"The largest number of premises restored since 2017 are located in the center of the capital: five in the Tverskoy district, four in Presnensky, three in Khamovniki, two in Basmanny. Investors have restored one property each and are already using it for business in the Zamoskvorechye and Krasnoselsky districts. The historical value of these buildings makes them attractive to tourists and clients, while after restoration, the premises in them meet modern requirements for comfort and safety. Convenient transport accessibility and developed infrastructure nearby also help attract visitors, creating favorable conditions for business development," she specified. Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of City Property.

The work that needs to be done to restore the premises in architectural monuments and the deadlines for their implementation are specified in the purchase and sale agreements. Compliance with security obligations is monitored by a special commission, which includes representatives of the Department of City Property andDepartment of Cultural Heritage.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin ordered the restoration to be carried out by at least 150 objects cultural heritage annually.

On September 4, a ceremonial event dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the institution took place in Vsevolozhsk at the site of the Multicenter for Social and Labor Integration. In the presence of the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Andrey Rudskoy and the director of the Multicenter Irina Drozdenko signed an agreement on strategic partnership. The agreement provides for the development of joint activities in the educational, scientific, technical and social spheres with an emphasis on supporting participants and veterans of the special military operation and is aimed at strengthening the country's technological leadership in accordance with the goals of the federal program "Priority-2030".

The cooperation is being developed as a systemic project of SPbPU — from identifying educational needs and forming a network of partners to designing digital tools and implementing adapted retraining programs. The work is coordinated by the Directorate of Continuing Education and Industry Partnership of SPbPU together with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of the university, which ensures the integration of engineering training with social support mechanisms.

In the near future, a network training and production center for training operators of CNC machines will be opened on the basis of the Multicenter. The emergence of such a laboratory will become an important milestone in applied engineering training and will expand the opportunities for professional retraining for those who have returned from the front and are striving for sustainable employment in industry.

Commenting on the agreements reached, Andrey Rudskoy emphasized: Over the past ten years, the Multicenter has become not just an educational institution, but a real school of social integration and a reliable support for those who especially need help. Support for veterans of the SVO at the Polytechnic is based on a systemic approach: we do not limit ourselves to individual courses, but build holistic educational trajectories – from diagnostics and career guidance to professional retraining and employment. This format allows not only to adapt to civilian life, but also to obtain in-demand competencies for participation in the development of the economy and technological leadership of the country.

Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU Dmitry Tikhonov also outlined his position: Cooperation with the Multicenter is of particular importance to us in the context of creating the Polytechnic Center for Professional Development and New Competencies for Veterans of the SVO. The Polytechnic is already launching the first programs and recruiting military personnel who are fulfilling their military duty for training. In the coming months, we will launch pilot courses to fine-tune the mechanisms of mentoring, internships, and subsequent employment. Our task is to ensure a rapid, practice-oriented transition to in-demand engineering specializations.

The signing of the agreement was a logical continuation of the development of the partnership between SPbPU and the Multicenter insupport for veterans of the SVO and their involvement in solving technological leadership problems. The current stage expands the horizons of cooperation, transforming individual initiatives into a holistic and replicable model – with clear entrances for participants, transparent navigation, mentor support and direct communication with industry requests. The combined efforts of SPbPU and the Multicenter form a sustainable practice that combines respect for human experience with modern technological solutions, and serves as a basis for further scaling in the interests of the region and the country.

Egyptian scientist Abdelraouf Masoud Ali, associate professor of the Department of Rational Nature Management of the Institute of Ecology of RUDN University, became a laureate of the State Incentive Prize of Egypt in the field of agricultural sciences for 2024.

The award is presented annually by the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology for outstanding contributions to the development of science and technology. A total of 40 researchers received it this time.

Science, Drought and Wheat

Dr. Abdelraouf Masoud Ali was recognized for his pioneering scientific work in the application of remote sensing technologies to agricultural and environmental sciences in Egypt and Russia.

