BEIJING, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — A forum to explore development approaches to globalizing cinematography under the Belt and Road Initiative was held in Fuzhou, east China's Fujian Province, on Tuesday. Representatives from the film and television industries from China and abroad discussed new opportunities for integration and development of the film industry, as well as new cooperation models for film and television co-production.

Films are a natural link between different cultures, noted Fu Ruoqing, Chairman of the Board of China Film Group Corporation (CFGC). He explained that co-production projects are not only a capital investment but also a process of cultural collaboration that helps overcome barriers, strengthen mutual understanding and trust, and create a win-win situation in the marketplace.

According to Chinese director Lai Mukuan, the dramatization of foreign film and television works represents a search for uniqueness in general. It is necessary to start from and focus on cultural commonalities in order to rapidly close the gap between film and television production and local audiences. Furthermore, it is also necessary to localize foreign cultural scenes, making characters and plots more realistic to convey emotions and values across different civilizations.

As China's film industry rapidly develops, industrial films, animations, and other genres are increasingly being released overseas, demonstrating the cultural confidence of Chinese cinema. "We look forward to all parties working together in the future to jointly promote the development of the film industry," Lai Mukuan added.

This forum provided new ideas for the globalization of the film industry within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and actively promoted the innovation and exploration of models for jointly produced films between China and other countries, so that they could become a bridge connecting different countries and cultures.

The fish market in Mitino has prepared festive promotions in honor of its birthday.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Discounts on many types of fish and seafood, as well as festive tastings, await visitors to the fish market. Moscow is on the wave in Mitino from September 25th to 28th. Organizers have prepared a special event for the venue's birthday—it opened here exactly a year ago and became the second such market and a continuation of the project in Kosino-Ukhtomsky.

A year ago

The location of the second market was deliberate: the Mitino district is located far from Kosino-Ukhtomsky, where the first fish market operated. This made the project convenient for residents of various parts of the capital and for visitors from the Moscow region. Its proximity to the Moscow Ring Road and several major highways also creates a comfortable environment for those who frequently travel out of town or transit through Moscow.

The design was based on the experience of the first location. The new market is single-story, with the most popular departments—"Caviar," "Smoked Delicacies," and "Seledochka"—located near the entrance. The several thousand square meters of the site are equipped with retail stalls, storage areas with different temperatures, a food court, a masterclass studio, and a laboratory for product quality testing.

Discounts and tastings during the holiday

For its first anniversary, the "Moscow on the Wave" market in Mitino has prepared some special surprises. From September 25th to 28th, you can buy a wide variety of fish and seafood at a 10% discount. Items include canned and prepared foods, Atlantic salmon steaks, green mussels, Chinook salmon, Commander squid, Kamchatka crab, and scallops. And on September 27th and 28th, guests can participate in festive tastings of northern fish, stroganina, sugudai, and chebureki filled with tender cod.

A year of fruitful work

Every week, the market in Mitino hosts children's master classes. Under the guidance of experienced chefs, young cooks prepare simple fish dishes that are easy to recreate at home. Over the course of a year, approximately 12,000 children attended these events. Dishes prepared include vinaigrette with anchovies and arugula, grilled squid, shrimp with watermelon, and mushroom stew with pike perch.

The market quickly gained popularity and became a place for family leisure and friendly gatherings. Live music is performed on the stage on Friday and weekend evenings.

Additionally, the free "Cook on the Spot" service has become popular: upon customer request, chefs can fry or bake freshly purchased fish and seafood, as well as help properly fillet a sea urchin or open oysters.

One of the main reasons for the project's success is its wide selection, including 600 high-quality fish and seafood items from Russia's key fishing regions. During the market's first year in Mitino, Murmansk shrimp, live carp, and pink salmon caviar became top sellers.

In addition to fish and seafood delicacies, guests can purchase accompanying products—for example, an unusual "live" pasta that pairs perfectly with shrimp, trout, and other seafood. Fresh pasta cooks faster than regular pasta and has a richer flavor. A wide selection of spices for various seafood dishes is also available on the shelves.

Social initiatives and support

The market, suppliers, and customers also participate in various social initiatives. For example, suppliers regularly help residents of border areas, military personnel on the front lines, and those undergoing treatment in hospitals. The "Moscow – on the Wave" market itself offers participants in the Special Military Operation (SVO) a permanent 10 percent discount on all products, and organizes cooking master classes for the children of military personnel.

Visitors to the site actively participated in a charity drive to purchase canned goods for donations to the front. Customers have already sent about a thousand cans of sprat, kilka, mackerel, herring, cod liver, and cod roe to the soldiers.

The results of the site's first year of operation demonstrated that a highly specialized market could become a popular destination for city residents, combining trade, educational initiatives, and a social mission. During this time, the market has provided Muscovites and visitors to the capital with high-quality seafood from across the country and fostered a culture of conscious consumption through tastings, master classes, and educational events.

Combining culinary diversity with a socially significant mission, it has become an important element of the city's infrastructure. It combines support for domestic producers, educational outreach, and a unique atmosphere that makes buying fish and seafood a pleasant and healthy habit. Moscow has retained its status as a port, but no longer at the seven, but at 13 seas and three oceans that border Russia.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In September, a group of young engineers, participants in the Polytechnic University's "Engineering League" rocket science intensive, embarked on a truly cosmic journey. They visited the legendary Baikonur Cosmodrome, where they not only witnessed the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle but also experienced the history of space exploration.

