Novosibirsk State University has launched a service for automatically creating audio versions of books from the digitized collection of the University's Scientific Library. The project is based on developments by the NSU Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI Center) and is currently undergoing testing. Following the successful completion of the pilot project, the technology is planned to be rolled out to other libraries.

At this stage, we are talking about converting books from the university press and materials posted in the electronic library into audio format, with the permission of the copyright holders—a total of about seven thousand titles.

The audio is generated by a neural network: the text is extracted from a PDF, pre-processed, and then an audio version is created. "In the future, we plan to convert all books available in the NSU e-library into audio format. Currently, this number is around 7,000," said Evgeny Pavlovsky, a leading researcher at the NSU Center for Artificial Intelligence and a PhD candidate in physics and mathematics. According to him, the service is not intended to completely replace traditional reading, but is being created as an alternative form of access to text.

"We don't create a voiceover that completely replicates the original. It's an additional way to work with the book. For mass use, it's important that the solution isn't resource-intensive: one book takes about half an hour of processor time, and we're talking about a 16-core processor, even without a graphics card," he explained.

The service is based on the Kappa framework, developed at the NSU AI Center. It is designed for managing datasets and artificial intelligence models, testing them, and evaluating them before implementing them in workflows. The framework allows for checking the correctness of models and reducing the risk of errors or so-called AI "hallucinations." In the new project, Kappa is used to prepare training data for voiceover and collect feedback on the quality of the results.

The first hundred books have already been read in pilot mode, and the team is now awaiting feedback from the library and users. Here's one of them. examples of the service's operationNSU emphasizes that the project is being considered a technological test. Once the technology itself and the mechanisms for interacting with the library have been refined, the service may be offered to other universities and public libraries through a partner platform or in other formats. According to the developers, in terms of computing resources, audio recording of the entire collection is possible within a month, but organizational preparation and verification of the audio recording results may take up to a year.

NPC Deputy Guo Hongjing is the head of the hardware parts team in the warehouse department of Tianjin Lizhong Wheel Co., Ltd. Over more than ten years, she has risen from a rural migrant worker to a skilled industrial worker and then to an NPC deputy, always remaining at the forefront.

Her daily responsibilities include receiving, issuing, and inventorying warehouse materials. This work may seem unobtrusive at first glance, but it's actually quite complex. In a huge warehouse, a thorough understanding of the many different types and models of goods is required, ranging from small screws to large electric motors.

Since 2018, Guo Hongjing has served two consecutive terms as an NPC deputy. She devotes the most attention to her colleagues. She often uses moments—lunchtime in the cafeteria or conversations in the dormitory—to listen to the voices of workers on the front lines and gather their opinions and suggestions.

During her time as a member of parliament, Guo Hongjing conducted surveys and research at enterprises, focusing on the modernization of production and the transformation of industrial workers. She also proposed innovative models for elderly care in rural areas, consistently bringing public welfare issues to the attention of the NPC session.

At the 2026 NPC session, Guo Hongjing will focus on topics such as green industrial development, protecting workers' rights and interests, and implementing paid leave, contributing to promoting high-quality socio-economic development.

This year's tournament attracted a record number of teams: 48 adult and 48 children's teams, including participants from Mozambique, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Vietnam, the Republic of Belarus, and other countries. For the first time, the competition featured a group stage and playoffs, and also included elements of phygital.

Despite the large number of teams, the football players and invited guests noted the high level of the football competitions.

"This is a very good tournament, unique in Kaliningrad, and it's attracting attention. It's not just about sports; it's also about team building, and there's a large program running alongside the tournament. The emotions are nothing but positive, it's attracted a lot of attention, and it's turning into a real football festival," said Natalya Ishchenko, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Sport of the Kaliningrad Region.

As part of the tournament, AVTOTOR organized a press conference and autograph session with legends of Russian football. Anyone could ask questions to Rinat Dasayev, winner of the 1988 "Best Goalkeeper in the World" award; Oleg Romantsev, Honored Coach of Russia; Dmitry Alenichev, winner of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League; Yegor Titov, Spartak Moscow's record holder for the most matches in the Russian championship; Roman Pavlyuchenko, bronze medalist of the 2008 European Championship; Dmitry Sychev, Russia's best footballer of 2004; and Pavel Pogrebnyak, winner of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup. All the invited stars also took part in a symbolic legends match, which took place on the AVTOTOR ARENA pitch before the finals.

