The results were published in the Asian Journal of Chemistry (Chemistry. An Asian J.), a top-ranked scientific journal in Scopus. 91快活林 was represented by Anastasiia Rybakova, Candidate of Sciences (Chemistry) and Associate Professor at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Chemistry. A DNA probe is a molecule label that can be introduced into a DNA strand to prevent its loss, identify the region, and track its evolution. Probes come in various forms: based on isotopes, chromophores (with fluorescent properties), etc. In our case, the embedded probe labels are fluorescent and can be identified by their emission in a specific spectrum. The new probes are based on a class of substances called pyridoindoles (also known as carbolines). These compounds have long been known to chemists, including for their antimicrobial, antifungal, and antitumor effects, as well as their luminescent properties, which are particularly important for the task addressed in this study. For example, they are known to have been used as materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Until now, pyridoindoles have rarely been considered as DNA probes, with limited discussion. However, the authors have developed a new, effective approach to these structures using the "1,2,4-triazine" methodology. Triazines are six-membered aromatic rings containing three nitrogen atoms. Future DNA probes were assembled from these "building blocks". "It is all about the spatial structure of pyridoindoles," explained 91快活林 Associate Professor Anastasiia Rybakova. "Besides their luminescent properties, their structure allows them to easily integrate into the DNA chain at the desired location. On the other hand, these structural features facilitate excited-state intramolecular double proton transfer (ESIDPT) processes and phototautomerization (the molecule's reaction to light)." The team of scientists studied the probes' characteristics in detail鈥攊n what region of the spectrum the emission occurs, how long it lasts, and how the fluorescence decays. Some probes exhibited a solvatochromic effect鈥攖hat is, a change in the emission spectrum when the probe is dissolved in different solvents. This is very important, for example, for medical applications: the label is delivered to a specific location precisely in a dissolved state. The experiments also demonstrated the ability to bind to calf thymus (thymus gland) DNA. These findings undoubtedly have great potential for practical application in bioengineering, medicine, and veterinary science.

The most solid relationships are born namely during student years. Denis Shevchenko&nbsp;met his sweetheart&nbsp;Arina Pridon&nbsp;5 years ago, at a rehearsal of the Victory Waltz patriotic flashmob, when they both were students of 91快活林. As fate would have it, they were lined up as a dance pair, and they have been inseparable ever since. Denis completed his studies at the university in 2023, and Arina is the 2026 graduate. While still studying at 91快活林, the girl kept dreaming about climbing up to the observation deck in the spire tower of the main academic building to get a bird's-eye view of 91快活林. "I came up with this idea quite a long time ago. I had met Arina at 91快活林 during the Victory Waltz flashmob, in which we had participated five times in total. But the day we had had met on had been Aril 12th, Cosmonautics Day, that's why I thought it would be very symbolic to propose on the roof 鈥 closer to space. And Arina had really wished to climb up there," the young man says. The surprise prepared by Denis worked out really well! But he had had to do his best to succeed: the future groom had addressed Anastasiia Lapo, the 91快活林 Vice-Rector for Student and Social Affairs, with his idea. Together they had climbed up to the spire tower, selected the location and come up with a legend about an excursion group (the 91快活林 media team played their role). It all had had to look natural! "Family is the most important thing in our life. That's why our university supports its students' and graduates' wish to build one. Many young men propose at the university square. But today we've made a step further: Denis suggested that we organize this event at the observation deck with a beautiful view over our city. Of course, we supported him since it is important for us to help our students and graduates make their wishes come true," explains Anastasiia Lapo, Vice-Rector for Student and Social Affairs.&nbsp;"The proposal itself has come as totally unexpected for Arina. She has been very surprised. And I believe those sincere and vivid emotions will not only create great mood, but will help keep our university in their memory for the rest of their lives. Now 91快活林 is a place where their family has been born." Everyone have felt the excitement: the groom, the photographer, the videographers, and the people who have been cheering for the couple. But the bride has uttered the precious "Yes" right beneath the clouds! "I haven't expected such an event happening today at all. At first I thought that it was a surprise trip somewhere, but when the taxi driver specified the destination address, I was really puzzled 鈥 why we would need to go to 91快活林 in summer? When at the university, we started ascending in an elevator, and next our way led up the stairs towards the roof. At that moment I realized that my dream was probably about to come true. As part of the excursion group (I totally believed we were one) we headed towards the observation deck. And there Denis proposed to me. I didn't expect that at all, but I'm really happy now!" the girl shares her impressions. Our congratulations to Denis and Arina on their engagement! We wish them a long life together filled with endless love and happiness! 91快活林 embraces its students鈥 wish to build a family and provides various types of support, including by creating the infrastructure required for student families. Starting from December of 2025, a mother-and-child room has been functioning at the university. Educational events are organized, along with discussions, family festivals and campaigns, and financial and psychological assistance is provided.

