This was reported by Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of City Property.

    “Four years ago, the first to receive notifications about the start of resettlement under the renovation program in the Butyrsky District were about 430 Muscovites from house 28, blocks 1 and 2 on Yablochkova Street. Today, more than 1.3 thousand city residents from seven buildings of the old housing stock already have new apartments in the district. In total, about 4.5 thousand people from 27 houses are to be resettled here under the renovation program. The city provides housing with ready-made improved finishing so that Muscovites do not have to postpone moving because of repairs,” said Ekaterina Solovyova.

    This year, residents of the Butyrsky District began inspecting apartments in two new buildings – house 28 on Yablochkova Street and house 7, block 2 on Milashenkova Street. The residential complexes were built taking into account the principles of a barrier-free environment. The same criteria were observed in the improvement of the adjacent territories, which is especially important for city residents with disabilities, older people and families with small children.

    “Since the beginning of the program, the city has handed over three residential complexes in the Butyrsky District of the capital for settlement. In total, 694 apartments with finished improved finishes have been designed in them. Nine of them have been adapted for people with limited mobility – the width of corridors and doorways has been increased, and special handrails have been provided in the bathrooms. Elevators have also been installed in the entrances of the new buildings, rooms for concierges and storage rooms for strollers and bicycles have been equipped. The areas around the buildings have been improved: comprehensive landscaping has been carried out, outdoor lighting and video surveillance cameras have been installed. In addition, areas for active recreation and sports have been equipped in the courtyards,” clarified the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin spoke about resettlement under the renovation program in Khoroshevo-Mnevniki.

    The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin ordered to increase the pace of implementation of the renovation program in twice.

    Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. High rates of housing construction correspond to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

    At the urban project seminar “Call me back yourself” will tell about new types of fraud. These may be messages about supposedly profitable investments of savings in company shares under the guidance of an experienced investor, about capitalization at high interest rates, about participation in non-existent innovative projects, as well as fake investments in startups and other financial schemes for deceiving residents.

    “Investments and savings deposits with interest are an opportunity to receive passive income and accumulate funds. However, it is important to remember that no financial institution will work at a loss to itself and offer interest rates higher than the market average or guaranteed profitability conditions for a project that is just starting up. Fraudsters use various tricks and techniques to convince residents to transfer money to accounts: they create websites with advantageous offers similar to well-known companies, offer deposits on extremely favorable terms, and promise a several-fold increase in profits. At the new seminar of the “Call Me Back” project, experts will tell you what to pay attention to when receiving advantageous financial offers so as not to fall for the tricks of intruders, and will also remind you of the importance of cyber hygiene,” said Valentina Shilina, head of the “Call Me Back” project of the capital’s Department of Information Technology.

    The event will take place on July 17 at 11:00. It can be visited in person or join the broadcast on a social network “VKontakte”.

    Using real-life examples, they will explain popular techniques of fraudsters in the field of financial pyramids and investments, share tips on how to protect your savings and funds, and answer questions from participants.

    For example, scammers deceive city dwellers using duplicate websites, job interviews in companies where they promise high income after purchasing products, investing in startups and even multiplayer games. They use similar techniques for different audiences: an offer, convincing of reliability through false guarantees and fake documents, pressure on emotions and pushing to make a quick decision, pressure with authority or persuasion.

    Following the seminar, the project website will be updated in the section “Webinar Archive” A recording and useful materials based on expert recommendations will be available.

    The online information project “Call Back Yourself” was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government together with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. It helps city residents protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. The project’s website contains information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as memos and recommendations from experts, recordings of past webinars and other useful materials.

    In 2023, the Call Me Back project won the Golden Site award in the Best Social Project Website category. It was also awarded the Runet Prize in the Information Security category.

    The creation and support of information security tools, as well as counteracting cyber fraud, corresponds to the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: HSE researchers teach neural networks to distinguish origins from genetically close populations

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University “Higher School of Economics” –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    INInstitute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences FKN HSE University has proposed a new approach based on modern machine learning methods to determine a person’s genetic origin. Graph neural networks make it possible to distinguish even very close populations with high accuracy.

    Genetic analysis is a service that has become popular in the last 10-15 years not only as a medical diagnostic tool, but also as an opportunity to learn more about one’s origins. DNA analysis allows one to assess ethnic composition, determine where ancestors lived and moved, and find the number of Neanderthal mutations in the genome.

