Come on, I'm almost ready to ''quit for health reasons'', so to speak, more softly. A little news and I switch to "throw links" mode (which I have not been able to post) from the files

Some of the links may be repeated with previous posts. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Maybe a lot of them? I don't know. When I post something I've collected, I don't delete my link in the file, so... From memory.

I'll just leave them here. Not that anyone needs them, but I've collected them anyway, and I'm not gonna need them anymore.

Innovations, and not only Belarusian ones: this year the latest developments were brought to us from 11 countries. Cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, 3D printing technologies, augmented and virtual reality. Great interest in the possibilities of 5G speeds.

Videoconferencing systems, new mobile phones, laptops, tablets and other smart devices - all this is "TIBO-2021". Alina Lappo has the details.

For more than a quarter of a century, the platform has been presenting innovative developments in the field of information technology, as well as the possibility of their effective application in various directions. By the way, and not only Belarusian ones: this year innovations were brought to us from 11 countries. There are more than a hundred scientific and technical inventions at the forum: these are cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, 3D printing technologies, augmented and virtual reality.

The scale of the event shows that Belarus has achieved high results in the development of technologies. And the tasks for the future are no less ambitious. The plans include the implementation of many significant projects, for example, the introduction of a mobile electronic digital signature, the scaling of smart cities, the development of e-education projects, healthcare and a number of other technologies, including in cooperation with the EAEU.

Golovchenko urges EAEU to intensify efforts on digital agenda
3 февраля 2023

During the plenary session of the digital forum "Digital Almaty 2023: Digital Partnership in the New Reality," Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko urged the EAEU countries to intensify efforts to implement digital agenda, BelTA informs.

"In the era of digital transformation, close attention should be paid to society and business. It is necessary to digitize their communication with the state. Absolutely all the EAEU countries are going this way. And this is absolutely the right and justified decision. It is very good that we have the opportunity to exchange experience in this area," said Roman Golovchenko.

According to him, the provision of remote public services should be developed not only in the country, but for all citizens of the Union. Therefore it is important to create a cross-border space of trust within the EAEU, including first of all recognition of electronic digital signature, without which it is impossible to provide quality public services to the population and effective operation of government and state institutions. "I believe that the heads of governments have the right to instruct the responsible authorities to expedite the necessary work in this direction," Prime Minister pointed out.

"Undoubtedly, without an appropriate level of digital education and understanding of human behavior in the digital world, it is impossible to solve these tasks. Therefore, the training of personnel in the digital economy requires constant modernization of the existing structure of education and paying special attention to the adaptation of various segments of the population to life in the digital world," he stressed.

Lukashenko draws attention to information security and digital agenda at Eurasian forum

The digital agenda of the Eurasian Economic Union requires a significant update. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated this in his speech at the II Eurasian Economic Forum in Moscow, BelTA informs.

Belarus to implement 6 "projects of the future" within EAEU
21 июня 2022

In order to speak the same language with partner countries in economic cooperation, it is necessary to maintain common quality standards. This was said during the scientific and practical conference of the Eurasian Economic Commission. Under the conditions of sanctions pressure, the issue of effective, and most importantly, rapid import substitution is especially relevant now. And where the collective West builds barriers, new opportunities for increasing production emerge. Thus, Belarus is interested in the implementation of six "projects of the future" including the development of national electric transport, precision farming, the introduction of biotechnology in the agricultural sector and pharmaceuticals. The innovative health care and "Smart Cities" are also among the promising areas.

Mikhail Myasnikovich, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission:
The work directly at the plenary session and in the sections showed that it is necessary to work very seriously on promising projects, tomorrow's projects. We have certain competences in microelectronics (in Belarus, the Russian Federation, and the Republic of Armenia) and all this has to be combined. Today, we are forced by the Eurasian Economic Commission to take decisions to simplify some technical solutions, including in mechanical engineering and automobile construction due to the lack of chips.

Vladimir Gusakov, Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus:
The Belarusian Academy of Sciences has a lot to offer. We can work together in the field of space, but it all has to be more dynamic, and we have to accelerate these processes in the field of biotechnology, nanomaterials, electric transport. It would be very good if we had a car, an electric car of the EAEU.

Эксперт считает, что нейротехнологии помогут людям бороться с алкоголизмом и наркоманией

Подобные системы основаны на нейробиоуправлении и уже применяются в реабилитации пациентов с инсультом, травмами и неврологическими расстройствами, рассказал продакт-менеджер компании "Нейроботикс" Александр Зонов

nauka.tass.ru

The expert believes that neurotechnologies will help people to fight alcoholism and drug addiction
Such systems are based on neurobiocontrol and are already used in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke, trauma and neurological disorders, said the product manager of the company "Neurobotics" Alexander Zonov

NIZHNY NOVGOROD, June 2. /tass/. Neurointerfaces that help users control brain activity and become more aware of their own actions can be used in the future to rid people of alcohol and drug addiction. This opinion was expressed by TASS on Friday at the conference "Digital Industry of Industrial Russia" (CIPR) product manager of the company "Neurobotics" (market participant of the National Technological Initiative "Neuronet") Alexander Zonov.

Similar systems are already used in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke, trauma and neurological disorders. They are based on neurobiocontrol - biofeedback (BOS), through which the user learns to control body movements and brain activity using visual or audio signals.

"Due to this, it is possible to cope with various kinds of dependencies. For example, if a person is addicted to sweets, in order to combat it, he learns to respond correctly to the impulse and stimulus that leads him to uncontrolled consumption of sweets. When a stressful situation or other trigger appears, a person reacts to it more adequately, without falling into an uncontrolled state. The same applies to any other addiction: alcohol, cigarettes, obsessive actions and so on," said Zonov, adding that such systems already allow you to deal with sleep disorders, attention, memory, as well as chronic fatigue and anxiety.

A person receives feedback from his own body using sensors that read the electrical activity of the brain. Correction of actions occurs due to the fact that the patient consciously controls his psychological state, affecting such parameters of brain activity as, for example, the frequency and amplitude of the alpha rhythm.

"The approach does not require medical intervention. Accordingly, there is no withdrawal syndrome, which is important for the effectiveness of the treatment of addictions and other diseases that are on the verge of psychological and physical," the expert added.

Zonov clarified that Russian development teams are already engaged in the development of such systems. The speed of their development depends on overcoming existing barriers - limited access to expensive equipment and insufficient level of consolidation of medical institutions and research centers in this area.

В России впервые изучили поведение иммунных клеток мозга при травмах позвоночника

Клетки микроглии могут "выбрать" два пути активации - либо помочь восстановлению нервной ткани после повреждения, либо способствовать ее разрушению

In Russia, for the first time, the behavior of immune brain cells in spinal injuries was studied
Microglia cells can "choose" two ways of activation - either to help restore nerve tissue after damage, or to contribute to its destruction

MOSCOW, July 12. /tass/. Scientists of the Research Institute "Gene and Cell Technologies" of the Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology of Kazan Federal University (KFU) for the first time investigated the types of activation of immune cells of the central nervous system (microglia) in spinal cord injuries. The results should contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms occurring in the nervous tissue, the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia reported on Wednesday.

The study was conducted in vitro (in vitro) on models of spinal cord injury of different degrees of severity and in different post-traumatic periods (acute, subacute and chronic). As the head of the Center of Excellence "Personalized Medicine" and the Research Institute "Gene and Cell Technologies" of KFU Albert Rizvanov noted, microglia cells are capable of both anti-inflammatory and protective effects, and contribute to the destruction of nervous tissue.

"Microglial cells in spinal cord injury are activated, that is, an immune response occurs, and its degree directly depends on the severity of the injury. As a result of activation, these cells acquire a neurotoxic or neuroprotective phenotype - the process of their polarization occurs. They are polarized spontaneously, but usually polarization towards the neurotoxic phenotype occurs to a greater extent, since this is facilitated by the release of pro-inflammatory molecules by different cells in the epicenter of damage. Activation of microglial cells in the case of acquisition of a neuroprotective phenotype contributes to the restoration of nervous tissue," the press service quotes Rizvanov as saying.

CFU researchers have revealed a pattern: the more serious the spinal cord injury, the lower the ability of microglia to divide and destroy foreign particles and damaged cells in all post-traumatic periods. This result will help in the development of new approaches to the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Now the study has moved to the stage of animal studies, where it is necessary to confirm the results obtained.

"We have yet to find reliable ways to polarize the cells of the brain's immune system towards a neuroprotective phenotype, which will promote neuroregeneration," said Yana Mukhamedshina, a leading researcher at the Gene and Cell Technologies Research Institute, head of the Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neuroregeneration research group.

The project is implemented within the framework of the program of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia "Priority 2030", which is one of the measures of state support for universities of the national project "Science and Universities".

В МГУ создали систему, помогающую выявить неискренние ответы в опросах

Она самостоятельно подбирает подходящие для этой задачи контрольные вопросы в психологических и социологических анкетах

MSU has created a system to help identify insincere answers in surveys
She independently selects control questions suitable for this task in psychological and sociological questionnaires

MOSCOW, July 12. /tass/. Specialists of the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Lomonosov Moscow State University have developed a natural language processing system that allows speeding up and improving the effectiveness of the selection of control questions in questionnaires. This was announced on Wednesday by the press service of the university.

The control questions in the questionnaires are several theses of the same content, expressed in different words. They are added to the questionnaires in order to check the degree of sincerity of the respondent: if the answers to them differ, then this may indicate a person's attempts to hide information or evade a direct answer. The selection of such control questions requires considerable effort and takes a lot of time. The authors of the work found a way to simplify this process due to a system that independently searches for similar questions in meaning.

"The [created] natural language processing system is a real breakthrough in the field of questionnaires and selection of control questions. Innovative methods, including latent semantic analysis and thematic modeling, allow experts to effectively find and select control questions, guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of survey results," the press service of Moscow State University quotes the words of Associate professor of the Department of Algorithmic Languages of the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of the University Vladimir Abramov.

The new solution uses several methods of working with data that allow you to analyze the frequency and significance of certain words in a document, as well as determine semantic relationships between them.

"This approach helps to more accurately select control questions and avoid repetition or confusion. <…> [Using machine learning technologies], the system automatically identifies the most likely combinations of topics and words discussed in documents. Thus, it determines the probability distribution for each topic in each document, which facilitates the search for questions containing similar topics," the university explained.

The authors have experienced the development when compiling surveys in the field of psychology and sociology. The results confirmed its effectiveness, the MSU press service reported.

Andrey Belousov: More than 100 companies are involved in the implementation of agreements on the development of high-tech areas
July 14, 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov held a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on Economic Modernization and Innovative Development. The participants discussed the development of the main high-tech areas. We are talking about artificial intelligence, quantum computing and communications, hydrogen energy, modern communication networks. Energy storage systems, a number of major software products, new materials, promising space systems and services are also being created.

"Let me remind you that on behalf of the President of Russia, the Government has concluded 10 agreements with the country's largest companies on the development of high-tech areas, the essence of which is to create specific industrial products and samples ready for replication and mass production. Detailed roadmaps have been developed for each agreement, specific lists of measures have been formed, and indicators have been determined. More than 100 companies are involved in the implementation of the roadmaps activities. All this work is designed to support the development of end–to-end technologies that define the face of the modern economy and the life of society," Andrei Belousov stressed.

Six of the ten "road maps" are supervised by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. These are "Modern and promising mobile communication networks", "Quantum Computing", "Quantum Communications", "New Industrial Software", "New system-wide Software" and "Artificial Intelligence".

"The work on the six "roadmaps" of high-tech areas supervised by me is carried out according to the planned plans. We expect to achieve all the targets. 93.5 billion rubles are provided for their financing in 2023, of which business funds – 73.9 billion rubles. I would like to note the most significant results since the signing of the agreements. 106 higher education programs in the field of AI have been formed, software development has been completed for ten particularly significant projects, and it will be completed for nine more by the end of this year; 3,000 people have been trained in the direction of artificial intelligence; by the end of the year, the construction of new sections of the main quantum network to the cities of Kazan, Voronezh, Rostov-on-Don with a total length of 1.4 thousand km will be completed," Dmitry Chernyshenko said.

Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov reported on the implementation of the roadmap on artificial intelligence.

"In the first half of the year, the Innovation Assistance Fund supported 44 projects for the development of AI solutions. 102 higher education programs have been approved for the development of education and science in the field of artificial intelligence. Six research centers have been supported. More than 3 thousand specialists have been released to the market," Maxim Kolesnikov said.

"The introduction of artificial intelligence already gives a significant economic effect not only in the banking sector, but also in many other sectors of the economy, such as agriculture and construction. The growing demand for neural networks in Russia and the world, using the example of Kandinsky 2.2 from Sberbank, opens up new opportunities for solving applied problems in the field of generative AI for various industries, as well as for creating new professions," said Maxim Eremenko, Vice President and Director of the Department of Development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Technologies of Sberbank.

The roadmap "Technologies of new materials and substances" has been updated. To the three traditional directions – polymer composite materials, rare and rare earth metals, additive technologies – a new important direction has been added – "Advanced materials and digital Materials Science".

"In the direction of polymer composite materials, a full-cycle production chain for the production of carbon fiber-based composites has already been formed. A comprehensive scientific and technological program “New Composite Materials” has been approved, which provides for the implementation of 19 projects, within the framework of which 42 new technologies will be developed. In the direction of “Additive technologies”, a method of manufacturing elements of equipment for nuclear and hydrogen energy in an additive way has been developed. Additive technology centers have been launched in Novouralsk and Nizhny Novgorod, as well as a site for the digital production of precision products for medicine in Troitsk. The center for additive technologies of RuSat has created a complete technological chain for 3D scanning, printing of products and their further post–processing," said State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Viktor Yevtukhov.

One of the key mechanisms for supporting promising technologies will be the implementation in 2023-2028 of the comprehensive scientific and technical project "Additive Technologies. New materials and technological processes". It involves the coordinated development and implementation of modern technologies and products, such as equipment for printing metal products, composites for drones and military equipment of the future, as well as a special software package.

Kirill Komarov, First Deputy Director General of Rosatom State Corporation, in his speech spoke about the implementation of the Energy Storage Systems roadmap and noted that the launch of Russia's first gigafactory for the production of energy storage systems with a capacity of 4 GWh per year is expected in the second half of 2025. He also said that the corporation's projects in the direction of "Hydrogen energy" are being implemented according to the plan.

The implementation of "roadmaps" for new industrial and system-wide software will allow replacing foreign digital products in key sectors of the economy and industry, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Finance Andrey Zarenin reported during the meeting.

"Within the framework of the roadmap "Modern and promising mobile communication networks for the period up to 2030", the largest operators signed forward contracts for the supply of LTE base station equipment in 2025-2030. In total, more than 70 thousand base stations will be produced and delivered by 2030 for a total amount of more than 100 billion rubles. At the same time, a set of measures is being implemented to create a layout of a 5G communication network base station; to develop a domestic electronic component base – the main integrated circuits; the development of completely domestic software without the use of foreign licensed developments," added Andrey Zarenin.

The participants of the presidium also discussed the development of hydrogen transport. A demonstration sample of a mobile plasma hydrogen generator has already been developed, a technology for the disposal of flue gases from gas pumping units with subsequent processing into methanol, an advance project of a hydrogen filling station has been created, said Deputy Energy Minister Eduard Sheremettsev.

The meeting was also attended by Maxim Oreshkin, Assistant to the President of Russia, Mikhail Ivanov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Mikhail Oseevsky, President of Rostelecom PJSC, Boris Nuraliev, CEO of 1C, Alexey Kashin, Chairman of the Board of Directors, CEO of InEnergy Group of Companies, Nikolay Pozhidaev, President of Sitronics JSC, Deputy CEO Roscosmos Group Ravil Khakimov, Deputy General Director – Chief Engineer of Russian Railways Anatoly Khramtsov, Director of Digitalization of Rosatom Group Ekaterina Solntseva.

Dmitry Chernyshenko: The state is the main customer of scientific research on quantum technologies
July 14, 2023
State policy in the field of scientific research and development
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the plenary session of the Forum of Future Technologies with the participation of the President. Following the results, the Deputy Prime Minister gave a comment on the development of quantum technologies and support measures taken by the Government in this area.

For the development of quantum communications and quantum computing, the Government, together with the industry, have formed the corresponding "roadmaps" – "Quantum Computing" and "Quantum Communications". They contain a specific list of measures aimed at the development and application of technologies. Until 2026, the "road maps" provide funds in the amount of 41 billion rubles, and the parity of public and private financing is ensured.

"The government is attentive to these requests. In a dialogue with the Ministry of Finance, today we are determining the necessary volumes until 2030 and are working on mechanisms and sources of additional funding. Also, the primary task of the state is to create the necessary regulatory regulation and investment–attractive conditions for scaling up and implementing proven technologies," Dmitry Chernyshenko said.

He also noted that quantum technologies have been experiencing explosive growth in recent years.

"The order for fundamental quantum research is constantly growing in the world. The state is the main customer of such research – until 2024, the Government has allocated funding in the amount of over 24 billion rubles for these purposes, but the applied implementation of the results and further order for engineering research should also be on the side of business," the Deputy Chairman of the Government commented.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the main results that were obtained thanks to the Government's work with the industry, including the implementation of the "road maps". For example, a pilot section of the Moscow –Saint Petersburg quantum backbone network and a Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod segment have been created. By the end of 2023, it is planned to build new segments with a total length of more than 1.4 thousand km. The universities participating in the project are operating and planning to create a line within the interuniversity quantum network: MSU, ITMO, MISIS, N.I. Lobachevsky National Research University.

"According to the roadmaps, by 2030 we plan to build at least 15 thousand km of main channels of quantum communications in key areas, to create monitoring centers of the quantum network. In terms of quantum communications, technology companies should sell products worth 30 billion rubles," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also spoke about the domestic 16-qubit quantum computer, which was demonstrated to Vladimir Putin at the Forum of Future Technologies. The deputy Prime Minister added that by the end of the year there is a task to create a 20-qubit quantum computer.

Speaking about the impact of quantum technologies on digital transformation, the Deputy Prime Minister noted that quantum computing gives impetus to digital development, since it provides higher data processing speed compared to conventional computers. At the same time, quantum solutions set completely new requirements for information security.

HSE Scientists Investigate Third-Party Punishment for Unfairness

Scientists can measure individual sensitivity towards unfairness

iq.hse.ru

HSE researchers have examined the brain's reaction to violations of social norms and calculated a behavioural index to assess an individual's sensitivity to unfairness. This index can potentially be used to develop individualised rehabilitation programmes for patients with various types of behavioural disorders. The study has been published in Neuroscience Letters.
...
These findings can be applied in clinical settings to create personalised therapy plans. For instance, in patients with autism spectrum disorders, the degree and depth of their condition may vary, and accordingly, they may require more intensive training in social skills. The researchers suggest that by using the behavioural index, an individualised rehabilitation programme can be constructed for each patient. / July 12, 2023

About Skolkovo Foundation - Skolkovo Community

old.sk.ru

What is Skolkovo?
On Sept. 28, 2010, then-President Dmitry Medvedev signed a law “On the Skolkovo Innovation Center,” giving rise to the project’s managing entity, the not-for-profit Skolkovo Foundation.

Charged with providing the catalyst for the diversification of the Russian economy, the Skolkovo Foundation’s overarching goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem of entrepreneurship and innovation, engendering a startup culture and encouraging venture capitalism.

The Skolkovo Foundation identified five key areas of potential growth: energy efficiency, strategic computer technologies, biomedicine, nuclear technologies and space technologies.

To achieve this the Foundation is overseeing the creation of the Skolkovo Innovation Center, composed of companies and startups, developing innovative technologies (currently numbering over 1,000), a Technopark, the Skolkovo Institute of Technology (Skoltech), a new graduate research University established in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Skolkovo city, located near Moscow. Together these entities will establish a vibrant ecosystem of technology innovation and entrepreneurship. Thirty of the world’s most successful corporations, including Boeing, Cisco Systems, EADS, GE, Johnson & Johnson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Siemens, Nokia, Samsung etc. have already recognized the opportunity Skolkovo presents, having signed R&D partnership agreements with the Foundation.

Dozens of innovative projects developed by Skolkovo startups have found success in international markets, in particular, equipment for the dynamic modeling of oil and gas fields, next-generation screen displays and laser systems for soft-tissue surgery.

Surveys have showed that Skolkovo startups are three times more likely to attract investment than non-members.

In August 2013, the Skolkovo project was chosen for inclusion in the government’s “economic development and innovation economy” program, resulting in the allocation of 3.5 billion rubles for the development of Skolkovo through 2020.

THE PROJECT AIMS
Foundation for development of the New Technologies Development and Commercialization Centre is involved in creating Skolkovo centre, a unique one in Russia.

MIT
Collaboration: Skoltech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
In October 2011, MIT launched a multi-year collaboration to assist Russian partners in building a new university, the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech). The first phase of this joint effort consisted of a wide range of activities leading to the launch and early growth of Skoltech. Beginning in March 2016, the second phase of the MIT-Skoltech relationship built on this foundation through joint research activities that promoted the continued development of Skoltech. The third phase, which started in March 2019, supported joint activities between faculty and students at the two universities in research, graduate education, and innovation. The relationship ended in 2022.

As a result of this 10-year collaboration a pioneering new academic center was created in Russia, and more than 75 academic research projects involving faculty and students from MIT and Skoltech contributed to the development of new knowledge in a wide range of scientific and engineering fields.

В «Сколково» назвали лидеров среди стран БРИКС по внедрению

Эксперты «Сколково» (Группа ВЭБ.РФ) и аналитического центра MINDSMITH провели исследование цифровых валют центральных банков (CBDC)

Skolkovo named the leaders among the BRICS countries in the introduction of digital currencies
28 July 2023

Experts from Skolkovo (VEB.RF Group) and the MINDSMITH analytical center conducted a study of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) of the BRICS countries. The objects of the study were five countries - Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa, 21 experts took part in the survey, and 233 sources of information formed the basis. According to the results, all countries of the interstate association are actively working on the development of CBDC projects, show interest in cross-border operations in the field of CBDC and the creation of a supranational digital currency of the alliance.

CBDC projects in the BRICS countries are at least at the prototype stage, and in some have already reached the pilot stage. It identifies problems with the concept and relevance of a particular digital currency in the context of a particular country.

Pavel Novikov, Director of Sk Fintech Hub: "On July 24, the President of Russia signed a law on the introduction of the digital ruble and the creation of an appropriate electronic platform. In our study, we tried to understand how each of the countries implements its projects, who is involved in them, and for what purposes it is going to introduce CBDC. Digital currencies have the potential to ensure the financial sovereignty of countries and stimulate GDP growth through the development of new trade and economic ties and the implementation of innovative business models.

According to the study, there is a high interest in cross-border payments among BRICS members. Experts predict the integration of partner countries and neighboring countries into the economic and financial systems of the alliance based on CBDC projects. In addition, in the context of large-scale transformations of the world economy, a hypothesis arises about the possibility of creating a supranational digital currency BRICS. This concept is supported by the leaders of the countries of the association, as it seems to be a promising direction of development. According to experts, a single digital currency will not be a CBDC in the literal sense: countries will not abandon national currencies and will keep their central banks with them. However, for the development of this project, practices and technologies mastered and used in the creation of CBDCs of the alliance countries will be used.

Pavel Novikov, Director of Sk Fintech Hub: "We are witnessing the formation of new centers of power: the BRICS association represents more than 40% of the world's population and accounts for about 30% of world GDP growth. To ensure economic interaction and growth of each of the participating countries, it is necessary to strengthen integration. An important step in this direction is the creation of central bank digital currencies, which contributes to the unification and expansion of the economic space. Digital currencies have the potential to ensure the financial sovereignty of countries and stimulate GDP growth through the development of new trade and economic ties, the implementation of new business models. However, the successful implementation of digital currencies requires joint efforts and balanced decisions on the part of all stakeholders."

