Harbin, September 17 (Xinhua) — The world premiere of the film "731" (Evil Unbound) about Unit 731 took place on Wednesday in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, where a Japanese army unit was based for committing grave atrocities against humanity. The film depicts the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in China.

The film "731" tells the story of Wang Yongzhang, a local merchant, and others forcibly imprisoned in the "special prison" of Unit 731, where they were lured with false promises of freedom in exchange for cooperation in supposed medical examinations and disease prevention research, but became victims of horrific medical experiments, including frostbite tests, gas exposure, and vivisection.

The base of Unit 731, a secret Japanese army unit engaged in the research and development of biological and chemical weapons, was established in the Pingfang area of Harbin and served as the main center of Japanese germ warfare in China and Southeast Asia during World War II. -0-

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Employees of the Civil Engineering Institute participated in the Nevsky Construction Forum 2025. The event is a key platform for discussing current issues related to the development of the construction industry and the digitalization of urban planning.

The Civil Engineering Institute was represented by Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering, Yegor Melekhin, Assistant Professor at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil, and Road Construction, and Elena Chegotova, Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil, and Road Construction and an expert in urban planning legislation, technical regulation, and digitalization in construction.

Marina Petrochenko spoke at a Smart Dialogue dedicated to the topic of regulatory requirements registries. In her speech, she emphasized the importance of the country's technological leadership in various industries and the need to improve the Federal State Information System for Labor Protection and the Construction Complex as tools for achieving this goal and addressing industry challenges. She noted that current requirements registries are one-dimensional systems based on text data from regulatory documents. However, the future lies in multimodal data management models that will enable the use of artificial intelligence to analyze evidence in various formats: text, photos, videos, audio, and sensor data.

Egor Melekhin actively participated in the Smart Cases case conference, where participants shared experiences, analyzed successful and unsuccessful practices, and identified the best solutions to pressing problems in the construction industry. In his presentation, he emphasized the need to optimize design processes, such as the classification of information model elements. He presented the development of the software product "IMPULSE," which automates the process of classifying building information model elements. The program uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, achieving forecasting accuracy of up to 97%. Egor Melekhin emphasized that AI is not only popular language models or image generation, but also a powerful tool for analyzing various types of data. The ISI team is currently working to improve the program's mechanism and promote the use of AI to optimize construction tasks.

Elena Chegotova actively participated in the forum on both the first and second days as an expert, making a significant contribution to the discussion of digitalization and regulatory issues in construction.

The forum concluded with a Smart Visit for the delegation to the Civil Engineering Institute. Forum guests were given a tour of MetaCampus, where they were able to learn about the Institute's developments. Participants also visited the Additive Technologies and 3D Printing training laboratory, where they saw cutting-edge construction technologies firsthand.

We are pleased to participate in such a large-scale event as the Nevsky Construction Forum 2025. We believe it is important not only to highlight Polytechnic University's achievements but also to demonstrate them in the laboratories of the Civil Engineering Institute. This allows us not only to share experience but also to demonstrate the real-world application of our developments, which are already changing approaches to solving problems in the construction industry. Today, requirements registers work exclusively with text data. However, the evidence base in construction is inherently multimodal. Once we transition to multimodal AI models, the verification of digital information models will not only be automated but also much more reliable. "Polytechnic MetaCampus" can become the first experimental platform for testing such solutions," noted Marina Petrochenko.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The 44th All-Russian Student Olympiad in Strength of Materials (third round) was held at the Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (NNGASU). Seventy students from 20 technical universities across Russia and a team from Belarus participated.

Saint Petersburg was represented by four Polytechnic students: winners of the regional stage: Diana Shvetsova and Anna Andreeva from the Civil Engineering Institute, and Maya Varennikova and Anastasia Ambrosovskaya from the Institute of Physics and Mechanics. The Polytechnic team was led by Daria Kitaeva, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Mechanics and Control Processes (HSMMCP). The students were trained by HSMMCP Associate Professor Elena Yakovleva and Senior Lecturers Irina Chirareva and Alexey Grishchenko.

Participants were given four hours to solve six challenging problems, each of which was assessed on a ten-point scale by a jury of instructors accompanying the teams. The problems were prepared by specialists from the All-Russian Olympiads in Strength of Materials section of the Federal Educational and Methodological Association (FUMO) in Higher Education for Major Groups of Specialties and Fields of Study 15.00.00 "Mechanical Engineering."

At the All-Russian round of the Strength of Materials Olympiad, participants competed in team and individual competitions. Based on the Olympiad's problems, the Polytechnic University team took third place in the team standings, only slightly behind teams from Bauman Moscow State Technical University and Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU). Among the SPbPU participants, Maya Varennikova, a third-year student at the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics at the PhysMechanics and Mechanics Institute, performed best and achieved the highest result—fourth place in the individual standings. Maya deservedly won the "Miss Olympiad" award.

Strength of materials has historically been considered one of the most challenging subjects in technical education due to the breadth of the discipline and the complexity of its teaching methods. Strength of materials (sopromat) studies methods for calculating the strength, rigidity, and stability of structural elements and machine components, and it integrates knowledge from various disciplines: mathematics, theoretical mechanics, continuum physics, and materials science. Therefore, it is safe to say that Polytechnic University students are among the best in strength of materials!

In addition to the competition tasks, the organizers prepared an engaging cultural program with a tour of Nizhny Novgorod, the NNGASU laboratories, and a lecture about V.G. Shukhov—his engineering genius as an inventor, architect, and scientist.

City services specialists have completed renovations on Novodevichy Embankment in the city center. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"This year, we plan to renovate a number of embankments, and we'll be grouting the granite facings on each of them. We've completed work on Novodevichy Embankment, where we grouted approximately 15,000 linear meters of joints and sandblasted over four thousand square meters of pavement," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Repairing cladding joints begins with cleaning the stone, then specialists begin the grouting process. The joints between the slabs are cleaned of old filler, washed, then filled with polymer-modified cement and grouted with a waterproof mortar.

Such measures are carried out on each embankment once every five years. They are necessary to ensure the safe operation of the structures, as over time the joint material deteriorates, which can lead to displacement and even the loss of granite slabs.

For city residents, such work takes place practically unnoticed, as the scaffolding is installed on the water side and then moved from site to site.
