MIL-OSI Russia: The first defense of a doctoral dissertation in cognitive sciences in Russia took place at HSE

Professor at the Higher School of Economics, leading research fellow Institute of Cognitive Neurosciences Vasily Klyucharev successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in cognitive sciences. This is the first doctoral dissertation in this discipline in Russia.

Cognitive sciences began to develop actively in the second half of the 20th century. This is a unique interdisciplinary field of research that opens up new horizons of human consciousness and behavior. Cognitive science studies how the human mind works, functions, and behaves, how people perceive, understand, and react to information received.

The HSE University’s research unit in cognitive neuroscience was established in 2013. Vasily Klyucharev then headed the Department of Psychology and founded new laboratories for cognitive brain research. Over the course of 11 years, the small research unit has grown into the largest research institute in Russia in the field of cognitive neuroscience with a team of scientists who have received global recognition. In 2021, with the direct participation of the HSE University, the new specialty in cognitive sciences. In September 2024, Vasily Klyucharev became the first doctor of cognitive sciences in Russia.

“This is an important step not only for me, but for the entire scientific community,” Vasily Klyucharev noted after his defense. “For a long time, cognitive sciences were not popular in the Soviet Union; the authorities did not like them. This led to a lag in this most important scientific and technological area. Research was conducted, but it was integrated into other scientific fields – biology, psychology, linguistics. The creation of a separate specialty in cognitive sciences and the opportunity to defend candidate and doctoral dissertations in this field is a sign of recognition at the state level.”

Vasily Klyucharev’s research is devoted to the phenomenon of conformism — the tendency of people to adjust their decisions to the opinions of others. The work examines the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying conformism using modern brain scanning technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalography, and magnetoencephalography.

Neurocognitive mechanisms of social influence appear to be deeply rooted in the biology of the brain. Conformity is not just a social phenomenon. Researchers have found that deviating from the majority opinion activates areas of the brain responsible for automatic behavioral change, which forces people to reconsider their decisions, adapting to others.

“I have been studying the topic of conformism since about 2009, when our research group was one of the first to become interested in this phenomenon. We were the first to discover that the brain automatically adapts to the opinions of others. Using various neuroimaging technologies, we have confirmed that specific areas of the brain associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine are responsible for conformism. If their activity is suppressed, conformism decreases,” explains Vasily Klyucharev. “In this regard, the phenomenon of nonconformism is a very interesting, but still completely unexplored area. Perhaps this is a foundation for future research.”

Vasily Klyucharev emphasizes that cognitive science is a unique scientific field that requires comprehensive knowledge from a wide variety of fields: from mathematics to philosophy.

“To understand how the system, i.e. the human brain, works, we must study literally everything: neurophysiology, biochemistry, social behavior, sociocultural characteristics. It is important to be able to describe all processes mathematically, use various modern technologies of neurovisualization and data analysis. Even such a fashionable topic as artificial intelligence depends on cognitive research. How correctly will we understand AI? How will it understand us? Cognitive science is, in general, the science of understanding everything.”

The defense of a doctoral dissertation in cognitive science marks a new stage in the history of HSE, confirming the university’s status as a leading center for research in the field of cognitive science in Russia.

Specialists from the municipal services complex have completed the main work on the capital repairs of building No. 2 of the Moscow multidisciplinary scientific and clinical center named after S.P. Botkin. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for housing and public utilities and improvement Petr Biryukov.

“The three-story brick building with an area of over three thousand square meters was built in 1909 and was completed until 1937. Its engineering systems and some of the structures were in an unsatisfactory condition, so a decision was made to carry out a major overhaul. The building is a cultural heritage site, and therefore the necessary restoration work was carried out in it,” noted Petr Biryukov.

The specialists reinforced the existing structures, repaired the floors, laid the floor screed, updated the rafter system and roof. They completely replaced the electrical and water supply systems, heating, sewerage, air conditioning and ventilation.

Partitions and suspended ceilings were installed on the floors, stone window sills were mounted, 147 window and nine door units made of hardwood were installed. They became part of the historical appearance of the building, so their dimensions, shape and color were observed.

The building’s facade, with an area of almost three thousand square meters, was restored. The plaster and brick were painted in a style typical of the first half of the 20th century.

The craftsmen preserved the cornices, horizontal graphic rustication at the first floor level and metal canopies above the entrances. In addition, they restored the stairs with figured metal railings and restored the Mettlach tiles on the landings.

Petr Biryukov noted that during the renovation, the Monier vaults discovered on the stairwells were preserved – small-span cylindrical brick vaults arranged between metal beams. They were put in order and plastered.

The territory of the Botkin Hospital will be improved this year – Moscow Mayor

MIL-OSI Russia: A kindergarten and a school will be built in Kommunarka

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The city has signed an agreement with the developer to participate in the development of social, transport, and engineering infrastructure in the capital’s development area. It provides for the construction of an educational complex for 675 students in the Kommunarka district (TiNAO). This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

“The educational complex will consist of a kindergarten for 225 children and a school for 450 children. It will be built at the address: block 70, land plot No. 78/3. According to the participation agreement that the city concluded with the developer, the facility is planned to be commissioned in 2026. After the completion of construction, the investor will transfer it to the capital’s education system,” Vladimir Efimov noted.

The project is being implemented by the developer as part of the construction of the residential complex “1st Salaryevsky”.

“The total area of the three-story building will be 14 thousand square meters. Separate entrances will be provided for school and preschool departments. In addition to the kindergarten group cells and school classrooms, the complex will include sports facilities, a medical office and a dining hall. Sports grounds, a 60-meter running track and a place for long jumps will be created in the physical education and sports zone,” added the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy of the capital.

Vladislav Ovchinsky.

Mosgosstroynadzor issued a permit for the construction of a social facility in early September of this year. According to the committee chairman Anton Slobodchikova, an educational complex for 675 places will be built on a land plot of 1.5 hectares. The progress of the work at all stages will be monitored by a committee. As soon as the developer sends a notice of the start of construction and installation work, inspectors will draw up a program of site inspections.

The facade finishing will visually divide the building using different materials and colors, but maintaining one color scheme. And the metal perforated panels in the piers will unite the stained glass systems and window units into a single ribbon glazing. The chaotic arrangement of window openings on the main facade, combined with concrete tiles imitating clinker brick, will give the building architectural expressiveness.

The territory of the educational complex will house physical education and sports zones, utility zones, and recreation areas. A hard-surfaced area for events will be organized near the main entrance to the school department.