The emergence of a single BRICS currency could ease sanctions, as well as reduce the dependence of world trade and the global financial system on the dollar. At the same time, a common currency can strengthen the monetary sovereignty of the BRICS countries, providing them with greater control over their domestic and foreign monetary policies, become a central unit of account between countries, significantly optimize the costs of cross-border settlements between them and simplify the integration of countries that have a large trade turnover with BRICS members in complex political relations.

Since 2022, test scenarios for a prototype of a digital currency platform have been carried out in Russia. More than 40 different functions of the platform have already been tested and the readiness of bank systems to interact with it has been checked. 13 of the 15 banks that took part in the test, together with the Central Bank, will conduct a pilot launch on real clients.

The new form of the ruble is primarily a product of Russia's course towards the development of the digital economy. Among the main tasks of the Russian retail CBDC are: increasing transparency, reducing costs and improving the speed and efficiency of transfers, as well as ensuring the security of the country's economy. Full transparency in the distribution of the budget will allow more efficient use of state funds, the transition to the digital ruble should save the country a significant amount of money in the long term.

In 2020, China began testing and implementing a pilot launch of the project, which involved 20 entities with a population of more than 270 million people. As a result, in January 2023, 13.61 billion digital yuan ($2 billion) circulated in the Chinese economy, accounting for 0.13% of the yuan in circulation in the country. At the same time, in the period from 2022 to 2023, the digital yuan became 15% more popular.

South Africa has a clear vision of the role of digital currency in its economy and financial system. In 2021, the country launched the first project to test interbank transactions, in which the Central Bank of South Africa and eight banks of the country took part. During the pilot, the system was able to process the average daily volume of interbank transactions (70 thousand) in 2 hours. In addition, South Africa is considering different approaches to CBDCs.

India initiated the Digital Rupee project in 2022. 15 cities, as well as financial institutions, including four large Indian banks, took part in the project. The digital rupee, unlike many other CBDC projects, was designed in two forms at once: wholesale and retail. During the e-RUPI project, citizens could receive electronic vouchers in the form of SMS and QR codes. At the moment, the retail digital rupee pilot covers more than 50,000 citizens and more than 10,000 businesses of various sizes, including the largest retail chain in the country.

Work on the digital Brazilian real began after the first pilot launches of the digital yuan. This allowed the Brazilian government to identify possible problems in the implementation of retail CBDCs even before the concept of the digital real was published. In 2023, Brazil launched a digital currency test, in which the Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange Mercado Bitcoin and startups of the LIFT Challenge project took part. The legality of interactions with digital real tokens on a public blockchain was tested.

Edtech hub "Skolkovo" held a Demo Day of the ED2 accelerator in the Metaverse
24 July 2023

The results of the ninth stream of the ED2 accelerator for Ed and HRTech projects, which is organized by the Skolkovo EdTech hub with the support of Innopraktika, have been summed up. For the first time, the demo day of the acceleration program was held in two formats: offline in the Skolkovo Technopark and online in its digital copy hosted in the Metaverse.

For three months, startups tested hypotheses, participated in "pilots", formed offers for customers and tested business approaches. As part of the Demo Day, the 15 best teams presented their products and work results. In total, more than 230 applications were submitted for participation in the accelerator.

The winners of the ED2 program included six Skolkovo residents: the Voltep platform for creating meta-worlds, the Aknauzer additional professional education service for medical workers, the 99 points platform for preparing for the exam and OGE, the sBoard online board, the Innotsifra education digitalization project (developer of the Filin service), the IN. TOP».

During the passage of the program, the participants of the 9th set increased revenue up to 40%, launched new products and carried out implementations. The teams offered the market new approaches and technologies in B2C training, breakthrough solutions in the field of recruitment and corporate education: virtual spaces, smart selection systems, teamwork platforms, new mechanics of children's education.

Mark Trifonov, Director of the Development Projects Directorate at Innopraktika: "Each new set of EdTech Accelerator ED2 is a search for new solutions for the educational sphere, and today they are especially relevant. The participants of the ninth cohort during the program showed decent results, and I hope that both the scaling of new products and their effective commercialization will prove the relevance of their projects."

In addition to the traditional offline format of the Demo Day, the participants of the event were able to meet with the avatars of the founders and organizers in the digital space of the Metaverse, as well as get acquainted with the virtual stands of the projects.

A digital copy of the Skolkovo Technopark for the expanded exposition of the accelerator in the Metaverse was created by one of the ED2 startups, the Voltep project. During its participation in the program, the team increased revenue for the quarter to 8.2 million rubles (by 20%), entered into agreements on pilots with the I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University and the Steford startup community. The management of Voltep highly appreciates the results of cooperation with the ED2 accelerator and plans to continue it in the next set.

Ivan Teplov, CEO of the Voltep startup: "We wanted to analyze what mechanics the Edtech direction of our platform needs. It turned out that the tools of companies that train employees and accelerators that help startups grow are very similar to each other. The accelerator can also be moved to the metaspace, thereby increasing audience engagement and reducing costs. In addition to folders with presentations and traditional speeches, the projects were presented in the digital space in the format of a full-fledged exhibition inside the Skolkovo Technopark, a virtual copy of which we developed in advance according to the available diagrams and photographs. In real life, the cost of organizing an event of such a plan can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of rubles. With our help, this is done very quickly and at an affordable price.

Impressive results were demonstrated by other participants of the program.

The main prize of the accelerator - an MSF grant in the amount of 300 thousand rubles was received by the company "CareMyBaby".

The Filin service entered a new market in B2G and implemented the system at the Russian State University for the Humanities, replacing the traditional mechanics of passing exams, tests and thesis defenses with the use of platform neural networks. The pilot was attended by 55 teachers and 195 students. As a result, the service received a request for commercial integration in the amount of 8 million rubles.

The Preax platform also launched 4 pilots with corporations (GeekBrains, SkillBox, Skypro, Hexlet) and received a grant from the Innovation Promotion Fund - 4 million rubles under the Start program.

The online school "99 points" has made sales of its new direction "Professions" for 4 million rubles and conducts due-diligence.

The educational service "Medrabotnik.online" launched a new line of products and entered into a partnership with two companies (the ALGOM medical portal and the platform for assessing and developing emotional intelligence Way2Wey). Also, during the acceleration, the project team held promising meetings with investors and passed the Skolkovo Fast Track program.

I tested the scaling hypothesis in SMB of the "sBoard" project, which relied on cooperation with large corporate customers. The team negotiated a number of new deals with market leaders.

The Velkid startup was able not only to scale sales and the team, but also to negotiate with several investors, including VK Group.

Natalia Tsarevskaya-Dyakina, Director of the Edtech Hub of the Skolkovo Foundation: "Developing your startup at the present time is the hero's way: the speed and depth of changes, economic difficulties, the "venture winter" - an abbreviated list of what an innovative project actually faces. At the same time, the Ed- and HRTech market showed growth in 2022 and demand in the import substitution segment. More than 30% of the Russian population is covered by online education, and this format is a third higher than offline coverage. New technologies and approaches continue to emerge even in long-occupied niches, and Edtech has become a full-fledged part of all segments of education."

Scientists have created nanostructures that will bring the appearance of video calls in hologram format

The development of Russian researchers will make it possible to speed up signal transmission in devices tenfold

MOSCOW, August 9. /Corr. TASS Ekaterina Zamakhina/. Russian researchers have developed optical nanoantennas based on thin films of gold, which will speed up signal transmission in devices tenfold. Their introduction will bring closer the emergence of such functions as communication of people via video link in the format of holograms, the press service of the Platform of the National Technology Initiative (NTI) told TASS.

"Scientists of the Competence Center of the National Technology Initiative "Photonics" on the basis of the Perm State National Research University, companies that are members of the consortium of the center and Alferov University have developed optical nanoantennas based on thin films of gold, which are the basis of chips for photonic-electronic circuits will speed up data transmission in devices tenfold. One of the practical implementations of the use of new generation chips is the emergence of a video call function that allows subscribers to see holograms during a conversation - three-dimensional images of each other," the NTI Platform said.

The created nanostructures convert an electrical signal into an optical signal. The authors created them by exposing thin films of gold with ultrashort laser pulses. The finished material is somewhat reminiscent of a blister pack for tablets.

"We placed arrays of such blisters in the chamber of a high-vacuum tunneling microscope, where < ... > an interesting physical phenomenon has been studied - inelastic tunneling of electrons. New experiments have shown that in the presence of blisters-nanoantennas, the efficiency of such a transformation increases significantly. At the same time, the wavelength ("color") of optical radiation can be controlled by adjusting the magnitude of the applied electrical voltage, as well as varying the period of location of nanostructures, "the press service of the organization quotes the words of Professor Ivan Mukhin of Alferov University.

Scientists expect that the efficiency and compatibility of the development with the components of existing electronics will make it popular. Specialists from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, St. Petersburg State University, ITMO University, the Institute of Analytical Instrumentation, the Institute of Automation and Control Processes of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the FEFU Pacific Quantum Center also took part in the study."

Since the end of May of this year, many Runet users have complained about periodic abnormal malfunctions and restrictions on access to the popular OpenVPN VPN protocol. Apparently, then the problem affected primarily mobile operators, access to OpenVPN through which was impossible in principle, or it "fell off" soon after the connection was established. Since then, protocol locks have appeared and disappeared.
...
Representatives of Terona VPN reported that their customers also faced difficulties in using VPNs, especially from mobile devices. According to the developers, access interruptions are caused by a new wave of blocking by Roskomnadzor, in connection with which the service's specialists are already preparing to switch to more lock-resistant protocols in order to ensure a reliable connection for their users.

Найден метод получения магнитных наночастиц для терапии различных форм рака

Проект Университета МИСИС победил в конкурсе "Студенческий стартап" Минобрнауки России

A method has been found for obtaining magnetic nanoparticles for the treatment of various forms of cancer

The project of MISIS University won the competition "Student Startup" of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia

MOSCOW, August 8. 2023. Scientists from the MISIS University of Science and Technology have proposed a new technology for producing nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia, a promising way to treat cancer. The new method will make it possible to create substances with specially selected properties for the treatment of different types of tumors, the press service of the university reported.

In magnetic hyperthermia treatment, nanoparticles are injected into the tumor tissue and heated to 43-45 degrees Celsius using an external alternating magnetic field. This leads to the destruction of cancer cells, while the surrounding healthy cells are not damaged. The properties of the most common agents for magnetic hyperthermia - nanoparticles based on magnetite or maghemite - practically do not change, and it is quite difficult to "tune" them to fight different types of tumors.

Scientists at MISIS University have proposed to produce nanomaterials with magnetic characteristics based on strontium hexaferrite with the addition of indium. The technology will make it possible to create agents with properties tailored to the individual conditions for the treatment of various forms of cancerous tumors.

"Indium doping made it possible to change the magnetic properties of strontium hexaferrite over a wide range and adapt them so that the material is heated in alternating fields used in the magnetic hyperthermia method and heated to temperatures sufficient for therapy. The method we use can be scaled up to tens of grams of the final product, while the most common methods currently yield the product only in milligrams," the press service quoted Polina Nikolenko, co-author of the study, a graduate of the Master's program at the Institute of New Materials at MISIS University, as saying.

The project for the production of agents for magnetic hyperthermia won the competition "Student Startup" of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia in the category "New Materials and Chemical Technologies".

In the future, the team of scientists plans to work out the technology and obtain a larger number of samples with different degrees of doping. The end result will be a prototype of the technology that can be scaled for real-world use.

Scientists have created a sensor for continuous monitoring of cardiac activity in cardiac patients

NOVOSIBIRSK, August 5, 2023. Specialists from the Saratov State Technical University and the Institute for Problems of Precision Mechanics and Control of the Russian Academy of Sciences have developed a heart monitor, which, due to its small size and autonomous operation, can be worn constantly to monitor the work of the heart. The device signals pathologies, allowing you to reduce the risk of heart attacks, said TASS in the press service of the Platform of the National Technology Initiative (NTI).