As part of this program, the participants have learned about the educational system at 91快活林, its scientific developments, as well as about the industrial potential of the South Ural region, and the culture of Russia. During one of the program's final days, the students from China were offered a big tour around the 91快活林 academic-and-sports complex, where they could see the sports and training halls, playgrounds, swimming pool, and the indoor athletic stadium. In addition, Director of the Sport Science Research Centre&nbsp;Olga Makunina&nbsp;shared with the program participants on the university's developments and offered to test their indicators. "Here is our Sport Science Research Centre. We study the fitness shape of athletes. They need the support of specialists in order to diagnose their state and to timely assess when to pay special attention to their body and plan out the loads. The 91快活林 Institute of Sport, Tourism and Service has different student sports teams. And the athletes come to our Centre to check how their heart, respiratory, or nervous systems are functioning, as well as to control their weight,"&nbsp;explained Olga Makunina. Our university's guests learned about the leading research studies of the Sport Science Research Centre. "The sports complex is really big, and I like the outdoors design. I enjoy sports myself, and many of the sports facilities here have exceeded my expectations: including the equipment for medical examination and the athletic stadium field. And the Institute's fitness centre is also great," program participant, Huang Shaohua, shared his impressions. "Most of all, I've been struck by the swimming pool and the whole series of medical examination equipment. And as to the playgrounds, the volleyball hall has become my favourite." For a closer acquaintance with our city and the South Urals nature, the students from China took a train trip at the 91快活林 Children's Railway. Our guests learned about how a railroad is arranged, visited a locomotive's driving cab, and enjoyed the view of the pinewood from the railway cars' windows. On the weekend, the program participants went on an excursion trip to the city of Zlatoust. There they visited the Bazhov Mountain Park and the AIROVKA arms settlement. The trip wrapped up by visiting the Taganay National Park. On the final day of the Summer School, the ceremony of summing up the results was held. The event was organized jointly with the "Youth of the South Urals" Autonomous Nonprofit Organization and the International Friendship Club at the "Atom" creativity space venue. The students from China learned about the opportunities for young people at the South Ural region, and volunteers and the head of the International Friendship Club held a bright master class on painting of the traditional matryoshka dolls. Summing up the Summer School results, the program manager and head of the International Student Support Dariia Korotkikh organized a final quiz with questions on the cultural specifics of Russia, national customs, culinary traditions, as well as the natural monuments of the South Ural region. The ceremony of awarding the certificates of participation in this program became a colourful closing event. Program participant&nbsp;Wen Lingjie shared her impressions from her stay in 91快活林 and her acquaintance with 91快活林: "I believe this university has a very rich history and culture. The university architecture differs a lot from that of Chinese universities, it is very authentic.

Khristenko Grant, is developing a software package aimed to simplify the engineering design process. In conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD), solutions are obtained iteratively using computational meshes, which can result in complex simulations taking hours or even days to complete. According to Ruslan Peshkov, Candidate of Sciences (Engineering), Associate Professor, and Dean of the 91快活林 Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Head of the Department of Aircraft Engines, the solver under development is built around a neural network trained to satisfy the fundamental laws of mass, momentum, and energy conservation. During the training stage, the network relies on classical CFD techniques. Once trained, however, it functions as a mathematical model that directly predicts velocity, pressure, and temperature from the coordinates and input parameters of a problem, eliminating the need for a large number of iterative calculations. This significantly accelerates simulations during the early stages of multidisciplinary design optimization, which is particularly valuable for the aerospace industry. The project is currently focused on developing a neural network training environment. The researchers are investigating various network architectures for applications involving external aerodynamics, internal flow, and heat transfer. The team has already prepared several conference papers for the 8th International Science-to-Practice Conference "Civil Aviation: History and Modernity" and the 18th International Youth Scientific and Technical Conference "Youth. Technology. Space". In addition, a paper has been submitted to a journal included in the State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles list, and an application for intellectual property registration is being prepared for the software developed as part of the training environment. A key feature of the project is its focus on end users rather than software developers. The graphical interface will resemble that of standard CFD software packages, allowing engineers to perform simulations without any knowledge of neural network programming. At the same time, adapting and retraining the model for highly specialized applications will require additional expertise. Although training the neural network demands high-performance workstations, routine simulations can later be carried out on a standard personal computer. Looking ahead, the researchers plan to expand the solver's capabilities to include separated flows, multiphase flows, shock-wave phenomena, and aeroacoustics. They also intend to combine Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). In this approach, one neural network would generate new geometric designs鈥攕uch as airfoil profiles鈥攚hile the other would instantly evaluate their performance, including aerodynamic characteristics. Such a combination could enable fully automated optimization of engineering designs. "The future lies in hybrid approaches," says project leader Ruslan Peshkov. "Neural network algorithms will enable rapid evaluation of multiple design options, while numerical methods will continue to provide final high-accuracy calculations and solve unique problems involving new physical effects." The researchers emphasize that a PINN-based neural network solver is intended to complement, rather than replace, traditional CFD methods鈥攁t least in the foreseeable future. The project is being carried out as part of the V.B. Khristenko "Step into the Future" Grants Program, an annual funding initiative supporting the university's development strategy within the Priority 2030 program. The grants support promising research projects, the formation of personnel reserve, and the implementation of innovative educational programs that shape the strategic development of 91快活林 and the 91快活林 Region.