"Well, first of all, the fact that such a sports complex exists is already great for the boys' growth. It's cold outside, but here it's summer. There's a field, a ball, all you have to do is train and grow," Oleg Romantsev told Russia.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to express my enormous gratitude to the organizers for the tournament. The sheer joy the children derive from it is truly indescribable. I want competitions to be held at this fantastic complex as often as possible," said Dmitry Alenichev.

"AVTOTOR Winter Ball": The third round is over, the intrigue is growing ahead of the playoffs

Source: AVTOTOR – Avtotor motor vehicles – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The final matches of the third group stage of the 7th International Mini-Football Tournament "AVTOTOR Winter Ball" concluded at AVTOTOR Arena. The day was a true celebration of sport, bringing together 16 school and 16 adult teams, each vying for the right to advance to the playoffs. The atmosphere in the stands was truly electrifying, and emotions were running high, foreshadowing a thrilling conclusion to the tournament. The opening of the game day featured drum performances, and before the start of the school portion, cheerleading energized the young football players with an energetic hip-hop dance, setting the dynamic tone for the entire event.

School Football: Leaders and Female Drive

The school portion of the tournament offered spectators many memorable moments. Both established leaders—Gymnasium No. 40, winners of the previous Winter Ball tournament, and the silver medalists, the AVTOTOR school team—and newcomers took to the field. The all-girl team from School No. 19 attracted particular attention. Their participation was a clear confirmation of the growing interest in football among schoolgirls. Coach Larisa Ivanova, a physical education teacher and five-time regional champion, the first female Kaliningrad football champion since 1988, proudly spoke of her team: "They're proud of it! They're the best in the school. Even the best boys haven't achieved as much. They're 10-time regional champions!" The girls don't just participate; they play on equal terms with the boys, demonstrating complex moves and a will to win. "We train with them constantly, and it's a great experience." "It's better for us, considering we're going to Veliky Novgorod in a week for a competition," Larisa Viktorovna explained. Young footballer Victoria Serebryanskaya confirmed the team's fighting spirit: "The atmosphere is awesome! I hope we win!" When asked if she's scared of playing with boys, Victoria confidently replied, "No. I train with them during practice, so it's not really scary. Our greatest strength is that we're strong together!"

The kids from Dobrovolsk made the four-hour bus journey from one of the most remote corners of the Kaliningrad region to experience the atmosphere of professional football. Their coach, Ashot Velyan, a youth coach from the Krasnoznamensky Municipal District, shared his impressions: "It's very pleasant here, a very good atmosphere. That's why I brought the kids here, so they could experience the real atmosphere of football, when there are many teams, many kids playing. This is rare here; it doesn't always happen." He noted that the children manage to compete despite the financial difficulties some families face. The administration and sponsors help the kids with uniforms and shoes, paving the way for them to enter professional sports. "We traveled four hours here, and it certainly takes a toll on their physical fitness. But I think my kids are strong in this regard." "They're used to difficulties, and that doesn't frighten us," added Ashot Edikovich, expressing hope that the tournament will help his players gain experience and become stronger.

Corporate Battles: International Scope and Powerful Support

After the schoolchildren, the adult corporate teams took to the pitch at AVTOTOR Arena. This year, the tournament confirmed its international status. Pedro Umwe from Equatorial Guinea, a country unique in Africa for its Spanish language and, perhaps for this reason, its love of football, shared his impressions: "The atmosphere at the tournament was incredible, a spirit of friendship and sporting celebration reigned." He, like many other foreign participants, spoke English, but everyone understood the language of football. In one of the groups, the winners of the previous tournament, the team from the Baltic Shipyard "Yantar," were battling for a spot in the playoffs, aiming to prove their class. The strongest support in the stands went to the "Founders" team, another AVTOTOR team representing auto component factories. The fans created an incredible atmosphere, bringing banners and prepared chants, demonstrating that corporate football is not just a game, but a true celebration for the entire team. The corporate teams demonstrated a game no less passionate than the young footballers, proving that the love of football knows no age or profession.

Playoffs and meetings with legends

The third round is over, and now all eyes are on the decisive matches. The 7th International AVTOTOR Winter Ball Tournament will culminate on February 14-15, with the most important playoff games and the grand finals. Teams will compete for a substantial prize pool of 2,000,000 rubles. Spectators will also be treated to exciting matches and encounters with legends of Russian and Soviet football. AVTOTOR Arena will host stars such as Rinat Dasayev, Oleg Romantsev, Dmitry Alenichev, Egor Titov, Pavel Pogrebnyak, Roman Pavlyuchenko, and Dmitry Sychev. Renowned sports journalists Vitaly Makarov and Pyotr Denisov from the federal television channel Match TV will continue to commentate on these unforgettable moments. Don't miss the main events of the AVTOTOR Winter Ball – it's going to be truly action-packed!