The preschool department’s territory includes group play areas and physical education and health grounds, a utility area, as well as storage space for strollers, bicycles and sleds.

According to the head of the Department for the Development of New Territories of the City of Moscow Vladimir Zhidkin, in the development of TiNAO, the city adheres to the principle of balanced development. The more actively housing is built, the more social facilities appear. Since the annexation of the territories to the capital, more than 150 educational facilities have been built and commissioned in TiNAO, 20 of them are since the beginning of the current year.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin reported on the development of social infrastructure in TiNAO.

Marat Khusnullin: To accelerate the pace of economic development in Donbass, it is necessary to change the quality of roads

The economic component of new regions depends, among other things, on the condition of the road surface on federal and regional highways. In order to develop the potential of the subjects, the road from Dokuchaevsk to Starobeshevo has been repaired in the Donetsk People’s Republic, and in the Lugansk People’s Republic, sections of the strategically important federal highway Znamenka – Lugansk – Izvarino are being updated. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

“In order to accelerate the pace of economic development and expand cooperation ties in the new Russian regions, it is necessary to ensure a qualitative change in the transport and logistics component. It is also important to put in order the roads of Donbass bordering other entities. For example, as part of this work, 30 km of one of the main highways of the DPR – the highway from Dokuchaevsk to Starobeshevo – have been repaired. It will provide a comfortable exit to the federal highway R-150 Belgorod – Starobelsk – Lugansk – Donetsk – Mariupol, and will also create conveniences for travel in the direction of the Uspenka and Shramko checkpoints on the border with the Rostov Region,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

The work was carried out under the supervision of specialists from the State Company “Avtodor”.

“About 500 people are working at the facilities in the LPR, and over 250 units of equipment are involved. They are currently renovating the Znamenka-Lugansk-Izvarino highway. At the moment, work is nearing completion on the section from the village of Samsonovka to the settlement of Izvarino. We are also completing the renovation of 23 km of the Raygorodka-Slavyanoserbsk-Mikhailovka highway, which connects the federal highway R-150 with the regional highway on the section from Lugansk to Lisichansk,” said Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the State Company “Avtodor”.

MIL-OSI Russia: Students of SPbGASU attended a lecture by a representative of the company “ROCKWOOL”

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Students at a lecture

Leading specialist in training development at ROCKWOOL Natalia Pakhomova gave a lecture to students of SPbGASU on improving the energy efficiency of buildings and fire safety using building materials. The company representative explained that these issues are very relevant, and therefore will be interesting and useful for senior students both for writing final qualifying papers and in general for improving their professional competencies.

ROCKWOOL is the largest manufacturer of insulation materials and solutions made of stone wool. 25 years ago, the company launched its first production in Russia. Today, ROCKWOOL heat and sound insulation is manufactured in the Moscow region, Vyborg, Chelyabinsk region and Tatarstan. Speaking about the advantages of stone wool products and solutions, designs and their application, Natalia Pakhomova drew the students’ attention to the fact that the raw materials and components of the materials are exclusively Russian, which increases their availability.

“Our company has developed a series of lectures on various topics: energy efficiency, fire safety, technology of production of building materials, including stone wool. Therefore, we have something to tell to any faculty, course of specialized universities. We have accumulated quite a lot of experience related to the production and use of stone wool, and we want to share our expertise, promote safe, energy-efficient, fire-safe solutions and products. We closely cooperate with SPbGASU and, for our part, are interested in joint training of sought-after specialists,” explained Natalia Pakhomova.

Associate Professor of the Department of Metal and Wooden Constructions of SPbGASU, PhD in Engineering Stefania Mironova suggested expanding cooperation and, if possible, jointly developing the topic of master’s theses. It turned out that the company “ROCKWOOL” also has experience of such cooperation, and it is ready to increase it. In addition, the company practices organizing internships.

Fourth-year student of the Department of Construction Technology Anita Agzamova has heard about this company. In the construction of the building, which she plans to take as an object for her final qualifying work, the insulation for walls “ROCKWOOL” is used.

“During this lecture, I clearly saw how this is applied in practice. The format of such lectures is very interesting and effective, since we are not familiar with educational and theoretical projects, but with practical solutions. It is useful to learn about them, about what new technologies are being implemented in the industry. The opportunity for an internship is also inspiring, motivating and opens the way to the professional sphere,” Anita said.

Alla Kadyrova, a specialist at the Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career at SPbGASU, reminded students that such meetings with industry representatives will continue, but this is not the only option for assistance in employment from our university. Thus, at the Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career, students are helped to write a resume, consulted on job search issues, and offered vacancies in their specialty from the university’s partners.

“If you are not considering a job but intend to engage in entrepreneurship, we invite you to take part in hackathons, accelerators, incubators – federal projects, within the framework of which, on the way to implementing your idea, you will be able to assemble a team, develop an economic model, meet partners and even receive funding. We also help implement the “Startup as a Diploma” program. This is an alternative to the traditional final qualifying work or master’s thesis, where students prepare their business project,” explained Alla Kadyrova.

MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Staff and Tajikistan Authorities Reach Staff-Level Agreement on the First Review of the Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI)
Source: IMF – News in Russian

October 9, 2024

End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion and decision.
- IMF staff and the Tajikistan authorities have reached a staff-level agreement on the first review under the Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI). The PCI aims to maintain macroeconomic stability, strengthen the authorities’ policy frameworks, and support their efforts to foster more sustainable and inclusive growth.
- Macroeconomic performance remains favorable with real GDP growth at 8.3 percent during January-August 2024, and twelve-month inflation slowing to 3.6 percent in August. The current account remained in surplus in the first half of 2024, with international reserves at comfortable levels.
- Policy priorities are to enhance revenue mobilization, rationalize tax exemptions, modernize FX and public debt markets, enhance banking supervision and macroprudential oversight, and improve governance and transparency of SOEs and other entities to strengthen the favorable business climate.
Dushanbe, Tajikistan: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team led by Mr. Matthew Gaertner held discussions with the Tajikistan authorities during September 23-October 4, 2024, for the first review of the Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) [[1]].

At the conclusion of the mission, Mr. Gaertner issued the following statement:

“The IMF mission held productive discussions with the Tajikistan authorities and reached staff-level agreement on the policies needed to complete the first review under the PCI. The successful completion of the review is subject to approval by IMF management and the IMF Executive Board. Consideration by the Board is expected in November 2024.

