All-Russian Conference on Medical Law was held at orel state university named after i.s. turgenev

24.03.2025

On March 20, All-Russian Interdisciplinary Scientific and Practical Conference "Social and regulatory framework for the implementation of medical activities and the provision of medical services" was held at the Fundamental Library of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev. The event was organized by the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the Law Institute of OSU and the Non-Commercial Partnership "Medical Chamber of Orel Region". The main goal of the Conference is a scientific discussion of the clinical, organizational, financial and legal aspects of providing medical care in Russia, assessing its quality, legal protection of medical workers, as well as prospects for the development of legislation and law enforcement practice in this area.

The program covered a wide range of topics:
- The procedure for providing medical care, clinical guidelines and standards;
- The legal status of clinical guidelines;
- Protection of patients' personal data;
- The concept of medical error and its legal consequences;
- Insurance of professional liability of doctors (regional experience);
- Legal regulation of telemedicine and digital transformation of healthcare, etc.
Experts from Moscow, Smolensk, Lipetsk and Orel took part in the Conference.
Director of OSU Law Institute, Head of the Department of Municipal and Environmental Law, PhD in Law, Associate Professor Sergey Vasyukov emphasized that regulation of medical activities requires an integrated approach:
“Previously, civilistic aspects and contractual regulation were mainly discussed. However, practice shows that this cannot be enough. It is important to take into account public law regulation and liability issues. I am glad that representatives of practice are participating in the discussion today. I hope that the Conference will become traditional and will bring real benefits.”

Chairman of the Non-Commercial Partnership "Medical Chamber of Orel Region", Head of the Department of Pediatric Surgical Disciplines and Innovative Technologies in Pediatrics at OSU Medical Institute, Senator of the Russian Federation Vladimir Krugly noted that legal protection of medical workers is becoming a priority today. "Leonid Roshal considers this to be the main direction of his work, and we at the "Medical Chamber of Orel Region" adhere to the same position. Today's Conference is not the end, but the beginning of the journey. We need to build a clear and accessible system for protecting doctors in the region. There are many options: arbitration courts, mediation, pre-trial agreement offices - each tool works in its own way. Legislation is changing rapidly, and it is important that doctors - working in both public and private clinics - receive up-to-date information in a timely manner."

The Conference became an important discussion platform for specialists in the field of medicine and law. The organizers expressed hope that such meetings will be held regularly, helping to form an effective system for protecting the interests of doctors and patients.

 

Russian test cosmonaut Ivan Wagner spoke about the target operation of the Lazma apparatus

13.03.2025

Currently, the LAZMA target work is being carried out on board the International Space Station, where the Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics of orel State University, together with the Yu.A. Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center and the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is a co-investigator.

At the end of last year, test pilot Ivan Wagner already spoke about the progress of the experiment. In a new article, which was published on the educational platform gagarin.energia.ru, Wagner talks about new opportunities in studying peripheral blood flow and oxidative metabolism of biotissues using the LAZMA equipment.

Ivan Wagner: “Good afternoon, today I, ISS-72 flight engineer Ivan Wagner, will tell you about the LAZMA target work, which has been carried out on board the International Space Station since December 2021, using LAZMA PF analyzers developed by the Russian research and production enterprise LAZMA in cooperation with the Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev Orel State University.
Previously, doctors studied the mechanisms of human body adaptation to weightlessness on large arteries and veins of subjects, and in the LAZMA target work, data on blood microcirculation and oxidative metabolism of biotissues in capillaries were obtained for the first time.
To obtain information about blood flow and metabolism throughout the body, LAZMA PF analyzers are installed at different points of the body (on the head, fingertips, toes).
One subject and one assistant participate in the experiment. The assistant puts a special bandage on the head of the subject (A. Ovchinin) to attach the analyzers and places the analyzers symmetrically on the right and left in the forehead area. It is convenient that the analyzers transmit data via a wireless Bluetooth channel to the laptop via adapters.
Now we check that the devices are connected and start recording. During the measurements, the subject takes a motionless position and relaxes.
In the program, we see the following graphs. The red curve tells us about the intensity of blood flow and contains information about the speed and number of red blood cells in the capillaries. The blue graph is skin temperature, and the black one is data from the accelerometer, which records the movements of the subject. The columns on the right tell us about the intensity of metabolism.
In order to understand the dynamics of changes in blood microcirculation and metabolism in different parts of the human body, measurements are taken before the flight, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end, as well as on Earth after the astronauts return from the flight as part of the target work "LASMA". We are now in the middle of the flight, and we are taking measurements for the second time during the flight. After the session, we send the data we receive to Earth. Scientists process these records and tell us how our body reacts to weightlessness, that is, how it adapts to stressful (non-earthly) conditions."

 

Shrovetide event at the Faculty of Law

28.02.2025

The Law Institute once again hosted a Maslenitsa event (Shrovetide), which for several years has been gathering students from different years at one table.

On February 27, the Department of Theory and History of State and Law held an event called "Maslenitsa" for students of the Law Institute studying in the specialty of international and comparative law, as well as for invited students of the preparatory faculty of the University. It should be noted that this is one of those events that students are really looking forward to, because it has already become a good and beloved tradition. This event brings together not only students from different countries, but also from different levels of education. The event, as part of the pedagogical practice, was organized and held by master's students in the specialty "Pedagogical Education: Historical and Legal Education".

This year, the celebration was also special because the 2024 graduates of the International and Comparative Law major attended it not as students, but as invited guests. Among them was Jeffson Telson, who shared his impressions of the event: “Thank you for the invitation! I would like to express my deep gratitude for the wonderful Maslenitsa holiday, a traditional Russian holiday that always brings joy and peace. It is clear how much effort and soul the organizers of the Law Institute put into creating a real atmosphere of fun and joy for the students. Thank you for your work, care and wonderful emotions that you gave to the students.”