The trip was organized by the Polytechnic University's Student Admissions Center and coincided with the 27th International Conference "Rocket Modeling in Aerospace Education for Young People." The event brought together 154 young researchers from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries to discuss the design, construction, and launch of rocket models.

The Polytechnic delegation was accompanied by Yegor Temirgaliev, a senior lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial Management. The group included 10 students from St. Petersburg schools passionate about space and rocket science. Their stay at Baikonur was extremely intensive. The students lived on the grounds of the Chelomey International Space School (ISS), and were personally guided on tours by the ISS director and cosmodrome staff—all industry experts.

Over the course of a week, the young polytechnic students saw almost everything. They visited Assembly and Test Building (ATB) No. 112, where the Soyuz rockets are assembled, stood at the Gagarin Launch Pad—the historic site where the first human spaceflight began, and saw the Buran orbiter's landing complex and the Energia rocket launch command post.

They also visited the memorial houses of Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin, which preserve the unique atmosphere of the era of the first space victories, and strolled along Cosmonaut Alley, where every tree was planted by cosmonauts. The highlight of the trip was the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle carrying supplies for the ISS, which the participants observed from a short distance. This spectacle left no one indifferent.

Safira Tavliyarova, an 11th-grade student at Academic Gymnasium No. 56, shared her impressions: "The moment the fuel ignites, the entire sky is bathed in a bright light; it feels like the sun has returned for a moment. The flames flare up and rise. Everything around you bursts into flames, and you feel the warmth on your face, even though you're a kilometer away. You feel the vibrations of the rocket's takeoff through your entire body. This event reminded me that anything is possible in this world."

As Safira noted, the journey to Baikonur took almost two days, including a flight, a border crossing by car, and a train ride. However, all the difficulties were worth it, thanks to the unforgettable experience of immersing yourself in the world of cosmonautics.

"This trip left a warm, pleasant mark on my life. In my opinion, such impressions, emotions, and events are worth living for," she added.

This trip is a shining example of the Polytechnic University's strategy for engaging talented young people. The Engineering League project allows schoolchildren not only to gain theoretical knowledge in rocket science but also to see its practical application in the real economy, meet future employers, and immerse themselves in the professional environment.

"Seeing the scale of the space industry with your own eyes, feeling the power of engineering and the vibrations of a rocket taking off is an invaluable experience," notes Yegor Temirgaliyev. "Such experiences become a powerful motivation for young people to study the exact sciences in depth, enroll in technical universities, and eventually create their own breakthrough projects here at the Polytechnic University."

The Polytechnic University's Engineering League educational intensive program continues to open doors to the world of high technology and real science for talented schoolchildren, igniting new stars in the country's engineering firmament.

Specialists from the city's economy complex have begun workheat supply in the capital's buildings. The phased process of turning on heating will take several days. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works Petr Biryukov.

"Due to the drop in average daily outside temperatures, at the direction of the Moscow Mayor, we have begun switching the heating system to winter mode. Social institutions, including schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and clinics, will be the first to receive heat. At the same time, we will begin turning on heating in residential buildings and office buildings, followed by retail and industrial establishments," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

The heating system will be supplied in stages. Heating will be restored to all city facilities within a few days.

All systems and heating networks are fully prepared for heating. More than 74,000 facilities, including over 34,000 residential buildings, have been prepared for the autumn-winter period. All work was completed on schedule.

From May to September, specialists conducted hydraulic and temperature tests of the heating networks. This helped identify vulnerable areas early and perform repairs. These measures will ensure uninterrupted heat supply to consumers during the upcoming season.

Scientists from St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering are developing a methodology for predicting the reliability of steel-reinforced concrete structures.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction (TSiDMS) continues research into steel-reinforced concrete structures of superstructures under conditions of incomplete compatibility between steel beams and reinforced concrete slabs.

Although composite superstructures are now widely used in medium- and large-scale bridge projects, their calculation methodology has not been fully developed. In particular, one of the remaining open questions is the adequate analysis of connecting elements—one of the most important components of a composite structure that ensures the combined performance of the slab and beam.

The standard engineering approach, enshrined in both Russian and international design codes, assumes the connection between the slab and beam via connecting elements to be absolutely rigid in shear, which is rarely achieved in practice. While such a simplification is acceptable for new bridges, it appears inappropriate for existing structures or for assessing the durability of new bridges.

Nikolai Kozak, Associate Professor of the Department of Structural Engineering and Design, proposes evaluating steel-reinforced concrete structures using a method that takes into account the gradual decrease in shear stiffness of connecting elements, which depends on the process of accumulation of fatigue damage.

The general concept of the methodology includes an iterative calculation of structures with the determination of the level of damage accumulation in the elements of the connection and updating their rigidities (the concept is shown in the figure).

Today, the department's staff, including both faculty and students, is conducting research to develop methods for determining components such as:

models for reducing the rigidity of connecting elements; a model for calculating the load based on data on the actual traffic composition; methods for determining reliability indicators.

The research is being carried out within the framework of research projects by the research and teaching staff of SPbGASU using internal grants in 2025.