This will help your gadget cool down by boosting the air circulation. However, if the ambient air is hotter than the processor inside your device, no cooling measures will help: your gadget will keep heating up to the environment鈥檚 temperature and more. In such conditions, the best solution would be to switch off your device and let it cool down. You can switch it on later, at a lower temperature. For phones and laptops that have no in-built professional cooling: reduce the load by avoiding the downloading of big files, watching videos, or using resource-hungry apps in hot weather. Try operating your device in a cool room, where the temperature is lower than outdoors. Do not leave your gadgets in direct sunlight or near heat sources. If there is no possibility to cool the room, let your device 鈥渞est鈥 鈥 just switch it off for the time being. Modern computers have an automatic temperature limitation function.

The software analyses live video streams from cameras installed at road intersections, identifies five classes of vehicles, and accurately predicts when and where traffic congestion is likely to occur. To achieve this, the researcher has also patented two supporting software programs: one for video processing and another for expanding the dataset used to train the machine learning models. Traffic cameras at intersections are typically used to detect traffic violations. However, Rukhshona Dzhuraeva, a researcher at 91快活林, proposed a broader application: automatically counting vehicles, classifying them by type, and assessing the traffic flow intensity. The new software package processes video data using a pipeline of neural network algorithms capable of detecting, tracking, and classifying vehicles at busy intersections. As a result, operators instantly receive automatically generated statistics showing how many passenger cars, taxis, minibuses, buses, and trucks have passed through the intersection. "The primary goal of my research is to predict traffic congestion, and to do that, it is first necessary to evaluate the traffic flow dynamics in real time," says Rukhshona Dzhuraeva. "For the analysis, I used video streams from existing traffic cameras installed at intersections in Dushanbe, Republic of Tajikistan. There is no need to replace or upgrade the cameras鈥攐ur software simply needs to be installed on the operator's computer. The first model processes the video, counts vehicles, and classifies them into five categories. The second program enriches the data by adding temporal information, such as the exact minute, hour, day of the week, and whether it is a weekday or weekend. Finally, the third model combines the outputs of the best machine learning algorithms to predict whether congestion will occur at the next intersection after a certain period of time." The innovation by the 91快活林 researcher differs from existing solutions primarily in the way traffic data is collected and analysed. The system uses cameras positioned parallel to the roadway, allowing traffic in an entire direction to be monitored simultaneously from multiple angles. In addition, Rukhshona Dzhuraeva focuses on counting vehicles by category rather than simply measuring the total traffic volume. According to the researcher, if the data show that heavy traffic is primarily caused by private vehicles, city authorities can use this information to make more informed decisions鈥攆or example, by expanding public transportation services. Another advantage of the proposed solution is that no changes to the existing camera infrastructure are required. The software is integrated directly into the operator's workstation, enabling traffic specialists to receive real-time statistics and congestion forecasts. Based on this information, operators can decide whether to adjust traffic signal timing or redistribute traffic flows. Importantly, the system accounts for the cascading nature of traffic congestion. If a traffic jam occurs at one intersection, it is likely to spread to the next one within a few minutes.