Not only foreign students, but also Russian-speaking students were able to feel the enthusiasm, joy and fun, because the competitions and dances that were prepared by the master's students were really very positive.

The Maslenitsa celebrations took place in an atmosphere of warmth and friendship, where everyone could feel like part of the large and friendly family of the Law Institute. Pancakes, a symbol of the sun and the coming spring, became a tasty treat for all participants. The event once again confirmed the importance of preserving traditions and strengthening ties between students of different nationalities and levels of education.

The last meeting of the Rector's Office in the outgoing year was held at Orel State University. It summed up the results of the educational, scientific, social and other areas of the University's activities, and outlined plans for the next year.

The meeting began with a minute of silence in memory of the University employees who passed away in 2024, including Rector Alexander Fedotov, Doctors of Science Egor Shchekotikhin, Gennady Verkeenko, Andrey Turkov.

Acting Rector Galina Zomiteva thanked the Rector's Corps for their fruitful work in a difficult period for the University and prompt resolution of emerging issues.

"This year, we have achieved very serious achievements in various fields of activity. Our students and teachers worked very actively. We began to master new disciplines and implement them in practice, in particular, "Service Learning". The University has become a host site for a large number of regional events," said Galina Mikhailovna.

Acting First Vice-Rector Andrey Pashin reported on the measures taken to improve the University's life safety. This task is especially relevant today in connection with recent events.

The Head of the scientific school of Orel State University Vyacheslav Golenkov focused on the construction of the inter-university campus and outlined its importance for the development of university science and the training of personnel in demand in the region.

"This is a center that should work, first of all, in the areas of industrial enterprises of Orel region and the central part of Russia. In 2025, our departments and research units will have to develop curricula, research projects for the effective operation of the campus in 2026. Such work has already begun, and an advanced engineering school is being created, aimed at enterprises in our region," Vyacheslav Alexandrovich noted.

The topic of campus construction was continued by the Director of the Department of Administrative and Economic Policy and Infrastructure Development Denis Danilevich:

"As part of the campus construction, a Project Management Center was created, whose tasks, among other things, will include interaction with industrial partners. Six agreements have already been signed with enterprises that are ready to enter the campus territory with their projects in order to train personnel for themselves and develop the industry of Orel Region," he noted.

The University has also achieved significant success in the scientific direction. The most important ones were discussed by Acting Vice-Rector for Research and Project-Innovative Activities Larisa Borisoglebskaya and Acting Vice-Rector for Research and Technological Activities and Certification of Research Personnel Sergey Radchenko.

Among the scientific achievements of Orel State University: the launch of the second "mega-grant" under the leadership of the leading scientist from University College London Andrey Abramov, the opening of youth laboratories, the creation of the first dissertation council in Russia on intelligent transport systems, the successful implementation of the MedBioTech acceleration program, etc. More information about the scientific results can be found in this material.

The University staff has achieved no less high results in educational activities. Acting Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Elena Alekseeva spoke about this in detail.

"The outgoing year pleased us with the admission figures. More than five and a half thousand applicants became students of the University - representatives of 20 regions of Russia and 37 countries of the world. Among those admitted to us, there are those who scored 100 and multi-point scores on the Unified State Exam, winners and prize-winners of Olympiads from the list of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia," Elena Nikolaevna shared.

In addition, Gymnasium No. 1 of Orel State University has been included in the TOP-25 best schools in Russia for the second year in a row according to the results of the All-Russian competition "Big Change".

Acting Vice-Rector for Academic and Methodological Activities Natalia Laushkina noted the success of the University students in their studies. The students participate in a wide range of All-Russian competitions and Olympiads in various areas of training and achieve high results.

Natalia Semenovna said that this year the University significantly expanded the list of partner enterprises within the framework of practical training of students:

"At the moment, we have more than 2,500 contracts, of which 800 are long-term contracts, and we are not going to stop, because we are adding specialties, their range is expanding, accordingly, we need to attract other organizations. What is encouraging is that enterprises from the real sector of the economy themselves contact us, contact us in order to work together."

One of the main educational trends of this year and for the near future is attracting foreign applicants. Svetlana Aronova, Director of the Department of International Relations, spoke about how this situation developed at Orel State University. For example, the University became the only one in the region and one of six in the Central Federal District whose students were selected to participate in the World Youth Festival. One of them, Jeffson Telson, became the author of the best question asked to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov.

In addition, the University entered the TOP-10 universities in Russia in terms of the share of foreign students in the student body. Cooperation agreements have been signed with new countries for us, such as, for example, Malaysia and Ethiopia. And Serbia and Hungary have opened enrollment for scholarship programs, including for Russian citizens.

Acting Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Social and Educational Activities Elena Senko spoke about the successes and achievements of the University in the educational sphere and the victories of our students.

“The main task of the University is to prepare a highly qualified specialist, but no less important is the task of creating conditions for the comprehensive, harmonious development of the individual, for the self-realization of our students. And we can proudly say that these conditions have been created at the university - this is a developed infrastructure that allows students to engage in creativity, sports, volunteering and other areas of activity, of which there are very, very many,” noted Elena Vitalievna.

In her report, Elena Senko emphasized what a huge job the Volunteer Resource Center of Orel State University has done: 1,400 volunteers took an active part in helping people, primarily participants in a special military operation. Students and teachers have woven more than two thousand square meters of camouflage nets, are making candles, and collecting humanitarian aid. The University has opened two temporary accommodation centres for residents who were forced to leave the Kursk region.

Students and teachers of the University have achieved great results by participating in the "Your Move" project. Thanks to this, in the index of the effectiveness of educational activities of the project, OSU took 34th place among 713 universities in Russia.

12 students of our University receive a scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation, two of them - in an especially large amount; 39 students are holders of the scholarship of the Government of the Russian Federation, 150 - scholarships of the Governor of Orel Region; and also 150 students receive an increased state academic scholarship for achievements in various areas of activity.

