The number of state and municipal customers on the supplier portal has reached 60 thousand. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

"Over the past 12 years, the Supplier Portal has become an interregional platform for small-volume procurement. With its help, state and municipal organizations, including schools, kindergartens, clinics, hospitals, theaters and other institutions, purchase the necessary goods, works and services. By mid-2025, the number of customers working on the portal reached 60 thousand. About half of them represent Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Chelyabinsk regions. Over the past five years, the number of customers on the Supplier Portal has grown by almost 30 percent," said Maria Bagreeva.

The supplier portal attracts entrepreneurs with the opportunity to participate in interregional purchases, digitalization and promptness of transactions. The remote format of work allows you to ship products on the day of signing the contract.

"Currently, more than 378 thousand entrepreneurs from all over the country are registered on the supplier portal, and 90 percent of them are representatives of small and medium businesses. The product catalog includes over 3.2 million items – from office supplies and medical products to heavy municipal special equipment. Today, customers from 42 subjects of the Russian Federation are connected to the platform – over five years, their number has grown by almost 24 percent. And since the beginning of this year, 2,267 customers have joined the portal, most of all – from the Tula, Ryazan and Moscow regions, Perm Krai and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug," added the head of the Moscow City Department for Competition Policy

Kirill Purtov.

As noted in the capital Department of Information Technologyy, the supplier portal is a reliable and convenient tool that allows you to optimize small-volume procurement procedures. The platform provides entrepreneurs with a guaranteed sales market, gives state and municipal institutions the opportunity to quickly purchase goods, works and services, and participants in the budget process – promptly receive the necessary information and documents. The entire procurement process, from posting a need to signing closing acts, takes place online. This saves time for participants in the procedure: suppliers do not need to write and send paper documents to customers, who, in turn, do not spend resources on transferring data to payment or accounting documentation.

The functional customer of the portal is the capital Department of Competition Policy, and its technical development is supervised by Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

Development of electronic services for business corresponds to the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" regional project of the city of Moscow "Digital public administration".

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the beginning of the year, traffic lights have been installed and modernized at 85 addresses in Moscow. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

"Since January 2025, the Traffic Management Center (TMC) has updated traffic lights at 58 addresses – they have replaced the equipment, installed additional sections and sound signals. New traffic lights have been installed at 27 points: near popular places among residents and busy intersections, as well as in places where traffic accidents often occur. We continue to improve conditions for all road users on the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin," said Maxim Liksutov.

New traffic lights were also installed on multi-lane highways, along which a large number of public transport routes pass. Particular attention was paid to roads near schools, kindergartens, clinics and social institutions, such as Moscow Longevity Centers and libraries.

During the modernization, traffic lights were equipped with buttons for pedestrians or additional sections indicating, for example, a turn. Also, their operating mode settings were adjusted more than one and a half thousand times. This allowed pedestrians to spend less time waiting for a green light, and drivers to pass intersections and highways faster.

The traffic light mode is reconfigured at the request of city residents when the traffic pattern changes, as well as to allow faster passage of public transport and cars through the most congested areas.

Before making a decision on installing a traffic light, the employees of the Traffic Management Center analyze the traffic situation and develop a project. After its approval, preparations begin for placing the equipment on the selected section.

Since the beginning of this year, traffic lights have been installed and modernized at 61 addresses in Moscow

Where the new traffic lights appeared

This year, work was carried out at 24a Festivalnaya Street. In 2024, there were two traffic accidents here. The new traffic light was installed to improve traffic safety and reduce accidents. In addition, there is School Complex No. 1590, Library No. 27, the Moscow Longevity Center, as well as shops and pick-up points nearby. These are popular places among residents, so it is important to ensure a comfortable route to them.

The pedestrian crossing at the address: Osenniy Boulevard, buildings 11 and 12, building 1 has also become regulated. Traffic lights have been installed here to improve the safety of residents, reduce accidents and provide a comfortable route to the Krylatskoye metro station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. There are many social facilities nearby, including medical centers and stores, sports grounds.

A new traffic light has also appeared at the address: Maresyeva Street, Building 10, Block 2. It was important to organize safe passage for residents to public transport stops here, as there is a large residential complex and the buildings of School No. 1366 nearby.