"The small size of the device, which allows you to wear it almost permanently, as well as the ability to function without connecting to a smartphone, make the development unique and unparalleled in the Russian market. Artificial intelligence in the device itself carries out predictive analysis, while retaining the possibility of conducting a retrospective analysis," the NTI Platform said.

The main part of the device in the form of a small container can be hung on a belt, and four sensors are mounted on the body. Unlike gel and rubber electrodes, Russian-designed sensors are made of titanium, a hypoallergenic material.

Young TSU Scientists Create Blood Vessels of Increased Reliability

Young scientists from the Laboratory of Superelastic Interfaces of Tomsk State University won a grant from the Foundation for the Promotion of Innovation for the implementation of a project to create artificial blood vessels. Along with increased elasticity and hyperelasticity, the new structures will have high strength, since they will be based on metal knitted meshes made of titanium nickelide. This will prevent the development of an aneurysm and other conditions that are dangerous for the patient.
...
It should be added that implants manufactured by TSU scientists from metal nickelide-titanium mesh have already been introduced into surgical practice. They have proven to be highly effective and highly biocompatible. Thus, a "soft" implant made of metal knitwear was used to restore the mobility of the patient's face during a radical operation to remove a malignant tumor. In the near future, hyperelastic and superelastic materials are planned to be introduced into the pediatric practice of pediatric reconstructive surgery. One of the main advantages of the materials created at TSU is that they can "grow" with the child.

For reference: The TSU Laboratory of Superelastic Biointerfaces was created with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation to solve complex scientific problems in the field of medical materials science. The main directions of the laboratory's work: fundamental and applied research, the development of advanced biocompatible materials for the replacement of soft and hard tissue defects arising from injuries, acquired diseases or congenital pathologies.

Имплантаты из металлотрикотажа успешно прижились у лабораторных животных — Лаборатория сверхэластичных биоинтерфейсов

Implants made of metal knitwear have successfully taken root in laboratory animals

Scientists of Tomsk State University, with the support of a megagrant from the Government of the Russian Federation, have developed new materials for closing various defects of soft tissues - skin, muscles, blood vessel walls, tendons, ligaments, internal organs. Recently, scientists have successfully conducted in vivo preclinical trials involving laboratory animals. The implants were placed in rats. Regeneration processes began in two weeks. Such implants will help people close defects in congenital abnormalities and injuries.
...
"During the growth of animals and weight gain after 30 days, histological examination and electron microscopy showed that the rough microporous structure of the TiNi wire, as well as the biomechanical behavior of the two-layer metal knitwear, ensure optimal integration of the endoprosthesis in the tissues of the body, forming an elastic framework close to the natural one," says Ekaterina Marchenko, head of the TSU Laboratory of Superelastic Biointerfaces. - Two-layer metal knitwear made of titanium nickelide showed very good results. Clinical trials will soon begin at the Department of General Surgery of the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg. Recently, they were given biointerfaces, which will be implanted in patients with their voluntary consent.

Способ ученых ТГУ позволит оптимально сочетать импланты и биоткани — Лаборатория сверхэластичных биоинтерфейсов

The method of TSU scientists will make it possible to optimally combine implants and biological tissues
...
The main problem of reconstructive surgery, which uses modern materials to close tissue defects, is implant rejection.
...
It was possible to solve the problem through modeling. With its help, TSU scientists have developed a unique method that made it possible to assess the biomechanical similarity of materials that are different in structure, but similar in behavior. The new tool made it possible to classify materials and a number of biological tissues.

"Now we know exactly what parameters they have," says Ekaterina Marchenko, head of the TSU Laboratory of Superelastic Biointerfaces. - For example, we know for sure that a mesh with a thickness of 60 micrometers fits the muscles, and 45 micrometers fits the skin. This method has been tested on laboratory animals. Experiments have shown that our model works effectively. A new approach is already being introduced into practice by Tomsk surgeons.
...
The next stage, which will have to go through the unique development of TSU scientists, is to obtain a registration certificate for the mass implementation of the method.

Nanosensors have been created in Russia to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy

Nanosensors to control the concentration of doxorubicin, a common substance for chemotherapy of malignant tumors, were created by SSU scientists. According to them, the development will reduce the side effects of treatment by adjusting the dose of the drug, taking into account the characteristics of the patient's body. The results are published in the journal Biosensors.

...
Sensors are quantum dots, the radiation of light which falls when interacting with the molecules of the drug.
...
The developed quantum dots, that is, semiconductor nanoparticles, have a special surface modification to bind the maximum volume of doxorubicin molecules, the university said.

"The intensity of the glow of quantum dots decreases with increasing concentration of doxorubicin, which makes it possible to monitor the level of the drug in the blood of patients during chemotherapy cycles in real time," said Svetlana Meshcheryakova, co-author of the work, a student at the Institute of Chemistry of SSU.

Equipment for such analysis, according to experts, is present in almost any medical laboratory in Russia.

In the future, the research team plans to expand the range of anticancer drugs, the concentration of which can be controlled using new nanosensors.

The research is carried out within the framework of the grant of the Russian Science Foundation No. 21-73-10046. The direction is included in the strategic project of SSU "Chemistry and New Materials" of the "Priority-2030" program.

The new digital platform will accelerate interaction with the regions on the national project "Housing and Urban Environment"

08.08.2023
Thanks to the created platform, the task of modernizing and simplifying the process of obtaining subsidies for state programs by regions will be solved.

"The new platform will four times speed up the submission of documents by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for participation in a number of state programs within the framework of the national project "Housing and Urban Environment". Not only colleagues from the regions benefit from its use, who will save both time and money, but also the ministry itself by reducing the complexity of the task of analyzing and summarizing the documents and data provided. The introduction of the system will further optimize the processes of interdepartmental cooperation, thanks to the automated collection of information, its further structuring and evaluation," commented State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing of the Russian Federation Yuri Mutsenek.

The new service was created by the Project Directorate of the Ministry of Construction of Russia, which has been accompanying the formation of programs since 2022, based on the Smart City automated information system used by the department since 2021 to collect reports of the Smart City project, calculate the IQ of cities index and hold the Best Municipal Practice competition.

"The advantage of the new service is that there is no need to submit applications in paper form, since the verification of the entered data and the signing of the application is carried out directly in the system using an electronic digital signature. Previously, the regions were required to collect a package of documents and sign an application at three levels (municipality, regional ministry and the highest official of the subject). In addition, it is now much more convenient to submit an application: the platform has an intuitive user interface, and thanks to integration with other information systems, many data are filled in automatically, for example, individual characteristics of the object are pulled up from the conclusion of the State Expertise, "said Dina Safiullina, head of the Project Directorate of the Ministry of Construction of Russia.

Basic billions. The government of the Russian Federation has allocated 12 billion rubles for the creation of 5G

The Russian government will allocate 12 billion rubles for the development of 5G networks in the country and the creation of base stations for mobile operators, of which 3.5 billion will be allocated by the government in 2023.

08.08.2023
...
According to the government of the Russian Federation, work on the creation of Russian base stations to replace foreign ones, the supply of which was suspended after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine (SMO), is being carried out on behalf of the president as part of the roadmap "Modern and Promising Mobile Networks" until 2030.

On July 28, 2023, Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on the allocation of 3.399 billion rubles as a subsidy to the limited liability company KNS GROUP (Yadro) to reimburse the costs of creating a subsystem of base stations of the GSM / LTE / NR (5G) standard for public communication networks, including using the Russian electronic component base.
...
According to him, by the end of 2023, the average level of technological readiness of developments should be 2.8-2.9, while level 9 means that the equipment is in mass production. Yadro will have to deliver the first domestic base stations to operators in 2025.

"In December 2022, forward contracts were signed with telecom operators for the supply of equipment. We are developing equipment for communication networks, in 2025 we plan the first deliveries of ready-made base stations," the representative of the Yadro press service emphasized.
...

Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group, recalled that, in addition to Yadro, Skoltech, Bulat (Rostelecom), Spektr (Rostec) and the Radio Research Institute are involved in the implementation of the roadmap for the creation of 5G base stations.

“On October 16, 2014 at the office of the Russian Venture Company (RVC), an expert seminar “The Neuronet Roadmap” was held with the participation of Stephen Dunn, director of Starlab Neuroscience Research; Karen Casey, creator of the Global Mind Project; Randal A. Kuhne, CEO of the Science Foundation Carboncopies.org and the founder of NeuraLink Co. ..
...
[…]the world’s leading experts in the field of neuroscience and members of the Russian Neuronet group discussed neuroscience and neurotechnology – one of the most relevant areas of research.

The seminar participants said that applied solutions in this area are developing at an accelerated pace. With the help of implanted electrodes, the monkey can already control two independent moving targets. New neural interfaces are just around the corner: scientists turn neurons on and off using light signals and can read information from them and transmit signals to them, introducing neural dust into the brain – the smallest crystals, no larger than 5 microns. All these achievements promise breakthroughs in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in the development of auditory and visual prostheses.
...
Neurotechnologies affect the sphere of entertainment, the education system, approaches to the management of industry and trade. But the most important result of a scientific and technological breakthrough in the field of neuroscience is the achievement of a new quality in communications. The modern Internet transmits information and even semantics, but is powerless in transmitting emotions and the unconscious. The Neuronet is the next generation of the Internet, which will use neural interfaces to create new types of communication between people and machines. By linking hundreds or, in the future, even billions of intelligences into a neurocomputer network, it will be possible to achieve a synergistic effect in their joint work, since the brain has the property of plasticity. Perhaps, in the era of the Neuronet, people will finally agree on solving the world’s problems, because an environment will appear that will help overcome the usual human distortions of thinking and perception. New opportunities will open up in teamwork and improving the effectiveness of educational programs.
....
And Pavel Luksha, Ph.D. in Economics, professor at the Skolkovo Business School, Director of Global Education Futures, one of the co-founders of the Russian Neuronet Group, is most confident in this.
...
He believes that in the modern world, many problems arise due to the fact that people cannot agree with each other on the joint use of certain resources. The Neuronet – through the organization of a kind of “collective mind” – will help to solve these problems.

Since it is a Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this news of the discovery must necessarily reach the ears of Professor Klimenko. Then he will probably change his mind.

Академик РАН: Глобальное потепление можно остановить путем сокращения населения

Остановить глобальное потепление возможно в том случае, если рост численности населения замедлится в течение 25-50 лет, считает академик РАН, профессор, ведущий эксперт центра компетенций НИТУ МИСИС Александр Клименко.

Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Global warming can be stopped by reducing the population

It is possible to stop global warming if population growth slows down within 25-50 years, says Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor, leading expert of the NUST MISIS Competence Center Alexander Klimenko.

The expert recalled that at the conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention, The Glasgow Climate Pact was adopted, which is designed to keep the increase in global average temperature well below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels from 1850 to 1900, as well as the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees. According to Klimenko, the pact will not be able to achieve these goals.

The academician noted that the Warsaw Declaration of 2013 "on the fastest possible" reduction of CO2 emissions was not so successful. The gap between the achieved decarbonization index (the process of removing carbon from an alloy or other material) and the necessary increases annually, so such a program in the Glasgow package will not be completed within the specified period, the specialist stressed in an interview with the Gazeta.Ru.

Another important factor in slowing down the process of global warming is the reduction of methane emissions. However, according to the expert, it will also not be effective, since the poorest countries, where the population is growing rapidly, will negate the efforts of the world community to limit emissions.

In addition, the Glasgow Pact talks about stopping the loss of forests by 2030 and restoring them. At the same time, young trees cannot absorb carbon in the same amount as adult trees.

"The world community has no real opportunities to limit the temperature rise within 2 degrees and even more so 1.5 degrees. These opportunities will not become available if the growth of the world's population is not suspended during the life of the current or next generation," the academician summed up.

Earlier, Yulia Zyulyaeva, a researcher at the Laboratory of Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction and Climate Change Monitoring at the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that due to global warming, the climate in the middle part of Russia will become more and more extreme, as the Parliamentary Newspaper wrote. In summer, temperature indicators will more often be at abnormally high values, and in winter — at zero. An increase in tornadoes is possible.