“Real GDP continued to grow at 8.3 percent during January-August 2024, supported by strong growth in services and construction. Inflation declined to 3.6 percent in August from 3.8 in December, remaining below the lower bound of the National Bank of Tajikistan’s target range. The current account remained in surplus during the first half of 2024 with strong financial inflows supporting comfortable levels of FX reserves. The authorities recorded a fiscal deficit well below the program’s target in the first half of the year, anchoring a continued reduction in public debt. The banking system is stable, with robust growth in deposits and credit. Strong GDP growth and low inflation are expected to continue in 2025 but geopolitical and climate risks create uncertainty over the medium-term outlook.

“Program implementation has remained on track, with most of the quantitative targets for end-June 2024 being met and all reform targets being observed. The quantitative targets on net international reserves and the fiscal deficit were met comfortably. Improvements in revenue mobilization and debt management remain central to program objectives. Fiscal reforms have focused on quantifying losses from inefficient tax exemptions and implementing a Medium-Term Revenue Plan aiming to increase fiscal space for priority social and development spending. In line with the updated Debt Management Strategy, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) has started issuing government securities at market-based rates to diversify financing sources.

“Under the PCI, the authorities have improved monitoring of fiscal risks from state-owned enterprises (SOE), bringing all companies with state ownership of at least 20 percent under the monitoring of the MOF. Monetary and exchange rate policy reforms have centered on improving the functioning of the FX market by rationalizing the system supporting remittances and money transfers through the banking system and improving the mechanism for executing government FX transactions to better reflect prevailing market rates.

“Looking ahead, the authorities will aim to continue to rationalize tax exemptions and tax administration, modernize FX and public debt markets, improve banking supervision and macroprudential oversight, and enhance governance and transparency of SOEs and other public and private entities to support a favorable business climate and foster more sustainable and inclusive growth. Enhanced exchange rate flexibility is essential to strengthen resilience to shocks and support the transition to an interest-rate based framework. The authorities have proposed to expand the fiscal reform agenda through new measures aiming to develop a plan to streamline tax exemptions and including all companies with a minimum of 20 percent state ownership in the 2024 Statement of Fiscal Risks.

“The IMF team would like to thank the authorities for their excellent cooperation and constructive discussions.”

[[1]] The IMF’s Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) is designed for countries that do not need balance of payments financial support. The PCI helps countries design effective economic programs that, once approved by the IMF’s Executive Board, signal to donors, multilateral development banks, and markets the Fund’s endorsement of a member’s policies.

MIL-OSI Russia: St. Petersburg Gas Forum 2024: Polytech Showcases Cutting-Edge Developments

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

From October 8 to 11, the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum 2024 is being held in the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Centre in St. Petersburg. Russia’s leading technical university and the flagship university of PJSC Gazprom, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, traditionally participates in the exhibition and scientific-business programme of the forum. This year, SPbPU and the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences presented a joint stand.

The St. Petersburg International Gas Forum can be called a unique event without exaggeration, because it is not only an exhibition of achievements in the gas industry, but also provides opportunities for a meaningful dialogue between business, government and science. This is necessary to ensure the technological independence of the Russian energy industry, – noted the rector of SPbPU, chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy.

Among the innovative developments that forum guests can see at the Polytechnic stand is the installation of selective laser melting with high-temperature heating of the working area “Mercury”, which solves the problems of import preemption in the economy of our country. This is an innovative project, which has no analogues in Russia. The new equipment was created in cooperation with an industrial partner – the company 3DLAM. Thanks to additive metal printing technologies, which Polytechnic is now actively engaged in, it has become possible to manufacture products of the most complex shapes from difficult-to-process alloys. The resulting samples are highly durable and reliable.

The unit is capable of heating the working area to 1300 degrees for printing new-generation heat-resistant alloys. Joint repair of T32 engine components — the Ladoga gas pumping unit — is currently being discussed.

In our partnership, we act as an equipment manufacturer, and Polytech acts as a technology center that develops the technology itself, works out modes and prepares technical specifications, according to which we create innovative installations, noted Nikolai Drobchenko, head of the 3DLAM additive technology department.

Specialists from the research laboratory “Laser and Additive Technologies” of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University also demonstrate the mobile laser cladding complex “Nomad” and components of gas turbine engines restored using the laser cladding method.

“Here, there is a synergy of combining scientific research, technological and production experience,” said Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory. “And all of this is combined into a new development. In this case, it is a layer-by-layer growth complex with high-temperature heating.”

Also at the Polytechnic stand, you can get acquainted with the work of virtual demonstration complexes based on VR technologies to study the main actions during maintenance and operation of compressor equipment used at underground gas storage facilities.

Traditionally, the SPbPU History Museum takes part in the exhibition. Its employees tell visitors to the stand about the Polytechnic gas plant, which produced lighting gas for laboratories.

MIL-OSI Russia: Restoration of Gagarin monument on Leninsky Prospekt completed — Moscow Mayor

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

The restoration of the monument to Yuri Gagarin on Leninsky Prospekt has been completed in the capital. Sergei Sobyanin reported this in his telegram channel.

This monument is the world’s first large-scale monument made of titanium. Its height is 42.5 meters.

“It is located on the square of the same name and is its dominant feature. The installation site was not chosen by chance – it was along Leninsky Prospekt that Yuri Gagarin made his historic flight on April 14, 1961, heading from Vnukovo Airport to the Kremlin,” the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Over the years, numerous damages appeared on the monument. Specialists put the monument in order. They removed dirt and paint stains from the stylobate, replaced the destroyed facing blocks and slabs, and treated the stones with wax. The monument itself was also cleaned of dirt, corrosion, and all the titanium plates were washed. The work was carried out not only on the outside, but also on the inside – in a space with a diameter of one meter.

At the final stage, a restored model of the Vostok spacecraft’s descent module was installed on the stylobate.

“Now the transformed monument to the cosmonaut who opened the way to the stars for humanity will once again delight Muscovites and guests of the city with its beauty and grandeur,” noted Sergei Sobyanin.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke at the plenary session of the XXVIII International Scientific and Practical Conference “IP Era” “Intellectual Property – the Basis of an Innovative Economy: Priorities and Mechanisms for Scientific and Technological Development”.

The event participants discussed issues of international scientific and technical cooperation in the field of intellectual property.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that the institute of intellectual property is a cross-cutting component of the national innovation system of each technologically developed country. In Russia, over the past year, strategic goal-setting in the field of scientific and technological development for the next period has been determined.