Three types of traffic lights

At present, there are more than 64 thousand traffic lights in Moscow, which are divided into three types of control: local, adaptive and coordinated.

Traffic lights with a local control type operate separately from others according to a pre-planned scheme. They are installed at small intersections in residential areas and are configured so that residents can quickly and comfortably get from home to work in the morning, and from work home in the evening.

Traffic lights with coordinated control are linked together (usually on outbound highways) and operate in such a way as to allow a certain number of vehicles to pass through in order to maintain the traffic flow in the area.

Adaptive traffic lights independently determine the traffic situation and adjust to it. The information comes from induction loops or sensors that are built into the asphalt at the intersection. Today, there are more than a thousand such smart intersections in Moscow.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In Krasnoyarsk, construction of the first metro-tram line continues, the project of which is being implemented with the involvement of infrastructure budget loans. Specialists have begun tunnel boring works on the section from the Vysotnaya station to the Ulitsa Kopilova stop, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"The development of public transport infrastructure is of great importance for dynamically growing cities – it increases the mobility of residents, improves the environment and creates the basis for further economic development. Thanks to the decisions of the President, an important project for the region is being implemented in Krasnoyarsk – the construction of a metro tram line. Specialists are actively working on the excavation of different sections of the future line. Now they have started the next stage – the excavation of the left transfer tunnel from the Vysotnaya station to the Ulitsa Kopilova stop using the Evgeniya shield with a total length of more than 83 m and a weight of 592 tons. In general, the new line will optimize passenger flow, reduce travel time and reduce the load on the road network. I am confident that this project will give a powerful impetus to the comprehensive development of the city," said Marat Khusnullin.

The tunnel boring machine will have to dig a tunnel at a depth of 10 to 49 m and a length of 2.64 km.

Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territory Development Fund, the operator of the infrastructure budget loan program, reported that the total length of the metrotram line at the first stage is 11 km. "There will be six stopping points on the line of the first stage: Vysotnaya, Kopilova Street, Vokzalnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Karla Marksa Street and Shakhterov Street. The infrastructure budget loan mechanism will help improve the connection between different areas of the city, and accordingly, significantly increase convenience for local residents and visitors to the city," Vasily Kupyzin emphasized.

Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov noted that the construction of the metrotram in Krasnoyarsk is a key infrastructure project for improving the transport situation in the capital of the region. "At the first stage, the metrotram will connect public transport in four districts of the city into a single network. Subsequently, it is planned to extend the metrotram to more remote districts of Krasnoyarsk for fast, safe and comfortable travel for city residents. The launch of the metrotram will also improve the environmental situation in Krasnoyarsk. The construction of the first stage of the metrotram is a key project in the framework of Krasnoyarsk's preparation for its 400th anniversary, which the easternmost city with a million people will celebrate in 2028," said Mikhail Kotyukov.

The general contractor for the construction of the first stage of the line is Mosproekt-3 Group of Companies, and the subcontractor is the Bamtonnelstroy-Most Group of Companies.

Alexander Novak: The architecture of the business program of the Russian Energy Week – 2025 has been published

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Approved business program architecture the seventh international forum "Russian Energy Week – 2025", which will be held at the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege" in Moscow from October 15 to 17. The central theme of REW-2025 is "Creating the energy of the future together". This year, Russian Energy Week will again be held at two venues: the business program events will be held in the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege", and an exhibition of equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy complex will be organized in Gostiny Dvor, within the framework of which leading manufacturing companies, equipment suppliers, technology companies from all industry areas of the fuel and energy complex will present promising projects, breakthrough achievements, innovative equipment and advanced technologies. Russian Energy Week is held with the support of the Government of Russia, the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Government of Moscow. The organizer of the forum is the Roscongress Foundation.

The business program of the forum will include about 30 events, divided into thematic blocks: "International Cooperation", "Technologies as a Key Driver of Energy Development", "Sustainable Development: Adaptation to the New Reality" and "Russia's Fuel and Energy Complex: Development Strategy". As part of the REW, the scientific and practical conference "Territory of Energy Dialogue" and the gala ceremony of the "Global Energy" award for outstanding research and scientific and technical developments that contribute to increasing the efficiency and environmental safety of energy sources on Earth in the interests of all mankind will be held. There will also be an award ceremony for the winners of the international journalism award "Energy of the Pen", designed to encourage journalists, observers and experts writing about the most pressing issues of modern energy, including the transformation of the global energy balance, the development of new technologies and climate change. Russian Energy Week will end with the traditional Youth Day.