Elena Vitalievna paid special attention to the sports successes of students: the University's women's mini-football team has again become the strongest in Russia, the basketball teams successfully perform in the ASB Higher Division, and the football team shows itself well in NSFL matches.

New Year's Turgenev Ball

 

24.12.2024

The traditional New Year's Turgenev Ball was held at Orel State University. The University students, gymnasium students and simply lovers of historical dances of different ages gathered again in the assembly hall of building No. 11.

The ball annually attracts a large number of participants who thoroughly prepare for it under the sensitive guidance of the organizers - representatives of the historical dance studio "Dynasty". For a month, couples learn complex dance patterns, choose costumes and masks and get in the mood.

The event was opened by Acting Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Social and Educational Work Elena Senko. In 2010, Elena Vitalievna supported the idea of organizing the ball and helped to bring it to life.

"I am very pleased that from year to year we hold it, and the number of people interested in this most beautiful event does not decrease, but increases. It permeates several generations of participants - not only students, but also graduates who take part in it every year.

I congratulate you on the upcoming New Year, on this magical holiday! I wish you success in your work and I want you to always remain so beautiful, interested in getting together and giving each other beautiful things,” noted Elena Vitalievna.

The Turgenev Ball included two sections, during which couples danced twenty dances: Parisian waltz, polonaise, cotillion, polka ‘Serpentine’, counter-dance ‘Squirrel Hunt’ and many others.

 

"I have been doing folk dancing for quite a long time and I decided to take part in the historical ball as well. I found it a very interesting opportunity to prove myself. The classes lasted a decent amount of time, we studied for about a month, learnt different dances, combinations, tried ourselves. We had great teachers, we had a very friendly atmosphere at the classes. The event itself is amazing, I love it. I would very much like to take part in it next year," said Elizaveta Demidova, a first-year student of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology.

Orel state University named after I.S. Turgenev presented scientific developments at the XIV International Forum "Arctic: Present and Future"

19.12.2024

On 12 and 13 December, the XIV International Forum ‘Arctic: Present and Future’ named after A.N. Chilingarov was held in St. Petersburg. The event was attended by more than 2000 experts from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. Orel State University was represented by Larisa Borisoglebskaya, Acting Vice-Rector for Research and Project and Innovation Activities.

The Forum, organised by the Association of Polar Explorers with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation and relevant agencies, has become a key platform for discussing topical issues on the Arctic agenda. The main topic of discussion this year was ‘Human-centredness as a priority in the development of the Arctic zone’.

The programme included more than 45 events with over 400 speakers. Among them were Alexei Chekunkov, Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, Alexander Moiseyev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, as well as representatives of business, science, education and public organisations. The Forum programme was structured in such a way that the participants had the opportunity to get answers to their questions and make proposals on fundamental issues of modern Arctic development at each discussion platform.

At the working session ‘Bottlenecks: How the power industry can keep up with the development of the Arctic’, Larisa Borisoglebskaya made a presentation on ‘Relevance of implementing predictive analytics systems for power generating facilities in the Arctic and the Far North: approaches and practical implementation’. She stressed that power plants of the Arctic regions are potential objects for implementation of methods of predictive analysis of serviceability and assessment of residual life of critical units of technical equipment based on actual operating conditions.

Larisa Nikolaevna also presented the results of research and development of the team of scientists of the IEC ‘Intellectual Technologies of Diagnostics and Monitoring of Power Generating Equipment’ of Orel State University under the leadership of Professor Roman Polyakov.

  

As Larisa Borisoglebskaya noted, the report aroused great interest among representatives of business structures, first of all, because the presented results have a high degree of readiness - UGT from 4 to 5, i.e. basic software products have been created, methods have been worked out and individual samples of hardware and software complexes have been developed, ready for implementation in practice. Potential objects of implementation of such systems can be any power generating stations operating in the Arctic and Far North.

The participants of the summit highly appreciated the potential of OSU scientists of  and suggested ways of further cooperation with the Centre for Arctic Research, the Arctic Academy of Sciences and other organisations-drivers of development of the Arctic and Far North regions.

‘Happy Diwali’
OREL STATE UNIVERSITY hosted a traditional evening of Indian culture

02.11.2024

It was dedicated to Diwali: Festival of Lights, a major Indian and Hindu holiday. Its main elements are luminous lanterns, lights and lit candles symbolising the victory of good over evil. The festival was organised by Medical Institute of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev

"Diwali is a festival of fire, light and goodness, in many ways similar to the Russian New Year. There are 800 students from India studying at the Medical Institute now, and for the tenth year in a row we have been creating such a holiday for all our students.The key moment is a colorful concert of Indian art, but before it starts, everyone can enjoy various Indian traditions: see the traditional Rambuli ornament of the Indians, which is painted in front of the house and the exhibition "The diversity of Indian culture and life", visit a corner where beautiful Indian women will help you try on your favorite sari, as well as the most popular - henna painting on the skin Mehendi. This year's innovation is a master class in Indian dance, which is being held right now by Raghav Sharma, a fourth-year student - the leader of the students from India, and third-year student Honey Sharma. I wish you a happy Diwali, peace to all our homes and families. Let the friendship of nations always be a priority!’, - said Paitsar Danielyan, festival organiser, responsible for working with foreign students of Orel State University Medical Institute.

The culmination of the evening was the concert program. It started with the important tradition of lighting the Diwali fire. The guests of honor - Acting First Vice-Rector Andrey Pashin, Director of the International Relations Department of Orel State University Svetlana Aronova, Head of Orel Branch of the Assembly of the Peoples of Russia Galina Glazova, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Medical Institute Lyudmila Kachmarskaya, Head of Student Dormitories Ivan Silkin and Commandant of Dormitory No. 3 Natalya Shoshina symbolically lit candles and were marked with the famous Indian bindi - a colored dot that Hindu women draw in the center of their foreheads, the so-called "third eye".