“In May, President Vladimir Putin approved a decree on Russia’s national development goals. For the first time in the history of modern Russia, technological leadership has become a national goal. We now have a unique situation, since one of the strategic objectives aimed at achieving this goal is to increase spending on science to 2% of GDP by 2030. Another objective is to increase the share of domestic high-tech goods and services created on the basis of our own development lines by 1.5 times compared to the 2023 level. In this regard, it is important for us not only to increase the volume of scientific research and development, including through extra-budgetary sources, but also to ensure what Rospatent does – timely and seamless transfer of these technologies into products and services in demand by citizens, the state and business,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

To make management decisions and track the effective transfer of technologies from science to industry, a unified digital environment for research and development is being formed within the Science and Innovation domain. The first 14 services are already functioning in it, including the Service of Technology Requests from Business and End-to-End Traceability.

Dmitry Chernyshenko separately noted that in order to respond to global challenges, it is necessary to concentrate all resources around the tasks of technological leadership.

“According to the instructions of the head of state, each national project of technological leadership should provide for separate federal projects on advanced training of qualified specialists and development of the most important science-intensive technologies. The role of intellectual property here is the proper legal protection of the result and its transfer from scientific reserves, which will be formed within the framework of separate federal projects, to specific products and their entry into industrial production. In this regard, I would like to note the work of Rospatent, which today is not limited to just protecting intellectual property, but is focusing on stimulating scientific, technological, and entrepreneurial breakthroughs,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.

Today, there are a large number of requests from technology companies for reverse engineering of technologies and products that the companies previously purchased abroad. In the process of reverse engineering, scientists and engineers often manage to improve the properties of technologies and products, thereby creating a qualitatively new result.

According to Dmitry Chernyshenko, today, only registration in the patent offices of friendly countries where such products are planned for sale can provide proper legal protection for products, especially those with export potential. National patent offices can and should act as methodologists in the proper registration of intellectual property rights.

The Deputy Prime Minister also recalled that the plenary session was timed to coincide with the 6th meeting of the heads of intellectual property departments of the BRICS countries, and noted the Rospatent project to develop a guide to intellectual property systems in the BRICS countries for entrepreneurs.

The plenary session was attended by Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov, President of the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO) Grigory Ivliev, as well as representatives of the intellectual property departments of the Republic of Belarus, China and South Africa. In addition, a greeting was given by the Chairperson of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture Lilia Gumerova. The session was moderated by the Head of Rospatent Yuri Zubov.

In addition, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting with the management of Rospatent and subordinate organizations. They discussed the role of Rospatent in ensuring Russia’s technological leadership, IT infrastructure in the field of intellectual property, and legal protection of regional brands as a tool for developing tourism in the regions of Russia.

“It is important to create developments with export potential and a focus on further commercialization. Intellectual property is an important indicator of the country’s technological development, and promising scientific ideas should receive legal protection and enter industrial production as soon as possible. The necessary digital and analytical services have been formed in the Rospatent system to support science and business,” said Rospatent head Yuri Zubov.

On October 9, 2024, a meeting was held of the heads and responsible executives of the teams of the State University of Management and the Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center, implementing a major scientific project “Ensuring food security of the country based on the creation of software and hardware systems and intelligent platform digital solutions in the field of development of agro-industrial technologies of the full life cycle.”

Let us recall that the project is aimed at research, development and implementation of advanced software, information, technological, agricultural and organizational-managerial innovations in the sphere of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation.

The meeting was attended by Rector Vladimir Stroyev, Vice-Rector Maria Karelina, Head of the Institute of Information Systems Olga Pisareva, Director of the Engineering Project Management Center Vladimir Filatov, Researcher of the Center Dmitry Rybakov and Associate Professor of the Innovation Management Department Denis Serdechny. On behalf of the Omsk ANC, Director Maxim Chekusov and Researcher Artem Timokhin were present.

At the working meeting, colleagues summed up the preliminary results of their joint activities, discussed in detail the first results of the project, as well as the most important areas for its further support, development and expansion.

During the tour of SUM, the guests learned about the specifics of the university, its history, campus structure and research potential. In particular, the partners inspected the Sports Complex, the Information Technology Center and the SUM Media Center. Vladimir Stroyev and Maxim Chekusov looked with interest at the prototype of an unmanned aerial vehicle designed at our university. According to Vladimir Filatov, this is a racing drone designed for high-speed filming and capable of accelerating to 250 km/h. In addition, due to the modular design, the head part can accommodate equipment for various purposes.

The meeting participants noted that such interdisciplinary interaction will allow us to obtain significant scientific results, as well as to translate them into technical and analytical solutions that are in demand today, aimed at achieving food and technological independence for our country.

In September, the Moscow Exchange Index grew for the first time since May — by 7.8%. The stock market was positively influenced, in particular, by news about dividends of individual companies.

The weakening of the ruble continued. Against this background, citizens sold more currency than they bought for the first time since August last year.

OFZ yields have increased, which has been accompanied by a negative revaluation of banks’ securities portfolios. However, its size is limited and does not have a significant impact on the overall stability of the banking sector.

MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Staff Completes 2024 Article IV Mission to Timor-Leste
Source: IMF – News in Russian

October 8, 2024

End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion and decision.
- Timor-Leste’s growth is expected to rise in 2024, supported by an increase in public spending and strong credit growth. From a high level in 2023, inflation has fallen sharply and is projected to continue easing with the moderation of global food prices.
- A key policy priority is ensuring that Timor-Leste’s substantial savings are best utilized to support development while achieving fiscal sustainability. Improving the composition and quality of public spending would boost growth, while containing overall spending is needed to preserve fiscal sustainability.
- Promoting private sector development requires well-sequenced structural reforms, and the authorities are rightly prioritizing an ambitious agenda of legal reforms of the financial sector.
Washington, DC: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team led by Mr. Yan Carrière-Swallow visited Dili during September 25-October 8 to conduct discussions for the 2024 Article IV consultation with Timor-Leste. At the conclusion of the discussions, Mr. Carrière-Swallow issued the following statement:

“Timor-Leste has made impressive progress since its independence. Yet, the economy remains under-diversified and highly dependent on the public sector. The IMF stands ready to continue providing capacity development to assist the government’s development and reform efforts.

“Growth is expected to rise in 2024, supported by an increase in public spending and strong credit growth, and will maintain its momentum in 2025. From a high level in 2023, inflation has fallen sharply and is projected to continue easing with the moderation of global food prices. Risks to the outlook are balanced.

