During the summer language and cultural camp, foreign students of our university went on an excursion to Peterhof, the famous residence of Russian emperors and one of the most impressive palace and park ensembles in the world. Students from nine countries took part in the trip: India, Zambia, Burundi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cameroon and Cambodia.

From the first minutes of visiting the Grand Peterhof Palace, the students were immersed in the era of luxury and grandeur of the Russian Empire. They saw the state rooms decorated with gold, crystal and paintings, and also learned about the lives of the Russian tsars.

After the tour of the palace, the students went to explore the famous parks of Peterhof. In the Upper Garden, they were greeted by well-kept alleys and symmetrical fountains, and in the Lower Park, a stunning view of the Gulf of Finland and the Chess Mountain cascade. The culmination was the legendary Samson fountain, symbolizing Russia's victory in the Northern War.

But the real surprise for the participants were the famous Peterhof joke fountains! Unprepared for such a fun challenge, the students all fell under the streams of water secretly beating from under the ground. Everyone got wet, but this only added to the laughter and joy.

With friends and our teacher Elizaveta, we went on an amazing excursion to Peterhof! It was my first encounter with this amazing place. It exceeded all expectations. Our guide took us around the palace and told us its history so fascinatingly that time flew by. I really enjoyed it — the excursion was truly interesting and memorable! — shared Dos Santos Pereira Danilson from Guinea-Bissau.

This trip is not just an excursion, but part of a larger summer camp program, where students study Russian, participate in master classes, and get acquainted with Russian culture. The university continues to organize such events, strengthening international ties and creating opportunities for intercultural dialogue.

The staff of the Research Laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University completed a key stage of R&D within the framework of the delivery of a technological complex for laser powder cladding for the LLC "UK "KER-Holding".

Engineers from the Research Laboratory "LiAT" of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University completed the practical part of the project aimed at transferring laser surfacing technologies for the restoration of gas turbine engine components, and conducted acceptance tests of the previously delivered laser powder surfacing technological complex.

The work was carried out as part of the second stage of R & D. The main objective was to implement and test laser cladding modes on two types of parts and control samples, including components made of heat-resistant nickel superalloys. The focus of the project was the restoration of the SGT-300 first-stage nozzle blades and the first-stage working blades of the Taurus 60 gas turbine engine.

All stages were accompanied by a full technological cycle: coordination of sample geometry, fluorescent testing for cracks, development of technological instructions, design and manufacture of equipment.

Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Research Laboratory "LiAT" of the SPbPU Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy, noted: The laboratory staff successfully carried out acceptance tests of the laser cladding complex and demonstrated the applicability of the developed technologies taking into account the specifics of real production conditions. At the next stage, it is planned to equip the complex with a sealed chamber.

Long-term cooperation with UK KER-Holding LLC is one of the examples of how scientific developments of the Scientific Research Laboratory LiAT of IMMiT SPbPU find real application in industry. This is an important step towards the introduction of import-substituting technologies in the field of aviation and power engineering.

Meditation strengthens human speech control mechanisms

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Meditation can not only improve emotional well-being, but also influence the speech functions of the brain, according to the results of a research project by a bachelor's degree graduate Humanitarian Institute Novosibirsk State University in the field of "Fundamental and Applied Linguistics" by Nadezhda Istomina. The results were obtained using electroencephalography (EEG) and concern both speech and motor (non-speech) control of behavior. Her project is part of a larger study conducted by a team led by the head of the laboratory of psychological genetics of the ICG SB RAS and the department of fundamental and applied linguistics of the Humanities Institute of NSU, Doctor of Philosophy Alexander Savostyanov.

— We studied how brain reactions differ in people who practice meditation and those who do not. It turned out that the brain of meditating participants reacts more actively to speech errors. Their neural response was stronger and faster. This indicates a more developed mechanism of speech control, — said Nadezhda Istomina.

The experiments were conducted at the Baikal Meditation Center in Buryatia back in 2018, where the participants were people who had been practicing Buddhist samadhi meditation for a long time, and a control group that had no meditative experience. A total of 204 EEG recordings were analyzed. The participants performed two tasks: stopping a previously started movement on a signal (motor control) and looking for grammatical errors in sentences (speech control).

— The example sentences were as simple as possible, so that even a child could handle them. This helped us focus on the brain’s reaction, not on the complexity of the text. We didn’t want to test grammar knowledge, but to understand how quickly and vividly the brain reacts to an error, — Nadezhda explained.

The most striking differences between the groups were found in speech control. Meditators showed a stronger neural response to speech errors than non-meditators. This effect was independent of age, gender, or personality traits such as anxiety.

For motor control, the differences were less pronounced.

"Here, personality traits played a major role – anxiety, neuroticism level and age. The influence of meditation itself was weaker," she noted.

However, one of the most interesting discoveries concerned the relationship between speech and motor control. Meditators showed a significant correlation between these two systems in the left frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex – in Broca's area, which is responsible for controlling the correctness of speech. No such relationship was observed in the control group. This may indicate that the brain of meditators coordinates speech and motor processes more closely.

"We have shown for the first time that meditation can not only improve general health, but also establish new connections between speech and motor functions in the brain. This opens up interesting prospects – both for science and, possibly, for practice," Nadezhda emphasized.