"Over the course of its existence, REW has become a landmark international industry platform, attracting leading representatives of the fuel and energy complex, without exaggeration, from all over the world. This year's REW business program includes all the current issues of global energy development, and the exhibition of special equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy complex, which will be organized for the second time, will demonstrate the greatest achievements of Russian scientists and developers. I am convinced that the discussions within the REW business program will attract additional public attention to current issues in the fuel and energy complex, and the forum will once again bring together key participants in the Russian energy market, representatives of foreign countries and companies, officials, experts and the media to discuss the prospects for the development of the industry in changing conditions," said Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak.

One of the central topics of the upcoming Russian Energy Week will be the Energy Strategy until 2050, approved by the Russian Government with two key priorities: providing the domestic market with energy resources and realizing the export potential. The central event of the business program will be the plenary session. Special attention will be paid to nuclear energy as part of the 80th anniversary of the industry – a large stand of nuclear industry technologies and equipment is planned to be organized at the Gostiny Dvor site.

"This year, the participants of the Russian Energy Week will discuss the first stages of implementing the Energy Strategy until 2050, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, which defines the long-term guidelines of our country for the period until 2050: development of the fuel and energy complex in the context of global challenges, energy transition, introduction of digital technologies, technological changes in general and growing energy consumption. The strategy takes into account the growth of global demand for all types of sources by 20% by 2050. Special attention will also be paid to the international aspect in the development of energy. I am confident that the Russian Energy Week will once again become the central place for the international energy dialogue that is so necessary today," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the REW-2025 Organizing Committee.

The topic of international cooperation will occupy an important place in the program of this year's forum. The Russia-OPEC energy dialogue will be held at the REW-2025 site, with special attention paid to cooperation between Russia and Africa in the energy sector. Participants will discuss expanding cooperation between BRICS countries and ways to form a fair energy system for the SCO and ASEAN countries.

NSU biology students will take part in the final of the international SynBio Challenge competition in China for the first time

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The final of the international SynBio Challenge competition will be held in Shenzhen (Guangdong Province, China) on August 6. The competition is organized by the Shenzhen University of High Technology. A total of 1,800 students registered to participate in the competition, of which about 1,000 participants from six countries of the world – China, Russia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia – made it to the final. Our country is represented at these competitions by only two teams – from the Biological Faculty of Moscow State University and Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS) of NSURussian teams are taking part in the competition for the first time.

The GeneMeow team included six students of the NSU Natural Sciences Department who completed their 3rd year in Biology: Valeria Romanova, Ekaterina Bolotova, Nail Bikeev, Nikita Ivanov, Ulyana Borovikova and Dmitry Kurbatsky. GeneMeow was formed from two strong teams that had previously participated in the Biotournament, won prizes in its regional stage and received a second-degree diploma at the final in 2024. Participation in the Biotournament allowed them to gain experience in solving interdisciplinary problems in biology, publicly defending ideas to experts and project work. The students joined forces to jointly solve problems at the intersection of biology and engineering.

All the guys from the NSU team regularly participate in student Olympiads and are engaged in scientific activities at the institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, combining their studies with research and educational activities.

The selection round of the competition was held in absentia in April-May; participants were offered a choice of several problems, one of which the students had to solve.

— In the SynBio Challenge, we solved the problem of developing a DNA sequence no longer than 140 bp, providing high expression of GFP (green fluorescent protein) in E. coli. It seemed familiar and interesting to us, since we had already studied molecular biology at the university, have laboratory experience and are well acquainted with the methods of genetic engineering. This gave us confidence in our abilities and the desire to apply our knowledge in practice, — said the captain of the GeneMeow team, Valeria Romanova.

— We conducted a bioinformatics analysis of regulatory elements, studied relevant literature and modern approaches to increasing gene expression. Based on this, we developed an optimized design that includes strong promoter (a region of a gene that triggers the synthesis of mRNA and then protein) and post-transcriptional (regulatory) elements and is aimed at efficient expression of GFP. Such developments are relevant for medicine, biotechnology, agriculture and fundamental research, — said GeneMeow team member Ulyana Borovikova.