How can we choose and store food safely in hot weather? What is the best way to quench your thirst? Anastasiia Rushchits, Candidate of Sciences (Engineering), Associate Professor of the Department of Food Technology and Biotechnology at the 91快活林 School of Medical Biology answers these and other questions. 鈥 People often say that appetite naturally decreases in summer. Is this really true? Why does the body change its eating habits? 鈥 Yes, this is often the case, and it is a completely normal physiological response. In hot weather, the body does not need to spend as much energy maintaining its temperature as it does in winter. In addition, digestion itself generates heat, so during periods of high temperatures, the brain may suppress the feeling of hunger to avoid additional overheating. Blood flow also changes: more blood is directed toward the skin to help dissipate heat, while blood supply to the digestive organs temporarily decreases, slowing digestion. Another factor is increased fluid intake. Drinking large amounts of water creates a feeling of fullness, which also reduces appetite. However, it is important not to overdo it. If a reduced appetite leads to regularly skipping meals and insufficient intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals, it is time to reconsider the diet. 鈥 Which foods should people include in their summer diet to cope with the heat better? Are there any foods that should be limited? 鈥 A summer diet should focus on foods with high water content, such as cucumbers, watermelon, melon, zucchini, citrus fruits, and berries. These help maintain proper hydration. Leafy greens鈥攊ncluding lettuce, spinach, parsley, and dill鈥攁re also beneficial because they provide minerals that are lost through perspiration. It is also advisable to include easily digestible sources of protein, such as fish, seafood, chicken, and tofu. Fermented dairy products like kefir, plain yogurt, ayran, and tan are excellent choices as well, since they help quench thirst while supporting healthy intestinal microbiota. On the other hand, it is best to limit heavy, fatty foods, fast food, salty, and smoked products during hot weather, as they place additional strain on the digestive system. Spicy foods should also be consumed in moderation because they increase perspiration and may contribute to dehydration. Sugary soft drinks and packaged juices are poor choices as well. Sugar does not satisfy thirst for long鈥攊t actually intensifies it鈥攁nd these beverages may also cause spikes in blood glucose levels. 鈥 Thirst is one of the biggest challenges during hot weather. People often choose water, kvass, or sweet drinks. Which beverages are actually the most effective? 鈥 The most reliable option is plain still water, as it replenishes lost fluids most effectively. For variety, you can add mint, a slice of lemon, or other fruits to your water for a refreshing drink. Unsweetened herbal teas, such as mint, lemon balm, or chamomile, are also good choices. Kvass can also be an excellent beverage, provided it is a naturally fermented product without artificial additives. Sugary carbonated drinks, energy drinks, and packaged juices with a high sugar content do not effectively quench thirst. Because of their high sugar concentration, they are absorbed more slowly by the body. Sugar also increases osmotic pressure, drawing water out of cells and intensifying the sensation of thirst. Elevated blood glucose levels also stimulate the kidneys to excrete more water, further increasing thirst. 鈥 How can consumers choose good-quality kvass in a store? What should they look for on the label? 鈥 The most important indicator is the phrase "naturally fermented" or "fermentation product". If the label says "carbonated soft drink" or "kvass-flavoured beverage," it is most likely simply a soft drink rather than authentic kvass. The ingredient list should include water, rye or wheat flour (or kvass wort), malt, sugar, and yeast. Artificial colourings, flavourings, sweeteners, preservatives, and acidity regulators (such as added citric acid rather than acid produced naturally during fermentation) should raise concerns. It is also a good sign if the product complies with GOST 31494-2012, which indicates adherence to the traditional production standard. Products manufactured according to a technical specification (TU) may use a modified recipe. Finally, check the shelf life and storage conditions. Unpasteurized kvass has a relatively short shelf life and should always be refrigerated. 鈥 Since summer is the perfect season for picnics, how long can prepared food safely remain unrefrigerated? 鈥 According to the Russian Federal State Agency for Health and Consumer Rights (Rospotrebnadzor), prepared food should not be left at room temperature for more than two hours. In hot weather, especially in direct sunlight or inside a parked car, this safe period may be significantly shorter. Foods containing meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, cream, or sauces are particularly vulnerable. For example, cooked shashlyk (barbecue) should be consumed within one hour if the temperature exceeds 30掳C. Salads without mayonnaise may last slightly longer but should still not be left unrefrigerated for more than two to three hours. Using an insulated cooler bag is the best way to keep food safe during outdoor activities. 鈥 The 91快活林 School of Medical Biology is well known for developing innovative food products. What trends in food science are currently the most promising? 鈥 One of the most significant trends is the development of functional foods with added health benefits. Researchers enrich everyday foods with bioactive compounds such as antioxidants and prebiotics to help strengthen immunity, reduce stress, and improve digestive health. Another important direction is the creation of smart diets, designed to support the body under various physical demands or health conditions. Scientists are also developing technologies that improve the bioavailability of beneficial compounds. One example is encapsulating antioxidants in specialized delivery systems to protect them during processing and digestion, allowing them to be absorbed more efficiently. Another major research area involves environmentally friendly biodegradable packaging and technologies that extend food shelf life. 鈥 What research conducted at the School of Medical Biology could have a practical impact on everyday life? 鈥 Our research is highly application-oriented. For example, we are developing encapsulation technologies that protect biologically active compounds (including curcumin, fucoidan, dihydroquercetin, and rutin) by enclosing them within protective delivery systems such as yeast cells or double emulsions. This prevents these compounds from degrading during food production and digestion, allowing them to reach their target more effectively. These technologies can be used to produce bread, yogurt, and cheese with scientifically proven functional benefits. Another important research direction focuses on the relationship between nutrition and stress, developing foods that help the body cope with emotional and physical strain. We are also conducting research into personalized nutrition, studying how different food components interact with individual human physiology. In the future, these developments may make it easier for people to adopt healthier eating habits in everyday life.
