The renowned polytechnician, assistant of the Higher School of Sports Education of the Institute of Physical Culture and Sport, Kirill Prigoda became the winner of the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. He won gold in the 4×100 m combined relay. And before that, he won silver in the individual event at the 50 m breaststroke.

The World Championships are being held in Singapore from July 11 to August 3. On July 30, Kirill Prigoda, Miron Lifintsev, Darya Klepikova and Darya Trofimova won the combined relay. Our team not only won a confident victory in the final, but also set a new world championship record – 3:37.37. This victory went down in history – before it, Russian swimmers had not won the relay at major international tournaments for 22 years! The last time our athletes won was in 2003. Then Kirill Prigoda was seven years old.

The emotions are very pleasant, because the team gave 110%. The guys are great, but the championship is not over yet. We will celebrate at the end of the competition, – said Kirill Prigoda on air at Match TV.

Let us remind you that the Russian team is performing in Singapore in a neutral status. Thus, during the swim it was forbidden to chant "Russia". This is a strict condition of the International Swimming Federation. The team was given a special guide. If we violated it, we were threatened with exclusion from the championship. And even though we did not see the Russian flag or hear our anthem at the awards ceremony, everyone in the world understood that the Russians were on the top step of the podium.

Less than an hour before the team victory, Kirill Prigoda secured the title of vice-champion in the 50-meter breaststroke. In the final swim, he showed a result of 26.62 seconds. This medal was the 11th for the Russians and the first personal award for Russian swimmers at the current championship.

We are proud of Kirill and once again we are convinced that Polytechnic University helps develop abilities and talents in science, creativity, and sports! – noted SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

Kirill Prigoda is already an eight-time world champion! He is also a four-time world championship medalist, a two-time European champion, and a silver and bronze medalist at the European Short Course Championships. He currently holds three world records.

The World Championships are ongoing, and Kirill Prigoda has a great opportunity to add to the Russian team’s medal collection.

NSU student finds out that water has a huge impact on the elastic properties of hydrogel

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The effect of water on the longitudinal gigahertz elastic modulus of collagen-based hydrogel was studied by a student of the Department of Physical Methods of Solid State Research using optical spectroscopy methods Faculty of Physics, Novosibirsk State University Anna Laktionova under the scientific supervision of Valeria Zykova, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS. The data from this study became the basis for her master's thesis, which she successfully defended this year. In her work, she used optical research methods – Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering (MBS) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

— Changes in the elastic properties of biological objects may be associated with disruptions in the functioning of living cells, in such cases, information about the elastic modulus plays a key role. Currently, a contactless and non-invasive technique for characterizing the viscoelastic properties of materials is actively developing – Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering spectroscopy (MBS), which has proven itself in application to biomedical problems. MBS spectroscopy allows obtaining information about the speed of sound in a substance and the gigahertz elastic modulus. However, when studying real biotissues, difficulties arise in interpreting experimental data that are associated with the multicomponent composition of the studied objects and small changes in the elastic modulus due to pathologies occurring in the bioobject. This is due to the fact that the main contribution to the elastic modulus value in the case of real tissues is made by the water component, the content of which is quite high for the case of biological samples. For this reason, researchers often use simpler model two-component objects instead of real tissues, which are hydrogels, in particular, collagen-based hydrogels. By varying the water content, various parameters of viscoelastic properties are achieved, thereby hydrogels imitate the properties of a wide variety of real tissues, explained Anna Laktionova.

Samples of collagen -based hydrogels with different water content were made for conducting research. Further, with the help of a number of optical techniques (RMB, cattle, low -frequency cattle and depolarized light scattering), Anna described the elastic and relaxation properties of manufactured hydrogels. Spectra measurement was made during drying of hydrogel samples in the air. This was done in order to observe how, depending on the content of water in the sample, its elastic properties are changed, determined from the parameters of the spectrum of light scattering. With the dehydration of the sample from the most hydrated state (water content of 99.5 %) to a completely dry elasticity module increases by 6 times. At the same time, significant growth is observed with protein concentrations above 60 %. For a detailed study of such behavior, two spectrometers were required to synchronously measure the spectra of RMB and CRC. In this regard, some difficulties arose. The devices were in different rooms, which could affect the accuracy of measurements: while the sample was transferred from one office to another, it could be subjected to undesirable exposure to external factors, which would lead to its additional drying. To characterize the content of water in the samples and their elastic module from the same point in the process of drying, participants in the experiment, which was conducted in the spectroscopy laboratory of the condensed media of the Institute of Automation and Electrometry of the SB RAS, established a fiber -fiber channel between two spectrometers. This technical solution was implemented for the first time in Russia.