The final will be held in person and will be a festival, where each team will present their solutions to the problems at the selection stage. In addition, the organizers of the competition synthesized the DNA sequences proposed by the participants, inserted them into plasmids with a fluorescent protein gene, which is used to check the DNA sequence, and during the festival they will visualize the synthesized sequences, compare which team has them glowing more strongly. The brightness of the glow will be one of the criteria for assessing the work of each team.

— NSU has historically developed leading scientific schools in synthetic biology and bioinformatics. This year, the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies is opening a Master's degree program in Industrial Pharmacy, where students will work on solving specific problems of industrial partners. At one time, the iGEM-Siberia team became the first team from outside Moscow to take part in the world's largest competition of genetically engineered machines, iGEM-2021. This year, our Chinese colleagues invited us to take part in SynBio Challenge, an international competition of comparable scale. I hope that the team will return with a victory; the guys have been working on the project for a long time and will present a poster presentation at the festival. The development of biomedical technologies is a global trend. I am very glad that we always find support for students' initiatives at our university! — commented Sergey Sedykh, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the NSU Natural Sciences Department, and judge of the SynBio Challenge competition.

The participation of the NSU team in the international competition is financed within the framework of the academic mobility project of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU Priority 2030 programs.

Bioinformatics: the key to the future of oncology. Results of the conference "tumor markers" in Novosibirsk

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The VII All-Russian Conference "Tumor Markers: Molecular, Genetic and Clinical Aspects" was held in Novosibirsk from July 28 to 30, 2025. The event brought together more than a hundred leading Russian specialists: opinion leaders, professors of the Russian Academy of Sciences, heads of molecular laboratories, heads of clinical departments and diagnostic centers. The central topic of discussion was the transformative role of bioinformatics in the search for new biomarkers, the development of personalized methods for diagnosing and treating cancer. Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU (IMMT NSU) The event was presented by the head of the biotechnology and medicine department, Maria Lomova, and the head of the bioinformatics laboratory, Alexander Vikhorev.

The conference confirmed the status of bioinformatics as one of the most dynamic and sought-after scientific disciplines in modern oncology. Participants unanimously noted that without complex big data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), further breakthroughs in understanding the mechanisms of oncogenesis and creating effective diagnostic tools are impossible.

The event became a unique platform for the formation of scientific and practical cooperation between bioinformaticians, molecular biologists and clinicians. Only the joint work of these specialists allows us to translate fundamental discoveries in the field of tumor markers into real clinical protocols.

The conference actively discussed advanced bioinformatic approaches for searching and validating new biomarkers in genomic data, platform solutions for determining the mutational status of patients. A special focus was made on the use of AI in oncology research. Participants shared their experience in using AI to analyze medical images, gene expression patterns, predict drug resistance, and develop individual treatment regimens.

— The conference clearly demonstrated that bioinformatics has ceased to be an auxiliary tool — it has become the driving force of oncological research. It is bioinformaticians, who possess methods for analyzing the most complex genomic data, who today decipher the "language" of cancer, helping to find new targets for therapy and create tests for early diagnostics. For young scientists and students, this is an area of enormous opportunities and a real contribution to saving lives, — noted Alexander Vikhorev.

The participants of the event noted that the VII All-Russian Conference "Tumor Markers" in Novosibirsk successfully fulfilled its task, providing specialists of different profiles with an important platform for professional dialogue. The exchange of relevant experience and views on the application of modern approaches will undoubtedly contribute to the development of more effective solutions in the field of oncology. The example of IMMT NSU shows that participation in such events remains significant for the scientific community and practical healthcare.