"Wishing you a good time tonight and cheering everyone on loud and loud. This event is great because we Russians will learn much more about India, gain respect and a deeper understanding of Indian culture. And you will understand us Russians more. Let's build good, kind, friendly relations between our countries with great traditions and colourful cultures”,Andrey Pashin wished the audience.

The spectacular concert combined energetic hip-hop with Indian songs, traditional dances and songs of India, modern pop compositions in Indian language, as well as a fascinating dance duet of a Russian woman and an Indian man. The audience actively supported the performers, sang along with them as if with karaoke, lit up flashlights on their phones to lyrical songs, shouted festive lines and the unchanging "Happy Diwali" after each number.

"India is one of our largest diasporas. When the sun begins to set in Russia, India gives a small piece of light, lighting it in its own hearts and in the hearts of all those involved in the holiday. I wish you that the light we light every year never goes out, ‘ Svetlana Aronova said from the stage.

The performances ended with a powerful mass dance and ceremonial speeches by Indians – representatives of companies that are involved in attracting Indian students to study at Orel state University.

 

BRICS Universities Ranking 

 

The Association of Ranking Compilers (ARC) has prepared the first pilot version of the BRICS universities ranking. The idea of the ranking was proposed in 2023 by representatives of South Africa, and in the same year it was enshrined in the declaration following the meeting of BRICS education ministers. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously approved the idea of preparing BRICS university ranking based on the “Three University Missions” family of rankings developed by the Russian Rectors’ Union since 2012. This initiative was put forward on February 8 at the meeting of the Presidential Council for Science and Education by Viktor Sadovnichy, President of the Russian Rectors’ Union and Rector of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The final list included 600 educational institutions from ten Commonwealth countries: Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and South Africa. The leaders of the BRICS universities ranking were Peking University (1st place), Lomonosov Moscow State University (2nd place) and Tsinghua University (3rd place). The largest number of universities in the ranking — 207 — are located in China. The second country by number of participants in the ranking was Russia (161 universities), third place in this parameter was taken by India (93 universities). Next comes Brazil (55 universities) — the BRICS country with the highest concentration of strong universities outside Eurasia. Iran is represented in the ranking by 27 universities, all other participating countries have less than 20 universities in the final list.

The top hundred of the ranking included 24 universities from Russia. The highest positions, in addition to Moscow State University, were taken by Saint Petersburg State University (5th place), Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (6th place), National Research University Higher School of Economics (10th place) and National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (15th place).

Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev entered the group of world universities with the position 401+. The strongest side of Russian universities is the quality of education, which is also typical for our University. The entry of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev into the ranking of universities of the BRICS countries with such positions is another result of the recognition of the University's work at the global level.

orel state university Tour League successfully completed a scientific and educational expedition to the Kola Peninsula

 

13.08.2024

From 27 July to 5 August the team of OSU Tourist League traditionally carried out the annual expedition to the heart of the Khibiny Mountains.

Every summer the Tourist League together with the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports of Orel State University organises hiking trips to different corners of our vast country from the Crimea to the Caucasus. One of such corners is the Khibiny mountain tundras on the Kola Peninsula. These are very old mountains, their age is more than 300 million years.

‘It was the first time we participated in this kind of activity, so ten days in tents seemed unusual, but the company was great. We overcame ourselves, learnt to think ahead, bathed in a mountain stream and slept on rocks, and also observed incredible beauty. Most memorable was conquering one of the highest peaks. Physically it was difficult, but when you reach the top, stand on the very edge and watch the scenery, you realise - it was not in vain. We would go again, because ten days were not enough to learn all the secrets and beauty’ - said Maxim Korotkov and Tatiana Koshcheeva, a student of the Institute of Instrumentation, Automation and Information Technology of OSU and a student of the Faculty of Art and Graphic Arts of our University.

This year the expedition team consisted of 45 people of different ages and cities of Russia, including students and graduates of Orel State University. Within 10 days, the travellers successfully made a trip beyond the Arctic Circle, to the Kola Peninsula in the Khibiny Mountains!

‘My husband and I love travelling, but it was the first time we went on such a serious camping trip. The experience of small trips helped, as we already had the skills of cooking over a fire, sleeping in a tent and so on, but during the excursion no one was left without attention and even beginners adapted quickly. Physical endurance increased and a strong social circle was formed. We had a lot of bonding activities, from daily campfire meetings to rafting across the river. We even played real KVN game, where we divided into teams and performed humorous skits. Of course we were engaged in scientific activity - we found different mineral rocks. Next year we plan to go on an expedition to Arkhyz or conquer the Elbrus region with the Tour League’ - shared Anastasia Evdokimova, a graduate of Orel State University and a participant of the expedition.

Each expedition includes an updated route – after all, the global goal is to mark safe trails for tourists, for example, throughout the Kola Peninsula. During the expedition, we managed to survive various weather conditions, fully experience the nature of the Khibiny Mountains, the romance of hiking conditions, and even get to the period of white nights in the north.

‘We have been visiting the Kola Peninsula since 2013, we have found a lot of interesting artefacts and evidence. It is a mystical place, along with Tibet and the Pyramids of Egypt. This year, when we took a new route to Akademicheskoye Lake, we saw how rain and clouds really form. In the process of rain a sun funnel was formed in the sky, from which a ray of light was coming, despite the fact that the rest of the sky was covered with clouds. We brought a lot of stones and minerals, which were traditionally handed over to the Department of Chemistry for spectral analysis and further joint study. We had even more than we needed. The second task was to mark safe trails, both in the field and in electronic navigators, so that the route could be visited by anyone, even without the participation of professional tourists and guides. The most important thing, of course, is that the guys learnt to live in tents, to climb ropes, to cook food over a fire, to live in camping mode, to master the skills of mountaineering and physical training. In 10 days we became ready for more serious expeditions. Nobody got sick or had conflicts, we lived as a big family. Now we are preparing to leave for Arkhyz, then to Prielbrusie. Then we hope to make a regular ascent to Elbrus’ - said Stanislav Makhov, head of the Tourist League, lecturer of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Physical Education and Sports at Orel State University.