It will probably no longer be necessary for the official state portal to inform us of the urgent need for population reduction.

Also, probably Tatyana Zavyalova, and the entire long-term ESG program of Sberbank, will end in the near future. Lets remember part of what she said at the end of last year.

Сбер: Зелёному финтеху в России нужны отечественные решения и формирование собственного углеродного рынка

Sberbank: Green fintech in Russia needs domestic solutions and the formation of its own carbon market
November 14, 2022

Green fintech is part of the "big fintech" and is developing rapidly: according to experts, last year the volume of investments in the world reached 210 billion dollars. With such a high global pace of development, green fintech in Russia lacks domestic solutions, which in turn are still due to insufficient market demand. This was stated by Tatiana Zavyalova, Senior Vice President for ESG of Sberbank, at the section "Digitalization and the climate agenda" of the FINOPOLIS forum. During the discussion, big data for assessing climate risks, digital solutions in the sustainable financing market and prospects for the development of green fintech in new realities were discussed.

As Tatiana Zavyalova noted, ESG parameters are gradually becoming an integral part of scoring and credit models and are beginning to directly affect the provision of financing. However, in the future, another scenario is also possible, when green fintech will focus exclusively on applied tasks, such as reducing energy costs, switching to renewable energy sources and responsible consumption.

According to the speaker, the request for ESG today comes not only from business, but also from its customers: so, in the Savings Bank, the number of ESG-oriented customers has doubled and reached almost 15 million people. According to Tatiana Zavyalova, the Savings Bank plans to offer ESG customers special products with an ESG component, for example, a green mortgage. The bank has already developed a carbon calculator that calculates a user's personal carbon footprint based on their transportation expenses. In the future, with the help of a calculator, each person will be able to independently calculate the amount of carbon that he produces due to daily activities. And the next logical step for Sber is solutions that will help customers compensate for their personal carbon footprint.

As for corporate clients, as Tatiana Zavyalova noted, stable credit products are already built into the standard credit process of the bank, green marking takes place within the framework of automated banking systems. ...
..
The Forum of Innovative Financial Technologies FINOPOLIS is held by the Bank of Russia in partnership with the leaders of the IT and financial market and has become the country's largest platform for discussing and analyzing trends and opportunities for the use of modern digital technologies in the financial sector. The mission of FINOPOLIS is to promote the introduction of innovative technologies in the financial sector of the Russian Federation. "

It will no longer be necessary, in the future, to apply calculation and reduce the personal carbon footprint humans leave on the climate. I guess.

Глава Курчатовского института ожидает роста смертности от ковида до 90%

По словам Михаила Ковальчука, от нового варианта коронавируса будут умирать 9 из 10 заболевших

The head of the Kurchatov Institute expects an increase in mortality from covid to 90%

According to Mikhail Kovalchuk, 9 out of 10 patients will die from the new version of the coronavirus

MOSCOW, November 11. The coronavirus variant with a mortality rate of 90% may become a new threat that humanity will face in the future. This opinion was expressed on Friday at the forum of innovative financial technologies Finopolis 2022 by the president of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” Mikhail Kovalchuk.

“The atomic era has passed, and the atomic umbrella that saves us today is decaying. Because they will kill you and me in another way. A covid with a mortality rate of 90% will come, where 9 out of 10 cases will die, and that will be the end of it. <…> Bio-hazard has become the main one,” Kovalchuk said.

He called cyber threats the second significant challenge. However, unlike biological ones, it is possible to cope with them by turning off the “switch”, the scientist believes.

“But you can’t do anything about bio-hazard. The Americans have surrounded us in all the republics with biological laboratories. They can first make endemic viruses that destroy livestock, undermine agriculture. Here, the African swine fever is man-made, I can tell you in detail. Therefore, we must understand that today [there are] new challenges,” he also explained. "

"To name a few," as many journalists like to use this cliche, of the things that will no longer be necessary to reduce/neutralize human influence on the climate, which now, as Glaziev and the council say, is not a factor. I love it and look forward to the development.

"yesterday [12.08.2023] at 14:30
In Moscow, in the "Boiling Point-Commune" space of NUST MISIS, the projects of popular science films "Laboratories of Scientific Cinema 2.0" were pitched. 26 novice and experienced Russian directors took part.
The project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.

The projects were developed jointly with scientists from Skoltech and the Faculty of Chemistry of Lomonosov Moscow State University. One of them was together with a Ural scientist from the Institute of Animal and Plant Ecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
All film scripts are united by a single theme: ecology and reasonable consumption.

The experts of the Laboratory have selected 10 projects, they will receive grants for shooting short films. The works will be collected in the film almanac, which will premiere in Moscow in February next year. Also in the spring of 2024, residents of the regions will see it.

"The laboratory is, first of all, a creative environment, networking and high expertise," says Yulia Kiseleva, co-founder and artistic director of the project. - This is the popularization of both science and popular science cinema, which, we hope, will be more and more every year. It is important for us that the films, firstly, pass the examination of scientists, and secondly, be made at a high artistic level."

The electronic nose is a multifunctional technology of the future that will help humanity in preserving its own health and the environment. But today it is still a very young development and is too dependent on a person. Scientists are working to release the electronic nose from the walls of the laboratory into the real world. So what prevents the electronic nose from becoming a part of our lives?

13:40 Daria Artyushkova "Let there be LED"

In the green thicket, under a layer of moss, white LED bulbs make their way out of the ground ... on the one hand, this is a hint at their ubiquity, on the other hand, the question: how do LED technologies relate to nature?

13:50 Artur Sukhonin "Superfly"

In the future, where there is an ecological crisis and famine, a group of biologists is trying to bring out a new source of food - a modified fly, but is faced with public rejection - a superstitious fear of genetic engineering.

14:00 Ksenia Kazazayeva "Phoenix"

At Skoltech, a revolutionary battery is born that can turn all the light around us into energy. But there is a paradox: the Sun not only gives life to the invention, but also kills it. Will scientists be able to launch the time of new energy?

14:10 Nelya Mursalimova "The Invisible Side"

Scientists from the Laboratory of Dosimetry and Radioactivity of Moscow State University are looking for difficult-to-detect radionuclides in abiotic environmental objects of the Far East.

15:30 Nastasya Simbirtseva "Operation "Isotope separation" and other adventures of radiochemists"

If nuclear fuel can be used 10 times in a row, it will immediately solve the problem of carbon dioxide emissions, which means global warming. But is humanity ready for such an active use of nuclear energy? As a person born one kilometer from a nuclear power plant, I know that one of the main obstacles is radiophobia.

15:40 Denis Tarasov "The Flower of Hercules"

Hogweed, which lived a peaceful life in subalpine meadows, was taken away by people who did not know about its danger. The mountains were his prison, and, having escaped to freedom, he began to win back their land from people ...

Humanity has faced famine throughout its history. And if scientists cannot stop the political and economic factors of hunger, then there seems to be a solution to stop its biological factor - drought.

16:00 Olesya Korepanova "Difficult life "nya"

In Taimyr there is a vanishing people - the Nganasans. According to the latest data, there are only 693 of them left on the entire planet. Today, the life of this northern people directly depends on the environment. And after the 20,000 tons of diesel fuel spilled in Taimyr in 2020, it became more difficult for the Nganasans to get their own food. Scientists from Moscow State University, with the help of their invention, are trying to get rid of oil in soils in order to improve the ecological situation of Taimyr.

16:10 Denis Danilov "H2E SEE H2A H2EFT"

Our civilization is designed in such a way that in order to live well, you need to consume more oil. But is there a real alternative to "dirty" energy? A group of Skoltech scientists has developed an innovative way to produce hydrogen that does not pollute the atmosphere, does not lead to the greenhouse effect and can become a green alternative to gasoline.

16:20 Anna Ovsyanik "Battle for the future: 10 nanometers vs 10 tons"

Each of us leaves behind about 10 tons of garbage annually. The situation is critical, we need a superhero. Carbon nanotruka is incredibly thin, only 10 nanometers, but incredibly strong. Will it be able to make materials more durable and thereby reduce the amount of waste we produce? This question will be answered by a group of Skoltech scientists led by Sergey Abaimov, Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics.

Against the backdrop of the growing popularity of the topic of "chipping" and people's fears of becoming controlled by artificial intelligence, the filmmakers find five dramatic stories where the "chip in the head" is a vital necessity. In medicine, this is called an "implant", it is used to restore hearing for the deaf, remove tremor in patients with parkinsonism, stop epileptic seizures and treat dystonia.

"May 24, 19:00, Far Eastern University
Yana - cyborg
Stand-Up Show!"

What the scientific discoveries of recent decades lead to, whether it is possible to control people with the help of such technologies and what neuroethical questions arise in connection with their use - world-class neurophysiologists discuss these topics in the film: Alexander Kaplan (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia), Mikhail Lebedev (Skoltech, Russia), Jonathan Wolpaw (National Center for Adaptive Neurotechnologies, USA) and others.

One of the main heroes on the film and neurosurgeon Artur Biktimirov.

Among other things, the film solves the important problem of destigmatizing cyborg people and ridding society of technophobia.

- One simple operation - the installation of a cochlear implant - can radically change the life of a child born deaf: he acquires hearing and the ability to develop like ordinary children. The problem is that many parents are afraid to implant a foreign body into the child's head and deprive him of this opportunity, "says one of the heroines.

The film's director, Yulia Kiseleva, plans that the premieres of the film will be held in Moscow and Vladivostok:

- The film was shot in Moscow, Vladivostok and on Russky Island. The Far Eastern University helped us a lot. We filmed at the FEFU medical center and on the university campus. For example, we organized a stand-up in a university café: our heroine, Yana Linkevich, at that time a FEFU student, went out to the public to talk about her "cyborgism". Yana has a neurostimulator in her brain and a baclofen pump in her stomach. I thought it would be more interesting to frame this story as a speech, and not just in the form of a banal interview. Yana wrote the text, we called the students, and it turned out to be a very lively and emotional episode.

"Chip Inside Me" is produced with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

There are 40 million blind people in the world. Scientists and physicians are developing technologies that restore vision. Two heroes of the film were able to see with the help of a chip in the retina of the eye. Scientists have gone further: before our eyes, the Elvis implant for the visual cortex of the brain is being tested. Dramatic stories in the film alternate with scientific conversations about the structure and meaning of vision.

"Robot, do I love you?"

2021, 56 / 60 min.
Children assemble a puzzle under the guidance of a robot, one of the heroes has been living with a synthetic woman for 20 years, the second assures that he himself is a cyborg... Pushing aside the usual story about technology for such popular science films, the film brings to the fore the topic of relations and interaction between people and robots. Among the heroes-scientists are not only roboticists, but also psychologists. Why do anthropomorphic robots cause fear? Can we live with them as full partners? And where is the boundary between a robot and a human?

The film starred famous scientists: neurophysiologist, professor Mikhail Lebedev (Russia (HSE, Skoltech) - USA (Duke University)), cognitive psychologist, doctor of psychology Maria Falikman (HSE), psychologist, family psychotherapist Maria Travkova, linguist Artemy Kotov (Russian State University for the Humanities, Kurchatov Institute) and others.

"Brain. Evolution"

2019, 86 min.

"Brain. Evolution" is a continuation of the film "Brain. The Second Universe". The film starred famous scientists: neurophysiologist Mikhail Lebedev, neuroscientists Alexander Kaplan and Vasily Klyucharev, cognitive psychologist Maria Falikman, neuropharmacologist Raul Gainetdinov, philosopher Danil Razeev and others.

The authors not only conducted a dozen experiments for the film and plunged into the world of the latest technologies, but also raised philosophical questions. Scientists argue and ponder. Will we ever be able to understand how the brain works, defeat Parkinson's disease, and enable paralyzed people to interact with the outside world? How does knowledge about the brain change life and our ideas about the world, about freedom, about ourselves? And where does evolution lead us?

What is the human brain? An organ of the central nervous system, a supercomputer or a host that controls a person's life? The authors began to make a film about modern brain research in search of an answer to the questions: can I control my behavior, my physiology, my consciousness, or am I completely dependent on a neural network? The film's heroes — scientists and people who come to their attention — give different answers, unraveling the complex mechanisms of how our brains function.