NSU student identifies regular phonetic correspondences between Chinese and Korean consonants

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A comparative study to identify regular phonetic correspondences between consonants in Chinese and Korean was conducted by a student of the Department of Oriental Studies Humanitarian Institute of Novosibirsk State University Artem Tashlykov. The result of the work was a summary table of regular phonetic correspondences of consonant phonemes of the Chinese and Korean languages. When compiling it, all possible syllables of the Chinese language were taken into account, as well as all syllables of the Korean language corresponding to each syllable of the Chinese language. For an objective comparison of the articulatory-acoustic characteristics of sounds, the young researcher used the methods of electroacoustic analysis – spectrography and oscillography. Artem Tashlykov conducted his research under the scientific supervision of Anton Shamrin, PhD in Philology, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Oriental Studies. This work is very important, because there are very few comparative studies on the Chinese and Korean languages in the Russian-speaking scientific space. The results of the study can be used to improve linguodidactic and methodological materials used in training specialists who speak both languages. Such employees are currently in high demand on the labor market.

— Some words in different Eastern languages sound similar to a certain extent, which causes certain difficulties for those who study them in parallel. This similarity is especially clearly expressed in vocabulary based on hieroglyphic writing. The writing of Korea and Japan has been influenced by Chinese hieroglyphic writing since ancient times, which became one of the reasons for the penetration of a certain set of hieroglyphic vocabulary into the vocabulary of these countries. When borrowing vocabulary, pronunciation was accordingly borrowed. But over time, it inevitably underwent changes. This happened, perhaps, due to the difference in the articulatory-acoustic base of these three languages. As a result, pronunciation was distorted to some extent, adapting to the set of sounds familiar to native speakers of these languages. Probably, phonetic changes that occur in all languages of the world due to their natural and logical development also made their contribution. The result of changes in the pronunciation of hieroglyphic vocabulary in Chinese and Korean was the fact that one phoneme of the Chinese language corresponds to several phonemes of the Korean language, just as one phoneme of the Korean language can correspond to several phonemes of the Chinese language. In this way, regular phonetic correspondences were formed. My goal was to identify such regular phonetic correspondences and their subsequent systematization, – said Artem Tashlykov.

The young researcher had previously compiled a list of 150 two-syllable words that had common hieroglyphic roots in both Chinese and Korean. These words were selected in such a way that it would be possible to analyze each of the phonemes presented in both languages in all variants of their implementation in speech. Then audio recordings were made of two native speakers of Chinese and two native speakers of Korean.

The informants were first asked to familiarize themselves with the given list of words and then read them out loud. In order to eliminate recording errors and expand the statistical data, each word was pronounced 4 times, with a pause between them. This helped to avoid combinatorial changes in pronunciation between words when reading. Thus, a total of 2400 audio fragments were analyzed.

In order to measure the absolute durations of sounds and to describe in detail the formant characteristics, the recorded material was analyzed using electroacoustic methods – oscillography and spectrography.

— Using an oscillogram, we can determine the boundaries of vowels and consonants, as well as the method of articulating consonants. However, using only an oscillogram, it is almost impossible to determine which sound is being pronounced. Therefore, for a more detailed analysis and determination of the row and rise of vowels, the place and method of articulating consonants, we obtained spectrograms, which are graphs of the dependence of the spectrum of sound frequencies on time. As a result of applying such a comprehensive approach, we were able to establish the degree of correspondence between similar consonant phonemes of the two languages and discover differences in the articulation and acoustic characteristics of the sounds of the Chinese and Korean languages. We compared the syllabic structures of both languages, compiled a description of the acoustic properties of the main allophones of all consonant phonemes, and made a statistical calculation of the correspondences. A total of 40 regular phonetic correspondences were established, including 32 correspondences between phonemes that have a similar method of articulation, 4 regular correspondences in the affricate-plosive pair, 3 in the fricative-plosive pair, and 1 in the affricate-fricative pair, explained Artem Tashlykov.

The young researcher compiled a table containing all the unique correspondences of syllables between Chinese and Korean, on the basis of which calculations were made, and created tables of the frequency of occurrence of phonetic correspondences. A summary table of the identified regular correspondences was also formed with a classification of phonemes by the method of articulation, which clearly demonstrated the presence or absence of regular correspondences between certain phonemes of the Chinese and Korean languages.

— My work systematizes extensive empirical material and creates a basis for further theoretical and applied research in the field of comparative phonetics of East Asian languages. And the practical significance of my research is that it contains information useful for the simultaneous study of Chinese and Korean. The results of my work can be used in the development of teaching aids and methods aimed at students who speak one of the languages and study the second, — said Artem Tashlykov.