The research potential of the League's expeditions is high and attracts both professionals and amateurs.

‘We are looking for stones for the second year, for me studying them is a hobby. At first I just asked to bring them back, last year I travelled there myself. In the Khibiny massif the most common minerals are astrophyllite or otherwise Khibiny gold, eudialyte, aegirine with green casts, orthoclase of white colour. Very rarely there are stones made of one mineral, mostly they contain several minerals. Habinite is common - a mineral of greenish colour with black inclusions. In the final version we make souvenirs out of them and also study them together with the Department of Chemistry’ - said Tatyana Rtischeva, Deputy Director  for Information Technologies of the University Scientific Library.

Having united people of different ages, cities and worldviews, the expedition made it possible to realise all the planned goals: to build new safe routes in the Khibiny Mountains, to study minerals and nature, to teach travellers the basics of mountaineering and mountain tourism. Experienced TourLiga instructors, former travellers and beginners became a friendly team in 10 days.

‘The participants showed themselves perfectly, became more confident in the process of the classes. We implemented an updated route, which became more interesting and touched the Academic Lake. We continued marking trails, found many springs with drinking water. In a few days we are heading to Arkhyz - a more southern, colourful, flowery mountain section.

Round table “French argotology in Russia”

07.06.2024

On June 5, the Department of Romance Philology of the Institute of Foreign Languages organized a round table “French argotology in Russia”, dedicated to the 5th anniversary of the International Research Laboratory “Problems of Social and Territorial Heterogeneity”.

The event united sociolinguists of different generations: teachers, postgraduates, dissertation researchers who are preparing to defend their theses, and students making their first steps on the path of studying youth and professional argot at the Boiling Point venue of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev.

The speakers brilliantly presented the results of their scientific research and interested the audience with dictionaries of substandard units that clearly mark the speech of French people of different social strata: policemen, farmers, couturiers, artists, perfumers and others. The jury had difficulties in choosing the best presentations, as the scientific component of all the presentations was more than worthy. However, having consulted, the teachers awarded prizes - ‘Dictionary of Argo of French Students’ by Tatiana Retinskaya - to Maria Zarubina, a student of group 13LNG, for a complex analysis of the stylistically reduced vocabulary of the novel Kiffe kiffe demain by Faiza Gene, and to Evgenia Molchanova, a student of group 13PGOi, for her report on the argot of French bakers and confectioners, accompanied by an interactive quiz, which allowed to familiarise the audience with the elements of this professional argot in a playful way.

 

The students who took part in the anniversary meeting of the laboratory mastered the methodology of systematic description of French argotisms, which can be applied both to the characterisation of a separate sublanguage and to the comparative analysis of several social variants of the national language; they learned to inventory linguistic material and analyse argotic units in the fabric of a work of fiction. Special attention was paid to the characterisation of the convergent approach to the choice of research directions, which contributes to the identification of universal and specific features of the functioning of elements of argotic vocabularies.

This meeting of the scientific community was also an excellent occasion to sum up the work of the International Research Laboratory “Problems of Social and Territorial Heterogeneity”.

The Faculty of Training for Foreign Students held the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture

31.05.2024

“And there were words of wondrous beginning...”

A project with the same name, dedicated to the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, was implemented at the Faculty of Training for Foreign Students by teachers of the Department of Russian as a Foreign Language and Intercultural Communication Larisa Aleshina and Tatyana Shadrina, as well as students of groups 8 and 9 of the Preparatory Department.

The first event “History of the Russian alphabet” (round table) took place on May 18. The students learned the history of the holiday, became acquainted with the life, scientific and educational feats of the brothers Cyril and Methodius.

On May 21, a master class “Learning to write in Cyrillic” was held. Listeners continued their acquaintance with the history of the development of writing and the stages of its formation (subject, pictographic, hieroglyphic, syllabic, alphabetical). We compared the first Slavic alphabets with the modern Russian alphabet and learned to write using the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet. A drawing competition was held in two categories: “Disappeared letters of the Russian alphabet”; “The most beautiful letters in ancient books”, and the winners have been announced.

The final event of the project took place on May 25. The students enjoyed the atmosphere of linguistic games and competitions: they solved puzzles, charades, riddles, crosswords, played word lotto, etc.

 

New publication in the journal Q1 from the research and development Center of Biomedical Photonics and foreign colleagues

30.05.2024

The team of the Cellular Physiology and Pathology Laboratory of the Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics of OSU named after I.S. Turgenev (A.Yu. Vinokurov, M.Yu. Pogonyalova, A.Yu. Abramov) together with colleagues from University College London (Plamena Angelova) and Miticholine Ltd company (Larisa Andreeva) published an article "Energy substrate supplementation increases ATP levels and is protective to PD neurons" in the journal Current Research in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery (Q1, IF 3.97).

The pathology of Parkinson's disease is very complex and involves many cellular and molecular factors, such as oxidative stress, calcium signaling, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Any change in the bioenergetics of mitochondria affects the function of brain cells, which opens up prospects for regulating the metabolism of astrocytes and neurons using physiologically active substances.

The published work showed that mitochondrial substrates: pyruvate, succinate, choline, choline succinate and nicotinamide, as well as combinations of these compounds, increase mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial NADH accumulation and ATP levels. In this case, the combination of succinate salt, choline and nicotinamide turned out to be the most effective. The compounds that were most effective at increasing ATP levels also further protected familial Parkinson's disease cells from glutamate excitotoxicity.

We congratulate the authors on their publication and wish them further success in their research!