Преимущества и перспективы цифрового рубля: комментирует эксперт Школы СКОЛКОВО

Банк России запустит пилотный проект по цифровому рублю на реальных операциях уже 15 августа. О том, какие возможности есть у этого финансового инструмента, рассказал старший преподаватель, руководитель лаборатории блокчейн и финтех Школы управления СКОЛКОВО Егор Кривошея.

www.skolkovo.ru

The Bank of Russia will launch a pilot project on the digital ruble on real transactions on August 15. Egor Krivosheya, Senior Lecturer, Head of the Blockchain and Fintech Laboratory at the SKOLKOVO School of Management, spoke about the opportunities available to this financial instrument

...
The most noticeable benefits of the digital ruble are for the state, but all users have benefits, Yegor Krivosheya believes.
...
"I would say that this is a stage in the calm evolution of payment services and the transition to a more modern infrastructure. In the face of international restrictions, CBDCs can also provide cross-border payments without being tied to the current international infrastructure."

According to various surveys, from 15 to 50% of Russians are ready to give a chance to the digital ruble. [?!

]
...
At the same time, Egor notes, the level of digitalization and innovation of payment services in Russia is quite high, so these benefits for the consumer may not be so noticeable.

Smart contracts that will be used in the digital ruble can only be set up by the owner of the platform, that is, the Bank of Russia, Yegor explained:

"Hypothetically, anyone with the skills of a programmer can propose changes to a smart contract, but only the owner of the platform can write it down, since the system is closed and private. Again, hypothetically, it is possible to configure the system so that such smart contracts can be configured by users, " he argues.

The vast majority of countries are already thinking about a central bank digital currency (CBDC). About 15 countries now have pilot programs for the introduction of a digital national currency, and 24 countries are at the proof-of-concept stage. About 90 countries are exploring the possibilities of CBDC.

The most advanced project is in China, where the digital yuan has already moved from the piloting stage to mass use and is expanding its turnover weekly. In addition to China, the Bahamas, Nigeria and Jamaica are quite active in CBDCs, where the digital currency is designed to solve current macroeconomic challenges, including high inflation rates and dependence on international currencies.
...
CBDCs can reduce the impact of the current global financial infrastructure, including financial messaging systems (SWIFT) and reserve currencies, as well as international payment systems, by connecting central banks directly to each other. In this sense, CBDC is a project that can create an alternative to current payments, but the final form of CBDC in different countries, including Russia, will depend on the results of experiments and testing. The digital ruble project is currently one of the most advanced in terms of both technical functionality and stage of development, which may allow Russia to become a leader in the introduction of digital currency."

Improving Lasers: ITMO Scientists Suggest a New Way to Couple Light and Matter
A new approach has been suggested at ITMO to enhance interaction of light and matter during metamaterials production. Compared to conventional methods, the novel approach requires less precision and relies on cheaper equipment, while producing more compact and sensitive lasers. The study was described in an article published in Nano Letters.

“We are planning to continue our research and apply the new approach to circularly polarized light – in those cases when the electromagnetic field moves along a spiral instead of a straight line. This light interacts well with molecules curled into spirals. Depending on the direction of the spiral, a substance made of the same molecules can be a poison or a medication for humans, which is why it is important to be able to tell them apart. If we can create such metasurfaces that maintain the electromagnetic light spiraling in only one direction, we will be able to tell these molecules apart. This will be highly useful in sensorics,” shared Mikhail Rybin, an author of the paper and a senior researcher at ITMO’s Faculty of Physics.

This research project is supported by the Russian Science Foundation.

ELECTRON FROM THE NEEDLE: HOW TO CREATE A NEW GENERATION OF "SMART" FABRICS
11 AUGUST 2023

Modern technologies have made many household items familiar to us "wiser up" - watches, plasters, cars, entire houses and even cities. What about clothes? One that, for example, determines the heart rate or regulates the temperature depending on weather conditions. How far have Russian scientists progressed in this direction?

Olga Moskalyuk, Head of the SmartTextiles Laboratory of Polymer and Composite Materials of the ICC "Coherent X-ray Optics for Megascience Installations" of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Associate Professor of the Department of Engineering Materials Science and Metrology of St. Petersburg State University of Technology and Technology, spoke about this in an interview with the nauka.rf portal.

– What are "smart" fabrics?

These are materials in which electronics are embedded. In this area, three generations can be distinguished. The first is when electronic components (for example, microcircuits, sensors, sensors) are sewn or placed in the pockets of clothes. But it lacks important features - flexibility and resistance to washing.

However, today we can talk about the presence of a second generation, when these elements are part of the textile. Electronic components can be applied using the technology of printed electronics, silk-screen printing (screen printing). Or woven into the structure of the fabric.
...
- And what materials belong to the third generation?

When creating them, digital technologies are used. Such fabrics can collect and process data, include elements of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and integrate into the virtual universe. When clothes can interact with other appliances in our environment, we're talking about the Internet of Things.

For example, the domestic company Mircod has created a "smart" uniform for harsh working conditions in production. Built-in sensors determine the heart rate, temperature, position of the body in space, analyze the concentration of gases in the air. We are also now developing fabrics with electronics integrated into them.
...
–Impressive! How long does it take to create a new product?

The fact is that the materials obtained in the laboratory can not always be implemented on industrial equipment. According to global statistics, it takes ten or even twenty years from an idea to a product to enter the market. Today, the serial technology entrepreneurship approach helps to reduce this gap to five years.

Having started creating synthetic electrically conductive filaments, we were in the laboratory stage for ten years. Having moved into the ecosystem of the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs, having received support from the North-West Center for Technology Transfer, in four years we launched several startups, established our own production and brought a number of products to the market.

- What do these products look like and in what areas are they used?

Our key area is electrically conductive functional textiles. It is used in the creation of antistatic materials that provide protection against ignition in production. For example, in the oil and gas industry or when transporting flammable goods.

Research began with this direction. Having immersed ourselves in the topic, we realized that it is possible to create not just antistatic materials, but also full-fledged electrically conductive composites for the textile industry that can replace metal conductors. We have introduced them into fabric heating systems for technical and domestic use in the fields of air, sea and land transport, construction, creation of household furniture, clothing, etc.

In addition, the solutions were in demand in the harsh climate of the Arctic and Antarctic. In particular, we have developed a flexible, elastic fabric that is washable, while being a metal-free heating element. Such "heaters" are charged from a simple portable battery and can maintain a comfortable body temperature in extreme conditions.

Now we are implementing cases in new areas. Among them are antibacterial, thermoregulatory fabrics, color-coded textiles and scaffolds for bone reconstructive surgery.

- Last year, the first plant for the production of "smart" textiles was built in Kaliningrad. How is it used?

It belongs to AMPERETEX, a company engaged in the production of a full cycle of synthetic heating fabrics. They are built into any structures - from ceramic plates, walls, ceilings, to the road surface. In April 2022, the opening of this plant took place in the Khrabrovo industrial park. Today, the company is an industrial partner of the SmartTextiles laboratory of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University.

- What difficulties, in your opinion, prevent the mass implementation of such developments?

Unfortunately, investments in the textile industry and the production of new materials are not as large as in the IT sector. The issue of regular and stable financial support is important.

I would like to note that we are creating technologies that, as they develop, pull up other industries. With each new idea, we discover a new direction. I was fortunate to work with talented fellow scientists, leading universities and institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There are a lot of young guys in our team, and most importantly, there are industrial partners who help scale solutions.

Thanks to the accumulated knowledge and experience, in September this year, we will launch an additional education program on digital modeling of new polymer composite materials at the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design. Classes are suitable not only for students, graduate students, but also experienced professionals. Participants will learn how to quickly and correctly model products, which in the future will reduce costs and time for its development.

The first All-Russian project and educational program on the adaptation of regions to climate change has been launched
11 August 2023

35 regions have started training under the program of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), aimed at improving the effectiveness of management teams in responding to climate change. The modular design and educational program involves the study of the best international and Russian experience in this direction, as well as the joint development of specific adaptation projects with experts.

"We understand that climate change directly affects the socio-economic development of territories, so climate adaptation issues should become part of the socio-economic strategies of the regions. The program that we are launching is aimed at consciously approaching the analysis of the risks faced by the regions and developing practical solutions to reduce the damage from these climate changes," said Maxim Evdokimov, Director of the Ecology Division of ASI.

In March of this year, the Russian government identified measures to adapt to climate change until 2025. The plan contains 17 activities, which are grouped into federal, sectoral and regional blocks. They provide organizational, legal, scientific, methodological and information support for the necessary adaptation measures.

"Adaptation to climate change is a relatively new story for the regions, they needed to quickly immerse themselves in a rather specific topic, but in general, most of the subjects coped, adaptation plans were adopted," said Irina Petrunina, Director of the Department of Competition, Energy Efficiency and Ecology of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

Now we need to determine the first steps, and then what kind of federal and industry assistance is needed in their implementation. In addition, in the future, the Russian climate monitoring system, which is being created with the participation of 42 scientific organizations, will become a new source for updating plans. "It will be our own model of climate change at any given point in the world and the impact of these changes on the economy. That is, the topic of adaptation is not static, it is constantly evolving. The training, which is being launched today, will provide an opportunity, among other things, to exchange experience of still small, but already existing developments in adaptation, taking into account current changes," said Irina Petrunina.

The ASI educational program consists of four modules. Participants who successfully defend their projects will receive a diploma of professional retraining from the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (program operator).

During the training, teams will learn about the main climate changes and their causes, get acquainted with Russian legislation in the field of climate change, climate change scenarios and approaches to climate risk assessment. Each team will form priority adaptation projects for the region, which will take into account financing tools and technologies for their implementation.

The brain-computer interface will speed up the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke
JULY 31

Scientists from the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU), the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and the Lomonosov Moscow State University studied brain activity in healthy people who performed the task of controlling the movements of the virtual limb using mental commands sent using the brain-computer interface. Observing the movements of the virtual hand causes the activation of parts of the brain involved in predicting and controlling one's own movements. Thus, the interface will help restore sensorimotor neural connections damaged due to stroke. The results of the study are published in the journal Frontiers.

More than 400,000 new cases of stroke are registered annually in Russia. Only 10% of patients tolerate a stroke relatively easily, for the rest, the rehabilitation process stretches for years and does not always end with a complete recovery of the body. As a post-stroke rehabilitation, the approach of monitoring the patient's actions of a healthy person (which the patient is not able to perform) is widely used. This method is not always effective, since the observation is not related to the patient's intentions to make his own movement.

Today, scientists are considering methods that require the active involvement of the patient in the rehabilitation process as alternatives. Such "inclusion" can be provided by a brain-computer interface - a system that allows a person to control external electronic devices - prostheses or their virtual models using mental commands. The patient will not only observe the movements of another person, but will also initiate them himself.

As part of the study, a monitor was placed in front of the subjects, on which a virtual model of the hand was displayed. Participants in the experiment had to mentally move the fingers of this virtual hand, sending commands through the brain-computer interface. At this time, the authors took indicators of the electrical activity of the brain of the subjects. The experiment showed that neural activity at the time of mentally performing an action, waiting for the result and observing the response differed in nature (different areas of the brain were activated) and amplitude. Interestingly, at the time of waiting for a response (movement of the hand model), the subjects' sensorimotor areas involved in predicting muscle action and preparing for movement were activated.

In addition, the authors identified patterns of neural activity specific to erroneous actions. They correspond to the processes of inhibition in the brain, which are observed when a person makes incorrect (not those that he wanted to do) movements. At the same time, observations of stroke patients indicate that their such activity is significantly reduced. It turns out that the principle of "predicting" an action before performing it and observing it can help restore disturbed neural networks for monitoring actions in patients after a stroke.