“The draft 2025 budget contains an appropriate increase in spending on capital projects, health, and education, but also an excessive increase in recurrent spending. Large fiscal deficits are expected to persist as spending remains high, requiring excess withdrawals from the Petroleum Fund that will lead to its full depletion by the end of the 2030s. We recommend a 10-year reform scenario that supports economic diversification through structural reforms and gradually reduces fiscal deficits to stabilize the Petroleum Fund.

“We welcome the government’s ambitious financial sector reform agenda to address structural impediments to lending, which is essential for private sector development. We recommend accelerating the issuance of land titles, which would offer a crucial source of collateral to households and businesses seeking credit from banks.

“The team had fruitful discussions with Prime Minister Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, Minister of Finance Santina Cardoso, Central Bank Governor Hélder Lopes, other senior officials, development partners, the private sector, and civil society. On behalf of the IMF team, I would like to thank the Timorese authorities for their hospitality and excellent cooperation.”

MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Reaches Staff-Level Agreement with Papua New Guinea on a Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) Arrangement and the Third Reviews Under the Extended Credit Facility and the Extended Fund Facility
Source: IMF – News in Russian

October 8, 2024

End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country or a virtual staff visit. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion and decision.
- The Papua New Guinea authorities and the IMF team reached staff-level agreement on the request for access under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) for about US$265 million to enhance resilience to climate change. The IMF Executive Board will consider the request in the coming weeks.
- The authorities and the IMF team also reached staff-level agreement on the third reviews of the authorities’ reform program supported by the IMF’s Extended Credit Facility and the Extended Fund Facility.
- Papua New Guinea’s outlook remains positive, with economic growth increasing to 4.5 percent in 2024, and the authorities continue to make progress in implementing their homegrown economic reform program.
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team led by Mr. Tahsin Saadi Sedik, visited Port Moresby from September 26 to October 9, 2024, to review progress under the authorities’ homegrown economic reforms supported by the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangements of SDR684.3 million (about US$918 million), and to discuss the authorities’ request for access to the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).

At the conclusion of the mission, Mr. Saadi Sedik issued the following statement:

“I am pleased to announce that IMF staff and the Papua New Guinea (PNG) authorities have reached a staff-level agreement on (i) the policies needed to complete the third reviews of the ECF and EFF arrangements; and (ii) a new 24-month RSF arrangement with access of SDR197.4 million (about US$265 million), which will run in parallel to the ECF-EFF arrangements, to support the authorities’ policy agenda aimed at enhancing resilience to climate change.

“To enhance PNG’s capacity to address challenges posed by climate change and reinforce its resilience, the proposed RSF arrangement, subject to approval by the IMF Executive Board, would help build policy buffers and contribute to enhancing the effective implementation of PNG’s climate commitments. PNG would become the first Pacific Island country to benefit from RSF support. Building on these commitments, reforms under the proposed RSF arrangement will focus on strengthening disaster risk management capacity, supporting the inclusion of climate considerations in public investment decisions, encouraging the development of green finance, and enhancing mitigation policies. These reforms, which will be supported by capacity development activities from PNG’s international partners, are expected to catalyze financing for climate and sustainable development.

“The completion of the third reviews of the ECF-EFF, upon approval by the Executive Board of the IMF, would allow for the immediate disbursement of SDR94.75 million (approximately US$127 million) in financing, bringing the total IMF financial support disbursed thus far under the ECF-EFF arrangements to SDR321.12 million (about US$430 million). Adding the new RSF support, the total IMF commitment under all these arrangements would be SDR881.72 million (about US$1.19 billion).

“Papua New Guinea’s economic outlook remains positive. Growth is expected to increase to 4.5 percent in 2024 from 2.9 percent in 2023, supported by the resumption of activities at the Porgera gold mine and improvements in access to foreign exchange. Average headline inflation is projected to remain historically low at 1.3 percent in 2024, while core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as betel nut, is projected to moderately increase to 3.9 percent in 2024, while staying below the historical average, mainly driven by food and transportation costs. Gross international reserves stood at US$3.2 billion at end-June 2024, providing space to continue implementing central banking reforms.

“Performance since the start of the ECF-EFF arrangements has been strong. The government of PNG has continued to make progress in implementing its structural reform agenda, focused on advancing budget repair, modernizing central banking, and improving governance. These reforms are bearing fruit, with notable positive outcomes including: (i) the easing of foreign exchange shortages, which contributes to improving the business environment; (ii) the reduction of excess liquidity in the banking sector, which enhances monetary policy transmission; (iii) a lower fiscal deficit, which strengthens public debt sustainability; and (iv) progress in the operationalization of the anti-corruption framework.

“The government remains committed to an ambitious fiscal consolidation strategy set out in its 13-year budget repair plan. After reducing the fiscal deficit by 0.9 percentage points of GDP in 2023, while creating space for more social spending, the authorities are on track to deliver an additional 0.4 percentage points of GDP reduction in 2024. The authorities remain committed to implementing their prudent borrowing strategy aimed at preserving debt sustainability.

“The Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG) has continued to actively implement its roadmap of reforms to help alleviate foreign exchange shortages, gradually return to kina convertibility, and modernize its monetary policy operations. The increased flexibility of the exchange rate under the de facto crawl-like arrangement, combined with the BPNG’s foreign exchange intervention strategy, has supported improved access to foreign exchange, particularly for essential import orders. The reduction of the structural misalignment of the kina will help enhance the competitiveness of PNG’s exports, including in the agricultural sector, and thus increase rural incomes and improve living standards. The BPNG continues monitoring developments in domestic financial markets and stands ready to calibrate its policy stance accordingly. The BPNG is also modernizing its monetary policy operations, enabling commercial banks to improve their liquidity management. Amendments to the Central Banking Act, adopted in September by Parliament, have significantly improved the mandate, governance, and autonomy of the BPNG.

“The governance and anti-corruption frameworks are being strengthened. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), benefiting from a significant increase in funding, has successfully defined its operational procedures and set up more secure information systems.

“The IMF will continue to work closely with the Papua New Guinea authorities and stands ready to help them, not only through financing and policy advice, but also through technical assistance.

“The IMF staff team is grateful to the authorities for their warm hospitality, productive collaboration, and candid policy dialogue. The IMF team held meetings with Minister for Treasury Ian Ling-Stuckey, Governor of BPNG Elizabeth Genia, Secretary of Treasury Andrew Oaeke, and other senior government officials. The team also had constructive meetings with representatives from the private sector and development partners.”