On April 16, the regional stage of the All-Russian Drone Piloting Championship "Pilots of the Future" was held at Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev.

"Pilots of the Future" is a large-scale project of the Movement of the First organisation. It is aimed at developing in-demand drone control skills among young people, as well as gaining knowledge about the use and improvement of unmanned aircraft systems.

The regional stage of the Championship is held across the country from April 8 to 28. In Orel region, the co-organizers of the regional stage were Orel State University and the Federation of Drone Racing of Orel region.

As part of the opening ceremony of the regional stage, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Russian Movement of Children and Youth "Movement of the First" and the Russian Drone Racing Federation.

The competition was attended by 22 teams from 12 municipalities of the region. Each team consisted of 4 people: 2 pilots, 1 engineer-technician and 1 mentor. The regional stage of the Championship was held in two disciplines: drone racing simulator and testing. While the pilots of the teams were speeding through a specially designed course, the engineers and technicians were testing their knowledge of the UAV device.

Nail Sharifov, Acting Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering at Orel State University and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Automated Control Systems and Cybernetics, acted as the main judge of the regional stage.

In addition to the competitions, schoolchildren also took part in a master class of the University students in the control of real drones in the flight cube and visited the scientific laboratories of the Scientific and Technical Center of Biomedical Photonics, the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering and the Department of Automated Control Systems and Cybernetics.

One of the main events of the regional stage of the Championship was the round table "Development of small unmanned aviation in Orel region". The discussion was attended by Alexander Fedotov, Rector of Orel State University, Irina Patronova, Head of the Department of Education of Orel region, Anton Gomozov, Council Chairman of the Movement of the First regional branch in Orel Region, and his deputy Denis Orlov, Andrey Katunin, Director of the Mtsensk branch of Orel State University, Viktor Lantsev, Head of the children's Technopark "Quantorium", and other guests.

The round table participants shared their experience in the use of unmanned aircraft and the development of this particularly relevant area today, and also discussed support measures for the popularization of UAVs among young people in the context of the new national project “Unmanned Aircraft Systems”.

“The University has been working on the topic of unmanned aerial vehicles since 2019. It came naturally because it was interesting and modern. It is interesting for both our teachers and students. It so happens that we already have some success in this area. We periodically declare ourselves at the federal level, including taking first places in team competitions.

The University is investing a lot of effort in the development of unmanned aviation in the region, because we understand that this is very important now, including in order to interest our students and motivate them to stay in their native region,” noted Alexander Fedotov.

At the closing of the regional stage, all teams were awarded certificates of participation, and the names of the winners were announced.

“First of all, I want to thank everyone for taking the time and taking part in our Championship. Secondly, we are happy to demonstrate that within the walls of our University there are all conditions for practicing drones, and if you want to develop in this direction, then be sure to come to us. Today we saw a lot of sparkling eyes from guys who are really interested in this and who already have experience working with UAVs. I wish them not to give up this business and develop, because not only aircraft, but ground and watercraft are unmanned. If you want to connect your life with this sphere, we will help you to implement it,” noted Nail Sharifov

Based on the results of the regional stage, the prizes were distributed as follows:

1st place – team “Vinty”(Screws) (Orel),

current results of the space experiment by scientists from OSU named after I. S. Turgenev are published on federal media resources

19.03.2024

The LASMA space experiment has been conducted aboard the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) since December 2021 (it will continue until 2025). Orel State University acts as one of the co-producers of this targeted work on board the ISS.

The experiment is devoted to the study of blood microcirculation and fluorescence of biotissues in microgravity conditions. The current results were published in the journal Aerospace and Environmental Medicine. The scientists' study was also published in TASS.

The paper presents for the first time the results of the study of blood microcirculation in weightlessness conditions, obtained using portable laser analyzers "LAZMA-PF" with the participation of pilot-cosmonaut, hero of Russia Alexander Misurkin and space tourists Yusaku Maezawa and Yozo Hirano during the expedition visit EP-20.

During the first 2-3 days in weightlessness, the astronaut experienced redistribution of blood to the upper part of the body, after which the mechanisms of blood flow regulation were activated, and on the 6th day of flight the blood microcirculation system returned to normal. In the second cosmonaut (space tourist), who used special leg bands, which do not allow the fluid to leave the lower part of the body, such an effect was not observed, and in the first few days of flight, the work of the endothelial layer of blood vessels was activated.

In general, in the process of reorganization of the blood microcirculation system under microgravity conditions, the most pronounced changes in the parameters occurred in the temporal region of the head and in the region of the lower extremities on the 2nd and 3rd days of flight and were characterized by a significant decrease in tissue perfusion, increased vascular tone with a gradual recovery of preflight values by the 6th day of space flight (SF).

Thus, for the first time a method of registration of blood microcirculation parameters and oxidative metabolism in weightlessness using portable analyzers was developed and successfully tested. Thus, our scientists managed to send on board the international space station the newest domestic devices "LAZMA PF" for recording the functional state of peripheral vessels and tissue metabolism, where with their help cosmonauts assess the adaptation of the organism to the conditions of space flight, conducting measurements on the skin of temples, hands and feet.

Currently, the experiment on board the ISS continues with participants of the 70th long-term expedition - Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub and Alexander Grebenkin.

02.02.2024

On January 31, the Law Institute of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev held an open door day for international students who are currently studying Russian at the Preparatory Faculty. Now they are facing a very important question - what to choose among the wide range of specialties and profiles of study offered at our University.

Professor Sergey Vasyukov, Acting Director of the Law Institute, made a welcoming speech to the guests of the event. Albina Agaeva, Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, curator of the profile "International Law and Comparative Law", told about the peculiarities of education of foreign citizens at the Law Institute.