The analysis of the dependence of the Brillouin line position on the protein concentration in the hydrogel showed that the value of the gigahertz elastic modulus changes almost 6 times within the full range of concentrations (water content 0 – 100%). This is a very significant change. Earlier in the literature it was demonstrated that in the case of chemical treatments it is only a few percent. This fact fully demonstrates the strong influence of water. The resulting concentration dependence of the elastic modulus was described by a model considering the hydrogel as a rigid protein framework filled with water.

— From the analysis of the shape of the Brillouin spectrum of hydrogels, a non-trivial dependence of the Brillouin line width on the protein content was obtained. It is generally accepted, at least for single-component systems, that the Brillouin line width characterizes the viscosity of the object under study. However, in our case, everything was not so simple. When the hydrogel dried, the Brillouin line width actually increased to protein concentrations of about 70%, where the dependence extremum was observed. With further dehydration, up to completely dry collagen, the Brillouin line width narrowed. According to our assumptions, the reason for such an unexpected result lies in the influence of relaxation processes on the shape of the Brillouin spectrum of the hydrogel. To confirm this hypothesis, it was necessary to conduct a study using another spectroscopic technique – depolarized light scattering spectroscopy, – said Anna Laktionova.

A comprehensive comparison of the behavior of the RMB line width and the shape of the depolarized spectrum made it possible to verify the relaxation nature of the Brillouin line broadening with a change in water content. The results of RMB spectroscopy of hydrogels with different water contents for several temperatures (25, 0, -10 °C) additionally confirmed the influence of relaxation processes on the Brillouin line width, explained Anna Laktionova.

The analysis of the obtained results allowed us to obtain complete information on the nature of the interaction of the biopolymer matrix with the water component and to study in detail the issue of the influence of the water component on the parameters of the Brillouin spectrum of a hydrogel with different degrees of hydration. The participants of the study came to the conclusion: the work done demonstrates the prospects of the complex application of spectroscopic techniques (RMB, Raman, low-frequency Raman and depolarized light scattering) for characterizing the properties of hydrogels and studying the issue of the interaction of water with the protein matrix.

— It is very important to study the effect of water on the elastic properties of collagen-based hydrogel using optical methods, because such an object is simple enough to interpret spectral data, while it is capable of imitating the mechanical properties of more complex biological objects. This work, using such simple objects as an example, demonstrates the capabilities of optical spectroscopy methods, which in the future can be used to study more complex real tissues, — said Anna Laktionova.

Marat Khusnullin: The commissioning of non-residential real estate in Russia has increased by 11% in six months.

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.

The construction of non-residential real estate plays an important role in the comprehensive formation of a comfortable urban environment. The construction of commercial, industrial, administrative and social buildings contributes to the creation of a balanced infrastructure and sustainable economic growth, and also provides employment for the population. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The construction of non-residential infrastructure is a prerequisite for the harmonious development of settlements and improving the quality of life of people. Schools, clinics, enterprises and shopping centers create an environment in which residential areas become truly comfortable for living. In the first six months of this year, 14.2 million square meters of non-residential premises were commissioned in the country, which is 11% more than last year. This generally indicates the development of business activity and the improvement of infrastructure provision in the country. If we talk about the distribution by region, then about 63% of the total volume of non-residential construction in Russia falls on three federal districts – Central, Volga and Northwestern," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest increase is observed in the sphere of retail space – its commissioning increased by 25.3%, reaching 4.9 million sq. m. The volume of commissioned administrative buildings also increased significantly – by 21.9% (to 543.8 thousand sq. m). The industrial sector also shows positive dynamics: in the first half of the year, 2.8 million sq. m of facilities were commissioned, which is 6.2% more than a year earlier.

