Today, voting for the elections of deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the region of the eighth convocation and to local government bodies has started in the Novosibirsk region. On September 12, the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk, was one of the first to vote at polling station No. 1951, which is located in the rector's office building of Novosibirsk State University.

Mikhail Fedoryuk, voting for candidates for the Legislative Assembly of the Novosibirsk Region and the Council of Deputies of Novosibirsk, emphasized that we are choosing those people who will determine the future development of our region.

— By electing deputies, each of us will significantly influence how the legislative branch will work in the coming years, what the regional budget will be, whether all necessary measures will be implemented to develop the economy, scientific and technological, social sphere, to further increase salaries and pensions, to reform education and improve people's health, measures to combat corruption, crime and other significant aspects. If we want our lives to change for the better, it is important to come to the elections and fulfill the duty of a responsible citizen, — the rector of NSU noted.

From September 12 to 14, it will be possible to vote in Novosibirsk and the region both online and at polling stations.

In total, more than 2 million voters are registered in Novosibirsk Oblast, according to the Oblast Electoral Commission. All 1,757 polling stations in the region are equipped with video surveillance or video recording equipment.

On the campus of Novosibirsk State University there are two polling stations No. 1951 and No. 1953 at the following addresses: ul. Pirogova, 1, and ul. Pirogova, 10.

NSU graduate studies spoken language of Akademgorodok residents

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Graduate Humanitarian Institute of NSU (Fundamental and Applied Linguistics) Ekaterina Kulyatina studied how the living conversational speech of the intelligentsia of the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok is structured. Her work expands the possibilities for research in the field of stylistics and genre theory, and also opens up prospects for teaching neural networks to understand the subtleties of human speech.

In the project, Ekaterina analyzed the recordings of memories of residents of Akademgorodok, paying special attention to the so-called modus – the subjective “superstructure” of the statement.

— If I say: it is raining — it is simply a fact. And if I say: it seems to be raining — I add doubt. That is the modus. There are many such semantic superstructures in the Russian language, and they can overlap, — Ekaterina explained.

The work is written within the framework of the structural-semantic approach, the founder of which is considered to be Viktor Vladimirovich Vinogradov. Within the framework of modern syntactic concepts, which Ekaterina Kulyatina relied on in her research (the theory of modeling elementary simple sentences, developed by Maya Ivanovna Cheremisina), the contradictions contained in V. V. Vinogradov's approach are overcome. Nevertheless, the structural-semantic approach allows solving a wide range of scientific problems. As Ekaterina Kulyatina explained, the dictum part of speech constructions is now very well described, many works on this topic have been published, but the modus component, which she emphasized in her work, has not yet been studied so well.

The student took the recordings for analysis from the project "Myths and Legends of Akademgorodok" and supplemented them with her own interviews. The sample consisted of interviews with ten respondents – people with a high level of proficiency in Russian, many of whom were engaged in scientific research work.

— In their speech, we saw a high density of meanings: complex phrases, participial and adverbial constructions. Such features make oral speech rich, but at the same time difficult to analyze — especially automatically, — noted Ekaterina.

According to the author of the project, understanding the mode is important not only for philology, but also for technology. In the future, such developments can be used in training neural networks so that they understand and convey not only facts, but also subjective shades of meaning.

“We are not yet at the stage where a computer can fully recognize and reproduce such nuances, but this is a logical next step,” she noted.

The results achieved within the framework of Ekaterina Kulyatina's diploma work may be useful for research in the field of stylistics and genre theory.

— We have outlined a methodology for describing the genre of memoirs from the point of view of structural and semantic features. This is useful both for stylistics and for teaching, — Ekaterina emphasized.

The graduate herself plans to slightly change the direction of her research during her master's studies, focusing on the automation of speech analysis.

"I want to try to teach the computer to extract modal meanings and compare the machine results with my manual ones. This will be an honest test of how technologically ready we are for such an analysis," Ekaterina concluded.

During the XI St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov opened the Sergei Kuryokhin Center for Contemporary Art.

"The architecture of the center is permeated with the emotions and spirit of the man after whom it is named, Sergei Kuryokhin. Innovation and modernity were inherent to him. His works breathed precisely this. It is important to feel this and discover new facets of his art," said Tatyana Golikova.

After a large-scale reconstruction, the center has been transformed into a modern space for creativity, inspiration, meetings, discoveries and relaxation.

The unique multifunctional complex is ready to host a variety of contemporary art forms. Concerts, festivals, theatre productions, exhibitions and TV filming, lectures, video installations, and laboratories are planned here.

Alexander Beglov noted that the building of the center previously housed the Priboy cinema, which had not been used in recent years, and now an avant-garde center has been created.

“The souls of everyone who worked on its creation were put into this center, and this is a good memory for Sergei,” said Alexander Beglov.

The center will feature a permanent exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Sergei Kuryokhin, in whose memory this center was created – a man of multifaceted talent, a bold innovator who left a bright mark on art.

The Deputy Prime Minister congratulated all those present on the opening of the center and expressed confidence that the new projects, creative discussions and cultural events that will take place here will unite people of different generations and views, and will be filled with meanings based on our traditional spiritual and moral values.

“Let this space always be filled with the energy of creation, lively meetings and bold ideas,” said Tatyana Golikova.

