URUMQI, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) — Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) is bracing for heavy snowfall and a sharp drop in temperatures, imposing traffic restrictions and putting heating suppliers on high alert.

On Wednesday, the Xinjiang weather service raised its cold weather alert from orange to red, the highest level in China's four-tier weather warning system, after forecasting temperatures in western and northern Xinjiang to drop by 16 to 20 degrees Celsius.

In Altay County, a famous ski resort in northern Xinjiang, moderate to heavy snowfall has been observed since Tuesday evening. In Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, more than 12.1 mm of precipitation fell between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.

To minimize traffic disruptions, the Urumqi city government mobilized more than 16,000 utility workers and deployed 1,900 snow removal vehicles before the morning rush hour on Thursday.

The region also suspended train service on major railway lines and imposed traffic restrictions on 84 road sections, 26 of which were open to traffic by Thursday morning.

Heating suppliers in Xinjiang have also taken various precautionary measures and initiated emergency measures to prevent indoor temperatures from dropping.

"We are on standby 24/7 to respond promptly to any heating system failures," said Ma Lei of Yining City's main heating company.

According to China's National Meteorological Center (NMC), Xinjiang has become the first stop in a cold wave that will bring widespread lower temperatures and herald the first major snowfalls in China this winter.

Snowfall will increase significantly on Thursday and Friday, with heavy snowfall or even blizzards likely in regions such as Shaanxi Province in northwest China, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shanxi and Hebei Provinces in northern China, and Henan Province in central China, the National Meteorological Center reported.

Meteorologists warn that this cold wave will affect vast areas and may be accompanied by a sharp drop in air temperatures and strong winds. Relevant agencies have been advised to take comprehensive precautions, and residents are advised to wrap up warm and exercise caution on the roads. -0-

JINAN, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) — With China's pet market size projected to grow to 1.15 trillion yuan (about 162.5 billion U.S. dollars) by 2028, pet products companies in east China's Shandong Province are poised to open a new chapter by seizing growth opportunities through comprehensive technological innovation.

From high-tech pet food to fashion accessories, local businesses in Shandong Province are using "supply and demand matching" and "pet-friendly" strategies to win the hearts and wallets of pet owners. This provincial-level transformation reflects a broader shift in China, where pets are increasingly being treated as family members, driving demand for high-quality and practical products.

Tai'an-based Taichong Pet Food Co., Ltd. has introduced a new line of steamed fresh pet food products with 98 percent nutrient retention, an example of how innovation can meet pet health-related demands and the needs of pet owners for scientifically-approachable pet nutrition.

“Our sales exceeded 100 tons within the first month after launching the new product line,” said Li Qing, the company’s executive director and general manager.

The company's journey to such success began recently, when it undertook complex research and development to develop baked shortbreads to meet demand for low-oil, high-fresh-meat recipes. Hundreds of tons of trial products were tested during this process.

The company has now grown to offer a full range of products, including extruded, baked, crispy and steamed delicacies.

Now, with over 60 patents, Taichong Pet Food is growing even faster to meet market demands through continuous innovation.

China's pet economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, fueled by government policies aimed at improving the balance of supply and demand for consumer goods.

On November 26 this year, six government departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, jointly released an action plan that prioritizes increasing consumption levels to further unlock the potential of domestic demand.

This directive has clear practical applications and resonance in the rapidly developing pet sector of Shandong Province. Improving consumption extends beyond material goods to include improved quality of life and emotional satisfaction.

Zhao Shuimiao, a designer at Shandong Kaigao International Trade Co., Ltd., has perfected the design of a cat tree after observing the habits of hundreds of cats.

"This height is their favorite destination when climbing a tree. A soft nest-like crib at the top ensures maximum safety," she said. The product, which combines ethology (the science of animal behavior) and home aesthetics, was an immediate hit, and the corresponding product line comprises more than 30 series and over 2,000 items, designed for a variety of spaces—from one-room studios to homes with multiple pets.

