An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Polytechnic University has taken on a serious project — the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU is thinking about how to build quickly and efficiently in the Arctic. A research group led by associate professors of the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Institute of Civil Engineering Elena Ladik and Maria Drebezgova is developing a concept for modular structures that can be quickly assembled in the harsh conditions of the Arctic. The work takes into account the complexities of the Arctic climate and the need to build facilities in a short time — this is an important condition for the successful development of the region.

The development of the polytechnicians is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Arctic region. The relevance of the project is that it helps solve several problems at once, such as the development of natural resources, the development of infrastructure in hard-to-reach places, environmental protection and the creation of normal living conditions for people.

Last year, the research team investigated the development potential of northern territories, studied foreign and domestic experience in designing modular architecture and developed a concept for quickly erected residential, public and laboratory modules adapted to extreme climatic conditions. The results of the study were presented at all-Russian forums and conferences, where they received high praise from the expert community.

Next year, scientists plan to apply their developments in pilot projects. Research will continue, now with an emphasis on modeling the engineering systems of territories, refining design calculations and selecting optimal building materials for the Far North. A multidisciplinary approach will allow the project to be implemented more quickly.

Modular buildings are a real find for the Arctic. They are easy to move from place to place, save energy, are made of modern materials that retain heat well and are not afraid of harsh weather. Perhaps it is modular architecture that will become a key direction in the Arctic construction industry.

“The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results in assessing prefabricated block modules, developing architectural solutions in design practice for residential and research stations in the Arctic regions, as well as in developing recommendations for their further use based on the developed principles,” said project manager and associate professor at the Civil Engineering Institute Elena Ladik.

BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), Chinese authorities have taken a series of measures to ensure reasonable prices for medicines, Shi Zihai, deputy head of the National Medical Security Administration (NMSA), said on Thursday.

Shi Zihai presented the measures at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office.

According to him, since 2018, the country has conducted ten rounds of centralized procurement of medicines, covering 435 types of drugs. The centralized procurement program has become an effective means of curbing the overpricing of medicines, significantly alleviating the burden of the population in obtaining medicines, and also improving their quality and availability.

GUMO has also actively examined cases of improper pricing of medicines and called on the relevant pharmaceutical companies to correct their practices. To date, it has sent notices to 566 companies, requiring them to adjust prices for 726 medicines of different forms and specifications.

In addition, Shi Zihai said that measures have been taken to regulate prices of medicines both online and in regular pharmacies.

The official noted that some pharmaceutical companies, abusing their right to independent pricing, violated market order using methods such as offering kickbacks, monopolizing the market and controlling sales.

He assured that GUMO firmly supports and encourages medical innovation and high-quality development, respects the right of enterprises to independently set prices, and more effectively plays its role in managing drug pricing and maintaining normal market order. -0-

On July 23, 2025, a public discussion of by-laws prepared as part of the implementation of the updated provisions of the Federal Law "On Youth Policy in the Russian Federation" took place in the House of Unions. Specialists from the State University of Management took part in the development of these by-laws.

The public discussion was attended by: Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy, GUU graduate Artem Metelev, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy Mikhail Kiselev, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education Ekaterina Kharchenko, Deputy Head of Rosmolodezh Yuri Leskin and other experts.

The agenda was outlined by the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy, Artem Metelev: "We have accumulated an agenda of three blocks, which we propose to discuss together today. The first: a set of measures for the patriotic education of youth and the spiritual and moral education of youth in the Russian Federation. The second: recommendations for the implementation of the main directions of youth policy in Russia, including the logistical support for its implementation. And the third: recommendations for the organization of interdepartmental interaction between the executive bodies of the country's constituent entities in the implementation of youth policy."

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova noted the activity of universities participating in the development and discussion of documents: “For our part, we have also sent all the necessary materials for consideration to the expert community of the Government of Russia and plan to present the documentary results within the next month.”

At the initiative of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, the Department of State and Municipal Administration, together with the Department of Youth Policy and Educational Work of the State University of Management, developed a draft of recommendations for organizing interdepartmental interaction between executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in implementing youth policy to ensure consistency, eliminate duplication of powers, and ensure the effectiveness and systematicity of the work of government bodies at all levels.

The project team included: – Advisor to the rector of the State University of Management, head of the department of state and municipal management Sergey Chuev; – Professor of the department of state and municipal management, doctor of economic sciences Vladimir Zotov; – Professor of the department of state and municipal management, doctor of pedagogical sciences Tatyana Korosteleva; – Professor of the department of state and municipal management, doctor of economic sciences Mikhail Shatokhin; – Associate Professor of the department of state and municipal management, candidate of economic sciences Mikhail Polyakov; – Deputy Director of the Institute of Social and Cultural Policy and Culture for educational work, candidate of psychological sciences Svetlana Grishaeva.

Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Pavel Pavlovsky reported to the public council: “As for the mechanism of interdepartmental cooperation, here we have a number of specific points: establishing a clear procedure for exchanging information and recommendations, obliging regional departments to prepare and implement comprehensive measures to support young specialists aimed at their professional growth and career. Here we also include the development of measures for the professional self-determination of young people, support for gifted children, the creation and implementation of educational programs for patriotism and civic responsibility among young people, the organization of internships and practice for graduates of educational institutions, ensuring their participation in real work projects.”

The expert group of the State University of Management also proposed to develop a system of joint participation of different branches of government, institutions and organizations in the implementation of youth projects, to ensure openness and accessibility of information about all existing support measures and possible events, for which it is necessary to create one-stop services and digital platforms where young people could resolve any issues that arise.

At the end of the meeting, Artem Metelev noted that if the recommendations are accepted and regulations are developed on their basis, this will seriously simplify the work of government bodies, which will have a clear line in working with young people.