The International Sports Games of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky and the International Forum "Faith and Sport" have opened in St. Petersburg. They will run until September 15.

Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev read out a greeting from Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which the head of state, in particular, noted: "These large-scale competitions, dedicated to the memory of Prince Alexander Nevsky – an outstanding statesman, commander, a true patriot, introduce young men and women to traditional moral ideals and values, and serve to promote a healthy, active lifestyle in society. And of course, such significant, popular projects strengthen the connection between times and generations, and testify to the sincere, growing interest of young people in their native history, in our roots and origins."

The head of state expressed confidence that the Games, which are being held on the initiative of the Patriarchal Commission for Physical Culture and Sports, will become a major and truly festive event and will be remembered for a long time for their special, inspiring atmosphere.

In his greeting, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' emphasized that this year the competition, which has received international status, is being held in St. Petersburg – “a city where the relics of St. Alexander Nevsky are reverently kept and where representatives of different cultures have peacefully coexisted for more than three centuries.”

Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the Preparation and Holding of the International Sports Games of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky Dmitry Chernyshenko also sent greetings to the organizers, participants and guests of the Games and the forum. He emphasized the symbolism of holding the first international games in St. Petersburg – a city that has been building a dialogue between representatives of different countries for centuries.

“Prince Alexander, who united the Russian lands and peoples, who became the personification of our spiritual, state, military and diplomatic aspirations, became by right the patron of a significant initiative of the Russian Orthodox Church and traditional religions of Russia in the field of physical culture and sports, aimed at the spiritual, moral and patriotic education of the younger generation,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

He added that the approach to organizing and holding sporting events that combines spiritual growth and physical improvement will become Russia’s invaluable contribution to the development of world sport.

The International Forum “Faith and Sport”, which is part of the Games, will become a vibrant discussion platform for discussing a wide range of issues.

"I would like to extend special greetings to the foreign participants of the Games. It is gratifying to realize that the proposed format of combining sports competitions and spiritual and moral growth finds a practical response from our friends from Belarus, Egypt, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Tajikistan and other countries. I wish all participants, guests and organizers of the international games sports victories and success in the upcoming competitions!" the Deputy Prime Minister concluded.

Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov wished the participants to believe in themselves, respect their opponents and added: “I am sure that you have all already won, because you are at these Games, you are in St. Petersburg!”

The sports program of the Games includes competitions in five sports (basketball, sambo, mini-football, chess, table tennis), and the fulfillment of the standards for testing the All-Russian physical culture and sports complex "Ready for Labor and Defense".

 

The Games will include the international forum “Faith and Sport” – a discussion platform for experts to exchange experiences and develop solutions aimed at interaction between religious organizations of traditional faiths in Russia and executive authorities, organizations and institutions in the field of physical culture and sport.

 

The organizers of the Games in 2025 are the Ministry of Sports, the Patriarchal Commission for Physical Culture and Sports, and the Government of St. Petersburg. The composition of the organizing committee has been approved.

Whether it's getting together with friends and spending the day at a safari park on the outskirts of town on the weekends or heading to another city specifically to visit a zoo during the holidays, zoos have become a popular pastime among Chinese youth in recent years.

In recent years, Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo has become very popular, with more than 15,000 visitors daily, and many tourists come to Nanjing specifically for the zoo.

In addition, Xining Zoo in Qinghai Province has become famous throughout the country for its snow leopards "Ling Xiaomang" and "Ling Xiaozhe", while tiger "Hongtang" in Shanghai Zoo and lion cub "Xiaomao" in Harbin Polar Aquarium in Heilongjiang Province have attracted many fans with their playful and friendly nature.

The popularity of Zoo Walk is due to the fact that zoos offer a variety of interesting activities to attract young visitors.

"We just want to gradually break people's traditional notion that a zoo is just a place to show animals," said Shen Zhijun, director of Hongshan Forest Zoo. Through innovative efforts such as developing cultural and creative products, the zoo has transformed from a single-function space into a multifunctional cultural space where people can see and play.

Shangfangshan Zoo in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, launched the “Under Your Name, Guardianship Out of Love” program, allowing citizens to directly participate in the daily protection of animals through guardianship. This will not only provide animals with more care, but also give citizens a deeper understanding of the animals’ habits, thereby strengthening their consciousness of protecting nature.

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — The central banks of China and Indonesia on Thursday formally launched a local currency settlement framework for bilateral transactions to facilitate the further use of local currencies in bilateral trade and investment.

The new mechanism is based on a memorandum of understanding signed in May this year, which modernized the previous framework mechanism by extending settlements in national currencies to all balance of payments items.

In addition, the central bank governors of the two countries announced on the same day the official launch of a bilateral pilot project for cross-border connectivity through QR codes. The project, which will enable settlements in national currencies, is expected to be fully operational in 2025 and will mark an important advance in the payment cooperation between the two countries.

"The establishment of a national currency settlement framework for bilateral transactions and the interconnection of cross-border payments through QR codes are important achievements of China-Indonesian financial cooperation," said Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC, central bank).

He pointed out that the central banks of the two countries should further deepen cooperation in areas such as the interconnection of payment systems, the use of national currencies and digital currencies.

The PBOC also announced that the central banks of China and Indonesia will establish a joint working mechanism to further enhance the institutionalization of bilateral cooperation to promote deeper and more productive financial cooperation. –0–