    This has become possible thanks to the development of modern technologies – genotyping, data storage and processing systems, machine learning – and a significant reduction in their cost. But at the same time, existing testing methods do not allow us to separate genetically close, related populations that have lived in adjacent territories for a long time.

    Researchers at the HSE Institute of AI and Digital Sciences have developed a method that allows one to distinguish the origins of people from closely related populations. The technology is based on graph neural networks. The algorithm relies not on the DNA sequence itself, but on graphs that indicate genetic connections between people with common sections of the genome. Such sections reflect the degree of kinship between people and indicate how many generations ago they had common ancestors. The more matches, the closer the people are in origin. The vertices in the model correspond to a person, and the edges reflect the degree of kinship.

    The method was tested on data from different regions. The results for the population of the East European Plain, for which a large database has already been collected, were especially interesting. The graph neural network was able to accurately determine the population affiliation of representatives of genetically very close peoples.

    “Existing methods of genetic analysis solve a different problem: they determine belonging to large isolated populations, for example, they determine who had French, who had Germans, who had English in their ancestry. Our method allows us to work with closely related populations, which is especially relevant for Russia, a historically multinational country,” says Alexey Shmelev, one of the authors of the work, a research intern.International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational GenomicsInstitute of AI and Digital Sciences, Faculty of Computer Science, National Research University Higher School of Economics.

    In the future, the researchers plan to teach the neural network to predict the percentage of different populations in the genome.

    The researchers registered theirdevelopmentcalled AncestryGNN — “Neural Network Prediction of Population Belonging from Common Genome Segments.”

    As Vladimir Shchur, head of the International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics at the Institute of AI and Digital Sciences of the Faculty of Computer Science at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, noted, the proposed method opens up new prospects for more accurately determining the population history of people and can be used in genealogical research and anthropology.

    BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Who doesn’t want to vacation at a seaside resort during the peak summer season? With beautiful scenery, well-maintained beaches, a variety of cultural and entertainment events and modern service infrastructure, China’s Qinhuangdao has everything to attract tourists looking to escape the summer heat.

    The summer resort of Qinhuangdao in Hebei Province in northern China is popular not only among Chinese, but also among foreigners. According to statistics, last year Beidaihe, one of the districts of Qinhuangdao, was visited by about 30.9 thousand foreign tourists, including 24.5 thousand Russians.

    As for Russians, especially residents of the Far East and Siberia, one more advantage of the Chinese resort city for them should be added – geographical proximity. The flight time from Vladivostok to Qinhuangdao is about two and a half hours.

    Russians have another option to get to Qinhuangdao. Since the beginning of last month, about 3,000 Russian tourists have entered China through the Manzhouli checkpoint and have gone on train tours from there.

    The Manzhouli checkpoint is located in the city of the same name in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which borders on Russia’s Zabaikalsky Krai. According to the press service of the city’s government, 180 foreigners recently traveled from Manzhouli to the city of Qinhuangdao on the K1302 high-speed passenger train.

    Train K1302 Manzhouli-Beijing departs at 09:07 and arrives in Qinhuangdao the following day.

    Compared with air travel, rail travel does not save time, but it does save on ticket costs. The cost of a reserved seat train ticket on the Manzhouli-Qinhuangdao route starts from 363 yuan /about 4,000 rubles/, and in a compartment – 572 yuan /6,000 rubles/.

    The 24-hour train journey can be quite impressive for passengers who have never visited China before. During the day, the train offers idyllic views of blue skies and the vast Hulunbuir steppe with its flocks of sheep, while in the evening, when the train stops at Qiqihar and Daqing in Heilongjiang Province, passengers can admire the views of modern, densely populated cities.

    As the number of foreign travelers continues to increase, railway staff in Manzhouli are doing their utmost to assist them.

    A “green corridor” is opened for foreigners at the railway station. English- and Russian-speaking staff are on duty in the waiting room and on the platform. Passengers are also provided with free drinks, chargers and emergency medications.