In Caoxian County, Shandong Province, TAORAE brand founder Cheng Zhanying combined traditional Hanfu embroidery techniques with pet clothing designs. "We create clothing rich in cultural elements to allow our furry friends to express their unique individuality through fashion," he remarked, displaying carefully crafted pet clothing.

"Dressing her up beautifully is as much a joy as dressing your own child," said owner Wang Cuina, speaking of her dog. Remarkably, this deep immersion in emotional values extends to urban public spaces and infrastructure: some shopping malls in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, now offer pet-friendly strollers and elevators, and some restaurants have cleverly created pet-friendly areas, fostering a unique community culture.

The sentiment of shopper Li Shanshan, who captured this shift well, reflects the sentiment of many pet owners: “I can now easily integrate my pet into my daily life, and that feeling of acceptance is a kind of satisfaction in itself.” -0-

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Students majoring in management and engineering at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have teamed up with a qualified client, Power Machines, to create comprehensive final qualifying theses. The work has the special status of "Project as a Final Qualifying Qualifying Thesis" and is being completed by students from the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport. The creation of new formats for employer participation in the updated model of higher engineering education is being implemented with the support of the federal program "Priority 2030."

The main objective of the "Project as a Final Qualification Work Project" is to improve the operations of an industrial enterprise by optimizing technological and logistical processes. The project is being implemented by a team of students with both engineering and economic and managerial competencies. The team consists of six people from four areas of study: two students from the Higher School of Physics and Materials Engineering at IMMiT (Materials Science and Metallurgy), two students from the Higher School of Industrial Management at IPMEiT (Management), and two students from the Higher School of Service and Trade at IPMEiT (Trade).

Academic supervision on behalf of the Polytechnic University is provided by faculty from the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology and the Institute of Mechanics and Technology (IMMET). Student consulting on behalf of the qualified client is provided by employees of Power Machines.

Students focus on the comprehensive analysis and optimization of the company's production processes. Their primary focus is on exploring the potential use of current inventory for tooling production, as well as mathematical modeling of blank production processes from various alloys. Concurrently, work is underway to create a material interchangeability matrix and develop methods for more efficient use of slow-moving inventory.

By completing a comprehensive final qualifying work, students from various fields of study will, in addition to solving their core problems, be able to improve communication between engineering and management staff. This will allow them to more quickly adapt to the company upon employment and better understand the tasks and terminology of various departments, says Zoya Simakova, the project's lead investigator and Associate Professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management.

The goal of this comprehensive thesis is to improve the company's operational efficiency by addressing two key objectives. First, a plan will be developed for integrating slowly used inventory into production—either by using it in new projects or by modifying its technological properties. Second, the thesis will determine the economic feasibility and propose specific steps for establishing in-house production of some tooling equipment at Power Machines.

"Adding metallurgical and process analysis to the final qualifying thesis will not only allow for the economic justification of proposed management decisions but also the development of specific engineering solutions for materials processing and tooling production. This will enhance the practical value of the thesis and its applicability to JSC Power Machines," comments Pavel Kovalev, Deputy Director for Educational Activities at IMMiT.

It's worth noting that this project has significant practical and methodological implications: over the course of three years, students completed comprehensive final theses commissioned by Power Machines, with the Graduate School of Industrial Management serving as the responsible executor on behalf of the university. In 2023, students from the Graduate School of Industrial Management, the Graduate School of Engineering and Economics, and the Graduate School of Service and Trade completed final theses as part of the project "Harmonization of Production Needs with the Provision of Components and Materials." by order of the Electrosila plantIn 2024, the "interschool" student project focused on transforming the purchasing activities of an industrial enterprise to reduce slow-moving inventory. for the Leningrad Metal Plant, and last year, students successfully defended a project for LMZ on solving real production and management problems.