MIL-OSI Russia: Robotic surgeons, transplantation and research. How Botkin Hospital became a scientific and clinical center

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

More than 90 clinical departments, a flagship emergency center, minimally invasive surgery, innovative equipment, organ transplantation, scientific research and implementation of advanced technologies. This is what it looks like today City Clinical Hospital named after S.P. Botkin. It recently received a new status – Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific and Clinical Center (MMNCC). This is a natural result of the evolution that the hospital has undergone over the past 10 years. A mos.ru correspondent spoke with doctors about its key transformations.

What specialized medical centers have opened in renovated buildings, how are cancers treated at stage zero, what surgeries are performed by robots, how innovators create cutting-edge technologies, and why is city recognition important to them – in our article.

From emergency care to bone marrow transplants

The transformation of the Botkin Hospital began about 10 years ago, since then 11 buildings have been built and renovated. Specialized medical centers are being opened in them, where they provide a full cycle of care – from diagnostics to treatment and dynamic monitoring.

In 2024, the hospital will celebrate 114 years since its foundation. All these years, it has been providing emergency medical care in various areas. We maintain centuries-old traditions and introduce new technologies into our work. We create unique specialized centers, use innovative equipment, develop minimally invasive surgery, train doctors, conduct scientific research and develop advanced treatment methods. Thanks to the achievements of recent years, the hospital has received the status of a scientific and clinical center Dmitry Grekov Deputy Director for Clinical Work of the Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific and Clinical Center named after S.P. Botkin

In 2019, the only city ophthalmology center in the capital began operating — one of the largest and most modern specialized centers in Russia and Europe. It treats any eye pathologies. Later, the hematology building was modernized, where courses of chemo-, immuno-, and targeted therapy, as well as bone marrow transplantation, are now conducted. In the outpatient oncology care center, under the supervision of one team of doctors, you can undergo pathomorphological examinations, receive radiation and surgical treatment. The interdistrict nephrology center specializes in the treatment of kidney pathologies: hemodialysis, replacement therapy, transplantation. Another transformation of the Botkin Hospital is the launch in 2021 of the first high-throughput endoscopic center in Moscow for the early diagnosis of oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Patients from the risk group are referred here.

“Every fourth patient in the capital has neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. But they can be avoided if screening is performed in time. The center conducts gastro- and colonoscopy under intravenous anesthesia, and if polyps are detected, endoscopists remove them immediately. Sometimes we already see tumor cells in the removed polyps, this is stage zero cancer. After the procedure, the patient does not need medications or operations – only regular examinations. Over three years of work, the center has conducted almost 130 thousand studies and removed about 15 thousand formations. That is, we have already prevented oncology in so many people,” Dmitry Grekov emphasized.

Last year, the Botkin Hospital opened a flagship emergency medical care center; during the first 24 hours of hospitalization, patients undergo diagnostics, surgical treatment, and intensive care. That same year, the Moscow City Urology Center opened, which became the largest in Russia.

Sergei Sobyanin spoke about the comprehensive modernization of the Botkin Hospital Thanks to nephrology centers in Moscow, the number of emergency hospitalizations for kidney diseases has decreased The capital reported on the results of the work of endoscopic centers over three years Operations of any complexity and high technology: a tour of the flagship and urological centers of the Botkin Hospital

Laparoscopes, surgical robots and neuronavigators

The S.P. Botkin MMNCC is a leader in the number of high-tech surgeries performed. Innovative equipment has made it possible to develop minimally invasive surgery. During laparoscopy, the doctor does not make large incisions, but inserts an endoscope with a camera transmitting an image to the screen and instruments through punctures into the organ. With the endovascular method, vessels are operated through punctures.

“Minimally invasive surgery has become commonplace for us. We are also pioneers in robotic technologies. In 2013, the first Da Vinci robot appeared in the hospital in Moscow, now we have six of them. They operate following the surgeon’s commands. Their “hands” can perform complex manipulations, as they rotate 540 degrees. Robots remove tumors in the liver, lungs, stomach, mediastinal tumors (this is an anatomical space in the middle sections of the chest cavity). They have no equal in narrow places: the rectum, pelvis, prostate gland. With the help of the Da Vinci robot, more than 10 thousand operations have already been performed in our clinic,” said Dmitry Grekov.

The MMNCC has modern CT and MRI machines at its disposal. Angiographs visualize the lumen of blood vessels and heart cavities. In neurosurgery and ophthalmology, intraoperative microscopes are indispensable for detailing deep lesions. The neuronavigator builds a route to the affected area of the brain so that the surgeon does not touch functionally significant areas.

“Our center has one of the largest experience in Russia in using minimally invasive methods to treat people with complicated malignant neoplasms. We have almost all medical specialties, which has allowed us to form multidisciplinary teams and make decisions at a single consultation. For example, we have already performed more than 10 operations for kidney tumors, when the tumor thrombus grows along the inferior vena cava and reaches the heart. In such a situation, the operating team consists of urologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular and abdominal surgeons,” the doctor said.

A place where medical work is inseparable from scientific work

Treatment should go hand in hand with science – this is the principle of the S.P. Botkin MMNCC. Since its foundation in 1910 to the present day, the institution remains an innovator. All scientific staff are practicing doctors.

Our goal is to improve treatment methods and medical technologies based on our experience. We see a weak point and try to find a solution. We start by analyzing the results. We performed surgery on 300 people, and 10 percent had postoperative complications. What factors influenced the procedure — age, smoking, diabetes? Statistics indicate the cause, and the team begins to create a medicine, a new treatment strategy, or a device. The development is tested at the center, and then the database is collected again. One study takes an average of three years. In emergency surgery, the results are immediately visible: on the 10th day after the operation, it is clear whether there are complications or not. In oncology, you have to wait for years for the results Pavel Drozdov Deputy Director for Science, S.P. Botkin Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific and Clinical Center

If the effectiveness is proven, the new technology is “broadcast” to the capital’s medicine. In 2015, the city’s first simulation center opened in the hospital. There are simulators for endovascular and maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and endoscopy. For example, Moscow doctors are taught to perform laparoscopic surgeries on organ dummies. Some simulators recreate acute cholecystitis and appendicitis, and intestinal obstruction.

The MMNCC team has repeatedly received the Russian Federation Government Prize in Science and Technology. Success was achieved in the treatment of pancreatic necrosis, a condition in which part of the pancreas becomes necrotic, causing its juice to digest nearby tissues. The team determined the types of this pathology (the tail, head, or entire gland died) and treatment tactics for each of them, for which they were awarded.