Among the federal districts, the leaders in terms of growth in the commissioning of non-residential real estate were the Urals (44% compared to the same period last year, about 1.3 million sq. m were commissioned in the first half of 2025), Far Eastern (30%, 664 thousand sq. m were commissioned) and Northwestern (25%, almost 1.6 million sq. m were commissioned) districts.

"Statistics of non-residential building commissioning by federal districts are quite diverse, since for certain types of buildings, there is an obvious multiple increase in the volume of commissioning. For example, the Volga, Ural and Far Eastern Federal Districts have the main growth in commercial real estate, the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts – in the administrative real estate sector, the Southern Federal District is the best in commissioning industrial space, and the North Caucasian Federal District is the leader in commissioning agricultural buildings. At the same time, in terms of federal districts, the commissioning structure is stable," noted Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin.

Among the subjects of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2025, the leaders in terms of total commissioning of non-residential buildings were Moscow Region, where about 1.9 million square meters were commissioned, Moscow (more than 1 million square meters), Sverdlovsk Region (656.4 thousand square meters), St. Petersburg (557.2 thousand square meters), Krasnodar Region (501.3 thousand square meters) and the Republic of Tatarstan (493.8 thousand square meters).

"According to available data, 11,964 permits for the construction of non-residential buildings for a total area of 27.7 million square meters were issued in January-June 2025. Moreover, industrial and commercial facilities are in the lead. This is 9.4 million square meters and 4.7 million square meters, respectively," said Dina Safiullina, head of the Project Directorate of the Ministry of Construction.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov spoke about the training of specialists for the tourism industry.

Today, more than 200 higher education institutions and 300 colleges across the country provide training for the tourism and hospitality industry. More than 320 thousand people receive specialized education there.

The admissions campaign is currently underway in Russian universities and institutions of secondary vocational education. In higher education areas related to tourism, applicants have already submitted applications to approximately 130 thousand competition groups, and about 120 thousand applications have been sent to institutions of secondary vocational education.

"President Vladimir Putin has set the task of increasing the tourist flow to 140 million people per year by 2030. To achieve this, large-scale investment projects are being implemented within the framework of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality". The key importance today is the training of specialized specialists for the tourism sector. In 2025, more than 80 thousand budget places have been allocated for universities and secondary vocational education institutions in the field of "Tourism and Hospitality", – emphasized Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Currently, the tourism industry employs about 1 million people. In 2024, educational institutions graduated about 55 thousand specialists for the tourism sector, including more than 6.4 thousand university graduates and over 48 thousand specialists with secondary vocational education.

In addition to basic training, work is also underway to improve the qualifications and professional retraining of already working specialists. According to the Ministry of Economic Development, until 2030, the tourism industry will additionally need up to 400 thousand employees, of which 45 thousand with higher education, with secondary professional – 116 thousand.

Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach: "It is important to integrate secondary vocational education with the demands of the tourism industry, cooperate with strong regional universities and increase labor productivity. For this purpose, competence centers in tourism have already begun operating at the Kavkaz.RF corporation. So that educational institutions can quickly and efficiently meet the industry's need for specialists."

In order to improve the quality of personnel provision for the tourism industry, federal resource centers for personnel training have been created within the framework of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality". They are located in the Moscow Region at the Russian State University of Tourism and Service (RGUTIS), Tatarstan and St. Petersburg.

Since 2023, more than 11 thousand people have been trained in the centers, and by the end of 2025, it is planned to train about 6.5 thousand more specialists. Among them are managers of hotel complexes, tour guides, specialists in the field of strategic planning in tourism and service organization.

In the Federal Resource Center for Personnel Training for the Tourism and Hospitality Industry, RGUTIS, more than half of the programs are aimed at developing human resources in the hotel industry and the catering industry, including optimizing the operation of accommodation facilities, managing modular hotels, and increasing the efficiency of business services. In addition, it is planned to build an educational campus for the RGUTIS branch on the territory of the Zavidovo resort in the Tver Region, where students will be able not only to study, but also to undergo practical training.

The Centre for the Development of Human Resources at the Volga Region State University of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism in Kazan trains highly qualified specialists from the regions who are capable of creating territories attractive to investors and tourists.