The AVTOTOR Winter Ball tournament was made possible thanks to the support of our wonderful partners. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who shared this sporting passion with us and helped organize this true football festival. Special thanks to our electric vehicle brands: AMBERAVTO and EONYX, as well as the NF-Motors dealership.

Tverskaya kneading, Ural style

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Ural Automobile Plant – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

URAL crews competed for the title of "King of the Mountain" on extreme tracks in Tver.

Last weekend, Pavlov's Adventure Park in Tver became the scene of heated battles as part of the annual "Tver Mess. King of the Hill" motorsport competition. Athletes from the URAL Automobile Plant's trials team, URAL MOTORSPORT, and the Service Center competed for the main title in conditions that tested the strength of both equipment and drivers.

A formidable team of five crews from URAL took the starting line at the legendary off-road event. Their competitors included both private participants and teams representing another giant of the Russian automotive industry, KAMAZ.

"This season, our factory was represented by four racing teams. Three cars came from the URAL MOTORSPORT team and one crew from the Service Center, which is based on the factory premises. For our service specialists, this is a kind of elective—an activity they enjoy. They have their own dedicated vehicle—a Ural-4320. They prepare it, maintain it, and race in it themselves," commented Viktor Yakovlev, head of the URAL MOTORSPORT racing team.

The competition's difficulty and spectacle were greatly increased by the heavy autumn rains, which had thoroughly washed out the track just before the start. Navigating the slippery clay slopes presented a real challenge for all crews.

As the organizers noted, one of the key points on the route was located at an altitude of 12 meters. Climbing such steep and wet slopes presented a severe challenge even for specially prepared equipment, let alone standard SUVs.

"The course was interesting even in dry weather, but the rain reduced the variability of its passage to a minimum. The route became incredibly challenging for all participants," emphasized Evgeny Pavlov.

Such competitions are not only a sporting struggle, but also a serious test of technique at the limits of capabilities.

"For the truck industry, these kinds of events are a platform for extreme testing. We see what the vehicles are truly capable of: how the suspension, frame, and cabin perform. It becomes clear which components require special attention, and what happens to the axle shafts under critical conditions. Our vehicles demonstrate the highest reliability. It's important to note that these are completely production vehicles, with the only modification being a protective safety cage," explained Viktor Yakovlev.

The Ural Automobile Plant provided its team with extensive preparation for the final trials event of the year. Prior to their trip to Tver, all athletes in the trials team completed intensive on-site training at training grounds in the Chelyabinsk region.

Cars presented for the competition:

4320 (with the old cabin and 4×4 wheel arrangement), Next 4×4 (with the new cabin and 4×4 wheel arrangement), and URAL trucks with 6×6 and 8×8 wheel arrangements. The latter vehicle was represented by two crews, in the "prototypes and 8×8" category.

Results of the cargo trial competition:

Truck-Trial 4×4:

1st place — Aleksandr Sychev, Roman Makshantsev (Miass, Chelyabinsk region, Ural 4×4 vehicle); 2nd place — Sergey Savenko, Ekaterina Bogdanova (Dolgoprudny, Moscow region, Mercedes Unimog vehicle); 3rd place — Sergey Kolomazin, Anatoly Klyukanov (Miass, Chelyabinsk region, Ural 43206-10 vehicle).

Truck-Trial 6×6:

1st place – Andrey Parfentyev Jr., Andrey Parfentyev Sr. (Verbilki, Moscow region, ZIL 131 car); 2nd place – Sergey Shershnev, Ivan Bolotov (Miass, Chelyabinsk region, Ural car 583156); 3rd place – Alexey Golovin, Anton Romanov (Naberezhnye Chelny, Republic of Tatarstan, KAMAZ 5350 car).

Truck-Trial prototypes and 8×8:

1st place – Vladimir Petelin, Nikolay Korolev (Miass, Chelyabinsk region, Ural car 532361); 2nd place – Nikolay Korolev, Vladimir Petelin (Miass, Chelyabinsk region, Ural car 532361); 3rd place – Oleg Bezugly, Anton Cherechecha (Aprelevka, Moscow region, GAZ car 3308).
