The Polytechnic University continues to cooperate with the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU), providing methodological support and expertise to improve the efficiency and quality of KRSU's key processes in the field of engineering education.

The working meeting of representatives of SPbPU, KRSU and Geoscan Group of Companies, which was held at the Polytechnic University, was dedicated to the development of scientific potential and building long-term ties with industrial partners. KRSU was represented by Artem Belyaev, Director of the University's Technopark, and Andrey Gurinov, Chairman of the Association of Robotics, Mechatronics and Additive Technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic. Daniil Zolotnik, Deputy General Director for Education at Geoscan Moscow, took part in the conversation. The Polytechnic was represented by Sergey Salkutsan, Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education at the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" (PISH CI), Nikita Golovin, Head of the Slavic Universities Project Office, Deputy Head of the International Cooperation Department, and Alexander Gordeev, an engineer at PISH CI.

Sergey Salkutsan presented the experience of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" of SPbPU in implementing educational solutions aimed at training young engineers capable of working on applied problems in the interests of industry and technological development. The experts reviewed initiatives implemented jointly with the Academy of Digital Technologies, including career guidance projects and student participation in applied research.

The idea of creating a single educational circuit along the line "industry – university – college – school" was presented at the meeting. Its goal is to ensure the end-to-end transfer of knowledge and practical skills at all stages of training. The participants discussed possible formats for adapting this model in Kyrgyzstan on the basis of KRSU.

Andrey Gurinov spoke about the potential that cooperation with companies and educational institutions of the Kyrgyz Republic provides. The strategic development plan of the RIAT KR Association emphasizes providing international-level service with an emphasis on the regional needs of partners. The speaker noted that, given the positive demographic situation in the republic, human resources are, first of all, the driving force behind the development of the industry in the Kyrgyz Republic. Thus, cooperation in the field of education and targeted training of personnel is the key to success in long-term cooperation.

Representatives of KRSU and GC Geoscan got acquainted with the methodological and scientific-technical potential of the Digital Engineering PISH. The guests were shown the renovated premises of the High Voltage Technologies (HVT) building, which will be used as educational and production sites.

"We believe it is important to create and improve partnerships that develop engineering education and create conditions for the emergence of new qualified specialists. Such meetings are an opportunity not only to share experiences, but also to build long-term relationships with universities that share our values," said Daniil Zolotnik.

In addition, the guests learned about the activities of the engineering division of PISh CI – the Experimental Design Bureau, opened in October 2024. Alexander Gordeev spoke about the current tasks and projects of the design bureau, including the use of digital engineering and the CML-Bench® platform to solve problems in the field of unmanned aviation. The design bureau space is designed for the simultaneous work of 30 engineers, students and representatives of industrial partners.

Colleagues from KRSU highly appreciated the level of technical equipment and the students’ project activities.

"The cooperation between SPbPU, KRSU and the Geoscan company will allow us to attract schoolchildren and students to study modern technologies in the field of robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles. Holding UAV competitions will become an additional incentive and will open up new opportunities for involving schoolchildren of the Kyrgyz Republic in this promising area," emphasized Artem Belyaev.

At the end of the meeting, the participants discussed options for implementing trilateral cooperation between SPbPU, KRSU and Geoscan Group in the field of engineering education and technological development.

The 50th Anniversary Summer School for Young Programmers is being held at NSU

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Summer School for Young Programmers was organized in 1976 in Novosibirsk. For 50 years, the school has been gathering talented children interested in programming. This year, 66 schoolchildren were selected to work in teams on a project for two weeks. Scientific, production and educational workshops in 11 areas were organized for the children. Each workshop employs 4 to 8 schoolchildren. Classes are held in NSU classrooms under the guidance of experienced mentors, both doctors and candidates of science, employees of IT companies, and graduate students and students of the university.

The mentor of the workshop, which studies the Lisp programming language, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, associate professor Boris Leonidovich Faifel teaches information disciplines at the Saratov State Technical University named after Yu. A. Gagarin. Since 2011, he has been coming to Novosibirsk to share knowledge and work on a joint project with the participants of the summer school.

— Lisp is my old love. Thanks to this programming language I ended up in Novosibirsk, which makes me very happy. And every year it is the greatest pleasure for me to be here. The school has a wonderful team and wonderful guys, it is very pleasant to work with them. And I like that they already consider me one of their own here, although I came from far away.

Once I was in Yerevan, put on a T-shirt with the school logo and went for a walk. Suddenly a young guy and girl came up to me and said: "Are you from LSHU? We remember you!" It was very nice, now I keep this T-shirt as a relic. LSHU is a long-standing tradition, this year it is 50 years old, and I joined relatively recently, and for me it is a great honor to be part of this famous school, – said Boris Faifel.

For Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor of NSU Alexander Guryevich Marchuk, this is an anniversary school; he has been a scientific supervisor for young programmers for 25 years.

— We have some truly wonderful kids coming to us. In two weeks, we give them not only a large amount of knowledge, but also the main thing is that they want to learn something new themselves. The goal of our school is to attract more and more young talents. This year, we have had kids we have known and loved for a long time, and new ones who have interest in their eyes. We hope that next year there will be even more of them, — Alexander Marchuk shared his impressions.