In Egypt, his research has significantly advanced the use of spectral and hyperspectral reflectance indices to assess wheat genotypes under salinity and drought conditions, enabling the identification of high-yielding, stress-tolerant varieties vital to the country’s food security. He has also applied satellite data and multi-sensor systems to monitor crop growth, optimize irrigation, and support sustainable land use and water management in arid regions (areas with a dry climate where rainfall is minimal and water loss exceeds input).

"This award is a recognition of the importance of international scientific cooperation. My work brings together the expertise of Egypt and Russia in solving global problems – from food security to environmental protection," – Abdelraouf Masoud Ali.

"We are proud that a RUDN researcher has received such a prestigious state award. His work is an example of how the university unites scientists from all over the world for the sake of sustainable development of the planet," says Dmitry Kucher, Director of the Department of Rational Nature Management of the RUDN Institute of Ecology.

Drones against hogweed

In Russia, the scientist is developing methods of environmental monitoring based on unmanned aerial vehicles. One of his key projects was the development of technologies for identifying and mapping (visual display of data, processes, flows of materials or information for their analysis) an invasive plant – Sosnowsky's hogweed, which threatens ecosystems and public health.

These technologies have provided authorities with reliable tools to assess, localize and control the spread of hogweed, combining modern algorithms and vegetation indices with practical management strategies.

In addition, the scientist’s joint research with colleagues has expanded the scope of digital farming for soybeans and green onions, using drones and Sentinel-2 satellite data to assess germination, calculate biophysical parameters and accurately predict yields. Dr. Ali’s work shows how the synthesis of science and practice can help countries cope with the challenges of the 21st century: climate change, natural resource management, invasive species control and food security.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since April 2021, more than 14 million certificates of child illness have been issued electronically in the capital's polyclinics, of which more than three million were issued in the last academic year. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"Thanks to the digitalization of the social sphere, Moscow parents do not have to send paper certificates of illness of their children to schools and kindergartens. For four years now, such documents have been issued electronically in the capital's clinics and are automatically sent to educational institutions. During this time, more than 14 million electronic documents in the form 095/u have been created in the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System (EMIAS), over three million documents for the past academic year alone. Teachers can see information about the period of exemption of the child from classes and physical activity in the electronic journal "MESh". Such integration saves parents from unnecessary paper documents and worries about whether the child brought a certificate to school," noted Anastasia Rakova.

There is no need to inform the school or kindergarten that the child is sick. Thanks to the integration of EMIAS with the Moscow Electronic School, all information is automatically transferred from the clinic to the educational institution. The certificate is generated by the doctor in EMIAS and becomes available to medical workers of schools and kindergartens in the EMIAS. School system. Parents can also see it in the electronic medical record atmos.ru portal (in the section “Certificates and medical reports”) and in the mobile application “EMIAS.INFO” (in the section “Certificates”).

The child's illness will also be known in clubs and sections. Information about the period of exemption from classes can be seen in the electronic journal "MESh" not only by school employees responsible for additional education, but also by teachers of cultural, leisure and sports organizations of additional education, subordinate to the capital Department of Education and Science.

The medical record in form 026/u, required for admission to school or kindergarten, is also issued in digital form. It is automatically collected based on data from EMIAS and is available both in the clinic and in the medical office of the educational institution in the EMIAS. School system. The data in the medical record is updated as new information about the child appears.

Moscow has been digitalizing its healthcare system for 10 years now. The process is currently based on a single digital platform, which is being developed jointly by the Moscow Social Development Complex and the city Department of Information Technology. It allows for individual management of each patient at all stages — from diagnosis and treatment to follow-up. Thanks to the platform, all data on the health status of city residents is accumulated in a single digital circuit and is available online to both doctors and patients themselves.

The project is in line with the goals and objectives of the national project "A long and active life" and is aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of medical care for Moscow residents.
