由于…… gives a reason or cause, often in a slightly formal or written tone. It is close to 因为, but more common in notices, reports, and careful explanations. Use it when the sentence really needs this meaning, not just because the English/Vietnamese translation seems close. Pay attention to position: the phrase introduced by 由于 usually comes before the main statement or directly before the part it modifies. Common mistakes are using it as a verb, placing it after the result, or confusing it with a similar connector such as 因为, 关于, 根据, 按照, or 对于.