The comprehensive final qualifying project, completed by students majoring in management and engineering, is of strategic importance for our city in the context of technological independence, economic sustainability, and social development. The proposed project aims to address challenges related to the development and implementation of new material properties through additional technological processing of slow-moving inventory, the selection and economic justification of alternative materials for tooling, reducing dependence on foreign technologies when analyzing the feasibility of tooling insourcing, optimizing warehouse processes, and developing human resources for solving multidisciplinary problems, says Anna Chernikova, project manager and IPMEIT Deputy Director for Academic and Methodological Work.

An important aspect of the project is the presentation of the final result of the comprehensive final qualifying work at a meeting of the Unified State Examination Committee chaired by the management of Power Machines. The members of the SEC are representatives of the qualified client and faculty from the Institute of Mechanics and Electronics and the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy. The defense will take place in June 2026 at the Leningrad Metal Plant.

For JSC Power Machines, integrating education and production is a strategic priority, and participating in the integrated final qualifying work in the "Project as a Final Qualification Thesis" format allows us to identify talented students before they begin their professional careers and assess their competencies in a real-world production environment. We highly value the Polytechnic University's systematic approach: teamwork among students from various fields of study, support from academic supervisors, and a focus on results that are meaningful to the company. Such initiatives are a significant contribution to technological independence and sustainable industrial development," commented Evgeniya Khmel, Director of General Supplier Development at JSC Power Machines, on the significance of the joint project.

A symbol of service to humanity: today marks the first Nobel Prize ceremony.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On December 10, 1901, the first ceremony of awarding the Nobel Prizes, international awards established by the will of the Swedish inventor, industrialist, and philanthropist Alfred Nobel, took place in Stockholm, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway.

For the good of man

Nobel wrote his will in 1895, a year before his death. In it, he expressed his wish that his fortune serve as a reward to those who had brought the greatest benefit to humanity. According to the document, the income from the capital was to be distributed annually by a specially established fund in five equal parts for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and diligence in the cause of peace.

Implementing the will required several years of legal, diplomatic, and organizational efforts. It was only in 1900 that the Nobel Foundation was officially established and the institutions responsible for selecting the laureates were appointed: the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and the Norwegian parliamentary Nobel Committee. It is worth noting that the Prize in Economic Sciences was established at the initiative of the Bank of Sweden in 1968 and has been awarded since 1969. The first awards ceremony took place on December 10, 1901—the fifth anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. This date has remained the same since then.

From the very beginning, a clear geography and protocol was established:

The Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, in the presence of the King of Norway and members of the royal family, by the Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The best winners in physics, chemistry, physiology and medicine, literature, and economics are personally honored by the King of Sweden in Stockholm. That same evening, the Nobel Banquet takes place in Stockholm—a gala event attended by the King and Queen of Sweden, members of the royal family, laureates, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of Parliament, leading scientists, and public figures. This tradition has been maintained for over 120 years.

With faith in the best

Among the first laureates in 1901 were: physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for the discovery of X-rays, chemist Jacobus van't Hoff for discoveries in chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure, physician Emil von Behring for his work on serum therapy, especially against diphtheria, writer Sully-Prudhomme in recognition of his poetic works, which display a lofty idealism, and peacemakers Henry Dunant and Frédéric Passy for the founding of the Red Cross and the creation of the League of Peace.

Since then, Nobel Prizes have been awarded to dozens of the greatest minds and activists of the 20th and 21st centuries: Marie Curie and Albert Einstein, Ivan Pavlov and Ilya Mechnikov, Pyotr Kapitsa and Lev Landau, Henryk Sienkiewicz and Ivan Bunin, Boris Pasternak and Joseph Brodsky, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, and many others.

The Nobel Prize remains more than just an award, but a symbol of service to humanity—to science, peace, justice, and culture. And with each passing year, it acquires new meaning, remaining true to the legacy of the man who, having created dynamite to help miners and construction workers, was horrified by its military use and bequeathed to humanity the dream of world peace.