    “We will continue to optimize service measures and improve service quality to ensure that passengers feel at home when traveling in China,” said Liu Ying, a station attendant. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: After a heart attack, 44% of patients abandon therapy, risking a repeat attack – study by RUDN scientists

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peoples’Friendship University of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Researchers from the RUDN Medical Institute and Moscow City Polyclinic No. 2 analyzed how patients after acute myocardial infarction comply with recommendations for taking dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) — a combination of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and a P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor, clopidogrel or prasugrel). The work was awarded first place in the Competition of scientific works of young scientists in the field of drug safety “LekBez 2025” at the III Russian Congress “Pharmacotherapy Safety 360°: Noli nocere!”

    The study included 168 patients who demonstrated high adherence to dual antiplatelet therapy in the first 6 months after myocardial infarction and assessed how their behavior changed over the course of a year, as well as the relationship between adherence, bleeding complications of therapy and the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events.

    After myocardial infarction, DAPT is critical to prevent recurrent infarctions. However, according to the study results, 43.5% of patients stopped adhering to the therapy regimen in the second half of the year, despite preferential provision of drugs in Moscow. 24.4% of patients experienced hemorrhagic complications (bleeding), which forced them to independently adjust or stop treatment. An additional problem was the rare use of the PRECISE-DAPT scale by doctors to predict bleeding, although this risk was high in 22.6% of patients when assessed in the study. These circumstances lead to a dilemma: refusal of DAPT reduces the number of bleedings, but increases the risk of recurrent infarctions. For example, non-adherent patients were hospitalized due to cardiac complications in the second half of the year more than three times more often than those who continued therapy.

    “Solving this problem requires a comprehensive approach. First of all, it is necessary to implement treatment adherence monitoring by recording electronic prescriptions. This will allow doctors to track the patient’s compliance with therapy in real time and promptly adjust prescriptions. In addition, an individual approach to therapy adjustment is necessary. For example, in case of mild bleeding, it is advisable to temporarily reduce the dose of acetylsalicylic acid (19.5% of cases) or replace ticagrelor with clopidogrel (9.8%). For patients with a high risk of bleeding according to the PRECISE-DAPT scale, international recommendations provide for a reduction in the duration of DAPT to 3-6 months. It is equally important to implement continuous education among both patients and healthcare professionals. Patients need to be explained the risks associated with interrupting therapy, and doctors need to be informed about the importance of using modern bleeding risk assessment scales to prescribe the correct personalized treatment,” says Dmitry Klyuev, assistant professor at the Department of General and Clinical Pharmacology, RUDN Medical Institute.

    The study was conducted by a research team from RUDN University. Among the co-authors:

    Sergey Fitilev, Professor of the Department of General and Clinical Pharmacology; Irina Shkrebneva, Associate Professor of the Department of General and Clinical Pharmacology; Alexander Vozzhaev, Professor of the Department of General and Clinical Pharmacology; Anna Ovaeva, Assistant of the Department of General and Clinical Pharmacology.

    BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — A ceremony to establish a multimodal digital laboratory for the inheritance of the Manas epic culture was held recently in Atushi, Kyzylsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the prefectural administration said.

    The lab was jointly established by the prefectural people’s government and Xinjiang Normal University as part of the Manas-themed International Cultural and Tourism Festival held in the prefecture from July 13 to 20.

    The new laboratory will facilitate the digital preservation of materials and resources related to the epic, as well as its active dissemination through digital technologies, in order to give new impetus to this masterpiece of art, the press service said in a statement.

    Vice-president of Xinjiang Normal University Liu Chenjiang noted that Manas currently faces problems such as aging heirs and limited distribution. Digital technology not only helps preserve valuable performance videos over long periods, but also allows the younger generation to immerse themselves in the charm of the epic through interactive exhibitions, VR performances and other forms.

    The heroic epic “Manas” is a cycle of tales related to the life and exploits of the main character – the legendary hero Manas, the unifier of the Kyrgyz tribes. It occupies an important place in the oral folklore of the Kyrgyz. This epic poem is known as one of the three heroic epics of the national minorities of China, along with the heroic epics “King Gesar” of the Tibetan ethnic group and “Dzhangar” of the Mongolian ethnic group.

    Manas was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009. As far as historians know, it was passed down orally by folk artists who performed it with a unique chant rhythm before attempts were made to record it in written form.

    In addition to the establishment of this laboratory and the holding of a thematic cultural festival, the XUAR authorities have taken various measures to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of the Manas epic, including organizing courses and competitions for storytellers and the entry into force of a legislative act on the preservation of the Manas epic in May of this year. -0-
