The largest number of updated structures were added in the districts of Vostochnoye Degunino (177 supports, 212 lamps), Beskudnikovsky (94 supports, 146 lamps), Golovinsky (83 supports, 105 lamps) and Savelovsky (85 supports, 105 lamps).

Energy-efficient LED fixtures are used in new outdoor lighting installations. They consume 30 percent less electricity, reducing the load on grids, are durable, and are easy to maintain and dispose of.

In the Vostochnoye Degunino district, the courtyard area around the entire perimeter of the residential area and along the adjacent park have been improved. And on Dubninskaya Street, the courtyards of buildings 22 and 24 have become brighter. A new line of streetlights has appeared along the path leading from the buildings to the sports field. Six lamps have also been installed on the adjacent playground. Now, even at night, many families with small children gather there. New lighting has been installed in the courtyards, creating a more comfortable space for pedestrians and car owners who park their cars at night. The fire lane near building 24, block 3 on Dubninskaya Street has also been illuminated.

Another illuminated route has appeared in the Golovinsky District. A new illuminated pedestrian area with 33 streetlights has been installed near Building 23, Block 2 on Kronstadtsky Boulevard, which is particularly important given the active development in the area. The route is designed to make pedestrian walkways more comfortable and safer. The courtyard has been landscaped and transformed into a park-like area thanks to additional lighting.

Seven outdoor lighting poles have been installed there, and five lamp posts have also been added to the children's playground. Now, even in the autumn and winter, when it gets dark early, families with children gather here.

The city's utilities department explained that the new street lighting equipment in the capital is domestically produced. Depending on the location, specialists from United Energy Company JSC install both traditional lighting poles, which require specialized equipment for maintenance, and folding poles, which allow maintenance personnel to service the equipment in difficult-to-reach areas.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin noted that the first streetlights appeared in Moscow 295 years ago, and today the Russian capital is part of three The most illuminated cities in the world. Thus, the systematic upgrade of lighting infrastructure not only improves comfort and tourist appeal, but also overall safety, transforming dark areas into well-maintained public spaces.

The new equipment operates on the principle of laser melting of metal powder, resulting in products with very high density. The 3D printer can be used in mechanical engineering, instrument making, and the aerospace industry.

"The new 3D printer enables us to grow parts from various alloys and achieve optimal characteristics for the resulting metal components. The flexible configuration of the industrial complex can meet the needs of virtually any production facility," noted the company's CEO, Alexander Grigoryants, Doctor of Engineering Sciences and Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation.

The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education has published the results of the selection process for the V. A. Tumanov scholarship, one of the most prestigious for young researchers in the legal field. This year, only 10 spots were available across Russia, and four of them were awarded to graduate students from the Institute of Philosophy and Law of Novosibirsk State University: Yusub Ozmanyan, Timofey Gorbunov, Diana Chashtanova, and Vladislav Cherenkov.

The graduate students note that achieving their goals required careful preparation. All applications were processed through the NSU Career Development Center (CDC), which assisted students in preparing their application package and forwarded it to the selection committee.

"Completing the application is a very important step that requires concentration," notes Diana Chashtanova, emphasizing the CRC's contribution. According to her, the competition took into account academic performance, scientific publications, grants, conference wins, and other achievements.

The winners' research topics cover a wide range of legal issues, from the transformation of social partnerships in the context of digitalization to the analysis of unfair practices in the provision of legal services and compulsory licensing mechanisms in intellectual property.

"The topic of my PhD dissertation is 'Transformation of the Principles of Social Partnership in the Sphere of Labor in the Era of the Development of the Information Society.' The research aims to develop the conceptual foundations for the legal regulation of social partnership in the sphere of labor in the new socioeconomic conditions. This is primarily a fundamental study, the goal of which is to update the theoretical and legal framework in this area by establishing both universal and individual social and labor standards that reflect existing trends and enhance the level of labor rights and social protection for workers at all levels of social partnership," explains Diana Chashtanova.

"The topic of my PhD thesis is 'The Mechanism of Compulsory Licensing in Intellectual Property Law in the Russian Federation.' For example, among the functions of compulsory licensing, one can highlight the socioeconomic function, which is expressed in the fact that the use of a compulsory license can compensate for the shortage of relevant goods and services in the market, leading to increased availability of socially significant goods (increased quantity, reduced price). At the very least, this demonstrates the practical significance of my research," explains Yusub Ozmanyan.

"The topic of my postgraduate research was 'Abuse of Faith in Legal Services: Criminological Analysis and Countermeasures.' The practical significance of the research lies in identifying the causes of criminal behavior by lawyers when providing legal services, as well as in analyzing mechanisms for preventing such behavior. I was very happy when I learned I had been awarded the scholarship," shares Timofey Gorbunov.

For graduate students, receiving the scholarship was an important outcome of the year.

"This is a real New Year's gift, and I am grateful to my supervisor, Ekaterina Rodionovna Voronkova, and the institute for their support," shares Diana Chashtanova.

"This wasn't my first time participating in the competition, and I set a goal to definitely win. My joy knows no bounds," concludes Yusub Ozmanyan.

NSU traditionally confirms its position as one of the country's strongest universities in the field of legal research—and the results of the V. A. Tumanov scholarship competition are further proof of this.
