Medplant, a resident of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ), has developed a capnograph for monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the human body. The next-generation device is assembled entirely from domestically produced components and provides accurate monitoring of patients' breathing, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, the capital is creating unique conditions for the development of high-tech enterprises. Thanks to this, a company from the Technopolis Moscow SEZ has developed a device for diagnosing the respiratory system. The device measures the patient's respiratory rate and the carbon dioxide content in exhaled air. The device has already been added to the Russian Register of Measuring Instruments. This has allowed the company to begin preparations for its launch into mass production," said Maxim Liksutov.

The device differs from imported counterparts in its small size, light weight, and ease of transport. The portable device is equipped with modern sensors and uses highly efficient computing methods to obtain accurate readings. This completely eliminates the need for other methods of monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the human body.

During its operations in the capital's SEZ, the company has developed and launched into serial production over 45 medical devices for emergency care.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin opened Practical training center for mechanical engineering in the SEZ "Technopolis Moscow".

URUMQI, December 16 (Xinhua) — The total volume of electricity transmitted from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to other regions of the country exceeded 1 trillion kWh as of Monday, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co. Ltd. reported.

The power transmission program, which began in 2010, supplies electricity to 22 provinces across China, making a significant contribution to the country's energy security.

Of all electricity transmitted from the region, 29.6 percent came from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. This delivered significant environmental benefits, including a reduction in coal consumption of approximately 89.53 million tons and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 240 million tons.

Xinjiang, rich in coal, solar, and wind resources, has developed a robust power grid with five main transmission lines. This infrastructure provides 33 million kW of transmission capacity, facilitating large-scale interregional power transmission.

To optimize the use of power transmission channels, Xinjiang has integrated into the unified national electricity market, implementing flexible trading mechanisms. The region utilizes the two- to three-hour time difference with eastern China to balance supply and demand, increasing efficiency.

Bucharest, December 16 (Xinhua) — The Romanian Parliament on Monday rejected a motion of no confidence in Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's government at a joint session of the two chambers.

420 of the 463 parliamentarians attended the meeting, but only 141 voted: 139 for and two against. A minimum of 232 votes were needed to pass the proposal.

The vote of no confidence was initiated by Senator Ninel Peia and supported by legislators from the Peace – Romania First parliamentary group, the Alliance for the Unification of Romanians, and several independent parliamentarians.

They accused I. Bolojan's cabinet of poor management of key sectors, including public finances, healthcare, education, social protection, justice and public administration.

Speaking in parliament during the debate, the prime minister defended his government, stating that Romania risked losing the confidence of financial markets when he took office six months ago. "We avoided this scenario thanks to measures that began to restore economic balance and reduce the deficit," said I. Bolojan, citing increased budget revenues, a reduced deficit compared to last year, and restored investor confidence, reflected in lower borrowing costs.

He also said the government would not raise taxes next year and would focus on improving tax collection, combating tax evasion and attracting European funds.

The Prime Minister criticised the sponsors of the no-confidence motion, saying they were encouraging "chaos and scandal" rather than offering viable solutions.