"The brain-computer interface can be used in the treatment of a wider range of diseases and disorders, such as spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease and others. In the future, we plan to enrich the feedback with other sensory modalities, for example, tactile stimulation of the paralyzed limb will also be carried out when observing movement. It is also necessary to adapt this technology for use in rehabilitation practice, it is necessary to make the system as simple and accessible as possible for its patients to use, "says Nikolai Syrov, senior researcher at the Vladimir Zelman Center for Neurobiology and Neurorehabilitation.

Scientists from the Baltic Federal University, Moscow State University and Skolkovo studied changes in brain activity when controlling the brain-computer interface (RSF grant No. 21-75-30024) as part of the Priority 2030 program of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia (the national project Science and Universities).

In Russia learned how to grow brain cells from auxiliary living tissue

In the future, with the help of this technique, mature neurons can be obtained from various types of cells, which will facilitate the testing of new pharmaceuticals for the treatment of diseases of the nervous system

ST. PETERSBURG, August 10. Scientists from the Institute of Cytology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISC RAS) with colleagues from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have found a way to effectively grow brain cells (neurons) from the connective tissue of the human body - fibroblasts. The new method makes it possible to obtain 10 times more healthy cells that are suitable for testing drugs against Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's syndrome and other diseases associated with the destruction of brain cells, the press service of the ISC RAS told TASS.

The results of the study were published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

St. Petersburg scientists have ensured that up to 80% of all these cells survive, and the method they created is potentially applicable for reprogramming not only fibroblasts, but also other types of cells. Due to this, the cost of such human experimental cells for pharmaceutical companies will decrease, and developers will be able to expand the scope of work on the search for drugs.

"The number of human nerve cells obtained using our approach is up to 80% of the number of fibroblasts used. In the future, with the help of this technique, mature neurons can be obtained from various types of cells. Our protocol will make cell models based on mature human neurons more accessible to pharmaceutical companies," the press service quoted Nina Kraskovskaya, a researcher at the Center for Cell Technologies of the Institute of Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as saying.

To achieve this result, the scientists found the most optimal method - they synchronized the connective tissue cells with each other before starting to reprogram them into neural cells. In addition, genetic changes are introduced smoothly and sparingly, in the same way the cells are treated with antibiotics necessary to maintain the process."

SIRIUS ONLINE SCHOOL WILL INTRODUCE THE BASICS OF AI
30 JUNE 2023

The online school Sirius.Courses has relaunched a course for schoolchildren that introduces them to the basics of artificial intelligence (AI). Experts from Sber AI, BIOCAD, Gazprom Neft, the Medsi Group of Companies and Tinkoff took part in the development of the improved program. The course was supplemented by lectures and tasks from leading companies in the industry that use AI technologies in their work. The Sirius.Courses project is part of the "Schoolchildren in Science and Technology" initiative of the Decade of Science and Technology.

In the course "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence", students will learn what AI is, how it is used today in different industries and what benefits it brings. The authors of the course plan to constantly replenish the program and invite companies from other industries.

"Neural networks and artificial intelligence are already part of our lives, they are changing markets and industries. To be a leader in this area, it is necessary to start training specialists from school. We are pleased that our programs, implemented jointly with partners, help young people acquire in-demand knowledge in this area and train specialists who develop the Russian high-tech industry," said Petr Polozhevets, Executive Director of the Sberbank Charitable Foundation "Contribution to the Future".

In the financial industry, AI technologies play a key role in the digitalization of the environment. Tinkoff implements its AI Banking strategy and actively uses AI and machine learning technologies. The company continues to improve smart feed algorithms for users of the Pulse social network (a social network for investors).

"The new model of recommending bloggers in Pulse increased the number of subscriptions by 10%. We believe that in the future development of artificial intelligence, more attention will be paid to personalization and investment. AI technologies will be used to develop financial health services and other important processes," said Ilya Shamov, a researcher and developer of the Tinkoff recommendation systems team.

As a leader in the implementation of AI in the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation, Gazprom Neft is actively developing and implementing AI.

"Artificial intelligence allows us to identify non-standard relationships in data and find new sources of efficiency growth in them, as well as speed up routine operations. Machine learning allows you to use the generalized expertise of the best specialists to replicate across all assets. Taking into account the complexity of the tasks that are solved with the help of artificial intelligence in the fuel and energy complex, in the future our developments can be scaled to other industries," said Alexey Shpilman, Head of Programs for the Development of AI Technologies and Tools at Gazprom Neft.

"At MEDSI, artificial intelligence is used to decipher images in reference centers for radiation and instrumental diagnostics. The "Third Opinion" service helps to accurately determine the volume of lung damage with an accuracy of one tenth of a percent. The data obtained make it possible to reliably assess the dynamics of the disease, therefore, to prescribe the correct treatment in time. So, during the pandemic, the reference center demonstrated high efficiency, when doctors needed to accurately determine the degree of lung damage in patients with coronavirus, "said Elena Andresyuk, project manager of Medsi Group.

The biotechnology company BIOCAD is also involved in the development of the course, which uses AI to develop drugs for the treatment of genetic diseases. Now the company has drugs for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy and hemophilia at different stages of research.

Until July 31, anyone can join the course "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence", learn about the practices of introducing new technologies into real business, and then proceed to an in-depth study of the topic, for example, in a course on machine learning.

The training is carried out thanks to the federal project "Artificial Intelligence" of the national project "Digital Economy".

Sirius.Courses is one of the leading online schools of additional education in Russia, created on the basis of the Sirius Center. Students independently build an individual trajectory, determine the pace and convenient time of study. The online school has 30 free courses available in scientific disciplines: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.

Умные технологии Северного Кавказа

Издавна считалось, что наука разделяется на «высокую» и, условно говоря, прикладную. То есть, первая стремится к академическим вершинам, направлена на фундаментальные исследования во имя будущего прогресса.

Smart technologies of the North Caucasus
Scientists of the North Caucasus Federal District create innovative solutions for projects in the field of agriculture

31.07.2023
It has long been believed that science is divided into "high" and, relatively speaking, applied. That is, the first strives for academic heights, aimed at fundamental research in the name of future progress. And the second helps in real life: how to grow vegetables correctly, smelt metal, build a house ... But life makes adjustments to the usual synthesis of theory and practice, and even the highest technologies are now used in everyday tasks.

A similar trend is easy to see in the North Caucasus regions. NCFU scientists in the Stavropol region, for example, have developed a unique (and already patented) system for analyzing soil and crops - as an element of the so-called smart farming. Its essence lies in remote sensing of the earth's surface using UAVs. The author of the development, Head of the Department of Infocommunications of NCFU Gennady Linets notes:

"Today, the main condition for the introduction of precision farming technologies, which together can increase the productivity of the agricultural industry by 20%, is to ensure the flow of accurate and timely information on the physicochemical parameters of the soil. Our development can automatically collect all the necessary data of this type,"

"Smart" drones are also used by farmers in Dagestan. The Russian Agricultural Center of the Republic of Dagestan began to use copters for processing agricultural land in the republic. The department's specialists coordinate the process of processing farmland in the SEC "Agrofirma Sogratl" with the help of special preparations. It is reported that 100 hectares of rice fields have already been processed with the help of a unique UAV.

For the dynamically developing rice industry in Dagestan, this is a very relevant innovation. Its high efficiency is emphasized: when using drones, labor costs and expensive resources are significantly reduced. Given that world rice prices have skyrocketed today, it is difficult to overestimate the significance of such news.

No less smart technologies aimed at preserving the environment in the field of agriculture are currently being developed at Kabardino-Balkarian State University. University scientists are creating a new type of fertilizer, the use of which can ensure the preservation of the natural balance in the environment. Research in this direction is carried out at the Center for Decarbonization of the Agro-Industrial Complex and Regional Economics of the University.

The essence of the innovative method is that traditional fertilizer is combined with biodegradable rock, which slows down the process of releasing nutrients into the soil. As a result, the efficiency of the use of top dressing increases, and the burden on the environment, on the contrary, is significantly reduced. The technologies used in the process of creating "smart" fertilizers make it possible to observe their exact dosage, which helps to significantly reduce production costs and increase yields.

"In addition to this work, we plan to work with the doctors of our university and Samara Medical University. We will assess the impact of products obtained with various technologies on the microflora of the human gastrointestinal tract, "Amiran Zanilov, head of the Center for Decarbonization of the Agro-Industrial Complex and Regional Economy of KBSU, shares his plans.

It should be noted that the use of the latest achievements of science for the sake of "daily bread" occurs in all regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. High-tech mechanisms, complex programs for processing and analyzing information, artificial intelligence and other know-how in the service of commodity producers are no longer a fantasy. Relatively speaking, if earlier space flights served to comprehend the Universe, now space technologies help to better grow crops. And this orientation of science to meet the real needs of man is becoming the prevailing trend.

Ученые из России и Китая нашли способ ускорить беспроводную передачу данных в три раза

Подход основан на применении межуровневого протокола xStream, разработанного специалистами Института проблем передачи информации РАН

Scientists from Russia and China have found a way to speed up wireless data transmission three times

The approach is based on the use of the xStream interlayer protocol, developed by specialists from the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences

August 10, 2023
Russian and Chinese researchers have studied the nature of data transmission in high-frequency wireless networks and selected additional protocols that can increase the efficiency of data exchange by 3-3.5 times.

The HSE University explained that modern wireless communication technologies operate in low-frequency bands and provide a relatively low bandwidth - up to several hundred Mbps per user. To be able to take full advantage of modern Internet technologies, you will need different data transfer rates, measured not in megabits, but in gigabits per second. Such speeds can be achieved by using high-frequency bands for data transmission. These are millimeter, terahertz and infrared wavelengths, as well as visible light.

"High-frequency connections are high-speed, but extremely unreliable, which leads to big problems in guessing the bandwidth. If radio waves easily bypass obstacles in the form of people and objects, then the appearance of an obstacle between the transmitter and receiver at millimeter wave frequencies can instantly reduce the data transfer rate from a few gigabits per second to tens of megabits per second. The terahertz range and above can simply be obscured by hand, which will dramatically degrade the channel speed," explained Maxim Susloparov, a research assistant at MIEM HSE, quoted by the university's press service.

As the scientists explain, the Internet and local networks use two protocols that transmit large amounts of data: TCP and QUIC. They determine how data is broken down into packets, transmitted and then collected back, with each new transmission having to "guess" the optimal speed. This approach works well with wired connections and radio wave transmitters, but it does not do a good job of transmitting data in high-frequency wireless networks.

Russian and Chinese researchers have found that this problem can be solved with the help of so-called interlayer interaction protocols, which take into account the peculiarities of the physical data transmission channel and the nature of the exchange of packets between network subscribers when exchanging arbitrary data. One of these solutions is the xStream protocol, developed by specialists from the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"With proper deployment and configuration, the solutions we reviewed can significantly improve the performance of TCP and QUIC protocols in high-frequency wireless systems. We believe that the most effective of them are cross-level solutions that can be used both independently and in conjunction with other solutions to achieve the best results," explained Artem Krasilov, Senior Research Fellow at MIEM HSE, quoted by the university's press service.

As the tests showed, this protocol allowed scientists to increase the data transfer rate by about 3-3.5 times through a high-frequency wireless channel, both in the presence of a small number of subscribers and in the presence of two dozen users on the network. This indicates the high prospects for the use of interlayer protocols in the operation of wireless networks of the future, the scientists concluded.

An international team of researchers with the participation of the IITP of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Higher School of Economics and the Shanghai University of Transport analyzed the existing methods for optimizing the data transfer rate of the TCP and QUIC protocols in high-frequency wireless networks. Scientists believe that the most effective way to increase the speed of data transfer is inter-level solutions. The article was published in one of the most influential (impact factor – 35.6) international journals in the field of telecommunications – IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials.

Boosting TCP & QUIC Performance in mmWave, Terahertz, and Lightwave Wireless Networks: A Survey

Emerging wireless systems target to provide multi-Gbps data rates for each user, which can be achieved by utilizing ultra-wide channels available at mmWave, terahertz, and lightwave frequencies. In contrast to the traditional spectrum below 6 GHz, these high-frequency bands raise many issues...

ieeexplore.ieee.org

Wireless communication technologies are constantly evolving, providing ever higher data transfer speeds for users. Modern Wi-Fi and mobile systems operating in traditional low-frequency bands (below 6 GHz) provide a bandwidth of up to several hundred megabits per second per user. The next step is to achieve multi-gigabit data transfer rates. This bandwidth will allow you to support cloud gaming, virtual reality, and many other technologies.