The study is not yet complete — the work is ongoing, and in the future it is planned to study other possible correlations and mechanisms of the influence of meditative practices on cognitive functions. The team working on the project hopes that the data obtained will help to better understand how meditation affects the brain, and possibly use this knowledge in the treatment of speech disorders or cognitive disorders.

The government has allocated about 52 billion rubles for state support for the formation of long-term savings of citizens

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

About 52 billion rubles will be allocated for state support for the formation of long-term savings of citizens in 2025. The order on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The funds will go to non-state pension funds that carry out activities to form long-term savings for citizens.

The long-term savings program for citizens was launched in 2024 on the instructions of the President of Russia. The program will give people the opportunity to receive additional income in the future. A person can enter into an agreement with a non-state pension fund, transfer contributions to it, and also transfer previously accumulated pension savings for further investment. The state will co-finance these funds for 10 years, that is, add up to 36 thousand rubles per year. Savings will be protected. The guarantee system is the same as when opening deposits, but the insurance amount is twice as large – 2.8 million rubles.

Savings can be used as additional income after 15 years of participation in the program or upon reaching the age of 55 for women and 60 for men. The funds can be withdrawn at any time, but early withdrawal without loss of income is possible in the event of special life situations – for expensive treatment or the loss of a breadwinner.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the Government meeting, August 12, 2025

The issue of allocating funding for state support for the formation of long-term savings in 2025 was considered atGovernment meeting on August 12According to Mikhail Mishustin, the first results show that the instrument is of great interest to citizens – many are transferring their pension savings to the program.

“We expect that thanks to such a partnership, citizens will be able to increase their capital by receiving additional income,” said the head of the Cabinet.

The document will be published.

A meeting on the development of phygital sports in general education organizations was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

It was attended by the Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov, Deputy Minister of Sports Odes Baysultanov, President of the All-Russian Federation of Phygital Sports Nikita Nagorny, as well as representatives of other interested organizations.

"With the support of President Vladimir Putin, the development of an innovative sports movement has been launched – phygital sports, combining digital and physical activities. The first games were successfully held in Kazan, and this movement has already spread to 117 countries. We see evidence of the effectiveness of this format. And our coordinated actions will determine how this movement will develop where it was invented – in Russia, including in the scientific and educational spheres," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He gave examples of the positive impact of phygital on society: for example, at the 2025 Victory Cup, doctors said that phygital technologies contribute to the accelerated recovery of those wounded in the SVO, and they also help to involve children and young people in gamers in sports.

The government has approved the Concept for the Development of the Phygital Movement until 2030 and an action plan for its implementation.

Among the important measures for the development of the phygital movement, the Deputy Prime Minister noted the creation of game content, improvement of the material and technical equipment of educational institutions and the formation of a system of incentives and rewards. He recalled that the Phygital Games – 2025 will be held in Nizhny Novgorod from September 17 to 20, and also proposed holding an open phygital lesson for general education organizations as part of the upcoming International Sports Forum "Russia – a Sports Power".

Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov noted that the impetus for the promotion of phygital sports could be given by concluding an agreement between the department and the All-Russian Federation of Phygital Sports.

"We are gradually developing the phygital sports direction in the education system, and there are already successful developments. At the first stage, we propose to introduce phygital sports programs into the educational process both as part of extracurricular activities and in additional education. This can be done on the basis of school sports clubs, of which 38 thousand have already been created. We are seeing an increase in schoolchildren's interest in classes in such clubs – the coverage has increased from 2 million in 2021 to 3.4 million in 2024," noted Sergey Kravtsov.

The President of the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation Nikita Nagorny noted the need to hold a large phygital event that would combine a championship and a festival.

In the Zaporizhia region, asphalt laying has been completed on a section of the road along the coast of the Sea of Azov.

In the reunited regions, work continues to update the road infrastructure to improve the transport accessibility of territories, including those located on the Azov coast. For example, in the Zaporizhia region, road workers laid new asphalt on a 26-kilometer section of the coastal highway that connects Berdyansk with settlements on the border of the region, as well as with villages in the DPR. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The most important task after the restoration of infrastructure in historical regions is to improve people's standard of living. To do this, it is necessary, in particular, to ensure good transport accessibility of cities and villages. For example, in the Zaporizhia region on the eastern coast of the Azov Sea there are many settlements. High-quality and safe road infrastructure is important for both residents of the region and tourists. Thus, road workers paved a 26-kilometer section of the Staropetrivka – Novopetrivka – border of the region – the village of Kulikovskoye highway," said Marat Khusnullin.

The route runs parallel to the federal highway R-280 "Novorossiya". The work is being carried out under the supervision of the state company "Avtodor".

"We are taking a comprehensive approach to restoring the roads, so we are also working on artificial structures. For example, bridge crossings over the Berda and Sukhodol rivers, which are part of the Staropetrivka-Novopetrivka-regional border-village Kulikovskoye road. In general, we are planning to restore more than 100 km of roads in the Zaporizhia region. More than 85 km of the top layer has already been laid. At the same time, road signs, barrier fencing, and markings are being installed," emphasized Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the State Company Avtodor.
