretical perspectives and an analysis of Vietnam's Renovation experience from 1986 to 2025, the article clarifies the dialectical relationship between political culture, institutional quality, governance effectiveness, and social trust. The findings indicate that Vietnamese political culture is undergoing a gradual transformation from a mobilization-oriented model toward a development- and creativity-oriented model, reflecting the interaction between national traditions, socialist ideals, and modern governance principles.

Additionally, when a modified water model is used in the case of the magnesium system, in which the charges of the water atoms are reduced, the magnesium ions bind the hydration shell less strongly than in the 'normal' water model, which facilitates complex formation with the disaccharides.

The differences between the two cation systems can be explained as follows: Magnesium ions bind much weaker to the disaccharide than calcium ions. The reason is that magnesium ions bind more strongly to the hydration shell due to their smaller ion radius compared to calcium ions.