Doctors were also awarded for developing minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment of abdominal tumors: they wrote instructions on how to use laparoscopy and robots for interventions on the liver, stomach, and intestines. Doctors were also encouraged for creating a technology for machine perfusion of donor kidneys and liver. In order for organ cells to function while waiting for a transplant, they began to be enriched with a solution saturated with oxygen. This way they take root faster in the recipient.

“Awards are not the goal of our work, but they are recognition of our contribution to the development of medicine. We managed to prove that we are not just a hospital, and as a result, we received the status of a scientific and clinical center. We plan to expand the staff of scientific employees and continue to improve the quality of care,” added Pavel Drozdov.

Scientific work has been carried out in neurology, cardiology, neurosurgery, hematology and other areas, many projects receive grants from the city. The endoscopic method of operating on ulcers complicated by bleeding comes from the MMNCC. Within the walls of the center, a synthetic prosthesis-loop with a tension control mechanism for people suffering from urinary incontinence has been developed, as well as a program based on artificial intelligence, which helps diagnose prostate cancer, select therapy, and predict the course of the disease.

Currently, doctors are working on an algorithm for performing different types of keratoplasty (surgery to restore the cornea). MMNKTs has something to share: it is the only city clinic that performs corneal transplants.

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

The decision to create a joint group was made at a meeting held at NSU. It was attended by Rector of the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi Zhanseit Kanseitula Tuimebayev, Rector of NSU Mikhail Fedoruk and Head of the NSU Endowment Fund Igor Kim. The main task of the working group will be to work out the possibilities of opening a branch under the public-private partnership scheme. Until now, there have been no such examples in the practice of Russian universities.

At the present moment, together with representatives of the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi and the NSU Alumni Association in Kazakhstan, a lot of preparatory work has already been done to open the branch, a list of natural science and interdisciplinary areas (profiles) of higher education training at NSU has been compiled, which may be of interest to Kazakhstani applicants to the NSU branch.

Representatives of the two universities also signed an agreement to extend cooperation in the educational, scientific and cultural spheres for 5 years – until 2029. The main areas are:

– development and implementation of joint scientific research and activities in priority areas of the Parties;

– organizing the exchange of teachers and staff for giving lectures, conducting classes, and supervising diploma and dissertation research;

– organization of academic exchange and internships for teachers, master’s and doctoral students;

– improving the qualifications of the teaching staff and research staff;

– development of joint educational programs.

As the rectors of the universities noted at the meeting, in the near future the main focus will be on cooperation in the field of science, part of which will be joint developments. Interaction in the educational sphere will also be strengthened. In order to achieve these goals, the parties agreed to draw up a roadmap for the development and expansion of cooperation between the two universities.

Currently, NSU cooperates with 16 leading universities of Kazakhstan, 6 of them in the field of IT technologies. Currently, about 180 Kazakhstani students study at Novosibirsk State University, mainly at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the Humanities Institute and the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies.

NSU also actively interacts with universities in Kazakhstan in the field of scientific research. Thus, NSU teachers and staff regularly travel to Kazakhstan to give lectures, participate in conferences and joint field expeditions on geology and archeology. Every year, NSU hosts participants in scientific events and internships from leading universities in Kazakhstan. In 2020, cooperation agreements were signed with such scientific organizations of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan as the Institute of Information and Computing Technologies and the Institute of History and Ethnology named after Ch. Ch. Valikhanov. In 2024, a memorandum was signed with the Dermatovenereological Dispensary of the Turkestan Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

MIL-OSI Russia: More than 190 thousand real estate objects have received addresses since the beginning of the year

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

In the first three quarters of this year, 191.2 thousand city real estate properties have received addresses. A third of them are located in the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts (TiNAO). This was reported by the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of City Property Maxim Gaman.

“Over nine months, 12 thousand capital construction projects in Moscow — buildings and structures, as well as 78.5 thousand apartments, almost 50 thousand non-residential premises, 27 thousand parking spaces and 23.5 thousand land plots — received addresses. The largest number of addresses — almost 70 thousand — appeared in TiNAO. Also, among the districts, the northeast of the capital is in the lead, where 17 thousand addresses were assigned in three quarters,” said Maxim Gaman.

The Department of City Property provides services for assigning, changing and canceling addresses for all objects, except for the Skolkovo Innovation Center, on the territory of Moscow free of charge. The technical part of the work is performed by specialists of the Moscow City Bureau of Technical Inventory (MosgorBTI).

Addressing is carried out both at the initiative of the city and at the request of the owner – an individual or legal entity, an individual entrepreneur. To do this, you must submit an application on the mos.ru portal.

“In addition to maintaining the capital’s address register, MosgorBTI specialists also ensure the transfer of address data to the Federal Information Address System (FIAS). This is a resource that collects information about the addresses of real estate objects throughout the country. Despite the largest number of records, Moscow ranks first in terms of filling and updating FIAS information. For more than 97 percent of the capital’s real estate, up-to-date data from the Unified State Register of Real Estate – cadastral numbers – have been added to the database,” said Dmitry Tetushkin, General Director of MosgorBTI.

In addition to addressing real estate, MosgorBTI offers Moscow residents a wide range of services, including cadastral and geodetic work, technical inventory, preparation of design documentation and approval of apartment redevelopment.

MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow Chamber Orchestra Musica Viva regularly organizes concerts for wounded SVO soldiers

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The Moscow Chamber Orchestra Musica Viva, subordinate to the capital’s Department of Culture, regularly organizes concerts and performances for wounded soldiers of the special military operation (SVO) at concert venues and in hospitals together with the charitable foundation “Our Power of Good”.

The charitable foundation “Our Power of Good” was created in March 2023. Its task is to socialize disabled participants of the SVO, promote their involvement in the full life of society, and also help in acquiring the necessary skills taking into account the injuries received.

The collaboration between the foundation and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra Musica Viva began on January 23, when 10 members of the SVO, including wheelchair users undergoing rehabilitation in the capital’s hospitals, attended a concert in the large hall of the Moscow Concert Hall “Zaryadye”. Then the wounded soldiers attended the orchestra’s performances in the Great Hall of the Moscow State Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky and the Concert Hall named after P.I. Tchaikovsky.

The foundation’s wards heard such immortal masterpieces as the Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, works by Astor Piazzolla, and symphonies by Robert Schumann. In addition, outstanding Russian soloists performed for them: opera diva Vasilisa Berzhanskaya, laureates of international violin competitions Daniil Kogan, Ravilya Islyamova, and Elena Korzhenevich. The SVO participants became acquainted with the art of the Moscow State Academic Chamber Choir “Minin Choir”. Many of them were introduced to classical music for the first time.