And, of course, a memorable moment was the conversation with those students who not in words, but in fact know the many intricacies of the daily student life of the Law Institute, familiar with the conditions of study, teachers, successfully showed that neither another language nor another country will not be an obstacle for those who have made a very important decision for themselves - to become a real specialist. Telson Jeffson, Archebamen Sharon Ayomikun, Santa Victoria Sentyler, Limontas Erby Allen shared their impressions about studying at the Law Institute. The guys happily recalled joint trips, events and exam period.

"Law Institute has become one of the places very dear to my heart. I am very grateful to my parents that once they let me go to study in Russia and I found myself among such nice people. It is a pity that this is my last year in these walls. However, there will be a lot of pleasant memories", - told the audience the 4th year student Jeffson Tolson.

A tour of the criminology room, the first experiences in taking fingerprints, creating an identikit and other subtleties of the legal profession were presented to future lawyers by the head of the department of criminal procedure and prosecutorial supervision, Yulia Bystrova.

Then the acquaintance with the Law Institute continued in the courtroom and ended with a visit to the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, where they were welcomed by the Head of the Department Dmitry Aronov. The department is a graduating department in the direction of "International Law and Comparative Jurisprudence": for several years foreign students here have been successfully mastering the study of jurisprudence with a special emphasis on the study of public international law and those academic disciplines that will help future lawyers to become true specialists in the field of relations of our countries, which are now moving to the construction of a new world, free from political dictates.

The meeting ended in the spirit of Russian hospitality: the participants drank fragrant tea from a samovar with ring-shaped cracknel, sweets and pancakes.

Days of OSU named after I. S. Turgenev at the International RUSSIA EXPO

On January 24-25, Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev presents its exposition in the pavilion of  Orel region at the International RUSSIA EXPO as part of the “Decade of Education and Science”. University teachers and students prepared many interesting and educational activities for visitors of the exhibition.
Anyone can test their knowledge in the field of financial literacy using a quest in the “YourFinGuide” mobile application, developed as part of the strategic project “Orel is a Literary Capital”.
“Our application does not collect any personal data and at the same time makes it possible to complete quests and quizzes in an interactive format - linked to geotags and geoposition,” said Irina Maslova, Acting Director of the Institute of Economics and Management, Deputy General Director of the Association for the Development of Financial Literacy.

This location turned out to be popular among different generations of people. Especially for older guests of the exhibition, for whom it is very important to improve their knowledge in the field of financial literacy and security, so as not to fall for scammers in the future.
Another useful part of the University exhibition was the “Professional Kaleidoscope”, thanks to which visitors get acquainted with medical professions and first aid skills using simulators. It is represented by OSU Medical Institute, headed by director Irina Snimshchikova, responsible for educational and career guidance work, Liliya Koroleva and students.
“We talk about our most interesting simulators so that young visitors can try themselves in the role of future doctors: perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, help a person if he is choking, and also show how dentists actually work so that they are not afraid of them. And, of course, we teach first aid for common injuries and abrasions,” shared Polina Potselueva, a student of the Medical Institute.

 

The University demonstrates the cultural wealth of Orel region at the master classes “Making a souvenir based on the patterns of the Orel Spis embroidery" and “ “Bird” and “Bunny on the finger” folk finger puppets. Visitors paint blank souvenirs and make dolls from templates.
“At our table, with the help of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology student, Margarita Korobetskaya, guests are making a talisman - a textile bell doll from blanks that we made in advance. At the same time, adults rejoice like children and hang it around their necks.
In addition, here you can get acquainted with the literary heritage of Orel region - make postcards with your own hands, placing on them small portraits of Orel writers and their quotes (which still need to be correctly correlated). You can also decorate the postcard with symbols of Orel region, for example, a picture with Orel Spis embroidery. Guests can decorate keychains with the same pattern as a souvenir,” said Elena Alekseenko, Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Primary General Education at the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology.

When talking about the University, one cannot fail to mention its scientific activities. Young and adult guests of the exhibition can get closer to serious science and advanced technologies at the “Nano is Nearby” master class, conducted by the head of the Department of Chemistry, Evgeniy Gribanov.
Visitors will get acquainted with high-tech equipment and will be able to observe the peculiarities of the organization of the surface of materials at the nanolevel.
“Online we can observe the study of the surface of gold as one of the materials. We see the structural elements of the surface, their characteristic dimensions, etc. This is necessary to conduct targeted synthesis of materials,” noted Evgeniy Gribanov.

Let us recall that on the basis of a scanning probe microscope, which is part of the presented complex, the “Nanoprobe” was created and launched into low-Earth orbit - a satellite that online allows you to study the influence of high-energy cosmic dust, for example, on the skin of spaceships. There, at the exhibition, using a special website, it was possible to see the current location of the satellite.
Those who enjoy reading can learn to write an amateur essay based on popular original literary works on a given topic thanks to a master class “How to write fan fiction ” by a senior teacher of the Department of History of Russian Literature of the 11th-19th centuries at OSU named after I.S. Turgenev Maria Fedorchuk. You can find out what “fan fiction” is in our interview with Maria Alexandrovna as part of the project “OSU Scientists Speak.”

In addition, each visitor will be able to try on the image of a 16th-century archer and listen to a short story about excavations at Sudbischi battlefield.

 The exposition of Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev was visited by a representative of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Oleg Mugin. Vice-Rector for Research, Design and Innovation Activities Larisa Borisoglebskaya told him about what innovation projects the University is currently implementing and what high-tech enterprises it is collaborating with.

A Soyuz-2.1b rocket is currently being prepared for launch at the Vostochny launch site. It carries on board, among other things, the Nanozond-1 satellite of Orel State University with a payload in the form of the world's first scanning probe microscope.
This is a joint project of scientists and students of the MIET National Research University, the Proton plant in Zelenograd and Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev, which was also worked on by schoolchildren from different parts of the country - pupils of the Sirius Educational Center. In addition, the project was supported by the Innovation Development Fund.
The main task of the project is to find out how the surfaces of spacecrafts (by the example of "Nanozond-1") are damaged in the aggressive environment of the near-Earth space (dust, solar energy, space debris, etc.), and, therefore, what characteristics should the materials for their production have. For this purpose, the probe microscope on board the satellite will scan the surface of the gold mirror, which is exposed to the space environment, with nanometer precision. The images of the surface will then be transmitted by radio to Earth for further study.