It is possible to increase the speed of data transmission in wireless networks many times due to the use of high-frequency ranges: millimeter waves (from 30 GHz to 300 GHz), terahertz (from 300 GHz to 3 THz), infrared (from 300 THz to 420 THz) and visible light (from 420 THz to 750 THz). For example, recent changes in Wi-Fi standards and fifth-generation cellular (5G) systems already use millimeter wave bands for data transmission. The IEEE 802.11 Working Group is finalizing the IEEE 802.11bb standard, also known as Li-Fi, which extends Wi-Fi to the range of light (LW). High frequencies are being considered as candidates for a variety of future wireless communication systems.

HSE Develops Neural Network to Control Hand Prostheses
AUGUST 10, 2023

Scientists from the Higher School of Economics (HSE) have created a machine learning model that recognizes finger movements for a next-generation hand prosthesis. It will allow you not only to take objects, but also to gesticulate, using the movements of each finger. In the future, the model will help people with disabilities to quickly master and effectively manage the prosthesis.

The algorithm was tested on data obtained by measuring the activity of the muscles of two volunteers, one of them with a congenital absence of a hand, the other survived amputation in adulthood. The accuracy of the model applied to the data of the first subject was 50%, and to the data of the second, it was 71%.

"In modern hand prostheses, the control system is based on the use of two large muscles on the forearm. The mechanism of the prosthesis converts the signals of tension and relaxation of the muscle into commands, the movements of each individual finger are not used on such devices.

Recent studies have shown that if you use various machine learning methods, then healthy people restore the movements of individual fingers, even by superficial muscle signals. We decided to find out if this is possible in people with amputations. Next year, we will continue our work together with HSE MIEM,' said Anna Makarova, Research Assistant at the HSE Centre for Bioelectric Interfaces.

The results of the work on the study of the possibility of accurate restoration of finger movement by electromyographic signals of the muscles of the forearm in people with disabilities were presented at the seminar "Digital Technologies for Medical Applications" within the framework of the program of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia "Priority 2030" (national project "Science and Universities"). The project was selected as part of a competition of research projects for young scientists at the Higher School of Economics (under 35 years old) on the topic of digital transformation and development of digital technologies in 2022."

Russia has developed software to predict the individual structure of the human genome

The system provides an advantage that will save users weeks, if not months, of time-consuming work, said Maria Poptsova, head of the Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics project at the HSE AI Center

MOSCOW, August 9. Specialists from the HSE Centre for Artificial Intelligence have created software to predict the location of elements of the human genome. The development will help genetic laboratories expand the interpretation of the results of personal diagnostics, and pharmaceutical companies will be useful in finding targets in drug development, the National Priorities ANO reported.

"The developed software is a unique solution with a wide range of functionality. It is built with the rapidly evolving field of deep learning architectures in mind. <... > Aggregation and pre-processing of large volumes of omics data is an advantage that will save users weeks, if not months, of time-consuming work," said Maria Poptsova, head of the Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics project at the HSE AI Centre.

Omics data is a collection of information about various molecular components of an organism, such as genes, proteins, metabolites, and others. The user of the system can upload such data to the server, select the processing parameters, and after that the program creates an AI model and starts the process of training it. At the output, the user receives data on the probability of the presence of an element in the selected position, statistical analysis of genomic traits, annotation of regions for the genome under study.

The study was carried out in accordance with the objectives of the federal project "Artificial Intelligence" of the national project "Digital Economy". In Russia, six research centers on AI have been created under the federal project "Artificial Intelligence". They operate on the basis of Skoltech, ITMO University, MIPT, HSE, Innopolis University and the Institute for System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences."

ON GUARD OF SAFETY

Russian mobile laboratories save the world from global threats

In Russia, there is a special center, whose employees, with the help of unique laboratories on wheels, fight infections and help eliminate the consequences of disasters around the world.

10 regional centers of hygiene and epidemiology in four regions of Russia are equipped with mobile laboratories for molecular diagnostics

25 RUSSIAN MOBILE LABORATORIES ARE ALREADY OPERATING ABROAD.

They are used in the CIS and EAEU countries, in Vietnam, Mongolia, Guinea, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Deliveries to Venezuela and African countries are also planned. In Russia, these centers are involved in various parts of the country. We understand how this miracle of technology works and why laboratories are in demand all over the world.

RUSSIAN MOBILE LABORATORIES
Miracle laboratories were created by specialists of the Russian Anti-Plague Research Institute (RosNIPCHI) "Microbe".

"Microbe" began to develop them back in 2006, when Russia, as part of a global strategy to combat infectious diseases, proposed to improve the system for responding to biological threats.

The developments of Russian scientists created during this time are protected by more than 20 patents.

A key element of this initiative was the modernization of specialized anti-epidemic teams (SPEB). Such teams must be mobile in order to be able to easily and quickly move to the most remote corners, equipped with modern technologies and staffed with the best specialists.

In 2019–2021, Rospotrebnadzor specialists and employees of the institute took part in a WHO project to develop a classification of such mobile laboratories and standards for their functioning.

And in 2021, the Russian Anti-Plague Research Institute (RosNIPCHI) "Microbe" received the status of a collaborating center of the World Health Organization (WHO) for the development of rapid response resources to outbreaks of infectious diseases.

ABOUT 1500 studies on the indication of pathogens of infectious diseases can be carried out in a mobile laboratory per day

Rospotrebnadzor then reported that this decision of the WHO confirms the successful experience of the institute in rapid response to biological threats at the international level.

The latest development is a mobile display laboratory based on a pneumo-frame tent. Such a laboratory can be easily transported by ordinary civilian flights: when disassembled, it will take 23 cases of suitcase format.

FROM EBOLA TO COVID
In 2014-2016, two Russian mobile laboratories of Rospotrebnadzor took part in measures to eliminate the epidemic of the disease caused by the Ebola virus in West African countries.

In 2006 YEAR
The development of new mobile laboratories has begun

The laboratories were deployed in Guinea, where there was no network of in-house stationary laboratories with an appropriate level of biosafety. In total, 26 mobile complexes were deployed on the territory of the affected countries of West Africa, including the mobile complex of the SPEB of Rospotrebnadzor in the Republic of Guinea.

In the course of this international operation, the domestic development was validated at the international level for the first time - the World Health Organization (WHO) included the laboratory in the international response system in the fight against Ebola.

The rich experience gained by the specialists of the Microbe Institute in Guinea helped them to develop a second-generation mobile complex in 2016.

Currently, within the framework of the Sanitary Shield project, the development of a network of mobile laboratories continues in Russia.

HSE researchers have identified more than 50 key topics in the field of digital technologies

Using the iFORA big data analysis system, HSE experts named the priorities of research and development in the field of digital technologies in Russia and the world. The results were presented at the expert session of the project "Mapping the Russian landscape of research and development in the field of digital technologies: topics, organizations, specialists and competencies".

In the context of sanctions and a corporate boycott of foreign software and information technology suppliers, the role of Russian developers with the competencies to create domestic digital solutions has increased.

In order to identify priority areas for financing such solutions, HSE University is mapping the landscape of research and development in the field of digital technologies as part of the Priority 2030 programme, notes Tamara Zinina, expert of the project 'Mapping the Russian landscape of research and development in the field of digital technologies: topics, organizations, specialists and competencies'.

A significant stage of the study has now been completed: based on the results of group discussions with the participation of 20 experts from the ISSEK, the Faculty of Computer Science, MIEM, the Centre for Language and the Brain, the Institute of Education, the School of Linguistics and the Department for Digitalisation of Education, more than 50 key topics for the digital solutions being created have been identified. These included: big data processing technologies, voice assistants, satellite communications, authentication systems and cloud technologies.

Experts also identified the top 5 technological trends (growing areas), including computer vision, cybersecurity, unmanned vehicles, blockchain, and natural language processing.

In the future, these topics will become the basis for the formation of profiles of priority technological areas, which will include the characteristics of the market potential and the level of competence of HSE University in the field of digital technologies.

The iFORA big data mining system was developed by the HSE ISSEK using advanced artificial intelligence technologies and includes more than 750 million documents (scientific publications, patents, regulatory framework, market analytics, industry media, materials of international organisations, vacancies and other types of sources). In 2020, iFORA was recognized in the journal Nature as an effective decision support tool in the interests of business and government. The OECD classifies the system as a successful initiative in the field of digitalization of science.

The project "Mapping the Russian Landscape of Research and Development in the Field of Digital Technologies: Topics, Organizations, Specialists and Competencies" is carried out within the framework of the strategic project "Digital Transformation: Technologies, Effects, Efficiency" of the Priority 2030 program in 2023.

We talk about the Russian facial recognition system supplied to 26 countries of the world

In 2016, the domestic company NtechLab developed its own face recognition system FindFace. Initially, it was used as a web service that helped to find people from photos on the social network VKontakte. Two years later, the algorithm has grown into a whole range of solutions for video analytics and biometric identification services used all over the world.

0.5 SECONDS
The speed of finding a specific person among 1 billion people using the FindFace algorithm

IN THE SERVICE OF GOOD

NTECHLAB TECHNOLOGIES
With the help of neural networks, NtechLab technologies can recognize faces and silhouettes of people, cars and registration plates on them in a matter of seconds.

The algorithm is able to identify faces even in low-quality images taken from different angles, in low light. In a database of up to 500 million images, face recognition occurs with an accuracy of 80%.

NtechLab biometric identification systems already solve a wide range of tasks in large cities and regions. Businesses use them in retail, finance, entertainment, and online services.

2021
The system has been implemented on the busiest sections of railways in India

For example, retailers can use them to identify company employees, as well as identify troublemakers and hooligans. In the entertainment industry, the system helps to recognize VIP guests and cut off unwanted visitors.

NtechLab's solutions are actively used by government agencies for purposes related to ensuring public safety. Biometric monitoring, for example, is carried out in the subway, airports, railway stations, sea and river ports.

The algorithm allows you to quickly analyze the flow of information from CCTV cameras and timely identify suspects in offenses, as well as prevent accidents in transport.

THE SYSTEM IS TRIGGERED IN JUST 1-2 SECONDS

By the way, video analytics obtained using FindFace technologies was used, among other things, during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was used to identify violators of the quarantine regime.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
The Russian facial recognition system quickly gained fame and recognition from the world expert community.

NtechLab technologies have successfully coped with the tests of the international laboratory iBeta, which tests the resistance of biometric systems to attacks.

In 26 COUNTRIES
were sold by NtechLab solutions in 2022

In 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the US Department of Commerce (NIST) recognized the NtechLab facial recognition algorithm as the best in the world based on the results of seven independent tests. More than 100 algorithms developed in China, the United States and Israel competed in the competition. At the same time, according to three of the tests passed, the Russian development set an absolute record in the entire history of the competition.

DURING THE TESTS, THE SOFTWARE WAS TESTED WITH IOS AND ANDROID APPLICATIONS.
At the same time, the program successfully coped with the task, in which it was proposed to distinguish a person from his image or cardboard mask, and then a more difficult task - the system was able to distinguish a person from his three-dimensional mask, made of expensive materials resembling human skin in structure.

GLOBAL EXPANSION
In total, the Russian company today has 200 completed projects in Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Persian Gulf countries, South and Southeast Asia.

Its products are used by Interpol, the Brazilian police, the Thai Armed Forces and even the IT giant Dell. In August 2021, the facial recognition system was implemented on the busiest sections of India's railways.

IN 2021, NTECHLAB'S REVENUE AMOUNTED TO 1 BILLION RUBLES, AND NET PROFIT OF 88 MILLION RUBLES*.
NtechLab representatives said that in 2022, the company's revenue increased by more than 35%, and international sales almost doubled. First of all, the increase can be achieved through the implementation of new projects in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the CIS, and the entire solutions were sold to 26 countries of the world.