When wounded soldiers attend concerts of the Musica Viva orchestra, they meet the artists backstage and communicate in an informal setting. Music inspires soldiers, gives strength, heals not only physical wounds, but also the soul. At the meetings, words of gratitude are heard to the SVO participants for their bravery, fortitude and endurance. The musicians note that it is important for them to help people who risked their lives to defend the Motherland. The total number of SVO participants who attended the performances exceeded 300 people.

In addition, since November 2023, the Musica Viva orchestra has been collaborating with the Central Clinical Military Sanatorium in Arkhangelskoye, performing for the SVO soldiers undergoing rehabilitation there. The first concert was held in the medical building, the second – in the institution’s club. According to military tradition, the soldiers greeted the orchestra with three cheers. The hospital management awarded the performances with certificates of gratitude and asked to prepare a special musical gift for the audience next time – the march “Farewell of Slavyanka”.

For each member of the orchestra, performing for the defenders of the Motherland is a special honor. In this way, the artists contribute to the overall victory.

This was reported by the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of Urban Development Policy Vladislav Ovchinsky.

The building is located at the address: 1st Nagatinsky proezd, building 10. It was built in the style of modern minimalism, so it blends in organically with the adjacent buildings of the technology park thanks to the use of similar facade materials.

“The multifunctional complex consists of seven above-ground, two underground and one basement floors. It includes laboratories, sports and fitness and administrative premises. The complex building is connected to the existing building of the innovation and industrial complex by an above-ground passage at the level of the first floor and an underground passage at the level of the minus second floor. In addition, an underground passage to the prospective development near the northern border of the site is provided,” said Vladislav Ovchinsky.

The engineering block contains laboratory and administrative premises, a control room, laboratories, laboratory utility rooms, technical rooms, a shared use center (coworking area), acoustic office cabins, auxiliary and technical rooms, and a balcony with a usable terrace.

The laboratories will conduct tests of electronic systems of cars and issue conclusions based on their results. They also plan to check the acoustic systems of cars and motorcycles for compliance with sound quality and noise level certificates.

The physical education and health block houses martial arts halls, functional training, group classes, fitness, a massage room and a hammam, as well as various service and administrative departments, tennis courts and a gym.

Based on the results of the comprehensive final inspection, the Committee for State Construction Supervision of the City of Moscow (Mosgosstroynadzor) issued a conclusion on the compliance of the facility with the design documentation.

“The engineering building was erected in five years, and throughout all stages of construction the committee monitored the progress of the work – a total of 29 on-site inspections were conducted at the site. Now the developer can prepare documentation to obtain permission to put the building into operation,” added the chairman of Mosgosstroynadzor

Anton Slobodchikov.

MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin: Social coordinators provided 250 thousand services to hospital patients and their relatives

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The unique Moscow service “Social Service in Hospitals” has turned three years old. During this time, social coordinators have provided patients and their relatives with more than 250 thousand services. About this in his blog Sergei Sobyanin said.

“When we launched this project, we had no doubt that it would definitely be in demand. There is little pleasant about going to the hospital: hospitalization, even planned, disrupts the usual way of life. Worrying about one’s own health is often mixed with other worries. When it comes to emergency cases, it is very easy to get confused,” the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Hospitalized Muscovites face many questions. For example, how to tell relatives what happened if you don’t have your phone with you or it’s dead? Who will look after a small child? How to cope with household chores after discharge if you live alone? Hundreds of other questions arise.

Previously, nurses and doctors had to deal with their solution. This took a lot of time, distracting them from their direct responsibilities. Now, in every Moscow adult and children’s hospital, specialized specialists – social coordinators – have taken on the solution of non-medical problems. They come to the aid of elderly or lonely people, patients with disabilities and low-mobility Muscovites, as well as everyone who, due to various circumstances, finds themselves in a difficult life situation.

To contact social coordinators, you do not need to write an application. The specialists themselves meet new patients every morning, delve into their problems and begin to help. If necessary, they involve other departments and organizations of the city.

“If necessary, social coordinators will help with home care services or round-the-clock care in the city’s social inpatient institutions. In children’s hospitals, they primarily provide consultations on various social protection services. For example, they advise how to contact the early assistance service if developmental peculiarities are detected,” Sergei Sobyanin noted.

Despite typical situations, each case of helping patients is unique. Over the years of work, social coordinators have accumulated many successful stories.

Stories of Help

Thus, an elderly patient Antonina Ivanovna was admitted to the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. Due to poor health, she did not have time to inform her relatives that she was hospitalized, and she did not have a mobile phone. And the woman did not take the necessary things with her. Social coordinators immediately came to the rescue: they connected her with her beloved grandson. The news that his grandmother was in the hospital took him by surprise, but the young man immediately said that he would bring everything necessary and would definitely visit Antonina Ivanovna. Now she is at home, and her relatives regularly come to visit.

A patient named Valeria was admitted to the shock resuscitation department unconscious. She had been in a coma for a long time. When Valeria came to, the doctors asked social coordinators for help: they needed to establish her identity and find her relatives. At that time, the girl could not speak. The coordinators selected simple words and short questions, used letters of the alphabet, city maps, and caught her every move. In this way, they managed to find out the patient’s name and date of birth. After that, the coordinators began studying social networks, involved the police and the LizaAlert squad in the search. A week later, they found Valeria’s father, who had already lost hope of finding out where his daughter was.

Tatyana Viktorovna came to the emergency room on her own. Doctors examined the elderly woman and, finding no reason for hospitalization, asked social coordinators to talk to her. During the conversation, it turned out that Tatyana Viktorovna had a passport, money, keys to the apartment and a train ticket from St. Petersburg. She assured that she had come to Moscow to see her children, but could not give either their address or phone numbers, and confused events and dates. Specialists came to the conclusion that the woman suffered from dementia. People with cognitive impairments often get lost. Social coordinators contacted the LizaAlert search service and with their help found Tatyana Viktorovna’s son, who, like her, lives in St. Petersburg. The man immediately went to Moscow to pick up his mother.

Young mother Olga was walking with her two-year-old son on the playground when she suddenly began to lose consciousness. The woman was taken to the hospital with her child, but she did not have time to tell anyone about it. While doctors were providing Olga with the necessary medical care, social coordinators looked after the baby and contacted the woman’s husband. He came to the hospital and took his son.

Help in alarming situations: social coordinators are now working in four more children’s city hospitals Attention and care: social coordinators have been helping patients in the capital’s hospitals for two years