FOREIGN STUDENTS OF OSU LAW INSTITUTE SELEBRATED MASLENITSA FESTIVAL

22.02.2023

One of the good traditions of the Law Institute in recent years has been the involvement of international students in the daily life of our country through good, well-established traditions. One of these holidays was the Russian Pancake Day(Maslenitsa). It is a holiday of both Russian tradition, analogies of which are found in almost all nations whose lives are connected with the arrival of spring, and all the charm that lives in the festive Russian national clothes.

 

Students of the Law Institute of OSU named after I.S. Turgenev selebrated with traditional pancakes, jam, bagels and other symbols of both Russian cuisine and a traditional student feast. There were pancakes from several housewives, and, as they say, from a domestic manufacturer. It is both possible and necessary to understand another country through what and how they eat here.

It is no secret that another country, in which you have not just to live for several years, but also to study in another language, does not immediately become familiar. In order to smooth the difficulties of cultural exchange and understanding the culture of the new country, OSU Theory and History of State and Law Department constantly helps foreign students studying international and comparative law at Law Institute to feel closer to what is called the Russian culture.

New in this year's carnival was the fact that undergraduates of the Theory and History of State and Law Department, studying in the profile "Historical and Legal Education", within the framework of pedagogical practice, took the most lively, and bilingual participation in this event, carrying both the word and the music of the great Russian classical composers to the student audience.

"OUR NEXT TARGET IS THE PLAYOFF!"

HOCKEY PLAYERS OF OREL STATE UNIVERSITY BEAT THE FORMIDABLE FAVOURITE TWICE AT HOME.

24.01.2023

In the last round of the Student Hockey League hockey players of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev hosted Kazan "Krylatye Bars". Home games with Tambov "Derzhava" already made the newcomers to the elite of student hockey look at the team in a new way. The players of Orel team are gradually getting used to the new tournament, getting hard knocks and starting to believe in themselves. The games with the Bars only confirmed that.
The home team didn't give their opponents or fans the slightest chance to think they might lose. At some points, they still lacked chemistry, but they more than made up for those deficiencies with individual skill and the home court factor. Orel fans saw bright hockey in person at home, and it will be the matches of the last tour that will draw more attention to the team of Orel State University.

Both games pleased the fans with a large number of goals scored and two beautiful victories of the Orel team: 5:3 and 8:5.
Samvel Davtyan, captain of the I.S. Turgenev OGU team: "The valuable thing about this victory is that we defeated a strong opponent. The guys are the winners of the Student Hockey League. These victories are a big success for us. I hope that's just the beginning. These matches confirmed that we are gradually becoming a team. We're getting to know each other from the game point of view and we're improving our tactics. I don't think we're thinking about the playoffs yet - there are still too many games to play. We must give our best in every game. Playing against tough opponents like we did in our group is a big opportunity for each player to grow. And that growth is sure to pay off. More precisely, it has already begun."

Adel Galiullin, player of HC "Krylatye Bars" (Kazan): "After home games there was some self-confidence. Maybe we underestimated our opponent somewhere. But excuses are the lot of the weak. We have what we have. I have to give credit to our opponent; their mood was very different from how it was in Kazan. We saw a completely different team here. They had a great commitment. Last week, when the Orel hockey team played with Tambov and put up a very good fight, you could see that the team is getting used to it. The foundations were being laid. They had to take a shot. And they did."

 Gennady Skiba, the coach of Orel State University team: "The meeting with Kazan hockey players in the first round ended unsuccessfully for us - we lost both games with a large score. There were many reasons for that, we were brought down by injuries and illnesses. I admit that we were expecting a hard fought game in this round. In the last round, in games against Tambov Derzhava, we showed an equal game. And there was hope for the development of success. And everything has turned out".

Natalia Kondykova, the Institute Career Guidance Coordinator, spoke about the specifics of the areas of study and the specifics of the admissions campaign in 2023. This information has undoubtedly become important for students in grades 10-11 and will help them in choosing directions for their future studies at the University.
Eight sections were organized in the work of the Scientific and Practical Conference: "Applied Ecology", "Bioecology", "Biotechnology", "History of the development of natural science", "Diversity, protection and rational use of animals", "Botany", "Physiology, biochemistry of plants and biophysics", "Anatomy and physiology of man". The reports of the participants caused a heated discussion of the jury members and many questions, since each work revealed the topics that are relevant today.
In particular, the speech of Mikhail Kolesnikov (Grade 11, MBOU-Secondary School No. 6, Orel) revealed the seriousness of self-harm - an urgent problem for modern teenagers. The report demonstrated the personal example of the author in solving the pressing issue of helping teenagers get rid of the obsessive idea of inflicting bodily harm on themselves.

An interesting report was made by Denis Chirkov (grade 7, MBOU-school No. 51 of Orel), in which he demonstrated practical work on making shampoo from natural products, which allows you to maintain healthy hair and scalp.

The work of Alina Korotkova and Anton Pervykh (10th grade, Educational Institution of Orel Region "Constellation of Orel") attracted special attention. The children managed to screen nitrogen-fixing bacteria for their ability to stimulate plant growth. The data obtained are undoubtedly of interest to scientists-microbiologists, plant breeders and biotechnologists.

The works and reports of the participants of the Conference were evaluated by the members of the jury - leading teachers of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Biotechnology, who have scientific degrees of candidates and doctors of sciences.
According to the results of the Conference, the jury determined the winners and prize-winners, who were given diplomas of appropriate categories. The work of supervisors and mentors of the Conference participants was noted by letters of gratitude.