Summer school participant Vera Lichman began studying programming in the third grade, now she has finished the seventh grade and entered the Physics and Mathematics School at NSU. In elementary school, the girl discovered the Scratch programming language, later Python and other languages. At the Physics and Mathematics School, the girl wants to study mathematics in depth in order to later enter NSU and become a research mathematician.

— This is my fourth summer school. I think that it will be, as always, very interesting and useful. What I especially like here is the atmosphere of mutual understanding, helping each other. The masters do not get angry if they have to repeat something a second, third, or even tenth time. This year I got into a workshop where we will learn to model various processes using Petri nets and moving chips between areas. I hope that I will gain a lot of useful knowledge, — Vera added.

The children will have overview and educational lectures, excursions, preparation of creative numbers, master classes and competitions on the problems of modern informatics and other scientific areas, because one of the goals of the LSHU is to develop erudition in schoolchildren. The final stage of the work is a scientific and practical conference and demonstration of completed works in workshops.

— I would like to note that we always choose workshop areas that are promising in scientific terms and interesting to our masters. Students in diverse workshops create a lot of worthy projects. For example, last year a boy who had just entered the fifth grade made the game "Sokoban" in the Logo programming language. Also last year there was a workshop on creating a model based on TRIZ, in the framework of another the guys wrote a compiler and a virtual machine. Back in 2001, when robotics for children in Russia was not yet known, our guys connected a LEGO robot to a computer through a device and "brought it to life". In 2004, a team of schoolchildren made a client-server development – a tic-tac-toe game on phones via satellite communication. We can talk for a long time about the developments of our guys, every year there are different and interesting projects, — said the head teacher-coordinator of the LSHUP, senior lecturer of the Programming Department, associate professor of the Department of Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU Tatiana Tikhonova.

The workshops have only recently begun working on the projects; they will be presented on the last Saturday of July, the 26th.

MEXICO CITY, July 18 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday criticized the U.S. decision not to open its border to Mexican cattle due to an outbreak of a parasitic disease caused by blowfly larvae, saying the measure lacks clear scientific basis and may be politically motivated.

The parasite was found in southern Mexico, more than 1,000 km from the northern cattle-raising states affected by the US restrictions, Sheinbaum said at a daily press conference, calling on Washington to clarify the health criteria justifying maintaining the ban.

"It seems to be more about politics. In some cases, it could be interpreted as a political attack on Mexico, but let's not forget that there are elections in the United States in a year," she said.

The president also criticized a number of American politicians for treating Mexico like a "piñata" during election campaigns and warned against exploiting bilateral issues for domestic political purposes.

K. Sheinbaum said that Mexican Agriculture Minister Julio Berdegué is in talks with his American counterpart Brooke Rollins to prevent further restrictions on cattle exports.

The president said the United States had agreed to invest $30 million to breed sterile flies, a key biological tool in the fight against the parasite, in Mexico. The facility is expected to be completed in less than a year. –0–

China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Condemns Israel's Military Strikes in Syria

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

UNITED NATIONS, July 18 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang on Thursday condemned Israeli military strikes in Syria at an emergency meeting of the Security Council and demanded their immediate end.

While the situation in southern Syria remains volatile, Israel has recently carried out multiple airstrikes in As-Suwayda, Daraa and Damascus. China unequivocally condemns Israel's actions, which seriously violate international law, infringe on Syria's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and pose new challenges to peace, stability and political transition in Syria, the diplomat said.

“We call on Israel to immediately stop military strikes on Syria and withdraw from Syrian territory as soon as possible,” he said.

The international community recognizes the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian territory. The sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Syria must be respected. The relevant Security Council resolutions must be implemented, and the 1974 disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria must be observed, the deputy permanent representative emphasized.

According to Geng Shuang, the ethnic tensions and subsequent violence in As-Suwayda have once again shown that the current situation in Syria remains complex and fragile. Achieving peace and stability still faces enormous challenges.

It is imperative to stabilize the security situation and restore public order as soon as possible. China has noted the reports that the Syrian interim authorities have reached a ceasefire agreement with the parties concerned. China calls on all parties to abide by the ceasefire agreement, remain calm and exercise restraint, stop hostilities, and promote early de-escalation of the situation, the diplomat said.

The Syrian interim authorities should continue to advance the participatory political process, address the concerns of all parties through inclusive dialogue, and effectively promote internal unity and reconciliation, Geng said.

The fight against terrorism is an important aspect of restoring peace and stability in Syria. The interim authorities of Syria must fulfill their anti-terrorist obligations and take effective measures to combat all terrorist groups included in the relevant list by the UN Security Council, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, he added.

At present, acute problems in the Middle East are emerging one after another, with new and old contradictions intertwined and overlapping. The situation is complex and unstable. Such a state of affairs does not serve the interests of any country in the Middle East or the international community, Geng Shuang said.

The Security Council, as the organ with the primary responsibility for international peace and security, should resolutely fulfill its responsibilities under the UN Charter and use all the tools at its disposal to end conflicts at an early date, restore peace and stability in relevant areas, and achieve lasting peace and stability in the entire region, the diplomat said, adding that China is willing to work with the international community to play a constructive role in this regard. -0-
